Well, it looks like natural counts for something in a sea of breast implants & botox.
Jennifer Aniston, or ”The Natural”, has topped People magazine’s Best Dressed List 2006. Halle Berry, dubbed “The Classic”, took No. 2 & Sin City‘s Jessica Alba, “The Newcomer”, placed at No. 3.
People’s executive director Elizabeth Sporkin said the 2006 list was for the first time not chosen by the editors, but by online readers.
Sporkin said that Aniston had swept the poll by 54 percent.Â
“She has a fashion sense that is very accessible,” stated Sporkin.
“She wears jeans and T-shirts and blazers. She dresses like a regular person, and her evening wear, if you were going to an event, you would think you could really dress like her.”

In the October UK edition of Elle magazine, Drew Barrymore illuminates the pages as only she can.  Barrymore, aside from looking lovely, reveals to the magazine that she suffers from the occasional panic attack, but will not take prescription medication for her condition.
Barrymore says, "Every single medical expert says (panic attacks) are not real. So you're like, 'But how come when my throat is closing up, I'm blind with dizziness, I can't catch my breath, and I am hot and faint and want to rip my skin off and am convinced I'm going to die', that's so real to me?"
"I had some specialist recommend a daily drug, but I don't want to do it because I don't want to suppress my emotions. I would never take a pill."
Drew's father who also suffers from panic attacks takes medication to ease this issue, but Barrymore won't hear of it. I can't blame her, with such an adorable personality it would be a shame to chemically alter her moods.

The fray over Jessica Alba's Playboy cover continues; Susan Storm herself is battling the Playboy tides. Playboy's Sex and Music Issue that hit stands this month features a bikini-ed Alba on the front cover, despite pleas to keep her out of the men's magazine.Â
Alba threatened legal action after Playboy bosses put her on the cover & claiming they implied she was naked inside. The born again Christian insists the powers-that-be ignored her pleas not to appear in the issue.Â
She explains, "They asked me to do it and I said no, and then they offered to pay and I said no and then they went behind my back and I just don't think it's right. It's not the mark I want to make in this business."Â
That mark is for your other business, eh? OK, when you can type your name, this case being 'Jessica Alba', into the Google image search and come back with close to 10 nearly naked photos, I don't think you're allowed to complain when Playboy puts you on the cover in a bikini.Â
 
Â
Immediately following the release of the March issue Alba states, "Then I got a call from my father". Who said, "Damn, girl! You're lookin' hot and I was half of that damn equation. That must make me half-hot. Wait until I show the guys at Wednesday night poker!"

The 19-year-old actress and pop singer, Lindsay Lohan denies her status as "Teen Queen" in the March issue of Allure magazine.
"I hate it when people call me a teen queen."Â
Sure, I can see that would be a little annoying, however true. Her entourage, which includes a personal assistant, an icy publicist and always an in-tow friend takes care of every need of this little real-life Drama Queen. From a hankering for a McDonald's happy meal to a napkin while she vomits up the happy meal, they are at her beck and call.Â
She recently worked on a more grown-up role acting opposite Meryl Streep, Lily Tomlin & Tommy Lee Jones in Robert Altman's A Prairie Home Companion due out this July. I'm sure the rest of the cast was just tickled to death to work with such a mature and delightful young lady. Who knows, maybe she found a consoling ear in Streep and they spent the days away talking about Wilmer Valderram's insensitivity and lack of commitment, that was after the topless pillow fights of course.
Lindsay went on to say that the past year, "felt like five lifetimes because I've grown up a lot. I know better what to do and what not to do (in bed). I lost sight of the people and the things that are most important to me (in bed)."Â
OK, I couldn't help inserting the infamous fortune cookie add-on, it made what Lindsay said almost interesting.
