Paris Hilton's younger sister Nicky reveals her extreme weight loss

Ricky and Kathy Hilton have long had to worry about their wild daughter Paris due to her wild-child party lifestyle, and recent brush with the law.

But it looks as if they might need to turn their attentions to their younger daughter Nicky, 24, who appears to be modelling herself on Amy Winehouse judging from her dramatic weightloss which has left her looking bony and worryingly thin.

Thinner: Nicky Hilton, seen here in Los Angeles on Thursday, appears to have loss a dramatic amount of weight, leaving her already slim body and her long legs look extremely bony

Bony: A slender Nicky chose a casual outfit to go shopping in

Paris' less limelight-hogging sister, who is three years younger than her ex-jailbird sister was seen out shoe shopping at the Christian Louboutin store in sunny Los Angeles yesterday.

And while wearing a pair of denim shorts, the fashion designer exhibited a pair of ultra-thin, bony legs that would easily earn her a catwalk ban in Madrid.

Her knobbly knees appeared to extend up to her thigh bone, with barely any muscle or fat to fill out her absent curves. A marked contrast from a similar picture of her taken just seven months ago, when an already slim Nicky appeared healthy and curvy.

Spot the difference: Nicky has lost all her body fat, and some muscle it seems, and looks dramatically thinner compared to the picture of the younger Hilton sister on the right, which was taken in July 2007

Hilton hieresses: Paris and Nicky on a night out

The Hilton's 5ft 7in daughter has up until now managed to avoid the intense media glare afforded her more famous sibling.

But judging by these pictures, if she continues to get thinner, that may not last.

Meanwhile, sibling Paris was seen out with some new reading material. Namely, a copy of celebrity magazine People with friend Nicole Richie on the cover.

Sister act: Nicky's older sister Paris seen leaving the Four Seasons hotel in Beverly Hills, California. And she's carrying a bag with a copy of People magazine with pal Nicole Richie on the cover

Paris catches up on all the gossip and photos of pal Nicole Richie's new baby Harlow in the new issue of celebrity magazine People

Clearly Paris was eager to get all the news and gossip on pal Nicole's new baby as soon as it hit newsstands.

But the Hilton family's brushes with the law continue as Barron Hilton, the younger brother of Paris and Nicky Hilton, was arrested on February 12 for driving under the influence.

The 18-year-old was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence after his blood alcohol was found to be nearly twice the legal limit.

Como ganar un Oscar (Actores)

® Reforma. (24 febrero 2008).

Si se trata de un Actor:

1 Si usted es actor y es guapo, tiene problemas. Le recomendamos volverse feo o interpretar a alguien con enfermedades mentales, aunque probablemente no gane y sólo reciba nominación (Brad Pitt en Doce Monos, 1995; Leonardo DiCaprio en El Aviador, 2004; Johnny Depp en Sweeney Todd, 2007).

2 La segunda opción, mucho más recomendable, es volverse director (Kevin Costner por Danza con Lobos, 1990; Robert Redford por Gente Como Uno, 1980; Clint Eastwood por Los Imperdonables, 1992). Eso le dará cierto caché y ya podrá ser considerado posteriormente.

3 Si usted es mujer guapa y se transforma en fea ganará más fácilmente que los hombres (Charlize Theron en Monster: Asesina en Serie, 2003; Nicole Kidman en Las Horas, 2002).

4 Si usted intentó todo esto, pero es demasiado guapo, su pareja también es demasiado guapa, son muy exitosos y tienen unos hijitos perfectos; no pida tanto y confórmese con lo que tiene. Mire a Angelina Jolie y Brad Pitt. No fueron nominados por Todo Corazón (2007) y El Asesinato de Jesse James por el Cobarde Robert Ford (2007). Eso que ella sí fue considerada en los Globos de Oro y él ganó como Mejor Actor en el Festival de Venecia.

5 Si usted es feo y, además, hace el papel de alguien con problemas físicos o mentales tiene más posibilidades de ganar (Jamie Foxx, por Ray, 2004; Jack Nicholson en Mejor Imposible, 1997; Geoffrey Rush en Claroscuro, 1996; Tom Hanks en Forrest Gump, 1994; Dustin Hoffman en Cuando los Hermanos se Encuentran, 1988).

6 Suba o baje de peso. Al menos recibirá una nominación (Tom Hanks por Náufrago, 2000; Renée Zellweger por El Diario de Bridget Jones, 2001).

7 Si su papel es muy importante, pero cree que la competencia es dura, propóngase como actor de reparto, no como principal. Aunque no gane, recibirá nominación (Javier Bardem en Sin Lugar para los Débiles, 2007; Julianne Moore en Las Horas, 2002; Jake Gyllenhaal en Secreto en la Montaña, 2005).

8 Si usted es joven, poco conocido y la Academia piensa que puede tener una brillante carrera, obtendrá un Óscar (de Reparto o como Actor Principal) y, con él, un gran lanzamiento (Angelina Jolie en Inocencia Interrumpida, 1999; Hilary Swank en Los Muchachos No Lloran, 1999; Benicio del Toro en Tráfico, 2000).

9 Si por el contrario, usted ya es muuuuuy conocido y no le habían dado un Óscar, no se preocupe, lo obtendrá después aunque no haya sido el mejor papel de su vida. (Paul Newman por El Color del Dinero, 1986; después de siete nominaciones). También aplica para directores (Martin Scorsese por Los Infiltrados, 2006; después de seis nominaciones).

10 Si no consigue nada de esto, persevere hasta volverse viejo. Si la Academia cree que usted va a morir pronto, empezará a nominarlo sin parar: Mire a Judi Dench: tiene cinco nominaciones y un Óscar por un papel de 10 minutos en Shakespeare Apasionado (1998). O Gloria Stuart, quien nunca había sido nominada en su vida y participó en la terna como Mejor Actriz de Reparto por un papel de 15 minutos en Titanic (1997). Es el mismo caso de Hal Holbrook, nominado este año por Camino Salvaje (2007).

Weekend Babe: Sexy Japanese Cover Girl Mami Yamasaki

Yowza! It's March already! Can't believe it... time flies doesn't it? The week, we have the sexy Japanese Model Mami Yamasaki as our weekend babe. She was featured here on beautifulnewsmakers last month, and I must say...we can't get enough of her!

Here's a sexy one from the pages of Sabra. Have fun!

Susannah looks all lumpy up top as she arrives Down Under

Susannah Constantine is a self-appointed doyen of style, but during a promotional tour of New Zealand today, it appeared she'd forgotten to take her own advice.

The What Not To Wear star, who was joined by co-host Trinny Woodall, 43, at an shopping centre in Auckland, donned a figure-hugging scoop-neck top that to the casual observer, looked to be just a little too snug.

Lumpy: Susannah Constantine spilled over her top during an appearance at a shopping centre in New Zealand today

The 44-year-old's lacy bra appeared to be making a bid for freedom while her cleavage spilled over in all the wrong places.

This from a woman who helped to persuade 900 women to strip down to their underwear and dispose of their ill-fitting bras as part of a publicity stunt for Undress The Nation last year.

Girls on tour: Susannah was joined by her cohost Trinny Woodall

Once over: Trinny and Susannah size up a fan during the promotional visit

The duo are set to make a series of appearance in the country to promote the show, assuring New Zealand women they came in peace.

Susannah told local press: "We shoot from the hip, and we tell it to them straight, we don't hold any punches and I think that's why we sometimes get the reputation of being a little bit cruel.

"But everything we say and our determination to help a woman is so passionate that sometimes it can be perceived in the wrong way. It all comes from the heart."

Airport security forces Renée to show the world her beauty products

She's a Hollywood A-lister who has nabbed an Oscar and has millions in the bank.

Yet Renée Zellweger's visit to Los Angeles International Airport yesterday proves why she is considered tinsel town's most down-to-earth star as she revealed the contents of her handbag - numerous beauty products and battered trainers.

The 38-year-old actress was making her way through security when she was required to empty her gigantic bag into a tray to pass through the conveyor belt.

WHY BEAUTY MATTERS: A down-to-earth Renée Zellweger makes her way through security at Los Angeles International Airport yesterday, placing all her beauty products in a bag

Besides her myriad of facial treatments which she placed in a transparent bag, Zellweger also had to remove her trusted and obviously well-worn running shoes, to walk through security in just her white socks.

Dressed in a tatty grey top, pair of jeans and sunglasses which she kept on the whole time, the modest star appeared in good spirits as she happily obliged.

No special treatment: Hollywood star Renee was forced to show her belongings just like any other passenger at LA's LAX International Airport yesterday

The actress appears amused at having to remove her trusty pair of trainers to place in the tray to pass through the security conveyor belt

The Bridget Jones's actress was in the City of Angels for last weekend's Oscar ceremony, where she appeared painfully thin on the red carpet.

However she did look every inch the Hollywood star as she graced the red carpet in a stunning Carolina Herrara gown accessorised with vintage diamond Cartier brooches.

Lindsay Lohan debuts her Daisy Duke shorts look

Her acting career has received a critical mauling recently, so it comes as no surprise Lindsay Lohan is concentrating on her dress sense instead.

The troubled actress's latest look of cut-off denim shorts appears to be inspired by seventies sex symbol Daisy Duke.

Leaving little to the imagination with her clinging black top, waistcoat, and massive Jackie O sunglasses, Lohan was out-and-about in West Hollywood yesterday.

Catherine Bach played the sexy short-shorts-wearing cousin Daisy in the popular U.S. TV show, The Dukes of Hazzard, while Jessica Simpson took up the role for 2005's big screen incarnation.

It's been a bad start to the year for Lohan, who spent most of 2007 in rehab being treated for substance abuse.

While her contemporaries Keira Knightley and Scarlett Johansson have been nominated for an Oscar and won a Bafta respectively, Lohan's latest film was awarded a staggering EIGHT Golden Raspberry Awards.

I Know Who Killed Me, shot around Lohan's first of three stints in rehab last year, was named Worst Film of the year, last week.

She picked up two wins as Worst Actress for playing two characters who may or may not have been twins.

Her dual roles also got Razzied for a scene in which the two characters appear together, as Worst Screen Couple.

The film was also named Worst Remake or Rip-off, for paying dubious homage to Hostel, Saw and The Patty Duke Show.

Her campy horror film, I Know Who Killed Me, which has never been released here, surpassed the record seven wins previously held by Battleship Earth and Showgirls.

Como ganar un Oscar (Directores)

Por Doly Mallet
® Reforma. (24 febrero 2008).

Si se trata de un Director:

1 Si va a hacer una película, inclínese por un drama. Es el género favorito de la Academia.

2 Evite el horror. La única cinta que ha ganado la estatuilla en este género ha sido El Silencio de los Inocentes (1991); y de suspenso fue Rebecca (1940) de Alfred Hitchcock. Si quiere ir a la segura, no se meta en caminos poco usados. Y olvídese por completo de la ciencia ficción; nunca ha ganado.

3 Si prefiere otro género, sus opciones son el musical (Chicago, 2002; La Novicia Rebelde, 1965; Mi Bella Dama, 1964) o el épico (Gladiador, 2000; El Último Emperador, 1987; Ben Hur, 1959).

4 Puede ser una comedia, pero deberá ser comedia-dramática-inteligente (Shakespeare Apasionado, 1998; Belleza Americana, 1999; Annie Hall, 1977); lo cual es difícil de conseguir. Por lo tanto, es más probable que quede solamente nominado y no gane el premio mayor. Insistimos, elija el drama.

5 Ya que tiene el drama, escoja una "bio-pic". Es mucho más factible que lo consideren si lo que está contando es un "caso real" (Una Mente Brillante, 2001; La Lista de Schindler, 1993; Amadeus, 1984). Aunque la vida del sujeto en cuestión ya sea dramática de por sí, usted exagérela lo más posible (Corazón Valiente, 1995).

6 Tendrá más posibilidades si su protagonista -aunque sea ficticio- tiene algún problema mental (Forrest Gump, 1994; Cuando los Hermanos se Encuentran, 1988; Una Mente Brillante, 2001).

7 La historia debe ser como sigue: protagonista noble de corazón lucha por un ideal (acorde con los valores americanos); sufre y sigue sufriendo para, al final, cumplir su meta. Puede ser más trágico si es pobre y muere (Golpes del Destino, 2004; Gladiador, 2000; Corazón Valiente, 1995).

8 Debe asegurarse que su película no haya representado una pérdida. Acuérdese del caso Pearl Harbor: Entre el Fuego y la Pasión (2001), que todos pensaron sería la nueva Titanic, pero como fue un desastre en taquilla los Óscares no la tomaron en cuenta.

9 No utilice temas tabúes; la Academia es conservadora. Aunque ya le está dando su lugar a los afroamericanos, todavía no termina de abrir las puertas a los homosexuales. Recuerde que la favorita Secreto en la Montaña (2005) perdió ante una película sobre el racismo, Alto Impacto (2004).

10 No olvide que la mayoría de los miembros de la Academia pertenecen a la comunidad judía; por lo mismo, no se le ocurra decir comentarios antisemitas o hacer una película demasiado católica que pueda ser interpretada como insultante. Mel Gibson era consentido en Corazón Valiente (5 Óscares, y otras 5 nominaciones) y cayó por completo de la gracia de los jueces con La Pasión de Cristo (2004, cero Óscares).

11 Otro camino es que haga su cinta con poco dinero, pero con un guión original y bien escrito. Probablemente no gane, pero se le nominará (Juno: Correr, Crecer y Tropezar, 2007; Pequeña Miss Sunshine, 2006; Entre Copas, 2004). Si corre con suerte, años después se puede convertir en director de culto (Quentin Tarantino por Tiempos Violentos, 1994; Los hermanos Coen por Fargo: Secuestro Involuntario, 1996).

12 Ya que tiene su producto, participe en diversos festivales. Si va adquiriendo premios, la Academia volteará a verlo más fácilmente.

Hello, Pittsburgh

Posted by Andrew Moore, Engineering Director

On Tuesday, March 4, the Google Pittsburgh office will open its doors to the technical community for a special evening. We'll kick things off with some mingling over beer, wine and snacks, and then transition into a tech talk with one of our local engineers, Pat Stephenson.

Pat will discuss the implementation of Dapper, a low-overhead system for monitoring the performance of large, distributed applications at Google, and the tools his team has built to analyze the data in a talk titled "Dapper: It's 11 p.m. and do you know where your RPC is?"

We hope to create a collegial atmosphere where members of the technical community can learn from and get to know one another.

If you're in the Pittsburgh area, please join us. Space is limited, however, so hurry and register.

Bringing it all together

Posted by Scott Johnston, Senior Product Manager (former VP of Products at JotSpot)

Many of you have been waiting for JotSpot to re-emerge, integrated into Google -- and now it's happening. Here's the story:

In the last 10 years, the way all of us work has changed. We've grown accustomed to always being connected through email and instant messaging. Consequently, people are working together in teams more often, with larger groups, and with others who may be in different parts of the country or the world. We are shifting our focus from personal to team productivity. It's less about "you" and more about "us."

But with this explosion in collaboration, how do you bring together everything your team needs to work? How do you take information, whether it is on your desktop or online, and share it with specific groups of people -- your team, the company, the public?

Meet Google Sites, the newest addition to the Google Apps product suite. It was designed to allow you to easily create a network of sites and share them with whomever you choose. Google Sites lets you pull together information from across Google Apps by embedding documents, spreadsheets, presentations, videos, and calendars in your sites. Of course, we also harness the power of Google search technology so your search results are always fast and relevant.

What does it take to start using Google Sites? Just a click of a button -- that's it. Here's an overview with more detail:



We're just finishing up the code to migrate existing JotSpot customer wikis to Google sites, so if you're already a JotSpot customer, you'll be hearing from us soon on how to make the switch.

If you aren't a Google Apps customer yet and want to use Google Sites, sign up at http://sites.google.com.

Google Health, a first look

Posted by Marissa Mayer, VP, Search & User Products

It's been a busy week for the Google Health team. Last week we announced our partnership and pilot with the Cleveland Clinic. This week, the team has been at the HIMSS (Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society) conference in Orlando, Florida, where Eric Schmidt gave the closing keynote. Eric's keynote marks the first time we've talked publicly about the product we've been designing and building. His talk also offered a deeper view into our overall health strategy. (Watch the video.)

Google Health aims to solve an urgent need that dovetails with our overall mission of organizing patient information and making it accessible and useful. Through our health offering, our users will be empowered to collect, store, and manage their own medical records online.

For the healthcare industry, online personal health records (PHRs) aren't a new idea and, in some cases, online PHRs already exist for patients. Here's what we think sets Google Health apart:

• Privacy and Security - Due to the sensitive and personal nature of the data that will be stored in Google Health, we need to conduct our health service with the same privacy, security, and integrity users have come to expect in all our services. Google Health will protect the privacy of your health information by giving you complete control over your data. We won't sell or share your data without your explicit permission. Our privacy policy and practices have been developed in thoughtful collaboration with experts from the Google Health Advisory Council.
  

• Platform - One of the most exciting and innovative parts of Google Health is our platform strategy. We're assembling a directory of third-party services that interoperate with Google Health. Right now, this means you'll be able to automatically import information such as your doctors' records, your prescription history, and your test results into Google Health in order to easily access and control your data. Later, this platform strategy will mean that you will be able to interact with services and tools easily, and will be able to do things like schedule appointments, refill prescriptions, and start using new wellness tools.
  

• Portability - Our Internet presence ultimately means that through Google Health, you will be able to have access and control over your health data from anywhere. Through the Cleveland Clinic pilot, we have already found great use-cases in which, for example, people spend 6 months of the year in Ohio, and 6 months of the year in Florida or Arizona, and will now be able to move their health data between their various health providers seamlessly and with total control. Previously, this would have required carrying paper records back and forth. With Google Health, the user can simply import the data from each medical facility and then choose to share it with the other facilities. It's advances in data portability like this that we think can really make a difference in the quality of healthcare. The clearer and more comprehensive the information regarding your health becomes, the better your care will be.
  

• User focus - We aren't doctors or healthcare experts, but one thing Google can create is a clean, easy-to-use user experience that makes managing your health information straightforward and easy. We're still iterating and testing our user interface, but here is what the welcome screen looks like:
  
  Here is a screenshot deeper in the application:
  
  
• We're proud of the product that we've designed and are continuing to build, but recognize that we are just at the initial stages of our "launch early and iterate" strategy. We look forward to the feedback we will receive from our Cleveland Clinic pilot, from all of you, and from the initial users of our service when we make it publicly available in the coming months.

Update: Added link to video of Eric's talk; refreshed second screenshot.

Maria Ozawa (小澤マリア, Ozawa Maria), also known as Miyabi (みやび, Miyabi)(born January 8, 1986), is a popular Japanese AV idol.Maria Ozawa is of mixed-race parentage. Her mother is Japanese and her father is French-Canadian, which gives her a look that has been described as "a perfect balance of Japanese beauty mixed with a dash of exoticism." Since she attended an international school from primary school to high school, she claims that her English reading and writing ability is better than her Japanese. Despite her international background, in interviews Ozawa expresses a preference for Asian sexual and romantic partners. While at school, she played hockey every day, and often went to karaoke after class. Her hobbies include cooking, which she is good at, and watching AVs on her flatscreen television set.
