Last night on Gossip Girl, Serena's dark and dirty secret from the past is revealed, we learn that a certain cast member (er, family member) is gay, and Blair and Jenny continue their quest for power over each other. I can barely wait for next Monday night when the drama continues. How well were you paying attention? Aside from their beautiful clothes, there were tons of kooky hairstyles and flirty makeup looks. Take my quiz to see just how well your memory serves.

America's sweetheart, Reese Witherspoon, sure is working doubletime as the Avon spokesperson by participating in the Avon Foundation Walk For Breast Cancer in Washington, DC this weekend. Not only do I love her for being such a do-gooder, but she's pretty darn adorable in that plaited ponytail.
Becoming the new Avon lady means that we'll be seeing much more of that crisp smile and beautiful skin in the coming months. The first product she has helped launch (just a few weeks ago) is Avon Pro-to-Go Lipstick ($5.99). If you haven't seen the commercial yet, you can watch it here and if you'd like to hear my thoughts on the new lipstick (I've tried Cherry Glisten, the color that Reese is wearing), read more
Oh, there's trouble in Hollywood. Lo and Lauren continue to drift further away from Audrina while Heidi goes after a promotion that will allow her to travel with work and subsequently escape from Spencer. On top of that, Lauren and Lo get a puppy and Stephanie kicks Spencer out of her apartment. But that's just the plot; I'm here to test how well you were paying attention to the hair and makeup. Feeling lucky? Be sure to take Fab's fashion quiz and Geek's gadget quiz, too.
