Do You Use Food in Your Beauty Routine?
In People magazine's 100 most beautiful people issue, Food Network host Ingrid Hoffmann talks about her love of avocados — as both food and conditioner. She says she mashes up avocado and puts it in her shower cap to moisturize her hair. I've heard of people using other foods in their beauty routines, including lemons, eggs, beer, and olive oil.

We chatted with David Arquette about Coco, after he spent the day at the food bank for Feeding America, and Jeremy Piven who had nothing but great things to say about Matt.

Dear Sugar,

You Have to Suffer to be Beautiful During Credit Crunch
Despite the feelings of doom and gloom that are settling as we face up to the credit crunch, it seems we're very reluctant to let our beauty regimes suffer. According to new research, women are choosing to cut back on their food costs to pay for cosmetics and beauty products as the credit crunch rumours become reality.
Nearly one in three women, which is the equivalent to eight million nationwide, would prefer to eat less than curtail their spending on what we all seem to see as must-have essential beauty items.

When I saw these Jelly Pong Pong popsicle soaps (about $10 each), I first smiled at their design. Then I looked at the scents — watermelon, lemonade, fudge, etc — and wasn't as keen on the idea. To me, food-scented beauty can be a wonderful treat for the senses, or it can be an olfactory disaster that turns my stomach.

A Note From Buzz: With so many new movies this week, my friend Très was nice enough to apply her scary-movie expertise to review the box office's newest zombie flick.
