Celebs & Money

You don't have to go broke to be beautiful.

True, caring for your hair and skin in the winter can be a challenge, and you'll probably spend more money on beauty essentials during the colder months.

Very often hair of all types becomes frizzy, dull, and unruly. Exposure to extreme temperatures is the culprit. Moreover, heat from blow dryers, flat irons and curlers don't help either. So what can you do about it?

First, don't go on a spending spree winter-proofing your beauty routine.

The truth is expensive hair care products are not always better for the health of your hair. In fact, there's no reason to spend more than eight dollars on hair care products. Nevertheless, your stylist may tell you that the drugstore brands are inferior. The next time you're in the beauty aisle, pick up a high-end brand and a cheaper brand, and compare the ingredient list.

Notice that the list is similar? The price won't tell you the value of the product on your hair. The truth is both expensive and inexpensive hair care products have more in common than you think. What's the difference? Price. Do you want to know more money-saving tips for beating the winter hair and skin care blues? Here are some great tips!

Steven Tyler, of Aerosmith and American Idol fame, sang the U.S. national anthem earlier this week. Based on general consensus - and we mean The Baltimore Sun, The Washington Post blogs, US Weekly and more - it wasn't very good.



Now to be fair, Tyler is one of the most famous singers in the world. He's had a 30-year singing career with a lot of highs (Permanent Vacation) and a few lows (epic drug taking with "toxic twin" and fellow Aerosmith member, Joe Perry). You may or may not be the biggest fan of his band, but the man can sing.

Here's a video of him signing live with Aerosmith:

Many well-known entertainers have pursued graduate degrees. But while some went for the obvious educational path - Sigourney Weaver's Master of Fine Arts from the Yale School of Drama for example - others didn't.

Glory alleluia! Did you see that throw?

For those of you who may not be huge football fans, I'm referring to Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow's 80-yard strike for a huge overtime win against the Pittsburgh Steelers last weekend.

Tebow has caused a stir in the sports world because he's a deeply religious young man who has managed to pull off a few seemingly miraculous wins. Whenever he scores a touchdown, Tebow is known to take a knee and acknowledge Jesus - something that has become known as "Tebowing" (watch an example at the 36-second mark of this video).

Of course, taking a knee and acknowledging God after a home run, goal or touchdown isn't new. But Tebow is one of the few who seems to really mean it. With the Broncos heading into New England to play against the Patriots this Saturday, Tebow is almost bigger than the game itself.

So was Tebow's amazing overtime win divine intervention? Who knows. One thing is certain, though: the Dallas Cowboys may be America's team, but this year Denver is looking more and more like God's team.

Redemption Inc. is a CBC reality show that sees ten ex-cons vie for an opportunity that has been "Kevin sent" -- as in, Kevin O'Leary.

The chairman of O'Leary Funds, best known as the most acerbic venture capitalist on Dragon's Den and Shark Tank will be showing his softer side in 2012 by investing $100,000 of his own money into the business of a reformed criminal, giving them a second chance at a productive and fulfilling life, when no one else will employ them.

If you ask him though, he's the same money loving free-market philosopher he's always been. He's simply responding to an entrepreneurial spirit that has always been there among these people and redirecting it to the right side of the law.
