Posted on January 30, 2012 by admin

Something really strange took place in 2011. Out there on Planet Showbiz, on the wilder shores by the Land of Fame, something very, very weird happened to celebrity teeth. Like Pinocchio’s nose, Jack’s beanstalk and the euro crisis, they kept getting bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger.

From Christine Bleakley to Coleen Rooney; from the entire cast of The Only Way Is Essex, to Desperate Scousewives and any other reality show you care to mention. Just take a look.

There’s also Sharon Osbourne, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Simon Cowell and Kate Beckinsale to the shiny pairs of Posh & Becks,…

Posted on January 30, 2012 by admin

Masterchef presenter Gregg Wallace, 44, on getting lucky with the ladies, fancying a bit of Delia Smith, his bust-ups with John Torode, and how he’s scared of rabbits (wimp!)

You started your foodie career as a greengrocer in a market. Were you any good at shifting spuds?
Gregg Wallace: I’m still a greengrocer. I supply restaurants in London, and I’ve got my own grocery service, Gregg’s Veg. But yes, I’m a very good salesman. I could sell sand to the Arabs. A lot of people say selling is the gift of the gab, but they’re wrong. It’s

Posted on January 30, 2012 by admin

Flossing, brushing and dodging fist fights might be the obvious ways to protect your teeth and gums, but diet also plays a crucial role. Here are nutritionist Anita Ellis’ recommendations for a perfect smile

Vitamin K

“This helps to build bone and keep your jaw healthy,” says Ellis. It’s found in kale and other green leafy vegetables, pistachio nuts, dairy and meat products.

That’s just one of the dental techniques people will be able to take advantage of within a decade, if all goes well. Lasers, let alone archaic drills, will be a distant memory.…
