Check out Kylie Minogue's magical new ad campaign for Tous handbags

Our favourite Aussie pop princess Kylie Minogue is famous for bringing a little sparkle to our lives, but she's pulled out all the stops in a glam new photo shoot by Ellen Von Unwerth for Tous handbags. 

Dressed as a sexy magician's assistant for the spangly snaps, Kylie tweeted: 'Hello
peeps!! Am

by Ellen Von Unwerth. It's all about...*m*a*g*i*c!!

'I first worked
with Ellen in the mid 90s....!!! She has great energy and takes
gorgeous pics.'

We think they're pretty gorgeous, too!

New research looks into the benefits of bubbly and beer

Don't hang up your party shoes just yet!

In the past week or so I've read at least two articles suggesting that booze might actually have health benefits. Will wonders never cease? And here I was clutching on to the wagon for dear life…

One report I read in Style magazine says that champagne is the best way to ease your liver out of a January detox as it's packed with a blood vessel-expanding plant extract and actually contains as many antioxidants as a glass of red wine. Even better: bubbly also contains less calories than wine. 

Dr Jeremy Spencer from Reading University says, "We've discovered that a couple of glasses of champagne a day has a beneficial effect on the walls of blood vessels, which suggests it has the potential to reduce strokes and heart disease." 

The next piece of news that's sure to wet your whistle is… wait for it - beer is actually good for your bones! Moderate consumption of beer is thought to improve bone mineral density and may help to prevent - and even fight - the brittle bone disease osteoposis, according to a study by the University of California.

But be sure go steady and only drink in moderation - as we all know, too much booze is not good for you.

Geez - it sure is a delicate balancing act. It's a good thing I'm a Libran. 

Chin chin, sweetie!

The dwarf planet was named 80 years ago

On 18th February, it will be 80 years since the discovery of Pluto and, despite the dwarf planet's demotion to 'minor planet' in 2006, astro enthusiasts the world over refuse to believe that it is anything other than deserving of 'Planet' status.

This takes me right back to Primary School, where my 2nd grade teacher, the wonderful - if strict - Sister Margaret Moran taught me the phrase: "My Very Elderly Mother Just Sat Up Near Pluto".

But there are other well-known sayings which were coined to help us remember the planets, such as, "My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us Nine Pizzas" or even "My Very Early Morning Jam Sandwiches Usually Need Pepper". And without Pluto, none of these sayings would make a jot of sense anymore!

Not only that... Astrologically speaking, Pluto is a very important planet indeed! In astrological terms, powerful Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio and stands for
transformation, sex, death, power and emotional healing.

So I say we celebrate Pluto as a planet in honour of this auspicious occasion. 

****Happy 80th Planet Pluto****

Could Rodial's new Glamoxy Snake Serum paralyse the effects of ageing?

In the war against ageing, some people will go to extreme lengths to hold back time. From Botox injections to going under the knife, these days the phrase 'beauty is pain' has never seemed more appropriate.

But would you smother your face in snake poison to stay youthful? Now you can try it. Beauty company Rodial have developed a product called Glamoxy Snake Serum, containing an ingredient called Syn-Ake, which is said to mimic the Asian Temple Viper's venom and give the effect of 'Botox in a bottle'. 

While snake venom has had various uses throughout the history of healing and medicine - and has more recently been studied as a possible treatment for heart attacks and some forms of cancer - this is the first time it's properties have been used purely a beauty tool.

While there's a waiting list of 100,000 Brits waiting to try the new product, celebs such as Cheryl Cole, Victoria Beckham and Kate Moss are already rumoured to be fans.

If only Eve had known about the effects of snake venom back in The Garden Of Eden - we're sure she would've found a use for that pesky serpent!

I just moved house, so any decorating tips would be great!

I just moved in with my boyfriend and I'm loving our new flat. We're just discussing how we want to decorate the new place, so you can imagine my excitement when I heard that the Ideal Home Show is coming to London from 20th March to the 5th April (check our Discussions section on Monday 15th Feb for our exclusive Prediction reader ticket offer).

I'm considering calling in a Feng Shui expert or my good friend, who is a professional interior architect, to help us agree on which of now-shared items to showcase. It's going to be tough - I am probably not the biggest fan of his 90s lava lamp and fibre-optic laser light, but equally I'm not sure he's frightfully keen on my clothes taking up the entire wardrobe (or breaking the railing for that matter. Oops!) or having my Tarot cards, crystals and spiritual parafernalia strewn throughout the flat either.

I've just realised that it probably sounds like we're living on a spaceship…  

It's off to the Ideal Home Show for us, quick smart!

Visit Marmaland.com and see what your marmalde jar says about you!

I have to tell you… I really, really love my job at Prediction!

It's not every day you discover a museum totally and utterly dedicated to Marmalade with it's very own website called Marmaland.com.

And that's not all! If you scroll down the homepage and click on Paddington's Corner, you'll discover that - in a new and unusual concept quite similar to Palmistry or having your tea leaves read - you can have your very own psychic marmalade jar reading! 

That's right! Marusan Mu Chicki Chicki - who is apparently the personal sidekick of Marmaland's Marmalord (the head of Marmaland) - is on hand to read your jar today.

All you have to do is email a picture of your favourite marmalade pot to marusanmuchickichicki@marmaland.com. 

In a week where I've discovered such random delights as Googling with kittens, a bizarre website called simply Sellick Waterfall Sandwich (weird, yes, but strangely soothing) and footage of an Orangutan bonding with a hound, this site has won - hands down - as the most entertaining and amusing of them all. 

Now all we need is a psychic Marmite jar reader! 

Anyway, I'm off to buy some marmalade…

It's Google for cat lovers!

I've just happened upon something very cute - yet strangely bizarre - thanks to http://theridiculant.metro.co.uk/. 

If - like us - you're a cat lover or even an animal lover, next time you need to Google something, go to http://www.googlingwithkittens.com/ and you can search the web with the help of an armful of gorgeous fluffy kitties.

What's even better is that the Kittens stay with you as you view the various web pages you searched for through http://www.googlingwithkittens.com/!

Aw, can we keep them!?

London-based design agency launches new airship concept for greener travel

I've always wanted to go to New York, but never more so now that I've heard about the posh new airships that have been designed by London firm Seymourpowell. 

Imagine relaxing in your own luxury penthouse, sipping champagne and lounging on a king-size bed for the journey, rather than being squished into no-frills cattle class.

Of course, it might take a bit longer to reach The Big Apple - 31 hours longer to be precise, at a cruising speed of just 90mph - but who needs speed when these fancy aircraft come complete with their own glass viewing floors and even a bar?

Not only that, they are silent, solar-powered and pollution-free! And apparently they could be a reality as soon as 2015. 

Get in line to reduce your carbon footprint…

Selfridges have created the ultimate 'love tea'

If you're stuck for something to get your other half this Valentine's Day, why not spice up the romance with a spot of 'Love Potion'?

I'm not talking about a new love spell - though you could certainly try that (buy our March issue of Prediction - out 25th February - for instructions on how to do a Crystal Layout to attract lasting love).

London department store Selfridges have created a special aphrodisiac tea especially for Valentine's Day. The Love Potion blend contains jasmine silver needle, white tea, pink rosebuds and orange flowers. Never has love smelled - or tasted - so sweet. But it'll cost ya - for 100g of the love tea, it'll set you back a whopping £11.

Pass the bubbly, honey!
