Beauty

If you see Sally Field at the Oscars Sunday ... feel sympathy she's about to frickin' burst.

Sally wants a perfect hourglass figure when she hits the red carpet ... but it won't be from exercise -- she'll be wearing industrial strength underwear.

We're told the 2-time Oscar winner popped into Trashy Lingerie in West Hollywood ... looking for something to hold it all together underneath her Academy Award gown.

She saw a nude-colored corset and plunked down $200.

Apparently she liked it -- she really liked it.

Julie Bowen's beauty is a modern miracle!

Here's the then 26-year-old babe in the golf comedy "Happy Gilmore" back in 1996 (left) -- and 18 years later, the 43-year-old "Modern Family" mom earlier in the year in Sydney, Australia (right).

With the 86th Academy Awards just hours away, travel back in time and indulge in all the best and worst looks from last year's red carpet.

"12 Years a Slave" star Lupita Nyong'o says she repeatedly prayed to God asking for lighter skin during her adolescence ... because she thought having dark black skin was a curse.

Nyong'o was honored with an award on Thursday at a luncheon for Essence ... and said she was teased growing up for her "night-shaded skin" ... so she prayed God would change it.

Lupita says she was so ashamed she couldn't even look at herself in the mirror ... adding, "Every day I experienced the same disappointment of being just as dark as I had been the day before."

The actress says supermodel Alek Wek -- one of the first dark skinned supermodels -- helped boost her confidence ... because people like Oprah praised her as a beautiful woman.

Nyong'o says she ultimately learned that beauty comes in all shades ... and hopes to be an inspiration to other young girls with similar concerns.

This is model Deimante Guobyte -- she's from Lithuania ... she sometimes models lingerie ... and for some reason, she was playing football on the beach this week.

Paula Patton can still put on a happy face -- just days after announcing her separation from husband Robin Thicke, Paula arrived in L.A. with a big smile ... and no wedding ring.

The couple announced they were splitting this week -- and as we reported, the marriage meltdown stemmed from Robin's scandalous behavior with other women ... Miley Cyrus in particular.

Robin has pulled out all the stops to save his marriage -- canceling several tour dates -- but Paula's not budging.

One Direction singer Louis Tomlinson made his pro soccer DEBUT in England last night ... and while his performance was lackluster, dude was OBSESSED with his own beautiful hair.

The 22-year-old pop star hit the pitch for the Doncaster Rovers, a Football League Championship team based in Yorkshire.

Tomlinson entered the game at right back ... but didn't really see much action.

Instead, people at the game say he spent a lot of time flipping his hair around on the field.

Still, the crowd went wild for the guy ... and his team didn't lose -- the game ended in a 0-0 tie.

Amanda Bynes has turned it around in a big way ... and one of the markers is that she is now remorseful about things she did and said when she was at her worst -- particularly her comment about Drake, "I want Drake to murder my vagina."

Sources directly connected with Amanda tell TMZ ... she is in the territory of being her old self again. They say the fact that the Drake comment "horrifies her" shows she again has a sense of the difference between right and wrong.

But there's more. We're told Amanda has stopped smoking weed, she's in the process of removing a number of inappropriate tattoos, and she's kind to people with whom she interacts.

Most impressive ... Amanda is now at FIDM -- the Fashion Institute of Design Merchandising in Orange County -- and she's become so self-confident she makes presentations to her entire class and freely interacts with her classmates.

TMZ broke the story ... Amanda was diagnosed with schizophrenia and bipolarity. It's apparent the meds and the therapy are working.

Here's the insanely rich WhatsApp co-founder Jan Koum posing with his gorgeous girlfriend in Spain earlier this week (left)... and the Facebook baller who purchased the app from him -- Mark Zuckerberg with his beautiful wife (right).

The billion dollar question is...

Jen Selter -- fitness model turned ass Internet sensation -- tells TMZ Sports ... she LOVES when famous athletes and celebs reach out to her about her butt 'cause "it makes me feel special in a way."

Selter and her bulbous derriere were hittin' the streets of NYC when we talked about how her 'donk has exploded on Instagram ... with more than 2.5 million followers ... many of whom are bigtime stars.

"It's cool when talent reaches out to me ... 'cause it's like, I feel special in a way."

-- Who's got the best butt in Hollywood

The end.

Miami Heat sharpshooter Roger Mason is a terrible judge of haircuts ... this according to a lawsuit obtained by TMZ Sports.

The man going after Mason is Brandon Daire -- the brother of Roger's baby mama ... and it's clear, they don't like each other.

According to Daire ... back in 2013, Mason asked court officials to keep Brandon away from his kid due to a pattern of bizarre behavior ... including an incident in which Brandon allegedly gave the kid really bad haircut.

Mason told the court ... the kid's hair was "sloppily shaved in some areas and un-shaved in other areas."

Mason claimed the two got into a nasty verbal argument about the 'do ... and Brandon cussed him out in front of the kid.

But now, Brandon is firing back ... saying Roger LIED about the incident and it damaged his reputation, both professionally and personally. Apparently, he stands by his barber skills.

Now, Brandon is demanding at least $10 million from Mason to make things right.

We've reached out to Roger for comment -- so far, no word back.

Salma Hayek has always kept a lid on her incredibly good looks.

Here's the then 32-year-old "Dogma" actress showing off in a lilac "Blossom" inspired bucket hat at an LA premiere in 1998 (left) and 16 years later -- the now 47-year-old "30 Rock" star looking tough in a black biker cap at a fashion show in Milan earlier this month (right).

Our hats off to her.
