St. Ives Sued We Got Walnuts to the Face ... We Wanted Gentle Apricots
St. Ives packs its Apricot Scrub with crushed walnut shells that can tear up your face, and leave you wrinkled with acne ... according to 2 women gunning for the skin treatment.
In a lawsuit the women filed, they say the supposed exfoliating facial scrub feels like sandpaper to the skin, with similar results. To back up their claim, they say dermatology research warns walnut shells to the face can cause inflammation leading to breakouts, and accelerated aging.
Their main beef is the St. Ives product says it's "dermatologist tested" -- which is misleading, they say, because it is tested ... but NOT recommended.
They've filed a class action suit against parent company, Unilever, for more than $5 million.
We reached out to St. Ives ... no word back so far.

It's Mariah Carey's world these days -- and MAC is just living in it.
Our cosmetics sources say Mariah's new makeup line is all her doing ... right down to the product names and how they're marketed at MAC stores.

For the record, we're told MAC was happy to oblige on every front ... because, well, Mariah gets what Mariah wants.

Lawyers to L'Oreal Pull Your Scalp Scalding Relaxer Before it Burns Again!!
The lawyers representing women who claim a L'Oréal hair relaxer burned their head aren't just suing -- now they're demanding an urgent recall of the product.
TMZ broke the story ... L'Oréal was sued for selling a celebrity-backed product called SoftSheen-Carson Optimum Amla Legend No-Mix, No-Lye Relaxer -- which the plaintiffs say singed their scalp and made them go bald.
L'Oréal fired back in docs, saying its packaging warns this very danger, and clearly instructs consumers on how to use it safely.
Ben Meiselas and Mark Geragos, who rep the alleged victims, say that's a load of BS ... and add L'Oréal is admitting the product has dangerous chemicals, despite advertising it "protects the scalp and skin."
Geragos' firm says it's downright absurd to blame the women harmed by the product, and they won't relax until the relaxer is completely pulled from the shelves.
A class action suit was filed in September asking for more than $5 mil.

Britney Spears It's Birthday Britney, Bitch
Britney Spears celebrated her 35th birthday with roughly 20 thousand people Friday night, and revamped an old 'do for the occasion.
Spears performed at KIIS FM's Jingle Ball in L.A. -- along with Justin Bieber, Bruno Mars and a bunch of other huge acts -- and her double bun hairstyle made loyal fans nostalgic for that classic, often-imitated, never duplicated "school girl in pigtails" look.
Little messier these days, but still ... cue the track!

Kylie Jenner Makeup Artist Threatens Cosmetic Lawsuit
Kylie Jenner specializes in makeup, so she may want to seriously make up with one woman who's threatening to drop the legal hammer on her for ripping off her photos to promote Kylie's cosmetics line.
A woman named Vlada Haggerty says her Instagram is littered with photos of women striking various poses which accentuate their lips. The pics are striking ... pale women with dark lips and stuff like that.
Vlada and her professional photog claim Kylie has jacked the style of the photos to hawk her wares, and they're threatening a lawsuit. They say the pics are dead ringers for theirs.
Here's the problemo ... there's a whole legal thing that ideas are not legally protected -- just the images -- and Kylie did her own version that may be similar, but as Freud said, "close, but no cigar."
We reached out to Kylie's camp for comment ... so far, no word back.

Marilyn Monroe My Wig's Fit for a Misfit With Cash!!
Marilyn Monroe's blonde wig from her last film, "The Misfits," is about to hit the auction block.
It's the first time in almost 2 decades the mop's been up for grabs. Bidding starts at $10k ... a lot less than the $29.9k it sold for last time around. Heritage Auctions, which is running the show, is counting on $20k minimum.
A lock of Lennon's hair sold for $35k earlier this year ... almost certainly more than MM's fake hair will fetch.
Marilyn's wig has some extras, like 5 ringlets for volume. You also get the original storage box labeled: "United Artists Corporation / The Misfits / Mapes Hotel / Reno, Nevada" and "Hold At Airport For Pick Up" ... so, cool piece of movie history.
Bidding starts Nov. 12.

Colton Haynes Needed Weeks to Bring DDDisheveled Miss Piggy to Life
Colton Haynes went to great lengths -- 2 weeks to be exact -- to pull off botched Miss Piggy.
The "Arrow" star went all out soliciting Bitemares makeup artist Erik Porn -- yup, his real name -- to apply the makeup during a 4-hour sitting. Colton and Erik worked together on "Teen Wolf" and Erik gave him the ultimate hookup.
The final product came together Saturday, but the grunt work started weeks before, when the head, chest and neck were molded. When it was all said and done they turned the sassy 'Muppet' into a plastic surgery nightmare.
The whole thing woulda cost the average Joe at least $5k, but Colton only had to pay for materials.

The Kardashians Makeup Artist Accused of Fat Shaming Kid
-
EXCLUSIVE
- 33 shares
The Kardashians' makeup artist is harassing her fiance's ex-wife and fat shaming his son, according to new legal docs.
Joyce Bonelli -- who flaunts her Kardashian ties on Instagram -- also used her social media to call Beth Taverniti a "handbag hoe" and a "ghetto bitch" ... according to Beth's request for a restraining order.
Beth also took their feud to court because she says Bonelli is bullying the son she has with Ben Taverniti, who's currently engaged to Bonelli. In the docs, Beth says Bonelli sent texts about the 5-year-old ... saying he's 45-60 pounds overweight and "the fat around his neck is getting so thick he doesn't breathe well."
Beth says Joyce has a huge following on social media -- including 1.7 million on IG -- because of her link to the Kardashians, which makes her posts way more humiliating.
Beth's restraining order request was denied, but there's a hearing later this month where she'll try to convince a judge she needs protection.

Fetty Wap Dropping $80k On New Chompers ... Makes Me Smile!
Fetty Wap's latest grill doesn't have a single piece of bling in it, but it's brighter than anything else he's rocked -- as it should be ... since he paid about $4,000 per tooth to get it done!
TMZ has learned Fetty hit up Dr. Mojgan Fajiram of Sutton Advanced Cosmetic Dentistry in NYC recently, looking to score the straightest, whitest looking teeth possible. The doc's office says they hooked Fetty up with 20 porcelain veneers, top and bottom.
Fetty's rep tells us, all told, he was in for $80k once the 2-step process wrapped last week. Not quite a million dollar smile, but he seems satisfied.
