A British woman who has been unemployed for two years said her "good looks" are to blame for her lack of employment. Laura Fernee, said she worked at a medical research lab until 2011 when she quit because comments about her attractive appearance became too much for her to handle. She told reporters, "I'm not lazy and I'm no bimbo. The truth is my good looks have caused massive problems for me when it comes to employment, so I've made the decision that employment just isn't for me at the moment. It's not my fault...I can't help the way I look." She added, "In the end, as much as I loved my work, going in to work became very, very difficult because of the psychological impact on me... I know people will judge me for choosing not to work but they are underestimating just what a curse good looks can be in the workplace. Everyone thinks it must be great to be attractive but there are serious downsides." (DailyMail.co.uk)

CHRISTINA AGUILERA'S NEW BODY CONTINUES TO WOW FANS!
Pop star Christina Aguilera was a big hit at Sunday night's Billboard Music Awards but it wasn't just for her duet with Pitbull. It was actually Aguilera's slender physique in a simple black dress. This wasn't the first time that Aguilera has showed off her new look as she tweeted a photo in a black bra and matching pencil skirt last week.
A source close to Aguilera told E! News that the singer has taken a healthy approach to achieving her new physique. She explained, "She's making herself a priority, trying new exercises and trying things she loves and enjoys rather than stuff to just 'lose weight.' This is really from the inside out." Aguilera will be back on The Voice this fall to resume her coaching duties.
