There's no doubt that Gwen Stefani knows a thing or two about makeup so it makes perfect sense that the singer is starting her own line of cosmetics.
Gwen has trademarked the name P8NT, as in "paint," for her line which will include makeup, nail polish, hair color and skin care products. It's not clear when P8NT will be available. Last year, Gwen was named a "global ambassador" for Revlon and appeared in the company's ad campaigns. (TMZ)

Viola Davis is the latest celebrity victim of a home break-in.
The star of How to Get Away With Murder and her husband, Julius Tennon, were asleep in their second floor bedroom when they heard glass breaking. They quickly flipped on the lights and saw three prowlers flee through a broken door. They had apparently used a ladder to climb up to a balcony outside the bedroom. Police say the would-be burglars got away, but they got a pretty good look at them in the home's surveillance footage.

Ace of Cakes star Duff Goldman knows how to make just about anything sweet, and that includes marriage proposals.
The 43-year-old baker proposed to his 24-year-old girlfriend, Johnna Colbry, with a recipe that included a lot of sweet words and a ring made out of butcher's twine. Goldman shared a photo on Instagram of the string ring and wrote, "I woke up yesterday and it felt like any other day. Sun was shining, birds was chirping. I made some coffee, ate a little breakfast, and got in the shower. I was shaving my head when like a mule kick to the heart I realized that I am absolutely in love with Johnna and I can’t imagine living another day without her in my life."
He says he didn't plan it out which is why he wasn't prepared with a real ring. He added, "I hope you don’t mind butcher’s twine, I am a chef, after all."
