Fish Pedicures Could Cause Wound Infections!

Eeewwwwww. Plus… poor fishies!

In 2008, pedicures using inch-long, toothless Garra ruffa fish soared in popularity throughout the UK and US. The 'doctor' fish would softly nibble all the dead, nastiness off of participant's feet, leaving soft, new skin behind.

BUT according to a recent study conducted by the U.K.’s Centre for Environment, Fisheries & Aquaculture Science and published by the US Center For Disease Control, using fish for the above beauty purpose is not only potentially harmful for humans, but also elicits concern for the humane treatment of animals.

Rachel Weisz's L'Oréal Paris Ad Banned In The UK

Filed Under: Anglophilia Photoshop Awardz Ad Campaigns Rachel Weisz

Rachel Weisz looks gorgeous for being 41-years-old, but her new ad for L'Oréal Paris has her appearing almost 20 years younger.

In fact, the UK’s Advertising Standards Authority has banned her new ad for Revitalift Clinical Repair 10.

Apparently, the execs over the pond find the ad too misleading.

They have a point there. Do people really believe an over-the-counter cream will remove so many wrinkles?

A rep for the ASA reveals:

More Fashion Ads Banned From The UK

Filed Under: Anglophilia Fashion Smashion Models Ad Campaigns

The British Advertising Standards Authority is at it again. Just this week we told you the agency banned the Marc Jacobs fragrance ads for Oh Lola! featuring the lovely Dakota Fanning.

Those ad apparently depicted Miz Fanning appearing too young with a large perfume bottle between her legs which was considered to be “sexualizing of a child”.

Now they’ve gone and banned ads from British clothing line, Drop Deap, calling them “socially irresponsible” for featuring a model they deem too thin. According to their statement:

Peaches Geldof Caught Stealing! No Police Report Was Filed!

Filed Under: Anglophilia Busted! Peaches Geldof

We’re not sure why rich celebs feel the need to steal, but Peaches Geldof is at it again!

The British socialite and model was caught shoplifting makeup this past Friday from a branch of Boots the Chemists.

The 22-year-old was spotted by undercover security placing over $100 worth of makeup into her pockets and bags before heading out of the store.

She was caught by security as she tried to leave and taken to a back room where she handed over the stolen goodies. And while most would have called the police to report the incident, Peaches was let go.

A customer who was at the store when it all went down, reveals:
