Star of HBO’s Entourage, Emmanuelle Chriqui will help Braun launch a women’s movement for well-groomed men, called the “bodycruZade”, the world’s first all-in-one body groomer featuring Gillette Fusion shaving technology.
Just how would Chriqui help a campaign for grooming for men?
Recent Gillette surveys on male body grooming revealed that only one-third of men age 24-34 shave, wax or trim below the neck but that 57 percent of men would change their body grooming habits if they received a negative reaction from their sexual partner.
The survey also said that 63 per cent of American women are turned on by a well groomed chest. Okay, I can take it. And 69 per cent said one of the best reasons to bodygroom is to appear more attractive to a potential partner. And over 50 per cent said they felt most comfortable seeking body grooming advice from their significant other.
Chriqui, 32, will feature in an online video introducing the bodycruZade movement. Also, the Braun bodycruZade Web site features a customizable video that allows women to send a message to their favorite guy praising his body grooming habits to reinforce the positive reactions a well-groomed man receives when he grooms below the neck.
Last word from Emmanuelle? She’s asking women to check out bodycruZade.com.
Sounds like fun. Zoom in on this product line image from bodycruZade:

While that could be a problem most of us may be happy to live with, apparently not so for Jessica Biel, as she confesses in the June issue of Allure, hitting newsstands May 26.
The 27-year-old ‘Easy Virtue’ actress says she misses out on roles to Natalie Portman or Scarlett Johansson just because she doesn’t get an audition… just cuz directors find her look to be too modern.
“I just want an opportunity,” she states in Allure’s June issue. “If you don’t like the audition, then don’t hire me! But if you don’t want to even see me — that’s hurtful.” Find out what else Jessica has to say about her looks, marriage, and living life under a microscope.
Is being too good-looking really a problem for an actress?
“Yeah, it really is a problem. I have to be blunt.”
But even if Jessica is dating Justin Timberlake and says she has no idea if she has no idea if she wants to get married, there’s still hope for the rest of us mere mortals… the antique emerald ring she wears is not really from Justin. “I bought that ring for myself,” says Jessica. Sigh…

Slumdog Millionaire star Freida Pinto’s fame continues to skyrocket even after the Oscars — besides joining Woody Allen’s new flick, she’s also landed the role of being cosmetic giant Estee Lauder’s new spokesperson.
Some of us may be in the process of getting just a bit sick and tired of hearing the name ‘Slumdog Millionaire’, but apparently Estee Lauder is not.
Pinto, 24, recently was chosen to become Lauder’s first Asian spokesperson in deal reportedly worth $28,000 to the starlet.
The Mumbai-born actress and former model will now follow in the footsteps of Liz Hurley and Gwyneth Paltrow.
In the new Woody Allen film, Pinto will star alongside Scarlett Johansson, Anthony Hopkins and Antonio Banderas, with the shooting likely to begin in London this July.
