Tracy Anderson

Ever lusted after Gwyneth Paltrow's sleek blow-dry? Well, you're in luck, as the actress is planning to open a blow-dry bar as her latest beauty endeavour. Gwyneth will be collaborating with trainer Tracy Anderson and hairstylist David Babaii to open an exclusive salon in April. The David Babaii Blow Dry Bar will nested within Tracy Anderson's Brentwood studio in LA, so it's a members-only experience. But clients will be able to get a blow-dry post-workout or just a simple style that is sweat-resistant. Gwyneth has been on a roll in the beauty arena with a Max Factor spokeswoman slot, a Hugo Boss fragrance deal, and her lacquer collaboration with Goop and Butter London. Makeup, fragrance, nails, and now hair — Gwyneth is well on her way to amassing a beauty empire.

Nicole Richie was the centre of attention last night at NYC's Bergdorf Goodman, where she hosted a small party in honour of her Spring/Summer 2011 House of Harlow and Winter Kate lines. Her trip to the Big Apple was a quick one and won't leave her much time for Fashion Week fun, as she was only scheduled to attend the bash and a tutorial for the store's employees today. Nicole's pals like Charlotte Ronson and Jonathan Cheban were among those who turned out to support her design efforts, along with her fitness buddy Tracy Anderson. Tracy's in the city for just a few days herself, as she's heading to the West Coast soon to intensely work with Gwyneth Paltrow ahead of Sunday's Grammys. In addition to chatting about her famous clients like Jake Gyllenhaal and Ashley Greene Tracy revealed that Nicole is a great pupil and they actually have a little project in the works. Tracy said, "It's going amazing, because she is an unbelievable dancer. We actually have a little surprise that we're going to release here soon . . . a little Tracy Anderson/Nicole Richie collaboration!" Nicole didn't show off her famous moves yesterday, though, as she tweeted before bed, "Wow, what a night! Thank you Bergdorfs! I know this city never sleeps, but I do. Goodnight!"

Gwyneth Paltrow showed some leg last night at the Bent on Learning benefit in NYC. It was Gwyneth's second year in a row attending the philanthropic event and this time she took a special trip to make it—Gwynnie had been in LA promoting Iron Man 2 with a press conference and big premiere. The woman behind Gwyneth's impressive pins, Tracy Anderson, also hit the red carpet, while Madonna and her daughter Lourdes' late arrival actually stunned the usually loud photographers into silence. Tracy stopped training Madonna to focus on Gwyneth, and their split was rumoured to have possibly caused drama between Gwyneth and Madonna. They all seemed to get along just fine last night, though, to celebrate the fitness-minded charity that offers yoga and meditation to public school students in NYC.
