2010-03-13T23:37:02Z

Huge news, TWIST girls! Jemi are officially an item, Demi confirmed on The Billy Bush Radio Show yesterday. Check out the revealing convo below -- Demi totally gushed about her BF Joe Jonas, calling him "perfect" and "a complete gentleman!"

First, Billy asked Demi if she'd ever dated a JoBro. Her response? "Umm, maybe..."

"Which one? Joe?" Billy wondered (just like the rest of us!). "Yeah. He's actually... he's my best friend," she replied.

Wanting to know more, Billy asked, "So, you guys went from boyfriend-girlfriend to best friends?"

"No, kind of the opposite," she spilled.

"Oh? So you're dating him now?" he asked.

"Umm, yeah he is my best friend and he is incredible," she opened up.

So, TWIST girls, let's discuss...rumors about a Jemi-romance has been floating around for quite a while, and now it's finally confirmed. So, what do you think about this match -- are they totally soul-mates or better as besties?

Hugs,

Hot Q: Do You Like Guys In Glasses?

2010-03-12T21:51:54Z

Hey Girls,

Have you noticed how some of our fave guys like Joe and Justin have been wearing dark framed glasses lately? Joe sports his frames everywhere from the red carpet to around town! Do guys at your school wear dark framed rims? Do you think they can pull it off?

What do you think of guys in dark framed glasses?

Peace, Love and Style,

Lady Gaga's Fashion Emergency!

2010-03-12T21:39:34Z

Hey TWIST Girls!

We love Lady Gaga's crazy style, but this outfit could have actually been a killer! On a trip back from London to the US, Gaga's too-tight outfit caused her legs to start swelling. Fearing that the singer might be in danger, flight attendants requested she exchange her super-tight dress and high heels for something more comfy. Gaga wasn't too happy about having to ditch her heels. "I would rather die than have my fans not see me in a pair of high heels," says Lady Gaga.

So girls, tell TWIST, Lady Gaga has her heels, but what fashion item/accessory would you never be caught without?

Are you counting down to the day The Runaways hits theaters? Look how pretty Kristen and Dakota looked at the premiere! The film, in theaters March 19, is based on the true story of legendary 1970s rock stars Joan Jett and Cherie Currie in their teenage rock band. Both Kristen and Dakota looked great at the premiere and we can't wait to see them rocking out on screen!

So spill, are you excited to see The Runaways? Do you think Kristen will do as good a job playing Joan Jett as she does playing Bella?

School Bus Slip-Up!

2010-03-12T14:43:12Z

OMG! One TWIST reader has a problem with some slippery stairs!

One day my crush decided to sit with me on the bus on the way to school. We had a great time, and I thought for sure he was gonna ask me out soon. We got to school and I walked down the stairs. It was raining, so everything was wet. I slipped on the last step and fell off the bus! Even worse, my shoe went flying and my foot went right into the mud. When my crush saw what happened, he laughed at me! I was so embarrassed I grabbed my shoe and ran away.

Meet Teen Makeup Artists, Elle and Blair!

2010-03-10T19:12:30Z

Hi Girls!

A couple days ago, I got the amazing opportunity to talk with 21 year old Elle and 16 year old Blair, the youngest makeup artists at Fashion Week! Elle and Blair are huge You Tube sensations because of their makeup tutorials. Check out one of my fave videos and read this exclusive TWIST interview by clicking"read more". The girls talk about beauty, Fashion Week and also tips on how YOU can become a YouTube sensation!

Watch more of Elle and Blair's videos here!

Elle and Blair are famous because of their YouTube makeup vids. What YouTube videos would you make?

Peace, Love and Style,

Emily

]]> TWIST: How did you get into doing makeup?
Elle: I've always been a real girlie-girl and so I was always into makeup and playing with colors. But the summer of 2008, I was bored and came across the YouTube beauty community. I completely fell in love with it and got addicted to watching other girls' beauty videos, so I decided to put up my own.

TWIST: How old were you when you started to wear makeup?
Blair: I was probably in 7th or 8th grade when I started doing my own makeup. Then, sophomore year of high school was when I really started paying attention to how I was doing my makeup.

TWIST: How did you get to be so good at applying makeup?
Elle: Our mom taught us a little bit when we were younger. In 6th grade, she took me to the Clinique counter and the girl did a makeover on me and my mom bought every single product she put on me. That was my first little stash of makeup. I just learned tips from friends. In middle school, everyone is starting to wear makeup and everyone is talking about it. Really recently, I started watching the YouTube videos and that's when I really started to get technique down, just basically by watching other videos and practicing a lot.

TWIST: How did you get involved with Fashion Week?
Blair: It started with the Mini Mortimer fashion show. Mini wanted a makeup artist who was young, to tie it in with her line. She came to Elle and I and asked if we could put a look together. We came up with doing a natural eye with a bold lip because she has young, preppy clothes with a twist, so we drew inspiration with that.

TWIST: She knew about you through your YouTube videos?
Blair: Yeah.
Elle: After we got there, there was a lot of hype surrounding the fact that we were the youngest makeup artists there...so we booked other shows: Clandestine and Haute Hippie. And we were guests at Bebe.

TWIST: What was it like backstage?
Blair and Elle: Oh my gosh!!!
Blair: There are so many people back there! You can't understand how there can be so many people in this one little room. But everyone has a job and they know what they are doing.

TWIST: What celebrity do you think has flawless makeup every time?
Blair: I love how Selena Gomez always has a fresh face. Her makeup is flawless in every picture.
Elle: I love Blake Lively. I think she has a really fresh look to her. I also like Nina Dobrev, from Vampire Diaries. She always looks so good.

TWIST: If you could only give one makeup tip, what would it be?
Blair: Curl your eyelashes, definitely. It opens up your eyes so much.
Elle: I would say get a nude color or white eyeliner and line the inside of the bottom of your rims with eyeliner because it makes the whites of your eyes really big and bright.

TWIST: Do you have tips for girls who want to start to get a following on YouTube like you did with your beauty videos?
Elle: Just start. Film it and put it up. I didn't have a special camera. I filmed straight frm my Mac Book. It's all about confidence and actually taking the initiative to make the videos and putting yourself out there.
Blair: It's also important to make sure it's something you're passionate about. Obviously we do makeup videos, but you have Justin Beiber who is a singer. In the long run, it's putting up more videos to keep your audience there.

The new video picks up where Paparazzi left off, but is said to be bigger, better and crazier than ever, oh, and did we mention nine minutes long! Lady GaGa's unique style, eclectic dancing and exotic costumes are bound to keep you on your toes.

So adjust your DVRs and set your Tivos, because you do not want to miss this. And don't forget to stay tuned for after the premier when GaGa will dish out the videos behind the scenes secrets with Ryan Seacrest.

Did You Watch Gossip Girl Last Night?

2010-03-09T17:15:40Z

Hey Girls,

Last night was the night I'd been looking forward to for so long: the season premiere of Gossip Girl! Did you watch? If not, no worries. I'm about to get you all caught up on all the juicy plot lines. If you missed the first ep and still want to watch it, scroll down to comment and don't read the rest of this post!

Nate and Serena
Woah. These two could not keep their hands off each other! But as we know, nothing is as simple as it seems in the Upper East Side and I'm doubting their new relationship will stay drama-free. It's all a question of what will come between them. Do you like Nate and Serena together or do you think they are better off as friends?

Chuck's Hidden Past
Last season in the finale, Chuck sees a woman at his father's grave who leaves behind a locket. Now, Chuck thinks this woman is his mom! Chuck has always thought his mom died in childbirth and he's having a hard time dealing with all these emotions. Luckily, GF Blair is at his side.

Dan and Vanessa
Vanessa was MIA this episode! Is she avoiding Dan, who just admitted his feelings for her?

Jenny's Acting Up
Jenny seems to be bored with her new social standing and is getting into trouble by hanging out with a bad boy. Ohhhh man.

Which plot line are you looking forward to this season? Did you watch the season premiere last night?

XOXO,

TWIST

Piercing Problems!

2010-03-08T21:13:37Z

OMG! One TWIST reader has an ear piercing problem!

I really wanted to get my ears pierced, but my mom wouldn't let me. Finally, after tons of begging she said yes and took me to a place at the mall. I wasn't ready when they did the first ear and I hadn't realized it was going to hurt so I screamed really loud in pain. The whole mall must have heard me scream! Then I wouldn't let them do the other ear, so I walked around with one earring for a month before I got the courage to get the other one done!

Oscar Face Off: Which Guy Wins Best Dressed?

2010-03-08T15:14:15Z

Hey TWIST readers,

The girls weren't the only ones looking glam last night at the Oscars -- check out Zac and Taylor! Sigh, I love a man in a tux. The Oscars are really conservative and both the guys wore something we've seen them in before, not that we're complaining. They look great! Which look do you like more: Zac's skinny black tie or Taylor's bow tie?

Who rocks a tux the best: Zac or Taylor?

Peace, Love and Style,

Emily
