About You
Our Fav Celeb Makeovers

Can bad girls really turn good…? The likes of Britney, Paris, Nicole and Angelina can, so why can’t you? From drugs, drink driving convictions and prison time to sex tapes and quickie marriages, Britney and co have done it all. 

It’s only now we are starting to see the positives outweighing the negatives in regard to our favourite celebs. We take a look at how far they have come and how they can inspire us all to do the same… 

Britney Spears
Brit is the latest celeb trying to clean up her image. Things started to go downhill for her in early 2004 with a shotgun marriage in Vegas which lasted only 55 hours. Within the next few years Brit married K-Fed, had two kids, dumped him and filed for divorce. Since then she fought for custody of her two kids which she subsequently lost, shaved her hair, attacked the paparazzi and had a couple of failed rehab attempts which culminated in an extended stay in a psych ward. 
 
Under close supervision from her father things are now looking up for Brit and a comeback is now inevitable. She recently stopped by a school in the Bronx, NY, to denote USD $10,000 on behalf of Elizabeth Arden and more importantly has regained visiting rights to her kids, with hopes of eventually sharing joint custody with K-Fed.
 
Angelina Jolie
Ange’s humanitarian work and super-mum image is a far cry from the bizarre persona she had before she become a Goodwill Ambassador for the UN Refugee Agency in early 2001. Back then she was more known for her tattoos, wearing vials of blood around her neck and getting it on with her co-stars. These days she is almost goddess-like with her seemingly perfect relationship with Brad Pitt, six kids and her work for numerous charities. 
 
Nicole Richie
Nicole is most famous for being Paris Hilton’s ‘bestie’, but over the years she has had her fair share of headlines. She has been arrested twice and been charged with possession of heroin, driving on a suspended licence and driving under the influence. Since then Nicole has changed her life dramatically; she is now a mother, attends an anti-drunk driver education program and has recently created The Richie Madden Children’s Foundation with her partner Joel to help disadvantaged families.
 
Pris Hilton
It is hard to know what Paris Hilton is more famous for; her sex tape in 2003, or the 22 days she spent in jail in 2007, but she made a post-jail vow to change her life and announced she would be soon visiting Rwanda with a children's charity. She’s no longer showing up in the gossip headlines every morning, which is a relief and a huge sign that she’s changing things up for the better.
 
So if you think you have it bad, all you need to do is look at these celebs to know you can turn your life around at any time, it’s up to you!
