No respectable star, especially if we’re talking a trendy female fashionista, would ever be seen in public without certain items, such as a well accessorized accessory pet, a bottle of designer vitamin water, or a personal nutritionist nearby, just in case they might have to fight culinary temptation. Still, recession is forcing regular people to put an end to all this flashy and ultimately unnecessary fads, as a new poll conducted by Ask Jeeves and cited by the Daily Mail reveals.

A woman from Detroit, whose identity has not been made public by the police, has just found out the hard way that bras can offer other types of support as well, as hers deflected a bullet during an armed attack, ABC Local informs.
