RETNA Wooller looks at who and what are trending up and down around the globe this week.


French Elle magazine: Who would have thought the French would embrace curves. Check out this month's issue to celebrate.

Olympics boycott: If you know of anyone who lives in London, you will also know they are planning on escaping the city pretty soon. Make money from trying to morph into Ange or Brad. If you stick at your exercise regime, you get paid by people who didn't get to the gym. Direct from sunny southern California. Summer loving, indeed.


Swarovski crystal-encrusted Vaseline: Just why on earth would you do this? Why, why, why?

Celebrity death "jokes": Twitter and Facebook jokers really have no heart. From Eddie Murphy to Keanu Reeves being sent to premature graves, enough is enough.

Sneaker heels: They are back and they are as ugly as ever.

L'Oreal: An advert for its anti-wrinkle cream has been banned for being misleading. Shame on you.
