MTV Awards shows are always the place to try out unorthodox fashion (and in some cases, unorthodox behavior). Last night’s European Music Awards were no exception, but Nelly Furtado’s arms really caught our eye and got us scratching our heads. The sultry Canadian singer paired her slinky satin gown with airbrushed faux-tattoos of flames going up and down her arms. Nelly’s rep tells us she wanted to “look like a Goddess with all the pyro-tech in her performance and white flowing dress.” Tell us: what do you think of Nelly’s out-there accessory? Is this super-hot or a burn-out?

This week’s issue of PEOPLE magazine features a story about 12-year old Brooke Bates, who made a shocking decision to undergo liposuction surgery after struggling with being overweight her whole life. Brooke’s choice — and the circumstances that led her parents and their doctor to support her in this decision — is a moving one that is sure to stir some debate. At 220 lbs before the operation, she is now a happier and healthier young lady. Her blood pressure is down, and she is sticking to a strict diet and regular exercise routine. Current weight: 155 lbs. Click here to read Brooke’s story in full, and then come back here to share your thoughts.

Just like with clothes, shoes or bags, stars have makeup products that they come back to over and over again. For Jennifer Lopez (left), she can’t get enough of her nude Nars Belle du Jour lipstick.
