Can't finish that glass of red wine? Actress Teri Hatcher suggests you pour it into your bathtub not down the sink. Hatcher uses the antioxidant properties in wine to keep her skin glowing. "When you're alone you open a bottle of wine and then it's not really good after four or five days.

The fresh-faced 46-year-old described in detail the unusual cleansing technique, in which she placed the leech on her belly button and watched it "swell up and get fatter and fatter." She continued, "then when it's super drunk on your blood it just kind of rolls over like it is stumbling out of the bar."
