Janet Jackson: People Relate to Weight Problems
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Health & Beauty,
Janet Jackson believes her weight struggles make her relatable. The 45-year-old self-confessed "emotional eater" has had a life-long battle with her waistline, and tipped the scales at 180lbs in 2006. Having joined the Nutrisystem diet program late last year, Janet has achieved the body she always dreamed of and hopes her journey will inspire others.
"People can relate to me because I have lived it. I truly understand what it's like to have a problem with weight loss, losing too much weight or gaining more than you desire. It's about keeping it off. We can all lose weight, but learning how to keep it off - maintaining it - is what's difficult. Nutrisystem teaches you how to do that," she said.
Janet has yet to reveal the exact amount of weight she has lost, but says she still has all the treats she desires on the food plan: "The snacks are incredible. The cookies, the cakes, the brownies - I love the chips! You don't have to deprive yourself of things that you love, and that's what's so great about Nutrisystem. I eat the some of these things and you think to yourself, 'Oh, I shouldn't be having this,' because it's so good!"

Elle Macpherson Keeps Active Everywhere
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Health & Beauty, Models,
Elle Macpherson takes her running shoes everywhere. The 47-year-old supermodel does at least 60 minutes exercise every day, and while she likes to vary her fitness routine, she always tries to be prepared so she can fit physical activity in wherever she is in the world.
"I do an hour every day of some kind of physical activity. I mix it up. If I'm in the mountains I ski, if I'm near water I'll swim. I might do a yoga or Spin class. I also take my running shoes and iPod with me wherever I go. Running is not only a really effective way to stay fit, it's a sort of moving meditation and a great way to explore new towns when I'm traveling."
Despite working hard to maintain a trim physique, Elle - who has sons Flynn, 14, and nine-year-old Cy with former boyfriend Arpad Busson - knows she will never look the way she did when she first began her career but insists her motivation for working out now is very different to when she was younger.

Kristen Stewart Puts Robert Pattinson on a Diet?
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Dating, Rumors,
Kristen Stewart has reportedly put boyfriend Robert Pattinson on a diet. The 22-year-old actress - who also plays Robert's on-screen lover in the Twilight franchise - has apparently ordered him to hit the gym and lose some of the weight he's gained during his time off.
"Robert's put on nearly 10lbs eating cheeseburgers and drinking beer while he's not been working. Kristen's told him to pull himself together. He hates the gym, so she's encouraged him to take up paddle surfing to try and work off the excess calories," a source said.
However, he has previously admitted to living in fear of shirtless scenes, especially when they involve his buff Twilight co-star Taylor Lautner: "I'd have to make a lifestyle change if I wanted to do shirtless acting. But it seems like every single actor in the world is doing a 'Taylor Lautner' scene - it's crazy. They have a scene where they walk out with like a 12-pack. It's like, 'Really? You're playing a normal guy! That doesn't make any sense.' But that's a prerequisite of being an actor. Or you can get fat!"
Lauren Conrad Prefers the Natural Look
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Health & Beauty,
Lauren Conrad wouldn't have cosmetic surgery.
The 26-year-old fashion designer - who rose to fame on TV series Laguna Beach - admits she would be unlikely to go under the knife because she prefers to look "natural."
"Personally, I have always preferred a more natural look. That is what is more attractive to me, but it's up to each person. As long as you are doing it for you, because you want to look nice and that's the result you are going for, then that's fine."
However Lauren - who has now written her first book The Fame Game - admits she does feel under pressure to always look her best because she is always in the spotlight: "There is always pressure to work out a little harder when all eyes are on you. I don't think I ever felt the pressure as much as some people, but it was definitely at the back of my mind."

Kim Kardashian will always work hard to make sure her body is in its best shape.
The reality TV star is famed for her curvy and sexy figure, but says if she wasn't feeling comfortable with the way she looked, she would do something to change it.
"If I don't feel confident about my body, I'm not going to sit at home and feel sorry for myself and not to do something about it. It's all about taking action and not being lazy. So you do the work, whether it's fitness or whatever. It's all about getting up, motivating yourself and just doing it."
Kim also said her self confidence has improved with age and she is a lot more comfortable with her looks. "I didn't always have a lot of confidence - especially early on. As a teenager, and even in college, it was always my sisters that were the confident ones. But as I've got older, my confidence has definitely grown and I like the person I am today because of that. I get a lot of my confidence from my sisters," the 31-year-old beauty told Britain's Cosmopolitan."

Accompanying the picture was a Tweet which read, "Have a beautiful day!" Perhaps Gaga was trying to inspire her fans - who she calls her "little monsters" - by showing them they should always be proud of themselves.

Jennifer Aniston: Beauty Cost Claims are Exaggerated
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Health & Beauty, Rumors,
Jennifer Aniston insists claims she spends $8,000 a month on beauty regime are "greatly exaggerated."
The 43-year-old former Friends actress was reported to invest a massive $96,000 a year in looking good. According to website Shine, Jennifer splurges $900 a week on private yoga sessions, and subscribes to a $350 a week home delivery food service. On top of that, the report also claims she forks out $450 for a neck ointment by Euoko, and $450 on regular Tracie Martyn facials amongst numerous other expensive products and treatments.
But while she admits she loves a good beauty product as much as the next woman, she insists her regime costs her no where near as much.
"Although I am a sucker for an amazing moisturizer, love a great facial, have been using the same cleansing bar since I was a teenager and have always been a dedicated tooth-brusher, reports that I am spending eight thousand a month on a beauty regime are greatly exaggerated. By my tally, this month I'm in for about $200," she told People.
Adele ‘Wants to Lose Weight’
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Rumors,
Adele reportedly wants to lose weight.
The "Someone Like You" hitmaker has apparently embarked on a fitness regime in a bid to drop two dress sizes before the summer. Having shed several pounds after undergoing surgery on her vocal chords last year, Adele has also quit smoking and is said to been keen to continue her good work.
"Adele has found so much more energy now she's quit smoking. She really wants to get healthier, now that she's half-way there. She had always been curious about taking up Pilates but until recently there just hadn't been any time," a source said.
Last month fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld came under fire after branding Adele a "little too fat," but the 23-year-old singer insists she would never lose weight for anyone other than herself: "'I've never wanted to look like models on the cover of magazines. I represent the majority of women and I'm very proud of that. I'd lose weight if I was an actress and had to play a role where you're supposed to be 40lbs lighter, but weight has nothing to do with my career. Even when I was signing [a contract], most of the industry knew if anyone ever dared say [lose weight] to me, they wouldn't be working with me."
Rihanna Wants ‘Disappearing Butt’ Back
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music,
Rihanna wants to get her "disappearing butt" back.
The "Rude Boy" hitmaker explained while her rear used to be her "favorite" part of her body, she is having to work hard on getting it back and is "eating everything" in the hope of restoring her bottom to its former voluptuous glory.
"I'm working on getting my butt back. It used to be my favorite body part, but now it's disappeared! I'm eating everything. I've been eating ice cream and fast food and Italian food," she said.
Meanwhile, the singer is planning on undertaking a whole host of activities that "firm the butt."
"I'm going to have to start hiking or at least going on the elliptical or walking on an incremental treadmill or horseback riding. Something that firms the butt," she added.
Rihanna's recent weight loss came after her father, Ronald Fenty, told her to shed a few pounds because she was getting "too fat."
