Hilary Duff Regrets Her Skinny Phase
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Health & Beauty, News, Rumors,
Hilary Duff regrets how thin she allowed herself to get when she was a teenager. The singer and actress paid too much attention to what other people thought of her appearance when she was younger and forced herself to keep to a strict diet of steamed vegetables and grilled chicken, even though she knew she was too thin.
"I got pretty skinny when I was between 17 and 19. At the time I was starting to become aware of what people said about me and how I looked in pictures. I regret it because I don't think I was happy then," she told Health magazine.
Hilary, now 23, said she was going through a difficult period at the time - dealing with her break-up from then boyfriend rocker Joel Madden - but eventually her now-husband, ice hockey player Mike Comrie, helped get her back on track. "It really helps to have a partner that loves everything about you and makes you feel really beautiful."

Renee Zellweger Swears By Carolina Herrera
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Health & Beauty,
A-list actress Renee Zellweger always chooses gowns by the same designer for red carpet events.
The Oscar-winning actress admits that when it comes to big events, she always goes to Carolina Herrera, as she trusts the “classic” tailoring of the Venezuelan-born fashion designer.
“It’s classic. It’s beautifully tailored. No surprises.”
However, the 41-year-old star revealed she doesn’t select pieces by Carolina Herrera only for their aesthetic charm, but because she would feel too guilty if she had a whole host of designers creating pieces she would never end up wearing: “I can’t have 90 people making things for me that I might not wear. To have so many people expend so much effort potentially for nothing - I wouldn’t sleep at night.”
The slim star - who in the past has been known to stick to a strict macrobiotic diet of fish and vegetables - has reportedly put on 10lbs in recent months after boyfriend Bradley Cooper told her he likes women with “a little more meat on their bones.”
“She banned dairy a long time ago but Bradley loves ice cream and cheese and Renee’s started to join in. Potatoes are back on the menu, too. Bradley’s convinced her to loosen up and she’s loving it. Bradley’s been very vocal in telling her he’s more attracted to women with a little meat on their bones and Renee’s doing her best to oblige him.”
Elizabeth Hurley Reveals More Controversial Dieting Techniques
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Health & Beauty, Models, News,
Want to look like Elizabeth Hurley? The model-turned-actress claims that not eating breakfast keeps her slim.
The 45-year-old beauty has confessed she starts the day with mugs of hot water, followed later by a snack of oat cakes and an occasional espresso. After returning from holiday in France, she Tweeted, “My diet survived the onslaught of phenomenal vacation food-doctors disagree, but I swear by almost nothing for breakfast for adults. Mugs of hot water first thing, maybe an espresso and a few oat cakes mid morning.”
Earlier she had posted, “Another workout in the gym with the Australian and an awful lot of hot water. Sick of it now.”
Elizabeth, who is married to businessman Arun Nayar and has eight-year-old son Damian from a previous relationship, has been blasted by nutrition experts for her admission. “If you think that some hot water and a coffee is all you need to look like Liz Hurley, then I’m afraid you are wrong. This is not the breakfast that I would recommend to people with regular lives. First thing in the morning your body has not had any food or fuel all night and needs something to kick-start your day. The coffee will give you a kick but you will be relying on your body’s reserves and by mid-morning you would be more likely to snack on something unhealthy like a muffin,” said leading nutritionist Carina Norris.

Jennifer Love Hewitt would love to have Gisele Bundchen‘s body.
The Ghost Whisperer actress says she is still in the process of achieving her ideal figure after piling on some pounds in late 2007, and while she doesn’t want to get too thin she knows she still has a little way to go.
“I think I’m a work in progress. But I feel it’s so much better than it was a year-and-a-half ago, and I feel like in another eight months, it’s going to be so much better than it is today. I’d want to have Gisele Bundchen’s body. Even though she’s tall and skinny, she does have curves and I think that’s hot. Halle Berry also is kind of amazing.”

Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Fashion Shows, Health & Beauty, Models, News, Rumors,
—Designer and Britain’s Next Top Model judge Julien MacDonald recently said that having a plus-size model win “makes it a joke.” Perhaps fellow British designer Mark Fast should give him some counsel, considering he was widely praised for using plus-size models in his Spring/Sumer 2010 show last year.
—Supermodel Adriana Lima poses for Brazil’s HOLA! magazine with her husband Marko Jaric and their new baby Valentina. Looks like she’s training her to model already!
—Eclipse actress Ashley Greene gives into her cravings and claims that she doesn’t diet. As if we needed another reason to be jealous of her…
—Although plus-size models have been making their mark at current shows, normal people made a splash at Sao Paulo Fashion Week when they appeared on the Do Estilista runway. Despite their varying physiques, it was obvious that regular, non-models do know how to own a catwalk.

Ellen DeGeneres’ Vegan Figure
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Health & Beauty, News,
Ellen DeGeneres credits her figure to her vegan diet.
The 52-year-old television presenter admits her youthful looks and toned physique are thanks to her long-time decision to not eat meat and avoid sugar.
“No cake, no cookies, no candy. No animals, no diary, nothing processed; a lot of soup, veggies, rice, beans, legumes. I want to be on my toes; I want to have energy. And as much as the diet seems like a sacrifice, it’s helping me.”
Ellen - who is the face of cosmetic firm CoverGirl - also says her figure comes thanks to an extreme version of yoga. She told Shape, “I first started doing power yoga in Los Angeles, which really makes no sense. It’s the opposite of what it should be. Yoga should calm down you.”
However, Ellen admits she has a tough time balancing her busy career and a healthy lifestyle: “It’s hard. But you have to make time to take care of yourself.” Although she is a fan of exercise, she has previously joked about the vibrating muscle workout trainer Shake Weight. She said, “I was playing with it yesterday. And I have to say it really works. This is working out muscles I have never worked out in my whole life.”
