And if it were only time this new habit of hers was eating up. Amy Winehouse’s father, Mitch Winehouse, is once more worried that the troubled singer has replaced her drug addiction with something probably just as damaging: shoe shopping. This is what Mitch Winehouse related about Amy Winehouse’s new habit: “Amy has blown stupid amounts on shoes, she’s replaced her drug addiction with a shopping addiction. She bought 20 pairs of designer shoes in one afternoon. I returned them all to Selfridges. She’d never wear them, she has two rooms full of un-opened, unworn shoes, it’s ridiculous, such a waste.” This is probably just Amy Winehouse’s way of showing everybody how much she hates the world because Blake Fielder-Civil isn’t coming to Jamaica with her. Well, there’s only one way to deal with a stubborn child… just keep on returning them shoes there daddy.
Actress Gwyneth Paltrow said she will be “forever grateful” to personal trainer Tracy Anderson for “kicking my sagging a** into shape”.
Paltrow, 37, has been working with Anderson for some time and the trainer has leant her tips to the latest edition of the actress’ GOOP newsletter.
Paltrow said: “Many of you may already know of my passion for the Tracy Anderson Method and my investment in it. She has kicked my formerly sagging a** into shape and I will be forever grateful.
“This week, Tracy shares with us a little arm series that I did every day preparing for Iron Man and that I take on the road.”
Supermodel Bar Refaeli doesn’t diet, she has revealed.
The ex-girlfriend of Leonardo DiCaprio said she maintained her figure by looking after herself.
She said: “I don’t diet and I don’t have an eating plan, but I like to eat healthily.
“I don’t deny myself anything and there’s nothing I wouldn’t eat. I like desserts – I like food full-stop but I exercise and I’m young, so everything keeps in check.”
She added to Hello magazine: “I guess every girl has days where she feels good and days where she feels she could lose a couple of pounds and it’s the same for me.
“I’m generally in pretty good shape, but if I have a major shoot or fashion show coming up and I want to look my best, then I’ll spend a little extra time working out or I will stick to eating salads and chicken for a few days.
“I would never go on some crazy fad diet or eat anything weird to get thinner – it’s just not good for your body.”
Antwone Fisher star Joy Bryant is reportedly a fan of Kundalini yoga and says it is a “great” workout for the mind and body.
Bryant, 31, is a strict vegetarian and she reportedly said that she does the yoga for the meditation and the physical benefits.
The actress was awarded a full academic scholarship to the prestigious Yale University and has recently joined the cast of the NBC show Parenthood.
Acclaimed Hindu statesman Rajan Zed has invited other Hollywood stars to explore Kundalini and other forms of yoga. He referred to it as a “living fossil”, which is both a mental and physical discipline.
Hollywood actress Jessica Biel has admitted she only eats half a meal and then sends the rest back.
The 27-year-old, who is dating singer Justin Timberlake, made the revelation as she was asked about how she keeps fit.
She said: “You have to find a balance, especially with what you eat. I don’t live by the idea that you can’t allow yourself a treat.”
“I say: ‘Eat things you like, but eat them in smaller portions.’ I always cut things in half and send half back. I’m not perfect, I don’t always do those things, but that’s the goal! If there’s something I want to try, then I try it. But I have a bite, not the whole thing. That’s what you have to do.”
The new Sugababes singer is apparently doing her best to gain as much weight as possible. Amelle Berrabah had the following progress to report: “I’ve put on 6lbs since being in Los Angeles last month, recording our seventh album. I’m a size 8 now, but I’m determined to put on more weight.” Well, this is definitely new… and it will be a real treat to see if Amelle Berrabah doesn’t overdo this. But even so, the process is always reversibile… only it’s always a lot harder to reverse it, but Amelle Berrabah is most likely not lacking in ambition… after all, what true artist is?
The producers of hit TV show Gossip Girl are said to be furious at star Ed Westwick for gaining weight.
The actor, who plays heartthrob Chuck Bass, has reportedly piled on so many pounds in recent months that the wardrobe department has even had to buy new clothes to fit his expanding waistline, it has been claimed.
A source said: "Ed has been gaining a lot of weight – not just around the waist, but through the whole body. It even shows in his face."
An insider told a US magazine: "First, the costume department had to buy him new, bigger pants [trousers]. Then, his shirts and jackets got way too snug. The costumers even requested that the producers talk to Ed – they don’t want Chuck to be fat."
A representative for the English-born actor, 21, was unavailable for comment.
Scarlett Johansson got irked over reports that she has undertaken an extreme regimen for her upcoming role in Iron Man 2. Scarlett Johansson is already in shape and she need not resort to drastic weight changes to get in shape for her role which would require her to be outfitted in the Black Widow superhero costume—and that would mean either slinky or skin-fitting. A lot of reports came out about her drastic weight regimen allowing her to lose 14 pounds.
Scarlett Johansson however said she is a petite 5′3” and losing 14 pounds drastically would mean having to part ways with both arms–even a foot. She said it is frustrating to read about the utter irresponsibility of the tabloid media who dictate how people should look and how to get there. Scarlett Johansson said she has always publicly advocated for a healthy body image and it is ludicrous to accuse her of going on a crash diet or even a miracle workout to lose that amount of weight. She said this is reckless and dangerous reporting at this time when people should promote healthy eating.
The star recently admitted that her exercise routine is based solely upon the electronic miracle. Kelly Osbourne said: “I have a terrible diet. Last night, I was eating Domino’s pizza because I had nothing in my fridge and I couldn’t be assed to go to the grocery store. I don’t really work out either. I play on my Wii machine – I love the Wii Fit!” Based upon her very profound and revelatory words, I would assume that Kelly Osbourne is one of those people that uses the automatic stairs in order to climb up to the gym. I mean come on! She’d play Wii Fit in order to have exercise, but can’t bother herself to go to a nearby grocery store in order to get something seemingly healthy to eat? Now that’s logic for you!
The actress for “The O.C.” has recently denied any rumors of problems in her health due to her drastic weight loss. Here’s what Mischa Barton wrote on her blog: “Just so you guys know, I’m happier and healthier than ever. Things are really well in Mischa world and I’ve just been watching what I eat. I still love my Pilates and yoga, and have cut back on fatty foods a bit. My time in India and Paris really just helped me lose a little bit of weight but there’s nothing drastic going on.” If things are well in Mischa world, then it seriously need a change of government… I mean just look at her! Mischa Barton is one step away from disintegrating. Still, that doesn’t seem to stop her from keeping a close eye on her diet. Get some protein, for Christ’s sakes! If Mischa Barton just disappears all of a sudden, then we should feel no amount of surprise.
Jessica Simpson has been the target of insults and a lot of mud slinging lately due to her ballooning weight but she is holding her ground and saying no to a fre lifetime membership to Hollywood Weight Loss Spa. The offer, which includes personal consultations with trainers and doctors, is well worth $21,600 annually. A lot of people, mostly celebrities, have defended Jessica Simpson from the criticism hurled against her saying she looks great and her body is just right. Ashlee Simpson defended her sister saying it is sad to note that the press is giving too much attention on her sister’s body as it is sending a wrong message to young people.
Just like every normal woman, Jessica Simpson has been experiencing weight fluctuations but friends say it is normal for her to become comfortable with her body when she is happy and in love. Apparently, Jessica Simpson and boyfriend Tony Romo are spending a lot of together time in Texas and this has resulted to a change in her eating habits. Well, knowing that in-hosue doctor Ken Best has already designed a program for her might change Jessica Simpson’s mind about availing of the free weight loss services.
Actress Freida Pinto who has found international success with the film Slumdog Millionaire has never found the same success in her native India because her boobs weren’t big enough and is considered by most as too skinny.
While speaking to the Complex magazine the actress says, “We have the voluptuous, full-figured woman thing. People say I need to get a boob job, but I’m just comfortable the way I am.”
Why are women typecast in every corner of the world, in the West big butts are a complete taboo and are voluptuous bodies while (like the actress says) in India they want full-figured woman. That is really a loss for Indian television and a gain for western world.
She’s completely fine and beautiful the way she is and if she is happy with her appearance then that’s how people should except her.
Actress Gwyneth Paltrow has taken a dig at all those critics who have said her healthy living website is not good and is adamant that her tips are extremely valuable. Paltrow’s site GOOP.com is a place where the actress offers lifestyle lessons on subjects such as health, cookery & travel.
In her response to the criticism for her sites users who claim that the site is no more better than being the actress vanity project ’s Gwyneth says, “People get a hit of energy when they are negative and it is very detrimental for them. They do not understand why they do not have a happy life. That kind of stuff is just noise to me. I feel sorry for them.”
I did check out her website and felt the “GO” segment read like ads for her favorite New York City restaurants, with links to them and all. She does offer some nice health and exercise tips, but nothing we don’t already know.
Harry Potter’s Hermione Granger slammed super skinny celebrities saying they are not only ugly but are also poor role models. The slender 18-year old British beauty said skinny people do not inspire her at all claiming her body shape to be genetic and not a product of any eating disorder, fad diets or any conscious effort on her part. She said she is lucky getting this size but said she is does not dream of being super skinny as she doe snot find that body shape attractive at all. Watson admitted that even if she wanted to be reed-thin she would never achieve that because she loves everything about food including cooking and eating them.
The Harry Potter series made has made Watson a millionaire ten times over and has brought her awards. She will be seen as a more grown up Hermione in the “Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince” in 2009. She will also be included in the two-part “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows”. However, it is not only Harry Potter that’s keeping her busy these days because she was also seen last year in “The Tale of Despereaux”.
The actress has recently engaged in a most ambitious plan to rid herself of the extra pounds she gained during the holidays. She had this to say about her endeavor: I need to lose a few pounds of holiday excess. I will be suffering along with you to kickstart my year a bit lighter – good luck to us all! You can detox easily and effectively while you continue to eat as long as you are cutting out the foods and other substances that interfere with the detoxification process.” What I don’t get from all of this is why she has to call it “detox”. It’s not like her holidays were spent through rituals of sacrificing good health for a better future by ingesting toxic substances in an attempt to please the Gods. I mean seriously, how much could she have smoked or drank?
Britney latest performance showed a lean and mean body which means she has finally attained her pre-pregnancy body but is she doing it the safe way? Her diet seems to be in question because of reports that she has resorted to taking laxatives, binging on food and then vomiting them after meals.
Sexy figure was evident during her “Womanizer” number during the Bambi Awards in Germany. She attributes her new body to healthy eating habits and exercise but is she really experiencing an eating disorder with a diet consisting of Taco Bell and Red Bull?
Britney Spears is reportedly prone to throwing up after eating whether she is at home or in a public place like a restaurant giving rise to suspicions that she is suffering from Bulimia. Other say her condition is bulimarexia since she starves herself, binges and then throws up.
Actresses work out hard to keep their body slim and smart but the beautiful and stunning Gossip Girl star Taylor Momsen is such a lucky little girl that she is “Naturally Thin”.
When the actress was asked by her whether she feels uncomfortable in her skinny frame, she replied, “Not at all! I mean, I’m just kind of naturally thin. My mom’s really thin, and I’m tall. Good genes.”
The 15-year-old actress emphasized that she does not work out. She said, “I just eat healthy. I walk a lot because I live in New York. So I try to walk a lot instead of taking cabs.”
I think that being naturally thin is not a problem but Taylor Momsen is scary skinny.
If she wants to get more work in the industry then she will have to grow some flesh on at least some parts.
The lovely Brittany Snow has the right idea about things. She says she’s not going to diet and she isn’t going to hire her personal trainer anymore.
Brittany says, “I refuse to do the whole diet, fitness, style thing anymore. I just kind of go and have fun. I know what I like, I know what makes me feel good, and that’s just what I do.”
She has been upfront about the fact that she had anorexia, exercise bulimia, depression, and body dysmorphic disorder as a teen. She was even down to a measly 85 pounds at one point. Now Brittany just wants to be happy. She says, “I go to the gym everyday, I eat really well, I buy dresses by myself, I want to work and be with my friends. That’s all I really care about.”
…about Angelina Jolie and her expected twins. The two were set to appear on The Today Show to talk about their new movie Kung Fu Panda, but instead they dished about Angelina’s babies and her due date.
Jack says it was his wife’s fault. Just before heading out, she told him, “Oh yeah, Angelina’s expecting twins.” He thought it was already confirmed news and didn’t realize it was only rumor at that point.
So, he brought it up. At that point, what could Angelina do but confirm? Wow, how many kids does that make?
