Kerry Washington Lives Life to the "Fullest"

Actress Kerry Washington (who most recently starred in The Last King Of Scotland) recently revealed to People magazine that she'd prefer to live life to the fullest rather than restrict herself on a diet.

"In general in life I try to live it, not diet," the actress told People. "I think that's hard when you're restricting a lot. So I try to take it easy on a daily basis and do what's going to make me feel good.
"I love to exercise. I generally exercise every day. I watch what I eat, I do. My body is really sensitive, so I'm very conscious of what I put in my mouth. I try for the most part to eat things that are going to make me feel better, not worse."

Cameron Says Going Under The Knife Is "Sick"

Cameron Diaz has recently claimed that she would never have plastic surgery because it is "sick".

Diaz is quoted by Britain's Daily Express newspaper as saying: "Have you seen those shows where ordinary people want to look like Britney Spears or Brad Pitt? What on earth possesses them to want to destroy their own character? To go under the knife to do that, well, it's sick."

The actress had an operation on her nose last year to correct a deviated septum, but claims she would never have surgery for purely cosmetic reasons.

"I would never have anything done. I think beauty comes from the inside. When I see women who have had plastic surgery I find it unnerving. All I can see is the surgery. The person who has had it has vanished. I don't want to look like that."

Kylie Loves Her "Black Butt"

Kylie Minogue recently declared her love for her body in Cannes last week.

"Look at my butt. I've got a great black girl's butt, kinda like Beyonce and J-Lo. I may be from Australia, but I think I must have some blackness in me. You'll never hear me wishing I had a smaller butt. The bigger the better," Minogue was quoted as saying by the UK's Mirror. "I love having curves - forget these skinny girls. I love feeling feminine and womanly - being curvy in all the right places is part of that."

Tobey Maguire In Spiderman Shape

Tobey maguire spoke to Elle magazine recently about his efforts to get back into shape to film Spiderman 3.

Tobey said it took him six months to get back into Spidey form after having taken a break from counting calories once they were finishing shooting Spiderman 2.

"I was like, 'Give me doughnuts...' I was eating lots of sugar, and I was out of shape. I guess that went on for a little over six months."
"I felt so much better once I got a handle on it... It took six months to correct what I'd done to my body."

Little Nicole Gets Her Nails Did

Here are some recent pics of Nicole Richie leaving a salon after having a manicure and pedicure.

Could Nicole possibly look more like a little girl in these photos?

Mary-Kate Olsen, Healthier?

Mary-Kate was photographed out and about on the weekend, looking slightly healthier than usual. I think it's most noticeable in her bicep area. She seems like she has slightly more muscular arms lately.

Nicole Richie - Bloated Or Preggers?

By now you've seen the pictures of a gaunt and malnourished looking Nicole Richie grocery shopping with Mischa Barton for their Memorial Day party this last weekend. Now the National Enquirer is attributing Nicole's tummy bump to pregnancy.

Most likely her stomach is distended or bloated from not eating, not a baby. Also, one has to wonder if Nicole can even menstruate at her low body weight.

The girls' email invitation:

From: Nicole Richie
Subject: Masha[sic] and Nicole's Memorial Day Party
My fellow Americans its that time of year

Musicians Who Like To Call Each Other Fat & Ugly

The spat between Lily Allen and Cheryl Cole becoming an international feud as Beth Ditto, lead singer of The Gossip, jumps in.

Ricky Wilson of the Kaiser Chiefs defended Lily Allen on May 20th and called the Girls Aloud singer a "knobhead" due to her labelling Lily Allen a "chick with a dick."

Beth Ditto has chimed in, telling Radio One "Fuck Girls Aloud. I'd rather be a fat chick with a dick than an asshole."

Referring to Lily Allen's recent statement that she was convinced by the media that she needed liposuction, Beth Ditto added, "It's hard to feel good when magazines say you're ugly, so I know how Lily feels."

Starvation Isn't Heidi's Thing

Former Supermodel Heidi Klum has recently stated that with her curvaceous figure, she'd never starve herself to be a super skinny size zero.

"I have always been too round to do fashion shows. I don't look weird enough for them to want me for the catwalk that's fine," said Klum. "The other girls are always much taller and skinnier, so it just isn't my thing. I stick to what I'm good at and have never been prepared to starve myself to death and do crazy stuff just to be like a thin rail and fit into their clothes."

Keira Wins Libel Claim Over Daily Mail's Anorexia Claims

Keira Knightley has accepted a $6,000 settlement of her libel claim against the Daily Mail over an article that suggested she was to blame for the death of an anorexic teenager.

Knightley also said the story falsely suggested that she had an eating disorder.

Kate Wilson, representing the publisher of the Daily Mail, Associated Newspapers, told a court Thursday the newspaper accepted that Knightley was not responsible for a death, and that Knightley "does not have an eating disorder, and has not misled the public."

In January, the Daily Mail published a photo of Knightley in a bikini with the headline: "If pictures like this one of Keira carried a health warning, my darling daughter might have lived."
Knightley's lawyer, Simon Smith, said the article could be interpreted to say that she was personally responsible for the death of Sophie Mazurek, 19, who had suffered from anorexia.
Knightley, who was not in court, intends to donate the settlement to Beat, an eating disorder and mental illness charity.

Star Magazine Photoshops Kate's Abs?

The June 4th issue of Star magazine reveals the "36 Best and Worst Beach Bodies" and Kate Hudson is labelled "Worst" on the cover. Last week, candid photos of Kate's AMAZING abs surfaced on the internet, so my guess is that Star magazine's pictures have been photoshopped to make it appear like her stomach is melting.

I wonder if Kate heard about this photo being in the magazine and decided to preemptively strike by walking around with a midriff bearing sports bra?


Also on the Worst list: Kirsten Dunst, Uma Thurman.
On the Best list: Jessica Biel, Tyra Banks, Cameron Diaz, Hugh Jackman.

Dita Is Pale and Proud

Burlesque dancer Dita Von Teese is proud to be pale!

Dita is reportedly using sun-blocking curtains to protect her porcelain skin from tanning at Cannes Film Festival in South of France.

"I have brought my own curtains to the hotel to stop the sungetting in, and I have only used the hotel pool at night. I have also packed vitamins to stop the sun doing anything to me. Some foods accelerate tanning, so I'm very careful about what I eat here."

It is refreshing to see someone who wants to protect their skin, and does not value, appreciate or cave in to the Hollywood beauty standard of fake, leathery tanned skin. Bravo Dita!

Scarlett Johansson For Louis Vuitton

Scarlett Johansson is the face of Louis Vuitton's Fall-Winter 2007 /2008 campaign.

"In this one, she's much more recognizable," said Antoine Arnault, Vuitton's communications director says.

Marc Jacobs (Vuitton's creative director) "adores" ScarJo and used her character from the 2003 movie "Girl With a Pearl Earring" as his inspiration for the collection.

The fall campaign, lensed by Vuitton regulars Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott, plays up the painterly colors of the ready-to-wear. "It's probably one of the most beautiful campaigns Mert and Marcus have ever shot," Arnault said. "It's a very iconic campaign."

Arnault, son of LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton chairman Bernard Arnault and a member of LVMH's board, said Johansson was at ease during the shoot, held in a studio in her hometown of Los Angeles in late March. In fact, during a lunch break, the photographers were so struck by the combination of light and Johansson that they snapped some impromptu black-and-white portraits that will be featured in a future issue of Pop magazine.

Lindsay Lohan was reportedly rejected as the face of this campaign back in October because she was "too American" for the label, so Lindsay settled for deals with lower profile labels Miu Miu and Jill Stuart. Interestingly, the site Gawker reported that Lohan scrawled “Scarlett is a bloody c-nt / L / Peace and love / [illegible] / f—ker” on the bathroom wall at the NYC bar Dark Room last year.

Jordin Sparks, "Vision Of Unhealth"?

Jordin Sparks has been called a "vision of unhealth" by Meme Roth, a woman representing the National Action Against Obesity on Fox News.

Roth said that Jordin "clearly has extra weight on her" and is "statistically normal" in regards to the obesity trend in America.

"The second Jordin wins she's gonna drop 40 lbs, her handlers will make sure of it, look at the past winners. And if she wants to have a long career in Hollywood, I'm not saying it's fair, I'm not saying it's right, but I am saying that she's gonna have to drop that weight" Roth said.

"When I look at Jordin what I see is diabetes, I see heart disease, I see high cholestorol... that's what's so sad about this, she isn't a vision of health, she's a vision of unhealth."

Lindsay Lohan Chosen As Face Of Jill Stuart

This fall, Lindsay Lohan will be the face of new label Jill Stuart. The contemporary sportswear designer selected Lohan to be the face of its print ad campaign, hitting August magazines and running through November. The campaign marks the first time Jill Stuart has chosen a celebrity for her ads."I can't say enough fantastic things about Lindsay," Stuart said of her choice to go with the celeb rather than a model. "She is sexy and smart, exactly what the Jill Stuart woman embodies."

I wouldn't go so far as to call this girl smart... fresh outta AA and having a Vodka company sponsor her birthday bash is her most recent demonstration of her lack of brain cells.

Shocker! Victoria Beckham Wants Attention!

Victoria Beckham seems to be having a hard time adjusting to life in Los Angeles.

Back in Britain, Victoria is one of the most watched celebrities, but L.A. does not seem to take as much interest in her as her homeland does.

On Monday she staged a publicity visit to the Pleasure Chest sex shop in West Hollywood, with a blowup doll dressed like her as a "decoy." The paparazzi were tipped off and waiting for the stunt.
Her husband, David Beckham 's, $250M contact with the Galaxy soccer team kicks off in July. No doubt his arrival will get her some much-needed attention.

Then on Tuesday, Victoria was pulled over by a cop and ticketed... making many believe this was another publicity stunt for her upcoming reality TV show.

According to The Daily Mail, “The star has had a run in with the law on the streets of Los Angeles, where she was pulled over outside a Hollywood shopping complex by a Beverly Hills officer, who ran checks on her British driver’s license.”

"Beckham put a cheeky strategy for buttering up police to the test - a yellow lacy bra was peeping out of her figure-hugging black shirtdress.”

Then the cop let her go.

Mary-Kate Returns To Television

Mary-Kate Olsen is ready to return to television - without her twin sister Ashley by her side. Mary-Kate has landed a role on the television show "Weeds".

MK will play "Tara"- a God fearing girl living in the Christian megachurch community of Majestic - and will become a love interest for Silas, played by Hunter Parrish. It is reported that she will appear in 10 of the 15 episodes that comprise the show's 3rd season, which premieres in August.

"I'm thrilled to be a part of the show," MK said. "It's really an honor to be a part of such a talented group of actors and writers."

A series producer said: "'Weeds' isn't your eight o'clock family fare. It's an adult show and adult subject matter, and we're confident Mary-Kate is right for the role. She came in and read with Hunter and was absolutely charming and real and seemed like a great fit.

"Audiences have seen only one side of Mary-Kate, but here we'll see her in a whole new light."

This is the second time Mary-Kate has appeared on screen without her twin. She made a fleeting non-speaking appearance in "Factory Girl."

Olsen's role on the edgy Showtime series about a pot-dealing mom (Parker) also is a departure from the wholesome, PG characters she and her sister have played and opens a new chapter in her acting career.

Nicole Richie, The Latest Rehab Celeb?

Rumours are swirling that Nicole Richie has checked into a rehab center this week.

Of course they are originating from unreliable sources - the National Enquirer and Star magazine - both report that Nicole is being treated for anorexia and a nasty addiction to pills.

The mags claim that the an 83 pound Nicole checked into the Beau Monde Treatment Center in Corona Del Mar, California on May 11. Enquirer and Star say that after several days of detox, Richie started out-patient treatment. She was reportedly seen arriving at the clinic on the morning of May 19. Nicole's rep denies everything.

Last year in an interview with Vanity Fair, Nicole talked about her weight issues, stating that she was consulting a nutritionist and physician. "I was scared that it could be something more serious," she told the magazine.

In October 2006, Nicole underwent diagnostic treatment to, according to her representative, "determine why she's not putting on any weight."
Her rep added, "It is important to Nicole that she achieves this goal in a healthy way as this is not a treatment for an eating disorder."

In March, Nicole was hospitalized for dehydration and hypoglycemia. Later that month she told OK! magazine that she resents allegations that she has an eating disorder.

"That really bothers me because there are people who truly have eating disorders and it is a serious disease," she said. "To put that title on someone when it is not true is disrespectful. I've repeatedly said, 'No, I don't have an eating disorder,' and it has fallen on deaf ears."

Janet Jackson: Still Trying To Be Relevant

US Weekly Magazine knows that weight loss stories sell! Janet Jackson appears on the cover of this week's issue, undoubtedly to promote her lead role in the upcoming movie"Why Did I Get Married." Janet spoke with the mag about her exercise and diet regime:

On keeping the weight off:“I have a great support system to keep me on track… But I still don’t like working out. It’s hard for me. I have to push myself to want to do it.”

On the fear of packing on the pounds again:“I have moments—I crave chocolate, or just want to eat. One thing that helps is getting my clothes altered to fit so I can tell when I gain or lose. I used to wear overalls all the time, and my mom said, ‘Baby, don’t do that or you won’t know how much you lose.’”

On how you can look like her:“If I can do it, anybody can do it. Eating light and clean helps, but you really shouldn’t think of it as a diet, otherwise you feel like you’re depriving yourself. If you crave something, you should have a little bit of it, then let it go and move on. Do a little exercise so you’re back on track."

On eating right:“It’s about control and it’s a balanced diet. Of course I have cheat days! Especially with my dancers, who love to eat. And after a hard day of work, they want to unwind and grab a drink, and alcohol is not good for my diet with all the extra calories. I try to have a glass of wine, but then somebody comes with a lemon drop and it’s so good. You feel like you’re drinking cough syrup or candy, and before you know it, the next day comes and you feel it. I make up for it with a few more reps when I lift weights.”

Keira Wants Curves, Grass Is Greener, etc., etc.

Keira Knightley, still fighting rumours of an eating disorder, claims (yet again) that she wishes she had more curves. In a recent interview with Britain's morning show GMTV (to be aired Monday) Knightley exclaimed, "I would love to have tits!"

"I would love to have Monica Bellucci's figure," Knightley says of the Italian model and Matrix movies actress. "I'm never going to get it. I'm naturally who I am."

Knightley also reveals that she rejects the idea of getting cosmetic surgery to enhance her figure. "'It's far too frightening. I couldn't."

Keira doesn't plan on altering her healthy diet and exercise regime in the hopes of packing on the pounds. "Yes, I'd say that I do like to keep fit, only because I like to be able to run around and do things," she says. "I think that it would be great in the media if we saw a wider range of women of all ages, of all shapes and sizes."

Knightley's petite frame is often a topic that comes up in her interviews. When the movie King Arthur was released, she voiced her criticism over having her bosom digitally enhanced for the look of the movie poster. "Those things certainly weren't mine," FOX news quoted her as saying. "[The studio marketing people] said, 'We want to make them slightly larger, and you'll get approval [of the photos].' And I was, like, 'OK, fine. I honestly don't give a s--t.'"

Lindsay Done With Nudity?

Lindsay Lohan was quoted as saying "I will not do full frontal. I need somewhere to go as an actress" at the Chanel party, regarding her upcoming role as an "exotic dancer" in the movie "I Know Who Killed Me."

Does this mean she's done with the crotch flashing shots too? I certainly hope so.

MK Out & About

Mary-Kate Olsen out & about with Max Snow in Brentwood last Sunday. Hobotastic! Or should I say Bobotastic?

Holy Jolie looking for souls to eat at Cannes

The couple that everyone loves to hate made an appearance at Cannes Film Festival to promote Holy Jolie's new movie "A Mighty Heart" - Angelina has maintained her low body weight and her hand, fingers and wrist are looking more and more like a Grim Reaper's.

Stallone Trying To Fight Aging Body Using Human Growth Hormone

Sylvester Stallone was fined $2,500 by an Australian court on Monday for illegally bringing 48 vials of human growth hormone into Australia during a promotional trip in February.

The court heard that Stallone, 60, told customs he was prescribed the prohibited hormone to give his aging body a boost and to look good while filming his latest "Rambo" movie in Asia.

"This stuff gives your body a boost and you feel and look good," Stallone said in a customs interview. "Doing Rambo is hard work, and I am going to be in Burma for a while.

"Where do you think I am going to get this stuff in Burma?"
