Celebrities and (Lack of) Fitness

You know your fitness regime needs tweaking when people constantly ask you when your baby is due… and you’re not pregnant. Right, Kate Moss? The fashionista, who became famous for being super skinny, is… well… not super skinny anymore. But, she’s not pregnant either. People just think she is because she gained some weight (gasp!) and stopped exercising. For the first time ever the 35-year-old catwalk queen is wearing a bra because, as Moss puts it, she has recently “grown breasts.” The super model also reveals that the rest of her extra pounds “went to the right places.” Consequently, she … Continue reading

Celebrity Round Up: Killing Shows, Killing Rumors, and Killer Legs

KILLING SHOWS “Scrubs” fans will have to enter new numbers into their TV remotes this fall if they want to catch up with their hospital friends.

Hollywood’s Winners and Losers—The Sweet Smell of Success and the Agony of Aging

Here we go again… Yet another female celeb has decided her sense for scents is good enough to launch her own perfume. Rapper turned actress Queen Latifah has become the latest star to release a new fragrance line. (Actually, her perfume won’t be in stores until next year.) I know. I know. Another celeb, another scent to be doused with as you make your way through the cosmetics department at Macy’s.

While it may sound like a great adventure for many of us to embark upon, especially in North America where it is getting colder every day and the snow clouds are winding up in time for Christmas. At the heart of Ms. Joseph’s system is a philosophy of getting around the same old stale diet and exercise that conventional wisdom touts and incorporating some fire … Continue reading

Kate Moss’ Vibrancy Diet

Apparently, Kate Moss has parted ways with her rock and roller boyfriend and has also decided to part ways with the rock and roll lifestyle (eating whatever, whenever and sleeping every other week or so). She says she’s on a diet now. She’s calling it the Vibrancy Diet. For all my research, I couldn’t find any such diet so my guess is she chose to call it the Vibrancy Diet instead of the I-ditched-my-loser-lover-and-need-to-get-back-in-shape-or-nobody-else-will-have-me-because-I-look-like-crap Diet. So, instead of last night’s left over pizza and champagne cocktails for breakfast, she is opting for yogurt, fruit and toast. (Not bad choices for … Continue reading
