Emily VanCamp Reveals How She Got Her Hot Revenge Body

Emily VanCamp is in the best shape of her life, thanks to her role as Emily Thorne/Amanda Clarke on the hit ABC series Revenge.

The 26-year-old actress appears on the September cover of Hamptons magazine, where she reveals her favorite method of exercise. "Pilates is probably my favorite way, but I want to get back into yoga," VanCamp says. "When I'm working, I find it's the best way to balance working on your body and also your mind and spirit."

Though her role can be physically demanding at times, VanCamp is well equipped to perform. "Luckily I had ballet training. At the end of the day, a fight scene is choreography; we're developing the character as we go," she explains. "I've definitely been thrown for a few loops -- trying to memorize the Japanese. But that's what I love most about this character. This is a girl who has gone off and trained intensively for eight years. She's incredibly skilled."

VanCamp doesn't anticipate shooting many girl-on-girl fight scenes, but she isn't opposed to it. "I'm all about strong female empowerment," she laughs. "It's funny: a lot of men watch this show, and I don't think any of us were expecting that in the beginning. They're more hooked than their wives! It's kind of hard not to look. It's like watching a train wreck."

Though fans might "love" to see VanCamp throw down with her arch nemesis Victoria Grayson (played by Madeleine Stowe, 54), the actress doesn't think the show's creators will let it happen. "I don't think she's as much of a physical fighter as she is with her words -- that's her tool against people. We have this underlying banter that is masked with smiles and laughs. That's almost more fun."

VanCamp is careful not to reveal any plot spoilers from Revenge's upcoming second season -- and she's just as tight-lipped when asked about her eight-month romance with costar Josh Bowman, 24. "We don't really talk about our relationship," she tells Hamptons. "The show becomes about your personal life if you talk about it too much."

For now, VanCamp has plenty of other things to focus on. "Last year was the hardest I've ever worked," she admits. "I'm trying to sleep as much as possible to gear up for season 2!"

Too bootylicious for her own good?

She's got one of the most famous posteriors in the world these days, but Kim Kardashian fretted over the weekend that she looked less-than-flattering in a pair of skintight jeans.

The most recent episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, meanwhile, laid bare some considerable tensions between Kim and her siblings -- especially little brother Rob, 25, who burst into tears during a family therapy session.

"Kim is the most selfish person and doesn't want to ever include me," Rob later said following a blowout fight.

PIC: Jordin Sparks Shows Off 50-Pound Weight Loss in Formfitting White Dress at U.S. Open Gala

Another major red carpet moment for Jordin Sparks.

The Season Five American Idol victor, 22, showed off her incredible 50-pound slimdown at the USTA's US Open Opening Night Gala in NYC Monday night in a skintight, crochet white dress and nude heels.

On the red carpet, Sparks -- who wowed gala attendees with her performance of the National Anthem -- opened up to Us Weekly about staying in shape despite the demands of her jam-packed schedule.

Sparks, usually a gym buff, admitted she hasn't had as much time as she'd like to fit in workouts while she travels the country promoting Sparkle. "It's been so crazy . . . that's where really watching what I eat comes into play," she explained.

"I've been trying to stay away from all of the stuff at the airports, because that's where I've been living," the pop star, who debuted her new figure last year, shared. "I've been trying to eat a lot of salads, apples, fruits -- I've been trying to stick with things like that so I can snack on those instead of being like, 'Oh look, a bag of chips! I'll just have those!'"

Though she does her best to nosh on healthy fare, Sparks admitted she lets herself indulge when she finds herself facing a serious craving. Her favorite feast?

"In-N-Out burger, for sure!" she told Us. "Well, that, or my mom's sweet potato casserole. It's a good thing she only makes that once a year because I would eat it all day long!"

Jennie Garth Explains How She Got So Skinny

Lookin' good, Jennie Garth!

Though her recently slimmer frame raised eyebrows earlier this summer, newly-divorced Garth confirms she's losing weight the old-fashioned way: Through a careful diet and lots of exercise.

"I'm just taking care of myself: Eating less, exercising more, drinking a lot of coconut water," Garth, 40, told Us Weekly at Thursday's Old Navy Denim Pop-Up Bar event in L.A.

Garth has admitted that her March split from Nurse Jackie's Peter Facinelli after 11 years of marriage has taken a toll on her body -- but says that she's not necessarily reaching for comfort foods all of the time. "I eat a lot of Greek yogurt: Greek yogurt in the morning, salads and proteins the rest of the day and maybe a cupcake if I've been a good girl," explains Garth, who works out with trainer Shannon Stewart. "I don't believe in depriving yourself of things you want."

The mom of three daughters, Garth has begun to start dating again in the wake of her split. "She's happier than ever!" says a friend of Garth, who romanced HGTV star Antonio Ballatore post-split and has recently been on dates with hunky photographer Noah Abrams.

Thursday's Old Navy party provided Garth with an opportunity to show off her slender, sexy new bod to her old pal Luke Perry, with whom she recently reunited to film an Old Navy commercial. "It was weird, it was like no time had passed and we were back on the set again," Garth tells Us of filming the commercial with her former Beverly Hills, 90210 costar. In fact, their Old Navy reunion is a sign of things to come.

"We want to work together again because we really love each other and it would be nice to spend time together working," says Garth, who is currently writing a sitcom with Perry, 45. Adds the actor, who played 90210's Dylan: "t's a good day at work when you're with people you know and that you like."

Kim Kardashian Goes "Rock Climbing" in Sexy Swimsuit

Kim Kardashian: entrepreneur, fashion designer, reality show standout . . . extreme sports aficionado?

The E! star-turned-thrill-seeker, 31, showed off her rock climbing skills -- and those world famous curves -- on Twitter Tuesday when she posted sexy swimsuit shots from a recent photo shoot.

"Rock climbing, lol" and "Rock hard," Kardashian wrote in the tweets accompanying the racy images. (In one, she poses seductively in a skimpy, beige monokini; in another, she dons a green-striped henley tee, but not much else.)

Kardashian, who has been dating Kanye West since March, recently opened up to New York Magazine about their shared love of fashion -- and why she thinks it will help them go the distance.

VIDEO: Watch Kim Kardashian get a butt X-ray

"When this whole life is done, and it's just the two of us sitting somewhere when we're 80, you want to have things to talk about that you have in common," the reality star/designer explains. Before getting serious with her "Watch the Throne" rapper beau, 35, Kardashian admits "I think that's something maybe I didn't value as highly as a quality I cared about in someone."

Nicole Kidman Shows Off Hot Body, Cleavage in Sheer, Skimpy Lingerie, Talks Tom Cruise Split

Talk about an award-winning body of work!

Nicole Kidman graces the September issue of V magazine -- and inside its pages, the 45-year-old Paperboy star and mother of four doesn't wear a whole lot.

In stunning, sexy photos taken by famed celeb photographer Mario Testino, the Oscar winner seems to channel the over-the-top nymphomaniac she portrays opposite Zac Efron and John Cusack in Paperboy. In one shot, the super-pale Australian actress reclines in a tiny, see-through red lace bra and panties. With teased, 80s-style platinum blonde hair and dramatic makeup, she shows off her toned legs in another shot, wearing a black-and-pink bra and a neon miniskirt. A third black-and-white closeup image shows Kidman flaunting her cleavage in a form-fitting light-toned bra.

"I would be more outlandish if I could," Kidman tells V magazine. "A lot of times you just don’t get the chance."

Still, in one talked-about scene from Paperboy, Kidman's character gets pretty outlandish -- urinating on Zac Efron after he's stung by a jellyfish.

"The peeing thing, I didn't think was that weird, because I was in character," she explains. "That was for the jellyfish. And for me it said so much about Charlotte. One, she's protecting him. Two, she’s tough as nails and no one else is going to pee on this guy. All of that made total sense to me. I just went for it and didn't overthink it."

Kidman also opens up about signing on to The Hours -- her Oscar-winning role -- hours after divorcing Tom Cruise back in 2001.

"If you're being completely drained in your personal life and you’re never being nourished there, it's very hard to make it work," Kidman admitted, who was inspired by the film's director Stephen Daldry. "But sometimes, if you meet the right person who will mine it, and you're open to being mined, it can really work. Stephen was able to mine me. I was crazy in love with him, and so I was like, I'll do whatever, because I love you. I gave him every part of me that I could give him." Kidman, who shares kids Connor, 17, and Bella, 19, with Cruise, 50, married Keith Urban back in 2006; the couple share daughters Sunday, 4, and Faith, 20 months.  Cruise and third wife Katie Holmes finalized their divorce on Tuesday.

One lesser-known fact about Kidman? As a child, the she wasn't allowed out in the sun between the hours of 10 a.m. and 3 p.m.! "At the time I thought it was the cruelest thing, and now I know it was the greatest gift," she muses. "I probably had a strong sexuality as a child, so that informs all that yearning and wanting things, and the hormones that are running through you at a really early age—they all started to surge because of the things I was reading."

Inside Michelle Obama's Grueling Workout Routine

Though they manage to steal the show wherever they go, Michelle Obama's arms aren't that special, the First Lady insists.

"I just saw two weeks of Olympics athletes who have real arms, so I always wonder, well, what is it?" she tells iVillage during her first feature as that site's guest editor. "My arms do not compete with people who have 'real' arms."

The secret to her fabulous, toned figure, in general? Daily early morning workouts alongside her husband, President Barack Obama. (Michelle, 48, wakes up at 4:30 every morning to exercise.)

"I usually get to the gym before [Barack] does. But he is usually there either in the middle of my workout or right at the end," she says of their side-by-side sweat sessions. "And we're watching Sports Center and we're catching up. That's why I know so much about sports . . . you start having an opinion about [Tim] Tebow and Mark Sanchez."

These days, Obama is often on the road, hosting campaign events and visiting schools and youth-focused programs as part of her "Let's Move" initiative. Despite her jam-packed schedule, she makes it a point to squeeze in workouts whenever, and wherever, she can.

"For me, [exercise] is a de-stresser, first and foremost," she explains. When FLOTUS is away from home, "I bring a jump rope. I can usually do some jump-roping in the hotel room," she says. "If I don't have a rope or space, I might do a 30-minute routine that includes a minute of jumping jacks, alternating with a minute of pushups and then some sit-ups. You take a 30-second break and do it again."

Obama tries to stick to healthy fare as much as possible, though she does confess to one major food vice: french fries. Her husband sometimes struggles to curb his snacking, too.

"Barack, his [vice] is chips and salsa and guacamole. And peanuts -- nuts -- almonds, pecans," Obama shares. "And there's a way that he eats that we tease him about -- he kind of shakes them in one hand and creates, like, a little dispenser with his index finger where he can just pop them in his mouth. He's a nut guy. That's what he's munching on all the time."

Britney Spears Shows Off Sexy Beach Body in Bright White Bikini Top

Britney Spears just wants to go . . . back to the beach, that is.

The X Factor judge, 30, lamented summer's near end on Twitter and Facebook Saturday, posting a pic of her soaking up some sun -- and showing off her incredible bikini body in the process.

"Y'all ready for summer to end? I'm definitely not!" the singer captioned the picture, in which she rocks oversized sunglasses, a bright white bikini top and a huge smile. (The mom to Sean, 6, and Jayden, 5, didn't indicate when or where the photo was taken.)

Spears' X Factor duties are about to kick into high gear; the show's second season (and the pop star's first as a judge) premieres September 12.

Earlier this month, The Voice's Christina Aguilera -- who starred alongside Spears on The Mickey Mouse Club from 1993-1995 -- shared some words of support for her former costar with reporters during a NBC press conference.

"I came up with Britney . . . we were very close. Our paths have always crossed and they continue to cross," Aguilera, 31, said of her longtime pop princess peer. "I welcome her to this family of fun and entertainment and finding new talent . . . I know she's a pro and she's going to give, I think, great advice."

3 Ways Taylor Swift Maintains a Healthy Lifestyle

Monday was a big day for Taylor Swift: news dropped that she bought a home in Cape Cod, and later that day, she announced the release of her fourth studio album, Red, on Oct. 22. With everything she's juggling, The 22-year-old is learned at a young age how to keep her life healthy and balanced.

She maintains a regular exercise routine: Let's face it, the country crooner is young and has good genes on her side, but she definitely recognizes the health benefits that come from exercise. To keep her stamina up on stage, she makes a point to run every day, "For me, working out is not so I can get skinny. It's so that I'm not panting on stage."

She lets go of negativity: Given how confessional her songs are, it probably comes as no surprise that the breakup anthem-writer keeps a journal. Instead of bottling up negative emotions, the songstress lets them go through written word. Keeping a journal is a great way to increase self-awareness by helping to get rid of the clutter in your head and make positive steps toward change.

She eats healthy (with some room to cheat): Being on tour can take its toll on the body, so Swift keeps her energy levels high through healthy eating. During the week, it's all about salad, yogurt, and healthy sandwiches, but once the weekend comes, she gives herself room to indulge. Baked goods, burgers, and lattes top her list of cheat foods.

Kim Kardashian Flaunts Massive Cleavage in Sexy Beach Photo Shoot

Bronzed beauty!

No stranger to bikini photo shoots, Kim Kardashian treated her Instagram followers to a series of sultry new shots Thursday, posting images from a "night shoot" that had her frolicking in the sand in a barely-there bikini.

Showing off massive cleavage in the plunging black and white printed swimsuit, Kardashian, 31, got soaking wed as waves crashed around her. The Keeping Up With the Kardashians star kept mum about the sexy shots, simply captioning the images "night swim."

Kardashian also found herself in a bikini earlier this month when she and boyfriend of four months Kanye West checked into a $10,000-a-night suite at the Kahala Hotel & Resort in Honolulu.

Though the jaunt was work-focused with West, 35, recording portions of a new album, Kardashian enjoyed being by her man's side during the low-key getaway.

"When this whole life is done, and it's just the two of us sitting somewhere when we're 80, you want to have things to talk about that you have in common," Kardashian recently told New York magazine of her bond with longtime friend-turned-lover West. "I think that's something maybe I didn't value as highly as a quality I cared about in someone."

Spice Girls' Hot Body Secrets Revealed!

All eyes were on the Spice Girls during the closing ceremony at the London Olympics August 12.

Sixteen years after the group hit it big with their smash single "Wannabe," the five females -- Victoria Beckham, 38, Geri Halliwell, 40, Emma Bunton, 36, Melanie Chisholm, 38, and Melanie Brown, 37 -- looked sexier than ever performing in front of the world's most talented athletes (not to mention millions of viewers). Here, Us Weekly uncovers how the best-selling female group of all time (who are now all moms!) got camera ready.

Fashion designer Beckham -- mom to Brooklyn, 13, Romeo, 9, Cruz, 7, and Harper, 13 months -- recently confessed that she loves "to snack." Her healthy go-to treats include fresh fruit and coconut water.

After years of yo-yo dieting, Halliwell -- mom to Bluebell, 6 -- has developed a smarter way to stay in shape. "Geri is all about yoga, healthy eating -- and clothes that flatter her shape," a source says in the new issue of Us Weekly (out Friday). The "Look at Me" singer, who wore a Suzanne Neville design at the Olympics, "is finally comfortable in her own skin," the source adds. "She feels better than ever."

Bunton, meanwhile credits her slimdown to three-times-a-week workouts. "Emma likes running on the treadmill," an insider says of the mom to Beau, 5, and Tate, 15 months. "She's very happy with her body these days!"

After giving birth to daughter Scarlet in 2009, Chisholm -- known for her tracksuits and trainers -- says she feels "more feminine" than ever before. The ever-fit star adds that she had a blast during the one-night reunion with her bandmates, in which they sang "Wannabe" and "Spice Up Your Life" atop vrooming London cabs. "We had the best time!" she tells Us.

Perhaps no Spice Girl is as dedicated to fitness as Brown (mom to Phoenix, 13, Angel, 5, and Madison, 11 months). She hikes and reportedly does 600 sit-ups a day, making it easier to slip into skintight bodysuits like the Zuhair Murad design she chose August 12. "Mel does one- to two-hour treadmill workouts with playlists made by DJ Lindsay Luv," a source explains.

For more on the Spice Girls reunion -- including how they've "refined our look" -- pick up the new issue of Us Weekly, out Friday!

Matthew McConaughey Explains Gaunt Appearance

Matthew McConaughey is famous for his fit figure, but in recent weeks, he's been photographed looking surprisingly gaunt.

The reason, according to the 42-year-old newlywed, has nothing to do with vanity. McConaughey will soon play an HIV positive patient in The Dallas Buyer's Club, costarring two-time Academy Award winner Hilary Swank, 38.

"I'm playing a guy who was sick and would have loved to have been healthier but wasn't. For me, it's more of a mental thing than a physical thing," McConaughey told Us Weekly at the NYLON Guys and Macy's INC party in Santa Monica, Calif. August 15. "I'll get down to the weight I need to get to. I'm on my way, and it's what I need to do for the job."

McConaughey is eating "small amounts" of high-protein, low-carbohydrate foods to slim down. "It's only five ounces," he said. "That's the toughest thing."

As for his workouts, "it's mostly cardio," McConaughey told Us. "There's very, very little resistance." When filming wraps, the Texas native is most excited to chow down on a "cheeseburger."

His movie prep aside, McConaughey is also getting ready for the birth of his third child with wife Camila Alves, whom he married on June 9. (They have two children, Levi, 4, and Vida, 2.)

"The kids understand what's in her belly. Levi's very excited about it and we're looking forward to having a third [child] in the family," the actor said.

To help Alves, 30, during her pregnancy, McConaughey told Us he's "doing a lot of cooking! There's a Brazilian dish that her mother does, so we're having it more often than we're used to. That involves a lot of chicken, a lot of cheese and things like that, which I'm not having, but she is. She loves a good steak, so I've been making a good rib-eye for her when I can."

Kim Kardashian Risks Nip Slip in Retro, High-Waisted Bikini on Hawaiian Vacation

Aloha curves!

Kim Kardashian was feeling tropical during her Hawaiian vacation with beau Kanye West and shared her latest Maui wow-y looks via Instagram on Wednesday.

The bikini-loving star went retro in floral high-waisted bikini bottoms and a teeny matching halter top  cut so low, the reality star was millimeters away from risking a nip slip. To top off her look, she wore her long hair down in loose waves and pinned a fuchsia flower over her left ear.

"Me Ke Aloha," she posted beside one bikini-clad photo. The term translates to, "with love."

Speaking of warm feelings, Kardashian, 31, recently opened up to New York magazine about her longtime friend and boyfriend of four months, West, 35.

"If I have a design meeting, or he has one, we come back and talk about how our meetings went. It's cool, cause you can definitely get more in-depth with someone who actually knows what you're talking about," she says of their individual fashion empires.

Says the twice-wed star of their future: "When this whole life is done, and it's just the two of us sitting somewhere when we're 80, you want to have things to talk about that you have in common," Kardashian explains. "I think that's something maybe I didn't value as highly as a quality I cared about in someone."

Meanwhile, Kardashian's attorney was in an L.A. court hearing on her behalf Wednesday, as the reality star and her estranged husband Kris Humphries battle it out. Humphries, 27, is claiming fraud, and his attorney is out to prove that the E! star had "no intention of proceeding with this marriage. That it was basically a contrivance for the benefit of her show and to make money."

How Halle Berry, 46, Has Barely Aged Since 2000

It's hard to believe that the two photos above were taken 11 years apart. But any fan of Halle Berry can vouch that the star still remains to be one of the most ageless A-listers in Hollywood.

Berry, who celebrated her 46th birthday on Tuesday, has never been one to make headlines for her weight ups and downs and instead, kept admirers gawking at how she manages to maintain her incredible body.

"Halle's body looks 10 years younger, at least. She's an inspiration!" the actress' trainer Nat Bardonnet has told Us Weekly. "We try to get rid of what she doesn't like while keeping her womanly shape: erasing thighs, keeping the butt high, lengthening the hamstrings, and working the abs."

To fuel her hourlong, four-day-a week workouts with Bardonnet, the New Year's Eve actress, who's engaged to her beau of two years, Olivier Martinez, relies on protein drinks from West Hollywood's Earth Bar. Adds Bardonnet, "She also eats energy bars."

In addition, the diabetic star, mom of Nahla, 4, eats five times a day to keep her blood sugar and metabolism up. Her meal picks: salads, fish and soups, which double as anti-aging, wrinkle-fighting foods.

Jordin Sparks Shows Off 50-Pound Weight Loss at Sparkle Premiere

Jordin Sparks didn't need an over-the-top sequined gown to shine at the Sparkle premiere in NYC Tuesday.

Instead, the film's star, 22, donned a minimalist, alice + olivia by Stacey Bendet peplum frock (with matching patent leather stilettos) which showed off her incredible 50-pound weight loss.

At the Teen Choice Awards last month, Sparks opened up to Us Weekly about the key to her jaw-dropping body makeover, which she first debuted last spring.

"There is no secret," the Season Five American Idol champ shared. "It's just better eating and working out! It's definitely a daily thing."

One of her favorite ways to stay active? High-energy dance classes like Zumba.

"My mom's best friend is a Zumba instructor and I loved it," she gushed. "I started with walking then went to jogging and then Zumba." In addition to her cardio-heavy classes, "I started [working with a trainer] and we did 30 minutes of circuit training," Sparks says. "So I didn't feel like I needed to be in the gym for two hours."

Sparks' lifestyle changes have paid off big time -- this summer, the pop star landed the August cover of Shape, where she flaunted her slimdown in a barely-there bikini.

"I could only dream of having a cover and looking like that," she told Us. "I thought, 'I did it!' I had to walk back to my dressing room and . . . pull myself together because I was overwhelmed. I cried. I shed a little tear."

Tim Tebow Poses Shirtless in Sexy GQ Photo Shoot

Tim Tebow has never looked quite like this!

The devout quarterback, 25, made headlines in February when he decided to appear fully clothed in his Jockey Underwear ads, but in the September issue of GQ, the athlete doffs his top and shows off his chiseled chest and six-pack abs in a photo spread by Mark Seliger.

The 6-foot-3 pro was traded from the Denver Broncos to the New York Jets in March, eliciting mixed reactions from the sports community. Though it's too early to predict how Tebow will perform, he hopes fans will give him a fair shot.

"I think if they're a Jets fan, hopefully they'll be rooting for me. I'll do whatever I can to help this team win football games. I'll give my heart and soul whenever I step on that field and even when I'm on the sidelines," he tells GQ's NFL Kick-Off issue. "And at the end of the day, that's really all you can ask of someone."

"I've done surfing, I've done Pilates, I've done dance, so honestly, [my workout] is just a little mishmash of everything," Greene added.

The actress -- whose new movie, Apparition, is in theaters August 24 -- also dropped hints about what fans can expect in The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2.

"Everyone has been wanting to see Renesmee being born and the interaction with her, so everyone is going to get to see a little bit of that," she said of the half-mortal, half-vampire baby born to Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson's characters.

As for her own character, Alice Cullen, "it's a lot of the same thing with her, being that supportive rock for Bella and Edward and not really choosing sides" Greene told Us. "Then, you know, we always throw in a little fight sequence. Alice always has a very graceful, very fun fight sequence, so we'll see that."

The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2 is in theaters November 16.

How Kate Beckinsale, 39, Maintains Her Super-Sexy Figure

Known for fighting her way across the silver screen, Kate Beckinsale, who turned 39 last month, knows staying in action-hero shape is no easy feat. Here's how the Total Recall stunner keeps her body in fighting power.

She varies her workouts: Beckinsale doesn't just stick to one routine. The Brit bombshell is a longtime client of celeb yogini Mandy Ingber, who told us that she works with the star several times a week whenever the actress is in L.A., saying, "She is extremely dedicated to her practice and keeps it pure." Beckinsale has also spent time with trainer Ramona Braganza, who worked with the actress on cardio, circuit training, and core-specific exercises. It also comes down to dedication: she takes her training for movie roles seriously, training five days a week, hours at a time.

She keeps it real: A solid fitness routine is tough work, something the Underworld: Awakening actress knows all too well -- she never even stepped foot into a gym until scoring a role in Pearl Harbor. While her action roles force her to do some serious training, she scales back when she's in between movies and told ELLE UK, "I just can't make it part of my daily life. I go to the gym when I have to, and if I have to bulk up or slim down for a film, I will. I've recently got back into exercising four times a week. I run for half an hour at a time but never outdoors as I don't exercise in public. My gym's in my garage at home."

She keeps a (mostly) healthy diet: Whether she is on set, using the Sunfare at-home delivery service, or cooking for herself, Beckinsale keeps it healthy. A typical day for her involves eggs or oatmeal for breakfast, a chicken or veggie wrap for lunch, and fish and veggies for dinner. But it's not all uber-healthy foods for the star; she's said that she'll never turn down a cupcake, piece of birthday cake, or any other cake for that matter!

Jennie Garth Attributes Weight Loss to Post-Divorce Stress

Jennie Garth's sudden slimdown raised a few eyebrows earlier this week, but the Eleventh Victim actress insists she's perfectly healthy.

According to Garth, 40, her recent weight loss is a result of her March split with Peter Facinelli, 38, her husband of 11 years and father to her three daughters, Luca, 15, Lola, 9, and Fiona, 5.

"I've been certainly going through a transitional time in my life and I think anybody who has been through something like what I'm going through, and have been going through for the past couple years, can definitely relate that your body changes with your emotional state of mind sometimes," she told ET Canada August 8. "I think a lot of women can relate to that."

Garth, who romanced HGTV star Antonio Ballatore post-divorce, added that she's trying to encourage her girls to eat healthier, too.

"There's lots of fresh fruits and vegetables. We have so many fruits at our ranch where we've been living, so eating healthy, especially with three girls, body image is something that I try to set a good example for them," Garth explained.

"Every one of my girls is a different size and shape and I want them to be comfortable in their own skin and be healthy-minded as well as physically."

Garth has been focused on her fitness, and in May, she tweeted that her trainer "made me flip a ginormous tractor tire over. Like 50 times. I feel like Mr. T."

Despite her tinier frame, a source tells Us Weekly that Garth "doesn't look too skinny in person. . .She looks like the old Jennie."

Jake Gyllenhaal: I'm Done "Exercising Regularly"

Fitness fanatic Jake Gyllenhaal is taking a breather.

In the September issue of Details, the 31-year-old actor says his notoriously grueling workouts are a thing of the past. "I haven't cycled in a long time," he reveals. "I don't run anymore. Do I take care of my body and take conditioning seriously? Yes. But exercising regularly doesn't fit the energy of the character I'm playing now," he says of An Enemy, in which he plays a man who seeks out his look-alike.

Gyllenhaal -- whose famous exes include Reese Witherspoon, 36, Kirsten Dunst, 30, and Taylor Swift, 22 -- says he's become a different man since he shot the police thriller End of Watch, directed by David Ayer. "Dave told me right off that this was going to affect my soul," Gyllenhaal explains. "'Friends are going to say, That's the Jake I've always known, but somewhere deep inside, you'll know otherwise.'"

The actor spent five months prepping for the 22-day shoot, which included "three nights a week in ride-alongs with cops," Gyllenhaal recalls. "[We had] fight training every morning at a Kenbo Karate dojo, and I got the sh-t kicked out of me. Then [we went to] the shooting range, shooting past each other's heads, with live ammo."

"There's a simulated fire in the movie, but Dave wanted us to feel what that's like, so he had us do a controlled burn," Gyllenhaal adds. One Saturday, the actor and his costar, Michael Pena, 36, "drove down to Orange County, dressed like firemen head-to-toe, and suddenly we're there just sitting in the middle of a burning building."

According to Gyllenhaal, the film -- in theaters September 28 -- inspired him to go with his gut.

"Every journey starts with fear. And I could say that's what I want to embrace now. A real experience," he tells Details. "And I want, overall, to trust what I know is right. There have been many times when I haven't. It's what I'm asking myself: Where is the line? What is the line? There's so much context, it can be almost impossible to find."

Jessica Simpson Drinks Water, Not Alcohol, on Saturday Night

No more margaritas for Jessica Simpson?

On Saturday, the new mom to daughter Maxwell Drew Johnson announced to her 5.4 Twitter followers that she was laying off booze.

"Responsibility has drastically changed my life!" Simpson, 31, wrote. "Saturday night drink of choice.... WATER! :)"

Breastfeeding little Maxwell, now 3 months, Simpson (a well-known fan of the margaritas at high-end Mexican chain Dos Caminos) has more than one reason to eschew too much booze: Having inked a deal with Weight Watchers, she has until the end of August to lose 20-30 pounds of the estimated 70 she gained while pregnant with her first child.

"Jessica has always had issues with junk food," an insider told Us Weekly of the star, who's training again with celeb coach Harley Pasternak.

The singer and fashion designer stepped out last week in L.A. with her family, and covered up her curves in a brightly colored printed caftan, and wore sky-high platform heels.

"[Weight Watchers] focuses on healthy habits for the long-term (and I can still indulge in my guilty pleasures every now and then, too)," the new mom explained on Facebook. "I have actually gotten a group of friends together who are going to be doing it with me."

Jennifer Aniston Wears Tiny Daisy Dukes, Skintight Tanktop as Prostitute in Film

Fabulous and 43!

Playing a prostitute in We're the Millers, Jennifer Aniston has thus far stayed frumpy and covered up as she shoots the dark comedy with Jason Sudeikis and Emma Roberts in Wilmington, North Carolina. That all changed on Thursday, when the actress was snapped on set showing off her Yoga-taut figure in a super-skimpy look: Tiny, ripped Daisy Duke jean shorts and a clingy, skin-tight white tank top. Aniston (whose man Justin Theroux has stayed behind in NYC) wore her dirty blonde locks in a casual up-do, and appeared to be wearing minimal makeup and just gold earrings, pendant necklace and a simple bracelet.

In the film, Sudeikis plays a pot dealer attempting to smuggle a huge shipment of marijuana across the country -- hiring Aniston's prostitute as his fake wife.

Before Thursday's eye-catching ensemble, Aniston has been seen in much less revealing downright dowdy attire for the film.

"First day of filming on We're The Millers," Aniston's star-struck costar Emma Roberts, 21, tweeted last month. "So excited I woke up an hour early which I can assure you never happens." On July 17, Roberts tweeted that working with Aniston is a "dream come true."

Before getting down to work on the film last month, Aniston and beau Theroux, 40, enjoyed an extended European vacation capped off by a sun-filled, five-day trip to the island of Capri -- which included a June 19 jaunt on a rented luxury yacht, where Aniston showed her famous body in a skimpy two piece.

Miley Cyrus Displays Super-Tiny Waist in "Fiance Jeans"

Miley Cyrus has definitely met her fitness goals.

Back in the spring, she defended herself against critics of her super-svelte body -- one she honed via frequent Pilates sessions and, more controversially, a gluten-free diet.

Now engaged to Liam Hemsworth, the 19-year-old singer and actress showed her nearly 7 million Twitter fans just how svelte she's become in a eyebrow-raising TwitPic early Friday.

"My 'Fiance' jeans. but for real though." the former Disney starlet wrote of a pic in which her teeny-tiny waist is on full display as she wears baggy green pants (which may or may not belong to Australian actor Hemsworth, 22) and a tight, striped cropped-top T.

"For everyone calling me anorexic, I have a gluten and lactose allergy," Cyrus  said back in April. "It's not about weight -- it's about health. Gluten is crap anyway!" the "Can't Be Tamed" singer said of her avoidance of gluten, a protein found in wheat.

Cyrus was back in the news on Thursday after she was the target of a so-called 911 "swatting" prank call -- in which L.A. police rushed to her home after an impostor called in, claiming a possible invasion and/or kidnapping.

Good Morning America reports that officers surrounded Cyrus' home with guns drawn -- only to discovered that no one was home, with no stolen property. They concluded it was likely a "swatting" prank, in which jokesters provoke SWAT teams to break down the doors of innocent people. Cyrus has been in Philadelphia as Hemsworth shoots Paranoia.

Heidi Montag: I'm Grateful My Plastic Surgeries Weren't "Really Disastrous"

Heidi Montag became an over-the-top version of herself after undergoing 10 plastic surgery procedures in one day in 2010.

Though she's shunned the spotlight since then, the former Hills star, 25, recently opened up to Celebuzz about why she'll never go under the knife again. "It was a lot more than I could have expected," she admitted. "I really hate talking about it now because it was so long ago. I was a much different person back then to who I am now. I didn't realize how much of The Hills -- and going through that -- would define who I am."

Montag -- who got brow-lifts, ear-pinnings and a chin reduction, among other improvements -- told Celebuzz she's "really thankful" her body didn't become disfigured post-surgery. "It could have been really disastrous."

Heidi Montag on April 27, 2010

"I lived and I learned, and I wouldn't really recommend it for other people. It was a lot harder than I thought it would be going through it -- physically, mentally, emotionally, recovering," she said of having work done. "But, I'm just glad it's done and that everything healed so well."

Lauren Conrad's former BFF (who released an EP, Dreams Come True, in April) added that she has a few projects lined up, but felt it was premature to reveal any details. "I'm really looking forward to the next phase in my life," explained Montag, who married Spencer Pratt, 28, in November 2008. "I know I'll never be able to get away from a lot of [my past], but I won't give up trying to prove I'm more than just that."
