JLo Loves Her Size 6, plus Celebs at the Beach

In this week’s roundup of celebrities and diet, there have been many photos circulating the internet of celebrities who seem to have lost their magically perfect bodies. Personally, I could care less. There is also a new article from a certain celebrity known for curves (who I normally do not really like, but I love her new article) that I think is totally worth telling you all about.
First, Jennifer Lopez is speaking up about her size-6 figure she is damn proud of. She claims she has been this size for the past decade, which I believe, and that we will never see her looking like a skeletor, which I also believe.

JLo tells the British edition of Elle Magazine in the May issue, “I couldn't ever be a size zero. I just don't see how I could get down to that size and still be healthy.”

"It wouldn't work. I have a butt, I have boobs and I have a woman's curves; there is no way I'd see them go to zero. I hate to look in a magazine and see a picture of a girl who looks so thin she looks unhappy and as if she just needs someone to give her a good meal."

The 37 year old continues, "There are girls out there who are naturally thin and who look great, but it's got to the point where models are dropping dead on catwalks because it's all about being thin. It's insane."

"But I like my body. My husband [singer Marc Anthony, 38] likes my body. And for most of my adult life, my body hasn't gone up or down, it's remained the same, give or take four pounds. I'm not obsessive. I work out with a trainer two or three times a week, but I'll go months at a time without any exercise at all. I just keep myself in check."

"I eat meat, I eat carbs, I even eat McDonald's. What I don't do is ever overeat. I don't eat desserts and I can limit the chocolate chip cookies to one or two."

If she does gain a few Lopez admits, "I feel it immediately and I just get a bit more strict with myself."

What’s her best tip of advice? "For me, looking good is all about looking healthy, and the ultimate beauty secret is about being happy in yourself.

Lastly, in the world of internet gossip sites, people can’t get enough of celebs in bathing suits looking less than perfect. You kill yourself to lose 10 pounds for a particular role, when shooting ends who can blame the actors for wanting to indulge during their time off. They are human after all let’s not forget.

On Monday, there was Tara Reid spilling out of her bikini. At least she wasn’t spilling her martini for all the paparrazi to document, right? Check it out here

Then there was Courtney Love who lost a ton of weight and looks good with clothes on. I guess the bloggers out there don’t appreciate the extra skin, but hey, I say good for her for losing the pounds. I’m sure she can take people criticizing her in a bikini. Click here to see for yourself

The most recent photo to surface is of none other than Kill Bill’s Uma Thurman. I think she looks great minus the saggy boobs, but that could all be helped if she wasn’t wearing this bikini. You’d think her stylist would teach her how shop for a flattering bathing suit right? See the suit here

So you’re telling me celebrities aren’t perfect? What?! This is unbelievable! Celebrities thrust themselves into the public eye and that is why bloggers can talk trash, legally. I do have a small problem when the bloggers themselves try to steal the spotlight, a hem Perez. Can we start talking trash about him yet because I think it’s about time this man gets what is coming to him? He’s got quite the belly on himself.

Kim Kardashian works out like a princess?

Riding the coattails of socialite/reality star/actress/singer Paris Hilton can do wonders for your career if you are good looking, have a famous parent and a lot of money. Just ask Nicole Richie or Kimberly Stewart. The latest friend to launch herself into the spotlight is Kim Kardashian. You may remember hearing something about a sex tape with her then boyfriend Ray J (singer Brady’s brother, recently linked to dating Whitney Houston). Well, if you’ve seen that tape and want to know how she got her killer body, now you can.

I am not kidding. Kim Kardashian, whose physique is similar to J.Lo and Beyonce, now has a five-minute downloadable fitness program titled The Kim Kardashian Workout…For Your Mind, Body and Spirit. I had to check it out to believe it.
First you go to her official website. Wow, this girl is full of herself. Pink background, tiara’s galore, a bio that describes her childhood as a fairy tail, cue the vomit. Who is this girl again? Seriously, you titled you workout, The Kim Kardashian Workout Exercise Fit for a Princess?! To view the program, you must pay $2.99 or you can purchase the workout cards for $5.99 that have pictures of beautiful Kim on the outside, pink of course.

Instructed by Kathy Kaehler, Hollywood trainer and former NBC Today Show fitness expert, you too can learn how to get the body of a new tabloid magnet! I think the cards a great idea, but on the website they look more like Barbie taro cards.

It’s nice to see one Paris’ gal pals promoting healthy body images. However I am confused why she has a workout video with a Hollywood trainer? I guess her sex tape that was “mistakenly” leaked has generated enough buzz that people are demanding how she stays in shape! Whatever, I guess you gotta ride your 15 minutes of fame before they are up. Looks like it might be worth a look, and it’s not too expensive.

Does anyone else have any opinions on the absurdity of these people who have no talent, are not movie stars, are not singers but they make the Hollywood club rounds so therefore we are suppose to believe they are celebrities and everything they do is newsworthy? The only thing that differentiates Kim is that she does have a great body, so I guess this was her calling? (Now picture me looking up at the sky in a ditzy gaze, wondering if I just answered the golden question)



Note to my readers, I dyed my hair dark in the Fall and felt it was appropriate to come clean and change my photo to reveal my brunette locks. I am still the same Diet Diva, and it feels to good admit I am no longer a blonde!
