"Happy Halloween!" Simpson tweeted beneath a photo in which she poses as a seriously sexy milkmaid with teased-out pigtails, heavy makeup, short lace skirt, boots -- and a tight leather corset that emphasizes her famous cleavage and, yes, a noticeably slimmed-down waist. At her side for the adorable family portrait is daughter Maxwell Drew, 6 months, in a chicken costume, held by proud papa Eric Johnson (Simpson's fiancé) dressed in what appears to be a Scottish Braveheart getup.

It was Halloween 2011 that Simpson confirmed her suspected pregnancy with another talked-about Halloween costume: A mummy ensemble that emphasized her baby bump. "It's true . . . I'm going to be a mummy!"

Nicole Kidman is one lucky lady!

As the actress, 45, continues shooting Grace of Monaco (playing the late Grace Kelly) in Monaco and the south of France, her husband Keith Urban and their two young daughters are getting some luxurious R & R.

On Friday, Kidman's husband of six years Urban hit the hotel pool in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, France wearing tiny, Speedo-style men's bikini briefs -- which put the 45-year-old country singer's buff, toned bod on full display. Urban's eldest daughter, 4-year-old Sunday Rose, was also spotted frolicking nearby.

Urban is Kidman's second husband -- and shares more in common with her first, Tom Cruise, than fans might assume.

Kidman told Harper's Bazaar recently that she's attracted to "a bigger, stronger personality; that's what I've been drawn to. I need protection. Everyone wants to feel someone's got their back."

< /p>

Of Urban, with whom she also shares daughter Faith, 22 months: "He just gave me confidence through just being very kind to me and understanding me. Opening me up to trying things, my sexuality, those sorts of things."

Adam Levine Defends Christina Aguilera's Weight: "It's No One's Business"

They may fight like brother and sister on The Voice, but when push comes to shove, Adam Levine will always have Christina Aguilera's back -- especially when she's the subject of relentless scrutiny about her fluctuating weight.

Speaking to reporters during a Q&A in New York City Oct. 26, the 33-year-old Maroon 5 frontman said Aguilera's body critics should "grow up" and stop bullying her.

"The one thing about the culture right now, celebrity culture particularly, is people feel like they can just say nasty things about other people, whether it's Christina or whether it's me," the "One More Night" singer said (via E! News). "She gets a lot and it pisses me off. Of course I have her back and of course I defend her."

"It's not cool. I've never liked it," he said of celebrity bullying. "I think it's horrible and I'll totally defend her when people say things like that because it's no one 's business."

Levine also dispelled rumors that he and Aguilera, 31, have an ongoing behind-the-scenes feud. "The fights that everyone thought we were having were fictional," the rock star said. "We never hated each other."

How Madonna Maintains Her Age-Defying Physique

Ever wonder what it takes to get Madonna's bangin' body? Drive, determination, and fitness guru Nicole Winhoffer.

Winhoffer is the woman behind the pop icon's super-sculpted physique. As Madonna's very own personal trainer, she works out with the 54-year-old singer every day, accompanies her on world tours, and even trains her backup dancers. She also serves as the creative director for Madonna's ultra-luxe Hard Candy Fitness gyms around the world.

Us Weekly caught up with the classically trained dancer to get a few of the workout secrets she employs to train the Queen of Pop.

The most important part of Madonna's exercise routine isn't even exercise, Winhoffer says. It's commitment to exercise. To get a body like the one the "Give Me All Your Luvin" singer has been sporting on her MDNA tour, you have to work out five or six times a week.

"It's hard work, but make time and put in 110 percent and you will see results," the trainer says.

It's also good to set goals. "When you're specific about what you are reaching toward, you will get what you want," Winhoffer explains, adding that she and the mother of four focus on burning fat, lifting the derriere, cinching the waist, toning the arms, and trimming the thighs. "Practice makes perfect. Concentrating on your goals will lead them to you. Believe in yourself and work at it."

And don't give up if certain moves feel difficult -- they're supposed to!

"It's not what you are doing but how you are doing it. Sweating is a direct result of performance -- it means you are doing it right," the fitness expert advises. "Pay attention to the exercise, what muscles you are working, how it feels, and if it challenges you. Do the things that are challenging, and break through the obstacles."

Winhoffer also suggests turning up the heat a little -- literally. Heat and humidity in your workout space helps to warm your muscles, detoxify your body, increase blood flow and oxygen through your system, and enhance endurance.

Lastly, the trainer adds, try to mix things up from time to time. Don't let your routine become too routine.

"The only constant thing is change," she says. "Your workouts should be diversified to challenge the mind and body. If your mind and body are not challenged, you won't see results."

PICTURE: Jessica Simpson Shows Off 60-Pound Weight Loss While Leaving the Gym

Work it out, Jess!

Jessica Simpson showed off her slim, toned legs in Los Angeles Thursday, Oct. 25 while leaving the gym. The new mom styled short, black shorts, a gray Yale sweatshirt and big shades after her workout.

With the help of Weight Watchers PointsPlus program and four-times-a-week training sessions with celebrity trainer Harley Pasternak, Simpson, 32, has already lost 60 of the 70 pounds she gained during pregnancy.

Since welcoming daughter Maxwell Drew six months ago with fiance Eric Johnson, the first-time mom has slowly been losing the baby weight. "She's so focused and determined," her Weight Watchers leader Liz Josefsberg tells the new issue of Us Weekly, out now. "She's very brave to do this in a healthy, more realistic way."

Although Simpson was all smiles Thursday, her parents Joe and Tina Simpson confirmed to Us Wednesday that they filed for divorce late last month after 34 years of marriage.

"It is an amicable split and there is no third party involved. Any other related allegations are completely false," a family rep told Us. "The family appreciates your respect for their privacy at this time."

Meanwhile, for all of the details on Simpson's body struggle, her daily diet, workout techniques -- and how she fights the haters! -- pick up the new Us Weekly, on stands Friday, Oct. 26.

Cheryl Cole: Stop Calling Me Fat -- I'm a Size 6!

Cheryl Cole is tired of being teased about her weight.

The Girls Aloud singer, 29, speaks candidly with the December issue of Glamour UK about being targeted online by vicious cyber bullies.

"You can't call someone who's a size 6 fat. An average woman is a size 10 to 12, so if you're calling me fat because I'm a size 6, and I have never ever been bigger than an 8, you're causing women some serious issues," Cheryl says. "When you're on the receiving end of it, it's nothing short of bullying in the workplace."

The British pop superstar also opens up about the demise of her four-year marriage to soccer player Ashley Cole, who famously cheated on her with multiple women. (The couple's divorce was finalized on Sept. 3, 2010.)

"I'm not unlucky in love or anything else," Cheryl asserts. "And I'm absolutely not a victim. I'm strong, happy and settled -- and I really don't give a s--t any more."

The X Factor UK judge admits it was initially hard to date other men after her split with the athlete, 31. "It takes a long time after you've been with someone as long as I was not to feel like you're cheating on them. That may sound crazy, but it's the way I felt after him. I had completely committed myself."

Cheryl is currently in a relationship with backup dancer Tre Holloway. "Dating someone who's not in the industry can be difficult, but dating someone in the limelight has its own problems," she tells Glamour UK of her not-so-famous beau. "Everything is intensified. If I fell in love with a [garbage man] I'd be happy. but if I fell in love some really famous man, I feel like that would belong to the media."

Halle Berry's Hot Body Secrets Revealed!

Halle Berry just keeps getting hotter.

At 46, the Cloud Atlas actress and mom to 4-year-old Nahla still has one of the most enviable bodies in Hollywood.

"Halle's body looks 10 years younger, at least," trainer Nat Bardonnet told Us of the star's taut tummy and long, lean legs. "She's an inspiration!"

Some of that, of course, is just good genes. But as Bardonnet revealed in the Oct. 29 issue of Us Weekly, Berry also works hard for her body. The busy actress sweats it out with the pro four days a week in hourlong sessions that include squats, leg raises, lunges, and pushups.

Recently, the hot bride-to-be -- she and French actor Olivier Martinez announced their engagement in April -- has also been boosting her routine with a combination of cardio and weights.

"For the past two and a half months, she's been doing very intense, 30-minute cros s-training workouts to shock her body," Bardonnet told Us. "It's responding well!"

Indeed it is. But health starts from the inside out, so to fuel up between sweat sessions and keep her metabolism in check, Berry chows down on five small meals a day -- often salads, fish, and soups.

"Cardio is important but nutrition is key," Bardonnet advised. "To look like [Halle], cut sugar, flour, and cheese to twice a week."

Mad Men Stars Jon Hamm, Jessica Pare Show Off Beach Bods in Hawaii

Turns out Don Draper looks just as dapper out of his suit and tie as he does in them.

Mad Men star Jon Hamm and his on-screen wife Jessica Pare (a.k.a. Megan) hit the beach in Hawaii recently to film scenes for the AMC hit's Season 6 premiere.

Pare, 29, showed off her incredible shape in a retro print triangle top and matching bikini bottoms; her character's ad exec love, 41, sported red swim trunks.

Mad Men fans are eager for even the littlest bit of info regarding what's in store for Don, Megan, Joan and the rest of the gang as the show enters its sixth season. So far, though, show runner Matthew Weiner insists on remaining tight-lipped -- even with his stars.

Vincent Kartheiser (who plays Pete Campbell) told Details mag recently that the cast is, for the most part, kept in the dark about the direction the show's headed.

"You never know which characters are or aren't going to come back, you never know where you're gonna be, you never know what year it's going to be," he explained. "We know as much as everyone else, which is absolutely nothing. And to be honest, I like it that way!"

PICTURE: Kim Kardashian Flaunts Curves in Bra, Sweatpants

Most people don't want anyone to see them when they're lounging around the house in sweats. But Kim Kardashian is not most people.

The reality star, 32, continued her trend of sharing revealing self-portraits when she put up an Instagrammed photo of herself wearing nothing but a black bra and grey sweatpants slung low around her hips to emphasize her famous curves.

"I just wanna chill in my sweats all day!" she wrote of the snapshot, posted Wednesday, Oct. 24.

The dressed-down look is in stark contrast with Kardashian's other outfits this week. Mingling with guests at the Angel Ball in NYC Monday night, the reality star looked fashionably dressed to impress in a plunging cobalt blue gown with two thigh-high slits. And on Sunday, Oct. 21 -- her 32nd birthday -- she donned a bridal-inspired white lace dress for a romantic dinner with beau Kanye West, 35, in Venice, Italy.

The rappe r, who has his own clothing line, has had a major effect on his girlfriend's fashion sense. Earlier this year, he encouraged her to throw out her entire wardrobe and let him make over her closet. And last week, Kardashian herself admitted on her blog that she "always dress[es] cooler" when her man is around.

Ireland Baldwin, 16, Models Bikini Bod for Mom Kim Basinger

Ireland Baldwin turns 17 this Thursday, Oct. 25 -- and her famous mom Kim Basinger can't get over how her little girl is growing up!

On a mother-daughter getaway in Hawaii, the Oscar-winning actress, 58, hit the beach with her only child with ex-husband Alec Baldwin. While Basinger (who famously bared all in 9 1/2 Weeks) stayed covered up in sweats, her daughter -- looking more and more like her stunning blonde mom -- showed off her figure in a pink bikini top and black bikini bottoms.

With her iPhone camera at the ready, Basinger made sure to capture the fun vacation moment, taking snaps of her daughter frolicking on the sand and surf -- and even doing cartwheels!

Praising her famous parents to Page Six Magazine in September, Ireland said her mom and dad, 54, "worked hard and are inspirational to me. I never want anything handed to me."

Divorcing Basinger back in 2002 after nine years of marriage, 30 Rock actor Baldwin remarried this past June to NYC yoga instructor Hilaria Thomas.

"I've always had a great relationship with my dad," Ireland said, "And Hilaria and I are really close. She's like a big sister to me, but I feel like I haven't spent enough time with her yet," she said of her stepmom, 28. "I respect her, it's not like I'm Parent Trap-ping her, setting up booby traps in her room."

Her teen cousin Alaia Baldwin (whose dad is Stephen Baldwin) also told the mag: "No matter how much you think you understand a Baldwin, you really don't unless you are one. Ireland and I are pretty sane for Baldwins."

FIRST PICTURE: Drew Barrymore Shows Off Post-Baby Body Three Weeks After Giving Birth

Looking good, Drew!

Less than one month after welcoming daughter Olive, Drew Barrymore showed off her post-baby body during an Oct. 18 outing with husband Will Kopelman. Casually dressed in cuffed jeans, a graphic sweatshirt and red flats, the actress, 37, strolled alongside her man as they grabbed lunch at Three Pickles in Santa Barbara, Calif.

Though Olive was born on Sept. 26, her proud parents waited until Oct. 1 to announce that they had expanded their family. "We are proud to announce the birth of our daughter, Olive Barrymore Kopelman, born Sept. 26, healthy, happy and welcomed by the whole family," the couple told Us Weekly in a statement at the time. "Thank you for respecting our privacy during this most special time in our lives."

Tying the knot June 2 at her Montecito, Calif., estate, Barrymore hopes to to have more children with her art consultant spouse, 35.

"We'll start with one," the Big Miracle star told Jay Leno in February. "See how it goes and if we could be so blessed . . . that would be wonderful."

Megan Fox Models Skimpy Lingerie While Four Months Pregnant!

Megan Fox can make anything look sexy -- even electronics.

The 26-year-old actress donned two skimpy lingerie looks for Sharper Image's new holiday campaign -- and Us Weekly has a behind-the-scenes look at the sexy photo shoot! The seductive images were taken in April, five months before Fox and her husband, Brian Austin Green, 39, welcomed son Noah.

"I have always been a bit of a gadget geek and into different types of technology," Fox says in a statement. "The campaign is a good fit for me because I love electronics."

Fox first appeared in ads for Sharper Image in the spring of 2012.

The Friends With Kids star kept a low-profile in the months after her Sharper Image photo shoot, spending time in California as she awaited the arrival of her firstborn. (Fox is also stepmom to Kassius, Green's 10-year-old son from his previous relationship with actress Vanessa Marcil.)

Fox announced her son's arrival via Facebook October 17 -- 20 days after she gave birth. "We have been very lucky to have had a peaceful few weeks at home, but I would like to release this myself before others do," she wrote. "He is healthy, happy, and perfect. We are humbled to have the opportunity to call ourselves the parents of this beautiful soul and I am forever grateful to God for allowing me to know this kind of boundless, immaculate love."

Added Fox, "Thanks to those of you who wish to send your positive energy and well wishes. May God bless you and your families abundantly."

Fox next stars in the comedy This Is 40, in theaters December 21. It also star Paul Rudd, Leslie Mann, Jason Segel and Melissa McCarthy.

Curvy Christina Aguilera Offered $3 Million to Promote Plus-Size Dating Site

Christina Aguilera's voluptuous bod could mean a big payday for the former Disney Mouseketeer.

TMZ reports that the shapely "Your Body" singer, 31, has been offered $3 million to be the spokesperson for TheBigAndTheBeautiful.com, a dating service "specifically designed for women with curves."

According to a letter to Aguilera's rep from site president Whitney Thompson, the first-ever plus-size winner of America's Next Top Model, Xtina is a great example of the company's "beauty at any size" ideal.

"I have been following Ms. Aguilera's career and feel she would be a perfect fit as the new face of the brand," Thompson, 25, writes.

In exchange for the $3 million, the letter states, Aguilera would be expected to participate in one television commercial, one radio spot, two photo shoots, and four public appearances in which she endorses The Big and the Beautiful. Additionally, she wou ld agree to put her Grammy-winning talents to work on a new site jingle.

Aguilera -- who has been dating production assistant Matthew Rutler, 27, since late 2010 -- has yet to comment on the offer. But she's been plenty vocal in the past about embracing her fluctuating figure.

Speaking at a TCA press conference earlier this year, the songstress said of her body: "I've been on all spectrums. You can never be too perfect, too thin, too curvy, too voluptuous...As long as I'm happy in my own skin, that's all I need...I have a boyfriend who loves my body. I love my body. My soon is healthy and happy. That's all that matters."

She exhibited even more self-assurance in the October issue of Lucky. "The challenge I've always had is being too thin, so I love that now I have a booty," the Voice mentor told the magazine. "And, obviously, I love showing my cleavage...if you can work it and you can own it, that confidence is going to shine through."

NEW PICTURE: Jessica Simpson Shows Off Leaner Legs in Black Shorts During L.A. Outing

Jessica's retail therapy!

As she slims down, new mom Jessica Simpson is bound to need new clothing, and on Saturday, the singer and Weight Watchers spokeswoman headed to Saks to nab designer duds with a pal.

Dressed in head-to-toe black, Simpson, 32, showed off her sexy, toned legs in barely-there short shorts. Toting an oversized black and tan handbag, Simpson teetered on sky-high T-strap platform heels during her outing in Los Angeles.

Saturday's shopping trip was no doubt a welcome respite for Simpson, who recently headed back to work as a mentor on NBC's Fashion Star. "Long day at work. Too lazy to wash my face off before bed," the Jessica Simpson Collection designer tweeted in the wee hours of Saturday morning, along with an image of herself in bed still wearing makeup.

Since welcoming daughter Maxwell Drew Johnson with fiance Eric Johnson in May, Simpson has logged countles s hours in the gym in order to snap back into pre-baby shape. Following Weight Watchers' point-counting system, Simpson has seen results -- though not as quickly as she had hoped.

"I'm not a supermodel. My body is not bouncing back like a supermodel. I'm just your everyday woman who is trying to feel good and be healthy for her daughter, her fiance and herself," Simpson has said. "I feel like everybody can do what I am doing."

Slimmer Tyler Perry: "I'm Laying Off the Donuts!"

Fans of Tyler Perry's Madea film franchise may not recognize the actor/director in his newest role -- and not just because he plays a man.

The 6-foot-6, 225-pound star underwent a major physical transformation to turn himself into an action hero for the movie Alex Cross, based on James Patterson's best-selling crime novels. In addition to cardio and weight-training, he took up the Israeli martial art Krav Maga and completely made over his diet, swapping Cajun favorites like dirty rice and pork chops for leaner proteins like grilled chicken and ground turkey. The result? A 30-pound weight loss.

Perry opened up to Us Weekly about his new physique on the red carpet for the Cinema Society's screening of Alex Cross at New York's Tribeca Grand Hotel Thursday night.

"I knew I was going to do the best I [could]," he said, when asked whether he ever worried he wouldn't g et in shape in time for the film. "I don't put that kind of pressure on myself...I do the absolute best I can do. I wanted to be 20 pounds lighter than I was, but it is what it is."

The only thing that almost scared him off from the project was the fact that Morgan Freeman had played Alex Cross before him, in Kiss the Girls and Along Came a Spider.

"I walked away from [the role] because Morgan Freeman had done it, and I did not want to go after Morgan Freeman, because that man is brilliant," he explained. "I mean, the man played God! But then as I read James' description, I realized he was basically describing me...so then I thought, 'This is it.'"

Now, he said, "I just feel really confident. I feel good."

He feels so good, in fact, that he has continued the grueling diet and exercise regimen he started before the film.

"The Krav Maga really helps to keep [the weight] off," the 43-ye ar-old actor told Us. "And I'm laying off the donuts."

His one weakness?

"It's cognac," he revealed. "I like a nice glass of cognac in the evening. That's hard to give up."

Whoa! Kate Bosworth Shows Off Tiny Waist, Flat Abs in Cropped Top

Kate Bosworth isn't afraid to show a little skin -- for the sake of her craft, at least.

The 29-year-old actress donned a striped, cropped tee on the New Orleans set of her new film, Homefront, Thursday, revealing her teeny, tiny waist and toned stomach. (The rest of her outfit was just as casual as the cotton tee she wore -- Bosworth also sported minimal makeup, jeans and a brown leather belt.)

During her downtime on set, Bosworth visited with her fiance, director Michael Polish, who popped the question earlier this summer with an impressive, square-cut bauble.

The pair, who met on the set of Big Sur (out later this year), first made their debut as a couple at a Coldplay concert in August 2011. One year later, Bosworth quietly confirmed their engagement, referring to Polish, 41, as her "fiance" in a blog post for Vogue.

A few weeks later, however, the blonde beauty took to her W hoSay page to properly share their happy news -- and show off her engagement bling.

"Thank you for all the wonderful engagement wishes," she wrote. "We feel truly blessed."

Pink Flaunts 55-Pound Post-Baby Weight Loss, Amazing Abs on Cover of Shape

Goodbye, baby weight. Hello, abs!

It may be hard to believe, but Pink swears she gained 55 pounds during pregnancy! The 33-year-old singer welcomed daughter Willow with husband Carey Hart in June 2011, and after indulging during pregnancy she hit the gym hard after giving birth.

Pink proudly flashes her flat, toned abs on the November cover of Shape magazine in black underwear, bra and a see-through tank top.

"I ate a lot of cheesecake during my pregnancy," she says. "Also anything sour—Sour Skittles, Sour Patch Kids, key lime pie..." But after waiting a few months to let her body recover from giving birth, she had celebrity trainers Jillian Michaels and Jeannette Jenkins get her back into shape.

"They both kicked my butt more than any other person I've ever worked out with," Pink explains of Biggest Loser's Michae ls, 38, and Jenkins, the president of the Hollywood Trainer fitness company. And after losing the weight, Pink boasts she's now in the best shape of her life.

The first-time mom shared her jaw-dropping magazine cover on Twitter Thursday with her fans. Proud trainer, Jenkins, responded, "Hottie alert!"

Pink replied, "Thanks to you! X."

While she had to work hard to drop the weight, The "Raise Your Glass" singer loves motherhood and can't get enough of her baby girl.

"I'm so in love with Willow," Pink says. "I'm totally smitten!"

PIC: Demi Moore Looks Thin, Radiant at Rare Post-Rehab Appearance in NYC

Looking good, Demi!

Nearly one year after they announced their split -- following his infamous affair -- Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher's divorce proceedings are dragging on. And Moore, 49, has kept an extremely low-profile for much of 2012 following her January meltdown and subsequent rehab stay.

Little of that stress was apparent on Wednesday night in NYC, when Moore made a rare public appearance at the GEMS Girls Like Us Benefit Gala at El Museo del Barrio.

The Margin Call star looked slim as always, but serene and radiant in a black and nude-toned print cocktail dress that showed off her toned arms and legs. At the event, also attended by star like Arden Wohl, Adepero Oduye, India Arie, Shontelle, Natasha Lyonne, Kevin Geer and Yolonda Ross, Moore took the stage and put on her reading glasses to read an excerpt from "Girls Like Us," a memoir by GEMS' Executive Director Rachel Lloyd a bout her experiences as a sexually exploited girl.

Moore then sat in the audience as ten young women, aged 12-24, shared their experiences about escaping the sex trade industry to acquire educations and establish their careers; Moore smiled and clapped as they shared their stories -- finally hugging each of them when the event was over.

Observers said Moore was "sweet and caring" and "motherly."

As Moore gets her life back on track following her struggles earlier this year, she's "not psyched" about her estranged ex's new romance with That 70s Show costar Mila Kunis, one source told Us Weekly.

"She was always insecure over the course of her marriage," the pal says. "So yeah, it's hurtful that he's with someone he knew the whole time he was with her."

Vanessa Minnillo is one hot mama!

One month after welcoming baby Camden with husband Nick Lachey, the Wipeout hostess and actress showed off her post-baby body while running errands in Los Angeles Wednesday. Meeting friends for lunch, the first-time mom, 31, looked effortlessly chic in a red printed blouse, skinny dark-wash jeans and sandals.

(For his part, Minnillo's husband has outfitted their son with a collection of jerseys from his favorite sports teams, including the Cincinnati Bengals.)

"When I look over and see my husband and my son, my heart melts," Minnillo, who wed her man on Necker Island in July 2011 and gave birth in September 2012, has said. "I am so in love with these two! Count Your Blessings."

Jennie Garth: I Stay Skinny With "Me" Time

Jennie Garth worked hard to get the body she has now -- and she's not about to lose it to laziness. Since dropping an estimated 30 pounds, the former Beverly Hills, 90210 star has made health and fitness a priority.

"Maintaining is just about consistency now," the actress, 40, told Us Weekly at ELLE's Women in Hollywood event in Beverly Hills October 15. "Being so happy and feeling so good about the way I feel and the way I look, I don't want to lose that, so it's about penciling me in every day to my life."

Garth means that literally. To help keep track of her kids' schedules, she jots down appointments in a color-coded calendar. Each color represents a different member of the family.

"Everyone has a color," the slimmed-down star explained. "I have a color now, and it's about my fitness and my well-being."

Finding time in her busy schedule isn't easy, though. Separated from hus band Peter Facinelli since March, Garth has her hands full with three daughters -- Luca, 15, Lola, 9, and Fiona 5 -- and is developing a new sitcom with her former Beverly Hills, 90210 love interest, Luke Perry, 45. But making time for herself is a must.

"You just do it. It's part of your day," she said. "I really encourage women to do that and to look at their day and try to fit in an hour a day somewhere just for themselves."

For Garth, that hour often includes exercise. In addition to outdoor activities like running, hiking, and riding her horse, the 5-foot-5 actress works out three times a week at local gym Cold Iron Barbell. She also maintains a healthy diet.

"I'm just taking care of myself: Eating less, exercising more, drinking a lot of coconut water," she revealed to Us at an event in August. "I eat a lot of Greek yogurt: Greek yogurt in the morning, salads and proteins the rest of t he day, and maybe a cupcake if I've been a good girl. I don't believe in depriving yourself of things you want."

Tyler Perry Unveils 30-Pound Weight Loss on Men's Health Cover

At 225 pounds, Tyler Perry has never looked better.

The multitalented star graces the November cover of Men's Health, where he proudly shows off his 30-pound weight loss in a tight black tee.

"I walk into a room with a lot more confidence. All my life I've tried to hide my height. I was taller than everybody else and stood out, so I would slouch and try to hide it," says Perry, who is 6-foot-6. "But with what I've been able to do with my body, I'm owning it. I'm standing up when I walk into a room."

Perry felt compelled to lose weight when he was cast as the titular homicide detective in the upcoming movie Alex Cross, based on the best-selling James Patterson novels. The Georgia resident's hourlong morning circuits included cardio, body-weight moves, and free-weight and cable work. Perry spent his afternoons practicing Krav Maga, an Israeli martial art.

The 43-year-old actor, director and screenwriter also modified his diet, swapping pork chops and dirty rice for grilled chicken breasts and ground turkey chili. "Now, I feel like it's okay to be thought of as sexy," the slimmed-down star says.

In addition to being in the best shape of his life, Perry -- who created the successful Madea film franchise -- is succeeding professionally, too.

"I've worked my entire life to get to this place," he tells Men's Health. "The first 28 years of my life, it was hell and misery. Now I can do whatever I want. I don't want any drama; I don't want to argue; I don't want to answer to anybody. I've worked too hard to get here, and I'm loving this freedom."

Nina Dobrev: "Starving to Be Skinny Isn't My Thing"

Nina Dobrev may be pin thin, but it's not because she's diet obsessed.

"Starving to be skinny isn't my thing. When I don't eat, it affects my mood," the Vampire Diaries actress, 23, tells the November issue of Self. "On-set, I fuel up with small meals and I'm always grabbing high-protein snacks, like almonds. Chai lattes with espresso also keep me going."

Dobrev also recently purchased an ice cream maker, so she's "been making coconut-milk ice cream topped with shredded coconut." The self-proclaimed health nut eats organic foods, "but I also enjoy eating at restaurants and, recently, cooking. I love having dinner parties at my place in Atlanta, where we film."

The Bulgarian beauty also exercises regularly because it provides "endorphins and energy," Dobrev says. "I do it four days a week. I spin with Candice Accola and Claire Holt from t he show. Running is my solo time; working my muscles outside in fresh air is therapeutic."

VIDEO: Nina Dobrev tells Us why playing two vampires is a "challenge"

Dobrev also credits yoga with reshaping her body. "It tones everything and leans you out. Dancer's pose is amazing. It works every muscle," the starlet raves. "And you have to focus. If your mind is somewhere else, you'll fall. If you can't quiet your mind, try downward dog. It makes you concentrate on your breath, which resets you."

Needless to say, the 5-foot-6 star is pleased with her looks. "I have a flat tummy, but I'm not rock hard. If I'm going to be in a bikini, I'll train more and skip desserts for a couple of weeks," Dobrev tells Self. "But usually, I work out to feel good."

Kate Gosselin on Her Face: I "De-Age"

What's the secret to Kate Gosselin's youthful appearance? It's not a much-buzzed about facelift, as the 37-year-old single mom of eight explains.

"I am probably one of the rare few who de-age," Gosselin -- who welcomed sextuplets in 2004 -- told Bravo's Andy Cohen during an appearance last week on Watch What Happens Live. Cohen wondered aloud about Gosselin's potential enhancement after he showed off a "vintage" picture of Gosselin famously taken three days after she welcomed her babies with ex-husband Jon.

Calling the period shortly after giving birth to Aaden, Collin, Joel, Leah, Alexis and Hannah, now 8, "the roughest time ever," former TLC reality star Gosselin reasoned that after having six babies at once, "you have to get better, right? You can't get worse than that." (Her sextuplets joined twins Cara and Maddy, now 12.)

Though she played coy on WWHL about recent cosmetic enhancements, sources tell Us Weekly Gosselin -- who got a tummy tuck in 2007 and breast implants in 2009 -- frequently enjoys tanning sessions and even gave herself a dose of Botox injections.

A busy mom tending to her kids as they return to school this fall, the Pennsylvania-based CouponCabin.com blogger admitted to Cohen that she's not in a relationship -- and definitely not dating her bodyguard. "I'm single! Still [and] always," Gosselin demurred on WWHL, laughing off that reports that she was coupled up with long time bodyguard Steve Neild.

"Because [in] my job as a single parent to provide for eight kids, my safety is imperative to them," Gosselin said, justifying Neild's constant presence. "I'm not going to give out [past horror] stories, but it's warranted for sure. He keeps them safe."

Reese Witherspoon Re-Emerges, Gives Glimpse of Post-Baby Bod After Son Tennessee's Birth!

Tennessee's mama is almost ready for her post-baby closeup!

Reese Witherspoon was photographed in Santa Monica on Monday Oct. 15 -- the first time the Oscar winning actress, 37, has been snapped since giving birth to son Tennessee James Sept. 27.

For her low-key sojourn, the Devil's Knot star kept it casual in sunglasses, a baggy black sweater, cuffed jeans and ballet flats.

Witherspoon's first child with husband of a year and a half Jim Toth, Tennessee James joins siblings Ava, 13, and Deacon, 8, the star's kids with ex-husband Ryan Phillippe. "She knew early on she was having a boy," a source told Us of the boy named after her home state.

"The kids met the baby the first day at the hospital," the insider said. "Deacon is excited to have a brother, and Ava can't wait to babysit."

Another babysitter at the ready is Tennessee's maternal grandmother, Witherspoon's mom Betty, who traveled from Nashville and is living in a rented apartment near the family's home in L.A.'s Brentwood area. "She'll help Reese take care of the baby, along with a nanny," explained the source.

NEW PICS: Matthew McConaughey Looks Unrecognizable, Alarmingly Gaunt Leaving Gym

He's half the man he used to be.

Matthew McConaughey looked like a skeletal shadow of himself jogging outside a gym in Austin, Tex. on Friday. In several layers of workout clothes, the actor, 42, looked alarmingly gaunt and haggard -- even more than than he did just five days earlier on a stroll with his mother, Mary.

As previously reported, the usually muscular star's body transformation is all for an important new film role in The Dallas Buyer's Club, which tells the real-life story of Ron Woodruff, a drug addict in 1980s-era Texas who contracts HIV, and became one of the first AIDS activitists.

 "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 in August of playing Woodruff, who launched one of the first-ever AIDS support groups.

Eating " small amounts" of high-protein, low-carb food, the star told Us "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."

Still, despite the star's commitment to his craft -- he's lost about 30 pounds -- a recent online poll at Us Weekly suggested that most fans think he's gone too far: With 90 percent of nearly 18,000 votes expressing concern for McConaughey. Tell Us: Do you think he's gone too far?

Mindy Kaling: "I'd Love to Lose 15 Pounds," But I Can't!

In an ideal world, Mindy Kaling says she would love "to lose 15 pounds and exercise five to seven times a week."

But for the forseeable future, exercising regularly is low on Kaling's priority list. As the star, creator and executive producer of Fox's The Mindy Project, the 33-year-old doesn't have much time to squeeze in daily workouts. "I get to work at 6 a.m.," she tells USA Weekend. "I'm in virtually every scene. We wrap at 7 p.m. and then I stay in the writers' room until 2 a.m."

Because of her jam-packed schedule, "I've recently realized that in order to keep my energy up, I had to start eating better," The Office alum says. "It's not just for weight loss. I love candy and pizza, but they actually make me very tired. I need to be alert."

Kaling admits that while she loves "reading about diets," she's "learned they're difficult to implement. I eat like an Olympic swimmer, but I also like go ing on long, luxurious runs."

VIDEO: Mindy Kaling chats with Us about women in comedy

"When I'm not in production, I go for jogs five to six days a week," she adds. "There's a history of heart attacks on my father's side of the family, so I do think about cardiovascular health. I'm an avid slow jogger. I always hesitate to go on runs with my friends because my pace is so slow. I'm talking about an 11-minute mile over an hour and a half."

Cooking healthy meals -- or any meals at all, for that matter -- is nearly impossible, given that the comedy star doesn't "own any pots and pans."

Still, "I feel there's a really talented cook inside me," Kaling muses. "I feel I'd be a natural -- the way that people look at sports figures and say, 'I could swim like that, but I don't have the time.'"

Fergie's Trainer: How to Get A-List Legs

Want sexy, toned legs like Fergie?

Celebrity fitness trainer Natasha Kufa shared with Us Weekly how to get it! Kufa, author of The 10% Rule: Small Changes, Big Results, has three exercises she recommends to get A-list legs fast.

1. Resistance Band Lifts

"You can use resistance bands or the weights that go around your ankle for this workout. You want to lie on your right side, perched on your right arm with a resistance band looped around both your ankles. You feet will be stacked one on top of the other. You will raise your right leg toward the ceiling, feeling the resistance in the outer thigh. Hold briefly, and return to the start position under control. You should feel this in your thighs. Try doing a twenty count on each side." 

2. Kettelbell Walking Lunges

"Walking lunges using a kettlebell. You want to use a light kettleball ab out three to five pounds. Stand straight up with your feet shoulder width apart holding one kettlebell. Step forward and lower your body into a lunge, with your rear leg barely touching the floor. Make sure you take a big enough step so that the knee does not travel past the toe. Pass off the kettlebell into the opposite hand through your legs and then repeat. You want to do three sets of 15 one way and then turn around and go in the opposite direction. Passing the kettlebell from hand to hand makes it much more challenging."

3. Plie Squat 

"This is a fun one. The plie is like a classic ballerina move. Turning your toes out targets the inner thigh muscles. Grasp a dumbell with both hands and stand with your feet shoulder-width apart. Squat down, a s if you were about to sit in a chair and tighten those muscles. Hold for 5 seconds and return to starting point. Repeat for three sets of 12 without stopping. These exercises added to your daily routine will tone and tighten your legs. You should see results in four weeks."

Whoa! See Matthew McConaughey's Scary, Three-Month Slimdown

At least nobody can accuse him of not showing enough commitment to his craft.

Matthew McConaughey has been working hard to slim down to play AIDS activist Ron Woodruff in the upcoming Dallas Buyer's Club -- and his shocking, gaunt new look has some fans wondering if he's taken his efforts a little too far.

On Sunday, the 42-year-old star, who has reportedly lost 30 pounds so far for the role, recently caused a stir when he stepped out in Austin, Texas looking emaciated alongside his mom, Mary.

McConaughey's movie makeover has been both dramatic and rapid: In July, the Magic Mike actor posed on the red carpet alongside his new wife Camila Alves, looking his usual fit self. One month later, the star's newly-bony torso was on display during a mid-August trip to Ibiza, Spain, and since then, McConaughey has continued his intense quest to shed weight.

On August 15, the Lincoln Lawyer actor opened up to Us Weekly at an NYC event about his approach to the ultra-dramatic role.

"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," he explained, adding that he's been eating "small amounts" of high-protein, low-carbohydrate food. "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."

The Dallas Buyers Club, due out in 2013, tells the real life story of Ron Woodruff, a drug addict in 1980s Dallas, Texas who contracts HIV. Woodruff began smuggling potentially life-saving drugs across the Mexi can border, and is credited with launching one of the first AIDS support groups.

Hot! Kelly Osbourne Shows Off Slim Bikini Bod in Hawaii Before Brother Jack's Wedding

Pre-wedding pool party?

Kelly Osbourne, her boyfriend Matthew Mosshart, her brother Jack and her seven-month-old niece Pearl hung out in the water at their Hawaii hotel Saturday, one day before Jack's nuptials to Lisa Stelly. (A rep for Ozzy and Sharon's son confirmed to Us Weekly Monday that the former reality star had indeed tied the knot over the weekend.)

Clad in a strappy, neon green two-piece, Kelly, 27, showed off her slim bikini body as she swam alongside her loved ones.

The Fashion Police host first debuted her incredible, 65-pound weight loss after her 2009 Dancing With the Stars stint. Though she's managed to keep the weight off ever since, as she admitted to Glamour earlier this year, Osbourne won't ever think of herself as a "skinny" girl.

"I call myself a FFP: former fat person," Os bourne explained back in April. "And when you're an FFP, you will always see in yourself what people used to bully you for."

As she's gotten older, though, Osbourne revealed she's also gotten better at tuning out her critics' harsh words.

"If you're still hanging around people who are going to put you down, you need to stop and reevaluate your friends and move on," she asserted. "You don't need those kinds of people in your life."

The former Victoria's Secret stunner hopes that by publicly celebrating her flaws, young girls will feel empowered to do the same. "My main mission is to get girls to realize their inner and outer beauty and have high self-esteem with both," Banks explained.

With just weeks to go until her 32nd birthday, Kim Kardashian is determined to look good as she turns a year older.

In Florida to film her E! spinoff Kourtney and Kim Take Miami, Kardashian hit a local beach on Wednesday to fit in a workout in the sand. Doing a set of lunges with careful form, Kardashian showed off her curves in a body-hugging black tank top and leggings. The star -- who pulled back her hair into a sleek ponytail -- wore black wide-rimmed glasses as she worked out.

"You have to really know your body. Everyone has a body part that they don't like and want to conceal, and something that they like and want to show off. So it's all about knowing what you want to show," Kardashian -- no stranger to rocking curve-hugging bikinis -- recently told Prestige Hong Kong.

Serving as a spokeswoman for diet supplement QuickTrim, Kardashian - - who famously lost 10 pounds in 10 days ahead of a family vacation in March -- says she has put more of a focus on fitness in 2012.

"No more sitting at home, eating too much!" Kanye West's girlfriend told Us Weekly earlier this year. "I'm on a mission . . . Now is the best time to get in shape."

Actor Ron Livingston "Proud" of Sister Jennifer Livingston

Wisconsin TV journalist Jennifer Livingston drew national attention October 2 when she fought back against a WKBT News 8 viewer who criticized her weight, and now her brother, actor Ron Livingston, is leaping to the defense of his "role model" sibling.

"My sister Jennifer is an Emmy winning journalist and mother of three amazing girls," the Sex and the City actor said in a statement. "She brings an exceptional dedication to her job, her family, and her community, and has been a role model of mine for many, many years. I'm extremely proud of her."

Reading a letter she received from the disgruntled viewer -- now identified as Kenneth Krause -- on the air, Jennifer argued that Krause "[is] not a part of my family and . . . know nothing about me but what you see on the outside. And I am much more than a number on the scale."

After Jennifer admonished Krause for his bullying, the viewer followed-up wi th a statement to WKBT. ". . . Considering Jennifer Livingston's fortuitous position in the community, I hope she will finally take advantage of a rare and golden opportunity to influence the health and psychological well-being of [the community] by transforming herself for all of her viewers to see over the next year," his statement read in part. Krause, a fitness enthusiast, also offered Jennifer "any advice or support she would be willing to accept."

Jennifer's brother Ron -- who appeared as Sarah Jessica Parker's SATC love interest Berger in 2003 -- wasn't the only one to offer words of support to the anchor.

"What a powerful message against bullying," Ellen DeGeneres tweeted after Jennifer's story went viral. "@news8jennifer, I would love to meet you in person."

Jennifer Love Hewitt, who has also faced public scrutiny over her weight, called the journalist beautiful. " The anchor who fought back against comments made about her is my new hero!" Hewitt tweeted. "Way to go! She's a beautiful woman!"

America Ferrera: I've Wasted Too Much Time "on Diets and What I Look Like"

America Ferrera is tired of trying to become someone she's not.

In the Fall/Winter 2012 issue of Cosmopolitan for Latinas, the Emmy Award  winner opens up about the pressure to look like her peers in Hollywood. "More often than not, I hate photos shoots and I hate being on the red carpet," says Ferrera, married to actor/director Ryan Piers Williams, 31, since June 2011. "I don't think I'm very well equipped for the scrutiny or the pressure to be perfect, and I don't think anyone really is."

With low self-esteem, Ferrera admits it's hard to accept compliments.

"People are saying 'We love you and love what you do,' and you're sitting there thinking, 'I'm not skinny enough or pretty enough,' " the 28-year-old End of Watch actress says. "It's taken a lot of work to get over that."

Ferrera -- who hit it big when she played the titular role in ABC's Ugly Betty in 2006 -- is happier than ever with her curves. The star says she hopes to inspire young women to focus more on their accomplishments and less on their appearances.

"How much time have I wasted on diets and what I look like? Take your time and your talent and figure out what you have to contribute to this world," Ferrera says, "and get over what the hell your butt looks like in those jeans!"

Wisconsin TV Journalist Jennifer Livingston Fights Weight Criticism

Jennifer Livingston has gone from reporting the news to becoming the news.

The WKBT News 8 anchor received a letter from disgruntled viewer Kenneth W. Krause, which Livingston read aloud on TV October 2. "It's unusual that I see your morning show, but I did so for a very short time today," Livingston quoted Krause as saying. "I was surprised indeed to witness that your physical condition hasn't improved for many years. Surely you don't consider yourself a suitable example for this community's young people, girls in particular."

Krause continued, "Obesity is one of the worst choices a person can make and one of the most dangerous habits to maintain. I leave you this note hoping that you'll reconsider your responsibility as a local public personality to present and promote a healthy lifestyle."

Wisconsin-based Livingston then addressed Krause directly, telling viewers, "The truth is, I am overweigh t. You could call me fat, even obese, on a doctor's chart. But, to the person who wrote me that letter, do you think I don't know that? That your cruel words are pointing out something I don't see?"

"You don't know me. You are not a friend of mine," Livingston continued. "You are not a part of my family and you have admitted that you don't watch this show, so you know nothing about me but what you see on the outside. And I am much more than a number on a scale."

Livingston, a married mother-of-three, received words of encouragement from other viewers on WKBT's Facebook page. She also received support from Ellen DeGeneres, 54, via Twitter. "What a powerful message against bullying," the comedienne told Livingston. "I would love to meet you in person."

During her on-air response, Livingston also reminded viewers that October is National Anti-Bullying Month. "That man's words mean nothing to me. But what really angers me about this is there are children who don't know better, who get e-mails as critical as the one I received -- or in many cases, even worse -- each and every day," she said. "Learn from my experience that the cruel words of one are nothing compared to the shouts of many."

Wow! Kristin Cavallari Debuts Skinny Post-Baby Bod on Red Carpet

Nice job, K-Cavs!

Although Kristin Cavallari has been snapped out and about since giving birth to son Camden nearly two months ago, Wednesday Oct. 2 marked The Hills star's first post-baby red carpet.

And the 25-year-old did not disappoint! Hosting the ULTA Beauty "Donate With a Kiss" event at the James Hotel in downtown NYC, Cavallari flaunted her svelte post-baby body in a sexy cocktail dress and stiletto heels; engaged to Camden's dad, Jay Cutler, the new mom beamed for photographers and worked a fresh-faced makeup look, her blonde looks in loose, waves.

The Big Apple bash helped promote Ulta Beauty's new campaign to benefit Breast Cancer Research. (Learn more about giving at ulta.com/donatewithakiss.)

Famous for her bikini bod, Cavallari has been working hard to lose the baby weight. "Walking uphill on the treadmill to work out this booty," she tweeted Sept. 13. "Bye bye ba by weight."

Indeed, a source told Us Weekly, the former reality star has been "working out like crazy with a trainer."

She and Chicago Bears quarterback Cutler, 29, got engaged in November 2011 after a brief split; no word yet on their wedding date.

Chris Pratt Wants to Weigh 300 Pounds by November

While Anna Faris is slimming down after the August 25 birth of her son, Jack, the actress' hilarious husband, Chris Pratt, is packing on the pounds!

The Parks and Recreation actor, 33, has already gained 40 pounds since June in preparation for his role as a lawyer in the upcoming comedy Starbuck. The film centers around Vince Vaughn, 42, whose character learns he's fathered 533 children through sperm donations.

"This is what 275 looks like," Pratt tells Vulture while rubbing his belly. "All man right here."

Pratt says he hopes to weigh 300 pounds by November. To do so, he's been drinking "super gross but pretty tasty" weight gain shakes, in addition to eating at fast food restaurants. "I will hit a couple of burgers like it's laced with crack cocaine," he jokes. "Oooh, I love it."

One unfortunate side effect, Pratt admits, is that his en ergy is lower than ever. "If I just keep eating I can maintain a buzz, like a sugar food buzz. But if I'm in the background of a scene, I'm definitely sitting."

Pratt is no stranger to modifying his body for a role: He toned up to play a baseball player in 2011's Moneyball. "I just like to gain weight and lose weight," he tells Vulture. "It's a roller coaster. I just want to do this. I want to touch God."
