NEW PIC: Jessica Simpson Shows Off Toned Legs in Sexy Black Shorts, Sky High Heels

Slim and sexy mama Jess!

Three weeks after publicly debuting her post-baby body, Jessica Simpson stepped out in Los Angeles Monday, proving that her long hours at the gym are definitely paying off.

The Fashion Star mentor and mom to daughter Maxwell Drew Johnson, 5 months, showed off her lean sexy legs in black short shorts while heading to a photo shoot. Simpson -- engaged to Maxwell's dad, Eric Johnson -- accessorized her look with sky-high nude and black pumps and an oversized animal print handbag.

Simpson, 32, has been hard at work in an effort to lose the reported 70 pounds she gained while pregnant with Maxwell. After her daughter's May 1 birth, the singer has stuck to her Weight Watchers slimdown plan.

"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 an d herself," Simpson -- who recently headed back to work shooting NBC's Fashion Star along with Nicole Richie and Louise Roe -- has said. "I feel like everybody can do what I am doing."

Attending Weight Watchers meetings with her friends and family members, Simpson says fiance Johnson's support during her weight loss journey has been invaluable.

"The fact that he loves me the way I am right now -- we're set," gushes the new first-time mom. "He knows I want to feel better in my skin."

Returning to the series two years after her season 11 stint on the show, Palin told Us Weekly she's developed a new-found confidence she hopes will take her all the way to the DWTS: All-Stars finale. And of course, a revamped diet and fitness routine have helped Palin (who placed third in 2010) whittle her middle.

"I'm definitely in better shape than I was last time, definitely. I'm just more active and I cut all the crap out of my diet! It's that simple," Palin said after DWTS judge Carrie Ann Inaba declared her the "most improved" returning contestant. "And my kid's a lot more rowdy, a lot more active. I'm running after him a lot! He's huge! He thinks he's a teenager already."

Palin's partner Ballas has definitely noticed an improvement in his celeb's work ethic. "Mark says he's like a chimpanzee and I'm like a turtle, poking out of my shell!" Palin has said.

Christina Aguilera: I Was Forced to Be "Toothpick Thin" in 2002

Christina Aguilera is taking control of her music and of her body.

Appearing on the September 29 cover of Billboard magazine, the 31-year-old singer opens up about the struggle to stay thin in the music industry. "During the promotion of my album Stripped [in 2002], I got tired of being a skinny, white girl," Aguilera says. "I am Ecuadorian but people felt so safe passing me off as a skinny, blue-eyed white girl."

"The next time my label saw me, I was heavier, darker and full of piercings!" the five-time Grammy Award winner laughs. "Let me tell you, that wasn't an easy pill for them to swallow. I had gained about 15 pounds during promotion and during my Stripped tour [with Justin Timberlake, 31]. They called this serious emergency meeting about how there was a lot of backlash about my weight. Basically, they told me I would effect a lot of people if I gained weight -- t he production, musical directors."

"[They claimed] people I toured with would also miss out if I gained weight because I would sell no records or tickets for my shows," she adds. "I was young, so I lost the weight quickly and was toothpick thin during Back to Basics promos and touring."

The "Your Body" singer, dating production assistant Matthew Rutler, had finally had enough in 2012. "I told them during this Lotus recording, 'You are working with a fat girl. Know it now and get over it.' They need a reminder sometimes that I don't belong to them. It's my body," Aguilera tells the magazine. "M y body can't put anyone in jeopardy of not making money anymore—my body is just not on the table that way anymore."

After the critical and commercial failure of her 2010 album Bionic, Aguilera hopes Lotus (in stores November 13) will remind music lovers of her true talent. "This album represents a celebration of the new me, and to me the lotus has always represented this unbreakable flower that withstands any harsh weather conditions in its surroundings, that withstands time and remains beautiful and strong throughout the years."

"Once I could start writing my own songs, beginning with Stripped, I tried to infuse as much as I could to promote strength and inspire people with that message," Aguilera explains. "And now I'm at a place at 31, where the last time I felt this way was when I was 21 with Stripped and I had a lot to say and a lot to express."
