Later that night at the IHeartRadio Ultimate Pool Party, Patridge revealed to Us Weekly exclusively how she keeps her famous bod in tip-top shape.

"I have to eat a lot -- I have a really fast metabolism, so I’m kind of the opposite," she said. "I do Pilates three times a week, but I actually have to eat a lot of carbs. Otherwise my metabolism is so fast, I’ll lose too much weight."

As for her favorite foods to indulge in, the star put In-N-Out Burger and Mexican food at the top of her list. "Mexican food, always," she said.

Kim Kardashian Is "Super Motivated" to Get Her Body Back Post-Baby, Trainer Tracy Anderson Says

Kim Kardashian is in no rush to lose her pregnancy weight, but she is "super motivated," celeb trainer Tracy Anderson tells Us of the new mom's workout plan to get her body back post-baby.

Kim Kardashian doesn't do anything halfway. At the moment, all of her attention is focused on getting to know her newborn daughter, North, whom she and boyfriend Kanye West welcomed into the world on June 15. Losing the baby weight is far from a priority, but when the time is right, she has a plan to get her body back -- and more than enough drive and determination to see it through, celeb trainer Tracy Anderson tells Us Weekly exclusively.

Anderson -- who has a successful post-pregnancy workout DVD, as well as a series of DVDs to help women stay active during their pregnancies -- is personally devising an exercise program to help the 32-year-old reality star bounce back after baby. And though neither she nor Kardashian wants to rush the process, they're both excited to get to work.

"It's a tough time, and a lot of women feel like it's a huge mountain to climb to get back, but Kim, surprisingly, has had the totally opposite reaction to other moms," Anderson tells Us. "She's like, 'We're going to be so good. It's fun, I feel great!' She just loves the whole process. From our talks during her pregnancy, I thought she was going to be really concerned [about her weight] once the baby was out, but she's just not...She's in baby heaven. She's excited to get started, but she's really calm about it all."

Anderson -- whose other celeb clients include Gwyneth Paltrow, Jennifer Lopez, Bethenny Frankel, and Shiri Appleby -- says she won't actually start working out with Kardashian until five weeks after baby North's birth. But she's already mapping out a routine.

"It will definitely be lots of muscular structure...In the beginning, it's key getting the deep abdominal muscles back and making sure that you get the strength back in the right layers," she explains, noting that Kardashian's program will include exercises tailor-made for her body and her preferences. "She's not going to be doing any typical crunches or anything like that."

The plan, Anderson says, is to start with four-day-a-week workouts and then gradually increase to five or six days. "She promised me she would be the best student ever, and I promised her that I would do it personally for her, that I would go to her myself and get her back," she tells Us. (The fitness guru doesn't typically train celebs herself, but she's making an exception in Kardashian's case.)

"Kim is super motivated. She's all in," Anderson says. "Pregnancy is actually an opportunity for women to look better than ever. And [Kim] will."

Famke Janssen: Hugh Jackman Worked Out Between Takes During Wolverine Filming

Famke Janssen: Hugh Jackman Worked Out Between Takes During Wolverine Filming

Famke Janssen has gone toe-to-toe with some of Hollywood's biggest leading men, from Pierce Brosnan (GoldenEye) to Owen Wilson (I Spy) to, most recently, Jeremy Renner when she starred as the evil Muriel in Hansel & Gretel.

During a phone call from her home country of Holland, the stunning actress, 47, recently spoke with Us Weekly about the DVD release of Hansel & Gretel, what it was like to play a witch, the shocking secret behind Wolverine costar Hugh Jackman's physique and why she'd happily take over Liam Neeson's role in Taken 3.

Us: How did you feel about playing a witch in Hansel & Gretel?

FJ: Living in Holland I grew up with these stories. Honestly speaking it's not the most flattering proposal, but it was great to work with Jeremy. It was hard not to laugh at myself when I caught my face in the mirror with that ugly makeup on. It was really incredible what they did with those cosmetics.

Us: How was it working with Jeremy and Gemma Arterton?

FJ: Everyone was great. We had an amazing time shooting it, and despite how weird I looked they actually looked pretty cute!

Us: You recently shot a scene in Wolverine with Hugh Jackman. How did it feel to be back with him on set?

FJ: Hugh is one of the best guys in Hollywood, I love him. He is just an incredible actor, and someone I respect immensely. It has been such an honor to be involved with the X-Men films for so long, I was very happy to be coming back. Not to mention he¹s not bad to look at.

Us: What is that guy's secret?

FJ: I'll tell you one of them. He has a set of weights on set with him all the time. I'd be filming a scene in bed with him, where he¹s supposed to be asleep, when the director yells "cut" he jumps up and goes over to pump weights until their ready to shoot again. Then he just lies back down when the scene starts again and closes his eyes. He's a machine.

Us: So Taken 3 is happening?

FJ: Liam Neeson said he was not interested because he thinks the plot would be a little ridiculous, but I think you never know. I'd love to. I'd be happy to take over his role, and his paycheck. Maybe he could be the one that¹s kidnapped! I could save him, I know how to fight. I've got some skills as well.

Justin Theroux Goes Commando Jogging, Channels Jon Hamm

Justin Theroux Goes Commando Jogging, Channels Jon Hamm

Don't let this one go, Jennifer Aniston! The star's fiance Justin Theroux worked up a sweat jogging in a short-sleeve sweatshirt and loose sweatpants while shooting his new TV movie, The Leftovers, in Queens, NYC Wednesday, June 26. One accessory missing from the hunky actor-writer's on-screen ensemble? Underwear.

With earbuds firmly in place, Theroux, 41, inadvertently channeled Jon Hamm during the intense cardio scene -- revealing a very noticeable outline of his, er, anatomy as he ran. (Based on author Tom Perrotta's novel of the same name, suburban drama The Leftovers also stars Liv Tyler and Christopher Eccleston.)

Mad Men star Hamm, of course, sparked endless internet chatter and memes after he was repeatedly photographed going commando, with photographers capturing eye-popping shots of his crotch. "They're called 'privates' for a reason. I'm wearing pants, for f--k's sake. Lay off," he complained to Rolling Stone. Still, he reasoned, "There are harder jobs in the world. But when people feel the freedom to create Tumblr accounts about my c--k, I feel like that wasn't part of the deal [of fame]."

Theroux and Aniston, meanwhile, have been laying low -- having recently put their wedding plans on hold. "She has been cranky from this stress," an insider told Us of the 43-year-old actress, who's been busy with multiple film projects, endorsement deals and a massive renovation of the couple's $21 million Bel-Air home. "Justin's never seen her like this."

Sofia Vergara Bares Midriff in Kmart Bikini Top, SoulCycle Sweatpants

Sofia Vergara shows off her toned midriff in a Kmart bikini top and SoulCycle sweatpants.

Sizzling in the summer! Modern Family star Sofia Vergara shared a series of sexy selfies via her official Instagram account on Sunday, June 23. In the three pictures, the actress bares her toned midriff by donning a self-designed Kmart collection bikini top and SoulCycle sweatpants. The other images show the Emmy winner swinging in a park.

Earlier this month, the actress spoke to Us Weekly about how she stays in shape while unveiling her wax figure at Madame Tussauds in New York City. "I do everything in moderation. I try to enjoy life," said Vergara, who's been engaged to Nick Loeb since the summer of 2012. "I don't believe in crazy diets or exercise. I believe everything in moderation."

Vergara -- who has a 21-year-old son, Manolo, with ex-husband Joe Gonzalez -- added that she doesn't "smoke or do drugs," either. "You know, I drink to have fun," she admitted. "I just try to live, like, a normal life."

TV's highest-paid actress also revealed that she doesn't have a "favorite" workout routine. In fact, Vergara said she'd prefer to never set foot inside a gym.

"Now that I'm older, I know that I have to keep up. When I'm in Los Angeles, I have a trainer, Gunnar Peterson, because if not, I sabotage myself," Vergara said of the pro, who's also worked with Megan Fox and Amanda Seyfried. "If I have to do 12 repetitions, I do seven. And in New York, I have a trainer. His name is Justin Gelband. And so they force me."

Khloe Kardashian Rocks Leather Pants, Shows Sexy Figure

Khloe Kardashian stepped out on Tuesday, June 25.

Will this be Khloe Kardashian's best year yet? The reality star, who celebrates her 29th birthday on Thursday, June 27, stepped out two days earlier looking fierce in an all-black outfit. 

Wearing sky high snakeskin heels, tight black leather pants, a black tank top and a black blazer, the star proudly showed off her fit figure while shopping at Jalam Jalam Imports in Topanga, Calif. She completed the chic look with hoop earrings and wore her long hair in a fishtail braid.

During an appearance on Watch What Happens Live in May, the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star revealed her slim-down secrets. "It is consistency," she said. "I have been working out at least four days a week. I eat better in moderation. I still have to eat, I love food. It's just eating in moderation, it's lifestyle changes.

Khloe, who has dealt with body bashers in the past, seems to be happier than ever -- especially as she celebrates her birthday alongside her husband of three years, Lamar Odom. "Already SOOO much Birthday love and its only past midnight," she tweeted on June 27. "Thank you all for being my smile, heart and soul! Until tomorrow! Muah!!!!"

Christie Brinkley: I Used to Feel "Very Fat" in Old Modeling Photos

Christie Brinkley recalls feeling "very fat" when she was a younger model.

Even supermodels have their "fat" days. Industry veteran Christie Brinkley has graced the covers of more than 500 magazines, landed the coveted Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue cover girl spot for three consecutive years, and even managed to maintain a 25-year partnership with CoverGirl, but the 59-year-old blonde beauty admits that even she has had her moments of doubt regarding her own body image. 

"I came across an older picture of me that someone had posted on Facebook and I totally remember squirming and feeling very fat while I was shooting it," she tells the new issue of Haute Living. "And I look at it now and think, I was actually really thin! How is it possible that I felt so uncomfortable in that body?"

Brinkley, who is mother to three children -- Alexa Ray Joel, 27, Jack, 18, and Sailor, 14 -- explains that she got her start in modeling completely by accident when she was discovered by a photographer in Paris at age 18.

After signing with Elite Model Management in the summer of 1972, however, she snapped up three national advertising campaigns almost immediately, a testament to her natural modeling abilities.

As a result of the chance meeting, she says, she has been able to experience and explore so many different opportunities that she wouldn't have been able to -- which has "made all of the fluffy and embarrassing moments worthwhile," she says.

Now, she tells the magazine, she is proud to see Joel, a singer-songwriter based in Manhattan (dad is iconic piano man Billy Joel, whom Brinkley divorced in 1994) grow and mature into a confident woman.

"Alexa is an outspoken person who has shown that she has substance," she says. "She will not be put in a box or labeled as anything, which is something that I always tried to pride myself on throughout my career. I listen to her and Joni Mitchell whenever I paint or do my sculpture dolls."

Snooki Unveils Flat Stomach and Tiny Waist, Flexes Arm Muscles

Snooki shows off her tiny waist and flat stomach on Instagram.

Snooki is proud of her post-baby body -- and she's eager to show it off! The former Jersey Shore star has been posting multiple pictures of her ongoing slimdown via Instagram. The Shore Thing author, 25, unveiled her flat stomach and tiny waist when she wore a sports bra and sweatpants on Tuesday, June 25. "Getting more toned and defined," Snooki wrote in the photo caption. In a second image, the self-proclaimed "Princess of Poughkeepsie" flexed her biceps and said she was "damn proud" to be a "fit mom."

The former MTV reality star demonstrated her tire-flipping workout three days earlier on Instagram. "How I start my Saturdays," she explained. "Buns and guns." Snooki is exercising with New Jersey-based trainer Anthony Michael. She defended her athletic figure via Twitter June 25. "Everyone's saying the 'new fit me' isn't what I'm suppose to look [like]," she wrote. "I wasn't always a fatass, kids. Get used to my fit life, cause I love it!"

Snooki unveiled her 42-pound weight loss on the March 18 cover of Us Weekly. "I feel great," said the star, who welcomed son Lorenzo in August 2012 with fiance Jionni LaValle. "I have a lot of energy because I work out so much and the endorphins put me in a good mood. And when you're skinnier, you feel so much better about yourself."

At the time, the sunglasses designer told Us she still had "the mommy pooch I need to get rid of, and I want my upper legs to be more toned." Snooki also said she was considering a future breast augmentation. "My boobs are messed up. In a bra, they look good. But when I take it off, they're all flappy," she explained. "I can't wait to get a boob job when I'm done having kids."

Vanity aside, Snooki (real name: Nicole Polizzi) said she was motivated to get fit for another reason: "When Lorenzo starts running around, I want to be able to run with him and not complain that my legs hurt or I'm out of breath. I don't want to worry about the things I can't do because I'm friggin' fat."

Alyssa Milano Goes Nearly Topless, Wears Tiny Shorts on Maxim Cover

Alyssa Milano Goes Nearly Topless, Wears Tiny Shorts on Maxim Cover

Who's the boss? These days, it's Alyssa Milano. Now 40 years old and a married mother of one, the former child star graces the cover of Maxim in, well, not that much! Now promoting her new ABC soap Mistresses, Milano goes nearly topless in an open flannel top and nothing underneath; flashing her famous smile, the brunette also shows off her taut abs and legs, wearing tiny lingerie-style shorts.

Inside the famed men's magazine, Milano poses for another sexy shot in a white bra top, loose sweater and itty-bitty denim shorts.

Married to CAA agent Dave Bugliari since 2009, the actress who played Samantha Micelli opposite TV dad Tony Danza on Who's the Boss is now mother to son Milo, who turns 2 in August. She opens up to the magazine about growing up in the spotlight. "It wasn't weird, because I didn't know any different," she says.

"You know, I went through puberty like everyone else; it only got embarrassing when the show would take what was going on with me and write it into the show, like 'Samantha's First Bra.'" It was like, OK, guys, do we really need to do this?" she jokes. "But what an awesome time stamp!"

Milano also acknowledges that she's had a much happier ending than other former child stars -- from late, troubled boyfriend Corey Haim all the way through Lindsay Lohan and Amanda Bynes.

"That was an era when TV child actors just didn't work after their show was over," she says of her work in the late 80s. "I think Christina Applegate and I are the only two who maintained some sort of career path past the shows that launched us." She adds, gratefully: "But I have a great family, and I look at a lot of these kids who struggle in the industry and think they'd have struggled no matter what they did."

Ashlee Simpson Showcases Skinny Bikini Body on Vacation in Mexico

Ashlee Simpson Showcases Skinny Bikini Body on Vacation in Mexico

Ashlee Simpson is going to become a second-time aunt very, very soon -- but in the meantime, Jessica Simpson's little sister is squeezing in some pool time south of the border! Vacationing with pals in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, the "Bat for a Heart" singer, 28, displayed her skinny physique in a colorful bikini Saturday June 22. The single, divorced mom to son Bronx Wentz, 4, accessorized with a floppy hat, oversized sunglasses and black, sheer coverup.

Back in April, Simpson's ex-husband Pete Wentz praised her skills as a mom. "I feel like we both realize that we're parents and we're in it for our kid. That's made it really easy," Wentz told Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live. "I feel like, as a mom, she's awesome. She's an awesome mom and we get along really well when it comes to our kid now." (The pair called it quits in 2011.)

Ashlee's big sister Jessica, meanwhile, is in the final stretch of her second pregnancy, and was spotted grabbing lunch the same day in Santa Monica, Calif. with fiance Eric Johnson; the engaged couple will soon welcome a baby boy to join daughter Maxwell, 13 months.

Adam Levine, Nina Agdal Go Public, Rock Sexy Beach Bods On Vacation

Adam Levine and girlfriend, Nina Agdal, play in Los Cabos, Mexico on Saturday, June 21.

Love in Mexico! After Us Weekly exclusively revealed that Adam Levine is dating model Nina Agdal on May 28, the Maroon 5 frontman was spotted in Los Cabos, Mexico, on Saturday, June 22, with his new lady.

In the first-ever picture of the couple, a shirtless Levine, wearing only shorts, is seen playing around with the Sports Illustrated model, clad in a barely-there string bikini. The brunette bombshell throws around a volleyball as The Voice mentor happily looked on. 

Indeed, in May, a source told Us that the 34-year-old singer is "having fun" with the 21-year-old stunner, but "It's still new."

Agdal was first spotted on the set of The Voice on May 23, and later attended a live taping in L.A. five days later to support her new beau.

Before dating the 5-foot-9 beauty, Levine was linked to Victoria's Secret Angel Behati Prinsloo, whom he began dating in May 2012. "Behati was in and out, but they finally ended it," a source explained. 

During a June 2 interview on Oprah's Next Chapter, the crooner played down his playboy status, telling the host that he does have plans to settle down. "I'm a fan of marriage. People think that I keep pooh-poohing marriage, but I love it," he said. "I want to probably be married at some point."

He added, "I don't feel pressure to get married. I think that when it's time, it's going to be obvious and I'm going to do it and I'm going to really enjoy it."

Christina Aguilera Bares Toned Midriff, Looks Skinny on The Voice Finale

Christina Aguilera stuns while performing with Pitbull on 'The Voice' finale.

The diva is back! Though she didn't mentor any contestants during the fourth season of The Voice, Christina Aguilera made a grand return for the NBC hit's June 18 finale. Showing off her estimated 20-pound weight loss in a black pencil skirt, a sheer metallic top and a hot pink bra, the four-time Grammy winner performed her No. 1 hit "Feel This Moment" with Pitbull.

"How cool was that seeing Christina tonight?" Blake Shelton asked reporters backstage. "She looks amazing, by the way." Aguilera and Cee Lo Green will join Shelton and Adam Levine for Season 5 after Shakira and Usher stepped in for Season 4.

"Cee Lo and Christina are the two that Adam and I started this thing with and there's a camaraderie there that helped create this thing," said Shelton, who celebrated his 37th birthday that night. "It will be right back where it was before. You know, there's a friendship there -- I still talk to them both all the time, and I'm sure Adam does, too."

In her off season, Aguilera, 32, has been working hard to get her body back in shape. In early May, with a slew of appearances lined up for her new single, the pop star made a drastic change: She recommitted herself to exercise by reteaming with fitness pro Tee Sorge, who helped her shimmy down for 2010's Burlesque.

In addition to weight training with Sorge, the mom to Max, 5 (with ex-husband Jordan Bratman) has been practicing yoga regularly. "It's more of a mind-body thing for her," a source revealed in the June 10 issue of Us Weekly. "She believes in exercise that she enjoys, doing strength work as opposed to intense cardio."

VIDEO: Christina Aguilera and Adam Levine duet on The Voice

The multiplatinum pop star is embracing her slimmer shape, according to stylist Simone Harouche. "She's really into dresses that highlight her decolletage and her waist," she told Us. "She's showing off her amazing figure."

Vanessa Lachey: I Gained 65 Pounds While Pregnant With Camden

Vanessa Lachey tells HuffPo Live she gained 65 pounds while pregnant with son Camden

Vanessa Lachey has a message for all new moms and moms-to-be: Don't worry about the baby weight. Nine months after giving birth to son Camden, her first child with husband Nick Lachey, the Wipeout hostess, 32, looks better than ever -- and the secret, she says, is happiness. Well, happiness and Spanx.

"I gained, I think, 65 pounds when I was pregnant," Lachey revealed in a June 19 interview with HuffPost Live. "And I will say to moms out there, 'Don't stress about losing it. It will happen when it happens.' Cam's 9 months, so it's been a minute, and we're working, and we're traveling, and it's just about maintaining a happy, healthy lifestyle, not obsessing about it."

"I think that's one thing I would like to convey to moms everywhere," she continued. "It's not about this 'get skinny quick' diet or these fads. Just enjoy time being a mom. You've just had this wonderful, magical moment, and you shouldn't be stressing about that kind of stuff."

If you're really worried, "Spanx are amazing," she joked. "Thank you to the inventor of that."

Lachey also spoke to HuffPost Live about her "amazing" husband. "He was born to be a daddy," she gushed. "He's a hot daddy. Isn't MILF the word for moms? Is there anything for dads?"

Nick, 39, is currently traveling the country with 98 Degrees as part of the Package Tour, which also features Boyz II Men and New Kids on the Block. "I gotta say, it's sexy," his wife says of seeing him in concert. "I can't be mad at him. When I get mad at Nick and then I see him sing, I'm like, 'Okay, I forgive you.'"

At the moment, the couple are happy to dote on baby Camden, she said -- but they definitely want more kids in the future. "We're married, and I believe we've established a great foundation as a couple and now as parents," Lachey teased, "so when two and three and maybe four roll around, we'll be ready for them."

Wearing turquoise-colored Giuseppe Zanotti heels, Intermix leather shorts, a sheer button-up Equipment blouse, the 28-year-old showed off her fit figure and trendy summer style.

Maria Menounos Shows Off Toned Beach Body in Tiny Black Bikini During Greece Getaway

Maria Menounos showed off her toned beach body in a tiny black string bikini during a trip to Greece on Wednesday, June 19.

After donning multiple midriff-baring, barely-there outfits for her turn on last season's Dancing With the Stars, Maria Menounos seems to have no more qualms about showing off her toned bikini body. The Extra host rang in summer in a tiny black string bikini during a recent trip to Mykonos, Greece on Wednesday, June 19, soaking in the surf and sun with boyfriend Kevin Undergaro and pals.

Menounos, who recently celebrated her 35th birthday with a star-studded, Hawaiian luau-themed bash in Los Angeles on June 8, looked effortlessly cool as she played in the clear waters, with her hair down and a pair of oversized sunglasses framing her face.

At one point, she and pal Marietta Chrousala sat atop their beaus' shoulders for a game of chicken, excitedly trying to pull the other person into the water.

"Love it here! Danced till sun came up," she tweeted on Thursday, June 20, along with a short video of Marietta and herself laughing it up.

Wearing a black bikini, Maria Menounos and boyfriend Kevin Undergaro get in a day at the beach with Marietta Chrousala and her husband Leon Patitsas.

Menounos' trip to Greece involved a little family time as well. The TV host shared a shot of her dad, Constantinos, in yellow swim trunks at the beach with fans, captioning the shot: "My dad turns 70 this year… Lookin good eh?"

Menounos credited her father as her inspiration for keeping fit in an interview with Fitness magazine.

"Go ahead, punch me in the stomach," she told the crew at the magazine's cover shoot. "I learned that from my dad. When someone punches you there, you tighten up."

Chrissy Teigen Poses Nude, Flaunts Toned Body in Sexy Pictures for GQ

Chrissy Teigen poses fully nude in the July 2013 issue of GQ

No pants, no shirt, no problems. Chrissy Teigen's naked body may not fly with Instagram, but GQ is more than happy to have her. The model, 27, is heating up the pages of the magazine's July issue in a series of sexy shots that show off her famously fit physique. 

In one photo, John Legend's fiancee leans seductively against a wall, her arms crossed over her chest to cover her bare torso. She's fully nude -- except for a pair of chunky heels on her feet.

Teigen has never been known for her inhibitions. She's the opposite of shy when it comes to voicing her opinions on Twitter; no joke is too dirty, no topic is off-limits. Because of this, she sometimes gets herself into trouble with other Twitter users (like Amanda Bynes).

Asked whether she ever regrets any of the things she posts, the Sports Illustrated swimsuit model told GQ: "All the time! But not really a regret that I thought it, just that I said it."

Or, in the case of Instagram, shared it. "My naked-spray-tan thing comes to mind," she said, referring to the nude picture she posted that violated the photo-sharing site's user guidelines. "What no one knows is that my mom took it! My mom frickin' threw me under the bus!"

Kate Upton Goes Makeup Free, Looks Fresh-Faced in N.Y.C.

Kate Upton goes makeup-free on Monday, June 17 in N.Y.C.

Sans makeup, Kate Upton is still camera-ready! The model stepped out in New York City on Monday, June 17, looking fresh-faced and makeup-free.

Wearing beige-capped flats, pink pastel skinny pants and a loose-fitting gray T-shirt, the Sports Illustrated swimsuit model looked casual-chic walking through The Big Apple. She completed the laid-back look with a bright blue tote and Ray Ban sunglasses, her blonde tresses gathered into a low ponytail. 

This past Saturday, June 15, Upton was hard at work showing off her amazing bikini body in Westhampton Beach, N.Y. while she filmed The Other Woman with Cameron Diaz.

 

The blonde bombshell, who was recently romantically linked to Dancing With the Stars pro Maksim Chmerkovskiy, has opened up about her seemingly atypical model behavior — which includes staying as down to earth as possible. 

"I never set out to be on the runway," she told Vogue in June. 

Explaining why she interacts with fans through her Twitter and funny Keek videos, she added, "I didn’t buy the magazines that had models on the covers, because I didn’t know them … So I think this kind of gives me, as a model, a personality that people can connect with."

Vanessa Hudgens and Ashley Greene showed off their bikini bodies during the Oakley Bali Pro Learn to surf event in Benoa, Bali, Indonesia, on June 19, 2013.

Summer is heating up! Vanessa Hudgens and Ashley Greene wore matching black bikinis during the Oakley Bali Pro/Learn to Surf event in Benoa, Bali, Indonesia on Wednesday, June 19. The Spring Breakers actress, 24, and the Apparition star, 26, were joined by Hudgens' actor boyfriend, Austin Butler.

Greene shared a picture of her bruised leg via Instagram later that afternoon. "War wound from surfing today with Oakley," she wrote in the caption. "The reef ate me up. Worth it."

At the Electric Run L.A. event May 24, Hudgens told Us Weekly she was "really excited" to go on her "surf trip" in Indonesia. "Then I'm doing a big press tour for Frozen Ground," she said of her upcoming movie, slated for an Aug. 23 release. "I'm gonna go to London and this island in Italy and Moscow, which I've never been to, so I'm really excited. I just love traveling! As long as my gypsy heart is set free, I'm good!"

Before her summer press tour begins, however, Hudgens plans to take it easy. "You're only in your twenties once!" she explained.

As for how she keeps her bikini body in shape, the "Sneaker Night" singer said she likes to mix up her workout routine. "I try to shock the body as often as possible -- I think that's really important," Hudgens told Us. "I do Soul Cycle constantly, do a lot of Pilates, a lot of yoga for the mind, dancing, kickboxing, hiking. . . anything and everything!"

Greene, meanwhile, shared her hot body secrets with Us when McDonald's presented Just Jared's Summer Kickoff Party in Beverly Hills June 1. "I'm doing circuit training right now with Harley Pasternak," she revealed. "It's 45 minutes, so it's great. It's all cardio the whole time, so you don't really bulk up, and that's something that I'm kind of in tune with because I'm kind of athletic by nature. You lift weights and you're strong and lean."

The Twilight actress makes sure she eats healthy by choosing options from the Sunfare meal delivery program.  "I use it a lot to kind of keep me on track," she said. "If you veer off and have dinner with someone, it's okay, but as a staple it's nice because it allows you to eat right and enjoy the food. I'm lazy. I love it!"

Miss USA 2013 Contestants Too Skinny, Former Pageant Winners Say

Miss North Carolina Ashley Love-Mills; Miss Connecticut Erin Brady; Miss Nevada Chelsea Caswell

Has the pageant stage become just another fashion runway filled with scary-skinny physiques? According to several former Miss USA and Miss America competitors, the answer is a resounding "Yes!" -- at least when it comes to the bikini bodies on display during Sunday night's Miss USA 2013 competition. (Miss Connecticut Erin Brady was crowned the winner.)

Speaking to HuffPost Live, Miss America 2008 Kirsten Haglund said, "The girls, I thought, were much too thin. I agree that if you would have tested their BMIs that they probably would have been much too thin. And that's the standard in the modeling industry and the fashion industry as well."

Miss USA 2003 Susie Castillo was also disturbed by the shrinking figures. "I was a little shocked, too, sitting in the audience and seeing ribcages showing, protruding from these girls' skins. I was like, 'Wow, these girls…' "

"I realize that 10 years ago, when I was Miss USA, I was a lot thinner too…. I was an athlete. I wasn't that thin. And I agree that it's going in a way where girls are just super thin," Castillo continued.

Miranda Kerr Poses Topless for Cover of Vogue Korea

Miranda Kerr is topless on the cover of Vogue Korea's July issue.

Not many women could make granny underwear look hot, but Miranda Kerr does just that on the cover of Vogue Korea's July 2013 cover. The sexy Australian model has never looked better as she poses with just-washed hair in a pair of gray high-waisted briefs, a white motorcycle jacket by Proenza Schouler — and nothing more.

This marks the second time the former Victoria's Secret Angel graces a Vogue cover this year; she was also Vogue Australia's April cover girl, though she's wearing an actual dress in that image.

The wife of Orlando Bloom is no stranger to baring her body for the camera. In May, during a photo shoot for her Kora Organics skincare line, Kerr, 30, accidentally exposed both breasts when her top fell down. And in February, the hot mom (the couple are parents to 2-year-old Flynn) posted to Instagram a topless photo of herself frolicking in the surf.

At the Met Ball earlier this year, the model made headlines without saying a word -- or showing a breast -- when fellow attendee Gwyneth Paltrow related a story about going up to Kerr and asking her "Is it weird to be that pretty?" Kerr's reported answer? "No."

Jerry O'Connell Wears Skimpy Orange Speedo, Shows Off Skinny Body

Jerry O'Connell was seen wearing a bright orange bikini bottom suit while on the set of his new show "We Are Men" Shooting in Woodland Hills, CA on June 14, 2013.

No wonder he was cast in We Are Men! Jerry O'Connell was photographed working on the set of his new CBS comedy series on Friday, June 14, wearing nothing but a bright orange speedo.

The 39-year-old actor showed off his skinny, toned bod in the skimpy swimsuit on location in Woodland Hills, Calif. O'Connell gave photographers a view of his lean muscles while chugging a bottle of water in the sun.

We Are Men is about a man named Carter (Chris Smith) who gets left at the altar. He decides to move into a short-term rental complex, where he meets three older, divorced men (O'Connell, Tony Shalhoub and Kal Penn) who give him advice.

At a pop-up stand to promote the nonprofit Play Makers on June 7, O'Connell -- who first made a splash as an overweight teen in 1986's Stand By Me -- told Us Weekly that his new show is forcing him to stay in shape. "They've got me taking my shirt off all the time, so I had to re-up my gym membership and sort of watch what I eat. Also, having kids sort of keeps you running around all the time," explained the star, who shares 4-year-old twins, Dolly and Charlie, with wife Rebecca Romijn. "I have one very lazy daughter, so I'm always carrying her around—and she's close to 50 pounds. It's called the lazy child workout. I'm going to make a DVD. It's going to be the next P90X."

"I don't use a trainer," he added. "We're saving for college, so there will be no extra expenditures. Even paying for a gym membership is annoying. I'd rather do a prison workout at home."

O'Connell also shared with Us the celebrity whom he admires (and fears!) for his fit bod.

"I mean, look at Hugh Jackman," he said. "I don't know how that guy does it. He's good friends with my wife because they do all of these X-Men movies together and I'm afraid to be around him," he joked. "He's so large. I just keep my head down and only speak when spoken to."

Sofia Vergara Poses in a Thong Bikini at Age 40, Posts Picture Online

Sofia Vergara showed off her pink thong bikini via WhoSay on June 15, 2013.

Muy caliente! Modern Family star Sofia Vergara shared a sexy selfie via her official WhoSay account on Saturday, June 15. The picture features the 40-year-old actress wearing a pink thong bikini while lying face-down on a lounge chair by the pool. "Where Keegan Killian and Luis Balaguer can't find me," she wrote in the caption, referring her assistant and her manager.

Eleven days earlier, the actress spoke to Us Weekly about how she stays in shape while unveiling her wax figure at Madame Tussauds in New York City. "I do everything in moderation. I try to enjoy life," said Vergara, engaged to Nick Loeb since the summer of 2012. "I don't believe in crazy diets or exercise. I believe everything in moderation."

Vergara added that she doesn't "smoke or do drugs," either. "You know, I drink to have fun," she admitted. "I just try to live, like, a normal life."

TV's highest-paid actress also revealed that she doesn't have a "favorite" workout routine. In fact, Vergara said she hates going to the gym. "Now that I'm older, I know that I have to keep up. When I'm in Los Angeles, I have a trainer, Gunnar Peterson, because if not, I sabotage myself," she said of the pro, who's also worked with Megan Fox and Amanda Seyfried. "If I have to do 12 repetitions, I do seven. And in New York, I have a trainer. His name is Justin Gelband. And so they force me."

Miss USA Crowned! Miss Connecticut Erin Brady Wins

Miss USA 2012 Nana Meriwether crowns Miss Connecticut USA Erin Brady the new Miss USA during the 2013 Miss USA pageant at PH Live at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino on June 16, 2013 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Beauty, brains, and a banging bikini body: Meet Miss USA 2013! Miss Connecticut Erin Brady was crowned Miss USA during the annual beauty pageant in Las Vegas on Sunday, June 16. The 25-year-old South Glastonbury, Conn. native stunned and impressed throughout the night, where 51 would-be queens were whittled down to a final group of six contestants (also including Miss Texas, Miss Utah, Miss Alabama, Miss Illinois and Miss South Carolina).

Brady -- who was frank about her family's struggle with alcholism -- held her own when judges asked her tricky questions on privacy concerns, treasons and, finally, DNA testing for criminals. During her reign, she plans to be "an advocate for children of alcohol and substance abuse."

Kate Upton, Cameron Diaz Flaunt Bikini Bodies While Filming The Other Woman

Kate Upton wore a bikinis while filming a scene for her new movie "The Other Woman' in Westhampton Beach, New York.

Beach babes squared! Kate Upton and Cameron Diaz had a blast filming The Other Woman in Westhampton Beach, New York on Saturday, June 15 -- flaunting their amazing bikini bodies while the cameras rolled.

The Sports Illustrated supermodel, 21, donned an itsy bitsy white string bikini, showing off her sexy curves while walking in the sand.

While Diaz covered up her white bikini with a white button-up shirt, she just looked as awesome -- flaunting her toned leg muscles. The actress finished off her relaxed and laid back beach look with a fedora.

Upton, who was recently romantically linked to Dancing With the Stars pro Maksim Chmerkovskiy, has opened up before about her very famous curves -- and how she handled being called "fat" by some.

"I really just live my life," the blonde bombshell told Vogue in May. "I love my body. It’s what God gave me! I feel confident with myself, and if that inspires other women to feel confident with their bodies, great. It’s kind of funny to think, 'Oh, wow, the news is talking about whether I’m fat or not.'” 

The Other Woman, a romantic comedy which also stars Leslie Mann, Taylor Kinney, and Nicki Minaj, will be released April 25, 2014.

Salma Hayek: I Got to See Myself "Completely Disfigured" When I Was Pregnant


Salma Hayek loves her daughter, but she wasn't exactly basking in the glow of pregnancy before Valentina's September 2007 birth. Recalling the experience in a new interview with Glamour magazine's Glam Belleza Latina, the 46-year-old Mexican-American stunner says putting 50 pounds on her petite frame changed her self-perception and -- initially, at least -- not for the better. Ultimately, though, it made her more forgiving of her flaws.

"I gained so much weight, I got an opportunity to see myself completely disfigured in many different ways -- for a very good reason -- and I don't regret it for a second," she tells the mag. "That's when I started appreciating my body. The things that I used to criticize, they were not that bad after all."

That kind of self-assurance doesn't come easy, Hayek says, especially given the pressure women are under these days. "We've got to fight for our confidence every day in modern life because we live in a society that is very harsh to women," she explains. "You have to be smart and successful and a good mother and beautiful and young and skinny forever."

Talk about impossible expectations. Fortunately, Hayek's own definition of living well is considerably less demanding. "Success is happiness," the actress tells Glam Belleza Latina. "If you've found the right companion for life, a good relationship with loved ones, if you are healthy -- my God, you are immensely successful."

By those standards, Hayek is a smash. Married to Francois-Henri Pinault since 2009, she's happier now than she's ever been.

"I believe that change keeps you young. I'm a late bloomer; I always have been," she says. "A lot of women think that this is the [age] when you start getting depressed. To that I say, 'No, no, no, no, no!' I'm having the best time of my life."

Farrah Abraham Boob Job: Teen Mom Star Gets New D-Cup Implants

She upgraded her saline implants a full cup size, going from a C to a D. Under the care of Dr. David Finkle in Omaha, Neb., the entire procedure cost $7,145.

The single star (mom to Sophia, 4, with late ex Derek Underwood) received a $16,000 rhinoplasty and chin implant from plastic surgeon Dr. Michael Salzhauer in Bal Harbour, Florida, on Oct. 7, 2012.

The My Teenage Dream Ended author first had a breast augmentation in 2011, going from an A to a C cup.  "After having a baby, my boobs went away. It hurt my self-esteem," she told Us Weekly at the time. "I didn't feel like I was woman enough anymore. I knew I could be happier."

Abraham debuted her enhanced chest on Thursday, June 13, in Paterson, New Jersey, when she judged a pole dancing competition at Sunrise Go-Go. "I love New Jersey," tweeted the Iowa native, who wore a tight gold dress. "So much fun tonight!"

"I masturbate to . . .  my own video," she revealed. "I've had my video for a while, so I've seen it . . . a lot."

Stephen Amell Goes Shirtless, Wife Cassandra Jean Shows Off Pregnant Bikini Body: Picture

"Arrow" star Stephen Amell and his pregnant wife Cassandra Jean spend the day relaxing poolside on June 13, 2013 in Monaco.

Time for babymoon? Stephen Amell and his pregnant wife, Cassandra Jean, hit the beach in Monaco on Thursday, June 13. The 32-year-old Arrow actor and 27-year-old former America's Next Top Model contestant showed off their swimsuit bodies while relaxing in the sun together.

Jean bared her baby bump in a tiny strapless black bikini sitting poolside. The first-time mom-to-be proudly showed off her pregnant belly to Amell, who worked on his tan by going shirtless in swim trunks.

Earlier in the week, Jean showed off her tiny baby bump in a lace mini-dress while posing on the red carpet with her hubby at the Monte Carlo TV Festival.

The couple, who tied the knot on the beach in the Caribbean in December 2012, confirmed they were expecting earlier this week. Amell told ET Canada that he's can't wait to become a father.

"I'm excited -- no I'm not excited, I'm very excited!" he said. "I'm sure that nervous energy will accompany that eventually, but only in a positive way."

Former Miss USA Winners Get Naked for PETA

Four former pageant winners team up with PETA to that they'd rather go naked than wear fur.

Former Miss USA winners are saying no to fur! Shandi Finnessey (2004), Susie Castillo (2003), Shanna Moakler (1995) and Alyssa Campanella (2011) are posing nude in a new campaign for PETA.

The four ladies stripped down and posed side-by-side for the sexy new ad, which features the message, "Feel Beautiful in Your Own Skin, and Let Animals Keep Theirs." The new campaign calls for pageants to stop awarding fur coats as prizes to winners.

"As long as I'm the director of Miss Nevada, we will never award fur coats as prizes, and I urge my fellow pageant directors to make the same pledge," Moakler, 38, said in a statement to PETA. "Kind people today are taking a stand against cruelty to animals—so a fur coat is no prize for a compassionate, socially-aware woman."

"I've been an animal lover all my life, and the more I learned of the torture that animals go through in the name of fashion, I just think it's so unnecessary . . . it's unbelievable to me," Castillo, 33, said. She said she felt "blessed" to be a part of the campaign "to take a stand united and to tell the pageant industry not to support the fur industry."

Miley Cyrus Bares Toned Midriff in Two Different Outfits: Pictures

Miley Cyrus showed her abs in two different outfits on Wednesday, June 12.

Showing abs -- from day to night! Miley Cyrus bared her amazing midriff on Wednesday, June 12, revealing her toned ab muscles in two different outfits.

The 20-year-old first showed off her taut mid-section during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, wearing red pumps, half-denim, half-sweatpant loose-fitting pants and a red belly shirt with the words "Channing" written across it. She accessorized the look with a silver necklace and sunglasses.

Later that night at the New Myspace Launch Event, the "We Can't Stop" singer donned the same pair of loose-fitting jeans but ditched the casual look -- instead pairing the pants with white stilettos, a black cropped top, and a black leather jacket.

The former Disney Channel star credits her toned physique to a gluten-free diet and exercise activities like bike riding and Pilates.

"For everyone calling me anorexic, I have a gluten and lactose allergy," she tweeted in 2012. "A gluten-free diet excludes foods containing gluten, a protein found in wheat. "It's not about weight -- it's about health. Gluten is crap anyway!"

Eddie Murphy's Daughter Bria Says Models Eat Cotton Balls Soaked in Orange Juice

Bria Murphy, soaking up the sun in Hawaii on June 11, 2013, says that some models eat cotton balls soaked in orange juice to feel full.

She may be the daughter of famous funny man Eddie Murphy, but Bria Murphy takes her burgeoning modeling career seriously. That said, she's not willing to sacrifice her health just to achieve the perfect slim body magazines covet.

In an interview on Good Morning America that aired on Tuesday, June 11, the 23-year-old offspring of Murphy and ex-wife Nicole Murphy (herself a former model) revealed the drastic measures some mannequins resort to in order to lose weight. "I've heard of people eating the cotton balls with the orange juice…they dip it in the orange juice and then they eat the cotton balls to help them feel full, because the cotton's not doing anything. It's just dissolving. And it makes you think you're full, but you're not," she said.

"Lots of girls get addicted to drugs and anorexia, it's -- there's a whole list of things, because it's a lot of pressure to be perfect," continued Bria, who is currently the spokesmodel for Dark and Lovely hair products.

The stunner also shared her dream to model for Victoria's Secret, a wish that doesn't seem out of reach judging by the sexy bikini shots of her, taken in Hawaii on the same day the interview aired. She's fully aware, however, that the industry she's chosen can lead to crippling self doubt and body image issues.

"It's your job to go into a room...and some people will just say no without an explanation, and some will be like, 'Oh, your nose is too big. Your butt's too big. Oh, your legs are flabby.' Like, they'll just go on you, 'Oh, you need to tighten that up,' " she said.

Kendall Jenner Goes Paddleboarding in a Bikini Top: Picture

No wonder she's a swimsuit model! Kendall Jenner posted a new photo of herself on Instagram, Sunday, June 9, flaunting her toned bikini body.

"Gloomy day of paddling with mah girl Spencer Johnson," she tweeted of her pal.

Though the weather may have been "gloomy," Jenner appeared to be having fun. In the shot, the 17-year-old Keeping Up With the Kardashians star gave the camera a big smile while posing on her paddleboard. Jenner proudly showed off her slim beach bod in a pink bikini top and black wetsuit pants. 

In May, the reality star appeared in her first swimsuit campaign for Agua Bendita. But Jenner has her sights set on being a Victoria's Secret model someday.

"It's always been kind of a dream of mine," she told E! News in April. "It's a very great thing to do, and it's something I'd love to do."

Miss Iowa Pageant: Nicole Kelly Makes History as First Winner Without a Forearm

Nicole Kelly, born without a forearm, wins the title of Miss Iowa.

Nicole Kelly had quite the weekend. Not only did she win Miss Iowa on Saturday, Jun. 8, after a tough three-day competition, but in doing so, she also became the first pageant winner in history missing a limb: Kelly was born without her left forearm.

The 23-year-old will now go on to compete at the Miss America Pageant Sept. 15 in Atlantic City, NJ. In her bio on the Miss Iowa pageant's website, the University of Nebraska at Lincoln graduate wrote about her disability.

"I was born without my left forearm. (Although, when people ask me what happened to my arm, I like to ask, 'Well, what do you think happened?' My favorite explanation to date has been that it was bitten off by a shark…a perfect explanation for someone from Iowa.) As I grew older, I learned to offset the initial stares I received from people with an outgoing personality that would not give in to 'No.' This meant that I tried everything! From baseball, to dance to diving, there was nothing I would not try," Kelly shared.

"I found my passion within a world where I was giving people permission to stare…the stage," she continued. A theater buff with hopes to one day become a Broadway Stage Manager, Kelly studied theater in college and even recently completed a stint on Broadway in the Tony-nominated play, The Assembled Parties.

Kelly won the judges over with a song from a Broadway musical, naturally: Wicked's "Defying Gravity."

Taylor Armstrong Wears Thong Bikini, Makes Out With Boyfriend

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Taylor Armstrong made out with boyfriend John Bluher and wore a thong bikini while celebrating her 42nd birthday on June 10.

Does Taylor Armstrong look 42? While celebrating her birthday on Monday, June 10, with boyfriend John Bluher, the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star showed off her beach body in a skimpy thong bikini.

"Celebrating my bday poolside with my love," Armstrong tweeted with a picture of herself relaxing on a lounge chair in a tie-dye strapless bikini. "Ciroc summer fun cocktails -- coconut ciroc and OJ," she added, referring to the drink she was holding in the image.

The birthday girl, mom to 6-year-old daughter Kennedy, flaunted her slim, toned bod in the colorful swimsuit while soaking up the sun with Bluher, her attorney boyfriend. The couple also appeared to enjoy a little make-out session in the pool.

"How handsome is my guy? He's a gentle, loving soul and I am blessed," Armstrong tweeted Saturday with a picture of the two of them. For her birthday, the Bravo star also received a present from Bluher's family. "Gorgeous flowers from my beau's family," she captioned a photo of the white bouquet. "Thank you Carol, Gina and Lisa. Love to you all. Family. Blessed. Birthday."

In February, Armstrong admitted on her official blog that she developed a drinking problem after her estranged husband, Russell, committed suicide in August 2011.

"I went through about nine months where I was drinking to cope with the pain and the memories. I was drinking to forget, to stop the recurring images in my head, to relax enough to try to sleep at night," she wrote. "I quickly discovered that one glass of wine made it a little easier, two would help me forget, three, four -- you get the point."

"Thankfully," she said, "I had an amazing support system and they helped me realize that it was time for me to feel my emotions and let the healing begin."

Khloe Kardashian-Odom worked hard for her slim new figure, and she deserves to show it off -- so that's exactly what she did on Sunday, June 9, at the launch of Ulta's Kardashian Beauty line in Huntington Beach, Calif. Posing on the red carpet at the event, the 28-year-old reality star played up her bombshell curves in a tight white minidress.

The fitted frock showed off the brunette beauty's sexy new figure and 25-pound weight loss, which she achieved through a combination of diet and exercise. She completed the outfit with studded sandals, big earrings, red lips, and sideswept waves.

Speaking about her body transformation on a recent episode of Watch What Happens Live, the Keeping Up the Kardashians star said the secrets to her success were "consistency" and small adjustments in her everyday life. "I have been working out at least four days a week," she explained. "I eat better in moderation. I still have to eat, I love food. It's just eating in moderation. It's lifestyle changes."

One week earlier, the former X Factor host took to Twitter to address critics of her svelte new physique.

"People LOVE to hate," she wrote. "I have worked really hard to be healthy, and I am proud of my body! It's all ME! I did it the healthy LONG way. Please don't discredit my hard, long work."

"Don't hate because you couldn't do it. Try uplifting and getting inspired," she continued. "No matter what size, shape, color, whatever...Haters going to hate! So remember to always be happy with YOU!"
