Britney Spears Rocks Two Bikinis at Six Flags Hurricane Harbor

Waterpark fun! Britney Spears rocked a bikini for a day of fun in the sun with her two sons, Sean, 7, and Jayden, 6, while visiting Six Flags Hurricane Harbor in Southern California on Tuesday, July 30.

Wearing a black and white striped bikini, the "Ooh La La" singer was all smiles while she walked through the park, her hair kept in a blue baseball cap. The former X Factor judge -- who told Shape in May how she stays fit -- showcased her toned legs and flat abs while walking the park.

A day later, on Wednesday, July 31, the pop princess donned a pink bikini, again showing off her sexy physique at the park.

In May, the 31-year old revealed it gets harder and harder to keep her body in tip-top shape. Of her love/hate relationship with exercising, she revealed to the magazine, "I like it, then again, I hate it. Dieting is tough...because my specialties are spaghetti, brownies, and chocolate chip cookies."

No doubt the mom enjoyed a break from yoga and cardio for slides and rides with her sons. After leaving the park, she tweeted, "So much fun spending the day at the water park! My boys had a blast," adding a smiling face.

Snooki Shows Off Bikini Body in High-Waisted Swimsuit: Picture

Home is where her family is! Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi looked excited to be frolicking in the warm waters of the Jersey Shore on Monday, July 29, with fiance Jionni LaValle and 11-month-old son Lorenzo in tow.

The fit mommy, 25, paired a retro-style black-and-white striped bikini top with high-waisted black bottoms for the afternoon outing, a set of oversized glasses perched on her nose. LaValle, meanwhile, kept things casual in an aqua-colored tank top and blue-and-black board shorts.

Tiny Lorenzo looked less than pleased about the family fun, however, and was snapped crying as his doting parents tried to cheer him up. 

Polizzi's head-turning outfit on Monday is only the latest in a high-waisted streak that the former reality star has seemingly adopted this month.

On Sunday, July 28, the young mom stepped out for errands in high-waisted light wash mom jeans and a studded black fanny pack that drew jeers online. Polizzi didn't take the criticism lying down, however.

"Everyone hatin on my mom jeans and fanny pack…sorry I was born in the wrong decade," she tweeted on Monday.

One thing that even her biggest haters can agree on, however, is that the former self-professed "meatball" has been working hard to shed the pounds since giving birth to baby Lorenzo.

"When I work out, that's when I feel good -- when I'm strong," she told Us. "I've never been this strong in my life."

Jason Segel Explains Weight Loss, Discusses End of How I Met Your Mother

Jason Segel looked healthy and handsome during the CW, CBS and Showtime's Summer TCA Party in L.A. on Monday, July 30. The clean-shaven actor, 33, looked trim in a gray suit while posing for photographers on the red carpet. According to Segel, he's been getting in shape for his next movie, Sex Tape, costarring Cameron Diaz.

"I've just been living healthy, exercising, eating right -- no more midnight pizzas," Segel told Us Weekly. "This time when I take my shirt off, I've made a promise to myself, it doesn't have to be funny."

According to Segel (who split with Michelle Williams earlier this year), "I took heat for Forgetting Sarah Marshall, where I was completely nude. But different characters require different body types." Production on the raunchy comedy begins in September. "It is R-rated," he teased, "and I'm not in shape for no reason."

In the meantime, Segel is focused on the ninth and final season of How I Met Your Mother (premiering Sept. 23 at 8 p.m. EST on CBS). "My favorite moments have just been watching my castmates grow up. We have been together for a decade now and a lot of life stuff has gone on for everybody," the star said. "It's like a real family. It's the longest I've known any group of people besides my family."

Segel wants to embrace the moment instead of worrying about the next phase of his career. "I'm just keeping myself busy," he told Us. "I'm not thinking too much about the future."

Gwyneth Paltrow On Bad Cleanse Experience: It "Left Me Hallucinating After 10 Days"

It's no secret that Gwyneth Paltrow is a fan of diet and exercise trends -- but one that she tried in her 20s came at a high cost: "hallucinating after 10 days."

"I've done juice cleanses in the past, and in my twenties I did the Master Cleanse, which left me hallucinating after 10 days," she admitted in a column she penned for the UK's Telegraph. "Be aware: a juice detox can crash your metabolism and lead to future weight gain."

The Goop founder dished out that helpful piece of advice and more for the paper on Monday, July 29. According to the mother-of-two (to kids Apple, 9, and Moses, 7, with husband Chris Martin, 36), it's also more productive to measure weight loss in inches, not pounds.

"There is something punitive about weighing yourself," she wrote. "It can leave you vulnerable to shame and guilt, and it messes with you psychologically. Women naturally gain and lose weight during their monthly cycle anyway, so it can be more realistic to monitor your body shape with a measuring tape."

This isn't the first time the lifestyle guru has offered her unsolicited advice to fans. Paltrow, 40, also recently chatted with British Cosmopolitan about her take on aging and Botox.

"I don't like Botox. I think on some faces it works, but it's when you can really see it that it start to look fake," she said. "I love how French actresses age but don't really do anything about it -- it's beautiful."

Paltrow instead prefers to stay fit with a regular workout routine -- the Tracy Anderson Method -- and a balanced diet, with the occasional cheat.

"Allow yourself programmed treats -- I often have a glass of red wine in the evening and smoke a cigarette on a Saturday," she advised readers in the Telegraph column. "I love those moments because they are just the right amount of naughty."

"That balance keeps you vibrant," she concluded. "You have to live your life, after all."

Jennifer Aniston Stripper Diet: How She Prepped for Sexy We're the Millers Role

Jennifer Aniston is a lean, mean kale-eating machine! In her new comedy We're the Millers, the 44-year-old went on a strict diet to get into even better shape than she usually is to play a stripper.

"I was on a very like, you know, greens and vegetables and lean proteins and kale," Aniston told Access Hollywood of her diet plan. But the Friends star adds that she "did eat" on the day of her big stripping scene, where she strips into lingerie in front of costars Jason Sudeikis, Emma Roberts and Will Poulter. "When I really wanted to have a cheat day," she said, "I had to have a kale chip."

In addition to eating right, Aniston also had to focus on getting an injured knee ready to handle the sexy moves. "It wasn't easy because I'd just had knee surgery a month and a half before. It was a little bit tedious. And then also just getting trained physically -- I was really in shape then," she told USA Today. "I was in the kind of shape I don't enjoy being in because it feels a little too fit."'

Unfortunately, Justin Theroux's fiancee still needs to have another knee surgery done "in a about a month." "I have a hole in a tendon that's leaking fluid," she shared. "Is that pleasant? It hurts. It feels creepy. But let's not talk about that."

Even though she got her body into amazing shape to strip in the Rawson Marshall Thurber-directed film, Aniston was still nervous that her "kibbles and bits" would accidentally be exposed -- so she doubled up on lingerie!

"I had no taping. I really just doubled my bras. I had a thong and then two pairs of underwear," Aniston told Access Hollywood. "Why I thought that was going to help protect anything is beyond me. Because, that's just like ridiculous . . . I was like, 'No, I need three bras! I need three bras because God forbid that one, if it's gonna escape!'"

Jamie Lee Curtis Wears Low-Cut Black Swimsuit at Age 54

Jamie Lee Curtis has never looked better! The actress and Activia spokeswoman, 54, showed off her incredible beach body when she donned a low-cut black swimsuit during a Hawaiian getaway with friends on Thursday, July 25. Curtis, who next appears in the Veronica Mars movie, also wore wet shoes and a silver necklace while wading through the Pacific Ocean.

Though Curtis has admitted to getting plastic surgery in the past, she has since learned to love her looks the older she gets. "Aging is as natural as a baby's softness and scent," the Halloween star wrote in a March 2012 blog for The Huffington Post. "Aging is human evolution in its pure form."

"Genetics are the key to aging," continued the Hollywood veteran, best known known for roles in A Fish Called Wanda and True Lies. "I now resemble both my grandmothers, where when I was younger I didn't see them at all, and if I am now looking at myself with the eye of one who can look back at photos and movies and commercials and miss the good old days, that would be a wasted life. We are ALL going to age and soften and mellow and transition. All of us, if we are lucky enough to make it through this hard life into older adulthood."

Curtis -- mom to daughter Annie, 27, and son Thomas, 17, with director husband Christopher Guest, 65 -- has long been an advocate of embracing her natural looks. Covering the September 2002 issue of More, the star asked to be photographed without makeup, a manicure, hairstyling or fancy clothes.

"There's a reality to the way I look without my clothes on," she told the magazine. "I don't have great thighs. I have very big breasts and a soft, fatty little tummy. And I've got back fat. People assume that I'm walking around in little spaghetti-strap dresses. It's insidious -- Glam Jamie, the Perfect Jamie, the great figure, blah, blah, blah. And I don't want the unsuspecting 40-year-old women of the world to think that I've got it going on. It's such a fraud. And I'm the one perpetuating it."

In the interview, the Freaky Friday star copped to getting liposuction and Botox -- but said neither procedure improved her appearance. "None of it works," she said. "None of it."

"Ten years ago, before anybody did that, I had fat taken from underneath my eyes because I was on a movie and I was puffy," Curtis recalled. "And I remember the cameraman saying, 'I can't shoot her now.' I remember being mortified. And yet, you know what? Nobody tells you if you take fat from your body in one place, it comes back in another place. All of these 'betting' experiences are not without risk. And there is this illusion that once you do it, then you'll be fine. And that's just horsesh-t. I looked worse."

Nick Jonas Shares Shirtless Picture on Instagram, Unveils Buff Body

Who knew Nick Jonas had such a buff body? The Jonas Brothers singer, 20, showed off his impressive physique via Instagram on Tuesday, July 30. "I never do this, but. . ." the pop star wrote in the photo caption. "Healthy living and fitness update. Post workout picture. #diabeticinshape #2.0."

Posing shirtless and exposing his hairy chest, the "First Time" singer struck a seductive pose and flexed his biceps. The image immediately elicited a slew of excited responses from Jonas' fans. "This totally made me feel better after my crappy day at work," one user wrote. Another admirer pleaded, "Marry me and make babies!"

Jonas -- single since his February 2012 split with Australian pop star Delta Goodrem -- has been tweeting about his fitness quest since the spring. "Workout done. Food. Then set," he told his followers on Friday, May 10.

Though he hasn't detailed his exact workout routine, Jonas did tell Us Weekly about his healthy eating habits at Z100's Clear Channel radio studios in New York City on Thursday, July 25. "I love dried kale with seasoning on it," he revealed.

Sharon Stone, 55, Rocks Bikini Body in Italy: Picture

Hot mama! Sharon Stone is taking full advantage of the summer sun, by showing off her fit body in a tiny white bikini while on location in Italy.

The 55-year-old Basic Instinct actress and divorced mother of three was photographed taking time out to relax and swim off the side of "La Lucia" with a friend on Wednesday, July 24. Going make-up free, the stunner took a dive off a boat, mingled with a mystery man on deck, and later read her iPad while wrapped in a beach towel. With her blonde hair pulled back and her sunglasses on, she then went for a more toned down look by accessorizing with a white kaftan and over-the-shoulder bag the following day.

"It’s not like fifty is the new thirty. It’s like fifty is the new chapter. We know so much at this age, and people realize we’re the ones with experience. We’re a very colorful generation that is leading once again," the blonde beauty told NEW YOU magazine about embracing the aging process in its July 2013 issue. "I can’t tell you how many doctors try to sell me a facelift. I’ve even gone as far as having someone talk me into it, but when I went over and looked at pictures of myself, I thought,'What are they going to lift?"

Adding, "Yes, I have come close - but, frankly, I think that in the art of aging well there’s this sexuality to having those imperfections. It’s sensual."

The Oscar nominee is currently shooting an Italian film called Un Ragazzo D'Oro, which translates as The Golden Boy. When she wasn't taking in the rays, Stone was also spotted visiting Venice with her two sons Roan, 13, and Quinn, 7. 

The time off set comes just six months after reportedly splitting in January 2013 from Argentinian model boyfriend, Martin Mica. The pair dated for eight months, but her rep told Us Weekly "no comment" about the alleged breakup at the time.

 

Mackenzie Rosman, Ruthie From 7th Heaven, Strips to Lingerie for Maxim

What would Reverend Camden say? Former 7th Heaven star Mackenzie Rosman strips down to skimpy lingerie in a sexy pictorial for the September issue of Maxim. The 23-year-old actress, who played the religious family's youngest daughter, Ruthie Camden, acknowledges that the racy photo shoot will likely cause some controversy.

When asked if people will "be surprised" to see her in such a provocative state, the former child star replies, "They might be. But you know what? It's who I am."

Rosman isn't the first 7th Heaven star to pose for a men's magazine: Jessica Biel, who played her big sister, Mary, posed topless on the cover of Gear in 2000. At the time, Biel was 17 and Rosman was 9. "I remember that. It was a big deal," Rosman recalls. "The magazine was banned on set, I think by orders of Aaron Spelling. I sneaked a peek at it, though. It was racy gossip amongst the women of 7th Heaven."

(Biel later admitted that she regrets her racy spread, telling Entertainment Weekly in November 2008, "That photo shoot was just a really bad decision on my part and I got myself involved with people who weren't thinking about me and were instead thinking about what kind of a story they could get out of it.")

Despite the trouble Biel's Gear cover caused on set, Rosman tells Maxim she "looked up to Jessie a lot. She and I connected; we were just more alike than the others."

When it comes to dating, Rosman says she values "manners" above all else. "Like, just be respectful. I don't deal with the whole bad boy who doesn't call you," she says. "That doesn't interest me at all, and I just look the other way."

Rossman also reveals that she has a boyfriend -- though she doesn't divulge the lucky guy's name.

Christina Aguilera Shows Off Major Weight Loss, Skinny Body at The Voice Event

Christina Aguilera definitely knows how to make her haters eat their words. The returning Voice coach turned heads at an NBC press event in Beverly Hills on Saturday, July 27, when she rocked the carpet in a tight pink minidress that revealed some major weight loss and a new, fit figure.

The 32-year-old singer looked tan and rested in a clingy pink frock as she struck poses on the red carpet, her long blonde hair down in loose waves. A source tells Us that Aguilera has managed her slim-down with a combination of healthy eating and working out.

"It's more of a mind-body thing for her," a source previously told Us of Aguilera's commitment to shedding the pounds. "She believes in exercise that she enjoys, doing strength work as opposed to intense cardio."

The singer has been showing off a slimmer figure in recent weeks, and made headlines when she debuted an estimated 20-pound weight loss on The Voice season four finale on June 18, when she performed opposite Pitbull for her No.1 hit "Feel This Moment."

"I'm the type of person that I cannot live in front of a camera 24 hours a day," the "Your Body" singer told reporters on Saturday. "I have to take breaks and stay connected with myself, and I think it's important so that you can then be your best on-camera and find your own happiness with it."

Last fall, Aguilera faced major scrutiny over her fluctuating weight, leading co-coach Adam Levine to speak up in her defense during a Q&A in New York City on Oct. 26.

"The one thing about 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," he said at the time. "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."

People's Court Judge Marilyn Milian Goes Topless on Caribbean Beach Vacation

People's Court judge Marilyn Milian deserves to let loose once in a while -- and she did just that on a recent beach vacation with her family. Ditching her traditional judicial robes and sunbathing topless in a pair of bikini bottoms, the outspoken 52-year-old showed just how comfortable she is in her own skin.

Per the New York Post, Milian was vacationing in the Caribbean with her husband, Florida Judge John Schlesinger. They were accompanied by their three daughters, Cristina, Alexandra, and Sofia.

A former Florida state circuit court judge, Milian took over The People's Court in 2001. She is the first female judge to preside over the long-running show, and the first Latina to host a nationally syndicated TV court program. Last September marked her 12th season on the show's bench, making her one of the longest-serving judges in People's Court history.

"I was always a little too responsible," she told the New York Times in 2008 of becoming a lawyer at 23. "While my friends were dancing on tables, I was prosecuting first-degree murder cases."

Miley Cyrus Poses Fully Nude for Marc Jacobs' Skin Cancer Campaign

Miley Cyrus is taking it all off -- but this time, it's for a good cause.

Cyrus unveiled the T-shirt design via Twitter on Thursday, July 25.

In the provocative image, Cyrus covers her genitals with both hands. Her nipples are hidden underneath the words "Protect The Skin You're In."

"Ts are available at 9 Marc Jacobs boutiques including SanFran, LA, Chicago, New York, Boston & Savannah GA!" Cyrus told her Twitter followers.

Previous celebrities who have stripped for the "Protect The Skin You're In" campaign include Victoria Beckham, Heidi Klum, Miranda Kerr, Dita Von Teese, Naomi Campbell, Bar Refaeli, Chloe Sevigny, Noah Mills, Marisa Miller, Doutzen Kroes, DJ Ruckus, Helena Christensen and Rufus Wainwright.

Just recently, the mom to Ava, 15, (her dad is Locklear's rocker ex, Richie Sambora), showed off her rocking bikini body while vacationing with friends.

What's her slim-down secret? "Weights!" the blonde beauty told Chelsea Handler in June. "Stupid, boring weights."

Shakira Unveils Slim Bikini Body Six Months After Giving Birth to Milan

She's got The Voice and the body! Six months after giving birth to son Milan, Shakira showed off her perfect physique in Hawaii on Sunday, July 21. Wearing a ruffled string bikini and a sheer sarong, the "Addicted to You" singer was joined by her boyfriend and baby daddy, soccer player Gerard Pique.

Shakira continued to show off her slim post-baby body when she donned a similarly sexy pink bikini three days later. The Colombian singer, 36, and her Spanish beau, 26, were photographed kissing in the Pacific Ocean and walking hand-in-hand along the shore. Their son was M.I.A. at the beach, though the happy family was photographed having lunch at a Mexican grill and cantina on July 21.

At one point during their romantic getaway, Shakira and Pique took a break from tanning to go fishing on an outrigger canoe.

In the July issue of ELLE, Shakira opens up about her romance with Pique, whom she began dating in 2011. "He has his own world and that's actually one of the healthiest things about the relationship," she revealed. "I know that he's the one person who is with me not because of any interest other than the love that unites us. There's nothing I can offer him beyond my womanhood -- does that word exist in English?"

Regarding motherhood, Shakira tells the magazine, "Some people put it like it's very idyllic, some people put it like it's a torturing experience, but it's not quite one thing or the other. It's like life -- it comes with everything."

She adds, "I'm still trying to figure it out. And I have a feeling I will try to do the same for the rest of my life."

Kate Middleton's Mom Carole, Sister Pippa Won't Be in Delivery Room

Kate Middleton has the full love and support of her mum and sis -- but that doesn't mean Carole and Pippa Middleton will be coaching the Duchess of Cambridge in the birthing suite at St. Mary's Hospital. Contrary to speculation, Kate's mother Carole, 58, and sister Pippa will not be in the delivery room in the Lido Wing as Kate welcomes her first born. "Buckingham Palace denied rumors that they were going to be in the delivery room with Kate. She very much wants just her husband to be there," NBC News reported on Monday, July 22.

Nevertheless, members of the Middleton family left the family home in Bucklebury early Monday after news broke that Kate had gone into labor, with husband Prince William escorting her into the hospital early that morning.

And, had Kate ever found herself out of reach of a hospital, her mother was in fact equipped to deliver her: A former British Airways flight attendant, Carole had been trained to act as an emergency midwife back in 1976, Marcia Moody confirmed in her book Kate: A Biography.

Kate and William, both 31, spent the final week of her pregnancy at the Middleton home to escape London's stifling heat (the family abode features a swimming pool and air condition) -- returning to London last Friday.

I love my hair most when we let it go raw and natural."

Squirrels to the Nuts is about a married Broadway director who falls for a former prostitute and helps her with her acting career. The film, directed by Hollywood vet Peter Bogdanovich, also stars Owen Wilson, Kathryn Hahn, Cybill Shepherd and Eugene Levy.

After wearing a skimpy bikini for the majority of her recent Florida-set flick Spring Breakers, the 24-year-old actress isn't too shy to show off her incredible beach bod.

Hudgens is currently in Italy to attend the 2013 Ischia Global Film Festival and Music Festival for her latest film, The Frozen Ground. The Scott Walker-directed thriller, also starring Nicolas Cage and John Cusack, is about a prostitute who escapes a serial killer and partners with an Alaska State Trooper to bring the murderer to justice.

"Ever since I was young, I wanted to play really heavy and intense roles and really push myself in a dramatic direction," Hudgens told the spring issue of Paper magazine about her role in The Frozen Ground. "So I was like, 'A prostitute! I can play a prostitute! This is going to be exciting.'"

Daniel Radcliffe's Skinny Appearance Caused By "Demanding Role"

Daniel Radcliffe is giving his mind, body and soul to a new theater role -- but especially his body! The 23-year-old actor stepped out looking skinnier than ever on Thursday, July 18, after appearing on stage in the Martin McDonagh play The Cripple of Inishmaan.

Radcliffe looked thin, pale and exhausted while leaving Noel Coward Theatre in London wearing a tight blue shirt, jeans and cap. Before Harry Potter fans became too concerned about the star's gaunt appearance, omg! spoke to his rep, who explained the show "is a very demanding role, physically."

"At every night's performance, there is large crowd at the stage door and he takes the time to sign autographs and pose for pictures at length," Radcliffe's rep said. "Regardless of the extreme London heat wave." 

The Cripple of Inishmaan is a dark comedy about a 17-year-old orphan who tries to escape his unhappy life when a Hollywood film crew arrives in town. In an interview with Time Out: London in June, Radcliffe said he was working on writing his own screenplay and using McDonagh as inspiration.

"It's a serious attempt at a black comedy. A very, very, very dark comedy," the actor said of his work. "I've always loved the way Martin McDonagh writes. That very economical but rhythmic way he writes the interplay between characters. You learn about their relationships through how they're talking not what they're saying. That's the kind of writing I love and I aspire to. And it's got a fair amount of blood in it, too. In that way, I'm just ripping Martin off!'"
