The Hanah Montana star Miley Cyrus has had enough of the bullying when it comes to her weight and she has finally spoken out about it. A couple of weeks ago when some photos came out with Miley wearing a bikini at the beach she was bombarded with negative remarks by internet goons who said she looked fat. Miley fired back by twittering that this gossip encourages online cyber-bullying and it has to stop. She tweeted,
“Talk all you want. I have my flaws. I’m a normal girl (sic) theres things about my body I would change but stop with calling me f*t in post. I dont even like the word. Those remarks that you hateful people use are fighting words. The ones that scar people and cause them to do damage to themselves or others.”

Sandra Bullock always looks amazing. Her positive energy is evident in her films and in the interviews with televisions and magazines. Her newest movie, The Proposal, which came out this summer has been a hit, and let’s not forget to mention that apart from her great acting in the film she looks great as well. In InStyle magazine, Sandra was asked how often she cheats on her diets, she replied,
“I start Friday night and I end Saturday night. But it is not so regimented. I’ll make lists of what I want to eat this week or next week. I was in the store Marfa and they had this dark chocolate with bacon in it so I’ve gotta try that! I eat really well because I can afford to. Like last night I had brown rice and black beans and some steamed vegetables so today I’m going to have all kinds of good stuff! I love sweets, like Viennese pastry, raw cookie dough, or a nice bowl of Lucky Charms with milk that I eat in bed watching SNL. That’s heaven right there!”
She also revealed a bit of her workout routine and admitted that looking good is part of the package when being a celebrity.
“People ask, ‘How do actresses do it?’ Um, they pay us to do this in order to look good on film. I do Pilates, kickboxing, weight training. When I’m in Austin, I run or ride a bike. If I can work out every day, I will. But there are times when I won’t do anything for two weeks, and I’m, like, you know what? I talk enough to burn calories.”

A couple of months ago Kirstie Alley was getting both magazine and television interviews where she confessed that she felt she let people down after having gained all of her weight back that she previously lost while on the Jenny Craig diet. After the Jenny Craig stint ended in 2007, Kirstie admitted to throwing out her home gym equipment and got back on to old eating habits.
“My food demons are Chinese food, sugar, butter. If I’m at the movies, usually I eat popcorn without butter, but I’d say, ‘I’m at the movies, so who cares?’ And toast with butter. There was a lot of butter going on.”
She even said that this time she was going to do it right, lose the weight on her own and later not just reveal a new body but also her own weight loss product. However, when she was spotted last week at the Los Angeles airport it looks as if she hasn’t lost any weight yet. Earlier that day she twittered,
“What to pack? what to wear today? Does my ass look big without clothes? who are you NOT wearing on the red carpet? makes life so much easier.’
She then wrote,
“OH YES and I will be investing in the SPRAY TAN industry…and necklaces.”
That all doesn’t make a lot of sense, but then nor does it make sense that this woman who is such a great actress and comedian can’t seem to get a grasp on her health.
“I’m ready to work. I messed up along the way, but I’m not going to concentrate on that. I’m gonna go, “You know what? Get back on the horse, lose the freakin’ weight, and then just move forward!”

Entourage Emmy winner, Jeremy Piven, has been off fish for 10 months now. In past interviews he has talked of his healthy diet and yoga habits, but this past year he had to quickly stop working on a Broadway revival show when he became very ill because he was ‘too healthy.’ Because of his quick departure the producers of the show did file charges, however, now that Piven has undergone testing he discovered he had mercury poisoning as a result of eating too much fish.
“I haven’t had a piece of fish since the doctor told me to lower my blood mercury level. So, it’s been almost 10 months now. I changed all of those habits,” Piven says of his life post-Broadway. “All of these things happen to make us better. So, you’ve got to embrace that.”
Apart from mercury poisoning he was also diagnosed with arrhythmia.
“I’m a lot better. What basically happens is when you work your whole life without stopping like I’ve done, you end up in the hospital. Basically, I had a cardiologist say your body is trying to catch up and it can’t. I had a resting heart rate of 47, something called arrhythmia, along with all the mercury poisoning.”
Piven was quick to add that it wasn’t the fish that poisoned him but what the fish consume while in the wild.
“By the way, for the record, it’s the not the fish’s fault,” Piven says. “It’s a man-made problem. It’s all the mercury being dumped. Women shouldn’t eat tuna, especially when you’re pregnant.”
The avid sushi lover has now learned to balance his diet appropriately.
“You just change your life and kind of do it. It wasn’t necessarily the sushi. It was just a steady diet of fish. Twice a day for 20 years. That’s not right for anyone.”

Marissa has also learned to shake up her home workout with some Beyonce tunes:
“Because dancing is way more fun then the treadmill, I downloaded the video of Beyoncé’s “Single Ladies” and started to learn her dance. Let me tell you, if I ever did that dance in a club I would still be a single lady!!! But what a workout! It was free and fun and it kept my son very entertained – it was like a real-life Muppet danced out of his TV and into the living room. It kept him and, sadly, my husband very amused for almost an hour.”
This week, Marissa is focusing on not nibbling on her child’s Spaghetti O’s and exercising every day of the week!

Beyonce, always fit and always fabulous, gave some diet advice to the readers of SELF Magazine. One would think that since she works out five days a week, runs miles, dances for hours and does a zillion lunges and squats that she could eat whatever she wants. But her diet tips show a healthy balance of eating right and allowing for a few splurges from time to time. First, she advised to eat five or six small meals a day in order to ward off cravings.
“If I’m sitting around at home, I’m not going to want the 100-calorie Oreos,” she told SELF. “I’m going to want the real Oreos and milk. Staying busy…I have more discipline.”
Her next tip is to allow for those indulgences.
“Comfort food helps. I allow myself one bad meal every week. Yesterday, I had pizza and wine. There’s too much good out there to never indulge.”
When it comes to healthy foods she is sure to eat lots of chicken and fish and she jazzes it up with ketchup or hot sauce. She also mentioned her ‘Sasha Salad’ made of lettuce, tomato, avocado, jalapenos and chicken breast. Lastly, she mentioned that she feels she’s at her best when she’s not too thin or too heavy.
“I feel best when I’m not really thin and not really heavy, when I’m still curvy,” she told SELF. “I really believe that everyone is supposed to be different, and whatever is a natural weight for you is usually what looks best.”

The two-time champ of Dancing with the Stars, Cheryl Burke is in great shape. Sure, she had a moment with the tabloids this year when they said she had gained weight, but overall she is in great shape. She’s got a dancer’s body and even if she does gain or lose five pounds here and there does it really matter? This month, Cheryl gave SELF magazine the scoop on her workout regimen during the off-season of the show. According to SELF,
“….she runs 3 1/2 miles a day, six days a week, and follows up with 40 minutes of strength training using her own body weight. Girl loves to sweat! Her only foible? She admitted that she never stretches.”
Cheryl also has some fitness business ventures in the works. She has been working on her own brand of fitness clothes for dance and exercise; Fit Couture. In addition, she has signed on as the new spokesperson for Jazzercise. Yes, the company who made revealing leotards and leggings famous in the early ’80s is still around. Let’s hope that Cheryl can ‘jazz up’ Jazzercise and get them back into popular fitness training

American Idol winner Jordin Sparks is gearing up for her cross-country summer tour with the Jonas Brothers. She told Self magazine that last summer she didn’t keep up an exercise regimen and she noticed the change in her health and performances. But this time around in 2009 she has a different plan. She said,
“Last year, I didn’t do anything to stay in shape on tour,” Jordin confesses. “I just kind of loved the fact that I was on tour. But I was exhausted all the time, and I realize now, if I had worked out and ate healthier and made smarter choices, I would have had a lot more energy onstage.”
The most important change she’ll be making is having a personal trainer on hand to keep her on a fitness schedule, not necessarily to be skinny but to be healthy:
“I actually, for the first time in my life, asked to have a trainer…. It’s cool to be able to look in the mirror and see the tone and muscle now–even though it’s not what I was going for, just being healthy is an amazing thing.”
Jordin also mentioned that getting up in the morning and getting her workouts done will help her energy levels:
“Getting up and getting out of bed, that’s the hardest part,” the star admits. “I cherish the time when I actually get to sleep! So I just tell myself I know I’ll feel so much better, and I know that if I start my day like that, I’m more like to get other things done, too, instead of putting them off.”
As for music, Jordin said that anything by Kanye West keeps her moving and motivated during workouts.

Fitness icon Richard Simmons was a surprise guest on the CNN show The Shot with Anderson Cooper to talk about his efforts to get kids in shape. He explained that over the past three years he has been campaigning to get PE classes and recess back on the school schedules.
“For three years I’ve been trying to get PE back into the school system. In Americas there is 25 million obese children…I’m at City Hall tomorrow, here in New York for a big pep rally to get people going and I hope I’m going to have a meeting with President Obama and Michelle [Obama] and make out a plan. I hope.”
Anderson joked with Simmons about his infamous exercise outfit that consists of a red sparkly tank and itsy-bitsy shorts. Simmons admitted he’s a ‘clown and a court jester’ but he’s been doing this for 35 years and that’s just how he is.
“…35 years, but now I’m really worried about our kids. And all day long I get emails from parents who are very concerned about their obese kids, they’re not moving. The school has taken PE and recess out…and we have to get that back in.”
This year alone, Simmons has visited 26 schools and taught classes to kids.
“The kid who learns is the kid who moves….We have to do this for our kids or they will become overweight teenagers and then they will become overweight adults and then what’s going to happen to our health care system?”
Good luck to Richard Simmons and may he get his meeting with the President and the First Lady.
