The True Blood star Anna Paquin has successfully made the transition from being a child star to a respected actress in Hollywood. She also has a healthy disposition and we don’t see her getting stereotyped as being an emotional wreck such as other young stars like Lindsay Lohan and Mischa Barton. In this week’s US Magazine the 27-year-old gave a few healthy tips on how she looks so great. Anna’s fitness routine incorporates various exercises such as swimming, pilates and she has even tried surfing. She said,
“I’m obsessed with Pilates.”
Anna also like to watch gymnastics and she has taken trapeze classes before which is a great form of exercise. In the photo above, Anna was spotted just last week taking trapeze lessons with her fiance, Stephen Moyer.
“I’ve always wanted to be a circus performer, so I took aerial silks classes at Trapeze School New York a few years ago.”
Apart from leading an active lifestyle Anna is sure to get a lot of rest, take plenty of naps and she avoids unhealthy habits. As for her two vices she told the magazine that they are kombucha (a sweetened and fermented tea) and coffee.

Staying fit for Mischa Barton’s new show The Beautiful Life has not been the easiest task for this emotionally delicate celebrity. Now that she lives in Manhattan she frequents Equinox gym each day. She’s obviously getting in her workouts, working with trainers, etc…, but other gym members aren’t so happy about it. One gym member said that Mischa can be annoying and looks for attention and ‘monopolizes the trainers.’
Supposedly at Equinox there is one trainer on the floor to assist clients but Mischa is constantly seeking assistance. One gym-goer said,
“It’s as if she has never been to a gym before.”
In addition, Barton apparently stares at herself in the mirror the entire time and doesn’t necessarily attempt to blend in. Poor Mischa. When will the tabloids leave her alone? It would be interesting to know how many people annoy Mischa at the gym while she’s exercising and people interrupt her and ask for her autograph. Hmmmm….?

Mischa Barton has been told to lose weight by her producers. The 23-year-old star of the new hit TV show, The Beautiful Life, was “shocked to tears” when she was told to 10 pounds to be able to play her role as a model, believably.
July wasn’t the best month for Mischa Barton. After spending several days in a psychiatric ward because of suffering a breakdown she has been spotted on the set of her new TV show A Beautiful Life looking full of energy and ready to get down to business. In addition, she has been frequenting the Equinox Gym in New York City and has hired a personal trainer. A source told People magazine,
“Mischa is really focused on getting into shape.”
It’s possible this new fitness plan is just what the gal needs to clear her head. The source said last month that Mischa wasn’t feeling confident about her body and this was causing a lot of stress. And that’s completely understandable considering the pressures that celebrities get to be picture -perfect at all times. But now that she has relocated to New York to film her new show she is focused on fitness and ready to make a change. The source revealed,
“Mischa has been doing a lot of conditioning with weights as well as cardio on the treadmill, and some kickboxing,” says a source. “She’s been very consistent and she seems focused.”

How is it that dieting for male celebrities seems to be so easy? Case in point: Robbie Williams. The international rock star has been a yo-yo dieter for years but you don’t see his body plastered all over the tabloids when he’s in a chubby phase. It’s easy for him because he just decides when it’s time to get in shape if a new album is coming out or he’s preparing for a concert tour where he knows he’ll be vamping around on stage without a shirt. Now here he is in 2009 preparing for his comeback as he has a new album coming out. He said,
“I’ve been a food ninja now for over two months. Food ninjary consists of not eating anything you like. No cake, no crisps, no chocolate. Surprisingly easier than I thought it would be. Well, easy when you’ve got a record coming out and you don’t want to look like the Michelin man.”
It probably is easy for him because during his downtime he doesn’t get taunted like Jessica Simpson, Mischa Barton and Jennifer Love Hewitt. All said and done, he’ll look great in the end and will have not gone through the emotional stresses like female celebrities.
His album, Reality Killed The Video Star, is due out in October.

Mischa Barton is currently being hospitalized at a psychiatric ward and no one seems to know why or how but there is something definitely going on because she even missed walking the red carpet last week for the premiere of her new movie, Homecoming.
It’s no secret that Mischa has struggled with fluctuating weight and now that her current condition is being scrutinized by all the news agency some sources have come forth to imply that Mischa is still struggling with body image issues.
“She has big self-esteem issues. … She hates her legs,” says a source close to Barton. “She isn’t comfortable with her body. It’s been a big source of stress and self-hate.”
Her insecurities were also fueled by the mean comments made by tabloids and bloggers.
“She had a big problem with those photos of her cellulite. … She didn’t like it,” says another source. “That just was something that contributed to her spiraling but she didn’t do much to fix it because of her partying.”
Another friend said,
“[She was] more pissed off than hurt and she complained a lot about that” – she didn’t let them get “to her too much. … I never saw her diet.”
But when photos showed a thinner Barton, she took to her blog and spoke out about the “crazy press,” telling fans that she’s “happier and healthier than ever so there’s no need to worry about me.”
Then when she lost heaps of weight people claimed she was too thin, so she spoke out about that on her own website. She wrote,
“Just be happy and secure with yourself,” she wrote on her Web site. “Don’t let other people’s perceptions of you dictate the way you live your life.”
Regardless of the rumors and gossip, as of now no one knows the real reason she has been admitted into the ward. But what’s more important is that she’s getting treatment.

The hunky Hugh Jackman who stars in the X-Men series and who also hosted the Emmy’s this past year is an avid exerciser. We’ve reported before on his rigorous X-Men workout that entails lots of cardio, strength training and pumping iron. But this summer Hugh has decided to shake up his routine and he’s laying off the weights and instead doing trapeze work. Jackman told Health Magazine,
“I do a lot of trapeze work right now. I do that because it’s fun and different, and I needed to get out of lifting weights. But I go back to the gym sometimes for lifting weights. I do a bit of everything. I just want to make sure I enjoy it. I also body surf almost every day. Now I work out to feel good, and how my body looks is a byproduct of that.”
The trapeze workout has been getting a lot of attention lately as celebrities like Kim Kardashian, Amy Winehouse and Mischa Barton have been spotted flying high in the air with the greatest of ease. In addition, the Jukari Fit to Fly/Reebok classes are slowing popping up in gyms in the US and Europe and it’s slowly gaining popularity amongst us non-celebs.

It seems like more and more stars are getting into the ’swing’ of things as they continue to get caught in the act soaring overhead with the greatest of ease. In previous posts we have mentioned that stars like Mischa Barton, Molly Sims and Amy Winehouse enjoy the trapeze-style workout and now as we see here, Kim Kardashian has given it a try too.
Mischa Barton is on the cover of Cosmo Magazine for May 2009 and she decided to go all out and do a photo shoot in the buff. Day in and day out the tabloids criticize her for being too thin, or anorexic or for revealing a bit of cellulite at the beach. Now she decided to bare all for Cosmo and said she wouldn’t change her figure for anything.
“It’s human nature to be self-critical, but it’s possible to like the way you look,” she said. “I’m happy now – I wouldn’t change my body, and I couldn’t anyway. The only way to be happy and be a more enjoyable person to be around is to embrace what you’ve got. Everyone has issues about their body, but I feel confident now. I’m healthy and happy.”
Recently, Hollywood celebrities are getting much more vocal about their eating habits and workouts by using the online micro-blogging service, Twitter, as their outlet. Some critics say it’s yet another way stars can self-promote but on the other hand, it may be a means for them to communicate before the gossip columns blow something out of proportion. Either way, we got the scoop on Ashton and Demi’s recent workout activity thanks to their tweets. Ashton, who is preparing for an upcoming role in a new project admitted that he has stepped up his workouts. He wrote,
“Time to get serious. I’m so paranoid about doing scenes with my shirt off.”
