Here’s a pic of hers taken just last June — makeup-less and chubby!
And here is Hilary Duff, 3 months later (filming War, Inc.) — sexxxy belly!
Mariah Carey, who recently lost around 14 pounds, appeared on Oprah yesterday and shared some of her diet and fitness secrets with the rest of the world.
“My jean size went down to my 10th grade size,” the 38-year-old revealed Monday.
“I got tired to people telling me, ‘You need to lose weight,’” she said. “It inspired me.”
“For me, it’s not about a number on a scale,” she added. “It’s not about necessarily even a size. It’s about feeling good and being comfortable in your own skin. Right now, I feel really great. I feel better than I’ve ever felt.” [Us]
Mariah is a well-known yo-yo dieter, her weight fluctuating a lot throughout the years. But a recent comment about her weight made by a close friend inspired her to make some permanent changes in her life and get into shape once and for all. Mariah’s “secret weight loss weapon” is her nutrition and fitness coach, who helped her reshape her body, but also makes sure she follows her strict diet.
Mariah says her workouts typically last for 60 to 90 minutes and combine cardio with resistance training. To tone her arms, Mariah uses her own body weight and stretches to sculpt long, lean lines. She likes to hop into a pool for the cardio portion of her workout. “What’s great about working out in the pool is the water acts as resistance,” she says. “You’re actually exercising twice as hard without feeling it.” [Oprah]
Some of you see no difference, and it’s true, Mariah was never “fat” - but she was a lot heavier before (about two years ago). Here’s a comparison photo from a 2006 concert:

Katie Price (aka Jordan) has vowed never to have cosmetic surgery again.
Katie recently had a nose job and a breast reduction on her previously surgically-enhanced boobs, but now she says she’s finished with surgery.
She said: “I won’t have any more surgery now. That’s it. I’m 100 per cent happy.”
Jordan - who has two children Junior, two, and eight-month-old Princess Tiaamii with husband Peter Andre as well as a five-year-old son Harvey from a previous relationship - insists she will rely on traditional methods to get herself into shape.
She said: “My body isn’t perfect - I know I need to get to the gym and get some abs, but I’m just so lazy.” [FemaleFirst]
It’s a very good thing she’s done with plastic surgery… at least she knew when to stop (unlike other celebrities who went way too far with that!). And I’m pretty amazed by how good she looks in the right picture (taken only nine months after she gave birth to her daughter).

This week’s Star Magazine’s cover features celebrities with and without makeup (I love this kind of pictures!). Most of them are very pretty anyway, but sometimes wearing makeup makes a big difference!
View some of the “before and after putting on makeup” pictures after the jump (am I the only one who thinks Jessica Simpson looks much more beautiful in the picture where she’s not wearing any makeup?).
British TV presenter Myleene Klass, who gave birth to her daughter last August, not only lost all of her pregnancy weight, but is now at risk of losing her famous curves as well.
The new mother cut an incredibly lean figure in a tight black satin gown as she arrived to host the Mayfair Personality of the Year Awards at the Grosvenor House Hotel last night.
The star has previously put her rapid weight loss down to her hectic schedule and the demands of motherhood.
She has said: “I think breast-feeding helped, and running up and down stairs all day.”
But her shrinking frame is likely to disappoint admirers - including fiancé Graham ‘Gray’ Quinn - who have celebrated her shapely physique. [Daily Mail]
