Britney Spears is so close to having her old body back and seriously, I couldn’t be happier for her. I’ve been insanely jealous but also insanely happy. Imagine how much happier I became when I realized that I too can have Brit’s banging Circus body!

To get into tour-ready shape, Britney headed to renowned choreographer Jamie King, who’s also worked with Madonna, Rihanna, and other superstars who put on sweat-worthy shows. But while you probably can’t hire King for your own personal routine, you can work out to his DVD, “Rock Your Body”…which features a short workout and how-to moves for a hip-hop routine.

“Rock Your Body” isn’t a traditional workout video, so some of its styling is kind of rough (King says “go left” when he’s moving right, for example, since he’s facing you). Still, you’ll really feel your abs and core engage as you learn the steps.

“All dance moves begin at the core,” Van Daff says. “You can’t shake, squat, bend, twirl, gyrate or any other dance related movement without a strong core.” [Source]

I tried the “Dancing with the Stars” workout last summer and it was totally complicated. Perhaps this one will be more my speed.

Jessica Simpson ended her tour with Rascal Flats on Friday night and fans were pleased to find her rocking those Daisy Dukes like a true champion. We all know that this has been a rough few months for Jessica, what with all the gossip about her weight gain, but it seems that the super-blonde songstress is back on track.

After being criticized for her figure upon starting off the tour, Jess has certainly slimmed down - with her longtime personal trainer Mike Alexander recently talking about the situation with FOX Pop Tarts’ Hollie McKay.

“The whole thing wasn’t as traumatic for Jessica as everyone made it out to be. She’s a confident and naturally beautifully girl who works hard,” Alexander tells.

“Jessica is now at the end of her tour and looks great. It’s not easy to have a super strict diet when you are touring so you just have to make the best of the restaurants you go too but she’s knows what to eat and what not to and we talk about all of that,” he adds. [Source]

Hmmm…not quite sure the ol’ girl stuck to that super strict diet when she was consuming Denver a few weeks ago but who cares? She looks great in the shorts and that is apparently all that matters to anyone.

Jessica Simpson’s vow to enjoy her size 16 curves has gone out for a toss. The singer has crashed back to her slimline frame. Her yo-yo-ing weight had become a topic of national controversy with everyone from Dolly Parton to Barack Obama sighting her example.

Jessica - who recently boasted ‘curves are better’ - ditched jeans in favour of her trademark hot pants to thrill the crowds at the final night of the Strawberry Festival Sunday in America. This is what she had to say after revealing a string of hellish diets and exercise regimes.

‘Honestly, I am right where I’m supposed to be. I am so happy, Curves are better. I don’t get the whole rail thing. It’s not good for your heart, it’s not good for your mind; it’s emotionally destructive, it really is.’

Pop superstar Britney Spears showed her new great shape on her Circus world tour thanks to her sensible eating regime. On the eagerly anticipated tour gig promoters have been asked to provide healthy food for her and the 50-strong cast.

And the star has never looked better.The singer put on show a glowing skin, a fit toned body and show-stopping curves which has been wowing the crowds.

Her backstage menu includes a fresh-sliced fruit platter, a freshly-cut veggie platter with dip and a small bowl of fresh tuna with mayo, eggs and relish. The only exceptions to the healthy eating regime are two bags of crisp-style snacks and six cans of Coke.

Fans now can’t wait for her to come to the UK for eight nights in the O2 arena in London

Kylie Minogue emerged an outright winner in the fashion stakes at the 2009 BRITs last night. It was a perfect sixy for Kylie when she clocked up an impressive six costume change throughout the awards.

She started the night, arriving at Earls Court, London looking every inch the A-list star in a floor-length black sequinned evening gown, but soon stripped off into a seductive white outfit, showing off as much leg as possible. Before the audience could catch their breath, she emerged again in a candy-coloured mini dress.

After another quick change, she appeared on stage in a green combat print mini-dress, with long train, followed by an embelleshing evening gown. For the finale, Kylie chose the shortest dress of all - a sequinned red mini-dress.

Not sure about her, but the audience was definitely spinning around.

Despite being considered one of the hottest women on the planet, Nicole Scherzinger doesn’t think she’s sexy - in fact, she says she’s more of a nerd.

“No one hits on me,” she tells People magazine.

“I probably scare the living daylights out of most men. I don’t really see myself as sexy; I’m the biggest nerd I know.” [Source]

Here’s the nerdy Nicole performing with the Pussycat Dolls in Sydney, Australia on Wednesday (October 15). The girls are currently touring to promote their new single “When I Grow Up“.

Unlike other musicians’ backstage demands, Rihanna doesn’t ask for extravagant foods, keeping her requests pretty simple. During her tour, she asks for lots of fruit, Buffalo wings, fried chicken and white rice.

As part of a contract for the 20-year-old’s world tour, the Barbadian beauty reportedly demands that each venue supply her with two packs of pink bubblegum, two apples, two mangos, two pears, seedless grapes and strawberries. She also asks for two knives (to cut the fruit), a teapot and 24 warm Buffalo wings, fried chicken and spiced white rice. [Page Six]

I think that’s a pretty healthy diet, especially considering all the dancing she’s doing during her concerts. (More on Rihanna’s diet here.)
