Rosario Dawson and others use Power Plates to stay fit

The other day I posted a story about Fleetwood Mac singer, Stevie Nicks who claims to have dropped a ton of weight by using Power Plates. That was the first I’d ever heard of the strange, vibrating exercise contraption that is now taking Hollywood by storm.

Rosario Dawson and Kylie Minogue are fans of the Power Plate, a machine with a vibrating platform that creates a rigorous workout by triggering muscle contractions (between 30-50 times per second) while the user tries to stay balanced during exercise repetitions. “It is a great invention and a convenient, time-efficient workout,” says Minogue about the device, which reportedly helps tone, increase muscle strength as well as improve posture.

I don’t know that I would feel comfortable with the muscle contractions but hey, if it works, it works. Let’s just pray these ladies don’t start twitching involuntarily over the next few months.

So Sexy er .. Sixy Kylie Minogue

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.
