Madonna adoption disaster making her depressed

Madonna with Mercy

Madonna is freaking out over her adoption fiasco. As if the star’s insanely restrictive diet wasn’t already bad enough, Madge has apparently stopped eating all together. She has also ceased exercising, which is how we know things are really bad.

The singer has allegedly gone into a downward spiral since a court ruled against her adoption of four-year-old Mercy James from Malawi earlier this month, and friends are worried for her health.

A source said: “She has abandoned her strict macrobiotic diet and is virtually eating nothing. She has even stopped training since she returned from Malawi and seems to be in a trance a lot of the time.”

Madonna - who is a devout follower of Kabbalah, a mystical off-shoot of Judaism - has reportedly lost 5 lbs since the adoption was stopped and has struggled to keep her emotions in check while in public.

The source added to Britain’s Daily Express newspaper: “Madonna attended a Passover dinner in London held by members of her Kabbalah faith and broke down in tears about Mercy.

“She looked wiped out, telling guests she felt weak from lack of sleep and exercise. She said she felt too low to train which, for her, is unheard of.” [Source]

Does Madonna think that a hunger strike will get the Malawi government to reconsider? Time will tell. Let’s hope Madge can pull herself together soon. Her current kids could probably use a functional mom.

Jennifer Lopez suspends disbelief and butt

Jennifer Lopez and suspension trainer

Jennifer Lopez is far more interested in being a mommy these days than she is in being a movie star. With twin toddlers toddling around the house, it’s no surprise that J-Lo has stepped out of the limelight. However, Jennifer seems to be popping up a bit lately and she’s looking as fit as ever. Apparently, she and trainer Gunnar Peterson have been working out with the TRX Suspension Trainer

…a portable fitness tool that weighs less than 2 lbs. and can be anchored to a door or any secure point for a total-body workout. The singer-actress has “done push-ups on them, rows, hamstrings – there’s not a body part that you can’t hit using it,” says Peterson. “It allows you to work with your body weight depending on the angle and how much you pull on it.” [Source]

Sounds like a perfect at-home gym for stay-at-home moms, celebrity or otherwise.

Heidi Klum is four months pregnant

Heidi Klum is apparently pregnant with her fourth child. I don’t think this picture reveals much but some people are freaking out about a baby bump. Do you see it?

It seems that the Project Runway host will be attending a couture event soon and several leaked sketches of her redesigned maternity gowns were published on a website for a short time before being taken down.

Klum, 35, is married to 46 year old musician Seal.  They have two children: Henry 3, and Johan, 2.  Heidi also has a nearly 5 year old daughter Leni from a previous relationship. [Source]

“Project Runway” will be back again for a seventh season and if Heidi is indeed pregnant, I’m sure we’ll see plenty of bump on the show.

Whitney Port is too focused on workout

Whitney Port was so focused on getting her workout in yesterday that she completely forgot to feed the meter after parking her car near her Brentwood gym.

The “City” cutie emerged from the gym to find that she’d forgotten to put coins in the parking meter, discovering a parking ticket on her vehicle.

And according to a report, Miss Port has left her gig at Diane von Furstenburg and returned to her old job at the People’s Revolution public relations firm.

However, MTV is staying quiet about the move, telling press, “We are currently shooting the next season of episodes, and since the show is in production, we don’t comment on upcoming story lines.” [Source]

Whitney has so much going on it’s no wonder she’s forgetting the little things. Not too worried about ol’ Whit. I’m sure she’ll get it all figured out soon enough.

Vivica Fox is cougarific

I think Vivica Fox is a hot mess and totally perfect to host the new TV Land reality show, “The Cougar.” Don’t confuse Vivica’s new show with “Cougar Town,” which is Courtney Cox Arquette’s new show, or “Our Town,” a classic American play by Thornton Wilder that has very little to do with older women who dig younger men. Vivica recently sat down for an interview with the good folks at PopEater.com and had this to say about her new title.

I was so happy to see The Cougar was going to be a grown-up, sexy form of a dating show. It’s about time people understand that cougars are all the rage. We have to inform, empower and enlighten the rest of American women and let them know if they happen to meet a guy who is younger to give him a chance. It’s okay. Heads used to turn when you’d see an older woman with a younger guy. Guys have been doing it for years, and heads don’t turn. Well, now it’s our turn. Zac Efron is just so gorgeous to me. He’s a hot piece. I went [to see High School Musical] just to look at those beautiful blue eyes … They’re are just ‘Wow!’ Muy caliente! [Source]

Zac Efron couldn’t be reached for comment because he is currently cowering under his desk.

Shawn Johnson takes a night off DWTS and wins prestigious award

Shawn Johnson wins award

Shawn Johnson became the first female gymnast ever to win the prestigious Sullivan Award. She even managed to beat out her Olympics teammate, and All-Around gold medalist, Nastia Lukin on Wednesday night to grab the award, given to America’s best amateur sportsperson.

“Being up there with all the other athletes and just hearing all the titles they kept listing off, I was like, `There’s no way.’ Then when they called my name,” Johnson said. “It’s the biggest honor there is. To be the first female gymnast, it’s just amazing. I’m so excited.”

Johnson won four medals at the 2008 Olympics: the gold on balance beam and silvers in the team, floor exercise and all-around, where she finished second to Liukin. Johnson is only the second U.S. gymnast to win an Olympic gold medal on balance beam, joining Shannon Miller (1996). [Source]

Now if she can just snag that DWTS win, she’ll have pretty much accomplished everything she needs to accomplish in life.

Amy Winehouse purging herself of impurities in St. Lucia

Boy, I’d really like to be living Amy Winehouse’s life right now. I mean, cut out the recovering-from-drug-addiction stuff and she’s pretty much taking the best vacation ever. Beach bumming, horse-back riding, hanging with her beefy body guard and now specialty facials. I don’t understand why anyone would say “no, no, no” to this rehab.

Amy Winehouse has been enjoying traditional mud massages in the Caribbean.

The singer was seen splashing around in the Rasul massage chamber in Cotton Bay Village, St Lucia.

It’s thought the treatment involves smearing mud all over the face and body to exfoliate the skin, draw out impurities and restore nutrients. [Source]

She’s definitely got plenty of impurities to draw out so here’s hoping she gets a few of these.

Reese Witherspoon’s new fitness craze is softball

Bit of an odd choice for a celeb of her stature, don’t you think? Reese Witherspoon was all hopped up on Yoga Hop a minute ago and now she’s trying her hand at slow pitch. Doesn’t look like she’s going to get much cardio by playing catcher but hey, she looks like she’s having fun so it’s all good.
