Gywneth Gives Us More Goop

Gwyneth Paltrow said to drink beet juice so I did.

On January 1, 2009 GP sent out her latest GOOP newsletter and it was full of detox advice she's gleaned from her personal detox diet specialist for the New Year. What's that? You have a personal detox diet specialist too? (I mean, really, who doesn't in these cash-strapped post-holiday times. For reals...)

Anyway, back on planet earth, drinking a beet, carrot, apple and ginger juice isn't so bad (plus it's good for your heart and blood-pressure), and as Gywn points out, while you're cleaning out your body, "make sure you eat whole organic foods, which have the best chance of having all the nutrients needed for liver and general detoxification. "

Organic food, kids, it's the way to go.

Here's the scoop, straight from the lady herself:

It is that time of year, folks. I need to lose a few pounds of holiday excess. Anyone else? I like to do fasts and detoxes a couple of times during the year, the most hardcore one being the Master Cleanse I did last spring. It was not what you would characterize as pretty. Or easy. It did work, however. As I do not wish to subsist on lemon water in the middle of winter, I asked my doctor, a detox diet specialist, for the guidelines he uses to achieve a good detox that is not as hallucinogenic (in a bad way) as the Master Cleanse. He actually thinks that the Master Cleanse can be dangerous because the liver is not supported by the nutrients it needs. What it came down to was this: you can detox easily and effectively while you continue to eat as long as you are cutting out the foods and other substances that interfere with the detoxification process. Make sure you check with your doctor before you start any detox. Drink A LOT of water. I created this menu plan for a seven-day elimination diet. The shakes and juices are meant to be liquid meals that help decrease the amount of work your digestive system has to do. I will be suffering along with you to kickstart my year a bit lighter. Good luck to us all!

And just a thought, but you and your size 2 self, Gywenth, could probably take "losing a few pounds" off your To-Do list...

Britney Spears Diet Secrets

How does this chart-topping superstar stay in such super shape? Do you believe Britney takes slimming pills? That's the talk on the Internet after photos of Britney appear to show her grabbing a blue bottle at London’s Heathrow Airport.

A British tabloid reportedly says it's a bottle of a popular diet pill. Now, some sites are even selling the "fat burner" by claiming that "pop princess Britney Spears maintains her sexy shape with this product." Yet another claims Britney was "outed" as user of the appetite suppressant.

Britney is reportedly furious over the diet pill story. Her lawyer said she does not endorse the diet product and "any company using a photo of her inappropriately" will be contacted and told to "remove the photo."

The latest news is that Britney has made peace with the makers of a diet aid pill, following a long-running dispute. While the terms of the settlement remain confidential, a representative for the diet aid confirms that the matter has been resolved.

Britney had a notorious junk food craving and her daily diet consisted of primarily empty calories. The pop star has been seen consuming Red Bull energy drinks, Starbucks Frappuccinos and Marlboro Lights. On a few occasions, she’s been seen eating one of her favorite snacks, Cheetos. Pictures reportedly featured the singer looking bloated and chunky, until they were digitally slimmed down to resemble her trademark svelte body.

Britney's personal trainer Bobby Strom has exposed several sources behind her fluctuating weight, including her mom Lynne's home cooking. He says, "Her mind has not been in the right place for working out. She's had lots of stuff to get sorted in her head and her personal life lately. But I think that she's over it and back on course, mentally and physically. I'm sure I'll be seeing her again soon."

"She's fond of her mom's food but it tends to be carb heavy and calorific. I've told her to cut out barbeque sauces and gravies, and eat more protein - especially on tour. She also needs complex carbs such as brown rice, veggies and wholegrain breads."

A source reports that Brtiney was devastated by her appearance in the photos, and complained to her promoters, "I look like a blimp, so do something about it. I need to look perfect - better than perfect."

The Celebrity Fashion Phenomenon

By Priyanka Arora

Celebrities have always fascinated us - with their inhumanly good looks, their juicy life stories, their lavish houses, their to-die-for cars...
But most of all, we love their clothes. Maybe because it's the part of them we feel we can actually reach for. I mean, most of us can't buy mansions in Beverly Hills or a new sports car every month, but we can buy clothes, right?
In fact, we have grown to love celebrity clothes so much that sometimes, celebrities become better known for their clothes than for anything else. Every fashion designer dreams of being worn by a star on award nights, despite the fact that in 24 hours or less, cheap copies of their precious creations will be peddled all over the place.
And we buy them up - yes, we do - because we believe that if we wear the clothes our idols wear, we will look as good as our idols look.
But there are a few downsides to dressing like a celebrity: First of all, while you may be able to get away with any clothing style in your teenage years, your celebrity clothes might not suit you quite as well as you move on to your 20s, 30s, etc., etc.
Second, your favorite celebrity is probably also the favorite celebrity of about three million other people in the world, and you all may well end up looking like semi-clones.
Finally, celebrity clothing costs a lot.
In other words, when you decide to emulate celebrity fashion, do so with caution. Stay aware of what fits your own body shape and lifestyle. Remember: what looks good on a celebrity is one thing. What looks good on you may be quite something else.
