She shared her feelings about beauty and weight and the Hollywood ideal in a recent interview with Daily Mail.

"I always knew I was never the prettiest or ugliest girl in the room. Life's too short to inject botulism into your face to get rid of a tiny line because you've laughed too much. I don't feel a need to loose weight, because I'm not 21. I'm happy with my package," said the actress.

She added, "We're obsessed with how we're meant to look. I feel a responsibility to not do that because it's dangerous. People end up having exactly the same bodies."

However, she's currently facing a new challenge -- staying fit while injured.

The tennis star was unable to compete in the Beijing Olympics and will sit out the U.S. Open due to a shoulder injury, and while she's undergoing physical therapy, she's doing plenty of cross-training to ensure she's ready to hit the court as soon as she's able. She told Shape magazine, "I've been walking hills a lot and biking a little outdoors. I don't do heavy weights at all. I go to yoga classes and work on my core."

Sharapova also revealed that she doesn't rely on dieting to keep her 6'2" frame so svelte. The surprisingly low-key looker, whose biggest beauty basic is wearing sunscreen, simply tries to eat healthfully, and indulges in her favorite junk foods in moderation. Obviously, it's working for her! Check out the gallery to see her looking fabulous on and off the court!

She's not only content to be the winningest beach volleyball female of all time, or to have two beach volleyball gold medals -- she wants to be the best dancer, too!

I'm a little biased, since I'm a huge fan of Misty to begin with, but I have to say this is the most excited I've been for DWTS. While I enjoy seeing celebrities out there dancing, I like watching the athletes on the show even more. Seeing people with quick feet on the court or field translate that talent to dancing footwork is fascinating, and is a big reminder that athleticism comes in many forms.

Misty will be joined by fellow gold medal winner Maurice Greene, a sprinter, and retired football player Warren Sapp, along with Brooke Burke, Kim Kardashian, Susan Lucci, and others. Will you be tuning in?

It might be because it's hard, or it hurts, or even because it seems boring, but you know what? With a little work, everyone can find a workout that works for them.

Mischa Barton (of the now-defunct O.C., and has she done anything else lately?) was never big on fitness. In fact, she finds working out "dorky." But, she's finally found a way to make fitness fun -- using the Pilates reformer, which is a machine that develops core strength and flexibility.

While the Pilates reformer might not sound like more fun than a barrel of monkeys to you, I'm sure there's something else out there you'll enjoy. The key is to be open to giving it a try. Check out classes at your gym or local YMCA, or rent some workout videos -- you never know what's going to hit the spot!

There's Yvonne Strahovski, who plays spy Sarah Walker on Chuck, and we had Angelina Jolie carrying Wanted. And, you might not have seen her yet, but Gabrielle Anwar is just as tough.

She plays the trigger happy ex-girlfriend to the lead character on USA's Burn Notice, and while I wouldn't go so far as to call her character a role model -- she's a little too good at making bombs for that -- she holds her own physically, especially considering she's quite petite. To get ready for her action-packed role, Gabriella adjusted her diet.

She said she cut out "foods with ingredients that I need a dictionary to define. I find that the less animal products I consume the better my general health; the less refined sugars, the less I feel the energy fall out; and the more organic fresh produce I eat, the lighter I feel."

However, in an interview with Pregnancy, Laila spills about her stresses, and I think many of us can easily relate.

"I always thought I was going to gain a lot of weight because I'm a big girl naturally," said Laila, who, at 5'11' normally weighs in at around 175. "I thought, 'Oh God, I'm going to be like 250 lbs. and huge.' I know a lot of women have that fear. But, because I'm already a big girl, I was just imagining myself to be giant."

Her concern doesn't really stem from vanity -- she's mainly worried about having a big baby. She has a big sweet tooth, and she's working hard to control it, especially now that she's in her third trimester. She continues to hit the gym four days a week for cardio on the elliptical and light upper body weights, and it sounds like she's appreciating her body through her pregnancy. I bet she'll follow a sensible plan after the baby to get back to her fighting weight!

The actress chooses spinning to keep her in fabulous shape between shoots.

Coleman said, "It's exhilarating, it usually has really awesome music, and it kicks your butt. You know that you're really working hard when you do it!"

She's not alone in her devotion to the stationary bike -- spinning is a big favorite in Hollywood because you can burn mega calories in a relatively short period of time. Plus, it's something you can easily modify to your own fitness level while taking a class, making it a great choice for folks of all fitness levels. Check out the gallery to see which other celebs are spinning!

And hey, if we all had a body like that, we might want to live in a bikini, too.

But in all seriousness, the diva has worked hard to get her body toned, and keeps it that way by swimming in her pool at home every day. She's currently on vacation, but she's not just lounging around -- she's taken her exercise routine to the Mediterranean Sea. And, we assume, eating artichokes.

Mariah prefers wet workouts, saying, "What's great about working out in the pool is that the water acts as resistance, so you're actually exercising twice as hard without feeling it." Plus, even if splashing around in the Mediterranean is burning calories, nobody's going to deny it's also fun, right?

Janet Jackson is finding this especially true -- her world tour begins in less than a month, and she has reportedly packed on some pounds this summer thanks to Jermaine Dupri's habit of filling her fridge with pizza, fried chicken, chocolate, and ice cream.

Janet's weight has always fluctuated -- back in 2006 she gained quite a bit of weight, but was able to lose it all in just four months. Earlier this year, Janet was looking fit and fabulous, and apparently she's hoping very much to get back to that point before her tour begins.

The singer might yo-yo diet, but it sounds like she's trying to drop the pounds healthily. She is now working with a nutritionist and chef and sticking to a 1700 calorie per day diet. I assume she's working out, too -- you know she has a great song for her playlist!

At 39 years old, Mary showed that she not only still had the moves, but the lady's got a body! And, apparently, that body is courtesy of doing the Core Rhythms program (a dance workout incorporating lots of Latin movements) every day. Mary lost 30 pounds in three months, dropping from a size 14 to a size 8.

She's also following a healthful diet, eating lots of veggies, chicken, and Egg Beaters. She's thrilled with her new body, and with the fact that she can wear short dresses again.

And Raven-Symone is the first to admit that. In fact, the actress even goes so far as to say, "I do have anger issues," but she doesn't like to yell at anybody, so she's found another way to get out her frustrations -- boxing.

When she's angry at someone, Raven-Symone said, "I picture that person's face that I want to yell at and I hit it repeatedly [with my] mitt."

I've actually done the same thing on a number of occasions -- beating the hell out of a heavy bag somehow makes me feel better. However, running is a great stress reliever as well. What form of exercise helps you clear your head, or puts you in a good mood?

However, there's more to it than just that.

In order to stay in top shape, Kate cross-trains. And it's nothing fancy -- she goes for a jog, plays tennis, and does a lot of the same basic exercises you and I can step outside and do ourselves.

I'm sure she has other, more specific workouts in the gym when she's getting ready to film, but personally, I take heart in knowing that she does a lot of regular workouts. Not everyone has to have a fancy routine to look amazing, right?

Nick Jonas, one of the three Jonas Brothers, was diagnosed with diabetes two years ago, at the age of 13, and he remembers thinking, "Why me?" Diabetes was a disease he'd heard of, but he didn't know anybody who had the disease, which it even scarier. However, he didn't stay scared for long.

"There was no familiar face in music or sports that I could connect with ... [but] I started to see it as an opportunity to be an inspiration to a generation that doesn't openly talk about having diabetes and not feeling embarrassed by the disease," said Nick.

He's also quick to point out that, while diabetes is manageable, there's nothing wrong with asking for help. There are some days where he can handle it all on his own, but there are other days he asks his brothers to help him with his needle, and said, "It's OK to rely on other people and just be positive and keep going."

She's been in a couple of things since, then, but most recently she's filmed Dragonball, a role for which she really had to step up her fitness routine.

The actress incorporated a lot of strength training and kickboxing into her workout to get ready for the action film, saying it was "hardcore, but it was a lot of fun." She didn't notice a change in her weight, but she was aware of a change in the tightness of her body, and said, "I got really buff and strong while training."

Though she might have gotten "buff," she's continued to have a very feminine shape, which is just one more piece of evidence that working out is sexy!

However, that's not always possible, especially for the super-busy Heidi Klum. Still, she makes sure she gets her vitamins. Or, rather, her trainer makes sure she does.

Klum works out with David Kirsch, who also trains celebs like Naomi Campbell and Anne Hathaway, and he ships her cases of his Super Juice packets, which, when added to water, add just 30 calories but provide your daily vitamins. He also provides his clients with Thermo Bubbles, which is supposed to boost energy and metabolism.

How about you? Do you rely on supplements to get what your body needs, or do you get it all through your food?

There's no disputing that she looks amazing, but it didn't come without work, and she's sharing some of her secrets.

The actress says she respects her body more, and treats it like a temple. That probably made her diet and exercise changes a bit easier. Leading up to the shoot, Eva incorporated more cardio and said, "You want to stay away from bread, carbonation ... and you don't want to eat Chinese food, as delicious as it is. That's like, serious bloating!"

On the show she's generally wearing office attire. Well, the kind of office attire one would wear for a job at a fashion magazine. On the red carpet, however, she tends to go with strapless, slinky, sexy dresses, and she knows just how to get ready to bare her arms.

Newton's trainer, Elise Gulan, says the actress uses tricep push-ups to get her arms toned and ready for strapless gowns. Before a big event, Newton will do 15 to 20 reps up to four times a week, which is something I think we could all work into our fitness routines.

Gulan explains that this exercise makes a big difference quickly because, "Triceps are the biggest muscle group in the arms, so it's going to build really quickly."

However, getting to that point came with a hefty price tag. Britney has reportedly spent $22,000 a month to get back in shape!

So what does this $22,000 go toward each month? Britney is paying a nutritionist, buying diet supplements, and has a personal trainer and private dance choreographer on call. One thing she's not spending her cash on: Red Bull. She has switched it out for a much more healthful option, and now drinks lots of water.

Additionally, she's sticking to a 1400 calorie per day diet, though she allows herself one "cheat day," and snacks on edamame beans. Her meals are made of fresh foods, and she's only eating two-thirds of what's on her plate. It sounds like she's got a very healthy system in place, and while most of us couldn't afford her "people," all of us can load up on fresh foods and eat in moderation. It's great to see her doing so well!

Well, okay, so there's always a lot of press about Anna's body, but this time, it was about the distinct lack of curves -- she looked leaner than we were used to seeing her, though I maintain that she still looked healthy and athletic.

Now, her body is once again (still?) making headlines, this time because she seems to have regained the curves that made her so famous. Come on, you know she didn't become this well-known through tennis alone!

She's spoken to the media several times regarding weight loss, and has always insisted that it fluctuates with her training. And, the thing is, a lot of the difference in her physique seems to have something to do with the bra she's wearing -- a sports bra can keep lots of women from looking their curviest.

Her husband, Marc Anthony, fully supports her efforts and plans to root her on from the sidelines on his Segway.

To be honest, I was a little surprised to read this. Yes, JLo has been known for her shapely but fit body, but she's a dancer -- I guess I had assumed that she'd use dance and maybe a personal trainer to lose the baby weight.

However, we all know that setting fitness goals is a great way to motivate oneself to train, and completing a triathlon is certainly an admirable goal. I wish her all the luck in the world ... unless I end up in the same race in her division, of course.
