After drawing a fair bit of negative attention over the few extra pounds she gained while out of the spotlight, Alanis Morisette recently appeared in OK magazine looking incredible. She's lost an amazing 20 pounds in a few months, thanks to Joel Fuhrman's Eat to Live plan, but following this diet meant she had to give up a few things -- namely all animal products. Yes, she went vegan.

While changing your life so drastically seems extreme (not to mention really, really hard), she insists it was worth it. "I used to get out of bed in the morning and things were aching, and I just thought, this is what happens when you get into your 30s," she says. "But now I jump out of bed and have so much energy. I feel very alive. I have no more aches and pains, and my allergies are gone, too."

Sounds pretty amazing, but could you go vegan?

The Jonas Brothers are one of the hottest acts around, with a huge amount of influence on teens and tweens, which is why the fact that they're actively talking about diabetes is such a big deal. Nick Jonas was diagnosed a couple of years ago, and instead of letting him get down about it, the brothers have used it as a platform to help others. That rocks!

Kate Hudson tends to look fabulous in whatever she wears -- haute couture, jeans and a tee, or a bikini. She doesn't just rely on genetics to keep her looking hot, though -- she incorporates all kinds of workouts into her fitness routine to stay in shape.

Everyone needs a way to get rid of their stress, and Raven-Symone is no different. The actress relies on boxing to keep her self-proclaimed "anger issues" at bay.

Alanis Morissette seems like the real deal to me. Just listen to one of her songs, and you'll realize the girl is brutally honest about her emotions, which makes me totally believe her when she claims she is enjoying watching her body age. Forget the Fountain of Youth. Morissette, 34, is embracing her body's transformation.

"I'm fascinated by aging and how a woman's body changes," the singer says. "I don't want to spend the next 50 years of my life trying to hide those changes. There's something very relaxing about watching it unfold instead of fighting it the whole way."

This isn't to say Morissette doesn't pay attention to health -- she's recently completed a triathlon and names cross-training, kickboxing, dance, basketball, and volleyball as her favorite fitness activities. She's just not consumed with the natural and inevitable evolution of her aging body. We should all follow her lead, don't you think?
