Our own Liz Neporent says calcium can help us build bones and lose weight and thinks that maybe it's not such a good idea for women to ditch dairy from their diets. FitSugar tells us that Jenny McCarthy did it, though.

Jenny says her dairy-free (and gluten-free) diet keeps her trim. The hot momma appears on the May cover of Shape magazine looking, well, in pretty good shape, so she must be doing something right. We do hope she's finding other ways of nourishing her body with calcium. Liz says the recommended daily intake for women is 1200-1500 mg daily and suggests sources like Chinese cabbage, kale, broccoli and calcium-fortified foods including fruit juices, fruit drinks, tofu and cereals.

Finding it hard to keep track of which celebrity is doing what workout? Each week, we wrap up our celebrity posts so you can review it all.

This week's round-up looks like the blonde bombshell edition -- click on your favorite star's picture to read the scoop on her diet and fitness secrets!

Wynonna Judd is singing the weight loss blues ... or rather the reds, blues, golds and greens of the alli© logo. She's signed on as spokesperson for the weight loss drug.

Judd is part of a long-list of celebs who have lent their names and faces to weight loss products. Jenny McCarthy once touted Weight Watchers, and Phylicia Rashad is the latest celeb speaking for Jenny Craig. Regarding alli, Judd said "I've considered every diet under the sun, but so many of them wanted me to be something I'm not and do things I knew were not healthy for me. Then I discovered alli. With the alli program, I'm learning how to make and maintain healthier lifestyle choices. It keeps me honest with myself and allows me to set realistic goals."

That's great, Wynonna. But I've got one question. Why do you need alli to do all that? You can make healthier choices and set realistic goals without a pill.

Jenny McCarthy and her long-time boyfriend, Jim Carrey, were caught by the papparazzi while vacationing in Hawaii. Usually, I feel bad when celebrities are hounded while on vacation, but Jenny McCarthy should be very proud of these photos. She looks amazing.

Back in her early days on MTV, McCarthy came across as sexy and silly ... and sometimes crazed. But, in more recent years, McCarthy has shown that she's also dedicated, intelligent and a strong advocate for her son. Her dedication obviously spills over into maintaining her beach-perfect body as well. She lost weight post-pregnancy with the help of Weight Watchers; since then, she has continued eating healthfully and exercising in her home gym.
