Some of us have trouble coughing up the dough for a gym membership or a session with a personal trainer, but that's not a problem for the rich and famous. Britney Spears reportedly spent an exorbitant amount to get her body back in shape. But, it seems to have worked ...

Ugly Betty's Becki Newton always looks flawless on the red carpet, favoring sleeveless gowns (doesn't everybody?). We've got her favorite trick for getting her arms red carpet-ready right here.

Eva Mendes was the star of a too-hot-for-TV ad for Calvin Klein's latest fragrance, Secret Obsession, and she shows a lot of skin. She made some changes to get her body ready to bare, and they're changes we could all make even if we don't have any plans to get naked.

Becki Newton, who plays the snarky receptionist, Amanda, on Ugly Betty, is always dressed to kill. 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."
