If you live in North America, you may not have heard of Kerry Katona. In short, she's sort of the Britney Spears of Europe -- a pretty, young, troubled mother whose unfortunate choices and mental issues are plastered all over the tabloids for the public to snicker at and judge at will. Like Britney, Katona recently lost a fair amount of weight but unlike Britney (as far as we know, anyway ... ), she did it with surgery. Fair enough -- the girl has given birth to four children, so things are probably less, uh, firm than they used to be.

But recently, Katona raised some eyebrows when she was caught having junk food delivered to her house. Seriously? I don't have a problem with weight loss surgery except when it's simply a quick fix and the person has no intention of following by adopting healthy habits afterwards. Sounds like she's going to gain it back in no time -- what do you think?

Blake has said before that her first true love is food, so dropping pounds wasn't a simple task. However, she slimmed down her already trim figure by making "chicken breasts from Whole Foods on a George Foreman Grill, with asparagus and broccoli." At the same time, she was working to tone up, and told W magazine, "It was the healthiest I've ever been."

The W interview was conducted over lunch, after which Blake was going home to bake, so it sounds like once the movie wrapped, so did her super strict diet. She looks fantastic, though, and I'm happy to see she'd rather look slim and healthy than super-skinny. Smart girl!

Fergie, the rocking popstar who's known as much for her smokin' body as her successful singing career, is pursuing a new career ambition: Acting. And you know what actors tend to do -- they slim down or bulk up for various roles. It's the latter for Fergie -- the gorgeous singer is in the process of gaining weight for the upcoming movie musical Nine.

According to Fergie, "I've actually gained 10 lbs! No, really - for the film, 'Nine'. Actually, 13 to be exact. I ate everything! Fish and chips. Everything fried - things I don't normally eat." But she's also looking forward to losing the weight in time for her wedding to Josh Duhamel, adding, "I have to give the bad food up now! So, yeah - I'm in that phase! Back to diet designs - my food delivery service!"

Gaining weight is always the easy part, huh? Good luck to her on the weight loss, though I don't think she needs it.

A couple that stays together ... watches fights together? Taking in violent matches with your spouse might not seem like the key to a long and happy marriage, but it works for Brooke Shields and hubby Chris Henchy. The lovely Shields recently revealed what the two do for fun -- they watch boxing matches.Better watching a fight together than participating in one.

What does Brooke do to stay fit? Shields reveals, "I spin and I do yoga and that's it... I can carry my kids and I can dance and my legs get me through Broadway shows. And to me, when they function for me and not just look a certain way, then I feel lucky."

Hmm ... she stays fit without letting it control her life. She sounds like my kind of fitness role model. Your thoughts?
