It's hard to imagine Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger feeling awkward or self-conscious about her body. But behind many sexy, voluptuous women, there's a shy youth with low self-esteem -- and that certainly rings true in Scherzinger's case. She was recently quoted saying, "We always say that inside every woman there is a Pussycat Doll, but I don't always know that about myself. I always grew up feeling awkward because I came from a town where not everybody looked like me."

What helped her feel good about herself? The very thing that catapulted her to fame: Performing. "I found myself in something that I was passionate about, which was singing, and dancing. I focused on that. I put my heart, and soul into it," she said.

Addressing the other awkward-feeling girls of the world, she adds, "You are beautiful. Just find it from within, and so you can then shine your beauty on to other people."

Have your tried Wu Long Tea yet? Not me. But Fit Tip Daily says Oprah has, and Rachael Ray and fitness guru Bill Phillips have too. Apparently, it's a new miracle weight loss discovery, better than green tea and with a resume that includes these bullet points:

• Increases energy
• Decreases appetite
• Lowers blood pressure
• Relieves fatigue
• Cuts effects of carbs
• Helps with digestion
• Revitalizes skin
• Improves immunity
• Melts away fat

Hey, who needs anything else when a tea like this exists? Think this stuff could be too good to be true? I think so. But who am I? Oprah, now, she's someone. She likes her Wu Long Tea with some mulled spices (cinnamon, allspice, and cloves) and lemon and orange slices, and she drinks it every evening to avoid snacking after her strict 7:30 PM eating cut-off time. Maybe it works. But maybe it's just an aid to help folks like Oprah cut back on eating, which is the real cause of weight loss.

What do you think? Is this tea a true weight loss option a wacky diet dream?

Finding it difficult to motivate yourself to get to the gym for a workout? Actress Camryn Maheim has no trouble, and it's all down to her gym, or rather, the other clientele that attends it. "There's hot guys, they're really nice to me, they flirt with me, so I'm going! If that did not happen, you could not get me in that place!" the single mom recently told People magazine.

Hey, whatever works. I just have two questions: What is the name of her gym, and where can I sign up?

Manheim works out with a trainer three times a week for a half hour each session. Her workout of preference? The elliptical machine, beyond socializing with the cute boys, of course.
