Kate Moss is into yoga and detox, and just a little booze

Kate Moss hasn't exactly been known for her healthy image -- she's better known for her partying, drug use, and waif-like physique. However, she's making an effort to get her body into better, healthier shape this spring with the help of her good gal pal, Sadie Frost.

Each spring, Sadie does a detox in which she cuts out dairy, pasta, potatoes, meat, and fish, and this year Kate has decided to join her, which has meant forgoing her favorite greasy, fried foods. They've been noshing on garlic and Sadie's mom's homemade tomato sauce to keep their hunger at bay.

Seems like they could hire a nutritionist and private chef to come up with something a little tastier and more healthful, but hey, at least they're getting some nutrients!

We love to gawk at fit celebs weekly roundup: Reality check

Hopefully we all know celebrities don't represent reality as the rest of us know it. The famous people we see have been made up, personal trained, coiffed, dressed, and soft-lit into the closest they can come to perfection, and of course they represent a very small and genetically blessed segment of the population. So sometimes it's necessary to do a little reality check, just to remind ourselves that what we see isn't what we are supposed to be.

Cheers to America Ferrara for giving us a vocabulary reality check. Right now the media is labeling her with what I call 'Kate Winslet Syndrome': when a svelte, normal-looking celeb is called "curvy" because she is shapelier than the stick figures in Hollywood. Pencils are "curvy" next to some of those ladies. America says, "I think it's hilarious when people call Jessica Alba or Eva Longoria curvy. Come on – they're not curvy. I'm curvy!" Props to her also for refusing to starve for her art. Don't shrink America!

As far as reality, supermodel Eva Herzigova has given us a mixed bag. Four months postpartum she's back to her pre-baby size, and says, "Nature has a way of taking care of things. If you have a certain figure you'll go back to it. Breast feed and don't worry about it." 'Kay, we like the very un-model-like lack of weight concern, but nature ain't so kind to everybody Eva.

While the Spice Girls reunion might be one of the first signs of the apocalypse, the press has certainly decided they haven't aged gracefully. Photos of Sporty and Posh with less-than-flawless complexions got media jeers, and Ginger's loose belly skin was also ridiculed. (Oooh, loose stomach skin. Big problem.) Now the SGs are being mocked for looking, um, ageless in their new video. So yeah, we know kind lighting and some digital magic probably made the transformation possible, but I have to say, is bad skin and some belly baggage so reprehensible? I think the scorn probably does more to encourage the 'perfection by any means' mentality than make it okay for famous people to have flaws. Sporty even said she almost refused the reunion for fear her old eating disorders would resurface. So let's stop bagging on the ladies for having imperfections and get back to trashing the crappy music.

And finally, here's a reality check on behalf of the men: While I like Matthew McConaughey's chest as much as the next person, I've seen enough shirtless beach photos of him. Really. People does a 'Guess the chest' quiz and I know the answer because I'd probably recognize MM's pecs faster than I'd peg a photo of the Grand Canyon. And of course, we see sandy, wind-blown MM all the time because that body isn't typical. Reality might bite, but there you have it.

Former model Iman comments on weight issues and lack of diversity in fashion industry

The modeling world has been hit with some hefty criticism as of late. Martha Edwards recently posted on comments made by Dame Helen Mirren, who believes that women in the fashion industry are to blame for the too-thin models skulking down catwalks, and I wrote a post on Australian Prime Minister John Howard's criticisms of a fashion show in that country that used a very young model as the face of the show.

Former model Iman is the latest high-profile figure to comment on the industry, saying that the obsession with and focus on weight and thin women is taking the focus away from each girl's individual identity, meaning there are no new 'supermodels' emerging. Iman is also unhappy about the lack of diversity in the fashion industry and isn't impressed that race is still an issue when it comes to models.

I think she makes some pretty valid comments, but what do you think?

Maybe you don't have the body of a supermodel. But you can fake it!

I firmly believe that how others perceive you -- and your body -- has a lot to do with your confidence. And so while you may not have the body of a supermodel (and let's face it, not many do), you can still feel like a supermodel by treating yourself like one. Here are some tips for primping like a model, from Fitness Magazine:
  • Cover imperfections by using a bronzer. And splurge on the bronzer, so you don't end up looking orange and splotchy
  • Create cleavage. Say hello to your old friend, the push-up bra.
  • Use cellulite creams. Whether or not they work on cellulite, they can help boost confidence.
  • Moisturize. I like Coconut Body Butter from the Body Shop. It gives skin a healthy shimmer. It also smells and feels great.
  • Exfoliate and take steps to prevent body blemishes (like the dreaded back zit)
Great posture is also a sign of confidence, so sand tall and flaunt those assets! What do you do to feel great about your body?
