Blake Lively “sabotaged” Ryan Reynolds’ workout regime with baked goods.

The pair star together in the superhero movie ‘The Green Lantern.’ While Reynolds battled to get in shape for his costume, Lively made him calorific treats so she would look better than him on screen.

“It was just a way to sabotage Ryan. He was working out as much as he was, and I’m the girl. I’m supposed to look better,” Lively said.

However Reynolds, who admitted baked goods are his weakness, was happy to scoff Lively’s food.

“[For] most actors, it’s coke and guns. For me, it’s baked goods,” Lively said.

Lively, who cites Martha Stewart and British chef Nigella Lawson as her “idols,” had previously spoken of her baking obsession and said she would love to own her own bakery one day.

She explained: “Martha Stewart’s my idol. I like Nigella Lawson too. And of course, Paula Deen – butter, butter, butter! The only time I really go on the internet is for recipes.

“I want to have a brunch place, a bakery, and a Southern restaurant – because my family’s from Georgia – and then I want a place that is all-over-the-world cuisine.

“I take a cooking class everywhere I travel. I find it’s the best way to get to know a culture.”

Holiday Workout Video and Top 10 Tips To Prevent Weight Gain

1. Limit your intake of calorie laden beverages. Eggnog, champagne, mochas, and hot chocolate all have one thing in common: they are packed with empty calories – avoid these beverages and load up on water instead.

2. Officially schedule exercise into your calendar. It’s just too easy to let workouts slide this time of year – make a commitment to exercise and keep it.

3. Forgo the goodie-making. By keeping your home free from holiday treats you will undoubtedly gain fewer pounds. However, if you simply have to make those Christmas cookies then chew gum during the baking process to prevent snacking.

4. Have fun being active. Winter is a great time to burn calories outdoors. Go skiing for a day or take the kids sledding. No snow in sight? No problem. Take a brisk bike ride or power walk through the mall.

5. Use healthy ingredients. Your holiday meal will taste even better when you seek out fresh, organic and low fat ingredients – and you’ll feel better too.

6. Learn to compromise. Dying to have that peppermint mocha? Go ahead – but have it with nonfat milk and pass on the whipped cream.

7. Don’t go hungry. The holidays are a dangerous time for your metabolism. Focus on eating small, balanced meals every few hours to keep your metabolism going strong.

8. Enjoy a sample. No one says you have to completely avoid the appetizers and desserts at your holiday party – just enjoy in moderation.

9. Focus on family, not food. Let’s face it, this time of year is big on two things: family and food. Make an effort to place your focus primarily on your family.

10. Stick to your strategy. The best way to gain weight over the holidays is to approach them without a plan. Using the above tips, write down the ways in which you plan to avoid weight gain this year. Then periodically check up on yourself.

So there you have it…make this that “special” time of year when you exercise both your body and your self-control. You can do it!

Christina Milian bikini

Christina Milian Workout Strip-a-robics

DOB: September 26, 1981
Christine Flores , better known by her stage name Christina Milian, is an American R&B and pop singer-songwriter, record producer, dancer, actress, and model. Born in Jersey City, New Jersey, Milian moved to Los Angeles when she was 13 years old, desiring to be an actress. By the age of 17, Milian had begun writing songs to help obtain a recording contract. Milian has released three studio albums, and has finished recording a fourth, Elope, which is scheduled for a late 2009 or early 2010 release.

Christina Milian has a sexy way of staying in shape – ‘Strip-a-robics’.

The ‘Dip It Low’ singer has revealed she honed her stunning figure by attending raunchy aerobics classes, which involved pole-dancing and seductive moves.

She confessed: “Last year, me and four friends went to ‘Strip-a-robics’. It was so much fun! It was an hour and a half so you got a real workout but at the same time, it was very sexual – it was so hot.”

But when Christina tried to recreate the steamy moves in the privacy of her own home, she found it difficult without her own lap-dancing pole.

She admitted: “I tried to do it at home but it didn’t work – I need to put a pole in my bedroom, I think!”

Christina has also revealed she would strip off on screen – but not for another ten years.

Milian works out six days a week. Her workout includes 30 minutes of running on the treadmill, then she will do situps, lunges and squats.

The teeny 5ft 2 star admits she has a weakness for junk food. When asked what her biggest vice is, Christina replied “Cheetos, Oreos, everything terrible!” Christina had to start watching what she eats after suffering an allergic reaction to radishes. “I had hives everywhere for a month! I thought, I can’t control this, but I can control the way I look and be fit.”

Christina Milian knows a bit about dieting, when she was 16 she was quite chubby and lost a total of 25 pounds.“My friend Jessica Biel taught me about healthy eating. We would have beans and apples as a snack.”

Girls Aloud’s diet secrets

Nadine, Cheryl, Kimberley, Sarah and Nicola reveal all!

Girls Aloud are a girl group that were created on the ITV1 talent show Popstars: The Rivals in 2002. The group, consisting of Cheryl Cole, Nadine Coyle, Sarah Harding, Nicola Roberts, and Kimberley Walsh, have been successful in achieving a string of 20 consecutive UK Top 10 singles (including four number ones), two UK number one albums, and having been nominated for four BRIT Awards, winning Best Single in 2009 for “The Promise”.

Girls Aloud hold the record for the shortest time between formation and reaching number one in the UK Charts (with their platinum-selling début single “Sound of the Underground”), and have since become one of the few UK reality television acts to achieve continued success, amassing a fortune of £25 million by May 2009. Guinness World Records lists them as “Most Successful Reality TV Group” in the 2007 edition. They also hold the record for “Most Consecutive Top Ten Entries in the UK by a Female Group” in the 2008 edition, with 15 consecutive top tens from “Sound of the Underground” in 2002 through to “Walk This Way” in 2007.

Heather Graham strip club and the Hangover

Heather Joan Graham

Heather Graham Gallery

DOB: January 29, 1970 is an American actress and fashion model.

Heather Graham says her visit to a strip club was very unimpressive, because the girls couldn’t dance.

Heather Graham was “disappointed” when she went to a strip club.

The actress learned to pole dance in preparation for her role as a stripper in ‘The Hangover’ and was astonished after seeing the less than impressive antics of her real-life counterparts.

She said: “I went to a strip club to prepare for the role but it was a big disappointment. I’d taken these classes on how to dance but if you go to a strip club, no-one’s dancing. Everyone just stands there. The girls are all just on stage and it’s all about lap dances.”

Heather is not the only celebrity who has learned to pole dance.

Supermodel Kate Moss showed off her skills in the White Stripes’ music video for ‘I Don’t Know What To Do With Myself’, while Britney Spears recently insisted a pole be installed in her hotel room.

The ‘Toxic’ singer – who is a huge fan of pole dancing as it helps maintain her new slender figure – made the unusual request to staff at London’s Dorchester Hotel, where she will be staying when she performs at the city’s O2 arena in June as part of the UK leg of her ‘Circus’ tour.

“Never say diet” according to the latest Shape Mag. Hmmm… I am always amused by such statements and looking at what Heather Graham eats, I can say without hesitation she does diet, but doesn’t know it. While there may be some extraordinary individuals who can eat whatever they want without gaining weight, for 99.49% of the population this does not hold true. A self described foodie, Heather Graham loves healthy Mexican and Japanese dishes.

Here’s one of Heather’s favorite recipes:

Heather’s Favorite Broccoli Recipe
While making a film in Dublin, Ireland last year, Heather got addicted to this crunch dish from Avoca Caf.

Serves: 4
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 5-7 minutes
Nutrition Score per serving:
(2 cups): 285 calories, 22 g fat (69% of calories), 4 g sat fat, 17 g carbs, 10 g protein, 7 g fiber, 176 mg calcium, 3 mg iron, 370 mg sodium

Ingredients
¾ cup hazelnuts
6 cups broccoli florets (bite size)
1 ½ cups cherry tomatoes, halved
4 oz feta cheese
¼ cup reduced-fat French dressing
Freshly ground pepper (optional)

Directions
Preheat oven to 350°F. Spread hazelnuts on a shallow pan and bake for 5 to 7 minutes or until golden brown. Rub off the skins with a clean kitchen towel and allow to cool.In a large mixing bowl, add broccoli, cherry tomatoes, and cheese. Add nuts once they’ve cooled. Pour on the dressing and toss gently to combine.

Celeb Diet Doctor Weigh In…
Here’s the deal. As a healthy foodie, Heather can control what goes in her dishes and judging by her recipe she’s eating low cal. People often get in trouble when they eat out because there are a lot of added stealth calories. The more you can prepare your meals at home the better you’ll be at controlling your calorie intake.

Heather works out on a daily basis and it shows. She says “I’ve been practicing yoga five days a week for 11 years. About two years ago I realized my stomach was kind of mushy, so I started doing Pilates twice a week to strengthen my abs. Now it feels and looks much more toned.” She also uses Transcendental Meditation to help her de-stress.

Heather, who is 37 btw, has got the bod of a woman in her 20’s. Her recipe of yoga and Pilates, along with being a healthy foodie is obviously paying off.

Christian Bale workout and interview

DOB: January 30, 1974
Birth Location: Haverfordwest, South Wales

Christian Bale is a Welsh actor. In addition to starring roles in big budget Hollywood films, he has long been heavily involved in independent and art house films. He is currently staring in Terminator Salvation (2009) as John Connor and upcomming movies Public Enemies (2009) as Melvin Purvis .

Christian Bale

Christian Bale Interview

Hollywood.com: You’ve said that you’re not the biggest fan of the physical conditioning that you’ve had to put yourself through. How do you make peace with that and get the job done?

Christian Bale: You just accept it. You don’t rest unless you’re in the middle of actually doing it. So you just make it a part of your routine. You just force that on yourself, and there is really no other way of doing it. You just do it, that’s it. You’ve got to get on with it and convince yourself that you like it and enjoy it. It’s funny because it’s the power of the mind and you’ll start enjoying it after a while even though when it’s done you can just switch it off and go, “F*ck that. I didn’t enjoy it for a second.” During it you can actually find yourself saying, “Ah, I really want to do whatever it is.”

Hollywood.com: Is it tough when you get the Batman body or the soldier’s body and then you’re done with the film and you don’t want keep up that level of fitness regimen, but you like where your physique is and you know that you have to keep up the hard work to maintain it?

Christian Bale: No, it’s not tough. It’s very easy to lose it and I don’t mind it at all, but it’s also a part of what I think is an addiction of mine: I like extreme circumstances, and so for me boredom is the consistency. I like that I’ve got one month and I have to go insane with training to be ready on time. If it’s just my life, I probably wouldn’t even do it. I can’t stand the tedium of repetition. So it’s got to be that it’s something new and that I have to do it in a hardcore fashion by dealing with a deadline, because if you have no deadline in sight – for me it has to feel like you’re sprinting for the finish line and then I take it seriously.
