Mariah Carey Works it in Paris
Mar 31st
Mariah Carey’s looking great! Mariah Carey has a healthy attitude about her weight, saying, “I don’t feel like you have to be a size zero. We should all just embrace who we are physically. I’m not supposed to be a stick figure girl. It’s just not me.”
Still, she works hard to maintain her body by sticking to what she calls a “bleak diet” – Mariah’s bleak diet consists of a lot of fish and soups. After realizing that her clothes didn’t fit right because she’d gained weight, Mariah lost 30 pounds with the bleak diet and she also works out – alot. Mariah Carey has a personal trainer who is based in St. Bart’s, and Mariah flies the trainer to New York to work with her. Diva! She does 90 minute to two-hour sessions three or four times a week.
Mariah Carey is 5′ 9″ and weighs about 135 pounds. She doesn’t have a scale.
Here’s a sample of Mariah’s diet (Patricia is the St. Bart’s trainer):
Mariah Carey’s Diet Plan
Patricia described Mariah’s daily menu:
BREAKFAST: “A two-egg omelet with fruit and maybe a piece of bread if her weight is good. Now she know how to balance her food intake with her activity level. She knows if she is having a very physically active day, she can have a bit more.”
LUNCH: Protein, such as fish, chicken or steak. “She really loves steak. Protein is good for the muscles, and you don’t feel hunger afterward,” explains Patricia.
DINNER: Protein and vegetables, such as swordfish and spinach. “Nothing fried, but a little oil or butter is alright.”
SNACKS: “Snacking is Mariah’s big challenge. The last time I was with her about two weeks ago, I tried to have her snack on apple sauce or raw vegetables – something light.”

Kate Moss Sprite and a cigarette at the beach
Mar 31st
This photo isn’t new, but I’ve had it for a while and wanted to share Kate Moss in a bikini. Love the soda and cigarette, Kate. For someone who I’m guessing doesn’t take real good care of herself, she looks great.

I hope you don’t mind that Jake Gyllenhaal is in the photo 
Since I posted about Reese Witherspoon and her beloved Crock Pot the other day I’ve been trying to find some Reese Witherspoon diet info for you. I mean, she always looks great – she seems fit and healthy, but you don’t hear about her being on any crazy diet or working out constantly.
So I got a few tidbits on Reese.
Reese’s diet:
- Reese eats 5 small meals per day.
- She eats a high-fiber muffin at breakfast, chicken salad for lunch and salmon and vegetables for dinner.

Mischa Barton’s Weight Gain
Mar 29th
Mischa Barton’s gained some weight! Is it just me or is she only gaining weight in her legs? It’s like her top half and her bottom half are mismatched. She’s still a beautiful girl and I’d rather see weight gain than scary skinny. What do you think?
Hot race Car Driver Danica Patrick Bikini Photo
Mar 29th
Danica Patrick bikini photos – I think she looks good, but honestly I think she’s sexier when she’s suited up for racing. Danica Patrick is 5’2″ and weighs 100 pounds in case you were wondering. Nice to see a petite gal like Danica finding success in a macho sport like racing; however, she does seem to be more successful at being an advertising & media darling than actually winning races. But we’ll see. I’m sure she’s also judged more harshly than the guys.
Reese Witherspoon is a sweet southern belle
