I never thought the day would come when the plus sized girl would actually win it all. Whitney Thompson catwalked her way to becoming America’s Next Top Model’s first full-figured winner on Wednesday’s episode. I'm wondering if they did it solely based on talent or if there's some truth to the rumor that they had her win for publicity. Either way, I think it sends a great message to young girls; a good personality, a healthy body image, and self-confidence is far more important that fitting into a size 0. In fact the past few days I've heard the phrase "SKINNY IS OUT" several times. Do you think this is true?

Apparently Mariah Carey's weight loss is such a huge ordeal this week, even my Mother  brought her up on the phone today;"Can you believe that Mariah Carey's a size 2 now?". I knew if my Mom was inspired by Mariah's weight loss that my readers would be as well. The pop diva revealed her diet and fitness secrets on Monday's episode of Oprah.

During the writers strike Eva Longoria claimed to have gained a few pounds. Back in a January interview she said "I've been cooking and eating, cooking and eating. I keep telling everyone that I've gained 10 pounds just being on strike."

Now that the writers strike is over and the Desperate Housewives are back, so are Eva's healthy diet and fitness habits. 

"I'm working out, I'm eating my healthy food I get prepared," she said with a sigh. "It is so much easier being in shape when you're on the show because you have a chef and the gym is right there, so you really have no excuse." She told PEOPLE on Saturday.

Last week I posted about Kate Hudson dancing to stay in shape and she confirms this in a recent interview.

"I've danced my whole life," Hudson, 28, tells the U.K.'s Total Film magazine in its April issue. "I work out all the time and I'm not worried about being totally perfect."

Besides, she says of the movie (Fool's Gold), which costars Matthew McConaughey: "[My character is] a diver, so I'm not wearing this tiny string bikini; they're more the Speedo-type bikini – you know, the ones that cover pretty much everything."

Kate certainly has no reason to feel insecure in her bikini because she looks perfectly fit and toned.
