Celebrities always look fabulous. Whether appearing in television or films or strutting down the red carpet during movie premiers and awards, they never cease to fascinate us with their larger than life presence. The truth is, it takes a lot of effort to look the way they do, and being the public figures that they are, they cannot afford to slack off when it comes to taking care of their physical appearances. Their livelihood largely depends on how they look. Aside from the clothes, the hair and the makeup, celebrities have to take good care of their bodies.
So it is no surprise that these stars have their own secrets when it comes to staying fit and gorgeous. Their health agenda can range from extreme workouts to well-planned meals. Who doesn’t want to know their secrets in staying absolutely sexy? Here are some of the diet secrets of seven women celebrities.
1. Jennifer Aniston
The star of the phenomenal television show Friends not only mesmerized audiences with her adorable comic sense and her famous hairstyle, she was also known for having one of the sexiest bodies in Hollywood, as she appeared in countless magazine covers. To stay trim, Jennifer follows the 40:30:30 diet method. The diet consists of:
40% Low glycemic carbohydrates
-Foods such as beans, fruits and vegetables, legumes
30% lean proteins
-Tofu, fish, chicken, turkey, beef and low fat dairy products
30% essential fats
-nuts and seeds, fish and olive oils
It is essential that every meal should contain macronutrients to attain the balance of hormones and maximum weight loss.
2. Oprah Winfrey
As one of the most successful talk-show hosts in the world, there is no question that Oprah needs to maintain her physical appearance for her millions of audiences. Known as one of those celebrities who are constantly battling weight gain, she has recently toned up her figure and has never looked figure in age 50 by combining a regular exercise regime and diet plan. Oprah works out five days a week, spending 30 minutes on the threadmill and doing free weights. Her eating plan consists of legumes, fish, nuts, fruits and vegetables, chicken and dairy products that are lowfat. She limits her consumption of white sugar and flour. Oprah also credits her trim figure to her habit of not eating anything after seven in the evening.
3. Kate Hudson
The gorgeous daughter of actress Goldie Hawn gained 60 pounds during her pregnancy, which she needed to shed quickly before commencing on her next film. From her previous eating plan, she switched to a higher protein diet. She consumed high protein meals in smaller portions, and she combined this diet with an exercise program that includes weight training and cardiovascular workouts. After getting a lot of flak because of her post-pregnancy figure, Kate removed all that baby weight in only four months and has gained abdominal muscles that gained the envy of many in Hollywood.
4. Gwyneth Paltrow
A lot of people may find it hard to believe that the perpetually slim Academy award-winning actress actually needs to diet. Gwyneth actually follows a healthy eating plan that resembles Oprah’s, avoiding sugar and white flour. She usually follows a macrobiotic diet, eating foods like vegetables, brown rice, and lean meat. She also eliminated dairy from her diet, and does yoga everyday.
5. Madonna
The pop star known as the Material Girl has always flaunted a body that is to die for, and has become a true fitness paragon over the years. She keeps herself in tip-top shape by having Ashtanga Yoga, and follows a strict diet that mostly shuns junk foods. She adopted a macrobiotic eating plan that includes organic foods rich in lean protein.
6. Claudia Schiffer
The bodacious German supermodel eats salad and steamed vegetables for dinner and eats only fruits before the afternoon. While on locations, she prefers to eat black grapes and drinks tomato juice and herbal tea.
7. Christie Brinkley
Long-time supermodel maintains her all-American good looks by being a vegetarian. She does not keep junk foods of any kind inside her home to make sure that she does not eat them when cravings occur. She snacks on sweet potatoes in place of candy bars, and she adopts a liquid juice diet when she needs to slim down fast.
Celebrities are just like ordinary people. They need to maintain their figures just like anyone else, and there is more pressure on their part since they are constantly in the public eye. Ordinary folks can have celebrity-like bodies, too, and by following these diet and fitness plans, they can also look like red-carpet worthy.

Everyone dreams of winning the lottery and living a happy and comfortable life with no worries or financial stresses.
And with millions of pounds in the bank, you would think that many people would be able to spend wisely, live comfortably and live life to the full. Well sort of!
Over the years, many lottery winners have splashed their cash on all sorts of weird and wonderful things which has led them to a hole in their pocket, debts up to their ears and no money to even put a meal on the table.
Well Remortgage.com has scoured the World Wide Web to find the biggest lottery loser and how they went from rags to riches with millions of pounds to spend.
William ‘Bud’ Post
William ‘Bud’ Post won $16.2 million on the lottery in 1988 but now lives on social security.
“I wish it never happened,” Post said. “It was totally a nightmare.”
Many people tried to get hold of Post’s riches, including an ex girlfriend who filed a lawsuit claiming a share of his winnings. His brother was also arrested for hiring a hit man to kill him so that the money would go to the family when he died.
Other siblings pressured him into investing into a car business and a restaurant-two project which failed to bring in any money.
The lottery winner also spent time in jail for firing a gun over the head of a bill collector. And within a year he was $1 million in debt.
Post admitted he hadn’t thought it through properly and was just tried to please his family. He eventually declared himself as bankrupt.
He now lives on $450 a month and lives off food stamps.
Suzanne Mullins
Suzanne Mullins won $4.2 million on the lottery in 1993. Now she is in a considerable amount of debt to a company that lent her money using the winnings as collateral.
She borrowed $197,746.15 which she agreed to pay back with her yearly cheques from the lottery in 2006. When the rules changed and Mullins could collect her winnings in one lump sum, she cashed in the remaining amount but stopped making payments on the loan.
She blames the large debt on the lengthy illness of her uninsured son-in-law who needed $1 million for medical bills.
Ken Proxmire
Ken Proxmire was a machinist when he won $1 million on the lottery. He moved to California and went into the car business with his brothers and within five years he had filed for bankruptcy.
“He was just a poor boy who got lucky and wanted to take care of everybody,” explains Ken’s son, Rick.
“It was a hell of a good ride for three or four years, but now lives more simply. There’s no more talk of owning a helicopter or riding limos. We’re just every day folk. Dad’s now back to work as a machinist,” says his son.
Janite Lee
Janite Lee of Missouri won $18 million in 1993. Lee was very kind with her money and shared it between a variety of causes, such as political party organisations, education schemes and the community services.
Reports later claimed that seven years later, Lee filed for bankruptcy with just $700 remaining in her account.
Evelyn Adams
Evelyn Adams was the lucky double lottery winner who won in both 1985 and 1986, totalling $5.4 million.
Now, Evelyn has no money and says, “Winning the lottery isn’t always what it’s cracked up to be.”

She lost the money in slot machines and couldn’t say no to relatives and friends.

Many of us mere mortals struggle in our day to day lives to make ends meet. With the recession taking its toll on people’s bank balances and lifestyles, causing some to remortgage their homes, many of us are opting for a night in instead of a night out, 241 offers, holidays in the UK and the bike instead of the bus to work.
Well as much as you may be struggling now, don’t think that those high flying celebs are rolling in the cash pot. Many celebrities over the years have got themselves into hundreds of thousands of pounds of debt, trying to keep up with the lavish lifestyle, the celebrity world brings.
Well to make you feel a little bit better and so you don’t feel as bad spending a few pennies on that gorgeous black dress, or a couple of pints in the pub, take a look at these super spending celebrities and the messy situations they got themselves in.
Kerry Katona
One of the biggest celebrity spenders this year has been Kerry Katona who declared herself as bankrupt last month due to an unpaid tax bill.
The former Atomic Kitten star has just been dropped as the face of Iceland, after being snapped taking cocaine earlier in August 2009.
Kerry earnings over the past few years does not equate to her spending. The star is reported to have earned £1 million for her book, ‘Too Much Too Young,’ £750,000 for her Iceland ad contract, £400,000 annual earnings for her column in OK! Magazine, £250,000 from her diet and fitness video, £100,000 for her reality shows ‘My Fair Kerry’ and £25,000 for winning I am a Celebrity.
The star actually spends £1.5 million on her luxury five-bed house in Cheshire, £115,000 on a Lamborghini for hubby Mark, £90,000 on a top end Range Rover, £70,000 Porsche Cayenne GTS and £12,000 on a motorbike for Mark…again.
Shane Ritchie
Shane Ritchie may be a famous star on the TV screen but don’t expect to see him splashing his cash on expensive furniture or buying everyone a drink at the pub. 
Despite the rumoured £200,000 wage packet during his time at Eastenders, the lovable Alfie Moon faced arrears on the £8,000 a month mortgage of his £2million mansion. Ritchie had to sell his dream home to avoid bankruptcy and clear up his debts.
The TV star bought the house complete with a pool and cinema in 1996 for £400,000, but had to remortgage five times over the years running up £500,000 in debt after his career nosedived.
Returning to our TV screens as the lovable Alfie Moon, he used his new income to splurge £250,000 in a 40th birthday party and fund a movie called Shoreditch starring Joely Richardson.
“I bankrolled it to the tune of half a million,” he says. “Every penny I had went into it. Last summer my car was repossessed. I could not pay the mortgage for a year and bailiffs were threatening to come round over a £2,000 bill.”
His friends helped him clear up his immediate debts and will no doubt be expecting to see their cash returned now Ritchie is back in the money.
Bill Roache
Another soap star who got caught up in the celebrity stardom is Coronation Street’s Bill Roache who plays Ken Barlow.
The long standing Corrie actor was made bankrupt in 1999 and was ordered to pay legal costs despite winning a libel case against the Sun newspaper. He was awarded £50,000 in damages but because the figure was exactly the same that the paper had offered him in an out-of-court-settlement, he had to meet the legal costs of around £120,000 and his debts are believed to have spiralled to £600,000.
Not like the Ken we know and love in the street then!
Mike 
Tyson
Former boxing champion Mike Tyson became a household name during a career which earned him more than £165 million.
However, the famous boxer is now longer throwing his money around after being declared bankrupt with debts of more than £70 million.
His luxurious mansions have long since been sold along with his collection of classic cars.
The boxing champion now lives in a modest rented home in Phoenix.
Adam Faith
Former 1960s singer, Adam Faith made a living out of telling others how to handle their money… I bet many wish they didn’t take advice of him. 
After the collapse of the satellite television channel he founded, The Money Channel saw him declared bankrupt with debts of £32 million.
Faith unfortunately died in 2003 and left his widow, Jackie to deal with pressure from creditors demanding she moved out of their marital home.
Agents for an insolvency firm handling her late husband’s affairs claimed half of the family possessions along with 50 per cent of a ‘paltry’ life insurance policy.
George Best
Former footballer, George Best, lived his life surrounded by women, gambling, fast cars and alcohol.
At the height of his career, Best was taking home £3,500 a week while the average footballer would bring home £75.
But the large wage packet and the alcohol fuelled lifestyle failed to support the footballer and his life and health.
He took up gambling after he gave up football, claiming that it was his way of filling the void in his life.
In November 1982, George was declared bankrupt, owing creditors £22,000. His most famous comment on his lifestyle was, “I spent a lot of money on booze, birds and fast cars. The rest I just squandered.”
Kim Basinger
In March 1993, the stunning Kim Basinger pulled out of Boxing Helena, four weeks before shooting. 
The studio sued the star, which resulted in Basinger declaring she was bankrupt to settle the £6 million claim. This terrible decision also came after her ill-fated move in 1989 to buy the town of Braselton, Georgia, for £12.5 million, which was later sold.
The late 80s also brought further bad news for the star as her first husband, makeup artist and Basinger’s manager, filed for a divorce. He reportedly demanded a £15 million settlement.
Most celebs have and will continue to be lavish spenders as long as the money keeps rolling in. What they forget to realise is that money does run out if you don’t keep on working, or you spend in excess on things you don’t necessarily want or need.
We mere mortals may have to learn the hard way sometimes but at least we don’t come down with a bump with debts of £6 million! Kind of makes you feel a little bit sorry for these not-so-clued-up celebs living in a fantasy world!
