There is no need to issue a spoiler alert when it comes to the infamous O.J. Simpson trial. At least, the first trial for which he was brought up on murder charges for the deaths of Nicole Brown and Ronald Goldman. He was found not guilty.

Many people were unsure as to what the outcome of the seemingly endless trial might be, even though he did have the “dream team” on his side. A legal defense team made up of some of the biggest and brightest legal stars of the era. Let’s look at seven facts you should know about the O.J. Simpson attorneys:

1. Who were they? Alan Dershowitz and F. Lee Bailey were two of the most famous names, but there was also Johnnie L. Cochran, Jr., Robert Shapiro and Robert Kardashian. (Yes, that is the same Kardashian you are thinking, and he is the late father of Kim, Rob, Khloe and Kourtney). This was an unprecedented assembly of the biggest names available, and it is doubtful that the public will ever see such a gathering of forces again.

2. The Kardashians are famous because of their dad? In a word: yes. Robert had been one of O.J.’s best friends and appeared in the spotlight during the trial. Though the Kardashian marriage did not weather the media storm, the family remained in the spotlight when Kris married Bruce Jenner (now Caitlyn Jenner) and when Kim became a stylist to the stars. Reality TV spurned more interest, and today they are far more famous than their father ever was.

3. Johnnie Cochran was as famous as the other lawyers, but only in the world of celebrities. Before O.J. he had been the legal counsel to Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, Magic Johnson and many more. He had a distinct strength with high profile cases and could handle the media easily with his larger-than-life personality.

4. LegalZoom is due to the O.J. case – Well, it is due to Robert Shapiro’s work on it. He started the DIY legal website, which offers custom document creation for individuals and small businesses, after the case was finished. He actually didn’t create it but was asked by a group of business experts to put his name to it, and thus we have instant legal documents through the site.

5. F. Lee Bailey was already famous long before Simpson – The world had already developed respect for F. Lee Bailey decades before he became part of the Dream Team. He had, as one group says “already carved out a place in American legal, and pop culture, history.” By defending the Boston Strangler (Albert DeSalvo) as well as Sam Sheppard (who inspired “The Fugitive” TV series and film), he had become a household name.

It took nine months of testimony and four hours of jury discussion to clear him of the charges. Though he is in jail for other, unrelated crimes, he will always be known for this one, historic and truly unforgettable case and legal team.

“The Rock” or Dwayne Johnson to his friends and family is big. No, he isn’t big…he’s BIG. Tall and enormously muscled, he is easily one of the largest actors currently active in the world of entertainment. It is why he was cast as the Scorpion King as well as Hercules, and why he was a successful wrestler before Hollywood came calling.

While he also is a gifted performer who can do comedy as well as action, his 6-foot-5 frame and 250 pounds-plus of muscle are also what have brought him fame. So, how on earth does he manage to maintain his flawless build? It is work almost as big as he is himself, and a truly “Herculean effort”. In other words, if you want to look like The Rock, you need to be fully committed to a pretty intense diet and exercise routine.

Keep in mind that he does switch up his routines to accommodate the roles he is playing.

“Depending on the role, it will really dictate the type of training I do. For ‘Hercules,’ it was a 22-week diet, while for ‘G.I. Joe: Retaliation’ it was about a 14-week diet, and for ‘Pain & Gain’ I wanted to come out looking bulky, big, and dangerous, so we adjusted accordingly.”

For Hercules, for instance, he did six days on and six days off for six months. Each day was 50 minutes of cardio and then targeted routines for specific body parts – with the emphasis on legs.

Bodybuilding magazine followed him for a day and discovered that he does 50 minutes of intense cardio first thing in the morning. Eats breakfast, and then goes to the gym.

“My workout is constantly changing and adapting, but for the most part, I do 4 sets of 12 reps with a 60-90-second rest. I don’t play around in the gym. I always aim to be the hardest worker, and I make sure I clang and I bang to the best of my ability.”

Dwayne Johnson standing next to Shaq, Charles Barkley and Mark Wahlberg. We know The Rock is tall at 6′ 5″, but look at how much taller Shaquille O’Neal is.

This really counts when he gets on set, since he strives to do as many of his own stunts as he is allowed. He does nothing unusual and blends everything from barbell squats, leg presses and deadlifts with pullups, hyperextensions and more.

His diet is not for the faint of heart and involves six or seven meals each day. Breakfast is often steak, egg whites, oatmeal, and watermelon juice. Next up is chicken with mushrooms, peppers, broccoli and a protein shake. After that he’ll eat some salmon, asparagus, eggs, rice and broccoli. Meal #4 is usually steak, potato, asparagus and orange juice. The next meal is egg whites and casein protein.

Think you can keep up with this routine? If so, you can look a lot like The Rock. Keep in mind that he says he intentionally bulks up and pushes the limits. If you want to tone it down in order to just get a bit more buff, you can reduce the intensity and the calories and achieve some good definition and strength.

What do Angelina Jolie, Maria Shriver, three of the Kardashians and Denise Richards all have in common? Laura Wasser. So too do Johnny Depp, Drew Barrymore, and Jennifer Gardner.

If a headline about a famous couple’s divorce makes you think, “Aww…that’s too bad, I thought they were going to last” you will probably also see Wasser’s name somewhere in the mix.

Why? According to one article in People, Los Angeles family law attorney Atousa Saei said that “Everyone knows Laura. She is the celebrity of celebrity divorce attorneys.”

This is why she is also the “go to” attorney even before a divorce or marriage begins. After all, it was Wasser who Antonia Banderas and Melanie Griffith contacted more than a year before announcing their split and who Britney Spears’ management team relied on after she became engaged to Kevin Federline.

The reigning queen of negotiating an agreement before filing, she is able to keep the ugly details of some of the highest profile divorces from ever reaching the public eye. This is saying something in the era of TMZ, paparazzi, social media and on-all-the-time gossip columnists. In fact, these very same entities have labeled Wasser the “disso queen”, with disso standing in for the more formal “dissolution of marriage” that is the focus of most of her daily work.

Naturally, those unfamiliar with Wasser and her rise to fame may wonder how someone could get to this level. How can an attorney earn such a reputation and create such an approach, that they are famous among the world’s most rich and famous? It is the family business.

Not Far From the Tree

Dennis Wasser started the family law firm (Wasser, Cooperman & Mandles) in 1976 and tended to attract big names even then. He worked for Billie Jean King in the early 1980s when she was then married but sued by her lesbian lover for palimony. Other clients of her father included Mia Farrow, Harrison ford and Steven Spielberg, but Laura Wasser seems to have consistently attracted the younger, newer names in entertainment and sports.

Joining the family business in 1995, after graduating from Loyola Law School, saying:

“For a minute, I worked at the Western Law Center for disability rights, writing up briefs to put safety things in public bathrooms. But then I split up with my husband, and I needed to make a living. So I told my dad, ‘I don’t think it’s going to work out’. And he said, ‘Great, take care of it.’ That was my first case.”

Less than six years after that, she got the job that started her on her celebrity trajectory when fellow attorney to the stars, Johnnie Cochran, partnered with her to represent Stevie Wonder in a massive, $30 million dollar lawsuit. Filed against him by his former girlfriend, Wasser was able to get Wonder what he wanted, earning her reputation as her father had – with a successful palimony case.

Though it was resolved through mediation, she earned such devotion from Wonder that word of her toughness quickly spread.

Though the daughter of “America’s most feared divorce lawyer” (as her father was described in 2004), Wasser herself is often described as quietly ruthless.

This is why celebrities seem to gravitate to her; because she has a knack for keeping things out of court if at all possible. Many attribute this to her bluntness and directness, which is all about getting the deal done. She calls it as she sees it, even if it means directing her bluntness at the client.

Yet, she is also not unwilling to disassociate from a high-profile case if things get out of hand.

Britney Spears, Kevin Federline and the Rise of 24/7 Paparazzi Coverage

This is something seen in the way Wasser responded to the now-infamous Britney Spears divorce from Kevin Federline. Most of us have seen the wildly unfortunate photos of Spears with a shaved head, seeming to snap and go after a parked vehicle with an umbrella. Pleading with the press to leave her alone, she flies into a rage, curses at them and rushes off with a friend in a car nearby.

At the height of some sort of collapse, she soon headed to rehab and emerged healthier and more prepared to return to the spotlight. It was a very good thing for Spears that her management team had put her in touch with Wasser prior to marrying Federline – her second husband.

After all, it was Wasser who was able to make it clear that the fantasy of romance should not overcome common sense. As recorded in an interview with Bloomberg:

“A lot of times what will happen, particularly with young women, is they don’t want a prenup. They’re in love. This is fantasy time—‘We’re never going to get divorced, and I don’t want anybody, certainly not some old guy in a suit, telling me how it’s going to work out.’ So they bring me in. We have the conversation.”

After her conversation with Spears, Wasser was able to help her create a good prenup, but then got the call only two years later when the pair was about to split. The work she had done for Spears was able to address the financial aspect of the relationship, but not the children the couple shared.

However, Wasser left the case a year later saying it was “ugly” and that she got her firm out of the case. Refusing to go into specifics, she did go on the record saying that she felt a change was occurring at the time of the Spears-Federline split and that printed gossip was losing ground while online news was rapidly creating a demand for non-stop images and updates. Saying that the divorce was too publicized, she also noted that Federline’s legal team was “intent on making sure the case got played out to the press. Much more intent than Mr. Federline was, really.”

This may be what has set the stage for Wasser to become one of the cagiest and most secretive attorneys at work in the world of celebrity divorces. Her father jokes that he may not even know she is handling a case until it appears in the tabloids or press, but this is all part of her successful approach.

Ugly Divorces Made Less So

Today’s new pressure for private information or intimate details of a divorce settlement has created a niche into which Wasser easily stepped. She has fashioned a winning recipe for hiding those details from the public, if at all possible. She also has the filing process down to a near-formulaic approach.

This is important when you might be handling multiple, high profile cases all at once. For instance, when she has two big name clients about to file for divorce, she advises both to wait until their information will reach the press almost at the same instant.

Why? It allows both couples to appear in the same magazines or website covers at the same time, diminishing the intensity of the spotlight. Though this seems like a humane reasoning, it also has to do with the strength of a case and the ability to keep it out of the courts and as low-key as possible. As noted in the Bloomberg story on her:

“Wasser urges many clients to negotiate an agreement before filing official documents. ‘I think we worked on it a good year—no, a year and a half—before it came out on TMZ,’ says Melanie Griffith, who hired Wasser when she divorced Antonio Banderas in 2014. ‘And when we did file it, there were some personal things that were agreed upon by Antonio and myself that we had removed from the official papers so they wouldn’t get out.'”

In addition to these negotiations, Wasser’s clients often agree to paying private hiring fees for judges able to work outside of the public courts.
Such an approach allows Wasser to invite both parties, the attorneys and the judge into her impressive offices and use all of the same courtroom practices, but in total privacy. Though some details do eventually reach the public, the most harmful or personal issues never see the light of day. Instead of a courtroom full of curiosity seekers and paparazzi, a private office is the only witness to the events.

However, this has earned some serious complaints from Wasser’s fellow attorneys. Why? Because many family law judges can now earn around $1,000 per hour providing private services. This has caused some to retire from the bench, bringing less seasoned judges into the public system. This can make things challenging for divorce attorneys unfamiliar with the judges they face, and unable to predict the outcome of any case.

Still, it is probably the very reason that Johnny Depp got in touch when his marriage to young Amber Heard collapsed earlier in 2016.

Johnny, Amber and the Media Spotlight

As reported by Billboard in late June:
“Amber Heard filed for divorce from Johnny Depp just two weeks ago, but already their split has become an ugly legal and press battle. The question facing lawyers for both sides is how the fight playing out in the media will impact the legal proceedings — or whether the public relations war is the only war that really matters.”

This is exactly the matter that Wasser addresses through her carefully constructed approach to celebrity divorce. After all, she actually prefers to have her clients’ cases filed in Santa Barbara, CA rather than Los Angeles because of clerks leaking documents in the larger city. She also explains that the turnaround time between documents being filed and the information appearing in the news is a matter of hours.

As she explained in one interview:
“’The turnaround is so fast,’ Wasser says. ‘I have to tell my clients, ‘OK, the courier is filing it today. OK, he’s in line to file. OK, it’s filed. It will be on TMZ within an hour.’ ”

And it is not just the filing that appears at the speed of light. It is every little detail about a case, and in Depp’s example, things went from nasty, to sour to brutal in the blink of a virtual eye.

From the moment the split with Heard made news, the international spotlight was on the issue. Though it is not earth-shattering, it is celebrity gossip, and this is something that attracts more attention than almost anything else. Because of it, though, Heard’s claims of abuse created even more media furor.

A timeline of events shows that there is evidence of some sort of tumultuous interactions, that the couple was quite intense in their behaviors, but that information was persistently leaked in a clear campaign against Depp and his reputation. Publications like People magazine ran “exclusives” and details from court papers, something Wasser tries hard to prevent from occurring.

Laura Wasser On Her Way To Court.

Amber alleges that Johnny showed up at her birthday party “inebriated and high” and “violently shoved me to the floor.” She also states that Depp hit her with a cell phone.

Wasser did file to keep divorce details private, insisting that Heard and her team had the right to this information, but the public did not. Delays in the case, due to arguments over depositions relating to the domestic violence, led to another leak. This time, it was a video of Depp, allegedly lashing out violently, and it appeared in the press the day before Heard was to be deposed in the domestic violence issue.

Quite quickly, the case was quietly brought to a conclusion without a lot of further details emerging. Heard’s lawyer, Samantha Spector, negotiated a $7 million settlement, but one that was to be given to charity. On the same day of the settlement, Spector also released a statement explaining that her “assertion that Amber Heard has been vindicated in the court of public opinion is not true. We regret the error and apologize to Johnny Depp.”

This holds obvious shades of Wasser. Her efforts to reclaim her client’s once positive reputation by overriding the damages done by Heard’s team in that court of public opinion are clear. In less than a few month’s time, the issue has died down, and Depp will be able to begin reclaiming his status as a beloved character actor.

What would the celebrities of the world do without the quiet ruthlessness, persistence, and methods of Laura Wasser?

By now, anyone who follows the career of actress and pop star Selena Gomez knows that she’s no stranger to speaking out about things she’s passionate about. So when the media lashed out at Selena late last year for appearing unhealthily overweight in several vacation photos, it was no surprise to anyone that Selena lashed right back. Refusing to be ashamed of her body, Selena continued enjoying her vacation, and positing photographs, captioning them with messages of acceptance and love for herself.

But after arriving back home, Selena took another look at her lifestyle, and began to understand how her lax diet could be affecting her health. This year, the singer debuted an all-new look, complete with a much slimmer body, and a glowing, healthy appearance. How did she achieve it in such a short period of time?

Selena Gomez Diet

Selena’s main problem before was the way she was eating. While close family members later revealed that medication taken for Lupus was part of why Selena struggled with her weight, the singer herself revealed that she had a major love of junk food. From candy to fast food burgers, Selena was never far from her next unhealthy meal. These days, she treats food a bit differently.

First, she began substituting sweet fruits like pineapple and watermelon for her candy cravings, which helped her get rid of a large portion of the refined sugar that made up her diet. This also helped her shave nearly 1,000 calories off her daily diet, which helped her drop about 20 pounds in just three weeks. She also got rid of fried foods and started practicing intermittent fasting – meaning she only eats from about 1PM to 9PM every day, giving her metabolism a major boost.

Selena Gomez Workout

While you might think that dancing and performing would be enough to keep any body in shape, our bodies can easily get used to certain activities, meaning they no longer have any affect on our shape. In order to sculpt a slimmer body, Selena turned to trainer Any Rosoff, who started her on a regime of cardio, Pilates, and yoga. Circuit training and outdoor workouts like hiking help them keep the routine varied so that Selena never gets bored.

Another method that Selena uses to keep the pounds melting off is regular visits to Shape House, a sweat lodge where celebrities lie under infrared lights that cause a lot of sweating. According to Shape House, one session in their facility can get rid of up to 1,600 calories. Selena even has a personal, portable version of their “sweat bag” that she takes with her on tour.

Overall, Selena Gomez combined a sensible, whole-food approach with a few celebrity secrets to help drop pounds quickly. Intermittent fasting and finding a workout routine that mixes it up constantly are two of the best things that she’s done for her health. While Selena is still focused on body positivity, there’s no hiding the fact that she looks healthier and happier than ever.

New couple alert! Toni Braxton and Birdman are officially together! The rumor mill has been stirring about the duo for months, but it wasn’t until Toni accompanied Birdman to the 2016 BET Awards that their love was confirmed by Toni’s rep. Here are seven things you should know about R&B’s newest “it” couple.

1. They’re old friends – While their relationship status may be new, the two have known each other since they collaborated on Toni’s 1992 track, “Baby You Can Do It.” After 14 years of friendship, Toni says about Birdman, “Ever since I’ve been knowing that man, he’s been phenomenal,” as reported by US Magazine.

2. He’s got mama’s approval – On The Rickey Smiley Morning Show, Evelyn Braxton said Birdman is a nice man, adding, “I don’t care what others say about him. He is a nice man. He is full of respect.” If mama’s happy, everybody’s happy! Right?

3. Wendy Williams is not a believer – The talk show host has decided that Toni and Birdman’s PDA isn’t convincing and is accusing the pair of having a “showmance” for ratings. Apparently, the opinion was formed after Williams saw a photo of the couple where Toni wasn’t “cupping” Birdman’s waist enough. Not exactly what we consider photographic evidence, but ok…

4. Birdman doesn’t kiss and tell – According to People, when the rapper was asked about his relationship status with the bombshell Braxton, he said, “We’re just chillin’.” That’s the way to play it cool, Birdman. But we’re not buying it after seeing them together.

5. They made their debut at the BET Awards – Although the rumors have been flying since May, the couple hadn’t officially come out as an item until they showed up together at the 2016 BET Awards show where Birdman was a presenter. The two couldn’t keep their hands off on one another and were spotted getting pretty cozy all night long.

6. This isn’t their first rodeo – Toni has been single in recent years, but before then she was married to Keri Lewis and the couple had two sons together. Unfortunately, they split in 2013 after 12 years of marriage. Birdman has been linked to several famous ladies, including Keyshia Cole, Kimora Lee Simmons, and Trina, according to US Magazine.

7. He’s not afraid to show his affection – Birdman was recently reported to have given Toni a brand new Bentley costing $250,000! The lavish gift is a luxury SUV that hasn’t even been released to the public yet. So, how do we get on Birdman’s good side??

While Birdman and Toni Braxton are a new couple, we have a feeling they’re going to get pretty serious pretty fast if the last few weeks are any indicator. Better get an eye-full of the unlikely couple while you can, because if they’re like most Hollywood hook-ups these days, they may not burn brightly for long.

Drug Treatment Centers are rarely considered to be grand or luxurious, and definitely not a place you would want to find yourself in. However, when the rich and famous make the decision to take a “mental break” they do it in style and cost is never an option.

As one of the most quintessential girl-next-door celebrities in Hollywood, Reese Witherspoon is not one to shy away from being seen in a bikini. From her role as a leading lady in multiple romantic comedies, to her recent role as a woman hiking solo through the wilderness, Reese has had to drastically change her body more than once. Some roles require her to be thin and delicate, while others require her to be strong and toned. In order to keep her body healthy while she sculpts these looks, Reese relies on something that many celebrities have forgotten: good old-fashioned common sense.

Reese Witherspoon Diet

Constantly changing weight and muscle tone can take a toll on any body. In order to give her own body a fighting chance and to keep herself healthy during her grueling schedule, Reese focuses on a common-sense diet that relies on real food. Fruits, vegetables, lean protein, healthy fats, and small portions of dairy make up her diet. In fact, if you look at a typical meal for Reese, it would almost perfectly mirror the advice given by most doctors to follow the food pyramid (recently replaced by the MyPlate system).

When she craves something that isn’t considered part of a healthy diet, Reese eats a small portion to keep temptation at bay. Her diet relies on following standard healthy advice, like eating a good breakfast, and not eating anything several hours before going to bed. Another name for this kind of diet is “clean eating”, meaning eating foods in their most “real” form – avoiding things that are overly processed or artificial.

Reese Witherspoon Workout Routine

Reese has truly embraced her image as a California girl, and nowhere is that reflected more than in her workout routine. In addition to following a regular workout routine that includes yoga and Pilates, Reese’s main focus is on getting outside and having fun. She doesn’t spend her time in a gym, or working out at home. Instead, she hikes, runs outdoors, swims, and stays active with her family.

By keeping her workout routine filled with fun activities that she truly loves, and by switching it up on a regular basis, Reese has been able to avoid hitting any plateaus. She’s kept a consistently lean body, even through having children, by again following the common-sense advice to just get some movement in every day.

As an avid runner, Reese relies on music to get her through her workouts. Paparazzi photos of the star running always show her headphones along for the trip. Reese also knows the value of having good gear. Her hiking shoes, running shoes, and other gear may not be the most high-tech gym equipment, but it is all designed to support the movements that she frequently does.

If you’re curious about Reese Witherspoon’s body transformations, remember that it doesn’t always take the latest fad or diet pill to maintain a healthy body. The age-old wisdom that we’ve all heard our whole lives can work to create a beautiful and healthy physique.

Madonna’s Workout and Diet Plan

Nearing her 60th birthday, Madonna’s body looks better than celebrities who are barely one-third her age, and the Queen of Pop doesn’t show any signs of slowing down soon. While maintaining a body like Madonna’s would be difficult at any age, keeping her toned and healthy look is even more impressive at her age. Not only that, but with three kids, tons of charity work, and a busy career, it hardly seems like Madonna has the time to keep herself in great shape. So what is Madonna’s secret?

Madonna Workout

Rather than sticking to any specific type of workouts, Madonna embraces as many types of exercise as she can. From yoga and Pilates, to karate, weightlifting, running, and swimming, Madonna has and will try it all. Several years ago, there was a rumor floating around that Madonna spent more than 45 minutes every day on her StairMaster, even using it while she took calls in her office.

These days, Madonna’s dedication to a strict workout regime is mirrored in the fact that she built her own gym next to her home. She works out for at least three hours each day, six days a week, focusing on cardio and strength training, as well as yoga to keep her body limber.

Don’t forget that athletic dancing routines are part of her job. When she’s on tour, Madonna spends hours practicing and performing her dances, in addition to her already intense workout regimen. Madonna has also created and published workout DVDs, and she also has gyms across the globe, including major international cities like Moscow and Mexico City. In short, exercise is not something that Madonna fits into her life, but rather something that she has built her life around.

Madonna Diet Plan

While you may believe that so much exercise would be enough to maintain a gorgeous body, Madonna is just as strict about her diet plan as she is her activity. Since the 90s, she’s been following a macrobiotic diet, based on holistic Japanese principles for good health. She avoids all processed foods, refined sugars, and anything else that could be considered unhealthy. Even on her birthday or at the holidays, Madonna won’t be found eating cake or enjoying a soda.

Her macrobiotic eating plan is mostly vegan, and includes a ton of vegetables, fruits, and non-wheat whole grains. Madonna eats just two meals per day, and – while she does occasionally eat meat – dairy, eggs, all poultry, and wheat are not on her menu. A standard meal for Madonna would be brown rice and oats topped with berries, or a stir fry of quinoa, green beans, and grilled fish.

Many people who have tried Madonna’s diet, published as a cookbook by her former private chef, Mayumi Nishimura, have said that it is one of the most difficult diet plans they have ever tried to stick to. When combined with her strict exercise routine and challenging performance schedule, Madonna’s secret for staying so toned and healthy is clearly a hefty dose of self-discipline.

Kate Hudson Reveals Her Workout Routine and Diet Plan

Madonna is one of the founders of Hard Candy Fitness, a fitness chain with locations all over the world.

Starlet Jennifer Lawrence has already made a name for herself as one of the most talented young actresses in Hollywood. Her attitudes about healthy bodies and appearances has also set her apart from the skinny-obsessed culture of the stars. Known for finding joy in food and for pointing out how being too thin can be harmful, Jennifer has offered young women and girls a role model for healthy weight loss.

For her role in The Hunger Games, Jennifer had to maintain an athletic appearance, as well as the ability to perform difficult stunts as the warrior character Katniss. In her role as Mystique for X-Men, where she appeared mostly in body paint, Jennifer had to be even more conscious of her body’s appearance. In order to keep her body in peak condition, and not give up her favorite foods, Jennifer followed a strict exercise regimen.

Jennifer Lawrence Workout

The first rule of Jennifer’s workout plan is to break up her exercise throughout the day. Rather than working out for hours at a time, she focuses on 20 or 30-minute bursts of activity to keep her motivation going throughout the day. These sets of activity start with either a walk or a morning jog, and then include high-intensity interval training circuits throughout the day.

Rather than weightlifting, Jennifer focuses on bodyweight exercises, like squats, pushups, and planks. Her trainer explained to Elle magazine that this focus keeps Jennifer from making any excuses to skip training – when there is no equipment needed, it’s harder for her to get out of doing the work.

Jennifer is also a lover of yoga, and uses a regular yoga routine to keep her body limber and to improve her ability to perform the stunts needed for her high-action roles. Her trainer reported that many times, after having several hard workouts in a row, Jennifer would request yoga to give her body a rest.

Jennifer Lawrence Diet Plan

It’s no secret that Jennifer’s diet consists of things that many celebrities wouldn’t be caught dead eating. From scarfing down pizza in her ball gown at the Oscars, to frequently derailing interviews with conversations about French fries, Jennifer’s love of junk food is something we can all relate to.

But her trainer says that Jennifer eats these things wisely, indulging only occasionally. The rest of the time, her diet is made up of what he calls “sensible snacks”, such as popcorn, celery topped with peanut butter, Greek yogurt, and hard-boiled eggs. Rather than focus on a specific eating plan (such as a low-carb, high-protein diet, favored by many other stars), Jennifer’s eating plan is more about eating the right amount of calories, and enjoying a variety of healthy foods.

By giving her a diet plan that she could follow, one that included occasional splurges and treats, Jennifer’s trainer was able to keep her lean for her most challenging roles.

Jennifer Lawrence doesn’t follow a fad diet or exercise plan that promises fast results. Instead, she plays to her own strengths, allows herself to enjoy food in a sensible way, and puts in the hard work necessary to keep her body looking great.

As an always-athletic person, who owns her own fitness label, and is known for her toned California Girl looks, it was surprising to many when Kate Hudson revealed that she struggled to lose weight after having her second son several years ago. In an interview where she discussed her struggle to drop the baby weight, Kate said that she had never before been faced with a situation where she couldn’t break past a plateau.

These days, though, the actress and business woman is back in the lean, athletic body we remember from her heyday as a leading lady. If you’re wondering how she finally broke past the plateau and lost the baby weight for good, here’s what she’s revealed about her lifestyle changes:

Kate Hudson Workout Routine

Kate is known for her deep love of Pilates, which is showcased heavily in her line of athletic wear. She does at least three hours of Pilates per week, in addition to regular cardio. Her Pilates workouts include exercises such as single leg pulls, elevated clams, 100s, roll-ups, and crisscross exercises. She also mixes in weight training with Heartcore workouts, a Pilates-inspired style of fitness that is very popular in London.

When she’s not doing Pilates, Kate also does weight training and spinning. She loves SoulCycle, a high-intensity interval training version of the classic spinning workout. There’s even weight training added in. But Kate says that her real secret to sticking to a workout routine is to not stress about it. As long as she gets some kind of movement in during the day – whether it’s an hour-long session at the gym, or dancing around her house to work up a sweat – she’s happy.

Kate Hudson Diet Plan

Kate sticks to a strict alkaline diet plan, calling it more science experiment than diet. An alkaline diet is mostly a vegetarian, no-gluten, no-sugar diet, but that doesn’t mean that Kate eats boring meals every day. She freely admits to letting herself indulge when she’s in restaurants, and she has a coffee habit that rivals the busiest college student.

A regular meal plan for Kate includes 60 to 80% of all her calories coming from tofu, nuts, fruits, and vegetables. Alkaline diets include eating a lot of spices as well, such as curry, ginger, and cinnamon. Kate also focuses on keeping her calories low, aiming for 1,500 or fewer calories each day. One of the things that she noted from before she was able to break past her plateau was just how much she was eating – sometimes as much as 3,000 calories per day.

Kate has also written a book called Pretty Happy that explains her own philosophy regarding exercise and diet. She is a big believer in Ayurveda and the principles that govern it, and uses those ideas to inform all of her activity and food choices. At the end of the day, Kate Hudson’s diet and workout routine is similar to other celebrities, but includes activities that Kate loves to do, which helps her stay motivated.
