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.

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.

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. Of course, we all know that “mental break” is code for alcohol or substance abuse, but that doesn’t mean you can’t do it surrounded by Egyptian cotton and beautiful scenery.

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.

Looking at singer, designer, and actress Gwen Stefani, it’s hard to remember that she’s closer to 50 than 40 these days. Despite being a busy entrepreneur, the mother of three children, and having a romantic life that keeps the media on their toes, Gwen maintains an incredibly toned body. It wasn’t always like that, though – she’s revealed in interviews that she doesn’t have a naturally fast metabolism, and that she struggles to keep the weight from creeping on.

That’s something that many women can relate to, and looking at Gwen gives us all hope. If you want to copy the singer’s routine to see the same gorgeous body into your 50s, here’s what you need to know:

Gwen Stefani’s Workout Routine

Many singers and actresses focus on Pilates and yoga, deeming these activities perfect for creating lean, toned bodies. However, these types of exercises are often favored by starlets who have great genes and high metabolisms to begin with. In order to stay ahead of weight gain, Gwen opts for more grueling workouts, such as intense strength training, boxing, and high-intensity cardio workouts. She works out five times per week, with trainers who have also worked with action stars like Bruce Willis and Angelina Jolie.

While one part of her workout is strictly routine, Gwen also understands the importance of switching it up. So in addition to the boxing and cardio workouts that she does five times a week, she also makes time for “fun” activities that double as exercise, such as swimming, skiing, and hiking. These are things that she can do with her family, that keep her moving and put her hard-earned muscles to work doing practical movements.

Gwen Stefani’s Diet

If you want to copy Gwen’s success, you’re going to have to go vegan. While Gwen hasn’t always been very forthcoming about her diet plan, she is vocal about her vegan diet. She doesn’t eat processed foods, meat, or animal products of any kind (so, no cheese, eggs, or honey!). Instead, she focuses on getting tons of organic vegetables, whole grains, and vegan protein like nuts, tofu, and others.

Gwen’s food comes as direct from the source as she can get it. When she can get fresh-from-the-farm produce, that is her preference.

The good news is that you don’t have to have an iron will to be like Gwen. She understands that even the best personal trainers have to indulge sometimes. About once or twice a week, Gwen will enjoy a meal that includes something not quite as healthy – such as pizza or vegan cookies.

So, to be like Gwen, you need to:

• Fall in love with exercise, and incorporate movement into your daily life in addition to maintaining a regular workout routine.

• Go vegan, and only indulge in your favorite foods once or twice a week.

• Get your produce as fresh as possible, and always choose organic when you can.

With these lifestyle changes, anyone can copy Gwen Stefani’s diet and workout plan.

Looking at Jennifer Aniston today, it’s hard to believe that Friends last aired more than 12 years ago. Now in her late 40s, Jennifer looks the same as she did in her 20s, maintaining her signature casual-yet-elegant style and her health through a routinely healthy diet and workout routine. Here are the secrets that have kept Jennifer looking and feeling great all these years, and why each of them works.

Jennifer Aniston’s Diet

While many Hollywood stars discuss indulging sensibly, or having a weakness for cheeseburgers and just working off the calories, Jennifer Aniston does not lie about having to stick to her diet year-round. She’s very committed to eating only what is good for her body. She focuses on the following core tenants for her health:

While these sound like easy rules for most people to follow, it is Jennifer’s commitment to really following through with them every day, with no exceptions, that keep her healthy. Her specific diet plan is called a Zone diet, which consists of 40% fruits and vegetables, 30% lean protein like chicken, turkey, fish, and tofu, and 30% healthy fats like fish oil and avocados, at every meal.

She doesn’t depend on fancy, expensive health foods to maintain her diet. Simple foods, prepared with flavors that Jennifer loves (namely, Mexican-inspired flavors), and a commitment to never cheating on her diet make up her eating habits.

Jennifer Aniston’s Workout

Jennifer’s workout routine is as simple as her eating routine, but once again, it’s her dedication to sticking with it that makes all the difference. Jennifer does spin-yoga classes (30 minutes of spinning followed by 30 minutes of yoga) several times a week. Three more days a week are dedicated to weight training, and she supplements these days with a simple 45-minute cardio routine that includes biking, treadmill running, and using the elliptical. No matter what she has scheduled for the day, she keeps her workouts down to about an hour a day, and she takes Sundays off to give her body a rest.

When asked about her dedication to a plan that could become boring to others, Jennifer says that she uses food like a carrot. She thinks about having a big Mexican meal that weekend, and works out to earn the meal. She also says that it comes down to just “biting the bullet.”

This works to keep Jennifer healthy because, at the end of the day, the precise movements that we do aren’t as important as the regular habit of doing some movement. Jennifer found a system that works for her, and rather than chasing new fads or trends, she simply stuck with it until it became second nature. These days, she barely even has to think about motivating herself to work out or eat right – and that’s a goal that we should all strive for to create healthy bodies.
