I loathe the obsession with celebrities' figures more than anythang in the world, y'all! It's really over the top. You lose weight, you get a mag cover. You gain weight, you have a tabloid cover. It's ridic! But, one must give credit where credit is due and the mags love running gut, cellulite and bloated Britney pics, therefore, she deserves her moment.

Britney lost weight because she's not eating any sugar, not even fruit juice, and she's on a 1,200 calorie/day diet.

I had a friend who lost 100 pounds by not eating sugar and I've been on a sugar free diet on and off for the last six years. But it's hard!

Sometimes the only sugar I have is in mixed drinks. It's gets a little tough to remain sugar free when you go out to drink, but it's pretty easy to get used to actually with all the sugar free foods. But I honestly doubt Britney even eats those. All I know is Britney's weight loss is inspiring.

The 26-year-old pop princess showed off her bangin' new body in late July.

On eating right:

"I'm the healthiest I've been all my life. My diet has a lot to do with my getting into shape. I have no sugar. I don't eat fruit or even fruit juice because of the sugar. I eat chicken and salmon and rice. I eat avocados. I'll have egg whites for breakfast and sometimes turkey burgers for lunch. I try to do just 1,200 calories a day. It may sound like it's not much, but it's actually a lot of food if you eat the right things."

On cutting out a guilty pleasure of hers:

"Frappuccinos are gone. (laughs) I do still drink coffee, but just with Equal."

On working out five days/week at an outside gym and sometimes at the fully-equipped gym in her house:

"I was working with male trainers and recently switched to a woman because she knew how to lean me out better."

There is no pill or crash diet that can replace hard work. I love that Brit Brit's not just like, 'oh, I just started working out!' or 'Oh, I just cut back!' like a lot of these other Hollywood skanks say when they lose weight.

We are deeply saddened that LeRoi Moore, saxophonist and founding member of Dave Matthews Band, died unexpectedly Tuesday afternoon, August 19, 2008, at Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center in Los Angeles from sudden complications stemming from his June ATV accident on his farm near Charlottesville, Virginia. LeRoi had recently returned to his Los Angeles home to begin an intensive physical rehabilitation program.

The show went on for the Dave Matthews Band on Tuesday night, with Matthews paying tribute from the stage to saxophonist LeRoi Moore, who died earlier in the day.

"We all had some bad news today," Matthews told the sell-out crowd at the Staples Center in Los Angeles after the first song. "Our good friend LeRoi Moore passed on and gave his ghost up today and we will miss him forever."

Fans shouted Moore's name in tribute as the band resumed playing. Two songs later, Matthews once again made reference to Moore, saying: "It's easier to leave than be left."

Moore, a founding member of the band, died Tuesday afternoon of complications from an all-terrain vehicle accident in June, the band's rep announced.

Moore, who had recently returned to his house in L.A. to begin a physical rehabilitation program, died at Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center, according to the rep.

I completely agree with absolutely EVERYTHING she says! Preach it.

"I wish I had been nude from the time I was 12 until I was 28. I looked great!"

"I so wish I had listened to my mom and grandma when I was 18 and would complain about some little tiny bump or feeling bloated. I used to scoff and say, 'No, I feel fat today!' Now the joke's on me."

"I want to tell all young girls to walk around in bikinis all summer, because there will be that one day in your twenties when you'll eat a hamburger and actually see the hamburger on the side of your leg," she jokes.

I think Hoopz is absolutely stunning! What a difference keeping the dark locks makes!! :) She's also one of the realest contestants on the show. Respectful. Athletic. Fierce as hell.

I think I Love Money is my favorite reality show of all time. With all these alliances, the drama, White Boy and Megan, I couldn't ask for more. Megan's retarded dog is my fave crazy ass bitch on the show!

Who do I think's gonna go home next? Why, thank you for asking, voice in my head. I say it's The Entertainer (please, God) or Real. But I want Toastee and Megan's shady ass outta there. I think White Boy, has no shot because he's a threat. Heather and Hoopz don't either because they're athletic and tough. Brandi C, Megan or a-hole 12 Pack could walk away with the $250K prize.

Hoopz hits newsstands September 2.

Things were "tense" last week when Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan spotted each other at the opening of West Hollywood's Apple Lounge.

Ironically both sluts arrived around the same time. Paris was rollin' deep with her blond entourage while Linday's crew consisted "largely of gays," according to witnesses.

Linds and Paris were dancing when Samantha noticed Paris, she then whispered in Lindsay's ear the moment she saw Ms. Hilton.

And just when gyrating Lindsay and Paris were in danger of literally bumping into each otherâ€"both infamous femmes had, up until this moment, taken great pains to avoid speaking or looking at each otherâ€"Paris, like a bejeweled, overly coiffed gazelle, leapt across the dance floor to hug a shocked Lindsay, who limply hugged back.

Um, who the eff is Paris to interrupt Linds on the dance floor to rub her herpes all over her? It better have not been a good song. Of course Lindsay's hug back was limp. She's not a poser. You know she'd rather rip Paris' extensions out and pop that water bra she's been wearing to give her cleavage. Shit.

Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag are talking babies.

"I think I'd rather adopt than have kids," Pratt said when I caught up with the two this morning. "There are so many kids that need homes."

A few minutes later, Pratt, 25, clarified that he doesn't just want to adopt. "I wanna do both," he explained. "We'll pull an Angelina and Brad and have a whole clan."

Montag, 21, cooed, "We'd be so lucky to have a clan like that."

How predictable are these two, making the most obvious statements to get attention? I want Heidi to say her period's late and she may be knocked up, Spencer to get caught kissing another woman or man in front of the paps, Heidi going on a date with Brody Jenner or Jason ... Or for fug's sake, leak your own damn sex tape, Speidi!

If The Hills makes me lmao so much because it is the worst show on television, I'm sure a Speidi sex tape would be funnier than Superbad. Oh, and I saw Pineapple Express last night. The foot in the window scene was funny, but I should have been stoned, fo sho. That's just my recommendation, all.

A stylin' Kevin Federline is living large in Las Vegas! Before hitting the casinos, earlier in the day K-Fed spent time at TAO Beach club with his brother Chris, hanging out in a posh, private cabana and sipping pricey Patrón tequila.

Kanye West shirtless has turned me off more than turned me on. I just don't understand. In his clothes, he looks cut, and with his ego, hell yes, he better be cut. Not. So. Much. I'd still hit it, though, but only after he promises to be on top, that way he can burn more calories.

The woman is fierce!! I just watched Christina's interview on ABC's site. She's going to start a program to pay for breast cancer treatment for women who can't afford it.

Privately, she admits, "Sometimes I cry. Sometimes I scream, and I get really angry and I get really into wallowing in self-pity sometimes, and I think it's all part of healing."

"My decision, after looking at all the treatment plans that were possibilities for me, the only one that seemed the most logical and the one that was going to work for me was to have a bilateral mastectomy," said Applegate. "So basically I had a prophylactic double mastectomies."

Explaining her rationale in taking that dramatic step, she said, "I didn't want to go back to the doctors every four months for testing and squishing and everything. I just wanted to kind of be rid of this whole thing for me. This was the choice that I made, and it was a tough one."

The surgery took place three weeks ago. She did not undergo radiation or chemotherapy.

Applegate, whose initial reaction when she received her diagnosis, was. "Oh my god. I was so pissed off, so mad … I was just shaking." But then, she said, "Immediately I had to go into take-care-of-business mode."

Over the next eight months she will undergo reconstructive surgery. I'm gonna have cute boobs till I'm 90."
