Skinny VS Curvy

A pretty abrasive statement in the title – let’s find out the details from People:

Two months after revealing her new, 100 lbs.-lighter figure, Kirstie Alley is looking svelte and fabulous as ever, despite the pitfalls that come after losing weight.

“Maintenance probably is the hardest part,” Alley, 60, told PEOPLE at last night’s Dancing with the Stars. Her solution? Dancing.

“I dance almost every day,” says Alley, adding that her own run on the show “gave me something that I can do every day that I actually love that doesn’t feel like a hardship or a grind. Come on, getting on a treadmill every day would make me slit my throat.”

And she’s got her former dancing partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy to thank for keeping her exercise tedium at bay.

“To warm up, I do the cha cha that Maks and I did,” she says, adding that her current dance teacher does ballroom fitness with her, which “kicks your ass, it’s crazy.”

To supplement her dancing, Alley uses a weight loss product called Rescue Me that she also promotes. Thanks to it, she says, “I probably have more energy than I’ve ever had in my life.”

Ever since her appearance at the MJ tribute a while back (picture above), Christina Aguilera has been wearing the tiniest and the tightest little outfits, apparently sending the message that she loves her new fuller body (see her pantless here) – and Radar brings us a confirmation:

Christina Aguilera isn’t model thin and she doesn’t care! The 30-year-old superstar performed at the American Music Awards Sunday night and RadarOnline.com has photos of her in a skin tight sparkling Herve Leger dress. Critics have slammed the singer’s robust figure, even saying she looked pregnant, but she doesn’t let that bother her.

“Christina loves her curves,” a friend close to the singer exclusively told RadarOnline.com. “She is not pregnant! She’s a Latina woman with curves and since when is it not ok to have curves?”

Recently photographed looking like she’s put on a few pounds, Christina has told her friends that she is “proud” of her body.

“She feels like she is setting an example for women and young girls, especially Latinas. She’s very proud of her curves. Christina thinks she is a good role model – not everyone is super skinny and she wants girls to embrace their body type.”

Christina told her friends that she will continue wearing revealing dresses.

“It’s not what you look like in a dress, it is how you feel and it is about owning your dress. If you want to wear a tight dress then own it. She says you need to be happy in your own skin the way she is happy in hers.”

Nicole Scherzinger embraces the cover of Shape magazine this month – and you know what this means: interesting body and weight-related quotes coming right up! Let’s see what she has to say:

I started jogging and counting calories when I was just 14. I’ve been on every diet you can imagine. By the time I was in the Pussycat Dolls, I was on the scale all the time. It became my enemy because I noticed that when I exercised really hard, I’d gain weight. Now that I’m in my 30s, I’ve stepped off the scale – I just go by how my clothes fit.

My new motto is: Stay active, eat everything in moderation, and stop being so tough on myself. I’m more accepting of my body and have learned to really embrace it. These days it’s all about finding balance.

From the ‘What do celebs eat?’ series, here’s reality TV star Kristin Cavallari ready to share her daily menu and thoughts on food:

For breakfast usually I’ll do a smoothie if I’m gonna workout. If I’m not gonna workout I’ll do oatmeal or, you know, eggs with spinach and feta cheese I love. And then lunch I usually do a huge salad with a ton of veggies and I love hummus to snack on. I have these chips that I get at Whole Foods that are really good and carrot sticks and celery sticks. And I love fish and chicken and all that stuff. Actually, if I don’t eat healthy food I don’t feel good. For me, I crave healthy food.

… says Kristen in a recent interview.

Modern Family‘s Sofia Vergara loves talking about her famous curves – here she is today with a few interesting quotes on her enviable figure:

‘When I moved to America I was more voluptuous and I felt a little different. And one time years ago, I remember my publicist [at the time] told me: “I think you should just reduce your boobs because nobody’s going to take you seriously here. My mother almost had a heart attack. She was like: “God is going to punish you! You can’t cut your boobs!” I don’t regret not doing it, because now it’s become a big part of Gloria.’

‘In Latin America we do learn to be more comfortable with our bodies. Women are not shy to be in a bathing suit, in a G-string. But I also did a TV commercial for Pepsi when I was 17 on the beach in a bathing suit. ‘And after that, everybody was like: “Oh my God, that body”. And you know, you start to feel a little bit more confident if you have people thinking that you’re so fabulous!’

… says Sofia in Health Magazine.
