Skinny VS Curvy

On the possibility of getting further breast enhancement procedures:
“I have. When you breast-fed four children, things kind of change. So that’s probably the most likely thing on the radar. I went through a phase where I wanted to have smaller breasts. Sometimes it’s easier in dresses and gowns.”

On how she maintains her fit figure:
“I spend as little time as I possibly can to get the best results – five days a week if I’m lucky, or a minimum of three. I’ll do my own DVD. It’s a 55 minute body sculpting workout that’s old-school moves – squats, side lunges, dips, kicks – that we made more dynamic. You use multiple body parts and move at a pace where you also get cardio benefits. I go to a Pilates Plus class once or twice a week. Today I went to the gym and did 20 minutes of cardio. That’s all the time I had.”

On  turning 40:
“Forty is better than 30. I have a better understanding of who I am, what makes me tick, what’s okay and not okay. I’ve had such a great experience professionally in the last three or four years that it really opened my eyes to not procrastinating.”

Left – Before: Beyonce before her pregnancy, in April 2011.

Right – After: Beyonce + 50 pounds / 23 kg, a few days before giving birth.

Here’s the full story from People Magazine:

The singer says she gained 50 pounds during her pregnancy – putting on the last 20 during the final month leading up to the delivery – and was determined to bounce back after baby as soon as possible.

“I lost most of my weight from breastfeeding and I encourage women to do it; It’s just so good for the baby and good for yourself,” Knowles, who breastfed Blue for 10 weeks, says. Then, “about a month after” giving birth, the new mom tackled the remaining pounds with a strict diet and exercise routine.

“I counted calories. I worked out maybe three to four times a week,” she shares. “I did a lot of walking in the beginning and now I’m running. But I had to work my way up. I couldn’t just go right from being pregnant to running.”

All the hard work – including “staying away from anything delicious” and no cheat days – has paid off.

“I’m proud that my waist came back so fast. I’m proud of that and happy, but that was mostly from the breastfeeding,” the singer explains.

And not only is Knowles just “three to four pounds” away from her pre-pregnancy weight, but she has also acquired a new softness about her voluptuous body.

“My hormones are still in my body. Your body produces the hormones that make your body soft,” she says. “It’s just magical. It makes me so proud to be a woman because it’s just unexplainable what happens to your body – it’s incredible.”

27 year-old Scarlett Johansson recently opened up about her favorite treat and getting in shape for her latest role – from Fox News:

Scarlett Johansson was picture perfect in her form-fitting black Versace dress at the Los Angeles premiere of “The Avengers.” However, the butt-kicking super hero insisted that it’s only a matter of time before she packs on the pounds.

“Oh my good [I am obsessed] with buffalo chicken wings, I am addicted to them,” Johansson told FOX411’s Pop Tarts column. “You will have to roll me down the red carpet next time you see me.”

Johansson’s new-found food of choice comes on the heels of the super strict diet and workout regime she followed to be able to slip into a skin-tight “Black Widow” suit for the highly anticipated Marvel Comics blockbuster.

“You have to eat a really clean diet, a lot of kale and salmon. Basically you get all your nutrients and then training like crazy,” she explained. “The training is crazy, but you just suck it up and do it. There is a lot of strength training and agility training, and fight choreography. You go in, and you just do it.”

“It was absolute nonstop action, it was intense and just a rollercoaster of fights, stunts and explosions,” she said. “Then of course you have all these characters that do not belong together, and we are in the same room, and try to fight it out between us.”

And for the record, even as Johansson walked away, we heard her chatting about those tasty buffalo wings.

“I can’t stop eating them,” she whispered to her publicist. “I just can’t get enough.”

Hilary Duff, who started exercising very soon after giving birth, revealed to Us Weekly that she isn’t stressed about losing the baby weight, although she does want to regain her figure.

“I just started about a week ago at SoulCycle and I’m addicted to it,” she tells Us about her newfound fitness obsession. “It’s a great workout and it’s perfect because it’s only forty-five minutes — where else can you sweat like that in forty-five minutes?” Still, Duff admits she’s not going to extremes to slim down.

“I’m not stressing about it. I’m working out because I honestly missed it during my pregnancy –- getting in that good, hard workout. I need endorphins in my life to be a happy person. I want my body back but I’m not freaked out or anything — just working out and trying to eat a little bit healthier.”

.. says Hilary, who gave birth one month ago.
