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.”

Britney Spears recently opened up to Stylist about her favorite food and her biggest challenges – let’s hear her out:

On Her Biggest Challenge: “Trying to get up and go work out in the morning. I haven’t worked out in, like, two weeks. Sometimes it’s hard to be motivated. But once you get up and do it you feel like you’ve conquered the world.”

On Her Favorite Foods: “Chocolate. Definitely chocolate. A lot of chocolate. I love Scores in the States, with the caramel in the middle, and every once in a while if I’m really hungry then a Snickers bar is good. And M&Ms are great, Hershey’s Whoppers are great, Raisinettes… Twixes are great too. And the new Hershey’s Cookies & Cream, too.”

We all love models + their diets stories, so here’s an interesting one that tells us what supermodel Adriana Lima has been doing in order to look like her hot Angel self for this year’s Victoria’s Secret show – from The Daily Mail:

Adriana Lima admits she goes to dramatic lengths to perfect her body in time for the annual show – including working out twice a day and living on a diet of protein shakes made from powdered eggs. The mother-of-one also drinks a staggering gallon of water a day – and no liquids for 12 hours ahead of the show on Wednesday.

Adriana, 30, told The Telegraph: ‘No liquids at all so you dry out, sometimes you can lose up to eight pounds just from that.’

The model has spent countless hours in the gym boxing and lifting weights, working out every day from August and bumping up to twice a day three weeks before hitting the runway. For nine days, she will have no solid foods.

She said: ‘It is really intense, it’s not really the amount of time you spend working out, it’s the intensity: I jump rope, I do boxing, I lift weights, but I get bored doing that. If I am not moving I get bored very easily.’

Wow, it definitely sounds very (too) strict and intense! What do you think about her diet and workout regimen?

Gisele Bundchen is the star of an elaborate and ultra vibrant spread in Vogue UK and she’s got some interesting quotes for you:

On how she feeds her son: My children, they are like white canvases. When Benjamin eats broccoli, he thinks it’s dessert!

On Her Amazing Body: Yeah, well. Like I tell my five sisters, who don’t work at it very hard at all, whatever you put in, you get out. I’m not afraid of working hard at anything, whatever it is. I just always want to be the best that I can.

… says Gisele.

Many, many more images from this funky spread next!

Olivia Munn recently told Radar Online that she actually drinks alcohol in order to make working out seem more fun, because otherwise, she just hates it, just like she hates running and exercising outside:

“It seems weird but I drink. I drink when I work out. I literally hate working out.

My friends ask me if I want to go hiking up Runyon Canyon in Los Angeles and I’m like, ‘Why? I have the new Kinect. Why would you want to go outside? Why would you like to climb up a mountain?’ I really do drink when I work out. I have to trick myself into thinking I’m doing something fun.

I wouldn’t run if there was a fire. I wouldn’t run anywhere. I hate running.”

… says Olivia.
