Super stars like Jennifer Lopez, Lea Michele, Jennifer Aniston and Emma Stone got together in New York City this week to celebrate US Glamour magazine’s annual Women of the Year Awards.
Ever wished you were as hot as the Victoria’s Secret Angels? Adriana Lima has opened up about the extreme lengths she goes to for the annual fashion show and it’s certainly no easy feat!
Meanwhile the Pitt and Jolie clan are taking over Japan amid a full-on promotional tour for Brad’s film Moneyball. We check in with the rainbow family and see what they’ve been up to.
Jennifer Lopez Named Woman of the Year
Jennifer Lopez was the name on everyone’s lips at US Glamour Magazine’s Annual Women of the Year Awards. Not only did she leave everyone speechless in one of her best ever red carpet looks-a pale grey Atelier Versace gown with a thigh-high split, Jimmy Choo peep toes and Harry Winston jewels-but she took out the Woman of the Year Award and gave a close-to-teary speech saying how honored and overwhelmed she was.
With a very public divorce on her hands, it hasn’t been an easy year for 41-year-old Lopez who told the crowd what gets her through tough times, “It’s the women. Through the ups and the not-so ups, that’s the one thing that got me through. My grandmother, who taught me to cook and not be afraid and be humble. And to go out looking nice because people like that and then they respect you.”The single Mum also gave her daughter, 3, some credit, saying, “My daughter Emee inspires me to be a better human being.” Awww.
Victoria’s Secret Diet
Adriana Lima has spoken out about the gruelling diet and exercise plan of a Victoria’s Secret angel, telling British newspaper the Telegraph what she’s been put through for the months leading up to the big show.
The 30-year-old has been doing intense exercise daily since August and has amped that up to two massive workouts a day for the month leading up to the show. A nutritionist measures her muscle mass, fat ratio and levels of water retention to ensure she is on track and she is told to drink a gallon of water every day.
Nine days before the show, Lima will drink only protein shakes with powdered egg white and consumes no solid food. Two days before the show, she stops glugging the gallon of water and drinks normally then twelve hours before she stops drinking all liquids completely.Lima admitted it’s intense but says it’s all worth it, telling Telegraph, “…the Victoria’s Secret show is the highlight of my life. Becoming an Angel, once I achieved that, it was a dream-come-true for me. And I know that after all this is done, when I sit down with my daughter one day we are going to look back and it’s going to be very special.”
So when it comes time for us to watch those models strut their stuff, we’ll know they put in the hard yards to look THAT good!
Brad Pitt Takes Family to Japan
It’s never your average work trip when it comes to the Jolie-Pitt clan! Brad Pitt is currently on a promotional tour for his film Moneyball and his most recent stop is Tokyo.
Pitt and partner Angelina Jolie landed in Tokyo’s Haneda International Airport on Tuesday with their six children, all under ten years, in tow. Imagine getting that crew ready for the long-haul flight!
Despite a huge fanfare at the airport, the kids seemed unfazed, obviously used to the celebrity lifestyle. Just days before the whole family were in Budapestwhile Brad filmed scenes for upcoming film World War Z.
