Marisa Miller eating exercising

Marisa Miller is a bikini and lingerie model who sometimes also wears clothes for Victoria's Secret.



Marisa Miller poolside at the W Hotel in Los Angeles, celebrating the launch of the 2009 Victoria's Secret Swim Collection on May 14. Marisa Miller talked to Cosmopolitan magazine about her healthy eating habits: "I eat mostly organic, but I love macaroni and cheese, Mexican food, and egg-and-cheese croissants. So when I indulge, I eat protein and veggies for the rest of the day. It really is all about moderation and balance."

As for desserts Marisa Miller loves eating fruit. Sometimes its apple with some wedges of Laughing Cow cheese, and sometimes she puts melted chocolate over bananas or strawberries.



Exercising comes naturally to the athletic model; growing up Marisa Miller was an avid surfer and volleyball player. Now that she's crossed 30 Marisa has taken up female boxing and Spinning. Miller told Shape magazine: "I have a home gym and I take Spinning classes at my local health club. When I can I box with a trainer, which helps me blast calories. If I'm going on the road, I bring resistance bands with me so I can strength-train anywhere." She tells her trainer, "I want to keep my curves but look toned. I want things to bounce but not jiggle."



Here Marisa Miller is exercising her female chest muscles with these push-ups, one among six exercises she uses to tone up quickly before shoots. Beginners can rest on their knees instead of the feet while doing these push-ups. Marisa does three sets of 12-15 repetitions each.

Michelle Pfeiffer

Michelle Pfeiffer turned 50 last year while filming her new movie Cheri, which opened on Friday and tells the story of the professional siren Lea de Lonval, who falls unexpectedly in love with a much younger man. Above Michelle Pfeiffer in Italian Vanity Fair 2007.

"It certainly was walking into the eye of the storm, in terms of the whole issue of aging. I turned 50 on the set," Pfeiffer told the LA Times. "Honestly, there's certainly a mourning that takes place. I mourn the young girl, but I think that what replaces that is a kind of a liberation, sort of letting go of having to hold on to that. Everyone knows you're 50. So you don't have to worry about not trying to look 50. And then it becomes, Hey, she looks good for her age."



As a young girl Michelle Pfeiffer sold jeans in the mall, hung out on the beach, studied to be a court stenographer, and sold groceries at Vons. Michelle then entered and won the Miss Orange County beauty contest and got into movies. Pfeiffer has been in People Magazine's list of '50 Most Beautiful People in the World' a record six times! With her perfect cheekbones and angelic eyes Michelle has given some great performances in movies like Married to the Mob (1987), Batman Returns (1992), and What Lies Beneath (2002).

Michelle Pfeiffer adopted a baby girl Claudia Rose in 1993, and made being an unmarried mother acceptable before Angelina Jolie and Madonna. That same year she married David E. Kelley and has a son, John Henry, with him. In 2002 she devoted more time to her family, moving to rural California and living on a ranch with a cat, a pair of miniature donkeys, 3 dogs, and horses.



Above Michelle Pfeiffer shows off her pretty feet in Good Housekeeping July 2007. The 5'7½" tall beauty has a figure of 33½B-24-34 and says that she now doesn't oppose plastic surgery: "I don't think it's easy for women to watch themselves age." She has been known to do Yoga and works out with trainers; as for her eating habits Michelle says, "My favorite food in the world is Mexican food. I'm not a dessert person. I'm more of a crunchy, salty girl. I could live on chips and salsa."

Hilary Rhoda

Hilary Rhoda is a model known for her trademark bushy eyebrows and healthy figure. The 5'11" model wears size 4/6 (US/UK) and is far removed from the size 0/2 of most other skinny models. Hilary Rhoda is Estée Lauder's newest faces and has also graced the covers of Vogue, British Harper's Bazaar and W.



On left a photo by Karl Lagerfeld from Harper's Bazaar magazine, (L to R) Jessica Stam, Hilary Rhoda, the green Angela Lindvall, and Heidi Mount. Hilary Rhoda was born in Chevy Chase, Maryland on April 6, 1987. Hilary was studying in a private Catholic girls school when she and her mom happened to hear a "wanna be a model" commercial on the car radio. Rhoda's mother Marianne took her daughter to the Hilton Washington, where she was signed on by an agent and began part-time modeling.

Surprisingly Hilary originally wanted to be on television shows. "Remember that TV show All That?" she told Vogue. "It was kind of like Saturday Night Live for kids? I would always be like, 'Mom, have you called All That yet? I want to be on that show!' I graduated from high school and then moved to New York and concentrated on modeling, and I'm really glad it worked out. It's such a gamble." Hilary moved to New York City with her dogs, and her mother as manager, to pursue modeling full time. Rhoda got her big break when Balenciaga's Nicolas Ghesquiere selected her to appear in his Paris runway show.



Hilary Rhoda's healthy figure got her the Estée Lauder contract, since the cosmetics brand promotes healthy and athletic role models. Hilary Rhoda also became the face of Neiman Marcus, St. John Knits, and ERES Beachwear. Her prominent chin and thick eyebrows made people compare her to Brooke Shields.

Hilary says, "Besides walking those long New York City blocks, I do Pilates because it helps me feel longer and leaner, which is great considering my job! I love the Stella McCartney collection for Adidas." The sporty Hilary Rhoda is also modeling Victoria's Secret swimwear and has posed in the latest Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue.

Emma Watson is the new face of UK fashion brand Burberry. In the photos she is wearing an emblematic trench coat and carrying the new Woolf bag. Her grown up look is courtesy photographer Mario Testino and from the magic of makeup; loads of eyeliner along both lashes and around the eyes, while her freckles have been smudged out with foundation.

In an interview published in the former Emma Watson says, "I've decided that I'll go to America next fall, I'll enroll in an East Coast school, just not in New York, because it would be very distracting for me."



Emma Watson poses with Kate Bosworth at the British department store Harvey Nichols in London early this month. The occasion was a private dinner feting Rodarte designers Laura and Kate Mulleavy; both actresses are wearing Rodarte. Emma Watson is in an electric blue and black deconstructed design, while Kate Bosworth is wearing a nude ruched dress and carrying an apricot clutch.

And speaking of shoes, Megan Fox says that she loves shoes from the time that she started making real money: "The very first thing I got that was crazy expensive and that I couldn’t believe I'd bought was a pair of Roberto Cavalli four-inch spike heels. They were black and ornate with gold on the back and carving on the heel. They were $600. All I knew up to that point was Skechers, and I think the most I had ever paid for a pair of shoes was $30. That was a really big deal for me, and I have to admit that since then I’ve gone crazy with the shoe thing. That’s where I spend my money, and it’s really bad."

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan shows some modern glamor wearing a stunning bow detailed red gown by Shahab Durazi on the June cover of Verve magazine, while looking like a traditional Indian beauty below:



Here Aishwarya Rai wears a beautiful village girl costume in a still from her hit movie, Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam. Look at her eyes! Those expressive smoldering eyes made Aishwarya a popular model, a Miss World winner in 1994, and one of India's highly-paid actresses. Last year Aishwarya was voted as having the sexiest eyes in a global search for girls with the sexiest body parts.

Aishwarya Rai added the Bachchan to her maiden name after her marriage with actor Abhishek Bachchan in 2007. Now she only has eyes for him and the rumor is that the pretty girl is pregnant! Pictured below, the couple attend the Madame Tussauds & Zaia Cirque Du Soleil Show in Paris:



Although Aishwarya has led a regular love life, meaning relationships with other actors before her marriage, she was described as a "virgin" by the British media during speculation that she might be the next Bond girl in 2004. The confusion over virginity and what it actually means leads to such silly speculation!

On the question of diet and fitness Aishwarya Rai, who is 5'7" tall, says: "I don’t like to eat in public, because people invariably start looking at me. At home, with family and close friends, where I can be myself I let go. The only time I ever worked out and had to diet was for the film Dhoom 2. I had to be 54 kgs and so for a month I was on a strict diet. I have a good metabolic rate and so I really don’t need to work out. But to keep fit and healthy, I am in the gym for a few days in a week."



Three pretty girls take a makeup break in the ladies room before heading out to the red carpet for the premiere of Spring Fever at the 2009 Cannes Film Festival. Elizabeth Banks is in a shimmering midnight-hued sequin gown from Andrew Gn, Eva Longoria-Parker also wears a shimmering gray Versace gown with intricate beading and a swirling train, while Aishwarya Rai dons a blue Elie Saab Spring 2009 Couture gown. All three actresses are spokesmodels for the global makeup brand L'Oréal.

Sara Paxton

Sara Paxton with her dog Jennie, an adorable little Sheltie mix.

The California-born (April 25, 1988) actress also has a Chihuahua puppy named Coco Chanel. Sara Paxton loves animals and also kept a hamster and a turtle as pets: "I used to want to be a vet, but I don't think I could do, like, the whole surgery thing and put animals to sleep and stuff." For two years Paxton starred in the TV show Darcy's Wild Life on Discovery Kids.



Sara Paxton bares her pretty feet for the Boost Mobile Project Beach House photo shoot. Sara has been acting since she was six years old; she auditioned for the role of Lizzy McGuire, which went to Hilary Duff, and later guest starred on that show. Paxton appeared in other teen-based shows and movies and even composed her debut music CD, The Ups and Downs, which may be released in the future. But Sara has released singles like "Here We Go Again", "Temporary", and "Kiss Me Like You Mean It", all of which are available on iTunes.

Sara Paxton also recorded songs for her TV show Darcy's Wild Life and for the hit movie Aquamarine, where she plays a mermaid who befriends two boy-crazy girls played by JoJo and Emma Roberts.

JoJo, Emma Roberts, and Sara Paxton

Apart from her sweet roles, Sara Paxton has played mean or troubled girls in Summerland, The Party Never Stops, and Sydney White with Amanda Bynes. Sara was in the horror flick The Last House on the Left this year, and she will be seen next in the TV show A Beautiful Life with Mischa Barton.

Below left Sara Paxton in a Douglas Kirkland photo shoot, and on right, getting wet in a scene from Aquamarine: "They put these extensions in my hair, that went down to my butt. And they had to put the tail on me. It was really, really fun."



Sara Paxton told Teen Magazine: "People would be surprised to know that I've gone to regular school my whole life and I don't have one friend who is an actor! Actually, I'm really close with my friend Emma Roberts, who I did Aquamarine with, but she’s my neighbor -- so that's why! But besides Emma I don't have friends who are actors. I'm also half Mexican."

Paxton enjoys playing video games and riding bikes but says she's too uncoordinated for sport. Sara still lives with her parents in Woodland Hills, where her Mexican mom is a dentist, and her father is a businessman. On her Mexican heritage Paxton says, "You've seen 'My Big Fat Greek Wedding?' Well, my whole life is like 'My Big Fat Mexican Wedding,' where one side of the family is huge and loves to party, and the other side is very quiet and conservative."

Sara says that her family has given her good moral values, which is why she doesn't get into trouble: "I don't even go to clubs. My family is a really strong influential force in my life and I think it's really important that people stay grounded with their family and friends." Below, Sara Paxton wearing a cute outfit at the Halloween 2008 Party hosted by Marilyn Manson at the Roosevelt Hotel in Hollywood:



Paxton didn't even have a boyfriend till she was 16 and her father still accompanies her to movie and TV shoots: "As I get older....I want to do more stuff by myself and go with my friends more. It's difficult for parents to let go, I guess, especially since I'm the only child, and a girl."

Angelina Jolie power and influence

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt at the 2009 Cannes Film Festival.

Angelina is wearing a nude-toned chiffon gown by Versace, with a very daring thigh-high slit. The power couple were attending the premiere of Quentin Tarantino's new World War II film Inglorious Basterds, starring Brad Pitt, Diane Kruger, and Mike Myers among others. In 2008 Angelina Jolie was number three on the Forbes magazine's annual list of "The Celebrity 100", which ranks celebrities by their financial power and influence in the media.

This year Angelina is number one in the Forbes list! Brad Pitt who was number 10 on last year's list has moved up to 9. According to Forbes: "Earnings estimates, which include income from films, television shows, endorsements, books and other entertainment ventures, are calculated between June 2008 and June 2009......Fame is calculated using Web hits on Google Blog Search, TV/radio mentions on LexisNexis, overall press mentions on Factiva and the number of times a celebrity's image appeared on the cover of 25 consumer magazines."



Angelina Jolie gained her power and influence in this century playing the athletic video game heroine in Lara Croft: Tomb Raider. Jolie also won critical acclaim for her film roles in Girl Interrupted, Gia, and Changeling among others. Angelina's relationship with top male star Brad Pitt added to her power and influence; the couple came to be known as Brangelina and remained in the news for their global humanitarian work and adoption of children from many countries. Their own biological baby together in 2006, Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt, was declared the most influential celebrity baby with magazines paying millions of dollars for her first baby pictures. Jolie gave birth to twins, Knox Léon a boy and Vivienne Marcheline a girl, in 2008. Their baby pictures were the most expensive ever sold at $14 million.

Angelina Jolie uses a third of her earnings to humanitarian work; she was formally appointed a Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. She has been hosted by powerful leaders, met with refugees around the world, and used her influence to push their cause at the World Economic Forum in 2005 and 2006. Just last May, Angelina was invited to observe the trial of Congolese militia leader Thomas Lubanga, charged with using child soldiers to fight his wars, at the International Criminal Court in The Hague, Netherlands.



Not many people know that Angelina is a natural blonde: "My mother dyed my hair dark when I was a child as I loved the look then. So I'm basically a natural blonde." In school Angelina Jolie was teased for her thin body and exotic looks from her mixed ethnicity (Czech, French-Canadian, Iroquois and German). Angelina got in athletic shape for her role as Lara Croft, and did many of her own stunts in those Tomb Raider movies. She keeps changing her diet and fitness plan for her different movie roles; in the upcoming Salt Jolie plays a CIA assassin who is forced to disguise herself as a man. She turned to the very extreme Martha's Vineyard Detox Diet to lose her feminine curves. Angelina started getting tattoos during her troubled teen years; she now has 12 of them and uses makeup to cover them up.

Erica Durance

Pretty brunette Erica Durance plays Lois Lane on the CW's Smallville.



On left Erica Durance wearing a short figure-hugging silver satin gown at Entertainment Weekly's Sixth Annual Pre-Emmy Celebration party last September. On the right Erica in torn jeans and black vest in a promo shoot for Smallville.

The Canadian actress is from Three Hills, a farm town in Alberta but was born (June 21, 1978) about 60 miles northeast in Calgary. Her father Joel was a truck driver and mother Gail worked as a librarian; they also had a turkey farm in Three Hills. "It smelled like crap the whole time, but I got used to it. I had a simple, normal childhood working on the farm," Erica told FHM. After school, Durance moved to Vancouver to start her acting career, with low-budget horror films and guest roles on sci-fi TV shows, before getting Smallville.

Erica Durance is 5'8" and has a curvy figure of 36C-24-35.5; she has been the subject of speculation on the Internet of using surgery to alter her appearance. "I often don't read those things on the internet, because there's too much negativity usually involved in that.....In the gym, on the treadmill, that's where that stuff comes from. This is speaking from a woman's point of view, when you get older, and I'm talking about being 20 to 29, your face completely changes. So, I would like to say to those people that it is natural, and it is hard work, sweat, and having to eat a lot of broccoli," Erica told Buddy TV. On her increasing breast size Durance says it came from exercising her female chest muscles.

In an interview with Howard Stern, Erica Durance revealed that she lost her virginity to her first husband when she was 18. Below Erica in an episode of Smallville preparing to strip off her sailor's uniform. "A friend who’s an exotic dancer trained me. I can’t dance at all—if I ever had to do exotic dancing for real, I’d be booed off stage. I tried to learn the pole moves. I respect strippers—dancing on a stripper pole is very, very hard," Durance told FHM.
