Kiira Korpi from Finland

Pretty Kiira Korpi is a champion figure skater from Finland.



Kiira Korpi turned 22 on September 26, and just a day earlier got herself a great birthday gift. Kiira skated to victory at the Nebelhorn Trophy in Oberstdorf, Germany on Saturday, after winning the silver last year. Korpi chose 'Evita' for her new long program. Like in the short, she downgraded her planned triple toe-triple toe to a double-triple, then she popped the Lutz and later doubled a flip. The choreography was done by David Wilson and he will come to Finlandia Trophy and polish the program with Kiira. "At first I was a little afraid, because everybody knows Evita," Korpi confessed, "but this is a strong, emotional and powerful music, and more dramatic than the short program. I like to have a different mood."



Kiira's father Rauno Korpi played ice hockey and coached the women's hockey team of Finland to a bronze medal at the 1998 Olympic Games in Nagano, Japan. Kiira Korpi became a figure skater at the age of four, although she was also enthusiastic about gymnastics, which she gave up to focus on skating. Her older sister Petra Korpi was also a competitive figure skater until she suffered a hamstring injury, which never healed completely. The sisters are close and Petra says, "I have handled Kiira’s fanmail on the time I have from my studies, and we have even talked about starting a business together, but that’s not current until Kiira’s skating career is over and I have graduated."

Kiira Korpi is 5'6" tall with a slim figure, and she eats healthy: "I eat typical food for athletes: versatile and healthy home food, lots of vegetables and fruits. I don't keep any specific nutrient diary. I prefer eating often rather than larger portions more seldom. The most important thing is to not gain any excess weight."

That was the time when flights to Finland were canceled due to the volcanic ash cloud from Iceland, and Kiira was stranded in South Korea for a week. To pass the time, the cute figure skater got to throw a ball before a baseball match between the Doosan Bears and SK Wyverns at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul. Kiira Korpi's slim figure and fitness comes from her own sport, and other fun activities like rollerblading and snow boarding. She also does running and yoga as part of her fitness schedule.

Of course, she said not a word about her relationship with soccer star Christiano Ronaldo, though they have been spotted attending soccer and basketball games together.

Kristin Kreuk private

Pretty actress Kristin Kreuk with Dublin, her French bulldog.

The Dutch-Chinese Kristen Kreuk grew up in Canada and got her first TV role in Edgemont while she was studying in her Vancouver high school. Kreuk also played Lana Lang on the hit TV show Smallville. She grew up learning Karate and doing gymnastics, and now keeps in shape with yoga and walking.

The actress is very passionate about energy conservation and sustainable living, telling BC Hydro that she keeps her showers short, turns off unnecessary lights and has replaced incandescent light bulbs with energy efficient CFLs or LEDs. Kristin Kreuk's favorite green thing, which also keeps her fit, is to walk instead of drive in her home city of Vancouver. "I live in such a beautiful city with so much greenery that after my travels I now realize is so incredibly rare and precious."



Kristin Kreuk poses for Men's Fitness magazine. She is intensely private about her personal life and says, "I'm much more interested in developing deep relationships with people than anything else. Physicality is not necessarily an aspect of that. In fact, it's completely irrelevant."



According to Kristin Kreuk a perfect date should have just three simple things: "great conversation, laughter, and a glass of wine."

Demi Lovato revelations

There will be no more revelations by cute singer and actress Demi Lovato on her Twitter account as she is quitting the micro-blogging site.

Making fresh revelations about her school days on CNN, Demi Lovato, who is the spokesperson of TeensAgainstBullying.org, said that her bullying experience was so bad that she actually quit school so she could be home-schooled. Demi, who turned 18 last month, says that even with all her success it still affects her today, and bullying has to end because not everyone has an escape route like her. "I had a different lifestyle than everyone else. I want to help with bullying, because there are girls who can't just up and home-school and focus on their career." Lovato takes her stand against bullying on the new season of America's Next Top Model.

Yvonne Strahovski coming soon

Pretty actress Yvonne Strahovski is coming soon to TV screens this month in Season Four of her show Chuck.



Yvonne Strahovski's bikini body and tough girl antics draw many viewers to the show. In an interview with SN Mag Yvonne said, "I like to do the stunts. It’s one of my favorite parts of the show. I grew up pretty athletic and was always sort of a tomboy. I was a dancer as well, so to me it’s kind of like learning a dance routine. We get to do some pretty cool stuff, and I do have to maintain a certain level of fitness. I’ll hike and try to do some exercise here and there when I have time and we’re not shooting so many hours a week."



Yvonne Strahovski looks pretty with her hair in loose waves, dressed in a figure hugging blue dress, with nude peep-toes, a Mulberry clutch and Carla Amorim gold ring at the 8th Annual BAFTA/LA TV Tea Party on August 28, 2010 in Century City, California.

Jessica Alba Machete promotion

Jessica Alba on the Late Show with David Letterman promoting her latest flick Machete, in theaters on September 3. Jessica is wearing a cute babydoll dress from the Marc Jacobs Spring 2010 collection.

In further promotion for the action movie, Jessica Alba attends the Venice Film Festival on Aug 31, in a floral print Dolce & Gabbana Fall 2010 dress sharply contrasted with edgy Michael Kors buckled gladiator heels.

In an interview with the September 2010 issue of Cosmopolitan, Jessica Alba talked of her taste in clothes for the red carpet: "I love bold statements, but make sure you're wearing the clothes instead of the clothes wearing you. Steer clear of bedazzling, tattoo prints, and anything where the brand is the focal point of the clothing. You don't want to look like a billboard." That's exactly what happened with Jessica at Venice; the dress is pretty enough but the contrast with the heels does not work. Clear case of clothes wearing her!



A leather clad Alba in Cosmopolitan: IAN Blouse, Just Cavalli skirt, Dean Harris chain necklace, and a Chan Luu pendant. Jessica told USA Today that she is challenging stereotypes and seeking variety in her movie roles: "I love the variety of working on an action movie like Machete, doing The Killer Inside Me (with Casey Affleck) and then doing Little Fockers (Ben Stiller comedy, due at Christmas). I've had the most fun I've ever had, so as long as I can continue to do this kind of stuff, it's my dream."
