Liz Hurley's Hot Body:  UK Magazine New Woman polled 5,000 readers on whose body they'd love to live in. Liz Hurley's curves came out on top, with gorgeous non-twig Kate Winslet was number six and Helen Mirren's sexy-after-60 body comes in at 15. A poll on their site shows that 68 percent of readers are mostly happy with their own bodies. Who knew that there was this wellspring of healthy body images across the pond?

Reverse Psychology:  Retailers manipulate consumers by making them feel like the unpopular kids in high school; by playing exclusion tricks--like giving a better deal to men over women, or charging more for plus size versions of smaller size clothing--we gladly fork over the plastic faster than if they didn't tantalize us. Wow, is our face red. Buyer beware!

Tyra Banks Loves Ribs:  Plus-size model Diana was eliminated from this week's America's Next Top Model, reaffirming claims from boyish Renne that anyone over 120 pounds isn't a real model. We're rooting for Whitney, the one curvy girl remaining amidst a house full of painfully thin drama queens.

American Idol Hardbodies:  It was a bad week for chubby contestants of reality shows, as Chris Sligh was voted off American Idol. Did Sanjaya's badly tilting fauxhawk trump Sligh's 'fro?

From Chris Sligh to Kelly Clarkson's Thighs:  We don't know what's more sad: the fact that Kelly Clarkson is on vacation in Hawaii and feels the need to walk around in a muumuu, or the fact that the second she shows an inch of skin, the paparazzi are there to cast judgment about the size of her thighs.

Mini Me:  Sorry, Proenza Schouler, we normally love your designs to death, but airing out your lady bits for the sake of fashion is a serious "Don't." But if you dare to bare anyway, here are some exercise tips for thighs to go with the look.

James Blunt, Eat Your Heart Out:  Just when you are tired of reading a million tired ads about things you need to fix, the world reminds you that you are beautiful.

I'd love to go all Patton on my winter-limp quads, but I have a hell of a time trying to get myself motivated to exercise. I don't find gyms as fun as dancing at a club with my friends or playing a round of golf, so I end up talking myself out of it, which is exactly the difference between myself and the boys. A brisk walk is nice, but in these northern climes, a quick stroll with the iPod cranking out the Timberlake quickly turns into a slip and slide. Not quite the way to bring sexy back.

Apparently, someone has finally figured out that men and women lose weight differently.

We don't think this is news to anyone. Jared Fogle lost a significant amount of weight eating two meals with chips at Subway, and when we went on the Subway diet, we were starving and ended up gaining weight with all of those bready carbs. Our college boyfriends lost it by only ordering two dozen rather than four dozen Buffalo wings every night at the local pub. Ugh.

As if we didn't already know that vitamins were important, if you don't get enough Vitamin B1 you get stupid.

We've always wondered what "detoxifying" really meant! Maybe next month, they can explain what "neutroceuticals" are. Right now, we're thinking that maybe they are teeny tiny robots.

Most celebrities (even Mandy Moore) can't fit into fashion designer samples, which is something to remember next time you feel bad about not being able to squeeze into a Marc Jacobs mini.

We love, love, love Gossip rocker Beth Ditto, but wish we could have run interference before she started smacking on gossip blogger Perez Hilton at SXSW. We hope someone had the good sense to have Purell in that cute purse for after.

I'm throwing around the word "chef" a little loosely, because really, it seems as though Nigella is just showing you how to slap dash a few things together. She never measures things. She never washes her hands. I really wouldn't want to eat at Nigella's house, but damn if I don't want her to cook for me, as long as I can watch. Because you know that she'd give you the frosting beaters to lick clean.

Taylor Hicks, the creepy, your-drunk-dad-singing-at-a-wedding winner of last year's American Idol, continues the trend Reuben started, and drops 22 pounds. "Am I hot now?" he says. "How about now? No? How about now?"

People! Did you not listen to your parents? Don't date that boy with the motorcycle and the syphilis, and eat your goddamn veggies.

Size zero vs. size 18: the cage match. We know who would win in a hand-to-hand fight. But who wins when two women on opposite sides of the size spectrum defend their bodies? Also, when did we have to start defending our bodies?

Weight loss for grown up ladies--because grown-up ladies know that dessert is a right, and not a privilege.

Mo Pie nails exactly what it's like to be fat and hate yourself, to be fat and not hate yourself, to lose weight, and wonder how to reconcile that with who you used to be.

The amazing Pasta Queen kicks all kinds of ass, losing 186 pounds, and lands a well-deserved book deal. High five, man.

Beth is a celebrity journalist, and told to fit her ass on an 8.5 x 11-inch sheet of paper in order to watch fashion shows full of models you could pick your teeth with. She has not killed anyone yet, and she is our hero.

Nicole has discovered the sure-fire secret success plan for making you want to get your ass to the gym. But you're not going to like it.

It's makeover week! Tyra herds them into the salon to torture them in the name of modeling. They emerge looking broke-ass, but Tyra believes in her vision. Why wouldn't she? She's Tyra Banks, Supermodel! And she will never, ever, ever let you forget it. Jael, still looking kind of homeless and a little cracked out, gets news from the street that a friend has died of an overdose, while Brittany's Giant Weave hurts like a motherfucker. She bucks up, though, and wins the challenge and the prize--a spread in Seventeen. Sweet.

Science proves that men like the ladies with the curvy badonkadonks, and they cannot lie. We knew we liked science.

First Spain bans too-skinny models from the runway, and now they're putting their foot down on too-skinny mannequins. Women all over Spain say ¡Salud! and down some tapas.

Research shows that fit women are more likely to have fit babies. Does that mean no more ice cream with our pickles?

Remember the President's Fitness Challenge in grade school? Here's a way to disappoint the president in the privacy of your own home, and maybe motivate yourself into sit ups, slacker.

It turns out that Olympians don't get to eat donuts every day. What the hell's the point of being an Olympian, then?

Thin and Back Again:  Not every celebrity is wasting away to nothing. Some former members of the Lollipop Guild have eased back into the land of the living. Without a doubt, Kelly Ripa needs those curves! Maybe Regis can do an intervention if she starts disappearing again.

At Risk for Ana Behavior:  This study is the first to prove that eating disorders can be prevented in groups with high-risk behavior. Since 1 in every 200 girls who display anorexic behavior will die from the disorder, this is a huge step in prevention. Go, science, go!

Scales Belong on a fish!  Tired of trash-talking your hips? If you make friends with your body, think of all the closet space you'll have if you don't have to store thin jeans and fatty pants.

Woman Arrested for Wearing Crocs:  This crazy (or very brave?) woman was stopped by border officials for looking "strangely fat." Turns out that her odd cellulite formations were actually three live crocodiles.
