Jessica Chastain is the furthest thing from a sore loser. Did Laura Dern steal her Best Supporting Actress nomination at the Oscars? Probably. But you could never tell by the look of Jessica’s glowing smile on the Independent Spirit Awards red carpet.
The Biggest Loser host Alison Sweeney covers the latest issue of Health and opens up about her fitness routine, healthy body image, and family life with husband David Sanov and their two kids: son Ben, 10, and daughter Megan, 6.
On body confidence on the show and in life: “We had a contestant this season who said she was going to love herself when she got to her target weight. I almost started to cry. As a mother of a daughter, I couldn’t lose the opportunity to explain that there will always be something. You need to learn to love yourself no matter what your situation is. Body image is an issue very close to my heart.”
On if body image has come up with her daughter yet: “Not yet. She’s so young, but I’ve heard her use words like skinny. Around her, I’m hyperaware of all those habits women have—or, I have—of apologizing for my body. If I’m wearing a bikini, I don’t want to wrap up in a towel or be the first person to point out my faults. I think, ‘I’m just going to wear this bathing suit and play with my kids and not think about it.’ ”
On having negative thoughts: “I struggle with them. There’s something human in that. It’s not that the feelings are wrong. It’s what you do about it that means something. You might say, ‘Oh, my arms’ when you look in the mirror. But if you let it bring you down, you’re allowing that feeling to take over. Acknowledge the thought and let it move on. That’s something you have to practice, and you can get good at it.”

New mom Tila Tequila shared a breastfeeding photo with daughter Isabella, 3 months, on her Facebook page.
“I cherish these moments, and apparently so does my baby girl! She loves her mama’s breasts! Lol! #Breastfeeding #BreastMilk #BreastIsBest #Nursing #Bonding #IsabellaMonroe,” the MTV reality star, 33, captioned the nursing selfie.
In a series of photos, the A Shot at Love With Tila Tequila star shares some precious moments with her beautiful baby girl.
The new mom went on to blog about her post-baby weight loss and fitness journey.
“Everyone keeps asking me how did I lose weight so quickly only 3 months post pregnancy so I’m here to tell you all how I did it!” she writes. “First of all, by no means am I an expert in nutrition nor fitness, but whatever I’m doing is working so I’m pretty sure it will work for you too! It’s very important to STOP EATING JUNK FOOD! That is the #1 rule if you are willing, and determined to shed those pounds! I know it can be extremely difficult to give up junk food (especially if all you’ve been doing is eat, eat, eat for 9 months straight while pregnant), but like I said… If you are truly DETERMINED then you WILL choose a healthier lifestyle vs eating junk!”
The former MTV star announced her pregnancy on Facebook in April, and kept fans updated throughout her nine-month journey.
Tequila (real name Tila Nguyen) wrote candidly about her pregnancy, covering topics such as which gender she was hoping for (a boy), to how she will be raising her daughter as a single mother.

“The only way I can get anything done! Roll my little man all over the house while I clean! @babyhome_social So cozy!!” the 7th Heaven alum, 34, wrote.
Days earlier, Mitchell took her two kids for a walk. “#tbt 2 someday this week! Kenzie loves her skateboard @orbitbaby w/Hutton!” she wrote. “All My favorites @jujube_intl @swellbottle.”
Mitchell and Cameron — who were wed in 2008 — welcomed Hutton on Jan. 28.

Quite a few women came out for the Women In Film Pre-Oscar Cocktail Party last night, but from what I can tell most of the nominees went to the Tom Ford show instead, with the exception of Rosamund Pike. (Technically it was probably possible for them to attend both events, since I spotted Emily Ratajkowski in the same dress at both.) I don’t have an ID for Rosamund’s gown, but it looks like Carolina Herrera to me. Rosamund isn’t loyal to a single designer, she likes to switch it up all the time, so it’s hard to tell. This is an lovely gown with some great details. I love how the flowers kind of bleed into the skirt from the side of the bodice. I’m interested to see what she’ll wear to the Oscars. One complaint: the ruffles on the top need to go. Also this look could use more eye makeup.
Also in need of bolder makeup (that’s just a peeve of mine as I’m a makeup person, no offense to those of you who don’t need it, you lucky bitches) we have Michelle Monaghan in Roksanda. Red Carpet Fashion Awards has a photo of this dress as styled for the runway and it originally had a gold belt. It needs the belt to break up the switch in the pattern from the top to the bottom. There’s no excuse for that switch at the hemline though. The bold lines in this contemporary dress need to seamlessly flow into one another, not change abruptly.
Carmen Ejogo was in a pale v-neck floor length gown with a high leg slit and black side panels. From the front this dress is very Angelina Jolie and sack-like. From the side it’s a little more interesting. In photos, from far away, this looks monotone but there are actually tiny black squares all over the gown. This is how you do red carpet makeup. You may tone down the eyes a bit but you pair them with a bold lip.
Elle Fanning was washed out in a multi-pastel gown featuring layers of ruffled chiffon. She looks like a wood sprite at an Easter ball. Look at her pointy yellow shoes!
Also in the gallery we have photos of Laura Dern (cool pantsuit, bad shoes), Jennifer Hudson (hot but boring), Meryl Streep (comfy), Kate Walsh (beyond fug) and Lake Bell (great little dress).

Everyone is still talking about Kanye West’s crazy radio interview yesterday – go here to read. Kanye confirmed that Kylie Jenner, 17, is dating Tyga, 25. He talked about how Beck actually made a good album. He also threw some major shade at Amber Rose. Amber had been tweeting about Kylie and Tyga, and Kanye responded by saying that there would be no Amber Rose if Kim had agreed to date him when he wanted her. Yeezy also said he had to take “30 showers” after dating Amber before he got with Kim. So, obviously, Amber had to respond on Twitter. You can read her NSFW tweets here – she made a Ray J joke, because of course. Then she tweeted to Kanye:
@kanyewest This is my moment to let the world know who u really are and the things you’ve done to me.
@kanyewest after all these years I never snitched on u and I don’t plan on starting now. We once loved each other so I won’t do u like that.
[From Amber Rose’s Twitter]
I think we’re supposed to believe that Amber Rose has some major dirt on Kanye, but I don’t know, you guys. I just don’t think she really has much more to say. We already know everything. We know Kanye and Kim were fooling around for a lot longer than they would have us believe. We know Kanye is a dirtbag. We know Kim will do anything and anyone for attention.
Meanwhile, Kanye had some words for Fern Mallis. We discussed this yesterday as well – Fern Mallis is the founder of New York Fashion Week and she told the NY Post: “I’m kind of over Kanye. I mean, I’m not a fan of his music, and the attitude and the agenda is not my style.” So Kanye got on Twitter and wrote out a response:
“To Fern Mallis: I just want you to understand that attempting to do clothing has been very difficult and I have encountered countless amounts of bigotry along the way. I have millions of ideas and I represent a new generation just trying to express themselves in a broken world. I don’t call myself a designer as I was not allowed to go to Saint Martins because I was too famous by the time I realized I wanted to design.”
“Fame is often looked down upon in the design world, so it’s actually been something I had to overcome. All we have are our dreams, and you can step on our dreams and ideas all you want, but we won’t stop fighting. We want to innovate and we will win someday. If you wanna have a drink with me, book a table at the spotted pig when I’m back in NY.”
[From Kanye’s Twitter]
He actually did sound pretty calm. But of course, he’s Kanye and celebrities are the new Civil Rights Movement. I guess he’s calling Fern Mallis a bigot because she’s unapologetically “over” him? And poor Kanye, he was too famous to go to fashion school. Kanye really is the most victimized person in the world!!!

Last night’s Tom Ford event in LA had a good showing of fashion girls and A-listers. Into which one of those categories does Miley Cyrus fit? I’ll let you decide. Tom presented pieces from his new collection with celebrities as his models. Miley chose the dress that could have popped out of a fancy Fredericks of Hollywood window. Miley works it with all of her confidence, which is what makes this dress sort of work … for her. Faux corset, lace, and side tush? Check, check, aaand check. This is Miley, so I’m simply happy none of her bits are sticking out. Do you think she should switch up her hairdo? I recently learned that Miley does her own makeup for events. She needs to work on her eyeliner skills.
Elizabeth Olsen looked of her element in this black dress. I’m not a huge fan of all the cutouts this season, especially the weird cutout around the left vadge area on this dress. But this is Tom Ford, so who cares? Lizzie needs some coaching in the posing department, you can tell she’s a little uncomfortable. More important than the dress is the closeup. Elizabeth’s newly brown hair is lovely in tousled waves, and when she smiles, her face really lights up.
Rita Ora thought she was Tom Ford’s new best friend. Does this white suit reflect this status? The jacket is pretty awesome with a flattering, sexy silhouette. The pants look ill-cut and sloppy. Her slicked back hair works well with a suit, but the cat-eye makeup is doing her no favors.
Nicole Richie wore what looks like a leopard printed Halloween costume with black panties showing through for effect. And that pink hair is just awful. Nicole had a few years where she was a real fashionista, but she’s lost her style mojo. This looks like something Snooki would wear to host a Vegas club opening.
Molly Sims went for a sleek and simple black dress. She’s pregnant with her second child, a baby girl. Molly usually doesn’t dress very well (for a model) at fashion events, but she looks beautiful here. I like her piecey updo and rosey makeup.

Doesn’t Scarlett Johansson look fantastic? God. Her body is insane. I never would have guessed that she would snap back like this after having a baby. These are more photos from last night’s shockingly well-attended Tom Ford presentation in LA. All of the ladies wore Tom Ford, obviously. The results were mixed, but I think ScarJo was easily one of the best-dressed of the event. This long-sleeved gold dress is beautifully cut and it looks perfect on ScarJo. Imagine if this was full-length and she had worn it to the Oscars – it would have been amazing. She would have easily been the best dressed of the Oscars. My only complaint is that Scarlett’s hair is SO Miley Cyrus circa 2013. Oh, and Scarlett’s husband Romain looks flat-out ANGRY.
Amy Adams was one of the few ladies wearing a bright color. I don’t mind redheads in red at all, and this red in particular is fine on Amy. I like that she went with a suit (more women should do pantsuits for these events) and my only problem is that the jacket could be cut a bit better.
Joe Manganiello and Sofía Vergara came out to the event for some reason – it’s not like Sofia is known for wearing Tom Ford, you know?
For some reason, we didn’t have any full-length shots of Sam Taylor Johnson and Aaron Taylor Johnson. Oh well! I think we get all of the relevant style information from the fact that they’re wearing MATCHING BLUE VELVET. Honestly though, that’s a terrible skirt. #ALLTHEVELVET
Speaking of velvet, this is what Liberty Ross got to wear. NOPE. Those pants are no bueno.
This doesn’t even look like a Tom Ford dress on Rachel Zoe. It looks like some bargain-basement black dress that she’s trying to pass off as Tom Ford by wearing a new Ford jacket on top.

So many celebrities came out for the Tom Ford pre-Oscars fashion show that we’re splitting them up into several posts this morning. (See Kaiser’s earlier coverage here.) First off is Reese Witherspoon in Tom Ford, and we can assume all of the ladies are wearing Ford. It’s a cute dress for a fashion show and I really like the black oval pattern. I only wish it was fitted more in the waist. She paired it with strappy heels. Reese’s styling is spot on as usual.
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley rocked a bronze boat neck long-sleeve dress with a small square pattern. Like Reese, she’s also wearing strappy heels. This look is incredible on her, she just shines. I’m so glad she’s still with Jason Statham too. I really like them together.
Olivia Munn also wore metallic, but her see-through shirt and peekaboo bra are a little much. She does look incredible, though, and I suppose this isn’t as revealing as we’ve seen from her in the past. Great makeup but her hair is a bit limp.
Fergie looked a bit too plain in a formfitting black dress featuring a boob sling, open back and a high thigh slit. Her hair is slicked back and her makeup is way too muted. This dress looks like one of those convertible dresses that you can style a bunch of different ways depending on how you fold it. (I’ve always been interested in those dresses but never bought one as I’m mechanically challenged.) Hot shoes though.
Faith Hill was in a hot pantsuit with a very slightly open front and small leather and silk details. I really love this pantsuit, it makes her look so tall and lanky. I do with she’d grow her hair out a little though.
