Kelly Rowland plans to “eat, eat, eat” over the festive season.
The ‘Down for Whatever’ singer has been based in the UK while judging pop star search show ‘The X Factor’ in recent months but now the TV series is over, she is looking forward to a family Christmas in the US.
She said: “I’m going to eat, eat, eat. I love to cook so I’ll probably make some sweet potatoes and my mama cooks amazing food.
“I’m just looking forward to spending time doing nothing with the people that I love. My mama has really missed me being around.”
Kelly is particularly looking forward to taking time out to be with the younger members of her family, because they get so excited during the holidays.
She added: “I’ve been so busy this year with my album and ‘The X Factor’ and touring, so it’ll be nice to spend time with my nieces and nephews.”
Kelly will be particularly looking forward to eating over Christmas because she usual sticks to a healthy eating plan and rigorous exercise regime to stay slim.
She previously said: “I work out every other day at least. If you don’t then I don’t think you see the rewards. Even if you can get 30 minutes of cardio in every other day you’ll see a big change in yourself.
“I am a big believer in keeping the body toned and there’s a great diet called the 80/20 diet, which means you make sure 80 per cent of the stuff you eat is good and the other 20 per cent is your choice. It’s great.”

Nicole Scherzinger started counting calories when she was 14.
The X Factor judge says she was aware of her body shape from quite a young age and admits it started take over her life.
She told Shape magazine: “I started jogging and counting calories when I was just 14. I’ve been on every diet you can imagine. By the time I was in the Pussycat Dolls, I was on the scale all the time. It became my enemy because I noticed that when I exercised really hard, I’d gain weight.”
However, the 33-year-old beauty says she’s more relaxed with her diet and doesn’t deny herself anything.
She said: “Now that I’m in my 30s, I’ve stepped off the scale. I just go by how my clothes fit.
“I’m more accepting of my body and have learned to really embrace it. These days it’s all about finding balance. My new motto is: ‘Stay active, eat everything in moderation, and stop being so tough on myself.’ “

Miranda Kerr refuses to deny herself anything.
The Victoria’s Secret model says she has always eaten healthily as she knows it’s very important for her body, but at the same time will allow herself the occasional treat.
The Australian beauty – who has a 10-month-old son, Flynn, with husband Orlando Bloom – said: “My grandparents had a vegetable patch and taught me a lot about growing food and eating organically. I eat super-healthily, lots of vegetables and fish, but that’s not just because I’m a model. It’s to give my body the fuel it needs. And I don’t deny myself anything. Life is about balance, and you have to be able to have some treats now and again – it’s good for you.”
As well as eating healthily, Miranda says she maintain her stunning figure by exercising regularly.
She told Britain’s Hello! Magazine: “I do a lot of yoga, pilates and strength training all year round. I also have a trainer who makes me focus on the butt area, with squats and butt-lifts with leg weights.”

Jessica Alba never weighs herself.
The gorgeous actress gave birth to her second child, Haven, six week ago and while she has dropped some of the baby weight quite easily with some exercise, Jessica doesn’t put herself under any pressure to lose the extra pounds.
She said: “I didn’t gain too much time so that made a difference and I started working out as my doctor said it was fine. I try to be healthy and balanced. I have definitely not lost the baby weight but it’s coming off slowly but surely. I don’t weigh myself. I just see what clothes fit.”
However, despite her exercise regime Jessica admitted she often allows herself a calorific treat every so often, especially when her husband Cash Warren – with whom she also has a three-year-old daughter Honor – orders dessert.
She told Britain’s OK! magazine: “I try not to indulge in super-fattening food but I still have desserts as Cash always orders them and they taste so good. It’s just everything in moderation.”

Anne Hathaway is on an incredibly strict diet and exercise plan for her role as Catwoman in the upcoming Batman film, “The Dark Knight Rises”.
Anne, who’s a devoted vegetarian, is mainly living on a special kind of cabbage in preparation for the scenes where she has to wear Catwoman’s iconic skin-tight Catsuit. Anne told Chelsea Handler on the ‘Chelsea Lately’ show, “I’m a vegetarian and right now, I’m living on kale and dust for the training. That catsuit’s unforgiving, man!” Poor girl..
The actress revealed that the strict training she’s gone through for the film has finally made her enjoy exercise.
Anne said: “Last time I was here we talked about how much I really don’t like working out. I really like it now. I know, that’s like, ugh… that person. Like, I came to LA, got a bikini wax, went blond and love working out. There’s a workout hump where you’re so weak that you hate everything and everything’s painful, and you look like an idiot. Like, the gym that I work out at, I was literally working out next to a pregnant Jessica Alba, and she could do more pushups than I could!” It’s never good to be upstaged like a pregnant lady, although Jessica Alba probably has muscles like Popeye.
Good luck with your dust diet, Anne- hopefully filming won’t last much longer and you can have a big old pizza.

The super-beauty Jessica Alba, who is currently 8 months pregnant with her second baby, is already running up a plan of action for an exercise regime once the baby is born.
The new body-blitz regime will include a daily 45 minute workout session combined with a calorie limit of 1,200 calories daily. It’s times like this we don’t envy the stars – after having a baby us normal people can stay as fat as we like.
Poor Jessica has admitted that working out is not her idea of fun at all, saying, “Getting dressed and actually doing it is the worst. It’s hard to get motivated. In the gym, I have like five things to distract me: TV, iPod, magazines. Working partners are good, too, so you can chat and not just drown in your own misery. Sorry, does that sound bad? I just hate working out.” So do we, Jess, so do we!
So it’s good to know that she is planning to make the most of the end of her pregnancy before the gruelling workout and diet plan begins. If I was her, I’d be eating from Dominos in the meanwhile at least once a day.

Anne Hathaway has a “sweet tooth” – but will only eat vegan cakes.
The 28-year-old actress is a committed vegetarian and although she loves baked treats she won’t let any doughy delights pass her lips which have been made from animal products.
She said: “I’m a vegetarian but I have a sweet tooth, so I go to this wonderful bakery in New York called BabyCakes. It makes amazing vegan cakes, which are gluten free and often sugar free, egg free and dairy free. The vegan apple pie is incredible – it’s my favourite dish.”
Anne also likes to get her hands dirty in the kitchen herself and often creates the cakes from the bakery at home.
She added: “I’ve got a cookbook from there and I’ve made just about everything in it. I’m an awesome baker – I’ll give myself credit for that.”
The ‘Love and Other Drugs’ star enjoys cooking and is willing to try and prepare any meal, and her inspiration is TV chef Nigella Lawson.
She said: “I love Nigella she’s so passionate and loves cooking, which is very inspiring, but she’s very entertaining too – in a good way. Am I a domestic goddess? No, I’m a horror, but luckily, I have very hungry friends who will try out anything I concoct.”

Megan Fox believes treating herself on the weekend is the secret to her stunning figure.
The beautiful actress – who is often voted one of the world’s most sexiest women – recently gained 4lbs and sources say she’s happier than ever because she’s got some of her curves back.
One told Now magazine: “Megan’s relaxed her strict diet and has been treating herself at the weekends. On weekdays she sticks to protein with salad and veg.”
As well as following a healthy diet, Megan also works out with husband Brian Austin Greene.
The source added: “He’s always worked out – and he got Meg into it. She does cardio and weights twice weekly but focuses on yoga and Pilates, which she loves.”
While Megan, 25, is happy with her body, she has previously admitted she hates showing it off by wearing attention-seeking clothes
She said: “If you wear anything interesting, you become instantly noticeable. I have this gorgeous Dolce and Gabbana white trench coat for winter, but I can’t wear it without drawing attention to myself. And I try to hide. I want to be unseen.”

Jennifer Aniston stays slim by avoiding junk food.
The ‘Horrible Bosses’ star insists she doesn’t stick to a strict diet to maintain her stunning figure and just limits her intake of fatty meals.
She said: “I’ve never been a fanatic when it comes to what I eat. I’ve always discovered that I can stay fit by avoiding junk foods and eating healthily, while running or exercising regularly. I don’t have any formula.”
The 42-year-old actress’ favourite exercise is yoga and she works out every day because she feels more energetic after working out.
She revealed to new! magazine: “I love to do yoga. I have more energy if I can do workout for 20 minutes every day. If I exercise enough I can eat what I want and not worry about my weight or how I look.
If I put on a few pounds, I just eat more fish and salads for a week and exercise four or five times a week as opposed to two or three times.
The important thing is to stick to a healthy routine. I feel better after a good workout and it gives you more energy for the entire day. I try not to worry or stress about things anymore ¬ I just like to get on with my life.”

Kim Kardashian is planning a “wedding slim down”.
The 30-year-old socialite – who will marry basketball star Kris Humphries later this summer – revealed she will start using weight loss supplement QuickTrim again, on which she has previously lost 15lbs, in order to get in shape for her nuptials.
When one of Kim’s twitter followers tweeted her yesterday saying, “On my way to GNC to buy some quicktrim”, Kim responded by writing, “Take some for me! I’m about to start again! Wedding slimdown (sic)”
Kim has also been beautifying herself ahead of the big day by using at home skin care and hair removal treatments from TRIA Beauty.
She tweeted: “I have been using the new @TRIABeauty Laser since they first sent it to me to try & now I’m fully ready for summer!”
Although Kim has not announced the date of her wedding, the reality TV star and her fiance – who proposed with a 20.5 carat Lorraine Schwartz diamond ring – are said to be eager to tie the knot as soon as possible.
A source said: “The wedding will happen within six to eight weeks.
“The wedding shower will take place about a month from now. They’re doing things very, very quickly. It’s being fast-tracked.”

One of Pippa Middleton’s favourite designers hopes to see the royal family wearing more of her designs.
Duchess Catherine’s sister wore a pair of Aruna Seth silver sandals with her green Alice Temperley gown to her sibling’s wedding reception and Aruna hopes Pippa will influence other members of the royal family to follow in her footsteps.
She told vogue.co.uk: “We’d love to see more of the royal family at all their social events in Aruna Seth shoes.
“The royal family have to wear classic outfits because their photographs are remembered forever, and we design our shoes to be classics with longevity. We loved Princess Beatrice’s Philip Treacy hat at the royal wedding and her dusty pink Valentino couture outfit looked divine. We’d love to see more A-list celebrities wearing Aruna Seth at the Oscars next year and we’ll certainly be sending out extra pairs of our shoes over to LA in preparation for all the awards ceremonies.”
With the royals’ emphasis on classic couture, Aruna is hopeful her company’s latest collection in neutral shades will be exactly what they are looking for.
She added: “This summer we’ve tried to focus on neutral colours, many of the shoes are nude and tan toned with the idea the shoes can be easily matched with many outfits and are a classic design.
“We still have some sparkly shoes in the collection, for example our silver Lynn Swarovski butterfly sandals.”

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley is obsessed with junk food.
The Victoria’s Secret model – who is famed for her curvaceous figure – is missing British cuisine since relocating to the US and loves eating things which are “really, really bad” for her.
She told Maxim magazine: “I love eating really, really bad things, like roast dinners and chocolate bread and butter pudding.
“It’s my soul, England. I miss the people, the culture, the food.
“I find it strange that people say English food is bad. To me, it’s delicious. I’ve never really considered it but I was thinking the other day that maybe it’s strange to have beans on toast for breakfast.”
Although the stunning 24-year-old beauty has never worried about her weight she has previously revealed she was advised to work out if she wanted to succeed in her chosen career.
She said: “I can’t remember a time where I really battled with my body, but I can remember being asked to lose weight and battling with the advice.
“It hurt me. Especially as my baby fat naturally melted away as I got older.
“When I started out, I was definitely heavier. I was quite voluptuous in fact. I had a real baby face and baby fat.
“But I was a baby! I was told I had to get into better shape, but I’m quite stubborn so I didn’t.”

Fergie struggles to have the “discipline” to eat healthily all the time.
The Black Eyed Peas singer gets all her food and drinks delivered to the home she shares with husband Josh Duhamel but can’t resist tucking into her favourite junk foods whenever she has the opportunity.
She said: “I have a meal-delivery service; Diet Designs. They’re amazing – they’ll have butter lettuce and avocado and pink grapefruit. They do butternut-squash enchiladas, which are really good. I also get these pressed juices delivered to my house, so I get all these different and wonderful vegetables. My problem is my discipline. I see a Jack in the Box or a Del Taco, and I will impulsively want it. I’m a work in progress in that area.”
The 36-year-old star maintains her figure with strenuous work outs – but admits she has to wear two sports bras in order to keep her assets under control.
She told Allure magazine: “I do cardio and resistance training. I’m getting more into jump rope now.”
Explaining her double underwear trick, she added: “For your shoulders, if you have breasts. There’s a lot of … waving.”
The ‘My Humps’ hitmaker also revealed she has learned to appreciate her “unique” nose, and no longer resents the fact it is less-than-perfect.
She added: “I’ve learned to love my nose because it’s unique. It’s interesting, and it just makes me a little different.”
