Gwyneth Paltrow was declared ‘World’s Most Beautiful Woman’ by People Magazine – let’s hear their explanation:

She may be PEOPLE's 2013 Most Beautiful Woman but Gwyneth Paltrow insists her kids, Apple, 8, and Moses, 7, don't see her as anything but mom.

"Around the house, I'm in jeans and a T-shirt. I don't really wear makeup. That's what they're used to," she says. As for her husband, Chris Martin, "He'll make a joke about it. If I've gotten fully dressed up, he'll be like, 'Oh, wow! You're Gwyneth Paltrow!' Because he's used to seeing me in like baggy shorts and frizzy hair."

And Paltrow wouldn't have it any other way. With her second cookbook, It's All Good, debuting at No. 1 on the New York Times bestseller list and her next film, Iron Man 3, hitting theaters on May 3, Paltrow credits her workout routine for keeping her looking youthful and less tired.

"It makes me look younger and feel strong," says the actress, who does the Tracy Anderson Method five days a week. "When I first started, I thought, 'I'll never be good at this. This is a nightmare!' But now it's like brushing my teeth, I just do it."

More importantly, she hopes to instill a good body image in both her kids, especially now that her daughter is starting to become interested in things like makeup. "When we're home sometimes, she'll put on mascara. And sometimes I'll let her wear something out to dinner – but just a little dab," she says.

"Also having a father who adores you the way that he adores her is very good for your body image. The more we can love her and let her be who she is, the more confident she'll feel."

Quite an interesting choice, considering that Gwyneth was recently selected by Star Magazine as ‘The Most Hated Celebrity’!

Lauren Graham: “I’ve been on a diet for 35 years”

Lauren Graham: Ive been on a diet for 35 years | lauren graham celebrity quotes

From Us Magazine:

Since the age of 11, Parenthood’s Lauren Graham has been watching what she eats. “I’ve been on a diet for 35 years,” the 46-year-old TV star reveals in the May issue of More.

As the years have gone, however, Graham has learned to love her appearance. “I’ve spent a lot of time wondering, ‘What’s going to happen?’” she says of getting older. “I try not to allow myself to do that much anymore. I think I’ve gotten more comfortable with the unknown.”

“Acting is the most bizarre profession. You can stay in it for years and not really be in it and be waiting for someone to give you an opportunity,” Graham explains. “It’s like when I watch American Idol and see people who have been told to believe in themselves at all costs: It’s not always a good idea.”

… says 46 year-old Lauren.

One of the most hated British columnists, Samantha Brick, recently said that any self-respecting woman should be on a diet all her life.

New Mom Shakira Talks Pregnancy Weight | shakira celebrity quotes

On pregnancy and weight gain:

"I mean, I guess our mothers and grandmothers weren't under the pressure that women of today are after delivering a baby. My dad says that there's nothing better than a little meat on the bone! He likes my mom a little chubby. So she was never under the pressure to get back to her old weight, and she never did, actually! But it's different, I have a career, and that's the only part that's been a bit stressful because I knew that I'd have to come back here to do 'The Voice' two months after I delivered a baby. I didn't have my four months maternity like every woman on earth has. So I'm not trying to complain, but it's been a process full of challenges in my life. I'm still a few pounds over! Zumba has been pretty great for me even during pregnancy. I did it almost until the end."

… says 36 year-old Shakira, who gave birth 3 months ago.
