Jessica Simpson Talks Shop, Body Shop That Is
We've all been watching as Jessica Simpson tones up using the 5 Factor and she looks great!
We're used to Jessica saying some off the wall things (chicken of the sea anyone?), People.com got the scoop on her recent interview with Harper's Bazaar where she seems to be making perfect sense:
On her butt: One thing that has changed is her body, as she prepares to join the Marines in her upcoming movie, Major Movie Star. "I've started with a trainer, Harley Pasternak," she says.
Get the Bod: Katherine Heigl
Now that "Grey's Anatomy" is on break, we're getting our fix of the doctors in other ways. Katherine Heigl (aka Izzie Stevenson) has been promoting her new flick Knocked Up and apparently a rather revealing love scene was just the motivation Heigl needed to hit the gym (not that she really needed to, aesthetically).
People.com got the scoop from her trainer, Harley Pasternak, on what she did (and still does) to tone up her bod.
Mandy Moore and 5-Factor Fitness
According to Life and Style, Mandy Moore has joined the 5-Factor Fitness team, coached by diet and fitness guru Harley Pasternak. Her teammates include: Eva Mendes, Alicia Keyes, Halle Berry, Kanye West and Vanessa Williams. Zach Braff is on Pasternak's client list too, so it seems like something good that she kept from their relationship.
