Weight Watchers has launched a new massive ad campaign that says, "Stop Dieting, Start Living." Now call me crazy, but I've always put Weight Watchers in the diet category so I'm confused.

Thanks to a healthy attitude — and a little encouragement from hubby Seal — Heidi Klum is working to get her body back in shape after baby number four. Still, if you're expecting the supermodel to take a turn in the annual Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, you might be surprised to learn that she won't be walking the runway this year, but playing hostess duty instead.
In an interview with US Weekly, it seems this mom is a little more realistic when it comes to shaping up her body after giving birth.

After attending parties and shows at London Fashion Week, Victoria Beckham didn't let her style slip as she headed to Heathrow Airport yesterday. She wasn't in town for dinner with the other four former Spice Girls last week, but Geri Halliwell has revealed she was texting Victoria throughout the evening, and they have all been discussing possibilities. David has had his fair share of speculation about his future career moves, and now the spotlight's on Victoria.
