Have you been lying awake at night wondering how Jessica Alba will get thin again after giving birth to baby number 2 this month? Well: “I have a hard time with portion control, so I have 1,200 calorie meals delivered,” she tells Lucky magazine. “But I also work out, so basically I’m starving. It sucks. I drink a lot of water.” Jess also says: “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.” On the one hand, what the hell is wrong with our society that women have to starve to be considered attractive and land magazine covers and cosmetic ad campaigns? On the other hand: At least she admits that it fucking sucks?

One final word from Jessica Alba: “I really can’t imagine having more [kids] than this — more than what’s happening right now… Kids are a lot of work and at the end of a pregnancy, it’s sort of like you can’t really imagine having more. But we’ll see.” [Just Jared]

Kendra Wilkinson is not a fan of Hef‘s ex-fiancée, Crystal Harris. “Look, she agreed to get married to him!” she says. “When I was with Hef, he knew that we were friends. I knew that we were friends, but [Crystal] said she wanted to get married and then backstabbed him to that level? That’s like cruel.” Kendra also says: “I don’t think this one [twenty-something] year old girl is going to get in the way of Hugh Hefner. He’s dealt with other problems, and I don’t think he’s running low on hoes!” New slogan, y’all. [Us Magazine]

- “From all evidence, the object that occupied center stage at Nassau rarely sang (at least not live, or without audio helper). It didn’t move with any more animation or engagement than a well-oiled robot. And it didn’t project much in the way of personality. Mainly, it just mouthed the words, pantomimed the dance routines, and dutifully zombied its way through a show heavy on theatrical effects but woefully light on drama.” — from a review of Britney Spears‘s recent concert.
