The Latest in Celebrity Fashion, Beauty and Fitness

Christina Applegate was named People’s Most Beautiful Person of the Year, she’s really come into her own over the past few years with her new career on the show Samantha Who? and her public battle with breast cancer.

Here are some beauty tips and secrets from the year’s most beautiful woman:

What’s you favorite splurge?
One is this shower gel called COMO Shambhala. It smells like eucalyptus and makes me pretend I’m in a spa!

The best trick you’ve learned from the Samantha Who? hairstylist is…
Don’t be afraid of leave-in-conditioner! I use this stuff called It’s a 10. It’s totally cheesy-looking, but it’s a miracle product and smells good.

Spray tan, self tan or no tan?
Suntan. I know you’re not supposed to, but I’d rather have it from the gods than some kind of funky thing that streaks you and then your feet are white and your ankles are orange.

How do you deal with bags under you eyes?
I was born looking like I hadn’t slept in 10 years, so there’s not a lot I can do! But there are these eye pads (Angels Makeup Intensive Collagen Treatment) that the girls and I on the show put under out eyes every morning.

Even celebrities have bad hair days, case in point: Drew Barrymore at the Golden Globes – she looked frizzed out and the dark roots were not helping. I’m not sure what’s up with her new look?

While Drew isn’t talking about her hair faux-paux, other celebs are talking about theirs.

Debi Mazar

I’ve had a crew cut, dyed my hair red, white and blue, and I’ve had it very, very blonde. But my most embarrassing moment was with makeup; One time on a subway I had very colorful makeup on and thought I looked beautiful and this kids was like, “Mommy, there’s a clown on the train!”

Hayden Panetierre

When I was doing Ice Princess they sent me to a colorist. She put peroxide bleach right onto my scalp. I said “Is this supposed to burn this badly? I’m about to cry”. She said, “Oh, it’s normal”. Yeah! It’s not normal.

Christina Applegate

At one point I had blakc-and-red hair. Then I decided I wanted to be blonde, so a girlfriend [bleached it] and it all fell out!

Christina Hendricks

I was pink-rock in high school and had a long purple Mowhawk. There are very few pictures of it because my Mom did not want to record that it ever happened.

Jenna Fischer

When I was little of was naturally blonde, but as I got older my hair turned darker. My mom wanted me to still be blonde so she put SunIn in my hair. It turned this really ugly orange, I had it for like three years!

Samantha Who star Christina Applegate revealed some of her favorite very expensive beauty products to InStyle magazine:

It’s a 10 leave in Conditioner ($18) I use this too
La Mer Face Cream ($125 and up)
Mac Tinted Lip Conditioners ($14.50)
Child Perfume Extremely Rich body Cream ($86)

No wonder she looks so good!

Celebrities are doing all sorts of workouts to stay fit this summer! Reese Witherspoon, pictured above, enjoys Yoga every morning. Jennifer Aniston is also a Yoga fanatic, saying her arms have become more strong and her legs more lean from her regular Yoga sessions. Celebrity fitness trainer Stephen Bauer says you can burn 200 – 250 calories depending on the intensity of the class.

Pilates is a more intense form of Yoga, burning 250 calories per hour. Celebs like Denise Richards, Hillary Duff, Danica Patrick, and Natasha Bedingfield owe their fabulous figures to Pilates. Denis claims her Pilates sessions made her drop two jean sizes in four months!

Kelly Ripa and DWTS’s Marissa Jaret Winokur practice Ballet to sty in shape. Kelly practices ballet barre class at Physique NYC while Melissa practices Cardio Barre (a cardio-ballet mix) which helped her lose 52 pounds! Expect to burn about 350 calories an hour practicing ballet.

Another celebs choose to get their rage out while getting in shape with Boxing classes. Sienna Miller has started boxing to train for her movie G.I. Joe, “I’ve got some muscles. I’ve started taking boxing lessons.” Lindsay Lohan and model Miranda Kerr also choose boxing classes to stay in tip-top shape. Believe it or not boxing burns about 400 calories per hour!

For more intense, serious fitness junkies- celebs are going to boot camp! Katie Holmes and Christina Applegate are fans of Barry’s Bootcamp in LA, where they combine 30 minutes each of sprint intervals and toning moves. You must be in decent shape before taking this class since it’s so intense – expect to burn a whopping 800 – 1,000 calories per hour.
