We're happy to present this excerpt from one of our favorite sites, YourTango. Today we're gleaning some wisdom on love from America's most iconic advice columnist.

For some, childbirth is a lovely miracle. For others, it's just down right scary. It's definitely the latter for actress Kristen Bell.

The star, who is pregnant with fiancé Dax Shepard, appeared on Ellen this week (and it will air Thursday) and opened up about how she believes she'll feel on her way to the hospital come Spring.

"I feel like, when I arrive at the hospital, I want a glass of whiskey, I want the epidural in my back and I want to get hit in the face with a baseball bat and wake me up when it's over," she said to the talk show host. "I've seen the videos — and it looks terrifying!"

Promoting her upcoming film The Lifeguard at Sundance last week, the star also told Entertainment Weekly that she's not sure if she's prepared for the changes to her body and her life. "This is without question the biggest transition I'll make in my life to date."

The Sundance Film Festival shows no signs of slowing on the Winter style front, as celebrities continue to flock to Park City, UT, to showcase their latest projects. With the freezing-cold temperatures in mind, celebs have skipped their usual dress routines for something a little more covered up — but just as cool. Costars Dakota Fanning and Elizabeth Olsen induced major coat envy working different, but equally chic toppers, over their black-and-white pairings, while trendsetters like Jessica Alba, Kate Bosworth, and Naomi Watts showcased note-worthy looks of their own. As for the rest, it was a perfect mix of cable-knit staples, vintage-inspired denim, and cool-girl boots — in short, Winter pieces that prove that bundling up doesn't have to mean covering up great style. Click on to see even more of Sundance's most stylish celeb appearances — and come back often for updates!

Celebrity Women Get Real About Body Image Issues

She may have won two Golden Globes last weekend for her HBO series, Girls, but lately the most-talked about topic in regards to writer, filmmaker, and actress Lena Dunham has been her weight, not her talent.
by

She may have won two Golden Globes last weekend for her HBO series, Girls, but lately the most-talked about topic in regards to writer, filmmaker, and actress Lena Dunham has been her weight, not her talent. Radio host Howard Stern is in hot water for calling Lena a "little fat chick." And while Lena told David Letterman last week that the comments "put me in the best mood," the 26-year-old has been honest that she's had a love-hate relationship with her body, despite displaying it so freely on her show. She told New York Magazine:

"It's a very specific body. Even great reviews will be like: chubby, portly, overweight. . . . Sometimes I'm like, 'Ugh, how did I make myself the guinea pig for this?' But on the other hand, hating my body has not been my cross to bear in this life. Which I feel very lucky about."

Several famous women have opened up about their struggles with body image and eating disorders. Katie Couric revealed on her talk show that she struggled with bulimia when interviewing another famous lady who's dealt with eating disorders, Demi Lovato. And Lady Gaga, who has faced criticism about her weight gain, launched a movement called A Body Revolution to encourage body acceptance. She said she started it to "inspire bravery," adding, "Be brave and celebrate with us your 'perceived flaws,' as society tells us. May we make our flaws famous, and thus redefine the heinous."

Many celebrity women have courageously talked about what they don't like about their bodies, their past eating disorder issues, and how they've overcome a negative body image. Let's be inspired to accept our bodies just how they are with these encouraging words now!
