Portia assumed that the eight-cabin ranch would take Ellen years to decorate, but with the help of interior designers Jay Holman and Cliff Fong, Ellen pulled it off in just one! Keep reading to peek inside some of our favorite rooms in their ranch, and see the products we're eyeing to get the look.

Decked out in her formfitting Gucci gown, Katy and John held hands between their individual stints on stage as presenters. Things are going great between John and Katy, and he recently spoke about their romance on CBS Sunday Morning. He said, "For the first time in my life, I don't feel like I'm in a celebrity relationship. I really don't. I'm not in a high-profile — I know it's high-profile. It's hard to explain. . . . For me, it feels like something that's very human."

John walked the red carpet solo earlier in the night, while Katy decided to pose for photos with their mutual friend Allison Williams. Katy was able to catch up with many pals at the show, including Ellen DeGeneres.

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.

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!
