A Healthy Bite: Maureen McCormick, aka Marcia Brady

FitSugar — Mon, 29 Mar 2010 15:00:17 PDT

"I was actually losing about a pound a week which was really wonderful. It was a really nice, and good, and healthy way to do it. And I still got to eat my chocolate every day which was wonderful, although I haven't had a drink in a really, really, really long time. I love being outside and working out, and I sometimes jog with my husband, and sometimes I jog with one of my daughter's best friends, and it's incredible. I was able to do Pilates for the first time in my life, which is almost better than sex. Not quite, but almost."

- Maureen McCormick - you know, the actress who used to play Marcia Brady on The Brady Bunch - revealed to People magazine how she achieved her lean new look without giving up on her indulgences. In her teens, the actress struggled with bulimia and cocaine addiction. Then in 2005, at age 50, Maureen turned toward food to cope with the death of her mom, the distant relationship she had with her father, and her brother, Dennis, being put in a home for people with mental disabilities. After years of dealing with extra pounds, Maureen joined the cast of the fifth season of VH1's Celebrity Fit Club in 2007. After a lot of hard work and a healthy attitude, she looks amazing. Go Marcia, Marcia, Marcia!

Cowboy Hats and Blonde Ladies Lead the Way at the AACMA

PopSugar — Mon, 19 May 2008 07:05:00 PDT

Last night Kenny Chesney was declared the Entertainer of the Year for the fourth year in a row at the 43rd Annual Academy of Country Music Awards in Vegas. Garth Brooks was also back in the limelight to receive the first-ever Crystal Milestone Award for his outstanding achievements. Performer Keith Urban didn't need a trophy to make him gush. The father-to-be expressed his excitement showing off Nicole's growing baby bump on the red carpet. Top new female vocalist, Taylor Swift got real wet with a chilling performance of "Should've Said No" where she was singing and dancing while water poured down on her. Winner for best female vocalist Carrie Underwood not only looked gorgeous in her many outfits, but she also showed her chic geeky side playing with the hottest new toy she plays on her tour bus - I gotta get me one of those.

For images of the performances from Taylor, Carrie, Kenny and more as well as lots of red carpet beauties, just

Country Music Loves Its Little Ladies

Molly — Tue, 15 Apr 2008 07:35:00 PDT

Last night's Country Music Television Awards were more about glamor than sequins, but there was certainly still a lot of glitz and fun in the Nashville night. Miley and Billy Ray Cyrus hosted the evening which included a lot of costume changes for the starlet. Adorable little Taylor Swift took home Video of the Year and Female Video of the Year, while Kellie Pickler (really!? She didn't even show!) took home three statues, the most of the night. Taylor spent much of the night barefoot saying, "I walked by Faith Hill and I was like, 'This hurts so bad.' And she was like, 'Take them off,' Faith Hill told me to. So I did it." She's pretty precious and speaking of that, kinda love Carrie Underwood who closed out the show with "American Girl." Check out the full list of winners here.

To see more from the show including Bobby Brown, Brad Paisley, Brooks & Dunn, Carrie Underwood, Faith Hill, Keith Urban, Kenny Chesney and others just
