Fittest Female Celebrity of 2008
We were inspired by many fit celebrities this year, but Jessica Biel received the majority of your votes for the fittest female celebrity of 2008. It's the second consecutive year that Jessica's fit lifestyle won her the title, and the poll results showed the only close competition was Madonna. Many of you mentioned you like the young star because she's muscular but feminine, and it seems Adam Sandler didn't have to stretch the truth when reciting his line in I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry when he told Biel's character, "That may be the most perfect body I've ever seen."
Jessica Biel Is a Fit Winner!
While we saw many of our favorite fit female celebrities working to get even fitter in 2007, none more so than Jessica Biel. When she is not walking her dogs, she can be seen hitting the track for a tough session of plyometrics, hitting the beach for a fun workout in the sand, practicing her golf swing, and bumming around post workout with her slightly less fit, but really cute boyfriend Justin Timberlake. So it's no surprise that you guys picked Jessica as your favorite fit female celebrity of 2007!
Gwyneth Paltrow to Join Nicole Kidman in The Danish Girl
About a year ago Nicole Kidman signed on to play a transsexual in The Danish Girl, and now Gwyneth Paltrow has signed on to play her (his?) wife. Taking over a role originally slated for Charlize Theron, Paltrow will play Greta, an artist in 1920s Copenhagen who encourages her husband (Kidman) to pose as a female model — but has mixed feelings about the matter when her husband decides to undergo a sex change operation.
This is the second recent project that Charlize has dropped out of only to make room for another big star (the first is The Tourist), but do you think Gwyneth will be a better fit for the role?
Surgery to Get Your Feet Stiletto-Slim?
According to Christian Louboutin, Barbie has cankles — but she's not the only one who needs a makeover to fit her stilettos. Apparently, donning perfectly crafted sky-high heels means women need perfectly re-crafted feet to match. In fact, even while most cosmetic procedures are on the decline — thanks to the recession — podiatrists report that the demand for cosmetic foot surgery is on the rise.
Buzz Interview With the Cast of Precious, Part 3: Gabourey Sidibe
Precious begins rolling out in theaters this Friday, and we'll finally see if it lives up to its Oscar hype. One performance that the Academy will definitely be talking about comes from newcomer Gabby Sidibe, who carries the film as the title character.
Playing an abused, pregnant teen is the sort of responsibility and heavy subject matter that could make even pros crack under pressure — so how is she coping with her big screen debut?

Mad Men, "The Color Blue": This Week's 5 Maddest Moments
I have often found myself forgetting that Mad Men began with its leading man's Big Dirty Secret — and that not everyone knows the truth. That may be about to change, as we saw on this week's episode, "The Color Blue."
As usual, I've recapped the episode by its maddest moments, so to see them, just read more
Pearl Izumi Gets Technical
Pearl Izumi ruffled some feathers with its ad campaign pitting runner against joggers, but regardless they make amazing biking gear. Recently, the company released clothing made with four technical fabrics designed to reduce drag, regulate body temperature, and address the problems of moisture. They sent me a few items to check out, which meant a couple of bike rides and a spin class over the course of a few days — any excuse to hop on my bike.
