Yes, she could be a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model, but Southland's Regina King knows that it's what's inside that counts. Her family has a history of hypertension and despite her athleticism, heredity caught up with her. In her 20's, she was diagnosed with high blood pressure and high cholesterol. She went on a life-saving mission, literally, and instead of going on medication, the star took to improving her health the natural way. Her change in diet and exercise helped return her blood pressure back to normal. She cut out dairy and switched to rice milk to lower her cholesterol levels. She also added healthy fats, like flaxseed oil and omega-3 supplements. She points to exercise for relieving stress and helping her sleep better and says her motivation is "to be around to enjoy her grandkids."

Her newest gig as Carlene Cockburn, the head soprano in the church choir and Bible blogger, is sparking controversy. ABC's GCB couples Christian values with sinful characters, but there's no dispute that her diet and fitness regimen are on point. She's been spotted on the streets of New York and even participated in the Heel-A-Thon in Central Park. She tells Shape she eats almonds, oatmeal, and drinks tea daily and splurges on 90-calorie cans of Coca Cola to treat herself. Watch GCB, Sundays at 10/9c on ABC.

She credits yoga and running from slowing down the inevitable aging she is coming to grips with. The 35 year-old star tells Elle Magazine, "Nothin's going north. It's all going south, might as well put in on film now. But not without a lot of padding and a push-up bra."

While Eva's reign as a "Desperate Housewife" is almost up, her latest plunging neckline is sure to keep her in the spotlight.

True to her small town roots, (shoutout to Checotah, Oklahoma!), she hasn't ruled out running Underwood farm. "I'll never eat meat again, because I look and feel better without it, but If I could raise my own cows and chickens and produce my own eggs and cheese, it would be awesome! The food would taste better, because the animals would be happy!"

What the heck is Jessica Alba doing other than working out? Oh yeah, playing mommy to two little girls and looking all defined not even a year after giving birth to her second child. First she walks around in a bikini only four months after Haven Garner's arrival, and then she keeps stepping out in strapless dresses to prove she doesn't have one of those super-shaper thingies new moms wear to keep it all sucked in. Her well-defined arms, flawless collarbones and perfect apple-shaped face make for even more to hate on. She points to doing burpees to get her body back. Get it Jess!
