On the cover of this month’s Women’s Health, actress Keri Russell‘s abs are astounding. Want to know how she got them? Oh, just doing workout videos to Mumford & Sons in her closet, of course. She says: More
Like so many women who appear beautiful with a terrific figure, Sarah Michelle Gellar admits that she too has body image issues. In fact, the 34-year-old actress confessed to Health magazine that she has body dysmorphic disorder–a condition where someone is excessively concerned or preoccupied with perceived defects and imperfections on her body.

Remember the scene in Mean Girls where head Mean Girl Regina snaps at Gretchen, “Stop trying to make ‘fetch’ happen”? Coining a new slang word isn’t always as easy as merely thinking it up. Today’s “huh?” neologism is from People.com: “he-vage.” That means “man cleavage.” Showing that’s it not enough to objectify the breasts of female celebrities, People now hones in on the chests of male celebrities and either mocks them for having too much skin or fat there or objectifies them for having nice muscles.

This week has been The Body Positive week at Blisstree, and we’ve been exploring an oft-ignored aspect of health and wellness: Body image. While we’ve done our best to get you thinking outside of the box when it comes to beauty standards and physical judgement, we know as well as you do that it’s easier said than done. Just when we’re feeling good about ourselves, it seems there’s another Hot Young Actress or Svelte Supermodel ready to knock down our self-esteem. But we’d like to make a closing argument when it comes to judging your body against current trends and ideals: Like everything else, this too shall pass. And a look at the past 12 decades of the ideal female body prove it. More
In the Guardian, Ros Coward writes about Europe’s “two princesses” of the moment, Charlene, Princess of Monaco and technically-’Duchess’ Kate Middleton. More
Politicians have been stereotyped as a bunch of fat, old white guys, but in recent years, tides have turned. Not only are more women in office than ever before, but we’re also seeing a lot more buff guys in office. In fact, we’re seeing a lot more of them than we’d like to (thanks for that, Rep. Weiner). But despite the scandals that the new “body politic” has seen recently, we’re actually pretty happy to see our leaders get healthy — not only are they better role models for those of us who think it’s impossible to work intense hours at a desk and stay fit, but they’re also better functioning humans, according to Tony Horton, whose P90X workouts are responsible for a lot of the hot bods on Capitol Hill.

Nowadays it goes without saying that celebrities, by and large, will have rock-hard abs, lean, shapely legs, and butts you could bounce quarters off of. They’re always saying that “it’s their job” to look good. When they’re not in front of the lens, or rocking out on stage, they’re packing into gyms to shred every layer of fat off their torsos. But for those of us who are chained to our desks from nine to five, having a similar body can seem way out of reach as we struggle to find the time to work out at all, let alone for three hours a day like our favorite stars. But June’s issue of Men’s Health just hit the shelves, and the shirtless man with washboard abs on the cover is, surprisingly, not an all-star, rock star, movie star, or even porn star; he’s a Republican congressman from Arizona, Aaron Schock.
