On Tuesday, it was confirmed that model, dancer, and drag queen Antoine Ashley, who performed under the name Sahara Davenport had died. He was just 27–and his death left many stunned, heartbroken, and full of questions. Then, late last night, his family left a message on his Facebook fan page and released an official statement through NewNowNext. The cause of death was heart failure. More
As much as we like to tout vegetarian and vegan diets (or at least, cutting out meat and dairy) on this site, the fact is that veganism just might not work for everyone. For example, it apparently doesn’t work for Justin Bieber, who tried it out at the behest of his mentor, Usher. And, apparently, it turned him into kind of a pill. More
Huh. This sure is something. According to reports from OK! Magazine, Kanye West has decided that Kim Kardashian is due to lose a few pounds. And that, in his infinite wisdom, she should do it the same way his BFF Beyonce did it for her role in Dreamgirls. Of course, for that part, Beyonce famously went on (and hated) the Master Cleanse, which is widely known to be the worst diet of all time, ever. And while the whole thing is probably pure celebrity gossip with little factual backing, now is as good a time as any to say, yet again, that a.) asking your spouse to lose weight for your own vain reasons is awful, and b.) the Master Cleanse is unbelievably stupid, unhealthy, and will turn you into a crazy person.

Since giving birth to her first child on Sunday, Snooki has been a real pal about keeping the world up-to-date on what she’s up to. Tweeting everything from her messy hair to her approach to sleep (“We just take lots of naps”), the reality TV star seems to be on a mission to show to her many critics that she is, in fact, a good mom. But by far the biggest proof that Snook is a real human being with real emotions is her newfound appreciation for breastfeeding. More
Last week, Rosie O’Donnell wrote in a blog post about a truly terrifying experience. She’d had a heart attack, which definitely could have killed her. But something good does seem to have come out of the scary wake-up call: the Queen of Nice recently Tweeted that she’d adopted a plant-based diet, and had already begun to lose weight. More
After super-strict celebrity trainer Tracy Anderson gave birth in May, we were nervous. Nervous that she’d apply her hard-core, sometimes body-negative, often bordering-on-unhealthy advice not only to regular women, but to new moms, too. Lo and behold, she has. In an interview with Dujour magazine, Anderson cut right to the snarky chase, noting that “A lot of women use pregnancy as an excuse to let their bodies go, and that’s the worst thing.” More
Kelly Ripa follows all the rules of great health: She drinks water, she works out, and she doesn’t eat too much. But in a recent interview with In Touch, she also bravely admitted that she’s got a beauty secret: Botox. Which, she says, she really, really likes a lot. And she always knows it’s time to go back under the needle when, she explains, her kids notice that she’s starting to frown. More
It’s no secret that Vogue hasn’t exactly been a leader in the effort toward pushing for more body-positive, healthy portrayals of the female body in the media and fashion industry; though, perhaps more frustrating than the absence of effort has been the fashion icon’s piecemeal attempts to do good, without actually doing anything significant. But today, New York Magazine reports, all of Vogue‘s 19 international editions have banded together under something called the “Health Initiative.” I really, really want to believe that this is going to matter–but you’ll forgive me if I’m skeptical.
