Madonna Celebrates Her 54th Birthday Today; We Celebrate Her Buff Arms

Madonna Celebrates Her 54th Birthday Today; We Celebrate Her Buff Arms

The always-controversial Madonna turns 54 today (Happy Birthday!), so in true Blisstree style, we are celebrating her fitness–specifically, those awesome, buff arms. Over the years, Madonna’s muscular arms have sparked tons of debate. Some have described them as scary, unhealthy, grotesque and even unfeminine with “protruding biceps and bulging veins.” This has lead some to wonder if a sculpted physique can still be considered feminine and sexy. We say, hell yes! So in honor of Madonna’s birthday, we are celebrating with a “Birthday Call to Arms.” Take a look at the Material Girl’s rock-hard arms over the years–and be inspired!

Madonna Shames Karl Lagerfeld For Fat-Shaming Adele

Madonna Shames Karl Lagerfeld For Fat-Shaming Adele

Fans and media have already shamed Karl Lagerfeld for fat-shaming Adele, but now Madonna‘s getting on his case—and pointing the discussion towards her talent instead of her looks. In an interview with The Sun, she said his comments about the singer’s weight were “horrible” and offered advice to the younger pop star for weathering the kind of criticism doled out by Lagerfeld.

What I’m Most Excited For This Super Bowl Sunday: Madonna’s Arms

What I'm Most Excited For This Super Bowl Sunday: Madonna's Arms

With over 100 million viewers expected to tune into the Super Bowl this Sunday, all eyes will be on…Madonna‘s arms. Well, at least mine will. I mean, have you seen her lately? For 53 years old, she looks fantastic–”bulging biceps” and all, as the Daily Mail has pointed out. Of course, they’re not the first to get up in arms over Madonna’s arms (and other female celebs with toned physiques): Plenty of headlines have criticized her for looking “too buff” or like she’s putting in too much time at the gym. But isn’t it time we stop giving women heat for looking strong?They’re just healthy, fit role models, who happen to have strong a kick-ass, rock-hard body—all things that I aspire to myself. More »

Tracy Anderson Can’t Really Change Your Body Type…Or Can She?

Tracy Anderson Can't Really Change Your Body Type...Or Can She?

Tracy Anderson is known for molding the bodies of Hollywood celebrities (Gwyneth Paltrow and Madonna have credited the trainer for getting their post-baby bodies back in check), and her long list of A-list clients has built her a nice bicoastal biz. But now she’s taking her workouts to the masses, claiming that she can even morph the bodies of mere pleabians with her new (aptly named) DVD set: Metamorphosis by Tracy. “With metamorphosis by Tracy, you can actually design the body you’ve always wanted, defy your genetics, and redefine your body type,” promises the promo, below. We don’t doubt that Tracy can help a couch potato slim down, or even help an exercise buff see results with her DVDs and diet plan. But change our body type? We doubt that she can make everyone’s hips as slim as Madonna’s, and getting legs like Gwyneth’s would require painful leg lengthening procedures for the average woman (we’re only 5’6”, after all).

Coconut Water Isn’t “Magical,” Says Los Angeles Times, But We Still Like It

Coconut Water Isn't "Magical," Says Los Angeles Times, But We Still Like It

Aggressive marketing and buff stars like Madonna have made coconut popular recent years; hooking a health-conscious crowd with claims of being nature’s sports drink. But according to the Los Angeles Times, coconut water isn’t all it’s cracked up to be — it doesn’t provide post-workout protein, it doesn’t contain enough carbs for athletes involved in “intensive training,” and while it contains tons of potassium, it doesn’t contain much salt. Oh, and according to the director of sports nutrition at UC Davis, “there’s nothing magical about coconut water.” We can’t say whether coconut water is really worth your money, but we think the Times could stand to ease up on the drink: For the average person, we still think it’s a better post-workout choice than sports drinks and energy bars.
