O.C. actress Mischa Barton has told fans not to worry about her apparent weight loss, as the 23-year-old’s slender frame has been the focus of media comment in recent weeks, causing concern amongst her fan base that she is taking dieting too far and needs to slow down as it may be becoming obsessive to her. 

The English-born actress has spoken out about this and said there is nothing wrong and had a pop at the press for suggesting otherwise. In her official blog, Mischa said: “So lately there’s been a lot of crazy press about my weight and just so you guys know I’m happier than ever so there is no need to worry about me.”

Mischa Barton’s weight went up last year and she was photographed in Australia looking a little bit plumper than usual and with very dimpled thighs and backside.. but now her weight has dropped and it is continuing to go down. 

Apparently Mischa is upset by the bad press she has been receiving about her weight and addressed the ‘crazy press’ in her blog, where she spoke about the reaction to her weight loss saying: ”So lately there’s been a lot of crazy press about my weight and just so you guys know I’m happier and healthier than ever so there is no need to worry about me. Things are really well in Mischa world and I’ve just been watching what I eat.”

“I still love my pilates and yoga, and have cut back on fatty foods a bit.  My time in India and Paris really just helped me lose a little bit of weight but there’s nothing drastic going on!”

“I appreciate the concern, I just wish the press wouldn’t harbor on it as I think it’s very unhealthy for young girls to read about and pay attention to.  To my female fans: Just be happy and secure with yourself and don’t let other people’s perceptions of you dictate the way you live your life.”

The former OC star is currently filming with Martin Sheen in Bhopal: A Prayer For Rain.

Gorgeous actress Jessica Alba is a yummy mummy and this is due to her fabulous figure, and she has revealed the secret behind her post-pregnancy figure – she wore a girdle…

Jessica who starred in The ‘Sin City’, gave birth to her daughter Honor Marie last June and has admitted her trim body has little to do with hours spent at the gym. When questioned about her fab shape Jessica said: “I wore a girdle. Eight weeks after my girlfriend had her baby, you could see her six-pack. She told me to put an elastic band around my waist – any kind of band or girdle works. I didn’t recover as fast as she did. I don’t have a six-pack – that’s just not my body at all.”

Jessica married her husband Cash Warren in a secret ceremony last May, and soon after gave birth to their daughter Honor, admits that she hated working out after giving birth and just wanted to spend her time as a family, and refuses to return to the gym.

She said: “The workouts were horrible – I cried. And I haven’t worked out since.”

The 27-year-old actress finds it so difficult to be away from her eight-month-old daughter she uses a computer programme to keep in touch. She said: “This is the first time I’ve been away from her. It’s been six days. It sucks – it’s the worst thing ever. But we Skype, so I can see her on video.”

Lindsay Lohan’s weight loss is apparently the result of stress, the Mean Girls star has caused concern of late over her figure, and her heavy partying, drinking and late nights will not be helping her on her road to recovery, if she is suffering from stress from being tired and run down.

Lindsay’s assistant has spoken out about the famous actress star and has said there is nothing to worry about, but added that Lindsay was aware that she had lost weight and it isn’t a hidden problem. Close friends of Lindsay’s have reportedly put the drop in weight down to her rocky relationship with DJ Samantha Ronson.

Last week it was openly spoken about that the relationship was taking its toll on both of them, saying Lindsay was “bad for Sam’s health”. But the actress’s ‘people’ have denied that there is anything to be concerned about.

Lindsay is aware that she’s lost some weight due to stress, but she recently did a photo shoot where she looked thin, but she still ate two full meals and appeared to enjoy the food, so hopefully that will dampen any worries about her health and what appear to be poor eating habits.

Mel B says she is “scared” at the prospect of performing a solo show in Las Vegas. The former Spice Girl Mel is moving to the US city for the March start of Peep Show, which she describes as a “burlesque, singing, dancing” performance.

Mel was recently at a signing session for her new exercise DVD, Totally Fit, and she spoke out about traveling to Las Vegas to perform solo, she said: “I have got my show in Vegas which starts at the end of March so I’m moving all the family out there, which is called Peep Show.”

She described the show herself explaining the general theme, “It’s a burlesque, singing, dancing show. I’m scared actually now, come to think of it. A whole show by myself. But it will be fun.”

Her fitness DVD contains a full-body workout with 30-minutes of cardio and resistance training, which is combined with Mel B’s tips on healthy eating, and after 6 months of hard training Mel is looking fantastic and says she feels great. Her DVD also includes work out for those who have limited time, which includes a selection of fast paced 10-minute workouts.

Mel spoke about her DVD saying: “I would describe it as fun, energetic and it works. You have to be good to your body. You have to work out and treat it good.”

She was worried about struggling to get back into shape after the birth of her two children, but she is very pleased with the results and says it was worth all the hard work and it certainly wasn’t easy, she hopes her success will give other Mum’s the confidence to start to work out and regain their pre-pregnancy bodies.
