Celebrities may have a lot of help maintaining their bodies, but obtaining the same results isn’t impossible for everyone else. While they may not need to plan their own meals, or even make them, the food they’re eating is the same food we’re able to find at our grocery stores. Here are a few guidelines to follow to obtain that svelte figure of your dreams.

Stay hydrated

Staying hydrated is one of the most important ways to nourish your body and maintain your health. If your body is dehydrated many of the body’s functions aren’t able to work properly, leaving you feeling fatigued, and your body and mind drained. Without the proper amount of fluid intake, any other diet efforts are not as effective due to struggle your body will have with its digestive functions.

Water is also an appetite suppressant, and it increases the body’s ability to metabolize stored fat. Often times we experience mild dehydration throughout the day that doesn’t present itself as a thirst, but as hunger and may lead to overeating or indulging. Getting at least 8 glasses of water each day is crucial and will also help with your joints, teeth, bones, and skin, so drink up!

Eat small meals frequently

Eating smaller meals throughout the day helps to keep your metabolism working all day, controls blood sugar, and assists in staving off pesky snack cravings. Of course, if your meals throughout the day aren’t composed of healthy foods, your plan won’t work.

Skipping meals or waiting long periods of time between meals sends a signal to your body that it needs to go into starvation mode, therefore storing calories. Once your body is programmed to store calories due to long periods of time between meals, your metabolism is impacted negatively and you’ll be more likely to pack on the pounds.

Try new recipes

If you’ve eaten enough grilled chicken salads to last you a lifetime but are still trying to maintain a healthy diet, then it’s time to get creative. Try new recipes that may feel like cheating but are actually healthy for you.

There are many resources you can use to find healthy, easy, and fun new recipes such as Pinterest or healthy recipe books. Finding snacks that satisfy your sweets cravings such as mango ice cream made with fresh fruit, milk, and pure maple syrup will make you feel less deprived than sticking to your salad-only routine.

It takes a lot of time and work to change your body, especially if you’re looking for big results; but don’t feel discouraged if it takes you a few weeks to determine what works best for your body and how you can maintain a healthy lifestyle. Keep at it, and know that each day is a new chance for you to improve your diet and improve your health.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s divorce continues to be the biggest celebrity news. The longtime couple’s split is keeping the rumor mill churning, but the vast majority of the rumors about the Brangelina breakup are untrue. Gossip Cop can once again separate fact and fiction.

FICTION: Brad Pitt cheated on Angelina Jolie in Croatia, according to RadarOnline.
FACT: The webloid alleged Pitt slept with an unnamed woman, who looked “just like” Jolie, during a business trip only weeks before the separation. The so-called “Croatian cutie” was quoted as saying, “I cheated with him in Angelina’s bed.” Of course, that made no sense, since Pitt was a visitor to the country and stayed in a hotel. The site also had no proof that this paramour actually existed. It was no surprise then when a mutual friend assured Gossip Cop the cheating claim was “not true.”

FICTION: Selena Gomez’s problems are connected to Brad Pitt’s divorce, according to the National Enquirer.
FACT: As Gomez privately struggles with lupus, the supermarket tabloid claimed she’s “hiding out” due to Pitt’s drama with Jolie. The outlet ridiculously linked the couple’s split with Gomez and Pitt’s interaction at the Golden Globes back in January. But as Gossip Cop has reported, nothing inappropriate ever went down between the two. Just as that didn’t cause Pitt’s divorce, nothing about the breakup is affecting Gomez’s health. Gomez is laying low, but Brangelina certainly isn’t the reason why.

FICTION: Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are battling over her engagement ring, according to HollywoodLife.
FACT: The fabrication factory claimed to have an exclusive (cough) that said the estranged spouses both wanted to keep the $ 250,000 bauble. Pitt was said to want it for “symbolic purposes,” while it was alleged Jolie simply wanted all the jewelry she amassed during the marriage, setting the stage for a big fight. But Pitt has not asked for the ring back, and he isn’t going to. In fact, by law, it belongs to the recipient. But Gossip Cop doesn’t expect HollywoodLies to know such things.

FICTION: Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston are planning a “secret reunion,” according to OK!.
FACT: The magazine designed a bait-and-switch cover, initially leading readers to believe the exes were caught reuniting in L.A. But the full story was about the two supposedly planning to “rendezvous,” just in hopes of starting a “real friendship.” It was all completely made up, though. Pitt’s rep told Gossip Cop the claims were “totally false,” while Aniston’s spokesperson said to us that they were a “complete fabrication.”

FICTION: Angelina Jolie cheated on Brad Pitt with a married billionaire, according to Star.
FACT: In a cover story, the tabloid alleged Jolie confessed to Pitt that she had “fallen in love with another man,” whom she had been seeing “on the sly” for the last six months. He was described as a “wealthy philanthropist,” but tellingly, never named by the publication, and it was also said this mystery man wouldn’t be divorcing his wife to be with Jolie. How convenient. But just like Pitt’s aforementioned “Croatian cutie,” it seems this “billionaire” was made up out of thin air. Not only was Gossip Cop told the article was “false,” but we again confirmed that Jolie and Pitt’s divorce was not caused by a third party.

FICTION: Brad Pitt is getting “revenge” on Angelina Jolie in court, according to In Touch.
FACT: The outlet insisted in a cover story that Pitt planned on having an “explosive face-to-face showdown” in court, “armed with a secret weapon: Angelina’s psychiatric records.” It was said the actor wanted to subpoena Jolie’s medical history to “prove that she has a mental disorder,” and that he would fight for sole custody of their six kids, unless the actress backed down. But as has always been the case, Pitt wants joint custody of the children. A reliable contact also told Gossip Cop that he’s “deliberately continued to stay positive about” Jolie in the wake of the split, and still has no intention of getting nasty.

FICTION: Angelina Jolie and Jennifer Aniston are considering a “movie offer,” according to In Touch.
FACT: In one of the more ridiculous stories to emerge, the magazine claimed producers wanted the two actresses to “star in a film together.” One such producer claimed Jolie “laughed” when the project was brought up to her in the past, but suggested it might now be a real possibility. Well, moviegoers shouldn’t start saving up for tickets now… or ever. In addition to never considering such an offer before, Jolie and Aniston are absolutely not contemplating one now.

FICTION: Brad Pitt is getting divorce advice from Gwyneth Paltrow, according to RadarOnline.
FACT: The site, which has now gotten a number of stories wrong about the Brangelina breakup, added to that list by dragging in Pitt’s long-ago fiancée. This new tall tale claimed Paltrow reached out to her ex to offer advice, and she planned on “counseling” him on conscious uncoupling. And though Pitt supposedly rejected her input, it was said Paltrow still wanted to be an “unofficial mediator” for him and Jolie. Naturally, Gossip Cop checked in with a rep for the actress, who exclusively told us the claims about her involvement were “made up.”

Gossip Cop understands that Jolie and Pitt’s breakup will continue to be a hot topic for some time to come. But like with all celebrity news stories, there’s no need to abandon accuracy. With so much facts about the couple’s split out there, it’s just not necessary to resort to spreading fiction. Gossip Cop will stay focused on the real story, and we’ll also keep calling out the false rumors.

Starting from an early age, we begin looking at the fashion magazines and tabloids for our fashion inspiration. Celebrities are trendsetters and can easily start huge fads by wearing an outfit in public. Some of you may be left wondering how to dress in the latest trendy threads if you don’t have an A-lister’s bank account balance, so follow these tips to become fashion forward on a budget.

Prepare yourself to spend a lot of time shopping

Finding great deals on chic clothes is no easy task, and will take some time if you’re looking to buy great clothing. Make sure that when you go shopping you aren’t in a rush, and have enough time to sift through all of the racks at quite a few different stores.

Look in stores that you may have never been in, and don’t be afraid to browse at a store that doesn’t look quite like your style. Remember that if you’re only shopping at the most popular stores in the mall, and picking out the pieces the mannequins are modeling, you won’t be the only one wearing that outfit the next time you go out on the town.

Buy staple items first

Before you opt for that bright yellow dress with the large pink polka-dots, make sure you have your basics in line first. A few must haves are the basic white and black shirts without any embellishments, a classy blazer, and some great fitting jeans. These items can be dressed up or down depending on how you style them and should be the beginning of your wardrobe.

You don’t need to dress in all staple items at once, but it’s easy to throw a great ensemble together when you only have to worry about finding one statement piece. Decide on which staple item you’re going to wear and dress it up or down however you’d like using your more unique and flashy attire.

Learn to accessorize

Often times it isn’t the clothing that makes an outfit fabulous, but the accessories that go along with it. The great part about using this method to look like you’re red carpet ready is that costume jewelry is usually pretty inexpensive, and can help you style staple closet items in many different ways.

According to newlookus.com, you could glam up a head-to-toe sweat suit simply by wearing it with a pair of large and in charge earrings. Finding unique pieces of jewelry helps take any ordinary outfit and make it look more than glamorous. Don’t forget to use all types of accessories such as sunglasses, jewelry, scarves, and purses to spice up your look.

Learning to dress like a celebrity is no easy task, especially when you’re not equipped with your own glam squad and personal shopper, but it can be done. Learn to take your time finding the perfect pieces to complete your closet and finding new and unique ways to wear the clothes you have.

Hillary Clinton chimes in!

Earlier this week, the world was shocked when Kim Kardashian was robbed at gunpoint in her Paris residence. Although the KUWTK star was not physically harmed, the criminals walked away with over $ 10 million worth of jewelry.

On Wednesday, the Democrat sat down with Extra‘s AJ Calloway and revealed her thoughts about the unfortunate incident.

The politician said:

“I felt really bad for her.”

Bill Clinton‘s wife then gave props to Kimmy’s husband Kanye West for ending his concert once he got word.

“He was in the middle of the concert and he ran offstage, bless his heart. I’m just glad nobody was hurt.”

The Presidential nominee also shared her opinion about last weekend’s episode of Saturday Night Live where she was parodied by Kate McKinnon!

“I saw it on delay, but I did see it… I’ll tell you when Kate McKinnon came out with the walker, I thought I was going to fall off my chair. She makes me laugh anyway, she is so funny just naturally. Oh, my gosh, she was amazing. I wish I could do the jumps, the splits, the somersault… I’ve been working on it.”

But what did she think of Alec Baldwin‘s portrayal of Donald Trump??

“Perfect. I can’t wait to see what else they’re going to do. His look, his scowling, his staring down then muttering his response, he was perfect… I don’t know who is going to show up at the next debate Sunday night.”

Ariana Grande and Mac Miller are not already talking marriage, despite a new report. Gossip Cop can exclusively correct this claim. We’re told there is “no truth” to it.

According to Life & Style, “wedding bells” will soon be ringing for Grande and Miller. A supposed source tells the tabloid, “Arianna has always wanted to be married by 25, and Mac checks all of her boxes.” “She thinks he’s cute, sexy and he makes her laugh all the time,” explains the so-called “insider.” The alleged source goes on to contend Miller and Grande have begun to discuss their “dream nuptials,” and they would “love it to be outdoors, on an island, surrounded by a dozen bridesmaids and groomsmen.”

But that’s not all. The publication’s misguided or seemingly made-up “insider” further alleges Grande has chosen her wedding gown, which she would like to be “white with diamonds, off the shoulder, with a veil and the longest train ever.” As for Miller, the tabloid claims Grande would like him to wear a white tuxedo. And while “Ariana wants to wait a few years before she gets pregnant,” asserts the outlet, both she and Miller “want to start a family while they’re still young.”

So, how close are the two singers to getting married? They’re not. An impeccable Grande source exclusively tells Gossip Cop there’s “no truth” the magazine’s story.

Did Hillary Clinton send Lester Holt hand signals during the presidential debate?! That’s the outrageous claim in one of this week’s tabloids. Gossip Cop looked into the wild accusation.

As Gossip Cop reported, last month Clinton and Donald Trump participated in the first presidential debate, which was moderated by Holt. Now, more than a week after the event, the National Enquirer is branding the former First Lady a “dirty debater.” It’s claimed there’s video that shows Clinton was in “cahoots” with Holt to “take down Donald.”

“A comprehensive video has surfaced that rather convincingly shows Hillary using hand signals like a third-base baseball coach to prompt Lester to quickly call on her to counter comments made by Donald Trump,” a so-called “source” claims to the supermarket tabloid. The alleged tipster goes on, “In a move lifted right out of a ‘Cheating for Dummies’ book, Hillary Clinton is seen scratching her nose and face to signal Lester Holt several times.”

It’s rather odd that this “source” would go from referring to “Hillary” and “Lester” to “Hillary Clinton” and “Lester Holt” in the very next quote. It’s also odd that in the time since the debate took place, no major news outlet has authenticated any such video proving Clinton and Holt had secret hand signals. And to the contrary, non-partisan outlets like Snopes shut down such rumors just two days after the debate.

It’s also worth noting that Trump made his fair share of gestures, too. Furthermore, since the two candidates were on opposite sides of the stage, angled towards each other, Holt would’ve had to spend a noticeably large amount of time focused on Clinton if he were to actually catch her supposed signals.

Simply put, there is no legitimate evidence to prove she was using hand signals, just like there is no proof to back up the National Enquirer’s claim that Clinton has “deadly health conditions,” including muscular dystrophy, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer’s and brain damage. It’s only the magazine’s “reporting” that’s damaged.

The VPs go at it!

On Tuesday at Longwood University in Farmville, Virginia, Tim Kaine (left) and Mike Pence debated at the (only) Vice Presidential Debate.

Keeping up with Angie!

Two weeks ago, Angelina Jolie shocked the world when she filed for divorce from Brad Pitt after being together since 2004.

Related: Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie Aren’t The Only Couple To Have A Nasty Split

Recently, the Girl, Interrupted actress and her six kids moved out of their Malibu mansion and into a Hidden Hills compound where they have VERY famous neighbors!

The Kardashian family — specifically Kim Kardashian, Kris Jenner, and Kylie Jenner — all have homes in the exclusive gated community.

The 41-year-old thespian’s 8000 square foot crib — which costs $ 30K a month — is only a mile from Kimye’s pad.

Miz Jolie’s new residence has six bedrooms, eight bathrooms, two swimming pools, a large cabana, and a wine cellar! Not a bad space!

Who knows?? Perhaps Angie could make a cameo on KUWTK!

Ashlee Simpson is one lucky girl!

On Monday, Ashlee celebrated her 32nd year on earth with her precious kids and husband Evan Ross. What more could a girl ask for?!

Related: Ashlee & Evan Are Collaborating On An Album!

In the cute snap (above)!, Simpson sits in front of a blazing birthday candle while her adoring fam looks on. It’s truly the perfect scene!

A doting Evan captioned the b-day shot:

“Happy Birthday to the Most incredible Lady. I love you with all my heart baby. Im so lucky to have you!! Your My everything!! @ashleesimpsonross!!!!!!”

Aw, how sweet! It’s clear Ashlee is loved by many.

On another note, we can’t believe how big Ash’s little girl Jagger is getting! It’s crazy to think the baby is already a year and a few months old…

As for the singer’s big sis Jessica Simpson, it looks like she was nowhere to be found. The mogul didn’t even take to social media to wish A.S. a happy birthday, so we hope she reached out privately. Who knows, maybe the siblings are planning an epic bash for this weekend!

Happy birthday, Ashlee!
