Kelly Ripa is on the cover of next month’s Fitness Magazine and People has a few quotes from the interview on her beauty and workout tips.

On making her butt look good in jeans:

“I treat my cheeks like breasts in a push-up bra. I just reach down in there, lift them up and push them together. And they’ll stay put if the jeans are tight enough in the seat.”

On what motivates her to workout:

“A month or two after I started working out, I wore a sleeveless turtleneck to work. Regis was like, ‘Pipa, your arm muscles look incredible!’ ” she says. “It was the first time anybody had ever said anything to me about my muscles. And because I am a vain person, that’s all I needed to hear to stay with it.”

On her biggest health fear:

“I used to smoke, so lung cancer is the thing that keeps me awake at night,” she reveals. “I worry, ‘Did I quit in enough time? Did I do it for too long?’ It’s one of those things where I think, ‘Boy, what a foolish thing I did.’ “

Her strategy for making her butt look good cracks me up! That can’t be very comfortable!

The Angels have been all over the place this week. Here they are making a Victoria’s Secret store appearance and then afterwards going outside to receive an Award of Excellence to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of Victoria’s Secret. Do you think the other girls ever get jealous that Heidi Klum is front and center for every single picture?

And is it just me or does the blond in the first thumbnail look like a combination of Maggie Grace and Nicky Hilton?

Paris Hilton picked up a little souvenir while she was in Korea-a new puppy! She supposedly named it Kimchi. I’m a little surprised she was able to bring a dog back into the U.S. I thought normally they quarantined animals before letting them leave the airport.

So is this Tinkerbell’s replacement???

Ellen Pompeo quietly married Chris Ivery over the weekend People Magazine has confirmed.  Mayor Bloomberg served as a witness in the ceremony that was performed at City Hall. Congrats!!

Ellen Pompeo now officially has her own McDreamy: the Grey’s Anatomy star and fiancé Chris Ivery married on Friday, her dad confirms to PEOPLE. “I’m very happy for her,” Joseph Pompeo, of Everett, Mass., said Wednesday. “She just didn’t want a big thing.”

Reports are coming in that Hollywood couple Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have bought a man-made island “in the shape of Ethiopia off the coast of the United Arab Emirates city of Dubai. The land bought by the pair is part of an ambitious luxury development of 300 small islands shaped like a world map in the sea close to the Gulf state.” Kind of random right? Well, the purchase was made to encourage people to “live greener”. Not sure how the two are connected - but I will play along.

UPDATE: Brad Pitt’s reps are saying this story is completely false.

Carrie Underwood performed during a secret taping on the ice for the Rockefeller Tree lighting ceremony due to air on November 28th. Her jacket is very unique and quite the conversation piece. Was it the right choice for her TV appearance?

In other news, this country singer is growing on me by the minute. I am so happy she is finding success in the industry. She really seems like a genuinely nice person.
