Julianne Hough Chows Down

December 16th, 2008

Julianne Hough doesn’t believe in worrying about weight during the holiday season.    

“I don’t diet,” the Dancing With The Stars beauty, 20, tells me. “I eat!”

Julianne
will perform tunes from her Christmas album Sounds of the Season: The Julianne Hough Collection on TNT’s Christmas In Washington, which airs Wednesday at 8pm ET.

She has already won the heart of fellow country singer Chuck Wicks. He agrees: She loves to eat.

“When I first met her, we sat down and talked over five different desserts in Las Vegas at the ACM Awards,” Chuck, 29, tells me. “We realized we had so much in common – you could see the sincerity in what she says, and she’s so genuine. She’s so beautiful inside that the outside’s just a bonus.”

Julianne has equal praise for her man.

“We complement each other well, and we really understand each other’s careers and passions,” she tells me. “He’s an amazing guy.”

Tune in Wednesday to catch Julianne – and Darius Rucker – perform.

And, pick up the OK! on stands everywhere Thursday to find out more about Julianne’s love life and how she slims down after eating whatever she wants during the holidays.  

Charlize’s Sympathy for Dieters!

March 13th, 2008 / Author: OK! Staff

Charlize Theron has gained and lost many pounds for movie roles. Currently, Charlize is filling in her trashiest skinny jeans in her new movie Sleepwalking, in which she plays a mom who abandons her daughter for foster care.

But while her ups and downs have been purely career-driven, the Oscar winner, 32, empathizes with friends whose battles have been more personal. "I’ve been fascinated by people who lose a lot of weight," she told OK! at a junket promoting her movie, drawing a link between her character’s belief that having a boyfriend will remove her woes and long-term dieters’ similar expectations about their bodies.

"There’s this excitement and joy when they have gastric bypass surgery, and they actually truly believe that once they lose the weight all their problems will be solved," said the actress. She continued, "That’s just not how life works. Once they lose the weight, they realize that, and that’s why they go and gain the weight back."

Her new movie Sleepwalking opens this month.
