Selena Gomez 

It takes a lot of work to get a body like Selena's!

It’s no secret that Selena Gomez has fought a grueling battle against social media trolls in the past. Instead of crumbling under the pressure though, Selena bounced back, teamed up with trainer Amy Rosoff Davis and is officially in the best shape of her life. “Amy is incredible and we have a really fun friendship,” the star shared with Vogue US. The pair buckled down a month and a half ago, and train every day.
In a recent interview with Vogue, Selena revealed her rules for building stamina and getting body-ready for her Revival tour. It takes work to squeeze into those bodysuits! Here are her top tips.

1.Drink Up 

“I always have water, tons of water. It’s even in my bathroom because I used to be so bad at drinking water and I want to stay hydrated” Selena shared. The star also credits her juicer - she mixes carrots, ginger, celery, and beet.

2. Take Big Breaths 

“I have the hardest time breathing, weirdly enough. Even when I have conversations, I need to work on my breathing, so it’s something I enjoy because it’s peaceful and it helps me relax.”

3. Being a Jack of all trades

“Once we started rehearsing, I was doing Pilates, SoulCycle, every form of yoga. Basically, I wanted to mix things up because I get bored easily. I just try to keep it fresh,” says Selena.

Well this fitness plan is definitely working. We may take a page out of her book!

Captain America Civil War movie review

'Captain America: Civil War' Is The Mightiest Marvel Movie

Captain America: Civil War, our 13th spin around the Marvel Cinematic Universe, is such a satisfying Problems In 21st Century Superheroics seminar that I'd be humming its theme for days if only I could remember it. Does Captain America have a theme? Does Iron Man? What about Black Widow? Haven't they each earned one by now? Eight years into a lovingly micromanaged franchise that has made Marvel Studios as indomitable as Galactus, benevolent mogul Kevin Feige still hasn't found a composer to elevate one of these movies to the firmament of earworms. Civil War's ersatz score, by Henry "Not Wolverine" Jackman, might've been borrowed from a '90s Tom Clancy flick. The movie isn't all that much to look at, either. Much of it takes place indoors, and its exteriors all appear to have been captured on the same cloudy afternoon in the spring of 2015 (though there's a Mark Fuhrman joke that American Crime Story has made topical again). Sibling directors Anthony and Joe Russo were best known for the hip TV comedies Arrested Development and Community before Marvel hired them to make the superb Captain America: The Winter Soldier; they're doing the next two Avengers, too. Their current Avengers movie, the one called Captain America: Civil War, has aerial combat and even a shot-in-IMAX sequence, but its visual sense remains stubbornly small screen. (I saw it in 3-D, which made the fight choreography — so crisp in Winter Soldier — look sloppier and the green-screen shots look faker. 2-D is A-1.) At least it'll hold up well on the at-home revisits it's bound to enjoy as Marvel's sinister-sounding Phase Three marches on. Because in all the ways that matter most — characterization, performance, emotional tension, allegorical heft — Civil War is Earth's Mightiest Marvel movie. It is also, at 147 minutes, the longest, but every minute is up there on the screen, so to speak. It's both more tense and more operatic than Joss Whedon's seminal Avengers chapters, and it juggles even more characters successfully. Best of all, it achieves genuine pathos while still being enormously funny. It's the Vibranium standard for superteam flicks. Liberally adapted from a Mark Millar comic book scenario circa 2006-7, Civil War finds the Avengers disassembled: The cumulative human cost of their adventures, plus a botched mission in this movie resulting in still more loss of life, has the world demanding the team submit to United Nations oversight. Tony "Iron Man" Stark, the hero most traumatized by their battles, thinks it's the right move. (As the person most responsible for creating Ultron, the malignant AI that talks like James Spader, he has good reason to believe that their power is too dangerous to remain unchecked.) But Captain Steve Rogers — still the lionhearted Brooklyn kid who tried again to enlist against the Nazis each time the draft board ruled him 4-F — believes the world will be safer if its guardians remain autonomous. And because screenwriters Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely and star Chris Evans have developed the character so beautifully over the past five years, our hearts are with Cap, even though Stark's position is clearly the rational one. Things get more dire when Bucky "The Winter Soldier" Barnes (Sebastian Stan) — who, like his pre-brainwashing best pal Steve, has stayed in his early 30s since the early '40s thanks to evil Nazi cryoscience — becomes a suspect in an assassination that puts the enigmatic new hero Black Panther on his trail. Cap is maniacally determined to protect his oldest friend, even when he appears to be guilty. This pattern of characters we know to be good making honest and consequential mistakes is what makes Civil War resonate like a classical tragedy. Well, that and Robert Downey Jr., who in his sixth appearance as Stark appears more invested in the part than ever. He's not the glib egotist of films past; his worldview has darkened. And yet his scouting trip to Queens to recruit a certain friendly neighborhood do-gooder who lives with his aunt proves that even in brooding mode, Downey can still knock a comedic scene out of the park. He gets a big assist from believably adolescent new wall-crawler Tom Holland, who makes the occasion of Spidey finally being granted full MCU citizenship feel like the blessed event that it is. Perhaps sensing that some quarters of the audience may be getting fidgety after all this chitchat, the partners of McFeely, Markus, Russo & Russo reward our patience with the grandest, most inventive supersmackdown in cape-flick history. It's six on six; Iron Man isn't the only one who thought to bring backup. The filmmakers have approached the problem of how warriors with these particular talents might attack and counter one another with the zealous imagination of 9-year-olds. But they've also considered that each side is trying to subdue its rivals without causing irreversible harm. That would-that-it-'twere-so-simple objective, plus the humor that inexperienced combatants Spider-Man and Ant-Man bring to the fray, makes for an ingenious set piece that keeps finding new ways to surprise us. After that bravura sequence, the film wisely goes for intimacy rather than trying to top itself on spectacle. There are revelations large and small, and some plotting that's just as wobbly as Batman v Superman's if we're being honest. That kind of thing is almost inevitable in a story with this many moving parts and is easily forgiven in a picture — a franchise — that's done the hard work of making us care. That's not to say it isn't hard to look at all those perfectly sculpted visages: Anthony Mackie as Cap's best 21st century pal, Falcon. Daniel Brühl, playing a mysterious conspirator. Someone named Scarlett Johansson. (I had to look her up.) Chadwick Boseman, whose regal Black Panther makes you wish his Ryan Coogler-helmed movie was arriving sooner than 2018. Elizabeth Olsen as the Scarlet Witch, still learning to control her hex-projecting (really) powers. Paul Bettany as Vision, the Infinity Stone-encrusted android (stay with me) who is struggling with his feelings for a teammate. And Evans, who is struggling with his feelings for a S.H.I.E.L.D. colleague with a connection to his (distant) past. So much struggling. So many feelings. So many faces. Stare at any one of them too long and your retinas will burn out. Even Martin Freeman — Bilbo Baggins, for crying out loud — gets a Slatteryesque silver-fox coif in this movie, as if a cameo by the real John Slattery weren't enough. And William Hurt, playing the official face of the U.N. oversight plan, looks hale enough to start filming Body Heat 2: Ragnarok tomorrow. If Feige lets the Russos make it, I'm there.

Blake Lively Baby

Blake Lively (Finally!) Debuts Her Baby Bump on Cannes Red Carpet

Blake Lively

Blake Lively stepped out for the premiere of her new movie, Café Society, at the 2016 Cannes Film Festival on Wednesday, wearing a stunning, body-hugging gown that made no effort to hide her baby bump.
Her ensemble was complemented by a soft, wavy hairstyle and silver sandals.
And though this isn’t the former Gossip Girl actress’ first foray onto a red carpet since news broke of her second pregnancy in April — she stepped out at the Met Gala earlier this month in Burberry, and Tuesday at Cannes in a camouflaging maxi dress — it is the first time she’s given a good glimpse at her baby belly.
“Blake is absolutely thrilled and so is Ryan,” a source close to Lively, 28, and her husband Ryan Reynolds, 39, told PEOPLE in April following the pregnancy news. The baby on the way will join the couple’s daughter, 16-month-old James.

Celebrity hacker

Celebrity hacker pleads guilty to charges

Alonzo Knowles stole explicit celebrity videos and unpublished film scripts

A hacker who stole explicit celebrity videos and unpublished film scripts has pleaded guilty to the charges. Alonzo Knowles also stole TV scripts and personal information, unreleased music and other content by tricking the data's owners. He managed to get hold of the files and photos by texting celebrities, telling them their accounts had been compromised and asked for their passwords so he could rectify the situation. Although the celebrities involved haven't been named, it is thought he managed to successfully scam around 130 film and TV actors, musicians and production staff and illegally access their information. The hack was uncovered only when Knowles contacted a New York radio host in December last year offering to sell him personal information and the first six episodes of a popular TV drama.
The host's executive producer alerted the Department of Homeland Security and an undercover agent set up a call with Knowles, who promised to provide "exclusive content" worth "hundreds of thousands of dollars," including copies of scripts for an unfilmed documentary and a new TV show. He also said he could provide the celebrity social security numbers, their email addresses, passports and other confidential information, plus 15 movie and TV scripts for the princely sum of $80,000 (£55,429).
The agents organised to meet the 23-year-old Bahamian in New York and, following the meeting, he was arrested. Knowles pleaded guilty to charges of criminal copyright infringement and identity theft in a New York court earlier this week and agreed to hand over the 25 unpublished scripts, stolen music and $1,900 (£1,316) in cash as part of his guilty plea. His sentencing will take place on 25 August.

Madonna's daughter modeling debut

Lourdes 'Lola' Leon Makes Modeling Debut for Stella McCartney: Madonna Reacts

Stepping into the spotlight! Madonna's daughter Lourdes Leon, aka Lola, has made her modeling debut, posing in front of the camera for her mom's pal Stella McCartney.
The 19-year-old, who has spent much of her life shying away from the public eye, agreed to take part in McCartney's latest campaign for her new perfume, Pop, because she approved of the message it was sending.
The campaign, which promotes self-acceptance and positive mutual support, is a conscious counterbalance to the potentially negative world of social media. Grimes, Kenya Kinski-Jones and Amanda Stenberg's involvement was announced previously.
“I go through this struggle myself, [where] women’s bodies have been made so public that everyone feels like they need to comment,” Leon told Vogue of the resonance she felt with Pop's be-true-to-yourself message of individuality. "I love when someone doesn’t pretend to be someone they are not," she added.
As news of her daughter's first foray into modeling broke, excited mom Madonna took to Instagram to share the first photograph to emerge from the campaign—a picture of Lourdes sporting lilac hair, a behind-the-scenes snap from the shoot.
"I miss this Beautiful Girl!" the excited Material Girl, 57, captioned the photograph. "Looking forward to seeing her very soon!"
McCartney shared another photograph from the campaign via Instagram on Friday, March 11, and used the caption to explain her relationship with, and respect for, Lola.
"So happy to have Lola on the POP team!" she captioned the photo. "Lola, who I’ve known her entire life, is at the beginning of her career as a performance artist. She’s an independent, inspirational and free-spirited young woman. Despite being born in the spotlight, she has kept her feet firmly on the ground! X Stella #POPNOW #LolaLeon," she wrote.
While things are going well for her eldest child, Lola, Madonna's family life isn't all smooth sailing right now. The performer broke down on stage last Friday, March 4, as she dedicated a song to her 15-year-old son, Rocco, who she's currently attempting to gain custody of in a battle against her ex-husband Guy Ritchie.

Inside Liz Cho and Josh Elliott’s engagement celebration

Inside Liz Cho and Josh Elliott’s engagement celebration - as they're joined by a beaming Katie Couric and her new husband.

• Elliott reportedly popped the question while he and his WABC anchor girlfriend, who are both 43, were vacationing in Europe early this month
• Elliott and Cho are both divorced with children from their previous marriages
• Mutual friend and Elliott's former co-worker Sam Champion tweeted about the engagement on Monday night
• The couple announced their forthcoming marriage to friends at CAA party

TV lovebirds Liz Cho and Josh Elliott chose a night out with high-powered TV pals including news queen Katie Couric to announce their engagement, MailOnline has learned.
The couple, who have kept their romance low-key for the past two years, celebrated at talent agency CAA's TV News party at Manhattan's Hudson Hotel on Monday night.
A beaming Katie, 57, was there with her new husband John Molner, and a source said: 'It was perfect timing. Liz and Josh just told people privately - there was no official announcement, but they were so happy to celebrate with close friends.'

The couple announced their engagement to friends and TV stars including Erica Hill, Ronan Farrow, CNN boss Jeff Zucker, GMA host George Stephanoupoulos, NBC's Kate Snow, Mark Halperin, MSNBC President Phil Griffin and Harry Smith.
Cho and Elliott, who are both 43, were vacationing in Europe earlier this month when Elliott proposed, reported Page Six.
Elliott's former GMA co-star Sam Champion confirmed the news via Twitter on Monday night.
'Im not going to b at work tomorrow. @JoshElliott32 and @LizCho7 announced their engagement tnite!!,' tweeted the Weather Channel anchor.
'Friends get no better,' Elliott, who's moved on from Good Morning America to NBC Sports, wrote of Champion.
Neither Elliott nor Cho have yet to directly confirm the good news, but both retweeted their good friend Champion's celebratory message. While Liz last night flaunted a simple gold band on her wedding finger as she went on air.

He and Cho have been together since after Cho's separation from her ex Evan Gottlieb in 2012. The couple have one daughter, Louisa Simone, aged seven, from their marriage.
Elliott has also been married previously to Priya Narang and the couple have a six-year-old daughter, Sarina.
According to the Page Six source: 'It’s been very low-key, and people may not have even realized she was engaged, because she’s not wearing a standard diamond engagement ring.'

Instead, it was reported that Elliott gave her a simple family heirloom gold band.
The couple met while both were at ABC--Elliott with GMA Cho at New York affiliate WABC, where she remains.
Elliott announced his departure from ABC early this year after what were widely reported as 'heated' contract negotiations between the California native and the Disney-owned network.
He now covers a range of sports at NBC.
Cho has been an anchor at WABC news since 2003.
