Loveable comedian Jason Segel, recently announced that he was forced to lose weight for his upcoming role in the movie “The Five Year Engagement.” In the film, Segel plays fiance to actress Emily Blunt, and admitted that losing the weight was no light order, dropping more than 30 pounds from his 6’4″ frame.
Segel says the weight loss orders came directly from the film studio president because ‘it had to be conceivable that Emily Blunt would choose me to be her husband, which I thought was far enough.’
On a recent appearance on The David Letterman Show, Segel says he reached his lowest moment being overweight while he was working in New Orleans and indulging in too much food and alcohol. His assistant awoke him one morning from a pile of Taco Bell wrappers and documented the scene with a slough of pictures. “This is me at my worst,” joked Segel, pointing out his large stomach hanging over his pants.
As far as losing the weight goes, Segel says he went about it the old fashioned way. “It’s exactly what you think it is and it’s horrible. You just exercise and eat less and don’t drink very much.”

Today, People Magazine announced its annual list of the World’s Most Beautiful Women; the magazine hits newsstands tomorrow, April 27. Gracing the 2012 cover is new mom and Hollywood super star Beyonce, who will be joined by nearly 180 other women who define beauty.
The top ten list includes some of the biggest television, music, and movie stars of the past year. What we like about all of them, including Miranda Lambert, Charlize Theron, and Christina Hendricks, is that they all embrace fit, active, healthy lifestyles. None of them are doing anything too extreme and all trying to practice moderation for the most part, not an easy task in the land of indulgence.
We’ve rounded up the diet and fitness techniques of this year’s top 10 most beautiful women.
Most people get up and run first thing in the morning. Comedian Jimmy Fallon tweeted about it. The first tweet from his @JimmyFallon account this morning was asking his more than 5.3 million followers which app he could use to start running a 5K.
“Any good ‘learn to run a 5k’ apps out there that you guys like? Theres a bunch, but which one is good?”
It sounds like the late night talk show host wants get up from behind the desk and move a bit more. Maybe the visit from President Obama, aka the Preezy of the United Steezy, inspired him to go after the PALA, the Presidential Active Lifestyle Award. He has already worked out with Michelle Obama. Or maybe he’s setting us up for an awesome bit on the show. We tweeted out a request to find out what his motivation is, but haven’t yet heard back.
App suggestions of course poured in, as did one message to skip the app altogether. @FatTonysMacbook suggested, “You could always just…run,” to which Fallon replied, “nah… too easy.”
Nothing worth having ever came easy, Jimmy!

After staying tucked inside for most of her pregnancy and several months post delivery, actress Jennifer Garner stepped out and turned heads with her amazing post-baby body at a recent film event in Las Vegas.
Garner, 39, and husband Ben Affleck just welcomed their third child on Frebruary 27 – a baby boy named Samuel Garner Affleck. Based off all of the reports, their baby is healthy and doing well – as is mom. Samuel makes the first boy of their little brood, and will play little brother to big sisters Seraphina, 3, and Violet, 6.
Garner proudly showed off her healthy post-baby figure in a lace nude Dolce and Gabanna dress at the CinemaCon Festival in Vegas, where she is slated to receive the 2012 CinemaCon Female Star of the Year Award.
We reported several weeks back that Jen was taking her time to shed her post-pregnancy weight, which we were happy to see. It’s not every day that you see a celebrity mom taking time away for her family and not rushing to fit back into a red carpet dress.
To get back in shape post-baby gradually, Garner walks a ton. And not to mention while carrying kids, which is an arm workout in itself. But she also invites a yoga instructor to her home several times a week so she can ease back into the routine of being active.

It’s not often that we do two sets of before and after pictures, let alone in reverse. But such is the case with Hollywood funny man Jonah Hill who dropped an estimated 40-plus pounds last year but has since put it all back on, and then some.
Twenty five-year-old Hill, who has starred in such movies as Super Bad and Moneyball, slimmed down for his role in the new film 21 Jump Street – a police action comedy that was just released in March.
To slim down for the role, Hill reportedly consulted a nutritionist and personal trainer to shed the pounds since going it alone wasn’t working, and he even gained a little weight in his early attempts.
After slimming down, however, Hill reportedly told The Los Angeles Times that his new, trimmer self ‘hurt’ a bit when he indulged in something unhealthy, and that he was growing to enjoy his new, healthier lifestyle.
