The US Weekly Cover

The new issue of Us Weekly features the best diet tips from celebrity dietitians and trainers to the stars to get fit in the new year, and the cover story is an interview with Kourtney Kardashian where she opens up about her 44-pound weight loss since the birth of her daughter, Penelope. About easing into working out slower with this pregnancy she says, “I really didn’t feel the pressure. Last time, once the doctor said it was fine to work out, I started running. This time, I waited a few weeks past the OK and then started slowly doing some yoga.” And the encouragement from sister Kim Kardashian has helped. “If she wasn’t scheduling the workouts, I probably wouldn’t have been as motivated. There are times when I’d say, ‘I’ll wake up at 9 when everyone else is getting up.’ But she’ll be like, ‘We’re working out.’ If one of us isn’t in the mood, we push each other.” And as for staying positive, she says, “I definitely had some moments when the weight was at a standstill. It was frustrating and I’d start to wonder, Am I ever going to get my body back? Then I’d be like, OK, you just had two kids. Take it easy.” Please find more here: http://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-body/news/kourtney-kardashian-loses-44-pounds-in-6-months-how-she-got-thin-201321

BETHENNY & JASON: ‘Devastated’ by the Split

The separated couple share daughter Bryn for lonely holidays

The coparenting has begun. One day after Bethenny Frankel announced her separation from husband of nearly three years Jason Hoppy, he took daughter Bryn, 2, to his folks’ house in Pennsylvania December 24. “Bethenny was devastated to be away from Bryn on Christmas, but she agreed it was best for her to see her grandparents,” a pal of Frankel, 42, tells Hot Stuff. Though Hoppy, 41, brought Bryn to a mall to sit on Santa’s lap, he was mostly bah humbug. “Jason was so bummed, he didn’t want to see friends,” says a second insider. Two thousand miles away in Aspen, Colorado, “Bethenny kept saying she couldn’t wait to hug Bryn,” says the first source. That moment came December 26, when Bryn arrived to spend New Year’s with Mom. Come 2013, though, Bryn has her parents under one roof again. “There are no plans yet for him to move out of their NYC loft,” says an insider, adding that Frankel’s talk show will tape in the city this fall. “She fought to have it shoot in New York to make sharing custody easier.”

RHOA’S KENYA MOORE: She Faked Her Romance

Kenya Moore’s life isn’t as “Gone with the Wind–fabulous” as she proclaims. A source tells Hot Stuff the Real Housewives of Atlanta villainess, 41, “faked her relationship” with onscreen boyfriend Walter Jackson this season. “It’s all acting,” says the source. “He’s dating a young singer.” Jackson himself is over the charade, as he confirmed the deception during a December 10 radio interview. “We dated about three years ago . . . for about three months,” the towing company owner confessed on Atlanta’s V-103. “Then, in April, I got a text. She said . . . ‘What if you played my boyfriend on the show?’ She told me it’s like acting.” Moore’s response? She tells Us Jackson’s claims are “completely false” but admits she’s moved on. “I can do better than Walter. And I will.”

Posh’s Polite Posse!

Who knew the Beckham boys’ manners would be so, well, posh? Famously diva-esque Victoria Beckham “has really raised them right,” a source tells Hot Stuff of the star’s sons, Brooklyn, 13, Romeo, 10, and Cruz, 7. The little etiquette aces “say ‘please’ and ‘thank you’ to everyone,” adds the insider, who has seen them served at Nobu Los Angeles. “They gently say ‘excuse me’ and ask for whatever they need — and it’s all even cuter with their accents!”
