Right now I kind of look like Jennifer Garner in these pictures. My hair is dirty and pulled back all messy, I’m wearing similar glasses, and I have on sweatpants and a sweatshirt. I am sitting in my house blogging though, and I plan on taking a shower and putting on some gloss and mascara before I go out later. That’s not to say I haven’t gone out like this before. Garner is so refreshingly mom-like that she seems to have redeemed herself for complaining about her gorgeous body. (In what some commentors pointed out was an older interview before she got super fit again.)

She could put on some nicer clothing next time, but who cares? Garner is dressed normal while she’s out for exercise with her daughter and that’s pretty cool to see. Better she should go out with her baby in some mildly unflattering clothes and a bra than show off her mommy parts while leaving her child with the help for days at a time.

Jennifer Garner claims she’s in the worst shape ever and that her trainer is ashamed. I know she’s just trying to be honest and make the rest of us feel better, but she’s not doing herself any favors by making it sound like she’s a size 12, not a six. She says “Oh, it’s more like an eight,” but look at her – she’s a small six.

She seems to be a little embarassed by the old rumor that she was pregnant when she didn’t shed her baby weight right away and was spotted out in floaty tops. I’m sorry for perpetuating that rumor, especially now that she feels compelled to tell everyone how out of shape she is while denying that she’s pregnant again. Garner, come on, you’re hot.

“I’m in the worst shape ever,” the size 6-8 (“definitely more an 8″) actress, 34, tells Elle magazine in its January issue. “My trainer just shakes her head and says, ‘This is a disaster.’ ”

Though she kicked butt as the star of Alias and Elektra, these days, she says, “I am as physically unfit as I’ve probably been in my whole life. It’s such a horror in front of the mirror with no clothes on.”

Lifting her sweater to reveal her midriff, she says, “You still have that little bit of extra skin, know what I mean? But still, it’s enough for people to think that you’re knocked up.”

She adds: “No, everyone calm down. Nobody’s pregnant” – although Affleck recently told Ellen DeGeneres he would love to have more kids.

For now, Garner has her hands full with one baby. Violet “is saying ‘ee-i-ee-i-o’ – and ‘mama!’ ” boasts Garner, who says having a baby didn’t wreak havoc in her marriage.

It’s possible this interview is from like 6-8 weeks ago when she was maybe seven pounds heavier, but still I wish I was in as bad shape as Garner. I can relate to what she’s saying, and in a way it’s nice to know that even super-fit Hollywood moms are insecure about their bodies. On the other hand it kind of makes me feel like crap. She does deserve a lot of credit for doing it the right way and not getting super-skinny right away.

Here are cute pictures of Jen and Violet celebrating Violet’s first birthday out at a restaurant with the nanny. She was out at Amici in Brentwood and gave some presents to Violet there. Ben was not out with them, but they probably had another celebration with the whole family back at home.

Matthew McConaughey was snapped working out on one of Australia’s Gold Coast beaches, where he is filming “Fool’s Gold” with Kate Hudson. McConaughey recently said that he grew his unkempt beard for his role in the film. McConaughey and Hudson play divorced treasure hunters who just about give up their search for a huge fortune when one promising clue brings them back together.

There was a rumor a few months ago that McConaughey was making a men’s fitness DVD which would focus on outdoor exercises and a healthy lifestyle, but nothing seems to have come of that.

Madonna’s human cargo may have arrived early in the morning on 10/17, but she had plenty of time to take off to go to pilates class that day. She couldn’t be bothered to hire a trainer to come over to her place so that she could avoid the publicity of going out to the gym. She could have even popped in an exercise DVD or ran on one of the many treadmills scattered throughout her mansion. Instead she had to follow her workout routine and give the paps more fugly pictures to print. What a great mom she’s going to make.

(In case you haven’t noticed, I enjoy stirring up controversy. Obviously I don’t like Madonna, but whether I personally vilify her or not for handing off her precious half-orphan to a nanny so she can go to the gym on his first day in London is up to debate.)

Britney Spears must have read our fantasy celebrity futures wish list, because she’s hired a team of nannies, nutritionists, and trainers, and is working out furiously to drop the baby weight in time for K-Fed’s Halloween CD release party:

Let me put in another unpaid plug for Best Shape of Your Life, because you can drop weight quickly in less than three hours total a week – including cardio – at the gym. It’s all about eating right and lifting heavy weights to shape your body quickly.

Britney would work out for hours on end, though. She doesn’t seem to quite get the concept that you need to cut calories too and that mocha frappuccinos are fattening. Let’s hope that she’s hired good people and that she’s not sabotaging her efforts by trying to do too much too soon. There was a rumor that she had a tummy tuck after SPF2′s (?) birth, and that could have been true.

When Halloween rolls around we’re set to find out if Britney had a boy or a girl, what the infant’s name is, and how fast Britney can lose weight. K-Fed’s album will undoubtedly be ignored at his CD release party as everyone talks about his wife and latest spawn, and that’s sure to piss him off.

The fake People covers featuring Britney were found on BreatheHeavy.com.

While her husband relaxes with a good spliff (not that there’s anything wrong with that,) Reese prefers to get all bendy and new age doing yoga. (And if her husband’s into it maybe she enjoys a toke afterwards, as commentor Viv wonders.)

I’ve done my share of yoga, but I’m not into that bikram stuff where it’s all hot and unbearable. My aunt swears by it, but I can only stand the sauna for ten minutes so I’m not sure how I would tolerate doing poses under those conditions. Salma Hayek told a story on David Letterman’s show about how she tried to do Bikram yoga and was grossed out by other people’s sweat dripping from the ceiling. (Yes that’s random, but I can’t bring myself to just publish pictures without including some kind of news, so forgive me.)

Yoga-loving Reese is set to star in a new movie with Jake Gyllenhaal, a Middle East political thriller called “Rendition.” It starts filming in November.

The Sun claims that Matthew McConaughey has a good reason to work out constantly - he’s planning to release a men’s fitness and lifestyle DVD and will ask his friend Lance Armstrong to help him out:

This could be true, but I wouldn’t be surprised it was completely made up and there is no source at all. I would pay for this DVD dearly, though, just to um, be able to review it for you guys.

Hopefully Matt grew the nasty unkempt beard in order to make his planned fitness DVD reveal have more of an impact. He’s distracting from his hot body with this mountain man look, and maybe he planned it that way.

Matt was photographed with an uncharacteristic paunch at his fourth of July party this year. He also seemed drunk and out of it in pictures that came out of him partying in Costa Rica earlier in the summer. It took him no time at all to shake that little bit of belly and he seems to have spent his entire summer doing sweaty sports with his guy pals.

Hey that could explain why he’s been brushing his teeth in public too – he wants to focus on men’s grooming and personal care as well as how to get a hot body. That or he just had wicked cotton mouth.

Here are pictures of Matt working out. Thanks to I’m Not Obsessed for posting them, and x17 and SplashNews for taking them.

Britney Spears has fired her publicisit, Leslie Sloan Zelnick, and has brokered a $2 million deal by herself with People Magazine for the rights to the first pictures of SPF2 (Name borrowed from DListed). Spears wasn’t accepting much-needed help from Zelnick anyway, and showed up for her interview with Matt Lauer looking even trashier than she eventually appeared.

Page Six is reporting that Britney has refused to confirm that her new baby is named Sutton Pierce, and that the world won’t know the truth until the People spread comes out:

It seems like the tot probably does have the same initials as his one year-older brother, though. Life and Style reports that Britney shelled out six figures to redecorate the room that Sean Preston shares with his new baby brother, and that she had giant “SPF” intials painted on the wall:

We’ll have to see what Britney named the little one, and it’s hopefully not as bad as the girl’s name she was said to have picked out, “Jailynn.”

Star Magazine has an article titled “Britney’s plan to drop the weight fast,” which you can access below. It basically has no insider information and is just general diet and exercise tips and the fact that Britney wants to lose weight.

A Dutch priest used his home phone to call in a bomb threat for a Madonna concert in Amsterdam and was easily caught. Police realized right away that the threat was a hoax and Madonna got more publicity for her tired gimmick making fun of the old Christian boys’ network.

Madonna gets rich off the same schtick for 20 years, and these dumb old priests just play into her hands.

Here she is outside the gym in one of her gorgeous tracksuits and baseball hats. Her husband, the hapless Guy Richie, is also shown after working out. [via]

I was going to add an “h” to the title, but figured everyone already knew that she was a whiner. People know she’s a wino too, as Gwyneth was spotted no less than two times imbibing in public during the late stages of her pregnancy with little Mortimer Moses. She now says she enjoys a little quiet time in her garden at night with a glass of Pinot Noir, the stuff made famous by the movie “Sideways”. There’s nothing wrong with that, and I’m just trying to spin it into something more controversial because there’s not a lot of news about Gwyneth, so don’t flame me:

Gwyneth was also spotted out taking surfing lessons of all things while on the beach in Cornwall near her in-laws place:

Here she is outside her North London gym. A commentor on Lime-Light, where I found the pictures, notes that it’s the same gym Madonna goes to. Gwyneth looks great, her hair is gorgeous and there’s nothing wrong with a little wine. Hell I only have one kid and I enjoy imbibing in, uh, moderation.
