Kate Hudson: got abs?

Kate Hudson showing off her awesome abs after a workout. Please remember folks, this is a woman who gained 60 lbs during pregnancy. Nice job, Kate.

Fergie pumps some SERIOUS iron

Bwahahahaha. I'm sorry, but I'm just not buying Fergie's grimace as she flaps those 3 lb dumbbells around. Like I've said before: Honey, your HANDBAG weighs more than that. Hey, whatever works I guess, although I think she's wasting her time there with those teeny weights. It looks like she's still running with plenty of fluids on hand, which is smart. And whatever she's doing is working; her legs look great.

Paris walks it out

Oh Paris. How can you not love this girl? Who else would wear a sequined top, designer shades and lip gloss to "work out"? Perhaps in preparation for her stint in jail, Paris was spotted out with her trainer recently doing some serious stretching, water-drinking and bike-walking. Phew. You are HARD CORE, girl.

Nicole can't workout in peace

Nicole Richie was mobbed by photographers as she left the gym last Friday. I wonder what kind of workout she does without a bra? Yoga?

Gwyneth's pilates body

Matty Pants is back, and bendy

Matthew McConaughey takes the beach bum lifestyle so seriously that he's actually living in a trailer on the beach. And doing yoga while wearing headphones. Maybe he and Fergie could be workout partners.

Fergie's outdoor gym

AGAIN with all the ridiculous equipment. Fergie is the Matty Pants of 2007. I mean, I'm glad she's getting her exercise in, but this looks more like a show of exercise than exercise itself. And what the heck is this? She's lifting like 3-pound weights? What the heck is that going to do for her?? Honey your HANDBAG weighs more than that.

Eva Longoria is a snoop

Eva Longoria leads some women on a hike, or a slow jog, or some spying on her neighbors or something. Whatever it is they're doing, they sure look cute in their TBP (Tight Black Pants).

No wonder Fergie's so thirsty

Fergie and her boyfriend Josh are still working out outside, and she's still wearing her ridiculous getups. Headphones, full track suit, hat and a belt of sports drinks. We're just doing a little calisthenics in the park, not climbing a mountain here, hon.

Today's cellulite brought to you by: Paris Hilton

Yep. Paris was photographed "working out" during a scene for her new movie "The Hottie and the Nottie". She's looking pretty skinny fat here, which means she probably actually doesn't work out regularly, AND she is sporting our favorite leveler of the rich and famous: cellulite. Check out more pictures of Paris working out after the link below.

Jared Leto texts at the gym

Apparently, Jared Leto doesn't take his gym workouts very seriously. Or he takes keeping in touch at all times via text messages even more seriously. In any case, he was spotted at the gym, texting between sets.

Fergi and Josh Duhamel need a lot of stuff to work out

Fergie wears a matching track suit, a fuzzy hat, an iPod with big headphones and a utility belt full of Gatorade bottles to work out in the park with boyfriend Josh Duhamel. She looks ready to climb a mountain. This is what I would call teh overkill. Look, she even brought some green dumbbells with her! Can you feel the burn?

Jennifer Aniston's yoga workout

A spread in Self magazine reveals how Jennifer Aniston finds balance with yoga. A runner for years, Jennifer turned to yoga after her marriage to Brad Pitt ended, and found that yoga can kick your ass. The magazine gives a combo cardio/yoga workout that can be done 3 days a week, with a suggestion to throw in some interval training on off days if your goal is weight loss. You can download Jen's trainer's workouts on your iPod here.

Elizabeth Berkeley lunges it out

At everyone's favorite Brentwood gym-with-the-brick-wall, Elizabeth Berkeley partakes of the outdoor patio celebrity lunge-tastic workout package.

Looks like she's really feeling the burn! Or just being chatty, which means she isn't working out hard enough. Get your money's worth, girl! Lunge it like Biel!

Wait a second, are you seeing what I'm seeing? Has a new amigo joined the club? Could this be the new three amigos? I can see it now: RDJ donning spandex and cycling in the hills, or running shirtless on the boardwalk ... oh, it's good to be an amigo.

Britney buckles down

Britney Spears is making a final, last-ditch attempt to get in shape in time for her husband Kevin Federline's album release at the end of the month. A la Katie Holmes, she's lined up nannies, trainers and nutritionists to help her blast away the post-baby weight so she can wow everyone at K-Fed's release party. Considering the end of the month is two weeks away, I hope she's being realistic with her expectations.

Kirsten Dunst needs to be clued in

Kirsten Dunst claims she doesn't diet or exercise regularly because she wants to be "sexy, not sleazy." OK, that's fine Kiki, but has anyone filled you in yet that this only works until you are about 25 years old? After that, if you don't diet or exercise regularly, you will be dumpy, if not lumpy.

I'm just sayin'.

Also, careful who you're calling sleazy.

Carson Daly jumps on

Manorexic Carson Daly bought a super fancy bicycle, a serious cycling outfit and some expensive shoes. He's got the helmet, the shades, and the high-tech wrist-protecting gloves. So why won't Lance, Jake and Mattie come play with him?

If it's Wednesday, Jessica Biel must be at the gym

Let's start the day off with a Jessica Biel post, shall we? This girl is inspiring.

Brangelina can't have it all

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were unsuccessful in their attempt to exercise all by themselves recently. The couple reportly asked the Beverly Hills Sports Club LA to shut down for a few hours so they could workout there in peace. HA, you may get away with that in an African country guys, but this is LA. People NEED their gym access.

Reese's excess baggage

Reese Witherspoon hauls a lot of crap with her to yoga. See, this is why I won't be caught dead doing yoga. I think carrying around rolled-up mats looks totally dorky. Or I guess I mean sheep-like. If I could, I would carry around my large barbells just to prove that I'm different. But those things are heavy.

Jessica Biel could be a black belt/ninja/super robot/killing machine

Headband? Check. Gym patio with brick wall? Check. Insanely buff actress? Check. Crazy lunging routine with what looks like some capoeira mixed in? You got it. Jessica Biel's the one who needs her one fitness DVD.

Matthew McConaughey's workout DVD!!!

NO JOKE. It all makes sense now. The surfing, the frisbee, the beach yoga, the running and the monkey bars.  Mattie Pants is preparing to make his own fitness DVD. GET ME ON THE WAITING LIST FOR THIS ONE IMMEDIATELY. It goes without saying that Dude has enlisted the help of his BFF Lance Armstrong for the program, which will advise men on how to have a healthy lifestyle and get a buff surfer's bod. I CAN'T WAIT FOR THIS.

Biel is buff!

Yes, we all know it, but let's look at some more pictures of Jessica Biel's muscles just for fun. Those guys she's with are probably scared she might decide to kick their asses, just because she can.

Tom Cruise's extreme measures

In other boyfriend-concerned-with-girlfriend's-weight news, Tom Cruise is "very concerned" with Katie Holmes's physique and wants it back to tip-top shape pronto. Apparently he will do "anything it takes" to get her in shape, including making her exercise non-stop while babysitters care for their daughter Suri. Supposedly Katie is now weight lifting, which she was "unable to do while pregnant." Huh? Why? Unless there are complications that contraindicate it, pregnant women can lift weights. I mean, haven't you seen Heidi Klum hauling her clan around on her hip while pregnant with her third child?

Even buffer than ever

Who is that? Why, she's positively ripped! Those are some serious, serious back muscles. Why it's none other than our favorite gym rat, Jessica Biel! Gosh, I bet she could beat Mattie Pants in a wrestling match. Nice work, girlie.

Jessica Biel is a Man, Baby! [Yeeeah!]

Matthew Fox tries to keep up

Looks like Matthew Fox wants to be the fourth Amigo. He was recently photographed running and biking, and he was even wearing Mattie's favorite kind of bulgy shorts. He is trying so hard, I just want to hand him a Gatorade. I really hope Matthew, Jake and Lance let him join their club!

Matthew McConaughey doesn't quit!

I think Matthew McConaughey is beginning to freak us out a little bit with his constant exercising and refusal to shave. Perez is on the right track, though, my theory is Mattie is training for "Castaway 2," or a similar film. I loved Castaway, and think Tom Hanks was great in it. Supposedly he spent all day on the treadmill for about a year so he could lose the weight he had gained specifically for the first half of the movie in order to film the second half of the movie. Call me nuts, but ever since Black Beauty, the idea of being stranded alone on a desert island and having to fend for one's survival has held a strange appeal for me. And no, I have never tried out for Survivor, because the key to that fantasy is the alone part.

According to IMDB, Mattie is scheduled to begin shooting an adventure romance with Kate Hudson in Australia this month. I guess the script calls for some serious stunts.

Penelope Cruz is a sporty girl

Penelope Cruz sported workout gear recently after a visit to the gym. Apparently she is one of those women who looks good in anything, even sneakers and running pants. Sigh. Hm, I don't think she'll  ever catch up with her old beau Mattie in the sporty department, though.

Jessica Biel and Kate Beckinsale really are twins!

Finally, a side-by-side comparison of Jessica Biel's and Kate Beckinsale's workout wear! Now, I know Kate doesn't favor headbands the way Jessica does, but they both workout at the same gym and both like stretchy black pants, as The Bastardly points out, comparing shot after shot of the two actresses in similar attire. I'm surprised they haven't become workout buddies. Maybe Kate hates dogs.

Courtney Cox is dressed like she's ready for another run, but she's actually shopping. For carpet.

Gwen Stefani's working hard

Here are more pictures of Gwen Stefani jogging in the Meat Packing District in New York City last week. There she goes past Pastis. I love her open-handed running style (it's recommended to keep your fists relaxed while running) and her blingy shades. It kind of looks like she's trying to dry her manicure, though. She's still got Mr. Frowny with her.
