Mr. Kline Goes to Washington

IN THE MOVIE "Dave," Kevin Kline plays a dead ringer for the President of the United States who's enlisted to assume the world's most powerful gig after the real prez falls ill. Today, Kline's back in D.C., but not for laughs. The star joined a group of kids coping with type 1 diabetes to lobby lawmakers to boost federal funding for research, as ABC News reports. Type 1 diabetes affects an estimated 3 million Americans, with 15,000 kids diagnosed every year. "With each exciting new stage that children with type 1 diabetes reach—whether it be starting kindergarten, going to summer camp, learning to drive or going off to college—there is a mom, dad or loved one looking over their shoulder worrying about their safety," Kline said. "Many of these parents have become advocates, so that one day their child won't have to deal with diabetes anymore."

The Ageless Tom Jones

ANOTHER SENIOR STAR is shutting the mouths of us younger ones complaining about how hard it is to stay in shape the older we get. Tom Jones, 71, recently turned to the low-carb "caveman diet" to shed 30 pounds in five months, as the blog Celebrity Health & Fitness reports. "With the Christmas puddings and cakes, before I knew it I was 230 pounds, which was 30 pounds more than I should be," said the singer, adding, "I couldn’t get into my suits. That’s when I thought, this has got to stop." So while "it's not unusual" to pack on a few extra pounds later in life, Jones clearly is a silver celeb nowhere near ready to relinquish his title of eternal sex symbol. Or those skintight pants.

Celebrity Diet Secrets Revealed!

NOW THERE'S A headline that's sold many a tabloid and celebrity weekly, half of them having to do with Oprah Winfrey. (We bet we also made you look just now.) Searching "Hollywood diet secrets" on Google produces more than a million results. Frankly, we thought it would be even more. As long as there have been celebrities, there has, of course, been a public fascination with their health and fitness successes, struggles and secrets. Which is why The Times of India today recaps some of the hottest Hollywood diet trends past and present, from the oh-so now (the high-protein Dukan Diet, popularized by Kate Middleton) to the old hat (the calorie-counting Weight Watchers, favored by the likes of its current pitch-celeb Jennifer Hudson). Considering the mass of reporting out there about celebrity weight management, you'd think we'd all tire of lapping up every rich detail of movie stars' waist sizes, muscle tone and BMI. But, apparently not. Why, before you know it there will even be a clever and informative blog devoted to Hollywood health and fitness.

Who Are the Fittest Celebrity Dads?

THE MOMMY BLOG The Stir is marking Father's Day with a rundown of the fittest Hollywood dads, with soccer superstar David Beckham topping the list of "hot celeb fathers who are likely awesome fitness role models for their kiddos." Rounding out the rankings: Brad Pitt, Will Smith, Ben Affleck, Tom Brady and Matthew McConaughey. These guys are most definitely role models when it comes to daddies who make health and fitness as well as fatherhood a priority. So to these guys and to all you fathers managing to achieve rock-hard abs in between those verses of "Rock-A-Bye Baby," rock on!

The Stars Are Hot for Tantric

ON THE HEELS of the revelation by that august journalistic institution The National Enquirer that Chelsea Clinton and her betrothed Mark Mezvinsky have turned to tantric sex techniques to fix their allegedly rocky relationship, the blog The Frisky reports that they're but the latest famous couple to "explore the ancient art of transcendent, sexual healing." Also among reported devotees of the age-old coital custom from the East: Sting, Jessica Simpson, Scarlett Johansson, the late JFK Jr. and P. Diddy (who has even tweeted about his tantric exploits). Save for Sting (long married to Trudie Styler), most of these individuals are, as it happens, as famous for their serial lovers as for their day jobs. Leading us to wonder: could they be looking to tantric as the key, finally, to romantic and relationship bliss, or have they simply run out of conventional carnal configurations?

Even With Her Lips, You Will Never Be Her

DR. TONY YOUN, a plastic surgeon who's been featured on "Dr. 90210," tells MSNBC that while many of his patients come to him for, say, Ashlee Simpson's nose or Beyonce's rear end, body parts typically look best on the original owner. Youn, who writes a blog about celebrity cosmetic surgery, says many everyday Joes and Janes wanting to look like Brad and Angelina suffer from body dysmorphic disorder, in which person is obsessed with his or her appearance and typically sees him or herself completely differently than others do. Writes Youn: "To a person with BDD, a small bump on the nose appears to be the size of a melon. These troubled individuals undergo multiple plastic surgeries in misguided attempts to correct deformities that don’t exist. People who suffer from BDD sometimes define physical perfection in terms of a celebrity whose photo they bring to a plastic surgeon’s office. They’re never happy until, in their minds, they look exactly like that celeb." Speaking of Brad and Angelina, they happen, unsurprisingly, to be the stars men and women say they'd most like to be surgically altered to look like, according to International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons. Funny, we would have figured Joe Pesci and Dr. Laura.

'Mommyrexia' Latest Ugly Hollywood Trend

NEW MOMMIES GOING to extreme lengths to shed the baby fat is nothing new, but an alarming new trend in Hollywood has even mothers-to-be like Victoria Beckham, January Jones and Rachel Zoe, who should be eating for two, "barely eating for one," as London's Daily Mail reports. It's so in vogue, in fact, that it has been given a name, "mommyrexia," and given way to a cottage industry devoted to making sure not only new moms but expectant ones maintain their pre-baby-bump bodies. Needless to say, health experts are alarmed, with mental health experts also weighing in. One psychiatrist notes, perhaps unnecessarily, that women "whose beauty is part of their allure" are most at risk. Making for another ugly trend from a town where beauty reigns.
