      It's so hot out that you feel too sticky to move, let alone work out. But if you want to stay in bikini shape throughout the rest of the summer, you have to maintain your fitness routine. It's the only way you'll make it to September with a smile on your face, thinking, "That was an amazing summer, and I looked great the entire time."

      We spoke with Celebrity Fitness Trainer Kacy Duke, who has the tips and tricks you need to keep your motivation up. She's worked with Hollywood hard bodies like Denzel Washington, Rachel Weisz, Mary J. Blige, and more. Her fitness philosophy focuses on "showing your body love" in order to reach your weight-loss and fitness goals.

    • Schmucks We'd Like to You-Know-What

      You know how to rhyme don't you?
      - Shari Goldhagen, BettyConfidential.com

      This week Steve Carell hits the big screen playing yet another lost loser in Dinner for Schmucks. And while we concede that sometimes his character's stupidity makes us want to punch him in the face, there's always a little something redeeming there that makes us want to do, well, do other things with this schmuck.

      Here's a list of other schmucks we inexplicably want to do.

      1. Adam Sandler

      This funny man had been getting laughs on SNL for years, but he really won us over with his insightful commentary about bath products in 1995s's Billy Madison.

      "Shampoo is better. I go on first and clean the hair. Conditioner is better. I leave the hair silky and smooth. Oh, really, fool?"

      For some reason we want to jump in that bath with him and have him condition our hair.

      Sure, he's not exactly buff and his jaw line might be a

      The stars give their little ones summer treats.
      - Jane Farrell, BettyConfidential.com

      Every parent knows the joys of kids and summer: the pool, the park, the long days of play-and lots of treats (mostly ice cream). The classic American ice-cream truck isn't making the rounds in Hollywood or downtown Manhattan, but these famous parents are making sure their kids don't miss out on frozen goodies-and even the occasional cookie or candy.

    • Online Dating Veteran: The False Advertiser

      Everyone looks better online, but this is ridiculous.
      - Lauren Rich, BettyConfidential.com

      Lauren Rich is an online dating veteran, having logged many hours winking, messaging, and doing the dreaded "meeting in person." Here, she shares some her most memorable experiences with internet dating and why everyone should be as truthful as possible on their profile.

      A little while back I had started chatting with a guy on freebie dating site POF. (Although I have since deleted my profile after repeated garbage dates and messages with the subject "hey sexxxxy.")

      I was pretty psyched. Not only had TFA written me a well thought-out, cohesive message, he had a decent profile and well, looked pretty darn good in his pictures (especially the one of him shirtless on a boat). We messaged back and forth for about a week before he asked if he could pick me up that Friday for an ice-skating date. As a former figure skater of 8 years, I'm not gonna lie: I had always, always wanted to

    • The Online Dating Newbie: This Is Why I Was Hesitant About Online Dating

      I'm only a few weeks in to my online dating experiment, and I'm already running into trouble.
      - Faye Brennan, BettyConfidential.com

      Betty's own assistant editor made the brave decision a few weeks ago to lose her online dating virginity and embark on an experiment looking for love (or just a fling) on the Internet. Here, she chronicles the frustrations, surprises, and excitement of shopping for a beau online.

      It's been a few weeks since I started my online dating experiment. I went from being an online dating virgin to having a profile on three different sites (Zoosk, DateBritishGuys, and HowAboutWe) overnight. Although I went into the venture feeling very optimistic, I can't say I feel the same way now. I set out hoping to find cool guys to hang out with - maybe a hottie or two to casually date, or perhaps even something more serious if it got that far - but so far, not so good.

      I'm running into some of the same obstacles and downfalls that used to be the reasons why

    • Angelina Jolie: "Brad and I Have to Schedule Alone Time. But It's Worth It"

      Angie opens up to Betty about Brad Pitt, work, love, life and their children.
      - Cindy Pearlman, BettyConfidential.com

      "You know, you can't really train to jump off a building," Angelina Jolie advises. "You can't learn how to hang that high in the sky. You just go."

      She waits as you make mental notes of this solid life advice.

      "I did have a moment where I thought about my life," she says. "I had the babies about a year before filming and then I took 12 months off. This action scene was part of my big return. I was hanging off that ledge thinking, 'What am I doing up here? I'm someone's mother!'"

      In Salt, Mama Jolie plays a CIA agent who is accused by a Russian operative of being one of them. Is she a spy or just misunderstood? Either way, Salt must go on the run where she smacks into an assassination plot against the leader of the Soviet Union, a nuke situation and holds the life of the president of the United

    • I Was a Brazilian Wax Virgin

      Oh the pain, the pain! Was the wax worth it?
      - PJ Gach, BettyConfidential.com

      I remember years ago watching Sex and the City, when Carrie went to LA for her book tour and got her first Brazilian. She didn't call it that; she implied that she was "bare down there." I didn't pay much attention, but my girlfriends did, and as fast as you can pull a cloth strip from your skin, everyone was doing it.

      Everyone but me. I had been sticking with the basic bikini wax. That is, when I remembered and had time. Truthfully, the only time I even bothered was when I was dating. No one complained that I wasn't bald, so I didn't bother.

      What made me change my mind and decide to do it? Curiosity, plain and simple. I wanted to see what the fuss was all about. A Brazilian, if you don't know, is when they take off everything "down there." Yes, we're talking waxing your labia majora and the skin between your butt cheeks.

      I made an appointment for my first Brazilian at Completely Bare,

    • What We Learned From Men's Magazines in July

      They want a summer fling just as much as we do, "hate" that we wear such little clothing in the hot weather, and more.
      - Faye Brennan, BettyConfidential.com

      Don't worry, we didn't forget to give you this month's update on what we learned about guys from their own magazines. We admit, we were a little preoccupied with our trip to Las Vegas, where it turns out you can learn a lot about the opposite sex. But, you should know by now that what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.

      So, for the gems about men that can only be found within the pages of GQ, Maxim, Men's Health, and more, just keep reading. We promise what we found when reading these is just as juicy as what we discovered in Sin City.
