Christina Applegate on Shine

When Is It OK To Go Braless?

Now here’s a dilemma I’ve never had to worry about since l was 12 and grew size-C boobs one night in the middle of 7th grade: to wear a bra or not to wear a bra? See, even after breast reduction surgery when I was 19, I still can’t fathom actually going braless out in public. I rarely even feel comfortable enough to free-ball it the privacy of my own home (my boobs at 33 simply aren’t what — or where — they were 10 years ago). That isn’t to say I’m not a little jealous of women who don’t have to wear a bra. When I read that quote from Christina Applegate about the, uh, perk of going braless since getting implants after her double mastectomy for breast cancer, I thought, Well, at least there’s one upside! But then, I still have to wonder, just because a woman feels she can go braless, does that mean it’s appropriate?

"People" mag’s most beautiful celebs: Kate Hudson, Salma Hayek and… Rumer Willis?

"People" magazine’s annual “World’s Most Beautiful People” list has been compiled and there are lots of newcomers, several predictable choices, and some, well, at least one odd pick. Kate Hudson was selected as coverlady, repping for gorgeous tomboys everywhere. We think there are about half a dozen men in Hollywood who might agree, so we’ll give her the pass. Some other “winners” include:

Salma Hayek – Duh, she somehow looks better after having a baby than ever!
Mary J. Blige – She may get over the top on stage, but Mary’s looks match her soul and that’s magnificent.
Rumer Willis – Umm… hmm. Trying to be nice. Thoughts?
Sarah Silverman – Beautiful AND funny. We love it!

Exercise: Running out of excuses

I'm definitely not a runner, but a lot of my friends run and make it seem a little (am I really about to say this?) fun. In a fantasy world, I would like to get fit enough to run a marathon, but logistically, I don't know that I have my friends' discipline. However, if I could hire a...
