Adding another trophy to her already impressive collection, Shakira was among the winners at the 2009 Bambi Awards in Potsdam, Germany on Thursday (November 26).

Held at the Metropolis hall at Filmpark Babelsberg, the “Hips Don’t Lie” singer was crowned as the top International Pop Artist at the glitzy awards ceremony.

Not only on-hand to collect her trophy, Shakira also dazzled the crowd with an energetic performance during the course of the evening’s festivities.

With stars such as Kate Winslet also in attendance, the Bambi Awards are put on by Hubert Burda Media to recognize excellence in international media and television.

Twilight actress Christian Serratos, who plays Kristen 'Bella' Stewart's friend and classmate Angela in the movies, has stripped naked for PETA.

Christian is a committed vegetarian and this is actually her second appearance on a PETA poster, but the first time she's gone completely nude.

In fact, in posing au naturel aged just 19, Christian has become the youngest celebrity (others include Jamelia, Alicia Silverstone, Eva Mendes and Pamela Anderson) to bare her body for the anti-fur campaign group.

The new poster has the lovely Christian leaning against a tree in a gloomy, mist-shrouded forest (not unlike a forest in, say, Washington State, where Twilight is set), with the campaign slogan 'Id rather go naked than wear fur' in a not-dissimilar typeface to that used on the Twilight books, posters etc.

There's a splash of (animal, no doubt) blood thrown in, for good measure.

Which works out quite nicely, we think and we imagine that all parties concerned will be very pleased with the results.

There is little dispute that walking is one of the best, cheapest and easiest things you can do for your health.
What if there was a small, inexpensive device that was proven to boost your fitness, help you lose weight and lower your blood pressure? Would you use it, especially if doing so was nearly effortless?

Jane Bonin does. She has for the past eight months and swears by it. “It's just a way of tricking yourself into doing the right thing,” says the 73-year-old writer and former college professor who lives in Washington.

Hundreds of people at the Office of Management and Budget have one. They've got them at the White House. More than 3,000 Stanford University employees have tried them, as have people in various workplaces.

And yet, buying a pedometer is not the first — or second, or third — piece of advice you typically receive when you turn to someone and say: “I really need to get in shape, but I hate exercising. What should I do?”

Hirsch wants the rights to distribute "erotic footage that Carrie Prejean, former Miss California, produced for her boyfriend following their four (4) day rendezvous in February 2007."

Hirsch writes: "We would like to present Carrie with several options where she could certainly earn millions of dollars."

And look on the upside: she doesn't have to split it with anyone!

TMZ spoke with Carrie's attorney last night, who says that Carrie's mom/rep says, "No, at any price."

But Carrie could have Plan B.

Word is she may sue the Miss Cali pageant officials, because she believes they leaked the settlement to TMZ.

You know, that settlement she was so touchy (threatened to walk off the show) about when Larry 'Inappropriate' King asked her about it on his show last week.

Is there no end to this madness?

Aren't there gay marriages she should be out there trying to stop?

If she wants to earn some money, how about seminars on self-pleasure techniques. They'd be packed! By men.

A study published in the March issue of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition has challenged what we have been following for decades that saturated fats are bad for our hearts. The study found inadequate evidence linking saturated fat intake to cardiovascular disease or coronary heart disease. The famous Atkins Diet has been refurbished with a motive to make it easier to understand and maintain. "The New Atkins for a New You", allow dieters to eat more vegetables than the old version did. But the diet's core concept that carbohydrates, not saturated fat, are what make us fat stays intact. The new book, written by Eric Westman, Stephen Phinney and Jeff Volek, directs dieters through four phases, from "Induction" through "Lifetime Maintenance". Westman says that the Induction phase allows dieters to eat some vegetables: leafy, fiber-filled and unstarchy ones such as cauliflower and spinach. The new Atkins also advises to include more fruits, grains and legumes to the diet. Atkins also encourages sodium consumption. Westman explains, "If you don't have a salt-sensitive condition like heart failure, salt in the diet is not restricted on Atkins".
