Jessica Simpson has showed off the results of her remarkable weight loss in a makeup-free selfie on her Instagram account.

The petite blonde star has lost 27kg since the birth of her second child Ace eight months ago, an amazing feat she credits to the support of her fiancé Eric Johnson (and her Weight Watchers sponsorship of course).

“Nothing motivates us more than some Johnson,” Jessica wrote alongside the picture of her in spandex tights on the treadmill at her home.

It’s the second time she’s shed the kilos in recent years – Jessica lost 25kg after the birth of her daughter Maxwell, now two. She’s not the only star to dramatically slim down – here are some of the most amazing celebrity weight losses.

Cameron Diaz: What your wee says about you

She may be a Hollywood actress but while on the publicity trail for her book Cameron Diaz has ruled no topic off limits, not even faeces, urine and sweat.
Cameron Diaz

Health conscious Diaz, 41, has recently penned The Body Book and during her chat with talk show queen Oprah Winfrey the blonde bombshell didn’t shy away from the messy world of bodily functions.

“Every time you go pee, you can look in the toilet,” Diaz said. “You can see what colour your pee is, what it smells like, and how often you’ve gone. And you can tell whether or not you need to drink more water or drink less coffee or whether or not your kidneys are being able to be flushed out. That’s important to your body.”

Cameron Diaz chatting with Oprah Winfrey for a TV special.

Her book is a New York Times best seller and focuses on health and wellness. Its famous author insists that a big part of being healthy is keeping a close eye on not only what goes into your body, but what comes out of it.

“By the way, if you’re connected to those things – your pee, your poop, and your sweat – that’s the easiest way and the most frequent way that you can be connected to what’s going on in your body,” Diaz says. “Because pee, poop, and sweat is the way that we get rid of toxins in our body.”

Oprah laughed her way through the awkward topic admitting: “I didn’t think I’d be talking to Cameron Diaz about poop!”

Duchess Kate attends wedding and wears same dress as another guest

It was an awkward scene at a wedding in Gloucestershire this weekend when two guests turned up wearing the same outfit and one of them was the Duchess of Cambridge.

Photographed outside the wedding with Princes Harry and William, Kate was seen wearing a striking but tasteful blue tweed dress coat. Moments later another guest appeared wearing the exact same.

The two women seemed to follow the rule of thumb in this situation: do not stand next to each other.

Thankfully, the pair accessorised differently. Kate completed her look with a navy hat, dark pointed heels and a black clutch. The unidentified guest paired her dress with metallic pink open-toe heels and a white purse.

The Duchess wore the same dress to Closing Ceremony of the 2012 Olympic Games.

Tom cruise out of hiding

After five months out of the spotlight, Tom Cruise has made an appearance at the Empire film awards at the Grosvenor House Hotel in London.

The veteran actor had deliberately removed himself from public life since November, [to concentrate on Scientology therapy].

Tom, 51, has now resurfaced looking fresh-faced and hit the red carpet with his Jack Reacher co-star Rosamund Pike.

He also hinted at the possibility of making a Top Gun 2, saying he is working to “get over some stumbling blocks” before talking about the project with film makers.

“With movies, they each have their time – when it’s ready to made. If we can get over some stumbling blocks it will be fun to do,” he told Sky News.

Other stars at the awards included Australia’s Margot Robbie, [who Tom has had his eye on], and Hugh Jackman.

Another official picture of Prince George!

Five months after his last official portrait was released, Prince George has sat for another picture.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince George

Five months after his last official portrait was released, Prince George has sat for another picture.

Posing with his proud parents the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and the family dog Lupo, the eight-month-old future king looks absolutely adorable in the image, and considerably bigger than the last time we saw him at his christening in October.

The portrait – shot by Jason Bell, who took George’s official christening portraits – was released ahead of the royal trio’s upcoming tour of Australia and New Zealand.

It was taken in their Kensington Palace home, the newly-renovated Apartment 1a, earlier this month.

William, Kate and George will touch down in New Zealand on April 7 and depart Australia on April 25.
