Not only did Jennifer Lopez shed 50 pounds after giving birth to her twins, Max and Emme, in February 2008 — but the 40-year-old mom has kept the weight off and looks hotter than ever!

Granted, staying in shape hasn’t been an easy feat. “I had to work really hard,” Jennifer confesses.

But luckily, the sweat and suffering has all been worth it for the singer and actress. “She isn’t afraid to push herself in the gym,” her trainer, Gunnar Peterson, tells In Touch. “She’s not somebody who blows it off because she’s working 18-hour days on the set. She finds a way to get back in, even if it means exercising really late at night.”

Peterson tells In Touch that Jennifer exercises for at least one hour, anywhere from two to six days a week. “After a 10-minute warm-up, we do a series of strength and resistance moves, coupled with high-intensity cardio intervals and some flexibility work.”

Even though she’s serious about training, she’s careful not to lose her curves. “I do weights and cardio, but I try to take a soft, feminine approach,” Jennifer has said.

As far as her diet, J. Lo has been using the meal delivery service Freshology (freshology.com) since October 2008. She sticks to about 1,200 to 1,400 calories a day, and eats lean proteins, fruits, vegetables, good fats and lowglycemic carbs. “She stays ready so she doesn’t ever have to get ready,” Peterson tells In Touch. “She just keeps her foot on the pedal.”

Spending time in the doghouse would be enjoyable, maybe even desirable — if it were like Paris Hilton’s. The heiress’ six pooches are surrounded by toys and products from Jimmy Chew, Pawda, Sniffany & Co. and Chewy Vuitton in their plush mini mansion behind the star’s Beverly Hills home. “It’s a miniature version of my house,” Paris tells Life & Style. “I designed it with the help of my interior decorator, Faye Resnick.”

The pooch pad for her dogs — Tinkerbell, Marilyn Monroe, Prince Baby Bear, Harajuku, Dolce and Prada — has a clay-tile roof and copper gutters outside and features two floors of black-and-pink luxury inside. Intricate ceiling molding and a crystal chandelier hang in the air- conditioned and heated upstairs bedroom and downstairs living room. “They love lying on the balcony, playing in their backyard and hanging out on their living room furniture,” Paris tells Life & Style. “They appreciate the house that Mommy built for them.”

And they should, says Timo Ketola, owner of 310 Properties in LA. “This is one of the most desirable and prestigious parts of LA to live in,” he says. “For a 300-square-foot building with those amenities here, it would cost $325,000 or so.”

After a yearlong separation, Pink and husband Carey Hart are back together, and Carey tells Life & Style exclusively how the two are making it work this time. “You have to make an effort to put the relationship first,” the pro motocross racer explained at the X Games Celebrity Skins Classic in Coto de Caza, Calif., on July 27. “It’s hard when you have two people with completely independent careers and independent lives. You have to make the effort, and that’s what we did.” Indeed, Carey, 34, accompanied his wife, 29, on her Funhouse Tour, even performing free motocross shows outside some of the arenas where she played. “It was an opportunity for us to spend time together,” he tells Life & Style. “It was really nice to be able to cross our two worlds.”

And the duo might have more opportunities to work together in the future. Carey is currently filming a new reality show about his life as an athlete and owner of a tattoo shop and club, and he says Pink will appear on it as well. The couple, who met in 2001, married in 2006 in Costa Rica. Though they split last year, divorce was never finalized. “We never officially signed anything,” Carey says. “We just separated, and here we are figuring it out again.”

It’ll be hard to anyone to fill that blue shirt quite like Billy Mays — but the marketing company behind Mighty Brand products is prepping a nationwide search for a new pitchman to take his place.

Media Enterprises tells us the hunt will begin August 19 with auditions in Tampa, FL – and will continue throughout the country. We’re told Mays’ image will remain on the Mighty products, but the company is looking for someone with as much enthusiasm as Billy to sell it.

The first product the new person would be pitching is the Mighty Sponge — a sponge so strong it can allegedly absorb 2 liters of Coke.

The gig could end up being pretty lucrative for whoever nails it — for one of his last commercials Mays was paid seven figures for one day’s work.
