Kristen Bell’s Bikini-Ready Secret: Stay Busy!

After celebrating her 30th birthday last month, Kristen Bell is all about maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Appearing on dual covers for the September issue of Shape, the stylish actress shares her 30 best stay-fit tips, challenging women to embrace a more balanced approach to fitness. Opting for an active lifestyle over fad diets, she admits: “I’m like a jackrabbit throughout the day and like to keep moving whenever I can.” Instead of depriving herself of caloric sweets, she makes compromises. “More flights of stairs means I can eat more candy!” And when Bell isn’t playing board games with fiancé Dax Shepard, she can be found planting vegetables in her organic garden or getting crafty at home. “I love to do projects around the house,” she explains. “I have a very old sewing machine, and if I spot something I like in a magazine, I want to see if I can make it.” To hear more from Kristen, pick up the September issue of Shape or visit Shape.com for a behind the scenes look at her cover shoot. –Justine Harman

It looks like very little gets in between Gabriel Aubry and his sheets! The sexy model sizzles as the face, or should we say body, of Charisma’s newest ad campaign. Following in the footsteps of Sex and the City heartthrob Jason Lewis, Gabriel strips down to pose in the home brand’s fall 2010 campaign, shot by famed photographer Tony Duran. And while the sizzling star has nothing but praise for the label’s luxe linens, saying in a release that “Charisma products have an understated elegance and luxuriousness to them, which is noticeable just by looking at the detailing of the towels and bedding,” we’re much more focused on the details of his six-pack! The smoking hot dad to Nahla and ex of Halle Berry, will heat up October issues of home magazines as well as computer screens in an online campaign. If this doesn’t get you in the mood for new bedding, we don’t know what will! To purchase your own lush linens, visit Bloomingdales.com or check out the entire collection at Charismathome.com–Jessie Goldberg

Rebel rock star by day, glamorous movie costar by night. That’s the life of Juliette Lewis and the reason she arrived at the premiere of her latest movie Monday night, ironically titled The Switch, in a gorgeous Dolce & Gabbana dress topped with an all-blue updo, sapphire tendrils and all. “I have a whole other rock ‘n’ roll life,” the singer told PEOPLE of the reason behind her shocking locks, which she debuted in June during a promotional stop in London. “We have been doing a van tour all over the states and in Canada so I literally just arrived yesterday.” Juliette’s cool style stunned fans on the red carpet, but the actress seems delighted with both her onscreen and on stage life. “It’s so funny, these two lives that I lead.” Tell us: What do you think of Juliette’s bright blue hair? Can she pull off the bold look?–Christie LaRusso; reporting by Mia McNiece

Tim Gunn Relishes His Role as a ‘Fashion Therapist’

While designers depend on Tim Gunn’s stylish words of wisdom on Project Runway, his best “make it work” advice may just be for the everyday woman. In Redbook‘s September issue, the style guru reveals his rules to dress by and his favorite fashionista: Michelle Obama! “I don’t have the adequate words to tell people how fabulous I think [she] is,” says Gunn. “I love that she understands how to dress for her size and shape.” And understanding proportion, according to Gunn, is key when it comes to fashion. “Think of your body as a series of thirds; the worst thing you can do is cut yourself in half,” he instructs. Next, balance your proportions. “If you have something loose and blousy on top, whatever you wear below should be sleek and well fitted to serve as a counterpoint, and vice versa,” he says. And finally, don’t wear clothes that are too big! “That’s the comfort trap,” warns Tim. Get more style advice from Tim in the September issue of Redbook, on newsstands August 24, or visit redbookmag.com.–Andrea DeSimone

The Kardashian sisters are no strangers to sharing the spotlight, but come February, Kim and younger sister Khloe will be battling it out at the perfume counter. Not only will Kardashian fans be able to get their hands on Kim’s second fragrance early next year, but Khloe’s debut scent will also be hitting shelves the very same month! And unlike past joint ventures for the reality star sisters, Khloe is teaming up with her husband, Los Angeles Lakers forward Lamar Odom, to create a unisex fragrance with Lighthouse Beauty—the same company that developed Kim’s signature scent—reports WWD. While details are still yet to be released, Odom told the publication at a Casio G-Shock event on August 2 that it may be called “Unbreakable”. However, his wife quickly denied it saying, “Baby, I dunno, we’re still working on it.” We can’t wait to see what the couple comes up with. Check back for more details.
