Julianne Hough Isn't Having Kids Anytime Soon

Julianne Hough and Ryan Seacrest have only been dating for a year, but the Footloose star already has babies on the brain!

"I don't want to have kids anytime soon, but when I do, I want my body to be healthy," the 22-year-old Salt Lake City native tells the May issue of Women's Health.

To stay fit, Hough avoids processed foods and frequently attends Tracy Anderson's high-intensity cardio dance classes. "They're so fun and dance-y," she says.

Unfortunately, maintaining her figure hasn't always been so easy.

"Growing up, I could eat anything, but the minute I hit 22, I stopped dancing and kept eating whatever I wanted, and I gained weight," Hough admits. "Then I started reading [critical] comments in blogs. That freaks you out and you get caught up in it."

Fortunately, Hough was able to shake off the criticism. "If I deprive myself, I end up binge eating. I didn't want to do that," she says. "Now if I want something, I'll have it and I won't feel guilty. Then the next day I won't crave it."

Lauren Conrad: The Craziness in My Life is Over

Lauren Conrad starts shooting for her new show which means one thing--expect to see a lot of her!

Lauren's going to be busy doing the promotional rounds, and boy does she have a lot to promote! Between her new reality show, her new book and designing for Kohl's, Lauren has her plate full right now.

She's featured on the new cover of Women's Health magazine where she talks about post-TV life, she spills the beans about her many new projects and how she squeezes in staying in shape. Here are some highlights...

On her post-TV life:

“A lot of the craziness is over. It’s the calm after the storm.”

On balancing her hectic lifestyle:

“When you are working really hard and you’re really focused on your career, a lot of other things suffer. It takes a lot of effort to have a successful career, have great relationships in your life and have a healthy lifestyle. It’s just about compromise.”

On staying grounded:

“One way to stay grounded in the entertainment industry is to surround yourself with very good people that will constantly remind you how uncool you are. It helps that I have an amazing family and I have really great friends that I’ve had since I was a little kid and they’re all still around me, reminding me how lame I am.”

On producing:

“You know, the next thing I’m probably going to do is getting into producing. For me it’s more about finding the time that I really have to dedicate to the beginning stages because I want the first project I do to be something really special.”

On her other upcoming projects:

“Right now, I’m working on putting together my next book series; working on the Kohl’s line…which has taken up a lot of time and has been really, really fun to do.”

On her success as a writer:

“A little bizarre but really cool.”

On taking on a dozen different projects and squeezing in workouts with her beau:

“It helps if your friends and boyfriend like to work out because then you can kill two birds with one stone.”

On her kickboxing sessions:

“Any way to make a workout feel like playtime is great. The stress just melts away.”

Lauren Conrad Talks Fame In Women's Health

Lauren Conrad had to purge some of her insecurities, in exchange for some new ones on her road to success, in this month's edition of Women's Health.

One of those purges first off is how Lauren had to present herself in public, she had to stop twirling her hair because it made her look like an airhead.

Plus, Lauren had to practice her red carpet stance at home in the mirror, so she can look her best at award shows, media events, and movie premieres.

A big to do on Lauren's list of insecurities is facing her critics, or what other people thought of her, as Lauren explains that she cares about what other people think.

However, one of Lauren's friends sat her down asking why she cared about other people's opinions, and Lauren deals with this by having a tatoo saying, "Sticks and Stones".

Lauren also explains that she developed a thick-skin quickly, courtesy of The Hills, and Hollywood, because good friends are hard to find, and Lauren's always being judged, but Lauren uses her previous retail experience and climb up the fashion ladder to keep with the pressure of it all.

Yes, there's an exchange we all must do when transitioning from private life the the face of the public eye, but we don't have to give up everything in order to fit another's image.

Most of the time, it's people wanting you to change because they're not comfortable with themselves, or just want to stick to what they know.

On the other hand, people ask those rising stars like Lauren Conrad to change because it keeps those people on top, and stars like Lauren Conrad down, while others and so-called friends pass by her.

As Lauren's fame rose substantially in 2007, Lauren was getting offers like modeling a runway show for Marc Jacobs, so veterans got extremely mad, in this reporter's opinion.

Lauren is being judged because she got to where she is faster than others, so those angry slavers and veterans become sharks, and are on a mission to destroy anything Lauren Conrad.

Lauren Conrad should stay the course of her goals and dreams, and start going older audiences to give Vera Wang a run for her money, as well as Lauren's young and growing audience.
