Country star and FitCeleb Jo Dee Messina isn't letting pregnancy slow her down.

"I run 30 minutes a day and train with weights for an hour, five days a week. I'm staying really fit," says the singer.

She's in such good shape that her Thanksgiving plans include running the five-mile Turkey Trot race in Nashville.

"I'll be eight months pregnant and running – it should be interesting!"

If you thought you had seen all there was to see of Angelina Jolie, think again. In a stunningly intimate photo spread in the upcoming issue of W magazine the mom of six gets up and close and personal with private snaps taken by partner Brad Pitt, including one of her breastfeeding on the cover of the mag.

"Angelina posed for Brad in one of the photos while breastfeeding. It's really beautiful and tastefully done," sources who have seen the photos told Life & Style magazine. 

Jolie reveals in Sunday's issue of Parade magazine that she and Pitt have a long road ahead.

"I don't want to spend my life pretending to be somebody else, and I don't want the person next to me to have to pretend ever, because we have a long life ahead of us," Jolie explains.

"So you just want to be able to be who you are in every moment, and that's the only way you'll ever be truly happy."

As other hot Hollywood mamas can attest to, being a mother can be a joy – and a pain, when it comes to shedding those extra pounds gained. But Entourage's FitCeleb Constance Zimmer shared a few tips with OK! magazine that she's learned since giving birth to her daughter Colette Zoe last January.

"I did a food program that’s called Fresh Mommy, which is all delivered organic food that’s really good for you," she told OK! Thursday night at an event celebrating Tommy Hilfiger's Ironic Iconic America special on Bravo in Beverly Hills. "You need to eat so much food after you have a baby to breastfeed, so it’s all about portion control."

Exercise also played an important part in her journey back to her fit bod, she reveals.

"I walked a lot. I wore a weight vest when I walked, so it was an added four pounds of weight every time I walked," she says. "It’s been eight months. This industry doesn’t give you any time to take off the baby weight. It kind of has to happen right away."

Despite having to work hard to regain her pre-baby body, Constance says being a new mother was a big change.

You can put all those pregnancy nutrition myths to rest. Here are some tips and tricks from Health magazine's resident dietitian, Julie Upton, RD.

Myth: “I can eat I want when I’m expecting; it’s the one time I really don’t want to worry about my diet.”

Fact: You’re no longer "eating for two" as the old statement goes. In fact, calorie requirements don’t even go up in the first trimester. In the second and third trimesters, women need an average of 350 extra calories a day. For most moms-to-be, that should be 2,200 to 2,900 healthy, nutritious calories—not a complete free-for-all.

Myth: “There’s no way to get all the calcium I need naturally while pregnant.”

Fact: You need the same amount of calcium during pregnancy and when breast-feeding as you do when you’re not pregnant—1,000 milligrams per day. In fact, when pregnant, your body becomes superefficient at absorbing the mineral. However, since most of us are deficient in calcium before we get pregnant, it is recommended that we take a multivitamin that contains iron, folic acid, calcium, and vitamin D in addition to getting it from food sources.

Myth: “My doctor says I’m right on target for a 30-pound weight gain.”

Looking svelte in a skintight workout outfit, it is hard to believe FitCeleb Minnie Driver gave birth just a few weeks ago. After sporting an enormous baby bump during her pregnancy the 38-year-old actress seems to have zipped back into shape in an amazingly short period of time. The new mom showed off her slimline figure in a black vest and leggings as she chatted on the phone outside her house in Los Angeles. Motherhood obviously suits the Hollywood star who looked happy and relaxed as she chatted and laughed on her mobile phone. Her son Henry Story Driver was born in Los Angeles on September 5th weighing a healthy 9lbs and 12oz. The star's bump bloomed to an enormous size during her pregnancy and she showed off her rounded tummy in a bikini as she took a dip in the sea at Malibu Beach in August. Announcing her pregnancy earlier this year, she said:

'Most of the women in my family get super girthy early on and I've got to say that's why I have this nice chiffon dress on. I'm fat.'

Ok, now that I see yet another FitCeleb getting back to shape in record time, I am convinced that they all have help-and lots of it! Now we don't have to be so hard on ourselves!

A week after giving birth, FitCeleb Minnie Driver is mini again. The new 38-year-old mom - who welcomed son Henry Story Driver on September 5- debuted her post-baby bod during a trip to the grocery store Saturday in Malibu, Calif. Son Henry went along for the ride in his black stroller. Her slim size is quite a feat, considering Henry weighed in at 9 lbs., 12 oz. While pregnant, Driver told Usmagazine.com she pigged out on olives.

"I dream about enormous olives," she said in March. "It's great just to be able to eat! No guilt! No guilt about anything."Still, she admitted to, "I'm not as hungry as everyone told me I'd be."

I don't know how these new moms look as though they never gave birth! Have any of you lost your baby weight in record time?

Jessica Alba added an Expresso Exercise bike to her home gym to help drop her pregnancy pounds.

"She likes the program that allows her to collect points – it's a lot like a video game," says her trainer Ramona Braganza of the Expresso, which offers more than 30 Web-based virtual reality cycling courses.

That way, she says Alba can focus on the score, and take her mind off the work.

FitCeleb Eva Longoria Parker has put an end to weeks of rumors that she is pregnant.

"I'm just fat," she said Tuesday during an interview with Le Grand Journal with husband Tony Parker.

She then burst out laughing while Parker chuckled nervously. The 33-year-old actress is still taking a stab at motherhood -- at work, that is. On the upcoming season of Desperate Housewives, her character will turn into an exhausted homemaker with two kids. To make Gabrielle look like she has two kids, Eva has said she ate "everything in sight! Pasta ... pizza.Tony and I went crazy this summer!" the actress, who also stopped working out, told Entertainment Tonight.

Her other secret for looking heavier?

"I have butt pads, I have thigh pads, I have stomach pads!"

I wouldn't consider Eva as looking "heavy" these days, but she may have a little bit of a baby bump. What do you think? Only time will tell!

Actress and FitCeleb Nicole Kidman looked back to her glamorous best as she led Hollywood's A-list at London's National Movie Awards. Dressed in a thigh-grazing minidress, the actress made sure all eyes were on her as she arrived at the awards ceremony at the Royal Festival Hall. Eschewing her usual floor-length glamour number for a fitted black shift with a gem-encrusted neckline, the actress cosied up to her singer husband, Keith Urban as they posed for pictures at the event. Nicole, 41, made her first official appearance since giving birth to her daughter Sunday Rose in July. The Oscar-winning actress elected not to walk down the red carpet in front of fans but instead went on stage to present the award for Best Musical to summer hit Mamma Mia.

Is it just me or do you feel as though Nicole never even looked pregnant?! It doesn't surprise me that she looks amazing as usual. She didn't even start showing till the end!

FitCeleb Jerry O'Connell admits he made a big mistake. The star of the new sitcom Do Not Disturb is apologizing to wife and FitCeleb Rebecca Romijn who is pregnant with twin girls – for joking about her size when he appeared on a late-night talk show Friday.

"I regret calling my wife 'huge' on Conan O'Brien," O'Connell tells PEOPLE. "I meant to say that there are specific areas of my wife that are larger than normal and growing every day. All other portions of my wife are quite petite. I apologize to her and will be coming home with flowers."

That is too funny! Has your husband said anything hurtful about your size while you were pregnant?
