Tori Spelling, 34, has just landed her first job as a celebrity spokesperson–for the new NutriSystem Advanced program.
The “Beverly Hills 90210″ star obviously was a great choice for NutiSystem after losing 35lbs on their special diet plan following the birth of her first baby Liam with husband Dean McDermott nine months ago.
“I’ve heard about people on diets and you get a meal plan and you eat the same thing all the time. But with NutriSystem, there’s so much to choose from that it took me forever to go through everything and repeat. My favorite is the meat loaf,” Spelling said. “It didn’t feel like I was on a diet. It was convenient with the baby, and it tasted good. I want to enjoy my life right now, and I don’t want to feel like I can’t eat. It totally changed my body.”
“When I was young it’s always that thing - you can never be too thin,” she added. “Now that I’m in my 30s - I’m married, happy and have a baby - I realise I’m at a healthy weight. I don’t want to get any thinner. This is what looks good.”
Spelling’s campaigns, shot in San Diego recently, will start appearing on TV and in celebrity and women’s magazines next month.
Dieters who sign up to the program will receive $300 a month specially prepared meals including breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert, and will also get unlimited access to weight-loss trained counsellors.

Patrick Dempsey, who came second in People magazine’s 2007 ‘Sexiest Man Alive’ list, has been named the new face of the spring/summer line of Versace.
The “Grey’s Anatomy” heartthrob, who’s been nicknamed ‘Dr. McDreamy’, was photographed last month for the ad campaign by reputed fashion photographer Mario Testino.
For Donatella Versace, Versace’s design head, Dempsey fitted the new fashion line ‘hand in glove’.
“Patrick represents everything that is great about this collection — he has that confidence, he is completely comfortable in his own skin, which is so attractive. He is the modern man of today and of course looks fantastic in the clothes,” she said. “I’m a big fan. So it was a great experience working with him because he is such a talented actor.”
Dempsey didn’t hide his excitement about his new role either.
“I was thrilled to be asked to be the face of the Versace Men’s campaign,” he said. “It was so lovely to work with Donatella Versace, she is an iconic and inspirational woman and a wonderful person, not to mention what a pleasure it was to work with Mario Testino too, one of the world’s finest photographers.”
The choice of Dempsey to represent Versace’s new collection comes at a time when Donatella Versace is moving away from the company’s old image of flash and glitz to a more wearable look.

How does Jessica Alba look so ravishing in that ‘ordinary looking’ swimsuit? Why do millions drool at Kate Beckinsale in that ’simple’ black swimwear? I agree that the fact that they’re celebrities has something to do with it, but what’s behind the scene is that they selected the swimwear that are just right for them.
My girlfriend Che tells me that whatever your figure, you can find a swimsuit that can flatter your shape. Bottom heavy? Try the padded tops that enhance the chest or high-cut bottoms. Strapless styles also edge out the difference with their horizontal lines. The busty ones ought to try suits that are dark on top and light on the bottom and avoid strapless bandeaus and triangle bikini tops.
Che says that women with Women with long torsos ought to try Tankinis with high-cut bottoms, help the body look more proportional. Women with concern about their tummies might want to look for styles that produce a slimming effect–look for diagonal lines, chevron patterns and dark side panels that curve in. Short torso? Experiment with solid singles with plunging necklines that create a long appearance, and be sure to avoid high-waisted bikini bottoms and suits with horizontal stripes. A fun thing to do would be to try boy shorts and skirted bikinis.
So now we know. The ‘great’ swimsuit look is not for the celebs alone!

Spice Girls star Victoria Beckham is set to bare all for fashion designer Marc Jacobs in a new T-shirt range for his skin cancer charity.
But for Jacobs, 44, it didn’t come easy. He had to do some convincing to get Victoria, 33, to agree to strip for his 2008 Spring/Summer collection. A source close to ‘Posh Spice’ said:
“Victoria loves Marc’s work but she wasn’t entirely comfortable with getting naked.
“Marc went all-out to persuade her. And when she heard about what a great cause it was she knew she just couldn’t turn it down. The picture she and Marc have chosen is amazing - sexy but tasteful.”
As could be expected, this is not the first time Jacobs is getting a celebrity to get naked–Julianne Moore, Dita Von Teese and Naomi Campbell all got naked for his T-shirts in 2006, which reportedly raised about $60,000 for the skin cancer charity. That Victoria’s raunchy pose will take this year’s higher should be safe bet, since the T-shirts are expected to sell for $20 each in Marc’s stores. (The 2006 line of T-shirts sold in the designer’s stores for just $5.)
Considered a fashion icon herself, Victoria is a fan of Jacobs’ creations. Recently the British pop superstar was seen at the Victoria’s Secret fashion wearing a Marc Jacobs creation to the pink carpet.
Dakota Fanning, Meg White and Michael Stipe are some of the other celebrities who have endorsed the Marc Jacobs label in the past.
Meanwhile, Victoria and her fellow Spice Girls – Melanie Brown, Geri Halliwell, Emma Bunton, and Melanie Chisholm - are set to kick off their reunion tour in Vancouver, Canada tomorrow.
