Tracy Anderson Says Being ‘Hot Is Not Defined by Height or Weight’

The fad that’s hurting women: “One hundred percent: It’s called celebrity. We should love their work. But to blow up their importance to the level of obsession takes away from our own beauty and our own gifts. There’s a disease here—the disease is vanity, insecurity and the lengths of unhealthy behaviors people go to to achieve what they think is beautiful. The disease of ‘I’m not worth anything unless I look like that person over there.’”

The change in women’s bodies: “I think it’s changing, and that excites me. You take a Kim Kardashian, who is a curvaceous, voluptuous, petite woman—and she’s on the cover of Vogue! I like that. I think that’s progress. Lena Dunham, who is a buddy of mine, is on the cover selling magazines with her
beauty and her light.”

She’s not all about giving women the same ****: “I want to get away from ‘Tracy Anderson is going to make you teeny-tiny.’ I’m not trying to make everyone the same. To me, ‘hot’ is not Defined by a Height or weight or measurement; hot is going to the root of who you are.”

******s with icing: “It involves Gwyneth. I was so good at designing bodies, including my own, that I could eat a pizza and a tub of ice cream every day and you wouldn’t see it; it was like a free card to eat whatever I wanted. And I was in London, dunking ******s in frosting. And she looked at me and was like, ‘What are you doing?’ And I was like, ‘What do you mean? It’s so good!’ And she’s like, ‘Do you know how toxic that is?’ I said, ‘Yes.’ And she’s like, ‘And you’re still eating it.’ I was like, ‘You know what? She’s so right.’ That was almost nine years ago. That was the last ****** dunked in frosting I ever had.”

Creating her method: “… It was very apparent to me that Being a ballerina wasn’t going to happen. But I’ve always been, like, ‘Welp, there’s a different purpose for me. There is something else I’m supposed to be doing.’ Then at 21, I gained 60 pounds while pregnant with my son, and that’s when I started creating my method.”

She really hates juice cleanses: “Any**** is going to lose weight if they drink liquid all day long. That’s like lunchtime liposuction or freezing the fat cells off. You don’t own that change. The weight is coming back.”

Anderson Cooper Will Not Receive an Inheritance From Mom Gloria Vanderbilt

No Inheritance for Anderson! CNN anchor Anderson Cooper, who comes From the Vanderbilts, one of the wealthiest families in American history, said Monday, March 31, that he Will not be receiving any fortune From his mother Gloria Vanderbilt.

"My mom’s made clear to me that there’s no trust fund," Cooper told Howard Stern on his radio show. "There’s none of that."

Cooper’s mom is the great-great-granddaughter of railroad and shipping mogul Cornelius Vanderbilt. Still stunning at 90 years old, the Manhattan socialite and former denim designer is reportedly worth a whopping $200 million.

Gloria’s equally-successful son, however, told Stern he was okay with not receiving an Inheritance at all. "I don’t believe in inheriting money," he said. "I think it’s an initiative sucker. I think it’s a curse."

Cooper explained, "Who has inherited a lot of money that has gone on to do things in their own life? From the time I was growing up, if I felt that there was some pot of gold waiting for me, I don’t know that I would’ve been so motivated."

Today, the reputable journalist, 46, has become a household **** on his own. The CNN personality, nick****d the "Silver Fox" by fans, reportedly rakes in $11 million a year through his contact with the network.

"I’m doing fine on my own, I don’t need any [money]," he told Stern.

While Cooper had a privileged upbringing in Manhattan, the Yale grad has mentioned he was unfazed by his wealthy background — in part, due to his father, Wyatt Emory Cooper. "I’ve never paid attention to it, honestly," Cooper said of the Vanderbilt family’s wealth.

"My dad grew up really poor in Mississippi… I paid attention to that because I thought that’s a healthier thing to pay attention to than like some statue of a great-great-great-grandfather who has no connection to my life."

As a child, Anderson Cooper put his handsome looks to good use as a model starting at the age of 10.

However, while chatting with Howard Stern on the radio personality’s program on Monday, the 46-year-old CNN anchor explained why he decided to leave the modeling world at 13.

"I got propositioned by a photographer…a male," Cooper said. "He somehow got my number and called me up and offered me money, and so it freaked me out. I never told any****. I just stopped. I was, like, ‘Forget it.’"

When asked exactly how much money he was offered, Cooper brought a little levity to the conversation by saying, "$2,500, which I thought was a little low."
