Victoria's Secret Angel Lily Aldridge Spills Her Sexy-Figure Secret

If there's anything a Victoria's Secret Angel knows, it's how to look amazing -- while wearing minimal clothes, natch. And there's no hotter Angel right now than Lily Aldridge, new mom to daughter Dixie -- but still in seriously fit form. Lily, who first walked the VS runway in 2009 and was annointed with her Angel wings in 2010, knows how to keep her bod wing worthy and runway ready -- even after the birth of her child! We checked in with the super-chic model to find out how she gets her sweat on (yoga!), her must-have beauty product (sunscreen!) and what makes her fall asleep.

The man behind this incredible figure? Celebrity trainer Justin Gelband, who has been working with Lily for almost five years now. When the duo works out together, they "focus on strengthening and lengthening her core zone, which includes the butt, hips, lower back, and stomach."

Lily and Gelband credit yoga for her long, lithe figure. "I've always loved yoga," Lily tells SELF exclusively, "but I got really into it while I was pregnant. It's a great way to stay flexible -- and a great way to meditate." Lily especially enjoys Tree Pose, because she "justs feels grounded and focused while in the pose." And when she wants to unwind, she swears by Child's Pose. "I could fall asleep in that position!" Lily jokes. (Oh, and unrelated side note? How much do we want the VSX gear she's rocking in this photo?!)

And even though we talked to Lily in the studio, she loves to bring her workout outdoors with Gelband. (Kinda like SELF's Workout in the Park this past weekend in NYC!) "Working out outside is good for the body and soul," says Lily. "Nothing makes me feel more blessed than being outside on a beautiful day."

Gelband is inspired by Lily's attitude, he says, as "she's been a huge role model for young women all over the world with her integrity, work ethic and continued dedication to her craft." And we love Lily's commitment to her health, too: The Angel swears by Aveeno's sunblock for face and body. "I won't leave home without it!" she says. Whatever Lily's doing, it's working, so we'll gladly follow suit any day.

Keira Knightley marries James Righton in secret ceremony

Keira Knightley married James Righton in secret in France earlier today.

The Anna Karenina actress wed the Klaxons keyboardist in a low-key ceremony in the South of France.

Just a dozen of their close friends and family were present.

Pictures that have emerged of the wedding party show Knightley, 28, leaving Mazan Town Hall holding hands with Righton, 29. Guests - including the rest of the Klaxons and Knightley's mum - then cheered them into a waiting Renault Clio.

Knightley wore a simple, strapless tulle dress created by Chanel creative director Karl Lagerfeld for the occasion, which she teamed with flat pumps and a cropped Chanel jacket. She wore a daisy chain garland on her head. See her wedding dress here.

One witness told US Magazine:  "It was a very moving ceremony. Keira looked emotional during the whole thing. She cried when they exchanged their vows but was still smiling."

Another insider added: "It was a sunny day without a cloud in the sky. There were cheers of 'Well done Keira!' when she came out, but there were so few people present, they didn't make much noise. 

"It was amusing to see them being driven away in a battered old Renault Clio. The car certainly looked as though it had seen better days." 

The couple are expected to celebrate with a bigger party tonight at Knightley's mother's home, just a few miles outside of Mazan. 

Righton's band Klaxons are expected to perform to the 50 plus guests in attendance, which will allegedly include Sienna Miller. 

The couple will reportedly throw a second party when they arrive back in the UK.

Keira Knightley is set to marry her fiancé James Righton this weekend, it has been reported.

The Anna Karenina actress will apparently wed the Klaxons musician in a private ceremony in the South of France.

According to one British tabloid, they will tie the knot in front of a select few friends and family near Nice.

A source said: "Most of their friends will fly out for the wedding on Friday.

"They've been planning it for a while but wanted something small and private. They could get married in total private in stunning surroundings."

Knightley and Righton first started dating at the beginning of 2011, after she split from her Pride & Prejudice co-star Rupert Friend.

They announced their engagement in May 2012.

Keira Knightley has admitted that she and fiancé James Righton are yet to make any plans for their wedding.

Speaking to Ellen DeGeneres on her US chat show, the British actress admitted that she doesn't really "have a clue" about how to plan her upcoming nuptials.

She said: "The problem is ever since it's happened everyone keeps going 'so when is it going to happen and what's they dress like?'... I'm just not one of those girls that's had the kind of fantasy wedding thing[sic]."

She further revealed: "We haven't planned anything and it's all quite terrifying and I sort looked up on the Internet... If you're getting married what should you do?"

Ellen then jokingly asked: "That's what you're doing to get married? You're looking on the Internet to see what you do?"

Keira admitted: "I really don't have a clue... I don't get what the big deal is. You say, 'I do, I do'. You drink a bit. Anyway on the internet there are things like Bridal Tea Parties. I mean, what is a bridal tea party? I've never had a tea party in my life. So the idea that you should suddenly have tea party because you're getting married suddenly just really confused me. So the whole thing is kind of quite confusing I think."

Meanwhile, Knightley has also opened up about the time that she saw a ghost.

The 27-year-old actress said that she was scared despite never having believed in ghosts before.

Speaking on The Tonight Show With Jay Leno, Knightley recalled the encounter: "I was staying in a hotel in this city [Los Angeles]. The room had a bedroom and a sitting room. I walked into the sitting room. I'd just got out of the shower. There was a guy sitting on the sofa."

The Anna Karenina star continued: "He had a burgundy shirt on and he had short black hair and I thought 'Oh, some guy has come into my room'. I said to him 'I really sorry, you're in my room", and he disappeared.

"Then my mum came in and was, like "Who are you talking to?" and I'm standing there... I don't think I'd been drinking; it was early in the morning so I can't figure out what it was like other than a ghost. He was so real, then all of a sudden he wasn't there."

Keira Knightley is engaged to her rocker boyfriend, The Klaxons' star James Righton. The news first broke on Twitter and the Press Association claimed that the engagement had been confirmed by the star's PR.

"I can confirm that Keira is engaged to be married to James Righton," her publicist said.

The pair have been dating since April 2011, after being introduced by Alexa Chung and following Keira's split from Rupert Friend, three months before.

A source said: "She's extremely happy right now and really enjoying spending time with James. He's a real rocker and a lovely guy with it and she likes that whole scene."

"Keira's really smitten with James but wants to just quietly get on with it and see what happens."

The Secret to Healthy Aging

Want to stay young in mind and body? Develop these lifelong habits.

Who doesn't wish for a fountain of youth? Magical youth-restoring springs exist only in legend, but science does point to a few simple, healthy habits that can help extend your life.

Heather Whitson, MD, MHS, assistant professor of medicine (geriatrics) and ophthalmology at Duke University School of Medicine, shares the most effective tips.

Role Reversal: Caregiving for Aging Parents

Hannah Kalil is 83 years old, and lives by herself in upstate New York. She has aides who help with her caregiving throughout the day. But the responsibility of managing her finances, health care -- both mental and physical -- and long-term living situation falls to one person: her daughter -- and my mother -- Eleanor. It's almost a full-time job. Making sure my grandmother is happy and not feeling lonely means daily visits. Her never-ending stream of medical issues means weekly -- if not...

Don't slow down. "Exercise and physical activity is where the strongest evidence lies, not just for reducing mortality, but also for across-the-board health benefits," Whitson says. She ticks off exercise's advantages: fewer heart risks, improved sleep and memory, less depression and pain, better bone strength, and fewer falls.

What kind of fitness is best? "If you're only able to do one kind of exercise, aerobic exercise is what you want to do," she says. In other words, walk briskly, ride a stationary bike, or take a dance class. Even better, alternate aerobics with strength and flexibility training for a well-rounded program.

Go Mediterranean. With its emphasis on fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and healthy fats, the Mediterranean diet has some solid evidence to show it can help you live longer. One study found that, compared with a low-fat diet, the Mediterranean way of eating can cut the risk of life-threatening heart attacks and strokes by 30%.

Stay connected. As family moves away and friends move on, you can lose touch and get isolated. Loneliness isn't just a state of mind. It takes a toll on the body, too. One study linked loneliness with a 45% increased risk of death. "The more connectedness people have, the better outcomes they have," Whitson says. Build a support network through your doctor, community center, or religious organization. Learn to use social networking web sites like Facebook and voice/imaging technologies such as Skype.

No butts. Whether heart disease, lung disease, or cancer eventually develops, a smoker's life will be cut short by roughly 13 to 14 years. It takes an average of seven attempts to ditch the habit for good. "Just because you've tried in the past doesn't mean you're incapable of quitting. It just means you're closer to the time when you succeed," Whitson says.

The Mediterranean diet has been linked to better heart health and greater longevity. Whitson recommends it to her patients.

Ban butter. Switch to unsaturated olive oil for cooking, and use olive oil for salad dressings. Vegetable oils such as canola and grape seed are also healthy.

Switch to fish. Twice a week, substitute a serving of salmon, herring, or albacore tuna for red meat.

Load up on veggies. Leave more room on your plate for vegetables like broccoli, kale, carrots, and tomatoes. Grill or steam them, or serve them raw, instead of frying.

The Secret to a Longer Life? Children

ByKathleen Doheny
WebMD Health News Reviewed byLouise Chang, MD

Dec. 5, 2012 -- Many parents might good-naturedly scoff at the notion, but a new study shows that being a parent may help you live longer.

Danish researchers compared men and women who had children with those who did not to see if the childless were more likely to die early.

They were. "Childless couples are at increased risk of dying early of all causes," says researcher Esben Agerbo, PhD, associate professor at Aarhus University in Aarhus, Denmark.

The benefit of parenthood on longevity was stronger for women than for men, says Agerbo.

The study findings echo those of previous research. It is published in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health.

Children & Longevity: Details

Agerbo used health and social registers in Denmark. He focused on more than 21,000 childless couples who registered for IVF treatment between 1994 and 2005.

He followed them from the time they began IVF treatment until the end of 2008, their death, their emigration, or a diagnosis of mental illness, another link he was exploring.

During the time period, more than 15,000 babies were born. Another 1,564 were adopted.

Death was rare. During the study period, 96 women and 220 men died. Parenthood apparently decreased the risk of early death. Mothers with a biological child were four times less likely to die an early death than childless women.

Fathers with a biological child were two times less likely to die an early death than childless men.

Men who adopted were nearly half as likely to die early as men who had no children.

For women, the effect of adoption on longevity was not significant, Agerbo says.

Explaining the Parenthood & Longevity Link

Agerbo says he found a link, not a proven cause and effect.

He can only speculate as to why parenthood may increase longevity.

''My best guess is health behaviors," he says. "When people have kids, they tend to live healthier."

They pay more attention, he says, to lifestyle habits. For instance, they may get to bed earlier and get more sleep, knowing they have to get up early to feed children and do other tasks.

Parenthood & Longevity: Perspective

The new findings echo those of Michael Eisenberg, MD, director of male reproductive medicine and surgery at Stanford University.

In a study published in 2011, he found that childless married men had a higher risk of dying from heart disease acquired after age 50 than did men with two or more children.

The new study findings, he says, are ''certainly consistent with the identified link between childlessness and cardiovascular mortality."

As for how to explain the link, he says, "our group [of researchers] subscribes to a biologic link."

He says that fertility problems, common among the childless, may share some of the same origins as other health problems.
