Weddings are officially serious business, and lots of brides prepare for their nuptials the way a 5-star general might prepare for war. So, natch, why wouldn’t you apply the same principle to getting in shape for your wedding?

That’s the premise of Bridal Bootcamp, a fitness course-turned-VH1 reality show that promises to take a handful of weeks of your life and kick you into the best shape you’ve ever been in just in time to put on your frothy dress.

The fitness program was so successful that VH1 recruited two teams of blushing to-be-brides who wanted to get in shape before their big days and threw ‘em on TV to broadcast their struggle on national TV. Just like regular bootcamp, the show pushes the brides to the breaking point by forcing them to eat, drink, sleep, and breathe physical challenge. It makes for good TV for us – and hopefully lasting change for the brides.

If you’re married, did you go to lengths to look your best on your wedding day? Would you head off to a bootcamp to make the difference?

(Psst – smart brides know that the best way to reward hard fitness work is by entering our Wed Like A Celeb getaway for the chance to flaunt those Bridal Bootcamp results on the beach in Bora Bora…)

Jane Lynch, funnywoman and star of the breakout freshman hit Glee, is getting hitched this month – and she swears she hasn’t been engaging in any stereotypical celebrity bridezilla behavior (though she admits that her Glee character, Sue Sylvester, would be a bridezilla of the highest degree.)

While we’re all for celebrities acting like normal human beings when engaging in normal human tasks like “getting married”, we have to admit a temper tantrum or two from Lynch would probably be more funny than anything else.

Still, when you enter to win our Wed Like a Celeb giveaway (complete with designer gown and ultimate honeymoon in Tahiti) it’s good to make like Jane Lynch and swear that you won’t let the good life go to your head.

Love this picture from Hollywood Life... we can SO picture it!

Case: Any other eighty-nine year old who has accomplished as much in showbiz as Ms. White has would be content to rest on her laurels – we’re thinking a daily routine where nothing on her to-do list is more taxing than a few mimosas over Golden Girls reruns. But Betty has other plans in mind! She made a splash last weekend as the charming host of Saturday Night Live thanks to a vigorous Facebook campaign on her behalf, and now there those same Facebook fans are pushing for Betty to host the Oscars and guest-star on Glee – making her perhaps the world’s most beloved/hard-working octogenarian.

Spa Treatment Sentencing: Betty’s working hard and needs pampering! We sentence her to a 60-Min Hot Stone Massage – enough to be soothing, but not too rough. Just right for our favorite Golden Girl!

So you’ve always wanted to be a reality star, but your audition tapes for The Real World, Survivor, and the Amazing Race keep getting lost in the mail before the casting directors can realize your genius.

You know that, most of all, you’d make THE BEST Bachelor or Bachelorette. But darn ABC just hasn’t figured it out yet!

To soothe the sting of rejection, the best thing you can do is make sure you’re a star of your own reality show. And The BodyHoliday in St. Lucia has just the way to help you do it. Take your own paradise getaway to the very resort where the 14th season of the Bachelor was filmed – at very un-Hollywood prices.

At BodyHoliday, rejected would-be Bachelors are put to work.
