Model and actress Marisa Miller covers the latest issue of Women's Health, in which she spills her secrets for maintaining her amazing figure, keeping her marriage strong and making the switch from modeling to acting.
Here are some highlights from the interview...
Marisa on eating naked as a diet trick...
"Eating smart is all about having an awareness of your body. The most obvious way to do that is by seeing it. So when you're trying to lose weight, spend more time wearing less. I don't think I could eat a plate of nachos naked -- could you?"
Marisa on keeping things fresh for her husband...
"My job is great, because I come home from work every day made over. So Griffin can get 20 different women in one month!"
Marisa on making the switch from modeling to acting...
"Eighty percent of the things I do are not natural for my personality. I believe you have to fake it till you make it. Act like you're confident and you'll get there."

Scarlett Johansson, Cosmopolitan
"I'm attracted to the quality of being adventurous and perhaps a bit mischievous and also questioning authority and being proactive. If that makes up a quintessential bad boy, then whatever. I'm not at all attracted to meanness or bullying, but I do think conviction is attractive. I mean, really, who doesn't?"
Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi, Architectural Digest
Talk show giant Ellen DeGeneres and wife Portia de Rossi cover Architectural Digest sharing the inside of their incredible Beverly Hills home.The property sits on a three-acre lot with a luxurious pool and amazing views of L.A., but DeGeneres remembers she wasn't always so fortunate. "We never had a house when I was growing up. We always rented. But my father would dream, and we used to look at houses all the time. I'd pick out which bedroom would be mine and get all excited."The couple just put their home on the market for $49 million.
Sarah Jessica Parker, Parade Magazine
The actress revealed, "There is. I know what the story is. It's a small story, but I think it should be told. The question is: what's the right time to tell it?"On fraternal twins Loretta and Tabitha, Parker said, "They're talking, they're running, they need me. Loretta is deeply inquisitive; "'Do you see that, do you hear that, Mama?' She constantly checks that we are connecting with her." Her sister is the family princess; "Tabitha does not give; she receives."Parker believes that James Wilkie is most like her. "He has neuroses that I can see are mine. This need to strive for perfection -- I have some control over that because I'm a grown-up and have perspective, but he's still really frustrated when he can't do something spot-on. But James Wilkie is a lot more bold than I was. I was not outgoing."Read more of Parade's interview with Parker! [https://www.parade.com/celebrity/2011/08/sarah-jessica-parker.html]

"Sometimes it's hard being with someone for a long time. We go through periods that aren't all rosy. I always say, life is long and you never know what's going to happen. If, God forbid, we were ever not to be together, I respect him so much as the father of my children. Like, I made such a good choice. He's such a good dad. You can never be relaxed or smug and think, I've got this thing. That's also part of it -- keeping yourself on your toes. I'm not going to take this for granted."
Kim Kardashian, Cosmopolitan
"Sometimes I feel like a zoo animal," admits Kardashian. "I'll be at a restaurant, and someone will put their phone in front of my face and take a picture without saying hi."
Katy Perry, Rolling Stone
"I started praying for breasts when I was, like, 11," she laughed. "And God answered that prayer above and beyond, by, like, 100 times, until I was like, 'Please, stop, God. I can't see my feet anymore. Please stop!' I was a lot more rectangular then. I didn't understand my body. Someone in sixth grade called me 'Over-the-shoulder boulder holder.' I didn't know I could use them. So, what I did was, I started taping them down. How long did I tape them down for? Probably until I was about 19. And, no, I don't have any psychological pain because of it."Watch the behind-the-scenes coverage of her photo shoot and read more of the interview at RollingStone.com.

"I had all these number-one records, and I had sold all these albums, and it was sort of this turning point: Am I going to try and embrace Hollywood and assimilate to that culture?
