28-year-old model Chrissy Teigen was called 'fat' by Twitter trolls.

This and more news from the world of showbiz in this latest edition of our glamour round-up.

Chrissy Teigen recently reverted back to the critics who called her fat saying that she “f***ing did not care what they thought”.

The Victoria’s Secret model told People Magazine that if somebody told her that she looked curvier, then that should not be a diss and the fact was everyone is living in a time where that was considered a diss.

The 28-year-old model said that it was not just the supposedly curvy who should be left alone.

Teigen added that critics are hard to stomach sometimes.

Tyra Banks has openly spoken about her battles with weight, body image and self-esteem.

The former Victoria’s Secret angel told People Magazine at her TZONE Foundation Flawsome Ball that she had some of her girls that discussed their weight, and she honestly talked to them about it.

The 40-year-old TV personality asserted that there was one thing one could do, that was to say ‘You’re great’ repeatedly which will make them feel good in that moment while talking to them.

Banks explained that the girls used to go back in the crazy world of attacking, or looking in the mirror and did not feel good about them, and therefore, she told her girls that health was important, and they needed to get their shapes in shape and should avoid looking like somebody else.

The Descendants star Shailene Woodley has revealed that she eats clay as it helps her body to excrete unnecessary materials.

The 22-year-old actress talked about her clay-eating habit during her appearance on a chat show earlier this week, reported Ace Showbiz.

"I do eat clay. Clay is one of my favourites because if you look at indigenous cultures around the world, they eat clay almost daily," she said.

Woodley also explained that she ordered the edible clay from a company which obtains the material from Colorado. She eats a teaspoon of clay a day in addition to using it as toothpaste.

"Clay binds to other materials in your body and helps your body excrete those materials - that are not necessarily the best for you," she added.

Woodley next will be seen in The Fault in Our Stars. Based on a novel of the same name by John Green, the movie tells the story of teenagers who fall in love after taking part in a cancer support group.

Country star Taylor Swift has been getting fashion advice from Lena Dunham and says she has great taste when it comes to style blogs and stores.

The 24-year-old I Knew You Were Trouble singer, who walked the ramp at the annual Victoria's Secret fashion show last year, has been picking up style tips from the Girls creator, reported E! online.

"For fashion inspiration.. Lena Dunham always has great websites and shops at great stores. She always tells me her newest obsession, whether it is a new website, a blog or a store, she's really good with that stuff. And Zooey Deschanel is one of the most fashionable people I know," Swift said.

The singer is influenced by styles of past decades from the 50s and 60s through to the 90s and likes feminine clothing and classic pieces.

"I like to wear pearl earrings, I like red lips. I figure if I stick to classics I won't have as many cringe-worthy moments looking back 25 years from now," she said.
