Madonna appears to have a new favorite restaurant in NYC. The 50-year-old singer dined at the Waverly Inn twice in one week recently, and the big draw seemed to be a certain entrée on the menu.
"She had the salmon with lentils," says an onlooker who spotted Madonna dining with pals Gwyneth Paltrow, Truth or Dare director Alek Keshishian and Jerry and Jessica Seinfeld on Jan. 14. Adds an insider, "She looked good!"
Indeed, these days Madonna is on a special "salmon retox" diet in an effort to turn back the clock. "She believes the omega-3 oils in salmon make her look younger and more radiant," reveals the insider.

Britney Spears says she doesn't like the word "comeback," but in 2008 the chart-topping singer certainly made one. And the most dramatic part of her return to the spotlight was the 20- to 25-pound weight loss that made the star's body look as toned as it did a decade ago.
Yet Brit, 27, didn't really mind dancing for two to four hours every day to get her 5-foot-4 body burning fat. "To me, dancing doesn't feel like exercise," Britney has told Life & Style. "I love it, and I'm always happy when I'm done."

Just weeks after giving birth to twins Max and Emme in February, Jennifer Lopez had already lost 40 of the roughly 50 pounds she'd gained while pregnant. And nearly seven months later, the 39-year-old star was making her babies proud while competing with pal Matthew McConaughey in a triathlon.
What's J.Lo's secret? For one thing, her trainer, Gunnar Peterson, tells Life & Style, "She's killing it in the gym three times a week."

It's not often a star admits to actually eating sweets and even rarer that she does it in public. "I eat whatever I want," Kim Kardashian, 28, tells Life & Style in an exclusive interview. "Life is too short not to."
Among her favorite indulgences: Oreos and candy. "I always have a stash of Hot Tamales or Skittles in my purse," she reveals. "I just have the biggest sweet tooth ever."
Still, the curvaceous star doesn't give in to every craving. "I used to eat all my snacks and desserts first — before my salad or my dinner — because I was so excited to get to them," Kim admits. "But now I try to fill up on healthier foods so that when it's time for something sweet, I don't end up stuffing my face. But I always have room for dessert!"
