Melissa Rycroft: ‘My Baby Helped Me Get My Bikini Body'

Melissa Rycroft has never felt more confident in a bikini! Posing exclusively for the new issue of In Touch — on newsstands now — the Bachelor alum reveals that she’s whittled away the 50 pounds she gained while pregnant with her daughter, Ava, by simply capitalizing on her new chores and mommy duties.

“I’ve got a natural weight right here,” Melissa, 29, tells In Touch, about swapping her dumbbells for her daughter. “If I just hold her everywhere I go, I’m carrying an 18-pound load. The biceps and triceps that have come naturally are a blessing!”

Her other built-in calorie burners: laundry, cleaning and pushing Ava around her new LA neighborhood.

“I can’t really go to the gym, so I have to find other ways,” says the former Bachelor finalist. “I always laughed when I heard women say, ‘Chasing after my child is my workout,’ but it’s definitely worked!”

DWTS’ William Levy's Miami Home In Foreclosure

William Levy may be one of the hottest stars on Dancing With the Stars, but his financial life is a mess. In Touch can reveal that the home he owns in Miami with girlfriend Elizabeth Gutierrez is in the middle of foreclosure proceedings — and likely to be sold at a public auction on June 11!

Court papers, obtained by In Touch, reveal that William, 31, owes $20,000 on the property.

And this isn’t the Latin actor’s first brush with the law. As In Touch previously reported, his driver's license was recently suspended for the second time in a year for failing to pay tickets!

Rihanna: Another Man Revealed

In Touch can exclusively reveal that Rihanna is turning her attention over to another new man — New York Knicks star J.R. Smith.

Multiple sources tell the new issue of In Touch, on newsstands now, that the two were spotted getting cozy at Veranda nightclub in NYC on May 6.

“They were very flirty in the club all night and holding hands,” an eyewitness who was at the hotspot tells In Touch. “She was sitting on his lap and was really into him.”

J.R., 26, made headlines in March when he was fined $25,000 by the NBA after tweeting a photo of a woman’s butt in a thong from his bed.

“He is the team’s most controversial player, so it’s no wonder that Rihanna likes him,” says a source.

Her latest hot hookup comes after two recent disses from ex-boyfriends. First, the 24-year-old singer unfollowed Chris Brown on Twitter after he allegedly took an X-rated shot at her promiscuity in a rap, in which he implied she had slept with everyone in the industry. (Chris, 23, soon deleted her from his account, too.) Drake, 25, was next to trash her, releasing a song called “No Lie,” in which he boasted of only wanting to sleep with her once.

“I definitely like high-risk guys,” Rihanna has said. “I don’t like cream puff, corny guys… the nice ones that won’t hurt you. I like the edge. That’s the thrill for me.”

Ryan Gosling Wins Over Eva Mendes' Mom!

Ryan Gosling has impressed the most important person in girlfriend Eva Mendes’ life — her namesake mom, Eva!

In Touch has learned that Ryan won over Eva’s Cuban-born mom during a dinner at her daughter's Los Feliz home in early May. “Eva’s mom was gushing over Ryan,” an eyewitness tells In Touch. “As she was leaving, Eva’s mom was hugging and kissing Ryan. She loves him!”

An insider adds that the actor is “totally head over heels” for his girlfriend of eight months. The couple was spotted holding hands and skipping in front of NYC restaurant Lucien on May 10, where an onlooker tells In Touch they looked “really cute together.”

Meanwhile, Ryan’s mom, Donna, has already met and spent quality time with her son’s girlfriend in NYC in early January, when the trio saw a movie together.

Eva and Ryan started dating last fall after Eva split from her boyfriend of 10 years, filmmaker George Augusto. “He makes her so happy,” says a friend.

Kim Kardashian Shunned By Hollywood

clip_image001.jpg The fame Kim Kardashian has worked so hard to achieve is slipping away and even boyfriend Kanye West can’t help the reality star! Banned from the swanky annual Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute Gala by the host herself, Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour, Kim was forced to stay home poring over pictures of the event’s A-list guests.

Now, In Touch has learned that Kanye went as far as to ask renowned designer Tory Burch, who dressed him for the exclusive gala, for help. “He asked Tory if Kim could accompany him as his date,” a fashion insider tells In Touch. “There was nothing Tory could do against Anna’s wishes, but if Kanye had requested to invite a well-liked celebrity, it surely wouldn’t have been an issue.”

“She was so upset that he went to the Met event without her,” an insider shares of the star.

After Kim’s quickie divorce filing, her onetime friends began abandoning her in droves, with former pals like Jennifer Lopez, Beyoncé and Eva Longoria keeping their distance. Kim’s splashy TV wedding “didn’t sit well” with Gwyneth Paltrow either. “She’d die if she were photographed next to Kim,” a pal tells In Touch. “She hates what she stands for.”

Sadly, Kim is far from well-liked these days. “She’s always wanted to surround herself with famous people, but they don’t want anything to do with her anymore,” confides a source close to the 31-year-old.

Bachelor Alum Michelle Money: “Emily Is 100% In It To Find Love”

Regarded as one of the most talked about TV personalities in Bachelor history, Michelle Money has often been perceived as a villainess. In an exclusive interview with In Touch, the hair and makeup stylist turned reality star reveals how she stripped away her bad girl persona to empower teenage girls (and gives her advice to best pal Emily Maynard as she begins her dramatic Bachelorette journey!).

“My passion is helping women feel confident,” Michelle, who recently teamed up with Big Brothers Big Sisters to award four underprivileged high school students the ultimate fantasy prom makeover, shares. “We hear of prom makeover stories, but less about the ones where celebs step in to create the magic themselves... so this was right up my alley.”

While the makeover includes a beauty prep room at NYC’s Roommate Grace hotel, pampering at The Finishing Bar with manicure and pedicure treatments, shoes, accessories, hair and makeup by Michelle, and a dress from K.Borgella's spring/summer 2011 and 2012 collection, Michelle says she also hopes to provide beauty tips and tricks that will enable the four young women to be more confident in their everyday lives.

“Whenever girls come to my salon and ask to look like a certain celebrity I remind them, ‘You don’t want to look like her! You want to look like you!’” she says.

And after feeling misunderstood after contending for Brad Womack’s heart on TV, Michelle also shares her advice on what Emily needs to do to get through the drama.

“You just have to stay true to who you are… Things will be manipulated,” she warns. “If you worry too much about what other people think it will drive you mad.”

Michelle also tells In Touch that Emily struggled with the decision to be the next Bachelorette.

“At the end of the day, Emily wants to find love,” she shares. “She wants it for Ricki, for herself… why not take this experience and give it a shot?”

The Bachelorette premieres tonight at 9:30 p.m. ET on ABC.

Smash's Will Chase: My Daughters Aren't Allowed To Watch My Show!

will1_wide.jpg
Will Chase may spend his time on the set of Smash belting out ballads, but come airtime, he finds himself pressing the fast-forward button.

After some consideration, the actor deemed some of the hit show’s material too mature for his young daughters! “When you're shooting it, you're not thinking about the show,” Will, the proud father of Daisy, 13, and Gracie, 10, tells In Touch. “Sometimes you watch and you're not paying attention, and there's naked people or a bed scene!”

He eventually concluded that the show would have to be edited for his girls, who enjoy watching their superstar dad on the small screen. "They love all the singing," he says.

While having a father on TV may be fun, Will admits he isn’t a stranger to typical father-daughter dynamics. “They think I'm cool," he says. "But I'm a dad, so they think I'm a dork, too.”

Tune into Smash’s season finale tonight, May 14, on NBC at 10 p.m. ET to catch Will and the rest of the cast sift through their theater-world drama.

Hilary Duff's "Not Stressed" About Losing Baby Weight!

hil1_wide.jpg
Unlike most Hollywood moms who start dieting the second their baby pops out, Hilary Duff is taking a more realistic approach. "I try to eat organic, but I’m not a total freak about it," the new mom to 2-month-old Luca told In Touch at a recent Johnson & Johnson event in LA. "I eat a lot of protein and a lot of fruits and vegetables."

However, Hilary and her husband, Mike Comrie, aren't willing to give up indulging entirely, either. "When we go out to restaurants, we want to order naughty food and enjoy it," Hilary, 24, revealed.

But as far as exercise, she is seriously working up a sweat doing a mix of SoulCycle, Pilates and circuit training with her fitness guru, Harley Pasternak. "I’m not stressing about it. I’m working out hard, but I know I’m not going to see results until I’m eating really good," she explains.

Drake's Romancing Two Cougars!

drake1_wide.jpg
Drake is no stranger to female attention. He’s dated Rihanna, Nicki Minaj and Amber Rose among many others. But now Drake, 25, has become the main attraction for two older women.

Even though their reps of course insist they are just friends, a source says the rapper has been secretly dating Rashida Jones, 36, since they met at Sundance earlier this year. “She wants them to go public, but he’s reluctant,” says the source.

Maybe it’s because he was just spotted having frozen yogurt with Tyra Banks, 38, at Disneyland.
