Blake Lively, who is often envied for her tall and slim figure, has admitted that she has no interest in exercising to stay in shape and doesn't follow a specific diet or health routine.

The newlywed actress also disclosed that she never indulged in drugs and avoids alcohol.

"I wish I could lie and say that I do something, but...I obviously have plenty of imperfections on my body, but I'd rather have a little bit of cellulite and go do a food trip and try every ice-cream place in the South," Contactmusic quoted Blake as telling Allure.

The blonde beauty -- who wed Ryan Reynolds in a secret ceremony on Sunday -- is also not fond of partying and nightclubs.

"The music is so loud, you can't have a conversation with somebody. If I were an amazing dancer, yeah, I'd go, but I'm definitely not. My friend calls me a speed walker because my elbows are everywhere," the actress said.

"It's not like I decided on these strict lifestyle choices and I'm enforcing them. It's just something that I genuinely don't have a desire for," she added.

The 32-year-old revealed her slimmer figure on US TV on Monday.

"The easiest way to get motivated is to strip naked and look in the mirror. It's not fun to be talked about. It's not fun to be judged," Contactmusic quoted Simpson as telling the US news show Access Hollywood.

The actress seemed to be very happy, as she had been praised for her role in The Perks of Being a Wallflower as Sam.

Kate Middleton has been voted as having the hairstyle British women covet most.

The British royal polled over a quarter of the vote, while Holly Willoughby took in just under a fifth of the votes, in a survey conducted by salon products retailer Fabriah.com, the Daily Mail reported.

Experts at the company compiled a shortlist of the top ten celebrity hairstyles before opening it up to a public vote.

The poll of 500 women showed that big hair with volume and curls is definitely on trend, with singer Lana Del Rey, who has long, wavy hair, coming in third place.

Meanwhile, Jennifer Aniston -- who once had the most sought-after hair with her 'Rachel' style from Friends -- showed that she is still popular, with her current sleek look coming in at number four.

Francesca Davies from Fabriah.com said the results reflected the times, as Kate is currently the fashion icon of the moment, with women clamouring to copy her style.

"Truly great hair comes about rarely and when it does it is a real trend setter," she said.

"If we had taken this poll ten years ago Jennifer Aniston would have probably been number one."

The bottom three places in the poll went to reality star Kim Kardashian and Nicky Minaj, who both polled four per cent, and X Factor judge Tulisa Contostavlos who scored three.

Top 10 hairstyles:

1. Duchess Cambridge
2. Holly Willoughby
3. Lana Del Rey
4. Kelly Brook
5. Jennifer Aniston
6. Rochelle Hume
7. Victoria Beckham
8. Kim Kardashian
9. Nicky Minaj
