Hollywood's hottest actresses are not taking their latest breakups lying down, according to the February 19 issue of US Weekly. More than a half dozen beautiful celebrities are getting even with their exes by looking sexy.

Drew Barrymore reportedly dropped 20 pounds after splitting with long-time boyfriend Fabrizio Moretti. She toned up her body by running five miles per day and by eating lean meats, vegetables and cereal. Hollywood sweetheart Reese Witherspoon reportedly slimmed down by running and practicing yoga. She has taken on a diet of high fiber foods and fish.

Kate Hudson has experienced more than her share of hurt after splitting with husband Chris Robinson, of the Black Crowes, in August 2006 and then broke up with new boyfriend Owen Wilson a few months later. Instead of locking herself in a room with a box of Krispy Kremes, Kate took action. She reportedly lost 10 pounds by running daily, taking strip aerobics classes and chowing down on sushi and fresh produce.

These stars prove to us underlings that breakups are not the end of the world and we can use the opportunity to get a fresh, and much healthier start. The truth is, eating healthier and exercising help to make us feel better about ourselves and life in general. Exercise releases endorphins in the brain that help us to feel calm and blissful. Fiber-rich foods release serotonin that makes us feel happy. So before you open a tub of Ben and Jerry's and get ready for a sob fest, reach for a bowl of fruit or a bran muffin instead and get on with life.
