The Grammy-nominated singer, who had a C-section after 19 hours of labor, tells Us Weekly she has lost 27 of the 45 pounds she gained. "I've been eating salads and fruit like crazy," she says.


She says she plans to breast-feed for a year. "I’m surprised how hungry she is," Milian tells Us Weekly of Violet. "Like, how do I keep up?"

Jamaicans Jeneil Williams and Naomi Campbell both posed nude on the 3rd issue of LOVE Magazine. The photos were shot by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggot. On sale 8th Feb 2010.









According to The Daily Mail:

LOVE's editor Katie Brand said: 'For this issue of LOVE, we took eight women who are generally acknowledged as the most beautiful in the world, got them to show off their bodies - widely regarded as the most perfect in the world - and photographed them all in exactly the same position for the cover.

'We did this to show how much they differed physically from one another, which is why we also printed their measurements. The other models to appear are Kate Moss, Natalia Vodianova, Amber Valletta, Lara Stone Kristen McMenamy and Daria Werbowy.
