In 2003, as the newly named editor in chief of Us Weekly magazine, Janice Min was busy documenting a seismic cultural shift: the making of the �Hollywood Mom.� Think Angelina Jolie, Victoria Beckham, Halle Berry, and Beyonc��stars who proudly displayed their pregnancies, shed the baby weight overnight, and helped turn the once-frumpy bump industry into seriously big business. In the blink of an eye, it seemed, �skinny jeans� had replaced �mom jeans.� Bugaboos had become status symbols. Motherhood itself had become an exciting style statement. And then�just eight weeks after her big promotion�Janice discovered that she was pregnant, too.�I started ogling, with morbid fascination, the photographs that flooded my office�red-carpet and paparazzi shots of celebrities in bikinis and bandage dresses mere weeks after giving birth,� she writes. �I�d stare at my own ever-expanding body. Then I�d stare at Heidi Klum (who gave birth one month before my due date and managed to bounce back before I�d even hit the delivery room). How did these women do it? I wondered.� How to Look Hot in a Minivan was born.With her trademark self-deprecating style and tongue-in-cheek humor, Janice set out to debunk some of Hollywood�s biggest mommy myths. Then she brought together the industry�s biggest experts in fitness, fashion, beauty, and all-things-baby to divulge the secrets behind the stars� seemingly effortless postpartum style. Serving up practical, honest, and often surprising advice for new moms everywhere, Janice and her arsenal of experts reveal: � The 10 Wardrobe Essentials every chic mom should own� How to style red carpet-worthy hair, even on school days� The secrets to hiding a postnatal stomach pooch� The truth behind the C-tuck (Do celebrity moms sometimes slim down courtesy of a combination cesarean section-tummy tuck?) � Hollywood�s Biggest Losers (What did it really take for stars like Kate Hudson, Milla Jovovich, and Poppy Montgomery to lose the baby weight?)In How to Look Hot in a Minivan, Min dispels the idea that looking great post-pregnancy is only for the rich, the pampered, and the lucky. With Min�s guilt-free, stay-sane strategies, moms everywhere can look and feel like stars�whether their baby is six months or sixteen years.
