FameCrawler : Melissa Joan Hart

Melissa Joan Hart Has a Fondness for Jelly Bellies and Nerds

sweatpantsmom — Sun, 31 May 2009 18:05:00 GMT

But only the ones she sells in her candy store. The actress celebrated the grand opening of her own sweet shop in Los Angeles on Saturday, along with husband Mark Wilkerson, 32, lead singer for the band Course of Nature, and their sons Mason, 3, and Braydon, 14 months. I'll go ahead and state the obvious - they were like kids in a candy store!

Hart says the store is the culmination of a life-long goal. "It's been a dream of mine since I was a kid," she says of the idea she came up with together with mom Paula Hart. "I'm so excited to start this next adventure in my life." The star of Sabrina the Teenage Witch had friends Kellie Martin, Soleil Moon Frye and Jaime Pressly at the opening to start her on her way.

The store, cleverly named SweetHarts, features 200 different kinds of candy including Big League Chew, Jelly Bellies, Candy Lipstick, Nerds, Junior Mints and Bubble Tape gum.
They'll also sell frozen yogurt in flavors such as peach and bubble gum. "I love all the different candy because they remind me of my childhood," says Hart as she served up yogurt from behind the counter. "I can't wait for my kids to have their birthday parties here."

My teeth hurt just thinking about it. Which means I need to head on over there right away.

Melissa Joan Hart's Bikini Bod Part 2!

Sassy Smith — Sun, 31 May 2009 16:07:00 GMT

Melissa Joan Hart is looking fit and sexy on the cover of PEOPLE! Regaining her figure was a lot of hard work and her new bikini bod didn't happen over night. The 33-year-old actress and mom of two, recalls her "horrifying" moment in 2005, when she was pregnant with son Mason: "I looked down and I had tons of cellulite around my knees!" She knew she wanted to make changes - so, how did she get to where she is now?

One more pic after the jump

Melissa gained 55 lbs. and on her 5'2" frame, her weight of 170 lbs. was too much. "I knew I was huge. But that was crazy," admits Melissa.

Last June, she was about 155 lbs. - 3 months after giving birth to second son, Braydon - and paparazzi had photographed her in a bathing-suit, which led to cruel Internet attacks about her body.

Melissa said, "I still read blogs about me discussing how fat I've become. Everyone thinks I'm still huge. But I'm not anymore!"

So, how did Melissa get back in shape? "It didn't happen by magic - it was as hard for me as it would be for anyone else," said the Sabrina star.

How Melissa Did It:

Her diet: Melissa worked with nutritionist Derek Johnson at New Metabolism to change her diet. She keeps a food journal, writing down everything she eats to ensure she makes healthy choices. Breakfast is often a protein shake with ricemilk and flax seeds, lunch might be a whole wheat turkey wrap with avocado, hummus and tomatoes, and dinner is usually salmon or halibut. When hunger pangs strike, she reaches for unsalted almonds or a slice of prosciutto with feta cheese, or pops a piece of gum to stave off cravings.

Her workout: Three times a week, Melissa hits the gym with her trainer Mark Harari at Pulse Fitness Studio to do a 60-minute routine of interval training, mixing weights and resistance bands. She also takes two group classes a week, such as spinning.

Melissa Joan Hart Shows Off Bikini Bod!

Sassy Smith — Fri, 29 May 2009 12:08:00 GMT

Actress Melissa Joan Hart, 33, mom of two sons, Mason, 3, and Braydon, 14 months, is showing off her new post-baby body! At 113 pounds, she's confident enough to wear a bikini! However, the pretty Sabrina star didn't always feel this secure with her body and it took a lot of hard work to lose 42 pounds.

From PEOPLE:

"I still read blogs about me discussing how fat I've become," the former Sabrina, the Teenage Witch star tells PEOPLE in the new issue, available on newsstands Friday.

"Everyone still thinks I'm huge," says Hart, 33, whose post-pregnancy body was the subject of cruel Internet attacks after she gave birth to sons Mason, 3, and Braydon, 14 months, with husband, Course of Nature lead singer Mark Wilkerson, 32. "But I'm not anymore!"

Hart understands the confusion. After all, the public has grown accustomed to seeing celebs get back in their skinny jeans mere weeks after giving birth. "There are enormous pressures put on you in Hollywood," she says.

Her inspiration to finally get back in the best shape of her life? The women in her life, including her friend, actress Jaime Pressly, who has a son, Dezi, 2, as well as her own mom Paula, who gave birth to seven children "and is tiny!" Hart says. "I realized I didn't have to be heavy just because I have kids."

Adds Pressly: "She finally took the time to take care of herself. I'm blown away by how amazing she looks."

Reclaiming her slim figure took Hart 14 months of hard work. "It didn't happen by magic – it was as hard for me as it would be for anyone else," she says. The fact that it took a little longer doesn't bother her. "I didn't want to take any time away from spending it with my sons," she explains.

To get back in bikini shape, Hart worked with nutritionist Derek Johnson at New Metabolism to change her diet. She also hit the gym with her trainer Mark Harari at Pulse Fitness Studio.

As for how she feels now? "I feel amazing!" she says. "I had to prove to myself that I could do it. I had to give it a go!"

She looks awesome, and I'm glad she didn't try to starve herself to get back to that body within weeks of giving birth!

Melissa Joan Hart Decided Not to Take Her Clothes Off

sweatpantsmom — Mon, 27 Apr 2009 22:15:00 GMT

For those of you who were hoping to see Sabrina The Teenage Witch cast off her supernatural cloak and prance around naked, you were no doubt disappointed at this news. Apparently actress Melissa Joan Hart, during her heyday in the successful TV series, turned down a $1 million offer to pose nude in Playboy.

Hart, desperate to break out of the 'good girl' roles she had played in Sabrina and Nickelodeon's Clarissa Explains It All, almost accepted Hugh Hefner's tempting offer. "They came around and offered me a million dollars, which I had to seriously consider," she tells the NY Post. "Initially it's like, 'Yeah, I'll take my clothes off for a million bucks, are you kidding?' It's the big question: what will you do for a million dollars?"

After turning down Hefner's offer, she did agree to pose in her underwear for rival publication Maxim, a move she says she regrets after it resulted in one of her younger brothers being humiliated and having the cover "shoved in his face for months."

Looks like turning down Playboy was a wise decision; Hart is now a mother of two young children, and the embarrassment her brother felt probably would be ten-fold for her kids someday. Are you listening Pam Anderson?

Melissa Joan Hart Wants Daughters, Keeps Having Sons

Josh loposer — Tue, 21 Apr 2009 13:27:00 GMT

TV star Melissa Joan Hart is a machine... not really. What I mean is that she wants daughters so bad that she'll stop at nothing until she has a couple. At 33, ~~Clarissa~~ ~~Sabrina~~ Melissa has two boys already, but she's prepared to give it as many tries as it takes.

“I want to try for a girl and if we don’t have a girl, I’ll try again for a girl but if we do have a girl, I’ll try again for a sister.”

Melissa says that her two boys, Mason, 3, and Braydon, 13 months, have taught her a little about savoring the freedom of pre-baby lifestyle:

"I’ve worked since I was four; I’ve had every kind of job; I’ve worked every kind of hours in different conditions and cities and places and I would say being a mom is the hardest job there is."

As far as advice for those who don't yet have any little ones in the house:

"See movies, read books and sleep, because you’ll never do those things again."

Some of you may know her as Sabrina the Teenage Witch, but I'll always think of Melissa Joan Hart as Clarissa. Which kinda makes it weird that she's having children at all, but that's beside the point. It sounds like MJH is dead set on having at least 4 kids, possibly more.

Kudos to her for juggling two kids and still having the energy to want more, all while starring in an ABC Family show My Fake Finace' which debuted Sunday.

Melissa Joan Hart Takes a Walk With Her Boys

trix — Mon, 02 Feb 2009 18:05:00 GMT

Look at Melissa Joan Hart and her husband setting all the right examples for their boys.

The right examples are:

They are showing them that it's great to get outside and exercise, by walking.

They are spending time together and what's more important than family togetherness.

They are also dressed casually, which means that they are comfortable in their own skin and that appearance isn't the most important thing.

All these things lead to successful, well adjusted children. Do you do any of the above? I know I sure as heck try to, but it doesn't always work out that way. As long as we try though, right?

P.S. I never noticed that her husband is so cute.

Melissa Joan Hart Wants More Babies

trix — Sat, 17 Jan 2009 15:06:00 GMT

Melissa Joan Hart is thinking about having another kid. She already has two, and yet she yearns for another.

Her baby is only 10 months old and she says that she isn't ruling out another baby.

She has two boys and they are a little less than 3 years apart and in my experience that's a perfect distance between them.

She says that, “It’s getting to be a little bit crazy around the house. They’re definitely fighting over toys and Brady’s starting to walk which Mason doesn’t like. He’s wanting to knock him down all the time.”

My boys were like that too, but now they love each other so much. Zane doesn't want to do anything without his BoBo.

Caroline Rhea Welcomes a Daughter with the Longest Last Name in the World

Karl Erikson — Thu, 23 Oct 2008 23:07:00 GMT

It's a little Rhea of sunshine for Caroline Rhea and boyfriend Costaki Economopoulos. Ah, a nice Irish boy. I think he's making that name up. But no matter, what's important is that the couple have a brand new baby daughter. Little Ava Rhea Economopoulos was born Monday, coming it at 8 lbs, 15 oz and measuring 22-1/2 inches long. That's a big girl!

Caroline and Costaki said they wanted to minimize the damage of Ava's last name. "We wanted the shortest first name possible," Caroline says, "since her last name is the entire alphabet. It was either Ava or Emmy, because I've always wanted an Emmy."

She's still got it. Caroline, a comic actress known mostly for the wacky aunt on "Sabrina, The Teenage Witch," now stars in the Logo Network series, "Sordid Lives."

Congrats to Caroline and Costaki. Just please don't make me type that last name again.

Former Witch Melissa Joan Hart Talks Family Values

Karl Erikson — Fri, 05 Sep 2008 20:04:00 GMT

Melissa Joan Hart, former teenage witch and mom of two sons, talked recently to Tasty Baby about her family. Melissa's boys are Mason Walter, 2, and Braydon Hart, 5 months. Hart is the oldest of seven kids...yikes!

She says "I have always made my family come first and now I have my own little family to care for. Helping them become incredible adults is my biggest job now."

Her favorite family tradition: "We go to Disneyland on a birthday."

She also says she's trying to be green, but "it is so difficult with kids. With kids you want everything easy and clean and sometimes disposable stuff is the way to go."

The number one thing she's trying to teach her children: "I want them to try a little of everything and pick what they like when they are older. I always wanted my kids to have every opportunity to get really good at something that could stick as a hobby or career. I have been looking for a hobby my whole life but havent been able to find one."

Sounds like Sabrina has a good head on her shoulders, and is raising her kids to have the same. That's an odd thing in the celebrity world.

Tori Spelling Married a Rock

Karen — Mon, 26 May 2008 23:02:00 GMT

Tori Spelling, VERY VERY VERY pregnant with her first daughter, wasn't prepared for motherhood while pregnant, "I didn't anticipate how hard it would be physically - having a 14-month-old and being very pregnant. I know there are a lot of single moms out there, God bless them! But I can barely carry Liam. I'm really exhausted, and working a lot. So having Dean there by my side, he's my strength. He's my rock.

"When Liam wakes up at five in the morning, I'm thinking, 'Oh my God...' And before I can even put a foot out of the bed, Dean is up. He's got the bottle in one hand, the diaper in the other. And I just think, 'Oh, I love you!' "

Tori also revealed Dean's involvement in their family life has enabled her to become a better mother.

She added: "All my girlfriends have husbands who have stepped up too. I think this really empowers women to take her career back, do what she wants to do and still be a great mom and a great wife."

Tori Spelling Designs Unborn Daughter's Nursery With Serena & Lily

Karen — Mon, 26 May 2008 00:34:00 GMT

While Tori Spelling and hubby Dean can't seem to settle on a name for their unborn daughter, they sure have decided on how to decorate their nursery: with the help of Serena & Lily.

“With Liam (Tori’s now 14-month-old son)it was a no brainer. We thought of Liam -- and that was it. With our baby girl, we’ve been going back and forth, and back and forth with names. We think it’s a sign that we should wait to see her.”

Tori's daughter is going to have the chicest, girliest, all-pink nursery around – and Tori is designing it by herself. She's been using the book Serena & LIly: Nursery Style.
