Aimee Garcia enjoying the Beach

Lucifer star Aimee Garcia wrapped up her summer with a trip to the beach and a dip in the ocean. Garcia, who plays Ella Lopez on the show, shared a stunning picture of herself standing in the surf, posing in a dark blue bikini. "Last days of summer ?," she captioned the post.

Garcia swears by regular exercise for her youthful looks. "I work out every day or at least I try to," she says. "I believe that exercise preserves youth more than anything else. Sometimes if I'm at home watching TV I do weight-lifting moves with cans during commercials. It really is that easy! Trust me, if you do that and throw in squats and a couple of push-ups during commercial breaks you will see a change in your body."

Garcia eats an avocado a day for health and beauty. "I swear by avocado," she says. "It's excellent for your hair and skin, so I eat one daily. I also love Thayers Original Witch Hazel Astringent, which I pick up at Whole Foods. I use it after washing my face, and I even remove my makeup with it. I also get facials twice a year with the incredible Shani Darden, who I found through Jessica Alba. I trust Jessica—she's built an empire on her face."

Garcia washes her hair every three days to maintain health and moisture. "I have kind of frizzy hair because I am half Puerto Rican so I really like Jonathan products," she says. "When I use his conditioner I don't have to put any sort of balm afterwards because it just smoothes away any unruly hairs… I'm a big eyebrows girl. I like to keep things really natural and I think eyebrows really frame your face."

Garcia is inspired by Natalie Portman's looks and style. "I love that she always looks like herself," she says. "She's classy, chic and yet relatable. She's the face of Dior, but can also be girl-next-door. She's managed to navigate between being a beauty icon, Oscar-winning actresses, Ivy League graduate and down-to-earth humanitarian."

Garcia is proud to represent her community on screen. "I feel a big responsibility to represent what it means to be a Latina to a global audience," she says. "I'll never forget when a group of young girls [Latinas] came up to me and said, 'Oh my God, we love Veronica on the George Lopez show! She's so funny and stylish, and we love that she's a Latina millionaire.' And I thought, Wow, the roles that I pick aren't just to pay rent but they're also to represent my community. It's bigger than me."

Salma Hayek is 54 and looking better than ever

The Mexican actress celebrated turning a year older "I am very grateful and proud for every single one of my 54 years. Thank you for all the birthday wishes, especially to my fans who made a special account for my birthday”.

The Frida star received birthday messages from celeb pals like Reese Witherspoon, Natalie Portman, Gemma Chan, Freida Pinto and many more.

Earlier this year, Hayek had the best response to an internet troll who accused her of having "too much Botox." After sharing a stunning selfie of herself at the beach, she quipped back, "I don't have Botox, but thank you for the advice because I was thinking maybe it's time."

Hayek did get candid with ET last December, when she revealed that she had thought about getting Botox to get into character as beauty mogul Claire Luna for her flick, Like a Boss.

While she wasn't able to go through with it, because she had another movie coming up that required "no makeup and no hair" styling "I couldn't have had that leftovers" -- she said she wasn't opposed to it in the future.

Natalie Portman is backpedaling from her comments about Jessica Simpson

Natalie Portman is backpedaling from her comments about Jessica Simpson. Portman said that her intention wasn't to shame the singer. 

"I would never intend to shame anybody and that was absolutely not my intention," Portman told Entertainment Tonight. 

After the originial comments Jessica Simpson wrote on Instagram. "As public figures, we both know our image is not totally in our control at all times, and that the industry we work in often tries to define us and box us in.

However, I was taught to be myself and honor the different ways all women express themselves, which is why I believed then – and I believe now – that being sexy in a bikini and being proud of my body are not synonymous with having sex."

Portman continued on Entertainment Tonight. "I was really talking about mixed media messages out there for young women and completely apologize for any hurt it may have caused because that was definitely not my intention."

She added, "What I said was I was confused by mixed messages when I was a young girl growing up, and there are a lot of messages for how women should be, and women should be allowed to do whatever they want."

Being sexy in a bikini and being proud of your body are not synonymous with having sex says Jessica Simpson

Jessica Simpson has called out Natalie Portman in an open letter, saying she is 'disappointed' the actress 'shamed' her for posing in a bikini in a photo that was taken nearly two decades ago. 

Natalie, 37, plays a pop star in her upcoming film, Vox Lux, and while promoting the movie, she reflected on the singers she grew up with, recalling a photo she saw of Jessica, 38, when she was a teen. 

"I remember being a teenager, and there was Jessica Simpson on the cover of a magazine saying "I’m a virgin" while wearing a bikini, and I was confused.

Like, I don’t know what this is trying to tell me as a woman, as a girl," Natalie told USA Today.  Just one day after the interview was published, Jessica took to Instagram and Twitter to share her powerful response, tagging Natalie in the post. 

"I was disappointed," wrote Jessica "when I read that I "confused" you by wearing a bikini in a published photo taken of me when I was still a virgin in 1999," she wrote. 

"As public figures, we both know our image is not totally in our control at all times, and that the industry we work in often tries to define us and box us in. 

However, I was taught to be myself and honor the different ways all women express themselves, which is why I believed then — and I believe now — that being sexy in a bikini and being proud of my body are not synonymous with having sex,' she continued. 

"I have always embraced being a role model to all women to let them know that they can look however they want, wear whatever they want and have sex or not have sex with whomever they want. The power lies within us as individuals."
