How to Look Hot in a Minivan<br />

A Real Woman's Guide to Losing Weight, Looking Great, and<br />

Dressing Chic in the Age of the Celebrity Mom<br />

Janice Min<br />

The best-kept secrets of Hollywood moms–revealed by the former<br />

editor of US Weekly and current editorial director of The Hollywood<br />

Reporter<br />

Janice Min, was editor-in-chief of Us Weekly for six years where she documented one of the biggest cultural shifts of the<br />

last decade: The making and celebration of the Hollywood Mom. Think Angelina Jolie, Victoria Beckham, Heidi Klum, and<br />

Halle Berry—stars who proudly displayed their pregnancies, shed baby weight overnight, and helped turn the once frumpy<br />

bump industry into big business. Being a mom had become a style statement: skinny jeans replaced ‘mom’ jeans, Bugaboos<br />

became status symbols, and Pilates became a post-natal workout staple. Motherhood became chic, leaving regular moms<br />

across America, including Min, feeling both excited and anxious (what, one more thing to worry about?). But in How to<br />

Look Hot in a Minivan, Min dispels the idea that looking great post-pregnancy is only for the rich, pampered and lucky. In<br />

a style both smart and funny, she brings together top Hollywood experts in diet, fitness, fashion and beauty to show the<br />

reader the simplest, most cost-effective strategies for looking younger and better (without the guilt!), proving being a mom<br />

needn’t be a style liability.<br />

JANICE MIN has been profiled in The New York Times and Elle for her makeover of The Hollywood Reporter. As the editor of US<br />

Weekly for six years she doubled the magazine’s audience to 13 million and it garnered publishing’s highest honors, including<br />

Advertising Age’s Magazine of the Year and AdWeek’s Editor of the Year. Min was named one of the New York Post’s Most Powerful<br />

Women, described as having an "Oprah-esque power over celebrity culture" by the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, and is an in-demand<br />

expert for the Today show, CNN, ET, Good Morning America, and other national outlets. She is married and the mother of two children.<br />
