Do attractive people just fall out of bed looking perfect? We ask some good-looking folks  what habits they adopt that make them look a cut above the rest. Is there a golden pill they pop before bed? Do they bathe in milk evey night? Eat placenta?

Then, even the genetically blessed may not always remain that way without a little helping hand here and there. For the rest of us, we give thanks when these gorgeous stars drop us tidbits as rewards for our stalking loyal support.
