No, not literally. Don’t worry, fellas. Kim Kardashian has been working out extra hard to get ready for bikini season. The curvy reality star had this to say in an interview with US Weekly about the insane hours she’s been keeping at the gym:

“I have been going sooo hard in the gym, and I really feel it’s paying off!” she  blogs. “My tummy is soo toned. Why is it that the top part gets ripped first and the lower part is sooo hard to tone up!? I am determined to have a six pack by summer! In a feminine way, of course.”

The 5-foot-2, 118-pound Kardashian, 28, recently opened up to Us Weekly about how she whittled her size-6 physique down to a size 2.

Her routine involves “an upbeat warm-up, then upper-body cardio using 5-pound weights, a lower-body workout with squats and lunges,” she told Us. She finishes it off “with an abs series and stretching.”

Despite all the working out, she tells Us, “I love my curves and have to work out to maintain them. Actually, keeping my shape takes a lot more work than just doing nothing or being super-skinny. So this was about toning up, getting fit.” [Source]

You know, I had no idea Dash was so short. Just another example of how reality TV actually warps your perception of reality. Move over Jim Morrison, I’m about to break on through.

After one of the most storied careers in professional boxing, Oscar De La Hoya has finally decided to retire. Most of you probably won’t care about this but as an avid follower of the sport, this is big news to this body gossiper. The athlete-turned-entrepreneur won’t have any trouble staying busy out of the ring but still, Oscar’s emotions are understandably mixed about the big decision.

“I understand why athletes have such a hard time retiring,” Oscar De La Hoya said in his retirement speech Tuesday. “You always think you can do it one more time.” [Source]

Oscar has won so many titles in so many different weight classes and has generated so many millions of dollars for himself and many others, it’s safe to say he doesn’t need to do it one more time. And the last few times he’s done it, he hasn’t be so impressive. Now De La Hoya can retire, without scrambled eggs for brains, and enjoy the rest of his very rich life with his family.

These pics of Jessica Simpson were snapped last night after the singer enjoyed dinner out with the family at Katsuya. Jess looks slim and smokin’ and ready to rock in all that leather and denim. Perhaps the pop-songstress traded in her cowboy boots and Daisy Dukes for a shot at rock n’ roll stardom. Maybe this way she’ll be able to sell some records.

Samantha Ronson is about to be one lucky kid in one massive, glistening candy store. The celeb DJ has signed on to spin at the grand opening of Saphire 333, an upscale strip joint on New York’s tony Upper East Side. She’ll be joined by celeb hosts Audrina Patridge and Pamela Anderson. Looks like ol’ Sam timed her breakup from Lindsay Lohan pretty perfectly.

Seth Rogen has slimmed down considerably in preparation for his role in the “Green Hornet.” But the “Pineapple Express” star told the press recently that his weight loss was in the works long before he landed that plum role.

Apparently while he was filming in New Mexico for Observe and Report, that’s when he realized he needed to improve his health.

Seth claims “I’m somebody who can barely breathe in Los Angeles, which is at sea level. I can’t walk up a flight of stairs. Albuquerque is at an elevation of about two miles and the air is very thin. There were some big action scenes. Every day it felt as if I were climbing Everest. So the stunts were really hard, much harder than they should have been. I realized if I was going to make Green Hornet I needed to lose weight.”

But Seth didn’t do it just to look hot. He says, “Aside from how the character is supposed to look, I couldn’t physically make the movie in the shape I was in. It would have literally killed me.” [Source]

Hey, whatever the reason, Seth is looking great and I’m sure he’s feeling better too.

I like Rachel McAdams because she seems just a little bit off kilter. Like she can go from being sweet to slightly insane in a matter of seconds. This pic has her channeling her saintly side. I’m loving the flouncy hair and soft makeup. Not so sure about the outfit though. What say you?

Kim Kardashian apparently hates working out, which strikes me as funny since she’s about to release an exercise DVD. The curvy reality star recently revealed how she went from a size 6 to a size 2 in less than a week.

…it wasn’t thanks to starving herself that she accomplished such an amazing feat, she says, but because of an intense workout routine and going on a macrobiotic diet. Both are aimed to help her stay toned while also focusing on her health.

…for the launch of the fitness DVD, the star had to start working out more, so her training included, as per her own admission, daily sessions of at least two hours of exercise. Sometimes, Kim even did two sessions in the same die, with the same purpose of being in the best shape for the DVD launch.

Each session started with a warmup, followed by cardio exercises with five-pound weights. According to Kim, her favorite exercises are squats and lunges – ideal for the lower part of the body – but she also worked her abs and did some stretching at the end of each session. Because she hardly works out outdoors, Kim had to focus on her entire body in the gym, which is why she tried to work all the muscles with various exercises.

As for the diet, just recently, Kardashian discovered the many advantages of the macrobiotic diet, which includes, veggie burgers, quinoa, tofu and soy cheese. Low in fat, high in fiber and mostly vegan, the diet has worked wonders for the star so far, she says. However, she still indulges in her cravings every now and then, not being the one able to resist the temptation of burgers and fries. With all that, the socialite explains, she tries to avoid heavy carbs and is moderate even when she’s giving in to cravings. [Source]

I wish this damned DVD would launch already. Feels like it’s been in the works forever.

Who would have ever guessed that your best, most effective workout tool is sitting right below your ankles? Anna Faris seems to be ahead of the curve. She doesn’t waste too much time or money on unnecessary exercise equipment. When she wants to feel the burn, she laces up her sneaks and hits the trail.

To keep fit, Anna Faris heads outside for a cardio workout that’s also social. “I really like to hike. I love the idea that it invites so much conversation with the people that you’re with [and] you end up having great talks,” says the Observe and Report actress. “Before you realize that you’ve worked out hard, you’ve also had a great moment with your friends or whomever you’re with!”

Anna doesn’t limit her walking to the trails. She also does a fair amount of road work and did plenty of Pilates to shape up for her role in “The House Bunny.”
