Elisabeth Hasselbeck Bares Her Body After Baby

Originally posted 05/07/2008 09:30AM

Just six months after the birth of her second child, The View's Elisabeth Hasselbeck is ready to show off her bikini body.

"Body image has nothing to do with scale numbers, it's how you feel inside," Hasselbeck, who turns 31 this month, told Fitness magazine. "This is the first time I've felt free from that, because I am working out in a way where I feel so strong that there's no room for those doubts."

She adds: "I finally told myself ... 'I've got some curves, I've got a bubble butt, but I don't mind, because it's what powers me forward when I run.' "

Christina Ricci: I Want Jessica Biel's Butt

Originally posted 04/02/2008 12:15PM

Move over, Justin.

Jessica Biel has found a new No. 1 fan in Christina Ricci.

The 5-foot-tall actress – who had to fill out a pair of barely-there hot pants for her upcoming role in Speed Racer, directed by The Matrix's Andy and Larry Wachowski – is full of praise for Biel's famously fit physique.

"I asked my trainer, 'Can you give me Jessica Biel's butt?'" the actress – who starred with Biel's beau Timberlake in last year's Black Snake Moan – tells the U.K. edition of Elle. "I want a bigger butt."

Alas, because of her tiny frame, "they said I couldn't," she laments. "Everyone wants what they can't have!"

Kim Kardashian has been trying to eat better in 2008 – a resolution she made after downing deep fried Oreo cookies on New Year's Eve – but her adoration for junk food has been hard to curb.

"I figured just eating well would help me lose five pounds or so," Kardashian, 27, tells PEOPLE, admitting that three months into the New Year, her diet isn't getting any better. "It's so hard to eat well because I love so many unhealthy foods. I just can't stop eating junk. It's awful!"

Anna Kournikova: 'I Feel Great When I Sweat'

Anna Kournikova keeps in shape for her job as a tennis pro, but she says exercise helps her remain positive, as well.

"I feel great when I sweat and get all the negative energy out," she told PEOPLE Wednesday night at the opening of KSwiss's new store in Santa Monica, Calif.

For the athlete, focusing on doing "weights and machines to keep the muscle mass on" is important, but the other benefits of fitness are just as rewarding. "It's all about building muscle and feeling good about yourself," she says. "I do some cardio but very little, just to relieve the stress and sweat."

While her body fluctuates between size 2 and 4, she says she is extremely proud of her booty. "I keep working at it as I want it to be perfect," she says. "It makes my clothes look good – and guys like it!"

Why wasn't Kate Hudson worried about spending so much screen time in a bikini for Fool's Gold?

"I've danced my whole life," Hudson, 28, tells the U.K.'s Total Film magazine in its April issue. "I work out all the time and I'm not worried about being totally perfect."

Besides, she says of the movie, which costars Matthew McConaughey: "[My character is] a diver, so I'm not wearing this tiny string bikini; they're more the Speedo-type bikini – you know, the ones that cover pretty much everything."

Sounds like The View's Elisabeth Hasselbeck has a budding linguist on her hands.

Her son Taylor Thomas, born just three months ago, "loves words that begin with the letter B," Hasselbeck told PEOPLE Tuesday at J.C. Penney's launch of the American Living clothing line. "I can't come up with any more. I'm looking through the dictionary just to come up with new 'B' words. I'm like bubble, buffalo, bulldozer, bumble bee!"

The talk show host arrived at the N.Y.C. event with her husband, Arizona Cardinals quarterback Tim Hasselbeck – and showed no sign of the baby weight.

"I've been working out like a crazy women!" she admitted. "Lots of hard work. I'm trying."
