Summer is upon us which means that we should all be showing off our beach bodies, sadly mine isn’t good enough to qualify for People Magazine’s hottest bodies of 2010 but maybe next year I will make the cut. Here is some celebrities who made the list:
Kendra Wilkinson
With the birth of Hank Baskett IV came “curves [that] shocked me big-time,” the E! reality star, 25, admitted to PEOPLE. So two months ago, Wilkinson (in Malia Mills) kicked into gear. “I want to wear skimpy clothes again and show off my hot little body.”
Zac Efron
Alo-ha! The High School Musical star, 22, graduates to sex symbol – and tops PEOPLE’s list – after showing off his ripped form in the Hawaiian surf recently. “My fail-safe is to go to the gym for an hour,” the actor, who appears (shirtless!) in the summer drama Charlie St. Cloud, has said.
Kim Kardashian
It’s hard to believe the reality star once felt insecure about her figure. “Everyone talks about this great butt I had, but I was so unhappy about it,” says Kardashian, 29, who told PEOPLE in ’09 that by 11 she had developed “huge boobs and a butt.” Now she works out regularly and curbs her junk-food cravings, saying, “I love my curves … I’m proud of my body.”
Kellan Lutz
Fans are used to seeing … ahem, a little more of the Eclipse star, 25, in his CK underwear ads – not that he minds. “I won’t lie about it,” says the actor, who trained and stopped eating candy to shape up for the shoot. “I started getting text messages … people were always commenting on the billboard and asking for pictures for their daughters.”
Ryan Phillippe
Hello, washboard abs! The MacGruber star showed off his seriously buff physique on the cover of Men’s Health in May, proving that at 35 he’s got just as much flex appeal as Hollywood’s twentysomethings. His motivation? “I want to throw my kids up in the air and wrestle them.”
Carrie Underwood
There is nothing down-home about this Grammy winner’s killer bikini body, and thanks to a regimen of healthy eating and regular workouts (cardio, kickboxing and the elliptical), the longtime vegetarian lost – and has kept off – 20 lbs. following her season 4 win on American Idol in 2005.
Mike Sorrentino
You want body language? Talk to The Situation, whose stomach-baring move has “blessed” him with “international popularity.” “I have always had an unbelievable six-pack,” says the Jersey Shore star, 27, who calls keeping fit “the key to my success.”
Cameron Diaz
To star opposite Tom Cruise in a summer action movie, you’d better be in the shape of your life. Thankfully, at 37, his Knight and Day costar is “a genetic goddess,” her trainer Teddy Bass says. Diaz does a mix of Pilates, plank exercises and leg pulls to keep her 5-ft., 9-in. frame lean and mean.
Jennifer Love Hewitt
“I ordered a string bikini for the first time since I was 16,” says the actress (in Betsey Johnson), 31, who faced seeing unflattering bikini photos of herself plastered across the web in 2007. Looking back, she tells PEOPLE, those photos “did something good for me in the long run. Now I’m a much healthier eater and I love exercising.”
Common
What does the Grammy-nominated rapper have in common with his rumored ex, tennis champ Serena Williams? A killer body. The Chicago native, 38, made Men’s Fitness magazine’s Top 25 fittest men in the world (alongside athletes like soccer stud Cristiano Ronaldo). “I feel like I’m planting seeds when I’m [working out],” he says, “making things fruitful and giving back to myself.”
Katy Perry
With her tongue-in-cheek music and pin-up good looks, Perry isn’t your typical California Gurl. No wonder Maxim named her No. 1 on their 2010 Hot 100 list. How did the 25-year-old top the likes of Megan Fox? She’s “the rad chick who taught you how to skateboard and whistle and also looks unbelievable in a bikini,” the magazine explained.
Megan Fox
The Transformers star once famously told Esquire, “I’m just really confident sexually, and I think that sort of oozes out of my pores.” While the 24-year-old has topped plenty of hot lists, she says deep down she’s really a stay-at-home nerd. “We watch a lot of Discovery Channel and TLC,” she told Allure of life with boyfriend Brian Austin Green.
Jake Gyllenhaal
Summer’s hottest action figure? Look no further than the Prince of Persia star, whose ripped torso and bulging biceps created buzz months before the movie hit theaters. Joking, “It was so much fun to get paid to get tanned and get in shape,” Gyllenhaal, 29, got into the best shape of his life doing the French martial art of Parkour.
Audrina Patridge
Even this Hills babe, who’s often snapped in her two-piece (here, in Melissa Odabash), wishes for, yes, a better bikini body. “I’ve always had a good stomach,” says the reality star, 25, “but I wish I had longer legs.” To make the most of her assets, she hikes or boxes twice a week, and for an added boost, drinks daily wheatgrass shots “even though they don’t taste good.”
The guys bodies make me incredibly jealous while the women make me feel all happy inside. I guess I should get off to the gym.
Yesterday it was announced that Kate Winslet and her husband of seven years, Sam Mendes, were divorcing. As we all know that if you win an Oscar there is a curse, it seems for women on top of their career dying they tend to end up divorcing. Here are some of the famous ones:
Benjamin Bratt was the lucky man on Julia Roberts’ arm when she won the Oscar for her role in “Erin Brockovich†in 2001. Three months later their relationship was over—he went on to marry Talisa Soto, while she’s had three kids with husband Danny Moder. She’s yet to be nominated for a second time, so hopefully this relationship is safe.
The second actress to fall victim to this trend? Halle Berry, who won Best Actress in 2002 for “Monster’s Ball.†She’d been dating hot musician Eric Benet for years, and the two got hitched in 2001. Shortly after winning her Best Actress Oscar, Benet started cheating on her and allegedly went to sex addiction rehab. But it wasn’t enough—the couple separated in 2003 and divorced in 2005.
Infamously, Hilary Swank forgot to thank her hubby Chad Lowe, brother of Rob, when she won Best Actress in 2000 for her role as Brandon Teena in “Boys Don’t Cry.†Still, Chad seemed ultra supportive of her, and they were the ultimate down-to-earth Hollywood couple. They had just crossed the 13-years-together mark when Hilary won again in 2005, for “Million Dollar Baby,†and she made sure to thank him, first thing. The two divorced a year later. Rumors circulated that he couldn’t handle the level of success she’d found.
Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Philippe met at her 21st birthday party—she supposedly walked up to him and said, “I think you’re my birthday presentâ€â€”and got married less than a year later. Reese had already popped out two kidlets seven years later, when she won Best Actress for her role in “Walk the Line,†and the pair seemed forevers. Nope. They split eight months after she gave her acceptance speech. Many assume Ryan was cheating on her with Abbie Cornish.
Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise had already shocked the world by getting divorced when she won the Best Actress Oscar for portraying Virginia Woolf in “The Hours.†But she was clearly still having a hard time with the split at the time of her win. “He was huge; still is. To me, he was just Tom, but to everybody else, he is huge,†she told Ladies Home Journal. “But he was lovely to me. And I loved him. I still love him.†After rumored flings with Jude Law and Robbie Williams, Nicole allegedly gave Best Actor winner Adrien Brody her number backstage at the Oscars, and the two dated for a little while. She, of course, ended up getting remarried to Keith Urban.
Charlize Theron‘s relationship with actor Stuart Townsend seemed solid when she awed the Academy with her portrayal of serial killer Aileen Wuornos and won the Oscar. The two never officially tied the knot because they were waiting for same-sex couples to have the right to do the same. But Townsend said, “I don’t need a certificate or the state or the church to say otherwise. So no there’s no big official story on a wedding, but we are married … I consider her my wife and she considers me her husband.†Until the two sadly split up in January.
I guess that means Sandra Bullock should be worrying about her marriage to Jesse James could end up with the same faith since she won the Oscar this year.

Paula Abdul’s Idol blunder, Nikki Blonsky’s airport brawl, Miss USA’s tumble – it’s all the “oops!” and blunders we just can’t forget.
Ryan Phillippe gets an unusual request from Jay Leno
LET’S FACE IT
While promoting his Iraq war film Stop-Loss, Ryan Phillippe got an unusual request from Tonight Show host Jay Leno: “Can you give me your ‘gayest look?’” “Wow,” Phillippe replied. “That is so something I don’t want to do.” Leno later apologized, admitting, “It was a dumb thing to say.”
Paula Abdul finds Jason Castro forgetable
SOUR NOTE
American Idol’s top 5 contestant Jason Castro had performed the first of two songs during a Neil Diamond-themed episode in April when Paula Abdul told him, “The second song, I felt like your usual charm was missing for me. It kind of left me a little empty and the two songs made me feel like you’re not fighting hard enough to get into the top four.” Oops! Later, she called the gaffe “an honest mistake.”
Lindsay Lohan battles the booze on New Years Eve
JUST A SIP
So much for that New Year’s resolution! Just two months out of rehab, Lindsay Lohan was caught sipping from a bottle of champagne while ringing in 2008 in Capri, Italy. “The good news,” her lawyer stated at the time, “is that Lindsay stopped herself, called her sponsor, and got herself back on track.”
Nikki Blonsky's airport brawl
VACATION NIGHTMARE
A vacation in paradise turned ugly when the family of Nikki Blonsky was involved in a brawl with the family of Top Model contestant Bianca Golden at a Turks and Caicos airport. “Things got out of hand in an argument over seats in the departure lounge,” a police source stated in August. Charges were filed and Golden’s mother ended up in the hospital while Blonsky’s father ended up in jail.
Miley and Billy Ray Cyrus forget the seatbelts
BUCKLE UP
“We got caught up in the moment of filming, and we made a mistake and forgot to buckle our seatbelts,” Billy Ray Cyrus said in a statement, following the February release of the hit 3-D movie Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert Tour, in which he and daughter Miley Cyrus were seen riding in a Range Rover without their seatbelts fastened.
John Edwards, politician gone wrong
COMING CLEAN
After denying he had an extramarital relationship, former Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards confirmed in August that he had an affair with a 44-year-old woman who had worked for his campaign. “I made a very serious mistake, a mistake that I am responsible for and no one else,” the senator said in a statement. “I told [my wife] Elizabeth about the mistake, asked her for her forgiveness, [and] asked God for his forgiveness.”
Sharon Stone gets a healthy dose of bad karma
BAD KARMA?
Asked on the red carpet in Cannes about the earthquake in China that killed 80,000 people, Sharon Stone said she was “not happy with the way the Chinese are treating the Tibetans” and wondered, “Is that Karma, when you’re not nice that the bad things happen to you?” The actress later admitted, “I misspoke. I could not be more regretful of that mistake.” Still, she wasn’t invited to the country’s Shanghai International Film Festival, which she had attended in 2007.
CAUGHT ON TAPE
“Rehab” singer Amy Winehouse was seen smoking what The Sun claimed was a crack pipe in footage posted on the U.K. paper’s Web site in January. Police questioned the singer, but Winehouse was not arrested and no charges were filed. She was, however, initially denied a U.S. visa. It was later issued – just not in time for her to pick up her trophies in person at the Grammy Awards.
Bai Ling has worst Valentine's Day ever
WORST VALENTINE’S EVER
On Feb. 13, Bai Ling was arrested at Los Angeles International airport for allegedly shoplifting $16 worth of celebrity magazines and batteries from a terminal convenience store. Her excuse? Valentine’s Day blues. It was an “emotionally crazy” day, she said later, blaming a “huge problem of breaking up [before] Valentine’s Day.”
THE C-WORD
It was a mistake that went viral in seconds: While discussing The Vagina Monologues with playwright Eve Ensler and Meredith Vieira on the Today show, Jane Fonda said the “c-word” on live television. “It was a slip and obviously she apologizes, and so do we,” host Vieira said after a newsbreak. “We would do nothing to offend the audience. So please accept that apology.”
Miss Teen Louisiana Lindsey Evans is busted for skipping a restaurant tab and pot possession
DINE-AND-DASH Miss Teen Louisiana Lindsey Evans didn’t only tarnish her crown, but she also lost it after getting arrested for skipping out on a $46 bill at Posados Cafe in Bossier City, La., in October. Police were summoned to the restaurant and found a purse, which contained the 18-year-old’s driver’s license and what officials suspected was marijuana.
Naomi Campbell beats down the police at the airport
AIR RAGE
She strikes again: After a disturbance aboard a British Airways plane, police officers were called to escort supermodel Naomi Campbell off the aircraft. “She threw a few things around the cabin and then spat at the cops.” Campbell pleaded guilty to four charges and was sentenced to work 200 hours of community service and to pay a $4,500 fine in June.
Tatum O'Neal gets busted for cocaine
CLOSE CALL
“I made a giant, horrible mistake that I regret and feel really ashamed and embarrassed about,” Tatum O’Neal stated after police arrested the Oscar winner for allegedly purchasing two bags of cocaine from a dealer near her Manhattan home. “I got close to relapsing,” she later told Oprah Winffrey. “It was close enough. Too close for comfort.”
**Honorable mention goes to Miley Cyrus and her digital camera.
This is one of those sex tapes you want to see. Even though I find Ryan Phillippe to be uptight and a bit of prude, he manages to prove me wrong. While on Jimmy Kimmel show he too fell victim to the video clip parody schtick that is becoming Kimmel’s moniker.
The sex tape shows Ryan and Jimmy’s older security guard engaging in foreplay. (She looks a bit like Rosario from Will and Grace.) With his new tattoos exposed it makes me wonder if this desperation bleeds into real life or if the mythical baby with Abbie Cornish is keeping him company.

Critics are saying Jay Leno crossed the line when he interviewed Stop-Loss star Ryan Phillippe Thursday night.
[For those of you that don't want to watch the whole thing -- it all starts at approximately 2:00 minutes in]
Leno was chatting with Phillippe about his first role as a gay teen on the soap One Life to Live when he asked,
“Can you give me, like – say that camera is your gay lover… Can you give me your ‘gayest look?’
Say that camera is Billy Bob – Billy Bob has just ridden in shirtless from Wyoming,”
Needless to say, Phillippe grew quite uncomfortable.
“Wow! That is so something I don’t want to do.”
Phillippe’s acting career began with an appearance in ABC daytime drama One Life to Live. His character Billy Douglas, whom he played from 1992 to 1993, was the first gay teenager in a daily soap opera, causing a stir.
GLAAD issued this statement today,
“We are proud of Ryan for refusing to participate in Leno’s thoughtless attempt at humor.
Under the guise of comedy, the talk-show host is demonstrating a lack of respect for the gay community and insensitivity to both his co-workers and the audience, to whom he owes an apology.”
What others said:
Dlisted says, “If Jay cared so much about seeing Ryan’s “gay face” he should have just rented “54.” There’s Phillipe gay face galore!”
A Socialites Life says, “I’m guessing Leno wanted Ryan to make his “gayest look” towards him. And follow it up with some Astroglide. Jay strikes me as one of those guys who’s watching the next-door neighbor’s son mow the lawn shirtless next door and playing with himself from behind the blinds.”
TMZ says, “Unfortunately, Leno has yet to apologize for 16 years of unfunny opening monologues.”
Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe are the proud parents of Ava, 8, and Deacon, 4, and like all kids these two have ideas of what they want to be when they grow up. Deacon wants to be a pizza delivery guy.
Reese says,
“Not that there is anything wrong with that, but it’s hard to see how it could be a career as such.”
To alleviate Reese’s fears, the people at Pizza Hut have offered Deacon a job. The company’s “Chief People Officer”, Sandi Karrmann, wrote an open letter made public by Extra .
“Dear Deacon,
“We recently heard that you want to be a pizza delivery driver when you grow up. How wonderful! You’ve got several years to go before you can join our team, but in the meantime we’re sending you a few things, so that you can practice.”
The pizza chain’s gifts included a Pizza Hut uniform, a mini-delivery car, and Pizza Hut gift cards.
The letter continued,
“We have delivery drivers who have worked for us for 10, 15, even 20 years! And the same Pizza Hut drivers who deliver hot, fresh pizzas right to your door have gone on to become successful businessmen, doctors, lawyers and, yes, actors.
Deacon, keep on dreaming big and know that we’re saving a spot for you on our team. Have fun practicing your Pizza Hut delivery driver skills!”
Wow. What a company won’t do for free publicity.
