THE LIFE & STYLE BEST BODY AWARDS
The list of nearly 30 awards range from the sexiest six-pack to the buffest arms and best post-baby body. Here are just a few:
BEST TRANSFORMATION: MARIAH CAREY
The notorious yo-yo dieter slimmed down yet again while working on her recent album, E=MC2. In fact, Mariah, 39, flew her trainer, Patricia Gay, from St. Bart’s to NYC to help the 5-foot-9 pop star drop from a size 8 to a size 2 in roughly eight months. “I feel better than I’ve ever felt,” she says.
SEXIEST SIX-PACK: DAVID BECKHAM
His mom doesn’t exactly approve of his steamy Emporio Armani ads, but his fans sure do. “I’ve been doing some work with the soccer squad as well as plenty of gym work to build up my fitness,” said a ridiculously chiseled David, 33, explaining his preparation for the soccer season.
SHAPELIEST SISTERS: KOURTNEY & KIM KARDASHIAN
These reality-TV stars have no qualms about showing some skin — or teasing each other about their famously curvy assets. Kourtney, 29, may mock Kim, 27, about having some “junk in her trunk,” but Kim (who works with a trainer, does martial arts moves while on a treadmill and refuses to starve herself) insists she likes her shape. “I embrace my big butt,” she says.
HOTTEST OFFSPRING: BRODY JENNER
Set to star in the MTV reality series Bromance, Brody, 24, appears to have inherited some of dad Bruce Jenner’s Olympic-worthy genes. Says NYC fitness guru Lacey Stone, “He looks like he leads an active lifestyle chasing the ladies!”
BUFFEST ARMS: JENNIFER ANISTON
Beach babe Jennifer Aniston, 39, got plenty of attention for her toned physique — and burgeoning romance with John Mayer — while filming Marley & Me in Miami. Her vacation routine? The longtime yoga devotee (who credits the exercise discipline for making her legs leaner and her arms stronger) worked her limbs on her Miami hotel’s elliptical machine.
FOXIEST REALITY-SHOW STARS: AUDRINA PATRIDGE & LAUREN CONRAD
Something these on-again friends don’t have to fight about? Who’s in better shape. Lauren, 22, relies on twice-weekly cardio-and-strength-training sessions with fitness pro Jarrett Del Bene. Audrina, 23, who also works with Del Bene, admits to Life & Style that she sometimes ditches her routine. “I’ve been eating healthy but haven’t been working out,” she says. “I need to get back to the gym.” Slacking never looked so good!
SEXIEST CURVES: SARA RAMIREZ
Ever since she danced in her undies on Grey’s Anatomy, a curvy Sara has been the poster girl for body confidence. “Beauty comes in all shapes and sizes,” says the 32-year-old actress, who once resorted to slimming down in unhealthy ways. But now she isn’t the only one who’s happy with her silhouette. As she reveals, “My boyfriend loves to have something to hold on to.
BEST DECORATED BODY: JOHN MAYER
It’s not just the new tat sleeve that’s made this inked crooner hard-core — it’s his intense body-sculpting workouts. For the past five months, John, 30, has been practicing Krav Maga, an Israeli form of martial arts.
BEST POST-BABY BODY: JENNIFER LOPEZ
Nearly 50 pounds of baby weight was a thing of the past when a fit J.Lo caught some rays in Spain on June 24. But reclaiming her shape wasn’t the star’s first priority after giving birth to twins Max and Emme on Feb. 22. Her trainer, Gunnar Peterson, describes their initial post-baby workouts as “whatever she could take, schedule permitting.”
CUTEST DUO, ON-SCREEN AND OFF: BLAKE LIVELY & PENN BADGLEY
They broke up on Gossip Girl, but in real life, Blake, 20, and Penn, 21, are one of the sexiest pairs in Hollywood — especially when they hit the beach. In fact, it’s hard to believe a super-svelte Blake is addicted to Beverly Hills–based Sprinkles Cupcakes. “I’m petitioning to open one in New York,” she’s said.
