While opener Lady Gaga opted for a futuristically sexy clear plastic bra, headliners the Pussycat Dolls made plaid hot in concert at the National Indoor Arena in Birmingham, UK. All the usual PCD costume elements were in play: short skirts, leather, lace, lingerie, fishnets, glitter, knee-high boots and hair extensions. Do the Pussycat Dolls look sexy or not?

"Although I have good genes to thank for my physique, I am certain that if I didn't work so hard to maintain my figure, things would have started sagging by now. However much we might wish for quick-fix ways to get in shape, there's no getting round the reality that if you want to look good it's a question of putting down your fork and getting off your backside.
At school I towered over both boys and girls and was dreadfully skinny. I hated my 36in legs - now my major asset - and would wear three pairs of thick tights to lend them bulk.
My mother told me to be proud of my stature and walk tall, but it was only when I was approached by a modelling agency in my early 20s that I began to feel confident about the way I looked.
I hail from a sporty family and I'm very grateful for that because exercise - even more than diet - is the key to a youthful appearance.
My father has always been into weight training and my brother Oliver, now 30, works as a fitness instructor. In my teens I would accompany my mother to the gym and I swam for Essex. From the age of six I had tap, ballet and modern dance classes with a view to turning professional.
Unfortunately, by the age of 16, it was obvious my height was going to be a problem, so I stopped dancing and took up aerobics. I enjoyed it so much I considered it as a career. At 22, I took the YMCA Teachers Training Exercise to Music qualification. Looking to the future, I'd like to open a fitness centre with my brother.
Luckily, exercise for me has always been more pleasure than chore. It releases natural endorphins to lift your spirits and can help you lose weight or tone up. If I go without exercising for a couple of days I literally feel the blues descending. Even though Rod and I are constantly travelling, we always try to exercise.
I aim to stave old age off for as long as possible by keeping fit and Rod feels the same way. We don't need a gym - we are happy running or doing circuit training in the local park, and using a bench for step-ups.
I know many would consider me to have a perfect model figure, but at 6ft 1in and 10 stone, I'm considered too 'big' for the catwalk.
I've always been of the opinion, though, that you should work with what nature gave you. I'd rather be toned and athletic-looking and make a career from modelling lingerie, hosiery and sportswear than starve myself just to be able to do shows.
Of course, there are still some things I'd like to change about myself - for example, I have ugly feet. My toes are all bunched up from years of ballet, but I've learnt to accept them and now bare them in strappy heels.
For the most part, I feel comfortable with myself, which I think is in no small part due to being in a loving and supportive relationship. Rod finds me sexy and that makes me feel great. What other people think about me is really not important.
I would never change myself physically for a man, although I have been known to change from trousers to a skirt for Rod because he likes my legs. I haven't really thought about plastic surgery because I'm still only 32, but it is at odds with my attitude to healthy living.
You should never say never, but it should only ever be a last resort - that is, when you've exhausted every natural avenue of self-improvement. The problem is where you draw the line once you start having nips and tucks. Eating healthily is a good way to combat bad habits which might age you. If Rod and I have had a blow-out meal, we'll make sure we're good the next day. We try to have three light meals a day.
It might be fruit and cereal for breakfast, then a salad for lunch with nuts, seeds and flax oil as a dressing. I don't eat much red meat, so dinner will be chicken or fish with fresh vegetables.
One great tip to slim down quickly is, for four or five days before a big event, to cut out alcohol, salt and refined foods such as sugar and white flour, as well as carbohydrates. I never crash diet, but that will help reduce bloating. I drink at least three litres of water a day, and moisturise and exfoliate regularly.
Sometimes I get Rod to scrub my back with a loofah to help detox. My secret for smooth, shiny legs is mixing Nivea with almond oil and some Revlon tanning cream. It creates a fantastic glow. Whatever I may do cosmetically, however, I know that the secret to looking good starts on the inside - and that means getting your muscles and heart going through exercise.
My video works every muscle group and most of it is low-impact aerobics - the best way to lose weight and suitable for all fitness levels.
The best way to get results is to exercise three or four times a week for 30 to 40 minutes. But if you want to look slim for the new year, don't wait until the Christmas bingeing is done. Think damage limitation - then you can eat and drink yourself silly without worrying.
Many women are in search to get that flat and sexy stomach, getting rid of all the fat and revealing the sexy stomach underneath.
Stomach exercises for women are slightly different than mens becuase women want a flat and toned stomach while men are in search to build more muscle and getting rock hard six packs.
Also, the fat in woman’s bodies is distributed differently than men so it is important that women find a guide to stomach exercises designed for women.
The best example we have found and review is by fitness expert and model Jennifer Nicole Lee. She is by far on of the top motivations for women and she offers her unique stomach exercises for women in her fitness program: How to Look Like a Fitness Model, Without Being One.
Not only was Jennifer Nicole Lee invited to Operah and Inside Edition, she is also featured in many fitness magazines becuase she lost over 70 pounds! While still being a great mother to her 2 children.
I really recommend you purchase Jennifer Nicole Lee’s Fitness program, but do you really need to buy it? The honest is answer is no, you don’t need to but you will really get ahead and closer to your goal if you do.
Here is an example I use often, say for example your computer brakes down. You know nothing about computer repair, so would you tamper with the computer and risk harming your computer more or would you call an expert that know how to repair computers?
The smart choice is to call on someone who knows about repairing computer right? Same goes with stomach exercises for women. If you are not a fitness expert or nutritionist than why go about trying to get a flat tummy on your own?
Best of all Jennifer Nicole Lee isn’t just another fitness guru out to make money, she understand how women feel, how it is like to hide under baggy clothes and envy fitness models in magazines. After giving birth to 2 children she was weighing for 200 pounds!
Not only do you get an audio with motivation but you get her secret to how she lost over 70 pounds while having a busy schedule and caring for her children. She knows that women can have a busy schedule and her program works around your schedule even if you think you don’t have time for exercising.
Don’t waste money on expensive machines, don’t waste money on gym memberships, don’t wast money on “healthy foods”. Learn how to get the sexy body you’ve always wanted and start buying the clothes you want to wear!
At Lift for Life, we take pride in featuring exceptional athletes who have not only achieved success in their competitive fields, but athletes who embody a higher standard of self discipline, athletes who are actively involved in helping others, athletes who lead by example. This month, our featured bodybuilding model of the month is no exception.
Dr. Joe DeMarco is a well rounded athlete with a successful competitive career in Gymnastics, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Bodybuilding. Complementing this physical resume however is the fact that the peak of Joe DeMarco's bodybuilding accomplishments have occurred after the age of 40 when most people are beginning to slip into low drive, and the fact the Dr. Joe is a VEGAN, eating no animal products. A physique of this caliber on a strict vegan diet takes exceptional discipline but Dr. Joe would have it no other way.
"I also love the personal discipline that is needed for the sport"
Jennifer Connelly subsequently was featured in mostly forgettable teen fare, with the possible exception of Jim Henson's "Labyrinth" (1986), in which she was overshadowed by David Bowie and a cast of Henson creatures....
Plenty of Eye Candy here for the ladies! (I owe you one guys.. Its coming soon.. “Land the Slammin Beach Body-Ladies Edition”.. A little advice for the ladies & plenty of pics for my boys!) I’m an avid reader of Gentleman’s Quarterly Magazine, Men’s Health, Details, & even pop open Men’s Vogue when I’m Scanning the Shelves @ Books-A-Million.. I don’t think there’s a perfect look because I see many models with different looks, but they all have a few things in common.. These guys are swarmed by women (the hottest women), they get paid because of their looks (highly compensated), and probably feel a little cocky (which as you’ve probably noticed, a little “cocky confidence” is a GREAT ingredient in building attraction with the opposite sex!) Lets look at a few of these guys & see how they can freshen up our look..
Who is this guy?
Jason Shaw models for Tommy Hilfiger, Versace, & Polo (among others I’m sure).. This guy is one of the highest paid models in the fashion industry & as you may know, dated Paris Hilton & Made a PG13 Naughty Tape with her (I Say Naughty Because I don’t Think They Actually “Fought the Good Fight” in it.. Just Coverage of Some Cute “Slap & Tickle”) I highlight him because he always seem to stay in great shape, & his look is very polished.. Jason’s chest is only 38.5 inches wide with a 31.5 inch waist on his 6′2″ frame. In bodybuilder world, that’s a really small chest, but notice how he’s still athletically cut & looks great. (Bodybuilders would panick if they shrunk to this size.. But Jasons paychecks aren’t shrinking..) As you can see the “sexiest” guys in the world aren’t stressed about big swollen muscles.. (I like to call the look these models have as “Tight, Lean, & Toned”.. Definitely attainable). He’s probably maximum 175lbs in this picture.. Jason won’t be winning any bench press competitions though (Which is Fine with Him…. & Paris!)
A-Rod's women are crawling out of the woodwork, including a musclebound model who up until recently had been dating much-loathed ex-ballplayer John Rocker.
Fitness model Alicia Marie called Alex Rodriguez a "sweetheart" and insisted that while they have spent time alone at her apartment, they are just "close friends."
Former stripper Candice Houlihan, however, readily admitted to a "two-night stand" with the Rodriguez in 2004, the year the Boston Red Sox won their first World Series in 86 years.
"I feel like I reversed the curse," Houlihan joked of her romps with the slugger, who is going through a bitter divorce.
Houlihan's claims came a day after Rodriguez's angry wife, Cynthia, served him with divorce papers accusing him of "extramarital affairs."
Rodriguez, a reputed serial seducer who has been linked to Madonna, has not filed a response - although friends told the Daily News on Monday that Cynthia went on a $100,000 spiteful spending spree in Paris last week.
Responding to an e-mail from The News, Marie said Rodriguez frequently visited her Chelsea apartment a few years ago to lend a sympathetic ear "when I had just gone through a separation and divorce."
"I am well aware that people will assume the absolute worst here, but Alex was, and to this day remains, just a close friend," wrote the 5-foot-10 brunette. "Friends hang out together in each other's apartments!"
Marie, who now lives in Atlanta, where Rocker used to pitch for the Braves and still lives, confirmed last night that while she "still loves the man New Yorkers love to hate," they recently broke up.
Rocker drew the city's wrath when he called Mets fans "degenerates" and said New York has too many "foreigners" in a 1999 Sports Illustrated interview.
"I am certainly not one of Alex's attention-seeking strippers," insisted Marie, who graduated from the University of Connecticut with a degree in neuroscience.
She said their admiration for each other is physical. "He admires people who work their bodies into perfection," said Marie, voted "Ms. Bikini Universe" in 2004.
While Marie denied any hanky-panky with Rodriguez, Houlihan eagerly admitted circling the bases twice with the third baseman - and said she was rooting for Cynthia in the divorce battle.
"A leopard doesn't change his spots," Houlihan, now a hairdresser in Boston Herald. "Good for her. I think she's doing the smart thing."
Houlihan said she met A-Rod at Fenway Park in July 2004 after she and some friends razzed him.
