Wimbledon is in full swing, and there have already been numerous victories at this point (Maria Sharipova lost in a close match). Some dreams have been extinguished, while others have been fulfilled for some of the talented tennis stars from across the globe.  I’ll admit, I’m definitely not someone who would sit and watch tennis.

To me, it’s not the most exciting sport to spectate.  However, having played the sport when I was younger, I can certainly attest to the fact that tennis is one of the best sports to play for pure, cardiovascular, toning and ripping exercise.

I know, I know. Some people may be rolling their eyes over this, and believe me, I may have been one of them before I started dating a guy (now my husband) who knew a lot about pro wrestline and how hard the business really is.  When I was raised, my parents pretty much scoffed at pro wrestling, when Hulk Hogan was all the rage, and Macho Man Randy Savage was too (may he rest in peace).

I must admit, I was embarrassed that my hubby watched WWE. I did not grow up with watching it like so many other kids did. I grew up to think that kind of television was sensationalistic garbage. So maybe my parents were a bit elitist, but I enjoyed a lot of the stuff they did let me watch – and a lot of that stuff was crap too, if I’m being totallly honest.

WWE is nothing more than entertainment, pure and simple. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t enjoy catching the occasional match with my husband on tv, and enjoying the comedy that happens in the ring, and looking at some of the amazing physiques some of these guys have!

Jennifer Aniston has long been the envy of women across the world for it’s incredibly toned appearance. She also tends to look very long and lean even though she’s a fairly petite woman, clocking in by some accounts at just 5’5″, which is shorter than what she looks like on film or in pictures.

Even past 40, she has maintained the lean physique of a twenty year old, and many women are clamoring to keep their bodies that fit and toned looking after they pass that magical age of 40, which seems to be a marker of fabulousness if you look even better than you did ten to fifteen years ago when you hit this age as a woman.

Well, we all know that adorable, petite little Natalie Portman, as well as her naturally petite costar in the film that won so much critical acclaim and also earned Portman the Oscar, “The Black Swan”, are naturally pretty skinny girls.  However, seeing them in the Black Swan gave a new name to the word “fit” and thin!

They both appeared almost alarmingly thin, but it was all part of who their characters were, which was serious ballet dancers. Ballet dancers are notoriously worried about their weight because they have to be pretty thin to pull of the graceful moves that are required of the ballet dance form, and also because they have to be on their tip toes much of the time.

I thought I’d write a fun, silly one today. I don’t know why, but for some reason the old Olivia Newton John song “Let’s Get Physical” popped into my head. If you are over the age of 30, you probably remember when Olivia was really popular.

You also probably remember the ridiculous music video of her in a terry cloth head band and a spandex workout outfit ala Jane Fonda from the eighties.

She was sweating with a bunch of big men, and looking as cute and perky as ever.

There was a controversy brewing when LeAnn Rimes, the formerly seeming innocent country singer who blasted onto the scene when she remade a country classic song “How Do I Live” and the album and the song went crazy on the charts. After that, her fame sort of cooled off a bit, but she made tabloid headlines again just a few years back when she began dating a costar of hers when the two of them were both married.

I was just listlessly surfing the net, putting off my boring duties that I have to do every week like laundry, writing, doing bills, going to the grocery store, yada yada, and I came across a video of Jennifer Aniston’s most recent run in with the paparazzi. She was in one of her favorite places, Mexico, Cabo San lucas to be specific, at a private resort, when the annoying and ever intrusive paparazzo started to intrude, off the beach if you can believe it, in a boat.
