Faith Hill In A Bikini At 41

"Wearing a bikini on a magazine cover is my 41st birthday present to myself," country superstar and mother-of-three Faith Hill tells December's Shape, out Nov. 10, about returning to her three-times-a-week Pilates routine recently. When she first took up the exercise regimen, she explains, "I could bend in ways I haven't been able to since I was a teenager." She then adds, "My husband (Tim McGraw) loves it!

"I was always very athletic, playing basketball and softball and running track. But in my 20s and 30s, I'd go through phases with exercise, working out for four weeks before a big tour or video shoot and not doing much afterward. Then I had three kids and turned 40, so I decided to make a lifestyle change."

I'm sure he does. Grrrr.... look at those legs. You can even see a peak of cheek through there. ;)

She doesn't look sexy, she's just really skinny.

Sometimes, you need a bit of levity.

And this.....is a very nice break from the political grind. Gotta have Faith.

wow.....2 wars, an economy in turmoil, global poverty, unemployment rates through the roof, record home forclusures, etc......glad to see important stuff like this in the media!

[natureman]

Yeah like Palin's lipliner?

[skippypicasso]

I...so...don't...care.

[indyleftist]

Its sad that they feel the need to alter the photographs

My guess is she would have looked great without them doing it

[drec1500Madrid]

That is a doctored image. But what is the big deal about being 41 in a bikini, my wife is 40 and very fit indeed.

Airbrushed!

[DamnedAngryDem]

BINGO! That's 70% Photoshop, 21% plastic surgery and 9% Faith Hill.

[JohnShank]

Ikes! Where's Vanessa Hudgens when ya need her?

[DevRock]

Helllllll-ooooooooo!!!!!! Love Faith Hill. And LOVE her in a bikini. Although, this is the same b1tchy diva who threw a fit when she lost to Kelly Clarkson a few years ago at the Grammy's, so lost a lot of respect for her. But she's still hhoott to look at!

[natureman]

Oh did she throw a fit? I gotta see that.

[DevRock]

Sorry, it was the CMAs and Carrie Underwood. Same thing, really: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RYaD7pCXFog

PHOTO SHOP I remember the Jezebel pictures.

[Banji81]

I was just thinking the same thing . That dramatic Redbook photoshop job (when you did the comparing and contrasting) traumatized the heck outta me... sad. But perhaps this one's the real thing.

Then again...

[i can see russia]

Seriously?!? A 41 year old woman in a bikini is "newsworthy"? For a moment, I thought I was visiting the website of People, not the Huffington Post.

[natureman]

I bet you wouldn't say that if it was a negative ad about Palin's looks.

[ICanHasDemocracy]

I'd hit it. Nanny or not...

[ladyv]

Whatever. She and her husband are very vocal Democrats, and that isn't an easy thing to be in country music. Tim McGraw will be in Congress or Governor of Tennessee w/in 10 years.

About the bra line is a bit bony.
