Last month, Maggie gave us the scoop on Ashton Kutcher's new role ... as the assistant coach for a freshman football team. And now, Ashton himself is speaking up about the experience.

Basically, he loves it. On his MySpace Celebrity blog, he talks about how his team has a winning record (4-2), saying his team is "a great group of individuals that understand that the collective force is greater than any individual can ever be."

He also talks a little about why he started coaching. While he always wanted to do it, he admits that he didn't do it earlier for several reasons: "I was afraid of the time commitment. I was afraid that I would look stupid. I was afraid that the players wouldn't listen to my football advice. I was afraid that the advice that I gave wouldn't be very good."

Many of us are often inspired by how fit professional athletes are -- I know that I rarely watch a beach volleyball game without wanting to hit the gym hard. Hard-bodied R&B singer Ciara also admires athletes, but for more than their bodies.

She told Men's Health, "I take my motivation from athletes -- basketball players in particular." She cites LeBron James as a favorite "because he's my age and full of ambition and drive," and also mentions Michael Jordan's ability to pull through in clutch moments, saying, "That energy motivates me."

As a former track star, Ciara appreciates the effort it takes to achieve success on the field, and compares what she does to what elite athletes do: "[W]hen it comes to my career, there's nothing more exciting than being successful at the highest possible level."

Actress and celebrity party girl Tara Reid has had her fair share of botched body events -- bad boob job that accidentally revealed itself on the red carpet, sketchy liopsuction, and scary skinny weight loss. But the girl's been out and about in her bikini recently and well, she doesn't look half bad. She doesn't look all-the-way good, I caution, but it's certainly not the worst we've seen of her, and so I'm wondering what the 33-year-old has done to shape up. Here are my guesses:

• She's put on a few pounds and filled up that skin that was draping from her belly. If this is the case, let's hope she's eating a healthy diet.
• She's exercising and enjoying a little tone here and there.
• She's called it quits with the surgery and is looking healed and fresh.
• She's become a pro at covering her questionable parts.
  
• She's been the lucky recipient of a fairly good camera angle and perhaps a little touch-up work too.

I don't know, maybe all five factors are at play. Check out PopSugar's gallery of bikini shots and tell us what you think. Then check out our gallery, featuring Tara Reid through the years.
