See you later, Kerri Walsh -- it looks like beach volleyball superstar Misty May-Treanor will be trying out a new partner ... at least for this season's Dancing With the Stars. She's not only content to be the winningest beach volleyball female of all time, or to have two beach volleyball gold medals -- she wants to be the best dancer, too!

I'm a little biased, since I'm a huge fan of Misty to begin with, but I have to say this is the most excited I've been for DWTS. While I enjoy seeing celebrities out there dancing, I like watching the athletes on the show even more. Seeing people with quick feet on the court or field translate that talent to dancing footwork is fascinating, and is a big reminder that athleticism comes in many forms.

Misty will be joined by fellow gold medal winner Maurice Greene, a sprinter, and retired football player Warren Sapp, along with Brooke Burke, Kim Kardashian, Susan Lucci, and others. Will you be tuning in?

It's unfortunate, but true -- not everyone enjoys working out. It might be because it's hard, or it hurts, or even because it seems boring, but you know what? With a little work, everyone can find a workout that works for them.

Mischa Barton (of the now-defunct O.C., and has she done anything else lately?) was never big on fitness. In fact, she finds working out "dorky." But, she's finally found a way to make fitness fun -- using the Pilates reformer, which is a machine that develops core strength and flexibility.

While the Pilates reformer might not sound like more fun than a barrel of monkeys to you, I'm sure there's something else out there you'll enjoy. The key is to be open to giving it a try. Check out classes at your gym or local YMCA, or rent some workout videos -- you never know what's going to hit the spot!

As she approaches turning 30, Jennifer Love Hewitt says there's one thing she would do if she could turn back the clock. She'd be naked more.

"I wish I had been nude from the time I was 12 until I was 28. I looked great!" says the Ghost Whisperer actress.

The 29-year-old had a rough year, defending her figure after being photographed in a bikini looking plumper than usual. She realizes now she should have appreciated what she had all those years ago, when she was 18 and complaining about feeling fat. If only she had realized how good she really looked, if only she'd known how her body would change and evolve and invite such public criticism.
