Susan Lucci, the first lady of soap operas for almost 40 years now (wow!) looks pretty good for 62, don't you think? She recently shared the secret to her hot bod on the Rachael Ray Show, and no, it's not regular visits to the plastic surgeon (well, it could be but that's not what we're talking about right now). Lucci admits that Pilates is what keeps her in tip top shape. And considering she's been doing it for 14 years, I'm guessing she's pretty good at it by now.

Here's what Lucci had to say about her workout: "The greatest thing is that it introduces cardio to a traditional pilates workout, so you are lengthening, toning, sculpting really long, sexy lean muscles, and you're also getting that cardio workout. So you're multi-tasking -- it's the best use of your time ... and you're getting more stamina so you can you can go on Dancing with the Stars!

These days, Lucci is into Malibu Pilates -- as you might have gathered from the infomercial. And be sure to check out her video on Rachael Ray if you're interested in seeing just how she uses this 'Pilates chair.'

Cameron Mathison just might be handing out hugs in a couple of weeks, and you might be able to score one ... if you're in the right place. The gorgeous All My Children and former Dancing with the Stars star took some time this week to chat with me for a future Celebrity Fitzness Report feature.

Cameron is not only totally buff, he's totally sweet too. Loves to talk fitness and boy, does he ever do it right! On to the hugging part, though. On November 15th, Cameron will be in Orlando, Florida to headline ABC SoapNet Super Soap Star weekend at Disney's Hollywood Studios theme park. This event truly allows fans to get up close and personal with their favorite soap stars ... and Cameron will be one of them.

Since I'm always looking out for you (who loves you baby?), I asked Cameron (on your behalf of course) if we could expect him to be handing out hugs and kisses to his fans. After reassuring me that he always acts "appropriately" in order to respect his wife ... sure! He definitely gives his finest fans deserving hugs when possible.

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?
