  • Jillian Michaels Covers ‘Shape’ Mag, Poses Nude

    Jillian Michaels covers the July/August 2014 issue of Shape magazine and appears nude within its pages. The Biggest Loser coach, who is 40, says she feels better about herself at this age than she did in her 20s and 30s.

    “When I think back on my 20s and 30s, I look better now than I ever have. Yes, I’m older but I’m also wiser and that’s a more intrinsic type of beauty,” she told the magazine.

    Even though Michaels goes to the gym regularly to stay in shape she says staying strong is even more important.

    “It’s important for women to have overall strength, because when you feel physically powerful, it transcends into every facet of your life,” she said.

    Jillian Michaels claims there are still parts of her body that haven’t reached perfection–even though she looks pretty darn perfect to the naked (no pun intended) eye. She even tweets about her photos in Shape, saying she has made progress with the ‘ass man.’

    “Do I want to have a better butt? Sure, but I’m healthy and can wear my skinny jeans,” Michaels said, “And that’s good enough!”

    The trainer needs ample energy in order to chase after daughter Lukensia, who is 4, and son Phoenix, who is 2. She and partner Heidi Rhoades no doubt have their hands full with two little ones at home. Staying in good shape provides the energy needed to be very active parents.

    Don’t fret if you haven’t yet found the issue of Shape in which Jillian Michaels poses nude. It hasn’t hit news stands yet–but it will soon. Look for the July/August issue to go on sale on June 25th. Will you be checking it out to see exactly how good The Biggest Loser coach looks sans her clothes?

    How do you suppose Jillian’s fellow Biggest Loser coaches will react to the full view of her body?

  • Horses Viagra: Trainer’s Phallic Pharmaceutical Fail

    That’s right.

    The blue pill isn’t just for wanderers of The Matrix or elderly gentlemen whose furnace fires have fizzled to forlornly glowing embers over the years. At least, such was the logic of New Mexican racehorce trainer John Stinebaugh when he reportedly gave Viagra to his horses.

    Sildenafil citrate was found in the blood of Stinebaugh’s horses (whose names are too entertaining not to mention): My Dancing Angel, Bikini Bombshell, Dynasty Edition, and PJ Chick in Black. This active ingredient in Viagra increases cardiac output, and thus an animal’s racing performance. For this reason, giving it to a racehorse is illegal because it pretty much acts like steroids for stallions.

    But did he actually do it – or was it a third-party mistake?

    Stinebaugh told American Quarter Horse News that the only reason his horses tested positive for Viagra’s active ingredient was because it inadvertently ended up in an anti-bleeding compound the veterinarians issued them. He claimed that the Texas compounding pharmacy that created the medicinal paste mistakenly added in the banned drug.

    With four of his horses testing positive in a race for $1 million, that explanation might raise eyebrows. Even so, it might be a bit more believable if he didn’t already have a previous infraction involving a different chemical.

    “That drug has no business being in a horse. It has no medicinal or therapeutic value in a horse,” Racing Commission Executive Vince Mares (apt last name for a horse story) said.

    Regardless of whether the trainer is telling the truth, the responsibility upon finding drugs in your racehorse is on par with finding drugs in your car: it still falls on you.

    If he really did drug them up, Stinebaugh may have felt like a horse’s ass himself when only one out of four of them won.

    Also, the legal ramifications sound like they’re going to be hard on the accomplished racehorse trainer. He has been suspended for 16 years, fined $40,000, and was ordered to forfeit $8,000 in purses awarded to his horses. Mares explained, “Suspensions can run up to 25 years,” adding, “It is just a more proactive approach to … the doping problem in New Mexico.”

    Stinebaugh has a Thursday deadline to appeal the ruling given to him Monday.

    Lesson of the day? Skip the sexy stimulants, trainers. Have your horses bone up on their performance skills before they go the distance.
