MARTINA MCBRIDE ON THE COVER OF THE NEXT "SHAPE" MAGAZINE . . . WEARING BIKINI:
The fine people at "Shape" magazine asked JULIANNE HOUGH, LEANN RIMES and MARTINA MCBRIDE to share the cover of their July issue . . . and all three said yes. And that's not even the best part.
--"Shape" persuaded all three of them to pose in bikinis. It's not the first time for LeAnn and Julianne. Each of them have posed on the cover before . . . but how awesome is it that "Shape" convinced Martina McBride to show off her rockin' 42-year-old body.
--Martina tells Nashville's WKRN-TV how it went down, quote, "I got there and I'm thinking, okay, you know, I've been working out a little bit, I'll wear a tank top, maybe a pair of shorts, show a little legs, show a little arms.
--"They whip out the bikini and I say, 'Oh, that's cute. Who's that for?' And they're like, 'Oh, that's yours' . . . I'm like, 'Hmmm, I'll be right back.'"
--Martina sneaked off to another room and called her husband for approval. And God bless the man, he was cool with it. She continues, quote, "I said, 'John, I think I'm going to be in a bikini on this thing,' and he's like, 'That's awesome!'"
