In Honor of Cinco de Mayo: Six-Packs! Print E-mail

That was a cerveza reference, by the way. But before you gorge on nachos and margaritas this weekend, try to garner some willpower from these washboard-bodied celebs. Here’s Life & Style’s rundown of the hottest abs in Hollywood :

10. Shakira

9. Jessica Alba

8. Gisele Bundchen

7. Mario Lopez

6. Denise Richards

5&4. Keira Knightley and Rupert Friend

3. David Beckham

2. Jessica Biel

1. Matthew McConaughey

Now, I have a few suggestions, natch. The couple thing is cutesy, but Rupert Friend needs to pass his trophy over to Jake Gyllenhaal, whose abs we’ve actually seen. Then I’m going to replace Gisele with Daniel Radcliffe (here's why), and sub in any one of the Pussycat Dolls for Denise Richards (yawn). Now we have a list. 

What makes this list work, I think, is that very few (save Gisele and Keira) made the list solely by being skinny. Shakira does belly-dancing. Denise does Pilates and kickboxing, both of which are core-centric workouts. Becks does soccer, obviously. Mario is a star wrestler—wait, no, I’m thinking of A.C. Slater. Matthew McConaughey runs in front of cameras with his shirt off. And I think I’ve exceeded my gossip quotient on the Jessicas, but…you know, plyometrics and jogging and so on.

In other words, you’re not going to get a Top 10-worthy six-pack without some exercise. (Note the lack of Nicole Richie, who manages to have no definition despite her complete lack of body fat.) So somewhere between the Derby and the fiestas, try to squeeze in a little sweat—and “ Corona curls” at the bar don't count.
