Country star Faith Hill graces the cover of Shape Magazine in a bikini for the first time ever. The 41-year-old mother-of-three is feeling better and more comfortable with her body and she says it’s because of regular exercise.

“I found I slept better, had more energy and was stronger,” says Hill, who then increased her regime to include Pilates classes three times a week.

“It was so hard, but ultimately so worth it. My core is much stronger, and my arms are more toned. In fact, wearing a bikini on a magazine cover is my 41st birthday present to myself.”

Thanks to Pilates, even hubby Tim McGraw is benefiting from the results of a more flexible and confident woman.

“I could bend in ways I haven’t been able to since I was a teenager,” the Nashville-based star tells Shape magazine for its December issue (on sale Nov. 10).

“My husband [Tim McGraw] loves it!”

I’m starting to think Pilates might be the answer for the unhappy middle-aged couples with marital problems… if it makes you look that good and bend! It’s a miracle! Or it could be what we call Photoshopping!!

A couple of days ago we posted about Faith Hill giving a fan a chewing out for grabbing husband Tim McGraw’s balls while he performed.  Now we have a clip of another fan taking a ring off of McGraw’s finger as he shook hands with fans during the song ‘Fly Away’.  He stops mid song and tells the fan to give his ring back.  When she won’t comply he calls security to assist him.

Check out the video below.

Faith Hill gave a tongue lashing to a fan at her and husband Tim McGraw’s concert at the Cajun Dome in Lafayette, Louisiana, after the fan grabbed McGraw’s package (Cajun women just don’t care!) while he was leaning down to shake their hands.

The video (which you can see at TMZ) shows a pissed Hill lecturing the fan about her actions.

“Somebody needs to teach you some class, my friend,” Faith scolded the fan. “You don’t go grabbin’ somebody else’s — somebody’s husband’s balls, you understand me? That’s very disrespectful.”

Way to stand up for your man Faith! Now if you could just get him off the excessive booze and drugs! You can see in the clip below where Faith was pissed at the CMA’s this year when Carrie Underwood beat her out for Female Vocalist of the Year.
