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!!

Tim McGraw took the law into his own hands at his concert last night (see video above). A rowdy male fan was all over a female on the front row and Tim called security after pulling him off the woman. McGraw then helped pull the male on stage and shoved him in the back as security was escorting him off. The fan said something and Tim cocked his fist before security wisely escorted the fan off stage as he tipped his hat to the crowd. Not much of a fight but Tim was more than ready to protect his female fans.

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.
