Just in time for bikini season is Us Weekly's "Hot Body" issue, which gives the lowdown on bikini secrets from stars like Lauren Conrad, Jessica Szohr, and Fergie. Here's a sneak peek on what you'll find inside:

• Jessica Szohr tells Us Weekly, "I watch what I eat during the week, and on weekends I kind of splurge. If you starve yourself, you’ll go nuts." A typical day for Jessica might include an egg white breakfast, a salad for lunch, and pasta dinner. To stay in shape, Jessica takes kickboxing and yoga classes at Equinox. "My legs were a little muscular," she says. "But yoga is one thing I do to look less bulky."

Before the Summer blockbusters come storming in, there's still time to catch up on the big movies you missed in the theater. Today I've got one Oscar nominee, one rom-com, and one for the whole family.

Nine

In the latest musical-turned-movie from director Rob Marshall, Daniel Day-Lewis plays Guido Contini, a famous Italian filmmaker suffering a midlife crisis. As he struggles to find inspiration for his ninth film, he reflects on his relationships with the many ladies who have affected him over the years — which includes a wide array of talented ladies like Kate Hudson, Fergie, and Judi Dench. Though the film didn't live up to the hype for the critics or at the box office, I thought it was pretty, fun, and full of entertaining song-and-dance numbers. Penelope Cruz and Marion Cotillard turn in solid performances as Contini's mistress and neglected wife, and Cruz scored an Oscar nod for the role.

DVD extras include director commentary, featurettes, music videos, and a Screen Actors Guild Q&A.

Leap Year

In Leap Year, Anna (Amy Adams) decides to take matters into her own hands when her boyfriend drags his feet on asking for her hand in marriage. She heads to Ireland for Leap Day, the one day where women can propose to men instead of the other way around. She encounters a few bumps along the way, one in the form of a handsome stranger named Declan (Matthew Goode). There's nothing new here as far as romantic comedies go, but the irresistible chemistry between Adams and Goode makes this the perfect rental for a Saturday night in.

DVD extras include deleted scenes.

Two of the ladies of Nine, Penelope Cruz and Marion Cotillard, were in Paris last night for a premiere with costar Daniel Day-Lewis and director Rob Marshall. The film opens there in early March, though it debuted in the US last December just in time to make the 2010 Oscar nominations — the plan turned out well for Penelope, who's up for an award in the Best Supporting Actress category. Before the show on March 7, make sure to fill out Buzz's ballot with all your winner predictions and enter the running to win an amazing prize pack!

Penelope Cruz wrapped up her good bikini times at the beach in Brazil with Javier Bardem in order to head to Italy for Nine press events today. Joining Penelope was Sophia Loren and Marion Cotillard, who has quite the life going from one party with Hollywood's hottest guys to a photo call and premiere in Rome with her gorgeous costars. A few members from their cast will be in LA this weekend for the Golden Globes — make sure to fill out Buzz's ballot — and we're hoping to see the all the ladies hit the stage together at least once during awards season.
