Faith Hill's First Ever Bikini Photo Shoot

gave herself a special 41st birthday gift this year. She revved up her exercise routine to three sessions of Pilate's each week. That was just the beginning. She agreed to do a bikini photo shoot for Shape magazine's December issue. It is the first time this talented country western musician has posed in a bikini and we must say she's HOT.

The singer is married to country star Tim McGraw. He made some disparaging comments about Curb Records, his recording label, after they released another 'greatest hits' album compilation rather than use any of his new material. He actually apologized to his fans. Check out that story here.

Hill is currently working on her 7th studio album which is set to drop in 2009. When asked about how she balances a career and her family obligations, she shared that she and Tim never spend more than three consecutive days apart at any given time. They are the parents of three daughters: Gracie, Maggie and Audrey.

The December issue of Shape will hit newsstands on November 10, 2008.
