Irina Shayk may be best known for flaunting her famous assets (and we’re not just talking about her lips) on the cover of Sports Illustrated. But besides being linked to one of the world’s leading soccer studs Cristiano Ronaldo, walking the Paris catwalk for Givenchy, and being the envy of every bikini-clad gal year-round, this Russian-born beauty has a few secrets of her own that she’s sharing exclusively with Celebuzz.

So test your Shayk skills: Who’s sexy celebrity figure does she wish she had? How long does it take her to look that good in the gym? And what is her favorite body part? Hint: it starts with a ‘b.’

1. You have one of the world’s most photographed — and enviable — bodies in the world. How do you stay in tip-top shape?
I work out a lot, but make it a point not to diet. I was lucky enough to inherit great genes from my parents that allow me to eat what I please, but I do prefer to eat healthy foods.

2. Walk us through your daily workout routine — what exercises work the best? How many days a week do you work out?
It all depends on my schedule that day. Sometimes I go to the gym early in the morning, but the best time for me to work out is in the afternoon. After I work out I go straight to Liquiteria to have some coconut water or fresh-squeezed carrot juice to keep me hydrated. I do another one hour work out in the evening at home with my trainer, usually around 7 p.m. My favorite workouts are boxing and jogging along the Westside Highway when the weather is nice. To me, the most important part of any training is finding the right motivation. Working out is always a positive way for me to get more energized.

3. What’s your favorite body part? What’s your least favorite?
My favorite body part to work out is my butt — as it’s very important for a woman. I’m 27 and I have to make sure that it will still be looking good when I’m 37! My least favorite body part to work out is my arms. I am a perfectionist and I am always very critical to myself, I even put pressure on my trainer to work me harder. When I am at the gym I always try to give everything I can to make it worthwhile.

4. What celebrity body do you admire?
I love to see beautiful and sexy people and get inspired to work out my own body. As for celebrities, I admire Sofia Vergara because she’s sexy and curvy. I prefer her type of body to skinny and bony women.

5. We just recently saw you on the Givenchy runway in Paris. Will we see more of you on the catwalk?
I was so excited to be a part of the Givenchy show — it was such an amazing experience and I feel very blessed to be able to do the work that I love. I meet so many talented people every day and it’s a great pleasure to participate in new big projects. The world of high fashion is a dream for every model and I will do my best to achieve as much as I can in it.

6. We are so used to seeing you grace magazine covers in your bikini. Is the catwalk a welcomed change?
Surprisingly enough, modeling swimwear and high fashion isn’t all that different. I have been lucky enough to work with [editor-in-chief of Vogue Paris] Carine Roitfeld and Mario Testino, who are some of the most significant and talented people in fashion, so I have been really lucky. I think that this business is all about who is supporting you and I have great team working for me and supporting my career. I actually feel just as comfortable doing high fashion as I do swim jobs.

8. How would you describe your sense of style?
In my normal life I like casual clothes. I very rarely wear high heels and don’t usually wear any makeup. I like to mix styles and I strive to look casual, yet elegant.

9. You have such an amazing career, but do you see yourself wanting to settle down any time soon and out of the spotlight?
I definitely would like to get married and have a big family with many kids one day. I think that there’s a right time for everything and when I feel that I am ready to settle down I will. For now, I love my work and what I’m doing and am still working towards reaching my full potential in this industry.

10. How would you describe your favorite date night?
To me, there is no such thing as a favorite date night. As long as you are with the person you love, then you can go or do anything and make it the perfect night.

11. Tell us your favorite things to do when you’re not on the runway.
I love reading, and if I have some free time I like watching movies and the National Geographic channel! I am very fond of history and love to read about the history of Russia. Right now, I have been reading a lot about designing clothing — it’s fascinating!

12. What’s one thing people would be surprised to know about you?
I love to joke around make people laugh. When my sister and I get together we are constantly laughing and making fun of each other. She always says that if people saw me at these moments, they’d never believe their eyes.

13. You graced the cover of Sports Illustrated in 2011 and the following year passed the coveted baton to newcomer Kate Upton. What is the advice you gave her?
Kate is such a nice girl and a real sweetheart. She is doing really great and I wish her nothing but the best in her career.

14. Many models move on to successful acting careers. Is that in your future? What’s your perfect role?
I have thought about acting and had some propositions already! If I decided to go for it, my ideal character would be a Russian spy or a James Bond girl.

15. As you’ve grown in the industry, what’s the best advice you’ve ever received?
The best advise I ever received came from my grandmother. She is 86 years old now and is a hero of World War II. She is such a strong woman and always stays positive. When my father passed away she was supporting my whole family and showed me what true strength was and how you can achieve anything if you just believe in yourself. Whenever I find myself struggling or having a tough moment in life I always think of her and the things that she had to face during the war and it helps me remember to be brave and to stay strong like her.

Whether he’s on the soccer field or stepping out on a red carpet, Cristiano Ronaldo manages to make ladies everywhere swoon!

The international stud attended the red carpet premiere of a documentary based on his life titled Cristiano Al Limite in Spain on Wednesday and looked divine in a white button down shirt.

It looks like he’s had a busy summer!

The soccer player played in a number of matched with his team Real Madrid (their last game was in Cyprus) and also got to spend time with his girlfriend and Sports Illustrated model Irina Shayk. Check out some photos of them together below

Armani is finally giving us some more eye candy! The designer brand unveiled the face of their new underwear and jeans campaign — and it’s tennis stud Rafael Nadal. He joins a slew of other sports players like David Beckham and Cristiano Ronaldo who have stripped down to their briefs for the brand.

On Aug. 25, Nadal will be in New York for the exclusive international unveiling of his new Fall 2011 Armani Jeans and Emporio Armani Underwear campaign. The twenty-foot-tall billboard will be located at Macy’s in Herald Square and show off his ripped abs. So how do you think he stands up to the previous men who have fronted the campaign? Vote in the poll and leave a few comments.

In an interview with Giorgio Armani, he explained why he chose Nadal for the campaign.

“Nadal is a real phenomenon, probably the best player who has stepped on a court, with awesome power and agility. I am delighted to see him play in every match. He is the ideal image because he represents a healthy and positive model for young people.”

Cristiano Ronaldo’s main gal Irina Shayk was spotted working out in New York on Monday and flaunted her fabulous figure. The Russian born beauty stretched before heading off for an intense run.

Wearing a blue sports bra and yoga pants, Irina had her iPod in hand for her jog.

It takes work for the Sports Illustrated model to look that good!

Shayk, 25, has been dating soccer stud Cristiano Ronaldo for a little over a year.

Lots of Hollywood ladies have been seen around town wearing the shortest of shorts, but it looks like one very sexy guy has joined the trend!

Soccer stud Cristiano Ronaldo was seen after practice in LA on Tuesday afternoon and hiked up his athletic shorts to maximize his leg skin exposure. The Real Madrid player was also kind enough to sign some autographs for fans that were waiting outside his practice.

We think this look absolutely suits him!

If only more guys would join the trend.

Now this is one sexy couple! Ab-tastic soccer player and Armani underwear model Cristiano Ronaldo was spotted enjoying a day at the beach with Sports Illustrated model and longtime girlfriend, Irina Shayk.

Irina showed off her magazine cover-worthy figure in a teeny-tiny neon yellow bikini while her beau flashed his famous abs in nothing but short boardshorts. Irina’s body was clearly irresistible to Cristiano who was spotted repeatedly grabbing his sweetie’s tush as they played around in the waves.

Cristiano is probably best known as the Real Madrid soccer player who edged out David Beckham to become the world’s sexiest footballer. Supermodel Irina is famous in her own right for landing the coveted cover of the 2011 edition of the Sports Illustrated swimsuit magazine.

The couple prove that sexiness can bring people from different countries together: Cristiano is originally from Portugal while Irina hails from a small town in Russia.

Check out Cristiano’s commercial for Armani below.

Soccer hunk Cristiano Ronaldo may be out of the World Cup but he does have some good news to share with the world: He’s a new father!

The 25-year-old Portuguese soccer stud recently announced on Twitter (via Hollywood Life) that he is the happy father of a new baby:

It is with great joy and emotion that I inform I have recently become father to a baby boy. As agreed with the baby’s mother, who prefers to have her identity kept confidential, my son will be under my exclusive guardianship. No further information will be provided on this subject and I request everyone to fully respect my right to privacy (and that of the child) at least on issues as personal as these are.

It was not made public that Cristiano was expecting a child so naturally everyone was shocked to find out that the young soccer star recently became a father. However, it is great to find out that he is taking an active role in his child’s life. Could this be the end of his playboy ways?

Congratulations to Cristiano and his anonymous baby mama!

Apparently, there’s one fiery wreck that Cristiano Ronaldo just couldn’t avoid.

The Manchester United soccer star, who successfully fended off Paris Hilton‘s advances last July, wasn’t so lucky while piloting his red Ferrari 599 GTB on Thursday morning, the Telegraph reports.

Ronaldo, 23, totaled his ride in Manchester, England, while driving just ahead of a Bentley being driven by his teammate, Edwin van der Saar. Both are believed to have been heading to their team’s Carrington training ground.

The crash occurred at approximately 10:20 a.m. on a stretch of road that takes traffic beneath the runways of Manchester Airport. Though the Ferrari was pretty thoroughly destroyed, Ronaldo emerged physically unscathed and made it to his team’s training session.

“The front of Ronaldo’s car was completely mangled,” says a witness to the wreck. “There was metal all over the road, and debris. We had to dodge our way through it. Ronaldo was just standing at the side of the road looking forlorn and bewildered.”

Police questioned Ronaldo shortly after the incident and administered a breathalyzer test, which came back negative.

Luckily, Ronaldo has no shortage of alternate wheels. The soccer player has a fleet of cars including a  Bentley Continental GT Speed and a Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe. And if he has any boo-boos that need to be kissed, he seems to have that pretty well covered too.

Now that the roving body parts of John Mayer have pushed the Maniston tryst to its tragic end, it’s time to take Jennifer Aniston‘s future love life into your own hands. 

Poor Jennifer has a tendency to go through men quicker than Britney Spears goes through a bag of Cheetos. She’s probably open to a few suggestions.

Check out the gallery to the right. Leave any additional Jen prospects in comments.

Cristiano Ronaldo hasn’t let being on crutches halt his whirlwind tour of Los Angeles nightlife.

The Manchester United soccer phenomenon has been in the U.S. for business meetings this past week.

During his off hours, the womanzing athlete has hopped around the City of Angels sampling all that the L.A. club scene has to offer.

Except Paris Hilton. Ronaldo was at Villa last week when the trash-baggy heiress (who has a boyfriend) allegedly rolled up on him and squeezed her breasts together.

His rep says Ronaldo is on crutches due to ankle surgery. A more plausible reality is that Ronaldo was leaping over tables, shoving aside waitresses and vaulting the DJ booth to escape Hilton’s talons.

Hence, the crutches.

Spanish model Nereida Gallardo is living proof that, while soccer players may not score often on the field, they do exceptionally well off the field.

The up-until-recently girlfriend of Cristiano Ronaldo, who plays for Manchester United and the Portuguese national team, is a one-woman advertisement for the benefits of soccer.

If only she were to do a public-service announcement in America, interest in the sport would catapult to sky-high.

Until that happens, enjoy these shots of Gallardo vacationing in Palma de Mallorca, Spain.

Paris Hilton was spied all over soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo at Villa in Los Angeles on Tuesday night, to no avail. The erotically high scoring athlete apparently wanted nothing to do with her. Maybe he heard that she already has a boyfriend? Does she know?

“[Paris] went over to his private table. She pushed her chest together and made a point of trying to snuggle up against him,” a source told the Daily Mail. That poor bastard.

The reportedly single Ronaldo, perhaps noting that it was, well, Paris Hilton, “turned his back on her.”

Did he hurt his leg trying to get away?

Paris has been in a lengthy (in skank years) relationship with Good Charlotte‘s Benji Madden for several months. The two have even discussed children. Mommy has two boyfriends?

As July progresses, the weather gets warmer and the tops come off! And, come on, who objects to seeing as many pictures of shirtless men as possible?

Whether they’re at the beach, playing sports or just peeping out of their doors, these stomach-flexing Hollywood hunks are bound to get noticed.

Try not to weep tears of joy as you take a long look at these half-naked men, stacked in order of hot to smokin’ hot (because there is never a category lower than hot when it comes to this gallery topic)! Who has the best abs? Give us your opinion both in the poll and under comments!

Posh and Becks are suddenly a little tired.

Soccer stud Cristiano Ronaldo and his girlfriend, Spanish model Nereida Gallardo, were captured on the beach in Sardinia, Italy, recently—and boy do they make a lovely couple.

For the 95 percent of Americans who’ve never heard of soccer, Ronaldo plays for Manchester United and the Portuguese national team.

And Gallardo…well, she looks like this. Are any other credentials necessary?

She sure receives the seal of approval from former flame Pedro Campane. The soccer agent told British newspaper the Sun, “We slept together the first night we met. It wasn’t difficult persuading her…She liked doing everything in every position…Nereida doesn’t know much about football, but she knows lots about men—and how to please them.”

But then, in Victoria Beckham‘s defense, she has those knobby knees going for her. So, it all evens out in the end, right?
