Brooke Shields is a vision in yellow on Fitness cover

Brooke Shields sure has come far from her jail bait days of, "Nothing comes between me and my Calvins." Brooke graces the cover of October's Fitness magazine, and she looks really vibrant and happy. I also can't wait to see Brooke's new TV show Lipstick Jungle based on the Candace Bushnell book, the same author of Sex & the City.

Here's some highlights from Brooke's Fitness interview:

On being 42: "I always wanted to feel fulfilled, but I wasn't always convinced it was going to happen. But now that I have my husband and my kids, I am. That makes me feel younger than I am—like life is just beginning for me.”

On beating stress: “Exercise helps me beat stress…Having a beer also helps me decompress—though it’s hard for me to say that, because I come from an alcoholic family.”

On Staying fit: "I try to do an hour of something everyday. It's almost impossible when I'm working, because I'm on the set for 14-16 hours…But on days when the baby has woken up four times during the night, putting my sneakers on is the last thing I want to do. I'd rather have four cups of coffee, and, after the caffeine wears off, take a nap with her! I used to have a very type-A lifestyle, but being a mom changed all that.”

I'd say, I'd love to have a cold frothy brewskie with Brooke. She seems like a really cool, down to earth kind of gal. She's definitely a class act in my book.
