Get bikini ready with this flat ab workout!
During the shoot there were lots of secretive excited phone calls, which we found out a week later were about her surprise performance on the Oscars. Who knew? And who knew any of the 25 random things she told us for the cover story in SELF, like that she loves Angelina Jolie, snakes and has a taser gun??? I hope she got to meet Angie at the Oscars...
Anyway, she was gorgeous and good-natured and so SELFy...I can’t wait to see her skyrocket!

"I have really strong legs. I inherited them from my dad, who has tree stumps for legs, basically. I've got big calves that look good. When I wear heels, it looks like I've worked out my legs a lot, which is why I love them. I also have a big, big big toe. I call it my goat toe I can climb anything."
Sculpt lean legs fast!
"My biggest splurge was a purse from Louis Vuitton. Ashley Tisdale [from HSM] and I each got one in different colors when we were on tour in Mexico. We call it our friendship purse. I don't want to say how much it cost. I don't like revisiting that place."
"My secret to flat abs is pilates."
"The craziest food I've ever tried was fruit bat, a specialty in the Seychelles islands. They cooked it in red wine. It was really, really dark, grainy meat. It was quite frightening."
"I keep a Taser in my purse for self-defense. I'm moving into a house by myself, and it's scary."
