Zap2it: What athletic mentality is best for prevailing in this week's big "Americna Ninja Warrior" finale at the American Mount Midoriyama obstacle course at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas?
Jonny Moseley: On this course, you have to have an incredible degree of adaptability, that kind of "dude" mentality, because you don't know what the obstacles are going to be. Even if you watch competitors from the side, it's different for you. And these guys are under time pressure. How quickly can you make a judgment, then stick to that execution, and how good is that judgment?
Zap2it: You won an Olympic gold medal [Nagano, 1998] for freestyle skiing. Are other skiers attempting the course?
Jonny Moseley: I haven't seen any skiers that I knew. You'll probably start to see some. You remember that show "The Superstars"? (It pitted athletes from different disciplines in an all-around competition.) I got...

Unlike many celeb moms in Hollywood, Ali Landry didn't jump right back into exercising just weeks after having a baby. Not at all. In fact, the former Doritos girl took almost two years off from working out following the July 2007 birth of daughter Estela with her husband, film director Alejandro Gomez Monteverde. Instead of hitting the gym, Landry, 34, relied on a home-delivery meal service to drop her pregnancy pounds. "I lost the majority of the [post-baby] weight pretty fast doing that," Landry told People at Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS A Time for Heroes Celebrity Carnival in L.A. recently.
