Sophie Monk: Sunshine State
Put on your swim trucks and wax that bikini line, actress and singer Sophie Monk is about to guide you through the greatest summer of your life.

Stuff, 6/5/2007

Ah, summertime. Fireworks streaking across a clear night sky; hot dogs grilling at the family barbecue; a gorgeous, scantily clad Australian pop star sunning on the towel next to you-could you ask for anything more? Sophie Monk, the gorgeous Australian pop star in question, cut her teeth with her multiplatinum band Bardot, and after releasing a successful solo album, she set her sights on conquering the States. After her first acting gig (portraying Marilyn Monroe in The Mystery of Natalie Wood), Sophie landed roles in Click, Date Movie and, most recently, a juicy part on Entourage. Toss in an engagement to Good Charlotte's Benji Madden, and Sophie is a force to be reckoned with. And like us, this is her favorite time of the year. "If I could have summer all year long, I'd be very happy," she says. So follow Sophie's advice and prepare for the ultimate in summer fun.

Start working on that summer body: "Exercise is definitely the key. I run by the beach, but I don't really work out that hard. An old man actually passed me when I was jogging the other day! I was like, How did you do that? But I find that if I'm in a cranky–pants mood, exercise puts me in a good one."

Learn how to really hate the other seasons: "I hate cold. I'm like a bear: I would rather hibernate. All I think about is surviving through the cold. You'll never take me to snow. I have no desire to ski-I know I won't like it."

Find the right vacation spot: "I go to Byron Bay. It's a hippie town in Australia between Queensland and Sydney. It's a weird little community. They're not allowed to have McDonald's there, and no one wears shoes. It's really relaxed, and the beaches are beautiful. The sand is like silk."

Hit the beach: "I wear skimpy outfits when I'm shooting because it's work, but at the beach I actually wear a tank top and shorts. I don't know why, but I'm not very comfortable in a bikini. I don't want one of those random photos in the tabloids that says Sophie Has Cellulite! [Laughs] That would kill me. For guys, I think simple is best. I'm not into colored shorts-you know, people wear those board shorts. I think the key is to keep it simple."

Do not wear a Speedo: "Oh, my God! My dad's destroyed that for me, because he wears one that's way too tight, and his belly kind of hangs over it. I'm so tortured by them now, I can't even look at them! Seriously."

Build up that tolerance: "I can't drink too much. It gets to me very quickly. I drink, but not excessively; I'm not a crazy party animal at all. Even if I feel just a little tipsy, I'm like, I'm gonna go. I'm not embarrassing myself."

But let someone else throw the parties: "I don't like the responsibility of throwing a party in case only two friends come or something. That's my nightmare. And I always end up in the corner talking to someone I don't really want to, listening to their life story."

Pick the right-or just plain weird-summer music: "In Australia, Christmas is in the summer, so I still break out Mariah Carey's Christmas carols. My whole family loves it. I'm a geek. [Laughs] I love Janet Jackson's music, too. I like Britney Spears and all that sort of stuff. I'm definitely a pop queen."

Score tickets to the hottest concerts: "I like going to concerts. I saw Madonna while she was here, which was cool, except it was a million degrees, and some guy in front of me kept farting. It really ruined my experience. He kept farting, and it was so warm. It was the worst. I thought about leaving. I was like, I can't handle this. I'm gonna vomit."

If you're going to hit on women, know what you're doing: "Being on the beach is kind of like a nightclub situation-you're not wearing much clothing, and it feels a bit sleazy. I think you're better off waiting till she goes up to get a drink or something. Compliment her and you can't go wrong. But give an all–around compliment. Something like, ‘Hey, you've got nice boobs' definitely won't work! I don't really get hit on that much. I don't give off that vibe of being single. I'm definitely friendly, but I'm not flirtatious."

And don't do this: "I had my car window down, and I felt something hit my head. I looked down and it was a business card. This guy in the car next to me had thrown his card! Then he kind of nodded at me. I was like, Are you serious?!"

While you're at it, don't do this either: "I had another guy cut me off on the road and make me pull over. And he didn't realize that he had already asked me out a week before in a coffee shop. I was like, ‘You're really after blondes!'"
