The pouring rain didn’t put a damper on the festive mood inside the exclusive New York City hotspot Avenue on Tuesday, where the CEO of American Media, David Pecker was on-hand to announce the female winner, while President of Wilhelmina, Sean Patterson announced the male winner of the ultra competitive Wilhelmina Hot Body Model Search, presented by Shape and Men’s Fitness.

Over 4,000 gorgeous men and women entered the nationwide contest, so the competition was fierce and fabulous, but only one lucky man and woman went home with the top prizes, which included a photo shoot in Men’s Fitness for him and Shape magazine for her, as well as a membership to Gold’s Gym and a 5-year modeling contract with Wilhelmina Models.

“It means a lot,” Nerijus told us of his victory. “I started reading Men’s Fitness when I was 16-years-old and got really into the idea of working out. I would cut out pictures and say this is the way I want to look.  I think it got me to where I am today.”

The hunky New Yorker, who maintains his 6-pack from weight lifting, intense cardio, internal training, kickboxing and proper stretching, also avoids eating processed foods but can’t resist the chocolate brownies!  “I have to have it at least once a week.  I give myself balance so I can feel good about myself.”

Viktoria, who has done some modeling in the past, attributes her perfectly sculpted bod to an active lifestyle, which includes boxing, dancing, boot camp and spinning.  “I always change it up to keep it interesting and challenging, but I can tell you I am doing this stuff 6 days a week,” she explained to Star Magazine.

When asked if she could be on the cover of any magazine which one would she choose, Viktoria answered without hesitation.  “Shape magazine!”

Burn Notice’s Jeffrey Donovan says his tough guy TV persona translates into real life, “No one has ever been silly enough or stupid enough to attack me,” RadarOnline.com has learned.

The 41 year old hunk is the cover model for the April Issue of Men’s Fitness.

“I can’t look like I just walked out of a gym,” Donovan says in the issue. “There’s a certain physical presence I need to have on my show. This isn’t something I’m doing as a hobby.”

The USA Network star says his martial arts training also helps him with the physical role.  “The character had to be skilled in hand-to-hand combat, but we had to marry what would be flashy with what would really happen.” 

But Jeffrey tells the magazine “Anyone can kick somebody in the solar plexus and knock them down. I’m trying to find peace in my life.”

And his secret to staying injury free? “When you get to 40, mistakes will really cost you. That’s why having a trainer is so important.”

Fighting Champ Lyoto Machida Gives Men’s Fitness The Secret To His Success

He may have a UFC light heavyweight championship under his belt but that doesn’t mean Lyoto “The Dragon” Machida is resting on his laurels. The Brazlian-born champ recently opened up to Men’s Fitness about proving himself to fans, his training schedule, and the secret he learned when he fought in Japan.

Get More on Machida at Men’s Fitness

As the years have gone by, his lightning moves have improved and are finally gotten respect from the ringside audience:  "In the past, a lot of [fans] would miss my moves and nothing would happen to the opponent. Now they might miss my moves, but they see the other guy falling to the canvas. Now they get it." 

While his dad used to literally slap him in the face as a teenager if he missed a 5 a.m. wake-up all to begin training, Machida quickly realized that his success (and failure) were all up to him.

"I traveled alone for almost two years and would sometimes go 10 days without talking to my family or anyone.  I was lonely.  I learned something in Japan that my dad had always taught in me.  In life, you're always alone,” he revealed to Men’s Fitness about fighting on the Japanese grappling circuit after college. “You're born alone. You die alone.  And when you step into the ring, you're alone.  You're responsible for your own actions and going out there and doing and not waiting for other people."

He may now be reaping the rewards of years of hard work but Machida still gives much thought to his humble beginnings.

"I always look back at the beginning, at the time when I didn't have a place to showcase my work, when I didn't have fights scheduled, when I didn't have fans, when I didn't have money.  I wanted all of that, and that reminds me how hard I have to fight for it."

As for what is next, his father Yoshizo Machida summed it up the best: "I'd rate him as 75 out of 100 in terms of fulfilling his potential. When he won the title, I told him now is when the real work begins."
