...mess," her mentor, Awilda Rivera, agrees. But she learned. "We treated her like a colleague, because that's what you are when you work here."

That's not quite the full story. De Laurentiis exercises three days a week with Joseph Rivera, a Taekwondo black belt whose other clients have included a Playboy cover model. She also regularly walks along the beach near her Pacific Palisades, Calif., home for as long as two hours, which she admits can get "really freakin' boring...
