Want a behind like mine? Kim Kardashian puts mother Kris through her paces... in front of the cameras of course

She has one of the most famous figures on the planet right now, thanks (primarily) to her shapely derrière.

Kim Kardashian proudly showed it off during a workout on the beach yesterday in tight lycra exercise gear.

And it looks as though her mother's Kris might be after a few pointers in that department, as Kim was seen putting her through her paces at Santa Monica.

The mother and daughter team were filming a new ad campaign for Skecher's Shape Up sneakers.

Kim, 30, is the face of the brand and starred in a $3 million, thirty second super Bowl commercial for the company this year.

The pair were followed by cameras as the power walked along the beach and Kris, 55, watched as her daughter showed her some leg lifts.

Kim wore a tight pink sports top and black leggings to colour-coordinate with her Shape Ups, while Kris wore a black and white workout outfit.

Kim's Super Bowl ad sent pulses racing when it aired in February. A shortened clip of the original now airs in the UK.

In the ad Kim is seen getting steamy with her personal trainer, before telling him she doesn't need him any more, thanks to her new Shape Ups.

The brand is just one of many endorsements under Kim and her sisters have under their belt.

The Hollywood Reporter recently revealed that last year the Kardashians earned a combined $65 million from their slew of reality shows, endorsement deals and products.

And Kris, who acts as the family's manager, ensures that the company's who pay them get their money's worth.

Her daughter was pictured visiting the gym with sister Kourtney the day before, wearing a different pair of the resistance training shoes, making sure she represents the brand on and off the clock.

The brand has witnessed a spike in sales since Kardashian began acting as ambassador for the brand, but it hasn't been without controversy.

A woman in Ohio is suing the company, claiming she began suffering from painful stress fractures in her hips after wearing the shoes for an extended period, and required surgery.

This week all of the Kardashian ladies turned up to celebrate their Redbook magazine cover at a party in Los Angeles.

In the issue, Kris defends her daughters' careers.

'It's annoying when I hear, "What do your girls do?",' she said. 'Well, first of all, all of my daughters have jobs.

'They are fashion stylists and designers; they own a chain of stores. They had the stores before they had the show.

'And my kids worked from the time they were 13 years old.

'So to me, that's a huge misconception - that the girls don't work. They work 25 hours a day.

'And that they don't have any talent? They might not be singers or dancers, but they certainly know how to produce a television show.

'Whether you want to call it talent or not, they have multiple shows on the air. [I want to say,] How many shows do you have?'

Kim Kardashian reveals that her wedding is completely planned

Kim Kardashian is not engaged yet, but when she finally is, the wedding planning will be easy because she’s pretty much already got it planned.

Kim reportedly revealed to ‘Life & Style’ that she knows exactly how she wants her big day to be, states HollywoodLife. “I’ve envisioned the whole thing,” Kim said about the day she is dreaming of.

She also revealed that she has her wedding dress figured out and allegedly wants Lorraine Schwartz to design her engagement ring. Sounds like Kris Humphries should be listening.

Do you think Kim Kardashian will get engaged soon?

'I am what I am': Martine McCutcheon shows off her curves in new photoshoot as she insists she is proud to be a role model for 'real' women

She's had her fair share of time in the spotlight over her weight in the past.

But now Martine McCutcheon has posed for a new photoshoot to show off her curves and insists she is proud to be a role model for 'real' women.

The 34-year-old actress, who previously admitted she fluctuates between a size 8 and a 14, said she has learned to accept and love her figure.

She told SHE magazine: 'I think there's always room for improvement, but I've learned a lot since hitting my 30s and accepting what I am and what I'm not. And I've stopped striving for something I can't maintain.

'I don't want to fly the flag for being unhealthy and overweight, but I don't want to fly the flag for being too thin either.

'I've never pretended to be a supermodel. I am what I am. I'm attractive, I make the most of myself and I'm real.'

In the accompanying photoshoot, Martine looks stunning as she poses in a slinky satin dress before changing into a pussybow shirt and polka dot skirt for another shot.

However, the former EastEnders star admits it was difficult maintaining her figure in the public eye.

She added: 'I think it was a blessing and a curse growing up in the public eye. I’ve had everything said about me that can be said - the good, the bad, the ugly.

'You start to realise you need to be own best friend and be kind to yourself.'

As well as proudly displaying her curves in the shoot, Martine sports a glowing complexion, which could be down to the fact she is in the process of planning her wedding to fiancé Jack McManus.

However, Martine said she isn't too worried about starting a family too quickly, and would like to enjoy married life before having children.

She said: 'I’m not too worried about having children at the moment. I feel like, it’ll happen when it happens, but I’m not yearning to be a mother. I’d be lying if I said I am.

'My mum had my brother when I was 15 and I was like another mum to him.

'So I’ve no illusions about the fairytale family, I know the reality of hard work.

'I'm enjoying being loved up and having my career my way and feeling a lot more content in my own skin.

'I think there are lots of passions in life that don’t have to revolve around taking care of someone else 24/7.'

And Martine, who previously dated Mick Hucknall and model James Gooding, said she believes her past relationships put her on the path to meeting singer McManus.

She said: 'I don’t think it’s a coincidence that knowing myself made me find someone who’s a lot better for me.

'How can you pick the right person when you don’t even know yourself?

'But I wouldn’t change the relationships I had. They helped me define what I wanted.'
