We are almost exactly one month away from Coachella, and as we've learned, the event has become just as much about the pool parties happening that weekend as it is about the music festival, and taking a dip to stay cool in the dry desert heat will look very appealing as the sun beats down on Indio. Are you prepared to strip down in broad daylight in such a social setting? We certainly aren't. But we have a little over four weeks to get there, and with the right exercise and motivation, dream bikini figures are within reach. We've done the research and looked outside the box to bring you this roundup of five of the best new fitness programs and exercises beyond the tired gym that will get your body pool party-ready for Coachella and let you have fun in the process.

Good news for all of you who didn't score tickets to either of the two back-to-back Coachella Weekends. As of Monday, festival producer Goldenvoice unveiled a jam-packed schedule of shows in the L.A. area and even stretching as far as San Diego, Ventura and Pioneertown featuring many of the Coachella 2013 artists in the days surrounding the desert music festival. Dubbed "Goldenvoice Presents April 2013," the two-week music program gives those opting out of Coachella the chance to see a good number of festival performers in more intimate venues before, in between, and after Coachella Weekends 1 and 2. Let's break down who you'll be able to catch at these local shows if you're not making the voyage to the desert next month or just want a second helping of some of this year's performers.

Now that the rumor mill has mercifully come to a screeching halt with the release of the Coachella 2013 lineup, it's time to stop talking hypotheticals and holograms and discuss the living, breathing artists set play this year. Like many who were under the impression The Rolling Stones were playing, our jaws are still halfway to the floor in utter confusion by the headliner choices (uh, the Stone Roses? Someone lost a bet. That's the only way that makes sense.). Despite that highly perturbing part of the bill, there are plenty of other performers we are very stoked about on the lineup. Following last week's selection of Day 1 and Day 2 artists, here are the Day 3 artists we're most excited to see on Sunday, April 14th and 21st at Coachella 2013.

%@$#ING FINALLY! Here it is, everyone. Behold, the official Coachella 2013 lineup just released by Goldenvoice on the Coachella website. And The Rolling Stones NO esta! Also, what in the world are the Stone Roses doing in that Friday headliner slot? How confused is everyone by this? Because my friend just asked me if "Stoned Rose" is a band. More>>

As we make our way through the final stretch of January, we're left questioning what is taking so long as anticipation of the bill, traditionally released mid-month, for this year's still lineup-less Coachella 2013 intensifies with each passing day. But there's plenty of noise to fill the void, as a steady flow of worthless non-information courtesy of message board wackos who have the time and Photoshop know-how to fabricate fake LA Times articles, as well as those masters of withholding at Goldenvoice. Following that mystifying photo of a lone rock in the Empire Polo Field, yesterday Coachella both tickled and infuriated with another uninformative tease in the form of video titled "Bloom," a trippy time-lapse clip of the festival sprouting up from polo grounds, posted to its official Facebook page: More»

Rampant speculation on the Coachella 2013 lineup continues following last week's major hint droppage that The Rolling Stones would be a headliner this year. With the official festival lineup traditionally released right around this time of the month in January, the anticipation is mounting and today we get another tease thanks to MTV which took the liberty of leaking a 2013 lineup flyer. Albeit, a totally fake one someone who learned how to use Photoshop over there made with a pretty hilarious list of "performers" that might make you snort... More»

Almost entirely unsubstantiated rumors of The Rolling Stones playing Coachella have swirled around year after year in the months leading up to the release of the festival's official lineup. But with their recent 50th anniversary reunion shows and new greatest hits album, unconfirmed talk of a Coachella 2013 appearance has dialed up even higher on the blogosphere. Oh, and then there was that accidental tour date titled "Coachella 2013" for April posted on the band's mobile app last month that was swiftly deleted. Then, Coachella posted the above photo of a rock (or STONE!!!) in the middle of the festival grounds on their Facebook page with the message "Happy New Years [sic]! We're excited, hope you are too!"
