-- WASHINGTON (November 20, 2006) — Bo Derek hits the half-century mark today.

But don’t expect her to hide under the covers just because she’s turning 50.

She says “this is a perfect opportunity to have a party all about me. I want lots of presents. I want to have the best time of my life.”

Derek says she maintains her weight without dieting or working out in a gym.

She says her theory is the more you worry about the way you look, the fatter you get.
