LL Cool J recently inked a deal to publish a fitness book entitled LL Cool J's Platinum Body.
Book publisher Rodale Books announced that they reached an agreement with the rap legend and plan to release the book in January 2007.

LL Cool J's Platinum Body is based on the "Platinum Body" fitness and nutrition regimen, created by LL and his personal trainer Dave "Scooter" Honig.

"This workout program changed my life -- both physically and emotionally," says LL Cool J via a statement. "Now I want to share with others how they can achieve their own personal version of a Platinum Body."

LL has also branched out into fashion. The Queens, NY MC launched his Todd Smith clothing line during New York's fashion week in February.
