Thte 175 Hottest Bikini Photos Of 2012

And for you, dear readers, we could think of no better gift than 100 of the sexiest bikini photos that this year had to offer! We’ve got some of everybody, and we do mean everybody. There might even been one of you in there. We’ve got that many!

Of course this uber-gallery is presided over by Beyonce, who ruled over our 2012 Bikini Awards just like she does with the rest of the known universe. In fact, she was able to defy time and win the coveted award with pics that were (technically) from 2011. That’s the power of Queen Bey! In addition to her, our list is chock-full of other pop queens like Rihanna, Katy Perry, and Lady Gaga, and big-screen A-listers like Scarlett Johansson, Anne Hathaway and Jessica Alba. TV personalities Maria Menounos and Angela Simmons made a strong showing, too. We’ve also got shots from the usual suspects like reality star Kim Kardashian, never-shy Twitter mama Adrianne Curry and Coco, the Patron Saint of Donks.

Some of our very own VH1 stars like Mob Wives’ Drita D’Avanzo and Basketball Wives’ Evelyn Lozada put in an appearance, as did Hunger Games leading lady (and our personal favorite) Jennifer Lawrence. Professional hotties Kate Upton and Brooklyn Decker look straight out of the pages of Sports Illustrated, while Victoria’s Secret Angels Miranda Kerr, Heidi Klum and Adriana Lima are simply heavenly.

So tear off the wrapping paper and dive in to our terrific 2012 retrospective of everyone’s favorite two-piece. Happy Holidays!

4/20 Party! 25 Celebs Caught Smoking Pot

We all love a good marijuana scandal — let’s say it’s the kind of thing that proves the rich and famous are human. Naturally, rappers like Wiz Khalifa actors like James Franco are the equivalent of a super prompt delivery service for these stories. But sometimes we like the special stuff, like when a less obvious star is caught on camera like Miley Cyrus smoking salvia on her 18th birthday. And it’s a riot when celebs full-on boast of their relationship with the green stuff, like Soulja Boy did via Twitter. Were we a little surprised when Robin Thicke was busted for pot possession? Hmm, maybe just by the fact that he got caught.

Now, it’s not like we’re advocating drug use here, folks. We’re just going to celebrate 4/20 the best way we know how, by looking at all our favorite famous people, including Kristen Stewart , Rihanna and Rupert Grint with the infamous Ms. Mary Jane.

Everyone knows that the first few days after the holidays can be a real bummer. But these sexy celebs chased away the post-holiday blues by heading to Miami Beach.

Katy Perry, Kimora Lee And Others Celebrate Holidays In The Sun

There are lots of times when we can ignore the fact that celebrities live better lives than us (like, this morning, when we read about Sinead O’Connor’s miserable love life, for instance). There are even times when we try to imagine that their lives are JUST LIKE our own (say, on Saturday when Paris, Prince and Blanket Jackson were on my JetBlue flight from the Bahamas to Orlando!!!). But then we get to work and browse through photos like the ones above and below, and realize we a) don’t have friends with yachts, and b) don’t have round-the-clock personal trainers and chefs to make us look amazing during the two months of the year when it’s impossible not to stuff your face daily. Anyway, at least we all get enjoy getting to look at pretty pictures. Democracy in action. Check out these pics of Katy Perry, Kimora Lee and Djimon Hounsou, Russell Simmons and Melissa George, Stephanie Seymour, Jon Bon Jovi, Serena Williams, Coco and Mischa Barton enjoying their Christmas weekend on the beach. And don’t miss our gallery of the 100 hottest celebrity bikini pics of 2011.

Tyler Shields Gets Some Meaty Shots Of Mischa Barton

Considering she had totally dropped off our radars, we were surprised to see Mischa Barton pop up on Tyler Shield‘s site. The photographer has taken some — ahem — interesting photos of the actress getting up close and personal with a slab of meat. He’s known for taking risque shots, but we thought he would chill after taking those controversial pictures of Heather Morris with a black eye, after getting some pretty vicious feedback.

The story is that Tyler decided to go ahead and photograph Mischa because of consistent pressure from her fans! He wrote, “So one day out of the blue I start getting emails with the subject ‘Mischa Barton’ Upon opening the emails I realize they are from her fan club in Brazil they were asking me to shoot her the emails didn’t stop for almost 2 weeks…” Tyler seems to believe in stream of consciousness writing, and to hell with full stops, but you get the idea. We’d love to know what you think of the photographs. Send us your comments!

Mischa Barton Is Crawling With Style, Rainbow-Colored Insects

Oh god, Mischa Barton! Your shirt! It’s cover in a swam of horrible….oh, sorry, that’s just the actual print. Looks like Mischa was trying to rock out with her cock(roach) out while leaving Mahiki Night Club last night in London. We can’t say we really love the look of bugs crawling all over a button-up blouse; it reminds us too much of that one kid from our study hall in high school. You remember the one. That girl also would have rocked something similar to Mischa Barton’s red glasses, which makes both of them prime candidates to stare in the inevitable Where’s Waldon’t you comb your hair, woman?

Mischa Barton Sees Red

Mischa Mischa Mischa. You were once so young and full of potential, what with your wallet packed with OC money and your acting career on the verge of blowing up. Then you went and….did you, and now you’re that washed up starlet who shows up in Cannes for no reason and makes all the real actors feel uncomfortable and seeks attention by wearing the world’s fugliest glasses to the airport. Bravo!

Yes, here is Mischa Barton ruining an otherwise okay outfit with some stupid fashionista shades. Enjoy at your own risk.

Will PETA Please Report To Mischa Barton’s Head

mischa_main

Oh no! Mischa Barton forgot to wear a hat to the Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic! How embarrassing. Luckily she was able to find something on the side of the road to stick on her head. Unfortunately, it doesn’t appear to be dead. Oh my gosh, get it off, get it off, get it off! Somebody help her!

Okay, Mischa might not have a real live bird on her head. But can you blame us for thinking so? Her dark-feathered headpiece is an eyesore on what’s an otherwise fabulous flapper throwback. When a bird appears to be taking flight on your scalp, it tends to distract the eye no matter what you’re wearing. Next time she should just leave that hat in its cage.
