Before I looked at these photos of Candice Swanepoel shooting a Victoria’s Secret campaign in St. Barts over the weekend, I don’t think I ever realized how much she looks like a younger Cameron Diaz. Right? Think about Cameron Diaz in The Mask – now look at Candice. They look SO similar.

Anyway, I just like to occasionally cover some of the more traditional “ladies in bikinis” because so many of the sites run by dudes do that. We talk about dong so often around here, it’s nice to mix it up with some bikini photos of a Victoria’s Secret model. Personally, my favorite is still Doutzen Kroes and her magical butt. Still, Candice is a very pretty young woman. We discussed her in 2010 when there were some weird photos of her and it seemed like she had lost a dramatic amount of weight. In these photos… she’s still very slender, but she looks like she’s put on some muscle weight and she doesn’t look so drawn. She’s 24 years old, just FYI. And while her butt is cute, I think I still prefer Doutzen’s magic butt.

Seriously, though – how has she not dated Leonardo DiCaprio? She’s just his type!! Long legs, tall, blonde, under the age of 25, already working for Vicky’s Secret. She ticks all of his girlfriend-material boxes. But I think I know why – Candice already has a boyfriend! She’s dating a Brazilian male model named Hermann Nicoli. They live in NYC together and they have two dogs. That makes me like her more!

PS… I don’t understand jewelry accessories with swimsuits. If you’re laying out or even if you’re just in the sun for any reason, that metal is going to get HOT. Plus, it will mess up your tan lines. I don’t get it.

Here we have yet another set of photos of Bethenny Frankel, 42, posing in a bikini in Miami. The last time she invited the paps to a bikini photo op was two months ago in Australia so at least she’s mixing it up a little, even if her MO is pretty obvious. Frankel just had a divorce hearing on Friday, in which she had to face off against her soon-to-be ex, Jason Hoppy. It was some kind of financial disclosure hearing.

The last we heard from Bethenny she was proclaiming that “divorce is the most difficult thing you could go through in your life.” She didn’t qualify it or reference any recent tragedies, but to be fair all the horrible earthquakes, terrorism, and stuff blowing up had yet to happen. (Last week was terrible.) Still, it went to show what a charmed, willfully ignorant life Bethenny lives. She goes on a lot of vacations to mitigate the awful things she has to face in divorce court. Bethenny posed for three sets of swimsuit pics over the weekend. The ones you see here are from Sunday, she had on a zebra print one piece at one point during the day and then changed into a purple string bikini. She wore a green bikini the day before. (Those pics are here.) Here’s more on Bethenny’s hearing and trip:

Sunnier days are ahead. After a chilly meeting with estranged husband Jason Hoppy in a New York City courthouse, Bethenny Frankel was in need of some serious downtime. So when the face-off ended, the Skinnygirl mogul packed a suitcase and took daughter Bryn, 2, down to Miami, Fla., for a little weekend getaway.

Lounging by the pool with her little girl on Sunday, April 21, the 42-year-old talk show host showed off her slim, toned bikini body in a bright purple halter-style top and matching side-tie bottoms. She kept the sun out of her eyes with a wide-brimmed floppy straw hat and aviator sunglasses.

As Us Weekly previously reported, Frankel and her pharmaceutical sales executive ex, 41, reunited in court on Friday, April 19, to discuss financial disclosure with their attorneys. According to E! News, the couple didn’t even acknowledge each other during the meeting.

It must be nice to go to Miami for the weekend and to think the worst thing that can ever happen to someone is a divorce. How does someone reach that opinion? You would have to be seriously self centered to even pay a tiny bit of attention to the news and think that your problems, as a rich lady with incredible resources and options, are worse than everyone else’s in the world.

In terms of how Bethenny looks, I think her figure is enviable, but I know a lot of you see a bag of bones with bolt-ons. You told me so in the last post. She looks pretty hot to me. We wouldn’t be talking about her on a red carpet at some c-lister event and she knows that. That’s why she either wears things that are see-through or goes on vacation and invites the paps. Rinse and repeat.

Oh and I googled “Bethenny Frankel see through” in order to provide some evidence for that, and I found these photos of her at an event for Skinnygirl on Thursday in NY, which I then realized were emailed to us. Of course she wore a dress that revealed her wonky cleavage. Of course.

I just saw these super cute photos of Rachel Bilson frolicking on the beach in Barbados with her boyfriend of many years, Hayden Christensen, and I thought “please don’t let Hart of Dixie be over, please don’t let it be over” since I love that show and thought that this was some kind of promotion for the finale. But it’s not! There are four more episodes and I didn’t even see last night’s episode yet so there are five for me, yay! (If you like romcoms you will like Hart of Dixie, it’s dumb sometimes but it’s also campy and awesome.)

This is Rachel telling us that she’s available for work now that “Hart of Dixie” filming has wrapped (presumably) and that we should be paying attention to her. We are, and she looks super cute. I wish I had a body like that, damn. She looks thin but not emaciated and I’m surprised at how “curvy” she is, although she isn’t really curvy. I never knew what Dr. Zoe Hart was packing under those dress shorts.

This also might be Rachel, 31, announcing that she’s engaged! You know that Hayden Panettiere (there are too many Haydens in this story) recently did that, she staged some bikini photos to sort-of announce that she was engaged to Klitschko, that lucky bitch. I’m not jealous of Rachel or anything since Hayden C. is not that hot to me and he’s not a decent actor. (Gah, Star Wars.) But good for her, you know? She looks super happy and relaxed and I like that she’s not looking all haughty or posing with duck lips.

The last we heard of Rachel she was on Cosmo saying that she was a great girlfriend and she puts her man first. She said “I’m definitely the person who would make him his favorite dinner to come home to.” She also said she wanted kids and that “I definitely have family on the brain.” So is she engaged?! It’s not like she’s rocking a ring on the beach, but Hayden might have proposed on this romantic beach vacation. That’s what Wade would do, but [highlight for spoilers for past Hart of Dixie episodes] Zoe dumped that cheating bastard. She’s probably going to get with that new hot doctor dude, Jonah.

OMG look at this monkey pic!! I would be grinning like that around a little wet monkey too. That’s why she looks so thrilled.

Let me tell you the funny thing about these LeAnn Rimes photos: they are everywhere!!!! Even though I don’t really work on Saturdays, I still check in and see what photos we’re getting, and within about a six-hour time frame, every single photo agency got photos of LeAnn in a bikini. She must have called up every paparazzo she knows. Hilariously, LeAnn was tweeting about being in South Beach and she was tweeting photos of herself, and then she tweeted: “I guess I’ll go for an ocean dip at midnight cause there are at least 30 paparazzi and @kikicaldas has disowned me.” Oh, poor LeAnn! Trailed by paparazzi at every turn after she tweets her location and follows up with a photo call to each individual paparazzo!

These pics were taken in Miami, where LeAnn seems to be on vacation because of course. Didn’t her album JUST drop? Why isn’t she spending this entire month doing press and appearances in support of her album? Why did she release her album and promptly go on vacation? And is Eddie Cibrian even there? According to The Mail (which could be wrong), Eddie and the boys are not with LeAnn, and this is just a minibreak before she begins a tour schedule. Ha. We’ll see.

It’s actually been a while since we’ve had a good LeAnn-in-a-bikini photo-op. It’s been months, hasn’t it? I have to say… her body looks better these days. She’s put on some weight and her body is back to looking athletic rather than emaciated, and it’s a big improvement. While her bolt-ons still look wonky to me (they’re in her armpits!!!!), they also look better.

It’s wicked cold here in Virginia, with sleet expected today. What I wouldn’t give to be somewhere warm and tropical, with a nice gentle breeze and a cute dude bringing me a margarita. We’re spoiled here though, it’s warm most of the year and sunny so I shouldn’t complain about a little cold snap. That’s what comes to mind when I see these photos of Pink in a bikini on the beach in Miami, with her man and babeh. How nice a vacation that must be. That and the fact that I need to hit the gym. Damn she looks great.

So I googled “Pink singer exercise routine” (it was a suggested phrase since just ‘pink’ is so vague) and I found this story in Shape, by her former personal trainer, detailing how she mixes it up and works out 90 minutes a day, five days a week. Damn. That may have been pre-baby Willow, who was born in June, 2011. Then I remembered that she was on Shape Magazine just a few months ago, revealing her incredible post-baby body as well as the details on how she achieved it. At that point she was working out five days a week with celebrity trainers Jillian Michaels and Jeanette Jenkins. She also ate a “mostly vegan” diet with healthy carbs like brown rice. It really shows and she looks incredible.

As for people who are going to say she looks too muscular, yada yada, Pink doesn’t care. She’s heard all that before and she has a really healthy attitude about it. She was asked by Redbook earlier this month what makes her feel beautiful. (Kaiser covered it but I’m just mentioning it again.) She said “Well, I was always considered butch. Feeling beautiful to me is when I feel good in my leather pants and my husband grabs my ass. Or when I’m sitting on a mat and my daughter runs to me with complete joy. Beautiful has never been my goal. Joy is my goal — to feel healthy and strong and powerful and useful and engaged and intelligent and in love. It’s about joy. And there’s such joy now.” I love her! Honestly, I would love to look like her too.

Look at how tattooed Carey Hart is!

These are photos of Bethenny Frankel in a bikini on Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia today. She went alone and left her daughter back with her soon-to-be ex husband. We get the occasional paparazzi photo from Bondi Beach, usually of the much more camera-friendly Hugh Jackman making us bite our palms and stifle screams from our cubicles at work. It’s safe to assume though that Frankel called the paps here, and that she wanted to show off her lithe bikini body, which is her bread and butter if you will. I guess the idea is for us to see how great she looks and go out and buy Skinnygirl margarita mix.

Last month, when Bethenny announced that her foodie friend had lost 66 pounds following her Naturally Thin book, I looked up the reviews for her diet book on Amazon. It got mixed reviews, with one person summing it up as “Eat whatever you want as long as you don’t go over 800 calories a day, drink water, exercise as much as you can.” The gist is that Bethenny doesn’t recommend “depriving” yourself, in that you can have three little bites of anything, but you can’t have a whole cookie for instance, or a whole steak. She also recommends what another reviewer calls “neurotic, eating disordered behaviors” like pulling the bread out of half a bagel or English muffin and just eating the crusts. (Personally I would rather count calories, and anything under 1,200 a day makes me lightheaded.) So that’s how she achieved this enviable figure, and it sounds like a lot of suffering. It obviously works for her.

In terms of Bethenny’s career, she has a new talk show premiering this fall and she’s writing a book about “the struggles and compromises all single moms face.” As if, with all the money, help and fame she has, she has any idea what’s it’s like to struggle and compromise. Her “compromises” involve going to Australia instead of Italy, where paparazzi are harder to come by.

As for her personal life, in the wake of her divorce Bethenny has been staying occasionally in the upper east side home of a billionaire she claims is just a “friend.” That’s extreme luxury, not a struggle. As is a weekend jaunt down under. Must be nice.

Here are some new photos of Jessica Alba in Cabo yesterday. She has single-handedly destroyed my theory that all of the childfree celebrities went to Cabo and all of the child-full celebrities went to St. Barts. Alba is on vacay with her husband Cash and her two daughters, obviously. I feel like it’s been a while since we’ve had Alba bikini photos, but maybe that’s because I barely pay attention to her, bikini or no bikini.

I should mention – the tabloids claimed one month ago that Alba was pregnant for the first time. Alba came out immediately and denied it, and from the looks of things… yeah, she’s not knocked up again. Maybe she and Cash will try for a third, I don’t know. But she’s not knocked up right now, or so my ex-ray Preggo-Vision assumes.

Really I just wanted to talk about these pics because I’m kind of in awe of Jessica’s body. She may be dumb (true story) and a bad actress (for real), but she’s always been a pretty girl with a bangin’ body. She works hard on it too, even after two babies (which she gave birth to naturally, I believe). If you look at these pics, you realize that Alba knew the paparazzi were shooting her in her bikini, so she gave them some nice butt shots. And what an aspirational ass, right? Sigh…

Last thing: I get that girls don’t want bikini strap tan lines, but I hate bandeau bikini tops as much as I hate bangs, which is to say… A LOT. Look at how Alba is super-uncomfortable in this bandeau top – she can’t stop adjusting herself! If you’re bigger than an A-cup, you need more support than a bandeau top offers.

Here are some new photos of Jennifer Lawrence in Maui for the holiday weekend. Fame/Flynet says Jennifer “is reported to have hired a local security team to offer her 24 hour protection from guarding her hotel room door to joining her for walks on the beach with her brother on Thanksgiving Day.” Which means that I’m not completely sure if this incredible attractive shirtless guy is her bodyguard or her brother. I’m thinking it’s her brother – she actually has two older brothers, Blaine and Ben. Whoever this dude is, he is HOT. Like, he looks like a young, thin Russell Crowe. Sigh… remember when Crowe was The Sex?

If this is her brother (I’m really thinking that it is), then Jennifer has made references to him in many interviews. She once joked to Rolling Stone that her Kentucky upbringing means that sometimes “little redneck things still come out… like, I’m attracted to my brother. Stuff like that.” Girl, who wouldn’t be attracted to that? She also recently described using one of her brothers to help her with her audition for Silver Linings Playbook – you can read that story here.

Silver Linings Playbook is out on a limited release right now – it opened this weekend. I’m surprised by the overwhelming critical love for this film. I really wasn’t expecting it, quite honestly. But the critics are talking about multiple nominations for the film, including acting noms for Bradley Cooper and Jennifer, and possibly a Best Picture nomination too. Jennifer has a knack for picking good projects, doesn’t she?

Also: I know it’s annoying how she’s always talking about her body and everything, but good God, she has a GREAT figure. She looks so healthy and strong.

This is for the people who enjoyed talking about Rumer Willis in a bikini last weekend. Surprise! She’s in a bikini again. Last weekend, Rumer was in Hawaii, on vacation (from doing not much). These photos are from Rumer’s new vacation (?) in Miami. She’s with her boyfriend Jayson Blair, who is kind of cute in a wholesome, Disney-Family-Channel kind of way. Look at the way they’re super-happy to be photographed – there were literally hundreds of photos from this impromptu beach photo shoot. Famewhore much? Here’s Jayson’s IMDB – he works a lot! Mostly in television. Now that I’m looking through it… I’ve seen him in a few shows, and he wasn’t bad. He seems to play “the dumb guy” a lot.

As for Rumer’s new bikini… it’s cute. I couldn’t wear it, but it looks good on her, even better than that vintage-style bikini that I liked. This one is appropriate for her body type, which seems to be healthy, athletic and fit. Since I know some of you will mention her “cellulite” – ladies, the overwhelming majority of us have cellulite. It’s fine. Rumer has a nice figure.

Oh, I just saw this – Rumer was in Miami because she played her “first real gig” with her band. They performed at a hotel opening and Rumer might have sang “rock and jazz songs.” I truly did not know she sang. You can read more about it and see the photos here.

Here are some new photos of Rumer Willis on Waikiki Beach during a vacation in Oahu, Hawaii on Saturday. Sometimes, I actually come around on Rumer and I actually find her a sympathetic person – her mom is a whackjob and her dad is busy creating a second family with his new young wife, you know? That doesn’t mean that Rumer is a supermodel or anything (even though she gets modeling contracts!), but if she keeps her expectations low, I’m fine with her having a Hollywood career. I’m surprised she doesn’t try to do more television work, like Susan Sarandon’s daughter Eva Amurri, who is building an acting career slowly and without any “I’m a natural movie star!” pretense.

Anyway, these photos. First of all, I really like her bikini. I like these retro styles where the bottoms look like giant granny panties. I think the retro styles are flattering on certain body types, and Rumer has one of those body types. As for her body… I like it. I think she looks fit and healthy. At various points over the past few years, she seemed to lose a dramatic amount of weight, and then sometimes I could have sworn that she had implants. But in these photos, I think her boobs are real and she looks like she’s a healthy weight for her frame. Rumer’s a tall girl, isn’t she?

There are also some rumors going around that Demi Moore thinks Rumer is an alcoholic, and Demi is trying to get Rumer to curb her partying and enter rehab. A source told Star Mag that Rumer’s life “basically consists of sleeping, then going out to hang and drink in bars and clubs, where she’s happiest.” But… I would guess that Rumer could just shoot her a mother a “The drunk apple didn’t fall far from the Whip-It Mother Tree, did it?” look.
