sexiest woman maxim

In a photo that was totally not staged, Bethenny Frankel totally did not make thousands of dollars for splashing through the water in a bikini earlier this month in Montauk, New York.

According to Life & Style, it was the first time this reality star donned a bathing suit since giving birth in May and "she looked amazing," said a witness, adding:

"She looked like she'd lost all the baby weight, and she was toned, too. Even her tush was remarkable."

That sound you hear? Jason Hoppy totally slapping that impressive backside. Oohhh yeah!
Frankel says she's lost 33 pounds since squeezing out daughter Bryn this spring. How did she do it?

"There's been no real drastic any thing. I've really been eating, just not like a crazy person," she said, offering up this unhealthy piece of advice: "Taste everything, eat nothing."

We guess that's better than Kim Kardashian and her QuickTrim-based motto for dieting: Eat everything. Crap it all out.

Is it possible for a beauty pageant to be too sexy?

That's the question directed at Miss Universe these days, as the organization has posed most of its 2010 contestants in almost nothing but body paint for a new set of promotional images.

Miss USA, Rima Fakih, and Miss Trinidad and Tobago, LaToya Woods, show off
"It's alarming that this has been turned into a Playboy-esque masquerade," Angie Meyer, a former pageant employee, told Fox News. "By implementing topless photos as part of the pageant process, they're putting applicants in an extremely compromising position."

As opposed to the bathing suit and evening gown segments of the event, which place contestants in uncompromising positions and are not based on appearances?

Responded Lark-Marie Anton, vice president of marketing and public relations for the organization, to the charges of inappropriateness:

"The contestants who compete at Miss Universe are diverse, as they represent more than 82 countries around the globe. Many of their cultures embrace nudity... We feel the images captured are fashionable and cutting edge!"

Mike Comrie and Hilary Duff have made it official.

The singer-actress and NHL hockey player were married Saturday during an intimate ceremony in Santa Barbara, Calif., according to reports. Congratulations!

Hilary, in a mermaid gown by Vera Wang, swapped vows with Mike in front of a sunset and 100 of their closest family and friends. She was escorted down the aisle by her mother Susan Duff, while sister Haylie Duff was maid of honor.

The couple, who began dating in 2007, first met on a trip when they both were visiting a resort in Idaho. "We were all on the same plane and it was kind of, I guess, maybe a bit of a fluke. She calls it ironic. No I'm kidding!" Comrie said.
"It [was] one of those things where we were all in a group … we spent the weekend all hanging out." One thing led to another, and the rest is history.

Comrie proposed to Hilary Duff during a Hawaiian getaway in February – a move that came as a very pleasant surprise to both the Texan and her family.

"I've never met anyone who can say a bad word about him," Duff gushed in March 2009. "He's generous, caring and sunny. We just laugh our heads off."

Another day, another offensive Gibson rant ... this time not by Mel, though!

Mel Gibson’s controversial father, Hutton Gibson, told Liberty News Radio that "half the Vatican" is gay and that Pope Benedict XVI is a homosexual too.

Asked by Radar Online to confirm those remarks, the elder Gibson, 91, did so and then some, saying: “That is correct – I stand by my statements."

“The Vatican is full of all these child molesters, that is all there is to it.”

Hutton Gibson shocked listeners on the Political Cesspool Radio Program with his take on why the Catholic Church has failed to tackle homosexuality.

He calls Pope Benedict was “a homosexual” and “a slippery character” involved in a Masonic conspiracy out to destroy the Catholic Church from within.
Mel Gibson’s father attends his alternative Catholic Church in Malibu and has so far not spoken about the actor’s alleged abuse of Oksana Grigorieva.

This is a rant that gives Mel a run for his money, though.

The outspoken critic of the Catholic Church questioned in a 2003 interview how Nazis had disposed of six million bodies during the Holocaust, and claimed that the September 11, 2001, attacks were perpetrated by remote control.

Now, Hutton Gibson claims the Catholic Church isn’t fighting the repeal of Proposition 8 “because half of the people there in the Vatican are queer."

"They have not handled the horrible situation in the church. In fact they have fostered it because as I say they are trying to destroy the church.”

Asked if he thinks the Pope is gay, Hutton replied, “I certainly do. Why else would he put up with this? He was in charge of stamping it out."

Forget the musical accolades and multiple acting appearances for a moment.

Justin Bieber is more than a mere entertainer.

The 16-year old attended the New Look Foundation’s First Annual World Leadership Awards in Atlanta Friday night. This event brought together heads of state, philanthropists, and celebrities, as eight individuals were honored for their commitment to supporting and solving numerous pressing issues.

And Justin was among the honorees! He received the Global Youth Leader Award, gave a speech on stage and also posed with beautiful singer Ciara. Not a shabby night all around.

The upcoming Britney Spears Glee tribute episode may have been the pop star’s management's own idea, but the singer herself will not be appearing in it.

“Britney’s not in it,” Jane Lynch told reporters today at her wax figure unveiling at Madame Tussaud’s in Hollywood, Calif. “It’s a tribute to her music.”

Even though Spears herself will be absent from the episode, Lynch promises that tales from entertainer’s real life will be tied into the show’s storyline.

One of our all-time favorite tales, in fact.

“It’s kind of [about] how Matt [Morrison]‘s character Mr. Schuster doesn’t see any value in her and the kids really do,” she says. “And at the end [of the episode], he comes around and he likes [her music] so much, he shaves his head.”

Who would have guessed Britney shaving her head would one day inspire an episode of a Fox comedy about a glee club. You can't make this stuff up.

On the subjects of Spears and Glee, her ex Justin Timberlake has been rumored to appear on the series also ... and also isn't likely to actually do so.

“I love him,” the show’s co-creator Ryan Murphy, who also wrote the screenplay for Eat, Pray, Love, told reporters last week at TCA. “But I think somebody just said, ‘Do you want him?’ And I think Lea [Michele] said, ‘He’s my favorite.’"

"Suddenly, he was on the show.”

Too bad he won't be in person ... but there's always room for some *NSync adaptions, are we right? Actually no, let's say bye, bye bye to that idea.

Adorable Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows actress Emma Watson made headlines today with her new, short haircut, announced via her Twitter account.

“Dear all,” the 20-year-old British actress wrote. “Cut my hair off a few days ago ... It feels incredible. I love it. I’ve wanted to do this for years and years."

"It’s the most liberating thing ever. Hope you like. Big love from Emma x.”

Liberating it may be, but does it look good? You tell us. Do you like Emma's new hairstyle? We think it's kinda cute, but it's a drastic shift from the norm.

In early 2009, Eddie Cibrian carried on an affair with LeAnn Rimes that was outed by celebrity gossip tabloids and ultimately ended his marriage to Brandi Glanville.

He's now divorced her and moved on (and in) with LeAnn ... who he's reportedly cheating on. With Brandi Glanville! What is this, the plot of It's Complicated?

Star reports that Glanville, who even said last month that Cibrian will always be a cheater, apparently was speaking with first-hand knowledge of the situation.

Alleging "passionate all-night sex sessions with Brandi," whom he’s in the process of divorcing after eight years of marriage, Star makes some serious claims.

We'd call BS right now, but Brandi herself is quoted confirming it!
"LeAnn is getting a bitter taste of her own medicine," a friend of Brandi Glanville tells the mag. "Eddie will keep cheating, because that’s just what he does.”

Apparently.

Eddie and Brandi’s hot hookups, snarky comments made about LeAnn, and Eddie's continued pursuit of the mother of his children are described in detail.

Cibrian denies this - as he did with the Rimes affair initially, BTW. On the flip side, Glanville pulled a Carrie Underwood, so she's a loose cannon as well.

Today Eddie Tweeted this: "Once again my ex has stooped to a new low by attempting to sabotage my beautiful relationship with LeAnn. Not surprisingly the only magazine that decided to run the story shares the same credibility and delusion as my ex."

Ouch! That one stings ... but you have to wonder with this guy.
