Hayden first made it big when she starred in the hit science fiction drama Heroes, as a hot superhero cheerleader. And I have to admit, she’s just as attractive and good looking now as she was back then.

I guess all of those cheerleading roles that she played really did pay off huh? Hayden has one of the best celebrity beach bodies that I have seen in a long time.

The main reason why I am such a huge fan is probably due to the fact that she is sporting an incredibly adorable Hello Kitty bikini. It’s sweet and fun, and I think this suit fits her personality quite… [READ MORE]

The sad part of it all, is that I think that a lot of people are under the assumption that the shows are actually real, and not scripted and rehearsed. Not only that, but I never really liked the shows because I never understood them. There wasn’t a plot in sight.

First of all, you’re practically an ancient ruin, so I personally do not believe that you should even be walking on the beach in a bathing suit in the first place, let alone a Speedo. It always amazes me when fashion designers make fashion blunders.

Alrighty. So where do I start with this one? The huge fake boobs, or the horribly botched tummy tuck? Tara, Tara, Tara. What the heck were you thinking? When you starred in American Pie, you were absolutely gorgeous.

Sure, your boobs were on the smaller side but hey, at least you didn’t have to deal with the bouncing twins of terror. Those things could poke your eye out if they swung up too far.

It really is sad how a lot of women feel pressured to change themselves just because they believe that that is what men want and look for, and that is all society cares about. The truth… [READ MORE]

With the ratty old shirt, the watch, the girly bracelet, and the old tennis shoes in hand, Gere looks like a hobo. Plain and simple. He just looks all kinds of messed up in this picture. Why don’t we just start with the shirt? What I want to know is why only the bottom half is wet, while the rest of him is completely dry.

Did he have an accident and wet himself? Maybe it’s time he should start wearing Depends. If he’s having trouble controlling his bladder, then he might very well have to. Gere really does look like a hobo doesn’t he?

He has the white hair, the… [READ MORE]

His entire ensemble is perfect. Those swim shorts hug his hips and…erm…”all that comes in between” quite nicely if I do say so myself. However, I am not a huge fan of the stripes. Yeah, they look good, but I’m not exactly sure that the stripes are his style.

I would much rather see him in a solid… [READ MORE]

There are so many things wrong with this picture that I don’t even know where to begin. Why don’t we start off with the train wreck of a bikini, hmm?

Tori, love, what on earth were you thinking when you dragged that out of your closet? Don’t get me wrong, that’s an adorable swim suit…but it doesn’t look so hot on you darling.
