Since we can’t celebrate peace or prosperity while we’re at war and our economy is in the dumps, we’re ringing in the new year with the next best thing: celebrity bikini pics! Our gallery is ordered from one to 100, with one being the hottest. We tried sticking mostly to candid photos, but bent the rules a few times — especially for Miranda Kerr (her Victoria’s Secret shots are just too hot!).
Prior to Tila Tequila announcing her engagement, Tila and “fiance” Casey Johnson walked the red carpet at the Famous Stars and Straps 10th Anniversary and Snoop Dogg’s 10th Album Event and had a little slip of the nip. That’s right - Tila’s areolas just popped out of her top and posed for the cameras too. Although Tila’s nipples made their red carpet debut, she’s not the fist celebrity to have a little booby wardrobe malfunction. Check out our gallery of other celebrity nipple slips!

Riri, dressed as a tiger, reportedly stayed with her pals, including singer Ne-Yo, in a booth and wouldn’t cross the dance floor to pay her respects. Meanwhile, Mariah stayed in her VIP area with hubby Nick Cannon, and when she had to use the ladies room, security had to clear a path so no one would damage her giant angel wings. According to Mariah’s rep, however, the whole story is fabricated. “There were 1,000 people there and, of course, she needed security. She heard a rumor that Rihanna was there but she never saw her. She loves Rihanna and of course would have said hello.” So what do you think? All made up or do these divas have real beef with each other? [Source: New York Post; Photo: Getty Images]
Mariah Carey and hubby Nick Cannon showed up to her Halloween party in NYC looking heavenly and happy in all white. On the opposite coast, Paris Hilton and boyfriend Doug Reinhardt partied at Heidi Klum’s annual fete in less recognizable white ensembles. It appears that Doug set aside his dignity to don a tutu as the Tooth Fairy, while Paris is maybe an angelic cha-cha dancer? We’re not sure. Which kooky couple looked better?
According to the FFC, nipples on broadcast television do not get a pass. In fact, they consider even the faintest sliver of exposed areola to be a highly offensive and punishable crime (CBS was fined half a million dollars for Janet’s nanosecond nipple slip). Thankfully, we’re on the internet - a world chock full of nipples and totally free of the FCC that would banish them forever!
For your viewing pleasure, here are 40 photos featuring accidental nip slips and lots of very revealing and very sheer tops. Either these ladies didn’t look in a mirror before leaving the house or they are just full-on liberated. While this is the internet and we did just shrug off the puritanical FCC, we do have a single shred of dignity left (plus - you know - we don’t want to be a porn site). So the nippleage in these photos will be covered in tasteful foliage.
Say what you will about Mariah Carey’s stage moves, but she sure knows how to make a glamorous appearance. Carey arrived in Japan today, bracketed by bodyguards and cloaked in a long leather jacket and sunglasses. After receiving flowers and gifts from fans, Carey entertained paparazzi by showing off the banging red dress she just happened to have underneath her protective armor. And that’s how you leave an airport.
Note to singers: do not perform on TV immediately after days of “doing publicity.” Judging from recent morning-show performances from Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey, you’re just asking for trouble. While Carey’s concert in Rockefeller Plaza for Today this morning wasn’t as hard on the ears as Houston’s Central Park debacle, her strained revisiting of 1991’s “Make It Happen” made painfully clear how much of her voice she’s lost over the last decade or so. Not that the fans or hubby Nick Cannon, waiting in the wings for another PDA, seemed to mind.
According to whispers in the New York Post, Carey’s voice may have been the victim of late night partying. Arriving at a New York restaurant at 1:30am recently, “she tripped twice and had to grab hold of one of her guards so she wouldn’t fall. She ordered a bottle of champagne but she could barely speak.” An affliction another source credited to—you guessed it—”18 hours of press.” And who knows how many “interviews” she had since then.
But more embarrassing than anything that went into her blinged-out microphone was some clumsy choreography during “Obsessed” in which she was lifted up and down by her back-up dancers. Once we get, but three times in a row? Why not just bounce her off a parachute? Check out the silliness after the jump.
Uh oh - Eminem is fighting back against Mariah Carey’s recent beef-filled video for her single “Obsession” with a new track dissing the diva, and while it’s a bit harsh, it’s sure to remind us all that the dude’s still got talent. One point for Slim Shady! In “The Warning,” Em declares, “now I’m pissed off” and raps, “I got the exact same tattoo that’s on Nick’s back, I’m obsessed now, oh gee, is that supposed to be me in the video with the goatee? Wow Mariah, didn’t expect you to go balls out. Bitch shut the f*ck up.”
And that’s just the beginning of the expletive-riddled track. Em also drops hints about sexy pictures that he has of the star and then ends the song by including never before heard clips from their “studio session” together. Listen above. Be warned, the language is seriously NSFW. Also, see pics below of Mariah mocking Eminem while shooting her video for “Obsessed.” [via DListed]
Normally we have a hard time feeling bad for Mariah Carey(she wears diamond butterfly rings - what is there to pity?) but the songbird’s apology for her weak performance atMichael Jackson’s memorial service kinda breaks our hearts. Mimi expressed remorse for the less-than-perfect performance on The Today Show, saying, “I feel a little bit like I let everybody down, but I really did try and it was difficult, ” adding, “But you know what I think? It was a true and honest emotional moment.”
She also reached out to her Twitter followers, writing on Tuesday, “Trying to sing today was basically impossible for me. I could barely keep myself from crying. I’m sorry that I wasn’t able to pull it together and really do it right, but I was literally choked up when I saw him there in front of me.”
Empathetic hubby Nick Cannon had this to say to MTV News about his wife’s weepy wailing (which we actually thought was pretty decent): “I think she was just trying to say she had a human moment and that was one of those things. It wasn’t about the entertainment. It was about just having that moment.”
Our headline may sound a little over the top, but is it really? A crowd of around 17,000 Michael Jackson fans who were packed into L.A.’s Staples Center — plus an estimated billion people watching worldwide on live television — were given the show of a lifetime today. The event is already being billed as the first worldwide memorial service. Some highlights:
We watched Michael Jackson’s casket, gold-plated and covered in red flowers, being carried into the Staples Center and placed in front of the stage. (Watch the clip above and the whole M.J. memorial at VH1.)
We listened to Queen Latifah read a touching poem by Maya Angelou.
We listened to basketball great Magic Johnson talk about the “greatest moment” of his life: Eating a bucket of Kentucky Fried Chicken with Michael Jackson. (We never knew the Gloved One was so, um, average.)
We watched Brooke Shields, who struggled to speak through tears, say that Michael Jackson was “pure, non-jaded and a lover of life.” Rumored to have dated Jackson in the 80s, Brooke described becoming friends with the King of Pop when she was 13 years old and how the two bonded over being child stars.
We listened to Smokey Robinson, who wrote several songs made famous by Michael, read condolences from both Diana Ross and Nelson Mandela.
We watched Motown founder Berry Gordy say that Michael Jackson was “the greatest entertainer that ever lived.”
We watched a heartfelt, soulful rendition of “Never Dreamed You’d Leave in Summer” by Stevie Wonder, who proclaimed that he wished he “hadn’t lived to see this day.” We watched riveting performances by Mariah Carey, Lionel Richie and Jennifer Hudson.
We also watched Usher’s performance of “Gone Too Soon” (co-written by M.J. himself) start off shaky with a gasp for air and end in tears.
We listened as the Rev. Al Sharpton addressed Michael’s kids directly, saying: “Wasn’t nothing strange about your dad, it was strange with what your daddy had to deal with.” We’re not sure about that one, but we’ll let it pass.
We watched a stage full of celebrities and children sing “We Are the World,” the song written by Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie in 1985 and used to help fight famine in Africa.
We watched Michael Jackson’s weeping little daughter, Paris, say that that “daddy has been the best father that you can ever imagine and I just want to say that I love him so much” — easily the saddest moment of the day. Ugh. (Watch Paris Jackson speak here).
And we watched Michael’s big brother, Jermaine Jackson, sing and cry at the same time, which looked like a difficult feat to us.
Then again, we shed a tear or two while blogging — and that’s not easy to do, either.
