Kelly Brook just makes me feel good all over, like an illegal Thai massage or a dozen gin and tonics so I thought it might be nice if I shared a few shots of her in her weird futuristic costume. I know, they’re not the greatest pictures you’ve ever seen, but she’s a hottie and we all love hotties in silly little booty shorts/business shorts…. Enjoy.

Both Joan Fontaine and her big sister Olivia de Havilland are thriving well into their nineties, and even though they still don’t appear to be speaking to each other, they remain two of Hollywood’s most esteemed thespians ever.

On the occasion of Ms. Fontaine’s 94th birthday, let’s take a stroll into the Oscar winner’s filmography and find her greatest cinematic moment.
I love that fashion photographers never seem to have any problem getting supermodels to pose with their tops off, but also never seem to let us see the beautiful things. Selfish. Here’s Rosie Huntington-Whiteley showing some skin for some magazine shoot. Not the greatest semi-nude pictures I’ve ever seen, I think I see a little booty cleavage, but that’s about it. Unless you’ve got some weird naked back fetish, these shots are pretty tame. Look at those shoulder blades… Hot.
As the son of hip-hop royalty (Rev Run of Run DMC), Diggy Simmons could be a brat. He could request the world at his feet without ever having lifted a finger. He could use his father’s name to his advantage for things he doesn’t deserve. But instead he’s just a normal 16-year-old boy – one who wants a girlfriend and one who has a dream. Unlike most though, he’s making his come true as a rapper (who admirably, refuses to curse). HB got the chance to speak with Diggy about his perfect girl and perfect date, and his greatest inspiration and fear. WATCH! Check out PART II here: Diggy Simmons: The One Thing He Gets From His Dad [EXCLUSIVE VIDEO] And read our EXCLUSIVE interview with his sister here: Angela Simmons: “At This Point, I Don’t Think Anything Will Hurt”
