Kim Kardashian can add another magazine cover to her collection -- she's the star of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue.

The S.I. Swim crew made the announcement Monday morning -- Kim, Ciara, Maye Musk and music artist Yumi Nu will grace the cover for 2022.

41-year-old Kim wore her own SKIMS brand for the cover (shot by Greg Swales in the Dominican Republic) ... going with a nude-colored suit with matching arm-length gloves.

Kim's whole shoot looks futuristic -- one of her 'fits includes wearing a black Balenciaga bikini with leather pants as she sits on a motorcycle.

KK joins a long list of icons who have landed the S.I. cover -- including Beyoncé, Kate Upton, Heidi Klum, Cheryl Tiegs and Tyra Banks.

The 2022 issue also features Katrina Scott, who is the first visibly pregnant model to be featured ... as well as a number of sports WAGs -- Jared Goff's GF, Christen Harper, Kevin Love's fiancée, Kate Bock and Rob Gronkowski's GF, Camille Kostek.

WNBA players Sue Bird, Breanna Stewart, Te’a Cooper, Nneka Ogwumike and DiDi Richards are also in the magazine.

Jessica Simpson had a 2-step diet plan -- lose the weight, and then show it off, and she has now done both in pretty spectacular form.

Jessica was leaving her office in L.A. Thursday and she had heads turning for several reasons. She looks pretty incredible and was wearing precisely what best shows off the results of a pretty intense regime.

The other thing that's striking ... JS is channeling Farrah Fawcett with her long, flowing locks. It's a look that propelled Farrah into legendary status, and it's not doing bad for Jessica.

Simpson's been showing off the results of dropping 100 lbs for the 3rd time. She posted pics recently of her Cabo vacay ... posing for the camera in a 2-piece. She was there with hubby Eric Johnson and their 3 kids, 9-year-old Maxwell, 8-year-old Ace and 3-year-old Birdie Mae.

LeBron James appears to be sending a message to his haters who think he isn't working hard this offseason ... by posting videos of him hitting the gym shirtless at 5 AM!

James threw up the clips on his Instagram on Wednesday morning ... showing that despite being on a few vacays the last several weeks, the Akron native is still getting after it, and is still completely jacked.

James captioned one of the videos at 5 AM by writing, "The perfect place to pull up on to relieve so stress! Time to work."

He then showed off his chiseled shoulders, chest and abs while getting in some kettlebell and cable work.

Of course, the timing of the posts is interesting ... LBJ's been under a lot of scrutiny lately from fans who believe he's been enjoying his offseason just a little too much after the Lakers' disappointing season.

Bron's been spotted vacationing in the Maldives with his wife, Savannah, as well as in Miami ... where he partied his face off for the F1's Grand Prix event.

So, were these vids a clap back at the haters?!?

F1 driver Valtteri Bottas was one with nature during his trip to Aspen, Colorado ... getting buck nekkid and laying out in a creek!!

The Alfa Romeo star took a trip to the Centennial State after finishing 7th at the Miami Grand Prix over the weekend ... and didn't shy away from showing off his posterior on Instagram.

Now, it's not a new sight for fans of Netflix's "Drive to Survive" -- the Finnish driver takes it ALL off while sitting in the sauna during the show ... so really, this is just another day for Bottas' backers.

F1 drivers have a bit of downtime before taking the track in Barcelona ... so it's nice to see VB checking out the States a bit.

Kylie Jenner has snapped back 3 months after giving birth to the little boy whose name still remains a mystery ... and she looks pretty spectacular.

Kylie, who's on vacay in Turks and Caicos with Travis Scott and their 2 kids, was out in a bikini, catching rays in the beautiful blue sea.

She recently said she dropped 40 lbs after putting on 60 during her second pregnancy ... crediting Pilates cardio workouts.

She and Travis had their second kid on February 2. They named him Wolf at birth, but decided the name didn't fit and 86'd it. They haven't said what name they've chosen in its place.

Travis is set to perform Saturday night in Miami at a Formula 1 Grand Prix event, easing back into taking the stage since the Astroworld tragedy last November.

Jason Momoa is itching to play the villain in "Fast & Furious 10" ... practicing stunts on a chopper and showing off some serious muscle in the process.

Jason jumped on a hog that was attached to a camera and rode up a set of stairs in Rome. When he got to the top he strolled back down, removing his jacket ... revealing a tank top partially covering the endless muscle.

Jason's the newest addition to the 'F&F' franchise. It's a good time to be part of the franchise because the 9th installment last year did super well ... raking in $721 million worldwide.

The franchise has an insane list of stars, including Vin Diesel, Charlize Theron, John Cena and Idris Elba.

Conor McGregor took some time out of his Tuesday to gush over his fiancee ... showering her with compliments and calling her "my big busty woman!"

The Notorious left the sweet message on Dee Devlin's most recent social media post ... one that showed the couple cheesin' in bathing suits while on a boat in France.

"My big busty woman I love you baby what floor we on again ?" McGregor wrote. "And which yacht 😂😂😂"

The fighter added, "ah stop don't stop my baby I love you so much dee I do all of this for you, for us, I hate everyone else, I love you ❤️ #forever"

McGregor and Devlin have been dating for years and have three kids together ... and are clearly still very much in love. Dee actually captioned her photos Tuesday by writing, "mine," with a heart emoji.

The two have plenty of time to spend together these days ... because while Conor is gunning to make a comeback to the UFC eventually -- he's still rehabbing his injured leg and slowly working his way back to octagon shape.

The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue is continuing to break new ground -- this time, Katrina Scott will be the first visibly pregnant woman to ever grace the pages of the special magazine ... and the pictures are breathtaking!!

The outlet shared the groundbreaking news on Tuesday ... saying the 2021 Rookie of the Year is the first to show off a baby bump in the swim issue.

The fitness trainer spoke about the milestone ... saying, "As women, we have been told, shown, and expected to hide (then 'bounce back' from) our pregnant bodies, when, in fact, our beautiful bumps embody the miracle of what it means to be Selfless, Vulnerable, and Strong."

38-year-old Scott is expecting her second child with her husband, Brian ... and has been open about her journey with IVF.

"In this issue, I hope to represent all the women out there that are creating life, feeling all the feels, and embracing change as they look to the future, especially those having difficult fertility journeys. I am with you, and you are never alone."

She added ... "Our bodies and minds are capable of extraordinary things, and as for me, I'm all about gracefully bouncing forward."

S.I. has put a focus on inclusion in recent swim issues ... like putting Leyna Bloom, a transgender model, on the cover.

Didn't get a good look at Tom Brady's bod in his last thirst trap social media post? Good news -- here's another one!!!

TB12 showed off his bare arms in a flexing pic from the set of his new "80 For Brady" movie on Monday -- and, the dude is clearly still looking great at 44 years old.

The future Hall of Famer posted the pic to his IG ... captioning the photo, "The exact moment Tom Brady 'went Hollywoood' on the 80 For Brady set."

Tom shouted out Dwayne Johnson in the post -- joking that his arms looked so jacked, he could be The Rock's stunt double!!

"I'm free until August if you need help with any stunts in the meantime," Brady said with a crying emoji.

Tom's all smiles -- but his body is seriously no joke ... this is the second time he's posted himself showing a lot of skin in the last month, and his frame is looking as good as ever.

Kylie Jenner has been something of an open book about her post-pregnancy the second time around, revealing her mental struggles and now her weight.

Kylie says she gained 60 lbs during her recent pregnancy and is not going crazy to lose the weight. She says she's taking her time and has already dropped 40 lbs.

As for how she's doing it ... walking and pilates seem to be doing the trick.

Kylie posted, "Gained 60lbs again this pregnancy." She's essentially saying that's what she gained the first time around with Stormi, but in 2018 she had posted she gained 40 lbs, so the "again" comment is a bit confusing.

Kylie has said she struggled hard with postpartum since the February birth, both mentally and physically ... "I just want to say to my postpartum moms that postpartum has not been easy. It's not been easy, it's very hard, This experience for me, personally, has been a little harder than with my daughter."

She went on ... "It's not easy mentally, physically, spiritually ... it's just crazy. I didn't want to just get back to life without saying that because I think we can look on the Internet and for other moms going through it right now, we can go on the Internet and it might look a lot easier for other people and, like, the pressure on us, but it hasn't been easy for me."

She's now back on the treadmill and seems at least on the surface to be in a better headspace, but she's making it clear ... it's been tough.

The month of April was consumed with some bloomin' hot shots making your Insta scrolling truly blissful ... and as things are heating up heading into summer ... celebrities were bringing the heat and sharing some warmhearted snaps from under the sun.

Stars like Janelle Monae, Kim Kardashian and Nicki Minaj -- and countless other celebs -- were breezin' on by with their sun-kissed body shots. Dua Lipa, Camilla Cabello and Meg Thee Stallion were also outdoors livin' it up ... just enjoying an April day before heading into May!

Maybe LeBron James is cool with the Lakers missing the playoffs after all -- the King just took his closest friends on a jaw-dropping getaway to the Maldives ... and the vacation looked insane.

Okay, let's be real -- the 4-time champ definitely wishes he was making another run at an NBA title right now ... but hitting up a private island instead definitely doesn't suck.

Bron posted a ton of footage from the trip ... which included bike rides, soaking in the beach waters, riding on boats and enjoying all the food and drink the group could handle.

The group included James' wife, Savannah, longtime trusted friend Ernie Ramos and his wife, Klutch Sports COO Fara Leff, DJ Bamboozle and more.

It was a trip that most people can only dream of ... and we're assuming the whole thing cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.

It's always important to take care of our home planet ... not just during Earth Week ... by going green, conserving water, and trying to reduce our carbon footprint, so we whipped up some stars in green swimsuits to raise your awareness.

Yes, California is a green state, so most celebs put their best (green) thumb forward, and for celebs like Kylie and Kendall Jenner, Hailey Bieber and Ariana Grande ... well you can always count on them for repping their itsy bitsy teenie weenie green bikinis.

That's a wrap on the first weekend of the Coachella Music and Arts Festival ... and the celebs squeezed every last drop of day 3 with some wild shows, crazy looks and plenty of chill time by the pool.

Super model Shanina Shaik, rapper Quavo, Chloe Bailey and a bunch more stars soaked in the last day in Indio while musicians like Run The Jewels, Jamie XX, Doja Cat and The Weeknd with Swedish House Mafia closed out the Easter Sunday night.

A few stars took it slow on the last day by resting poolside and easing into the closing night ... Olivia Jade got a little R&R in a tiny black bikini and super model Allesandra Ambrosio floated into the day on butterfly pool floatie.

Justin Bieber hit the Coachella stage partially clothed for his surprise performance on Day 1.

JB came out shirtless as he performed "Peaches" with Daniel Caesar ... just as TMZ told you Friday! The crowd loved it. JB flew in from Miami where he had performed as part of his world tour.

Daniel and Justin regaled the music festival crowd with a rendition of their song "Peaches," which was included on Justin's album "Justice" last year.

Harry Styles headlined the night and brought out a legend -- Shania Twain! Harry, who has busted open stereotypes, sang Shania's biggest hit -- "Man! I Feel Like a Woman." The crowd ate it up! The venue lit up with fireworks as Harry performed his set.

Turns out Harry's a big fan of Twain ... he told the audience he recalled his mother driving him around with Shania blaring out of the radio. He said "Shania Twain taught me to sing," adding in a moment of self-loathing, "She also taught me that men are trash."

Big Sean was a big hit, as were YG and Jhene Aiko ... in case you didn't know, Sean and Aiko are BF/GF.

There was also a moving tribute to Ukraine by Arcade Fire. Frontman Win Butler said, "I want to dedicate this to everyone in the Ukraine. Everyone in a punk rock band in the Ukraine right now. I'm thinking about everybody who is dealing with the war right now." Then they performed "The Suburbs" to honor Ukrainian citizens.

Someone in the crowd had a medical emergency. He was taken out on a stretcher. We don't know his status. As it happened, the band stopped performing ... obviously a call-back to the Astroworld tragedy, where 10 people died in a stampede and crowd crush.

Lil Baby also performed, and ended his set with "The Bigger Picture" ... a song he dropped just days after George Floyd's murder. Lil Baby brought Gunna out during his set.

And, there was more ... hip-hop duo City Girls hit the stripper pole and twerked with perfection!

Phoebe Bridgers brought out her friend Arlo Parks  -- the first time for both musicians to perform on the Coachella stage.

The duo performed a rendition of Bridgers' "Graceland Too."

Snoop and Anitta also hit the main stage.

As for Snoop, well he was true to form, smokin' a joint while he performed with Anitta as he danced around the stage. Again, a huge crowd fav.

Word at the venue ... Day 1 was a blast.

Coachella -- Day 1 -- it's a big deal since this is the reset after the pandemic, and one thing was clear ... celebs weren't scared to bring back the fun.

Chanel Iman, Michael Foge, Amanda Stanton and Storm Reid were among the celebs who descended on the Empire Polo Fields outside Palm Springs, to take in the sun, party with intent and stand elbow-to-elbow to watch Harry Styles, Justin Bieber and co.

There were performances by Carly Rae Jepsen, Snoop, Lil Baby, Arcade Fire ... and others who popped up on stage.

Coachella is only partly about music ... the weather was perfect, and Shanina Shaik, Alessandra Ambrosio, Josephine Skriver and others hit the pool. Kendall Jenner made it partly business by hawking her 818 Tequila at a bash she hosted.
