Paparazzi Photo

It's a brawl of the Brazilian models!

Ana Beatriz Barros (31) strolled on the beach in Greece with a sexy striped bikini and wild sunglasses yesterday (left) -- while Alessandra Ambrosio (32) wore an even stripier bikini and even wilder sunglasses along side her (right).

Here's a question: if Lindsay Lohan really did cut all her toxic friends out of her life ... why was she spotted hanging out with a rehabbing hotel magnate who was busted for heroin in April?

Lindsay and pal Vikram Chatwal were photographed out in NYC Tuesday, reportedly shopping together ... you know, buddy stuff.

But here's the thing: Lindsay told friends she had permanently excised all the bad influences in her life in order to focus on sobriety and kick her substance abuse issues once and for all ... so it's a little surprising to see her hanging out with this guy.

FYI, Chatwal was busted in April after cops say he tried to get on a plane with cocaine, weed, heroin and various prescription pills. He struck a plea deal that let him avoid jail if he completed 12 months of in-patient rehab.

According to media reports, Chatwal's been to rehab AT LEAST 4 times since 2009.

We're not telling Lindsay who to be friends with ... we're just asking the question.

Normally, we wouldn't feel so guilty checking out Gwen Stefani's incredible ass during a bikini-clad boat outing in France ... but her kid was there.

So, we put a black bar over his face.

And now we feel less guilty.

Enjoy!

Mel Gibson is only hitting one thing these days ... the gym ... just check out the diesel arms he unveiled in L.A. on Friday.

Makes sense. 57-year-old Gibson is set to play the villain in next year's action flick "Expendables 3" alongside equally yoked middle-aged actors Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jason Statham, and Dolph Lundgren ... so bulking up is kind of expected.

8:02 AM PT: Law enforcement tells TMZ ... the reason cops searched the bags is because they received an anonymous tip someone in Justin's party had drugs in their luggage. Justin's bags, along with the bags of his entourage, were searched. Cops found nothing.

Justin Bieber's reputation apparently precedes him ... a drug-sniffing dog rooted through his posse's luggage at the Ft. Lauderdale International Airport.

Justin was busy posing with fans as the police pooch did his thing. As far as we can see, the dog turned up nothing and everyone made their flight ... eventually.

The Biebs was in Miami over the weekend, partying with Lil Jay Z and Lil Kevin Hart.

"Homeland" star Damian Lewis hit the beach with his family in Ibiza, Spain this week ... which inspired a couple of bad terrorist-themed jokes at the office. Here's what we came up with ...

-- Abu Nazir would be proud ... 'cause that body's tha bomb, yo!
-- Waterboard? More like water excited!
-- The Shore on Terror
-- HomeSand
-- Al-Tide-a
-- Homeland Sea-curitry
-- Seahaad
-- Code: Pale anyone?
-- Sui-tide Bomber
-- U.S. Marina Corps

We could go on, but they're only gonna get worse ...

Sure, Leo DiCaprio might look goofy on the tennis court ... but he doesn't care. Know why?

'Cause his tennis partner is Toni Garrn ... who happens to be a smokin' hot Victoria Secret model ... who Leo probably had sex with after the tennis match on Mallorca.

Advantage: Leo.

Always.

Kim Kardashian finally showed her face in public after birthing baby North West -- surfacing at an L.A. medical facility Wednesday -- and giving us a glimpse at her post pregnancy bod ... sorta.

These are the FIRST photos of Kim and Kanye West with their daughter since KK popped back in June, and everyone looks happy and healthy. Hell, even Yeezy was smiling as they walked into the doc's office ... with a nanny-assist, naturally.

No shot of North's face though ... she was fully covered in a car seat.

Mama K was all top secret too -- concealing her figure under a baggy button-down with another shirt tied around her waist and famous cheeks ... for extra coverage.

Less than two months after Paula Deen went on TV and proclaimed that "everyone should be treated equal" ... her husband Michael Groover was seen walking out of a Chick-fil-A restaurant.

While they do have great food (really great food), is Chick-fil-A REALLY the best place for Paula's hubby to grab a meal ... in the wake of the chef's "I'm not a bigot, please take me back America" campaign?

FYI -- it wasn't too long ago Paula appeared on TV and said, "I believe that every creature on this earth — every one of God's creatures — was created equal, no matter who you choose to go to bed at night with, no matter what church you go to pray. I believe that everyone should be treated equal and that's the way I was raised, and that's the way I live my life."

Just sayin' ...

Looking like an androgynous Captain Morgan with blonde hair, a lipsticked Richard Simmons stepped out in L.A. Tuesday, inexplicably wearing this borderline insane red costume.

Kinda reminds us of the Starburst little lad guy.

Bethenny Frankel knows ... when you're as tiny as she is, it's always safer to go swimming in the ocean when you're equipped with the proper flotation devices.

Safety first.

Here comes the bride ... to-be ... at least, that's the way it seemed when Hayden Panettiere arrived to LAX yesterday with a HUGE DIAMOND on her finger.

Rumors have been swirling that the "Nashville" star finally said "Yes" to her massive heavyweight boyfriend Wladimir Klitschko ... but that bling on her hand pretty much put the rumors to bed.

So ... CONGRATS!!!!

Hayden was in a great mood on her way out of the airport yesterday (as usual) -- and there was only one topic to discuss ... weddings! Though it's unclear if she was referencing her own.

Check out the clip.

Usher's son is out of the hospital and sporting a huge bandage on his arm ... after nearly drowning last week -- and the kid's already jumping back into some hardcore playing.

5-year-old Usher Raymond V was spotted with his grandma leaving an indoor play center called Mighty Jumps in Atlanta Monday -- a party space filled with moon bounces and flying children -- exactly one week after he had to be rescued when his arm got stuck in a pool drain.

Lil Ush was looking good ... and brought his baby bro along for the fun too.

Christina Aguilera and her ex-husband Jordan Bratman have called a truce -- at least temporarily -- and got together for a beach playdate with their 5-year-old son this weekend.

It's pretty commendable that the Xtina and Jordan played nice -- considering they went through a pretty nasty divorce ... with Jordan initially refusing to move out of the family home and forcing Aguilera to move into a hotel.

But this weekend, it was all smiles in Venice Beach ... where J & C came together to escort little Max to a birthday party.
