Jada Pinkett Smith flaunted her awesome 42-year-old ass on a Hawaiian beach ... in an equally awesome thong -- and all the world rejoiced.

Well, all except the prudes who think mom bods are strictly one-piece territory.

Lisa Lampanelli has pulled a Jonah Hill ... the comedian dropped more than a hundred pounds in the last year and now she's showing off her new bod.

Lisa posted the photo on Instagram today, more than a year after undergoing a sleeve gastrectomy -- a type of gastric bypass surgery. The progress is really impressive, but Lisa has insisted it's not a permanent fix. She still has to alter her eating habits to keep the weight off.

Max George's girlfriend is truly a multi-tasker ... she can PDA and pick the thong out of her ass AT THE SAME TIME!!!!

Max -- the guy from The Wanted who once banged Lindsay Lohan -- took his hot model GF Nina Agdal to a beach vacation in the Bahamas ... where they galavanted around with their ridiculously attractive tan bodies.

They spearfished ... they yachted ... they boozed -- and most importantly, they documented almost the entire thing on camera so everyone could follow their half-naked vacay.

Sharing is caring.

Akon and Martin Luther King Jr. have something in common ... they don't judge people by the color of their skin, because Akon likes all shades of Black ... women.

Akon was rolling up to Bootsy Bellows in West Hollywood ... a tad annoyed by recent stories claiming he had rejected dark-skinned girls for a music video shoot in Ghana ... preferring instead to cast light-skinned babes.

With the 41st American Music Awards just hours away, take a little walk down nostalgia street and check out all the stylish snapshots from last year's red carpet.

Sheryl Crow's look is a little bit country and a little bit rock-n-roll!

Here's the then 33-year-old "All I Wanna Do" singer at an APLA benefit back in 1995 (left) -- and 18 years later -- the now 51-year-old mother of two at a gala in New York City this year (right).

It's a battle of the brunettes!

Here's "Desperate Housewives" hottie Eva Longoria (38) smiling in a semi-sheer black dress (left) -- and "Spice Girls" singer and style icon Victoria Beckham (39) showing off her patented pout while wearing an equally black dress earlier this week (right).

Miley Cyrus took to her Instagram account yesterday and put her newly bleached eye warmers on blast ... and now that her white-hot new follicles appear completely missing we have the ability to introduce other A-lister's signature looks!

Check out some of Hollywood's most iconic brows glued on Miley's pigment free puss.

There may be a little nip in the air at the American Music Awards Sunday ... TMZ has learned Kendall Jenner will be presenting.

The gig comes on the heels of the 18-year-old's very adult Instagram photo.

We're told she'll be presenting Best Pop Rock album, and get this -- the nominees are Justin Timberlake, Taylor Swift and One Direction. As you know, Kendall was out with Harry Styles this week -- so advantage 1D.

This is Kendall's first time making a big appearance without the Kardashian brood.

Hugh Hefner's gonna be pissed ... 'cause "Zero Dark Thirty" star Jessica Chastain tells TMZ she's totally down to get naked in front of a camera ... but it will NEVER be for Playboy.

The Golden Globe winner was leaving the Brentwood Country Mart yesterday when we congratulated her on locking up the cover of Vogue -- and Jessica told us for her next shoot, she's hoping to do something a little more "risque.'"

Awesome.

So, naturally, we brought up Playboy ... but Jess shot that down hard -- saying, "I'll be naked in other magazines but not Playboy."

For the record, Chastain's not just talking the talk -- she's been naked in a couple of movies before "ZDT" ... including "Lawless" and "Jolene" ... the latter of which happens to be available on Netflix.

Chazz Palminteri's also in "Jolene" ... but don't worry -- he's totally clothed.

Rapper Waka Flocka Flame is publicly apologizing to Oprah Winfrey -- saying he's sorry for calling her an "ugly b*tch" and for saying he wouldn't f**k her.

Waka is referring to an old video that recently surfaced in which one of Waka's friends quips that Oprah has a "million dollar p*ssy" -- which Waka replied, “I won’t f**k that ugly b*tch!”

Now, Waka tells TMZ he feels terrible about the situation -- saying, "I feel obligated to take responsibility for my actions and publicly apologize to Oprah."

"My remarks about you were both extremely unnecessary and disrespectful. This regretful situation made me look at women and how I address them in a more responsible way."

Waka says his mother was "disgusted" when she saw the footage -- and it made him realize how hurtful his words can be.

"Teen Mom" star Amber Portwood is no longer a prisoner to fashion... especially prison fashions ... and TMZ has learned she's embracing her freedom by creating a whole new glam look for herself.

After serving 17 months behind bars ... Portwood has freed herself from her harsh, mugshot makeup ... and is now showing off a post-prison makeover that gives her a softer, more sophisticated look.

Sources close to Amber tell us ... she's treated herself to a whole new set of clothes ... and a stylish new haircut.

But the biggest change ... they say ... she no longer uses homemade, prison-style hairspray (which is often made from Jolly Rancher candies because it's sticky and provides excellent hold).

So, the good news -- she looks great.
The bad news -- her hair no longer tastes like grape.

Here's the hairless 27-year-old Drake's new and improved shirtless picture that surfaced earlier today on a social media page (left) -- and an equally ripped and equally hairless 24-year-old Chris Brown showing off his permanent body art (right).

Only one of them is having anger issues in rehab.

Drizzy Drake’s been on a fitness RAMPAGE … posing for shirtless pics in a Bieber-esque frenzy ever since he started dropping lbs for his new tour … and it looks like all the work is paying off.

Drake's trainer posted this latest installment on Instagram today … and he looks jacked with a noticeable four pack … and wearing an expression that says “even I’m surprised I look this good.”

No word on what inspired the new work out regimen ... but he's definitely starting to look more like Rihanna's type.
