Beauty

For once, Nicki Minaj left all her ridiculous Lady Gaga wannabe costumes (minus one lime green wig) at home and stripped down to flaunt her curves in a simple pink bikini on the set of her latest video in Hawaii on Wednesday.

After that horrendous Grammy performance last month, the 29-year-old finally proved she has some natural God-given talents.

Kate Middleton's 21-year-old cousin Katrina Darling flaunted her royal lineage -- and everything else -- during her racy nearly-naked stage show in NYC last night.

Darling, who is the Duchess of Cambridge's second cousin once removed and has never met Kate, is a burlesque dancer and brought her erotic dance act to the U.S. this week.

With her unborn baby girl due next month, a very pregnant Rachel Uchitel and her hubby Matt Hahn walked the streets of San Francisco on Tuesday.

Kim Kardashian is now the poster child for plastic surgery in Mexico ... and to that she says, Estoy enojada y voy a demandar [I'm pissed and I'm suing].

Dr. Victor Ramirez had Kim's pic plastered on a billboard in Mexicali -- a stones throw from the California border -- touting, "no arriesgue su belleza, ni su salud" [Don't risk your beauty or your health].

Problem is ... el buen doctor never got Kim's permission, and we've learned she's unleashed her lawyers who are now trying to figure out how to threaten Mexican style -- without getting beheaded, of course.

We spoke with Doctor Ramirez and asked if he got Kim's permission ... to which he initially said, "Que?" And then he went on, "Obviously I did not speak to Kim Kardashian. I do not have her number."

We told the doc that in America you can't use someone's picture without permission. The doc said he would get the police involved, and then he hung up.

Katniss Everdeen aka Jennifer Lawrence, 21, and Miley Cyrus, 19, -- the girlfriend of Jen's "Hunger Games" co-star Liam Hemsworth -- both struck a pose at the film's premiere in L.A. on Monday.

Question is ...

Should you ever forget Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker is ALSO a member of the Transplants, just take a look at his head -- because TB just finished tattooing their logo onto his melon.

Barker recently put the final touches on his head piece ... work that was done by one of the more famous tattoo artists around, Mister Cartoon.

Travis clearly feels pretty committed to the punk rock/rap group these days ... even though it's really just a side project for all its members ... and word is they have a new album coming out soon.

Proving that her performance on "SNL" isn't the only thing that's flat, lippy singer Lana Del Rey flashed her taut belly in a Frank Sinatra half-shirt as she left the Guns N' Roses show in L.A. this weekend.

With her roots showing, a cockeyed facial expression, unflattering baggy men's jeans and a pair of construction boots, Rihanna's braless and see-through mesh top put on quite the R-rated show as she made her way to Da Silvano in the West Village this weekend.

Flaunt 'em if you got 'em.

Vanessa Williams has got the right stuff.

Here's the 26-year-old back in 1989 (left) -- and 23 years later, the 49-year-old at an event in L.A. (right).

Despite being being forced to relinquish her title, she'll always be Miss America.

Even when not filming the new "Star Trek" movie Zachary Quinto is always in Dr. Spock mode ... thanks to his shaved eyebrows.

The 35-year-old showed off his unfortunate Vulcan look while leaving a cafe in L.A. on Thursday.

People go to Madame Tussauds wax museums to see replicas of their favorite stars like Michael Jackson, Marilyn Monroe, Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber and ... Anne Frank?

Visitors to the exhibit should note, the museum also features an Adolf Hitler waxwork.

With an ironic t-shirt nowhere to be found, Shia LaBeouf proved he hasn't lost his hipster cred -- despite all those "Transformers" movies -- by rocking a grizzly beard in L.A. on Thursday.

Being almost unrecognizable is so cool.

With her dress all bunched up in a wad and her hair as disheveled as can be, Oscar winner Goldie Hawn needed assistance getting into her car after leaving a party in London on Wednesday.

The ageless 66-year-old grandmother was out until 4AM celebrating the launch of her children's charity, The Hawn Foundation.

We all need a helping hand sometimes.

Despite blasting "diet meals" in the Bowflex commercial, fitness model TJ Hoban tells TMZ -- he got his shredded abs nearly ENTIRELY by eating well ... not from using the Bowflex machine. Shocker.

According to TJ -- who proved his abs were 100% legit last night in Hollywood by lifting up his shirt -- the real secret behind a chiseled stomach isn't busting your ass on some trendy machine ... "It's all about diet man."

It's pretty crazy ... considering TJ squarely bashes diet plans in the Bowflex commercial -- claiming, "no diet plan" can build muscle and burn fat like the Bowflex machine.

We called Bowflex for comment -- no word back yet.

Here's Sandra Fluke -- the chick Rush Limbaugh called a "slut" for arguing contraception should be covered by private insurance -- at JFK this week (left) -- and former actress Winona Ryder during her shoplifting trial in 2002 (right).

Girl, interrupted.
