STREET CRED

Cristiano Ronaldo is a certified G -- so says Alexi Lalas ... who's slamming the soccer superstar's "pretty boy" rep after witnessing his badassery this past weekend.

"Anytime there's an athlete that bleeds and plays through it ... they get a little street cred," Alexi told TMZ Sports.

You remember the carnage -- Ronaldo dove in for the header in Real Madrid's match against Deportivo ... scoring a goal, but taking a cleat to the dome in the process.

The collision left Cristiano a bloody mess ... and scrambling for a mirror to check on his moneymaker.

A lot of fans were poking fun at Ronaldo for the mirror-check, but Lalas says CR7 completing the header says way more about him than anything else.

Not to say he isn't pretty -- Alexi definitely ain't denying that!

Miley Cyrus 2018 Beach Bod ... Already on Point

January's not even over, but Miley Cyrus is showing off her best summer beach bod already.

Miley was spotted on the beach in Byron Bay, Australia earlier this month ... showcasing her fit physique in a tiny -- and incredibly cheeky -- red bikini.

Miley's no longer Down Under because she's back in the States for the "60th Annual Grammy Awards" ... which she'll be attending in NYC Sunday night.

As we reported ... her fiance, Liam Hemsworth, was seen wearing what looks like a wedding ring in Malibu Friday, but there are no reports the 2 were married.

Perhaps a big surprise at the Grammys??

Miss BumBum 2018 First Transgender Gets in the Mix

Meet Paula Oliveira ... the first transgender trying to win Miss BumBum 2018.

Paula -- who was born Vinicius Oliveira before her sex reassignment surgery 6 years ago -- says she waited 2 years for her paperwork as Paula to finally come through. She's 27 and taking a pretty damn bold stand given Brazil's known for being prejudice against gay and transgender people.

BTW ... the Miss BumBum competition is in its final year of existence. We've definitely had our fun here. Enjoy it while it lasts.

Jen Selter Drink it All In ... Not Just the Glass

Jen Selter brings out the thirst in all of us -- which is fitting ... 'cause it looks like she's a little thirsty herself.

The famous fitness model was seen poolside in Miami drinking from what appears to be some sort of fancy drink from a giant wine glass -- with lots of straws to suck from.

BTW -- she's known for her great assets. As far as we can tell, though, she's also got some solid slurping skills to display. Drink up, fellas!

Katharine McPhee My Hawaii Trip Is Bumpin'

Katharine McPhee's idle time looks just as good as her 'Idol' time -- in fact it looks hotter, due to her butt-hugging swimwear in Hawaii.

Kat's on vacation and Thursday she was ready to swing into the weekend ... courtesy of some chill time in a hammock. Her bf, David Foster, wasn't around, but she seemed to be in a deep FaceTime convo with someone. Based on the Blue Steel looks she was flashing ... it could've been David.

Looks like Katherine knows how to work her angles. All of them.

Victoria's Secret Models Cindy & Lais Forget Bikinis in Miami ... Go for Plan B(ra)

The real Victoria's Secret was exposed in Miami, which is that lingerie works just as well as a bikini on the beach ... maybe better.

VS models Lais Ribeiro and Cindy Bruna were doing a beach photo shoot Wednesday, and passed on the traditional swimwear ... going simply bras and panties instead.

We're sure they didn't get a single complaint from the locals. Besides, a two piece is a two piece, right?

Lace, lycra -- no harm, no foul ... as far as we can tell.

Josephine Skriver Lookin' JoseFINE In Beach Lingerie

Josephine Skriver found herself at the beach without a standard sexy-as-hell swimsuit, so instead ... she went with the pretty-in-pink lingerie look.

The Victoria's Secret Angel rocked the racy lingerie during a photo shoot near the beach in Miami Wednesday ... and she certainly stood out on some sort of stone slab.

Last time we saw Josephine in a similar get-up in Miami she had a lot more of her VS model friends with her, but we gotta say ... solo Skriver's just as good.

Halle Berry Reporting for Duty At NAACP Image Awards

Halle Berry wasn't getting her panties in a bunch over her wardrobe at the NAACP Image Awards this week ... which is easy when you're not wearing any.

Halle glowed on the red carpet Monday in Pasadena in a sheer dress that showed off what appeared to be the actress going commando. That's our angle, anyway.

Can't say we're complaining either -- she looks absolutely stunning at 51 ... with or without her undies.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Halle's been taking a less-is-more approach to 2018 so far. Keep it up, girl!

Kendall Jenner Saved Nude Shoot for Rainy Day (You're Welcome)

Kendall Jenner got caught out in the rain with no clothes on ... but at least she had a see-through raincoat handy to cover up.

Jenner went completely nude -- sort of -- for a wet and wild photo shoot with Harper's Bazaar ... she's their cover girl for the February 2018 Spring Fashion Preview issue.

Kendall seems to be channeling her inner Jennifer Beals from "Flashdance" here, but substitutes a leotard with a clear Chanel raincoat and boots.

Still makes quite a splash.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley Just Had a Kid?!?! ... Could've Fooled Us

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley looked absolutely incredible during a bikini photo shoot in the Bahamas this week ... this just six months after popping out a baby boy in June.

Goes to show, Jason Statham has a lot to be proud of after Rosie, his longtime girlfriend, gave birth to their first kid last summer ... count her post-birth bod as part of that.

This is the first bikini shoot the former Victoria's Secret Angel has done since giving birth, and it certainly looks like she's been putting in work since then.

The dad bod movement's got a lot of catching up to do. #NewMomBod

Kim Kardashian Top O' the Morning!!!

Kim Kardashian's Friday morning got off to a racy start ... not that we're complaining.

Kim posted this topless photo with her ass nearly all out in all its glory. She captioned the photo, "Rise & Grind." If you needed a little motivation to kick-start the weekend, here it is. Our guess is it'll wanna keep you tucked in bed.

Not sure what's up with the glow in the pic (ceiling mirror?) or how those sheets stay so crisp so early in the morning ... or why we're still typing for that matter.

Elsa Hosk Best. Kettlebell. Workout. Ever.

Here's hoping Elsa Hosk starts a new kettlebell trend ... with her workout attire.

The Victoria's Secret Angel suited up in a lace leotard for day 28 of LOVE Magazine's Advent calendar. Her form was on point ... and her kettlebell workout wasn't too shabby either. Elsa strapped and chalked it up for some Russian swings, single-arm rows and goblet squats. It's all fantASStic.

Only 3 days left before LOVE rounds out its 2017 calendar ... and gotta say, it's almost a miracle these posts make any damn sense after Day 1. Hard to concentrate, ya know?

Minka Kelly Checker Out ...

Minka Kelly's checking out Hawaii for the holidays ... where the sun's a tad warmer than in her hometown of L.A.

Minka brought her talents to the Big Island where she took a dip and basked under the sun in this one-piece bathing suit. Nice job matching the outfit with that trucker's hat. She was there with friends ... paddleboarding and even helping her gal pal keeping her bikini top intact.

And because we know you're wondering ... no sign of Jesse Williams anywhere.

Mele Kalikimaka!!!

Ryan Phillippe Oh, the Weather Outside is Nippy ... Let It Show, Let It Show, Let It Show!!!

Ryan Phillippe's freak accident is definitely behind him ... can't say the same about his freak of a bod, thankfully.

Ryan posed for this shirtless pic while on a holiday vacay, where apparently winter attire's optional ... because no one ever said washboard abs are strictly a summer show. That beanie, though ... way to protect the blonde locks.

Great to see Ryan fully back on his feet ... months after a UTV crushed his right leg after trying to steer the thing to safety.

SI Model Chase Carter Abs and Ass ... Beach Fun With Gold Medal BF

Here are the perfect images for the day after you stuffed your face ... two completely perfect human beings flaunting their ridiculous bodies on the beach.

The specimens are SI swimsuit model (and Rookie) Chase Carter and her Olympic Gold Medal BF, Conor Dwyer, who scorched the sand in Miami over the Christmas holidays.

These two have been dating for a while, and definitely aren't shy about letting the world know, sharing some PDA on the beach between playing Frisbee, swimming, and not eating any carbs.

We're not jealous, we're just extremely upset we're not either of them.

Ashley Graham Bustin' Her Humps in Morocco With the Help of a Camel

The desert is usually hot, but Ashley Graham made it extra hot modeling a bunch of bikinis in the sand in Morocco.

Graham shared several behind-the-scenes pics from her photo shoot Thursday in Taghazout. How behind? There's even a photo of her inside her makeshift changing room with nothing on.

Ashley's a pro, but she still got an assist from a camel on the shoot. Doesn't seem like she was into the humped animal, not that she needs any help in that department.
