Summer/Beach

George R.R. Martin ain't in Westeros anymore -- and with Winter officially having come and gone, it looks like the famed author hopped a dragon to SoCal ... emphasis on LOOKS like.

The "Game of Thrones" scribe was spotted at a beach in sunny Oceanside -- at least that's what we first thought when we saw this photo. Turns out -- this is George's freakin' doppelganger IN THE FLESH!!! Seriously, the resemblance is uncanny.

We reached out to George's rep to make sure it was in fact him, and we were told no dice!!! The rep says George was actually in a completely different state. The dude's got a crib in Santa Fe, NM -- so he very likely might've been there with his wife, Parris.

When we pressed the rep for George's location he rep told us ... "I know exactly where he is. Not California. Holed up writing."

As for his impostor here, the guy was only slightly less dressed down than the real McCoy -- rockin' a short-sleeve button-down shirt, matching pants and brighter version of GRRM's signature charcoal cap.

Something else to keep in mind ... Comic-Con just wrapped the weekend before in nearby San Diego. So, maybe this guy's still cosplayin'.

Doesn't appear the fake George was flocked by fans -- especially those disgruntled ones who've been bitching about a botched final 'GoT' season.

The good news for real George is if he ever does need someone to help him dodge angry mobs ... he can find him on King's Beach Landing!!!

Shawn Mendes and rumored GF Camila Cabello are definitely getting closer and closer, as everyone on South Beach is seeing ... thanks to a splashy make out sesh.

Shawn and Camila brought what certainly looks like a budding romance to Miami ... snuggling and playing Monday afternoon in the sparkling blue waters. Good ol' fashioned PDA done right!

Camila's looking AMAZING in a cute white one-piece, showing off her flawless figure from all angles ... and Shawn's flaunting his six-pack. It's really no wonder they're all over each other.

Shawn and Camila have been pretty coy about their relationship status so far ... but they've been smooching and cuddling all over the country this summer ... Los Angeles, San Francisco and now Miami. Yes, their love is looking very bicoastal.

We only say "looking," because doubters suspect the romance is really about promoting their "Senorita" duet. However, that was released well over a month ago, so maybe it's time to consider it could be real. Who knows? They won't say.

Here's a friendly reminder of why we love Gigi and Bella Hadid.

The two sisters are currently in Mykonos enjoying a nice, long Greek vacation, with some of their gal pals tagging along as well. On Sunday, the gang was out in their bikini wear at what appears to be pad they're crashing at. It ain't the beach, but we'll take it!

Gigi and Bella looked INCREDIBLE in their two-pieces, showing off their model figures while catching some rays on the patio. Like we said, definitely summer ready.

It's interesting ... even something as mundane as checking their phones -- or, ya know, standing around or even walking -- looks amazing when the Hadid sisters do it ... especially when they're together like this. Makes ya remember why they're the best in the biz.

And, speaking of Greek getaways, Bella and Gigi aren't the first flock of models to jet out there this summer. Kendall Jenner and her own crew were there just a few weeks ago.

Ella Rose has the summer blues ... and you gotta love it.

The Swedish model rocked the hell out of a baby blue bikini under the burning sun on Santa Monica beach.

Ella -- who, by the way, is New England Patriots star Julian Edelman's baby mama -- rocked some shades, naturally, and glistened before taking a dip in the Pacific blue. It's one helluva show ... and sad to say, nobody seemed to be around to enjoy the scenery.

This summer is looking ab-solutely scorching hot!!!

These sexy stars are making their way outdoors to to burn up the Hollywood scene by doing cool things like hiking, beaching and taking a dip in the pool ... the tops are coming off and the shirtless selfies are taking over social media.

See all the flexin' fellas ripping things up this season by flipping through our gallery of hot summer stomachs -- Get a really good look at the celebs showing off their six packs and pecks -- then see if you can guess which jacked star is responsible for the real heat.

Model Cat Kennedy's new bathing suit definitely hits the spot ... to purrrfection.

Cat was spotted -- haha, spotted -- showing off her beach bod in a leopard print bathing suit for a little fun in the sun next to the world famous Santa Monica Pier. Lots of moods to appreciate for sure ... from pensive and playful to mysterious and chill.

Henry Cejudo wins again!!!

The UFC superstar is down in Mexico on vacation with a smokin' hot lady on his arm ... and by the looks of things, he's having a GREAT time!!!

Triple C (two UFC championship belts and an Olympic gold medal) was spotted out in Tulum with a new lady friend.

We're told the mystery lady is a soap opera actress from Brazil named Sandra -- and by the looks of it, we're guessing she also does some modeling (if not, she should).

Our Cejudo sources tell us the two are vacation together (it's not like he met her down there) but they're not an official boyfriend, girlfriend thing just yet.

As one source put, "He's still single man. He's having fun."

Cejudo is having one hell of a year in 2019 -- he defended his UFC flyweight belt in January against a juiced up T.J. Dillashaw and then in June he starched Marlon Moraes for the bantamweight title.

Audrina Patridge was all smiles showing off her bikini bod during a trip to paradise ... a welcomed scenery change a week after experiencing hell.

Audrina threw on a black bikini and some shades Wednesday in Laguna Beach ... enjoying the crashing waves and picturesque view of the sun beginning to set behind the Pacific blue. She sported a grin ear to ear and made good use of it ... taking tons of selfies.

It's a far cry from her stress-filled 4th of July when, for a moment, she couldn't get in touch with her daughter, Kirra. TMZ broke the story ... Audrina and her ex, Corey Bohan, were supposed to exchange custody that morning at the Costa Mesa Police Department ... but Corey was a no-show.

Making matters worse ... a strong earthquake struck SoCal that morning, causing more panic. They eventually met up hours later for the custody exchange. Kirra was fine, but a hectic day for sure.

Kendall Jenner had herself quite the girls trip this weekend that brought Greek beach goers a glorious sight ... a flock of tall, beautiful women taking the waters TOGETHER. 

It was a helluva scene Sunday on the sandy shores of Mykonos ... where Kendall, Shanina Shaik, Cindy Bruna, Riley Montana and a few other models got off a tug boat and stormed the beach in their bikinis, ready to play.

The girls were all over each other too -- hugging and posing for tons of group shots as they splashed around in the sea ... only to emerge dripping wet for a little R&R.

There were some dudes in their party -- unclear if they were just locals, or if they'd traveled from the States ... but either way, they were the luckiest guys on the beach by far.

BTW, this is one of the first times we're seeing Shanina out and about since she filed to divorce her husband of one year, DJ Ruckus.

Looks like Kendall is reintroducing her to single life one vacay at a time. 

Speaking of the vacation, Kendall and co. kept the wet vibes going Monday by swapping out her silver bikini for a yellow one as they went diving off their tug boat. 

Chris Pratt got burnt to a crisp on his honeymoon ... and he wants you to see it from top to bottom. 

The 'Avengers' actor posted a photo Saturday of his entire backside -- ass crack included -- which was sunburned to the max ... minus his pale white cheeks, of course. He and his new bride, Katherine Schwarzenegger, just got back from their Hawaiian honeymoon, BTW.

Chris captioned the pic, "Suns out guns out I might have got(ten) a toouuuch crispy on the honeymoon" ... adding "#Aloe." You can say that again ... this looks mighty painful. 

Luckily for him, one of his Hollywood pals already has a solution to his hot mess of a problem -- Gwyneth Paltrow commented on his post, writing ... "I've got some goop for that." Kat also responded to it, throwing up a bunch of flame emojis. 

Chris and Kat have been in Lanai -- a separate island right off the coast of Maui -- since at least Wednesday, celebrating their marriage two weeks after tying the knot. 

They held off embarking on their honeymoon for a bit ... opting for some gym sessions in L.A. instead. Looks like they've done the deed though, and now they're back in the homeland.

It's definitely not summertime until some float photos start flooding your feed!

Stars such as Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Bella Hadid, Lindsey Vonn, Kendall Jenner, and Shay Mitchell are getting into the spirit of the season by soaking up the sun on their buoyant birds.

These famous floaters are taking full advantage of the weather and making sure they have some fun while they are at it!

Get a glimpse at the faces lounging in style by diving right into our gallery of celebrities on flamingo floats ... See up close and personal who is flocking towards some sunshine!

Leonardo DiCaprio's game face looks pretty damn painful ... especially when there's a volleyball smashing into it.

The Oscar winner was down in Malibu getting into his latest favorite pastime -- aside from dating models, of course ... good, old-fashioned beach volleyball!

Leo was diving left and right over the weekend, going low for saves and rising high for spikes as he played alongside Robin Thicke and the rest of his 'Bu crew, which included at least one woman on his side. At one point, Leo missed the ball and it hit him right in the kisser.

He's certainly a trooper -- Leo got right back into the game after the face splat, shook it off like a champ. Still though ... ouch.

We already know Leo's a fiend for the sport -- he got a lot of sets in last summer, and it looks like 2019 ain't gonna be much different. He's also consistent with his game gear -- T-shirt, shades and a ball cap ... front or backward, your preference.

The dude's got a big movie coming out soon -- Tarantino's "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" -- with his costars, Margot Robbie and Brad Pitt.

Katharine McPhee and David Foster are looking madly in love -- kissing and hugging on each other like school kids -- and it's great timing, considering they'll be tying the knot any day now.

Katharine and David are living it up on the picturesque Greek island of Mykonos ahead of their nuptials ... and they already look like they're in honeymoon-mode, because they couldn't stop making out while splashing around in the ocean.

Kat showed off her smoke show bod in a sexy beige bikini ... that clearly got David's attention. Maybe they haven't said "I do" officially yet, but David's face in these pics is kinda screaming it.

We broke the story ... Katharine and David got their marriage license in Bev Hills just last month, meaning it's only a matter of time until the actress/singer and music mogul walk down the aisle. The license is good for 90 days, so ... tick tock.

Still no word on a wedding date, but check out the gallery ... they're totally ready to do the deed.

Bella Thorne is leaving her troubles behind on the mainland ... hopping on a yacht to party her face off in Miami!!!

Bella's rolling deep with her friends for a little fun in the sun on the first day of summer ... living it up with Chantel Jeffries aboard a luxury yacht full of party people.

It's been a rough week for Bella, who got blasted by Whoopi Goldberg on TV for taking nude photos ... so in the wake of her super emotional clap back at "The View" host, Bella jetted down to South Florida for a much-needed vacation.

Bella knows how to cut loose ... puffing on a blunt and taking some selfies for the Gram as she floats above the picture-perfect water.

Dwyane Wade is LOVING retired life ... at least judging by these pics of the ex-NBA star gettin' hot and heavy with his wife, Gabrielle Union, on the beach in Cannes!!!

Even though he's no longer playin' ball, Wade is still working -- he and Gabby are in France for the 2019 Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity, where they're both promoting various entertainment projects.

Dwyane and Gabby each spoke on various panels during the festival -- with Union pushing her new show with Jessica Alba called "L.A.'s Finest."

But, in the downtime, the couple took their kids to the beach for a family fun day ... where they splashed around in the super expensive sands of Cannes (and even threw in some P.D.A.).

They brought two of their kids on the trip -- their baby daughter, Kaavia, and 12-year-old son, Zion.

Wade recently gave an interview about his kids -- talking about why he feels weird accepting accolades for supporting the individuality of children because he feels that's his job as a dad.

Looks like he's having a lot of fun on the job!

Melissa Rycroft's mysterious illness in the Dominican Republic is triggering an investigation from the Nickelodeon Hotel & Resort in Punta Cana ... where the 'Bachelor' alum was vacationing with her family.

The Nickelodeon Resort tells us they've been in touch with Melissa ... and our sources say the hotel hired an outside firm to review the resort's cleaning and sanitary practices, to see if there's any link to Melissa's strange illness.

Sources close to Melissa tell TMZ ... the former "Dancing With The Stars" contestant NEVER left the resort the ENTIRE time she was on the island. It's uncertain what's caused her sickness.

Several Americans have been falling ill and dying in the D.R. recently, but Melissa is the first to get sick at the Nickelodeon Resort.

We're told Melissa was taking extra precautions by staying clear of the mini bar in her hotel room and staying away from tap water ... though she DID have a few drinks from the bar cart and imbibed at various bars on the property.

It's interesting ... Melissa is the ONLY one in her family feeling ill, and her husband was only drinking beer, so her camp thinks it's plausible tainted alcohol could be the culprit.

Melissa got slimed at the hotel but has since deleted a picture she shared on her social media. She got sick on her second day of vacay, started feeling better, but then experienced other symptoms, including cramps.

Other sources tell us ... the Nickelodeon Resort is FREAKING OUT and lots of people are canceling their reservations, though it's unclear if news of Melissa's mysterious illness is the reason for the cancellations, or simply the general hysteria involving tourist deaths on the island.

The Nickelodeon Resort says they're still treating this as an isolated incident. The hotel adds it's taking "all possible measures to ensure a safe and healthy vacation environment, exceeding preventative measures and enforcing strict sanitation protocols."
