Summer/Beach

Joe Jonas tried to take a stand in Australia -- on his surfboard -- and he eventually got there ... for about 2 seconds.

The DNCE singer went out looking to ride some waves at Bondi Beach Friday, but even with the help of a surfing instructor ... he couldn't quite get his body moves to sync up.

You gotta admire the Jonas bro's determination, though -- he kept hopping back up on his board even after eating it several times, and it finally paid off ...

Spurs baller Dejounte Murray was the real winner of All-Star weekend -- ditching his NBA bros for his INSANELY HOT IG model GF ... and bae-cationing in Maui.

Yeah ... good call.

For those unacquainted, that's 21-year-old Jilly Anais -- the apple of Dejounte's eye for the past year and change.

Murray and Anais were all over each other at the Four Seasons' Wailea beach -- makin' out and ass cuppin,' splashin' around in the water ... basically doing the kinda stuff you'd expect from a man with the baddest chick on the island.

Seems like things are getting serious, too. Jilly captioned one of the pics, "Falling head over heels for you is easy" (shout-out to Chris Brown).

Lock it down, young man. Lock it down.

Blac Chyna doesn't need any Valentine's Day gifts ... she's got plenty, and she put them ALL on display at the beach.

BC hit the sand for a photo shoot in Malibu this week, and it was V-Day themed ... packed with balloons and a very revealing thong bikini. It's close, but we think there's more booty than balloons here.

Chyna might not be on the best of terms with the Kardashians, but she's definitely on their level in the cakes department.

Claudia Jordan briefcase modeling days are well behind her, but she still looks like a million bucks in a bikini.

The former "Deal or No Deal" star hit the beach Monday in Miami, where she flaunted a pink bikini from all angles ... front, side and back.

Here's the thing -- we know Father Time's undefeated, but 44-year-old Claudia's got the ol' bastard on the ropes. She's got a bunch of upcoming acting gigs, but 1997's Miss USA Rhode Island can clearly jump back into modeling whenever she wants.

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.

Chris Hemsworth's mini-me caught a clean wave Down Under worthy of a standing O.

Thor and his wife, Elsa Pataky, took their 3-year-old twin sons, Sasha and Tristan, to Byron Bay in Australia for surfing lessons. Sasha wasted no time proving he's destined for greatness in the water ... looking every bit like a pro with a low-center of gravity and perfect stance.

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.

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?

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.

Dakota Johnson and Chris Martin are going public -- the new couple strolled on the beach over the weekend, packed on some PDA and, for good measure ... hung out with Kenny G.

Chris and Dakota have been dating for a few months, but previously took great measures to keep it private. That all changed Sunday in Malibu ... where the "Fifty Shades of Grey" star and Chris looked inseparable.

They had some unexpected company on the beach when Kenny G popped up, sadly without his saxophone. So, no Coldplay-Kenny G collab.

That Dakota's a lucky woman.

Models Candice Swanepoel and Doutzen Kroes are on vacation in Bahia, Brazil together and still bringing their VS A-game to the beach even with a bun in the oven.

The on-hiatus VS and former VS model are no strangers to posing in the sand in tiny bikinis and over the weekend, they both did it with a ton of arm candy.

Swaenpoel brought her son along for the ride, while Douzten was there with DJ/husband Sunnery James. Sure, that may sound like a buzzkill ... until you see them in their bikinis.

Britney Spears is taking a load off in Hawaii after ending her residency in Las Vegas -- and we are so thankful for the break ... and the view.

Brit was spotted rockin' a yellow bikini on a Hawaiian beach Wednesday -- just a few days after she performed her last residency show in Vegas for New Year's Eve.

She went out with a bang then, and it looks like she's still banging now. Britney's toned figure was on full display ... and, Lordy, does she look good.

The holidays are over for us normies, but not for UFC star Anthony Pettis and his smokin' hot fiancee ... who are out in sunny Aruba getting their safari on!

It ain’t just any average trip -- Anthony popped the question on NYE at the Aruba Ritz-Carlton ... and Lisette said yes!!

Since then, the future Mr. and Mrs. “Showtime” have been living it up on the island -- exploring ancient ruins, off-roading at a safari and hitting the beach with flamingos are just a few of the activities they've been getting into.

Not like Anthony really cares -- anything with Lisette is winning.

Congrats!!

Mark Wahlberg's swole body should be motivation to hit the gym -- at least until you quit your New Year's resolution in 3 weeks -- but his diving form might need some work.

Mark's been vacationing in Barbados with his wife and 4 kids and having a blast ... as you can see in these pics of the action star attempting a dive off a doc into the Caribbean.

Take off was strong, but midway Mark looks like he's heading for an awesomely painful belly flop.

Diddy's girlfriend needed a little sun before a little bubbly for New Year's -- and she definitely got it ... on all sides.

Paps got Cassie hitting the beach in Miami hours before her guy threw a blowout of a NYE party at their house -- where Diddy ended up helping a drunk woman who'd passed out.

It might not snow in L.A. but bet your ass Nicole Williams still knows how to turn a beach into a winter wonderland.

The 'WAGS' star was struttin' her stuff on a beach in Santa Monica where she wore the hell out of a mesh one-piece from her Nia Lynn swim collection. This attire's quite the switch-up from what we're used to seeing her in -- usually very little to nothing at all ... not that we're complaining.
