Summer

President Biden's got a busy week ahead of him with a planned trip to Europe -- but before he gets back on the job ... it looks like he wanted to kick up his feet, and some sand too.

JB was in Rehoboth Beach, DE Saturday -- where he and FLOTUS, Jill Biden, have a summer home in the North Shores neighborhood -- and both of them went down toward the shore to soak in some rays and enjoy the atmosphere ... a very sunny one, indeed.

Now, eyewitnesses tell us it was Jill who actually arrived on the beach first -- accompanied by a bunch of Secret Service agents -- and that Joe eventually followed with his own flock.

As you can see, the Bidens had chairs and umbrellas laid out ... and Jill even threw on some sunscreen for protection. When it comes to Joe -- he settled for a baseball cap and keeping his shirt on. Shoes, too, it seems ... you can never be too careful for POTUS!

When they were finally seated next to each other ... we're told Joe was busy reading a bunch of papers, although it's unclear what was on them. No PDA between the first couple or anything -- sounds like they were just content with being in each other's company.

Anyway, like we said ... Joe's scheduled to hit the skies Sunday for a 5-day trip overseas, where he'll touch down in England, Lithuania and Finland for a handful of engagements.

It's interesting he's gonna be out of town this week, seeing how the findings of the ongoing cocaine probe are expected to be released in the coming days. Remember, an undisclosed amount of the illicit substance was found in the West Wing over 4th of July weekend.

These summer studs have been ripping right into swimsuit season with their abs simmering in the sun. And, with months of preparation and going hardcore in the gym ... there seems to be a common theme amongst these Hollywood dudes: showin' off their rock hard bods!

Add some eye candy to your summer with actors, influencers, TV stars and more; all who have shown up, and boy oh boy are they showin' out ... the proof is in the pics, abs-olutely!

Putting your celeb knowledge on the line ... have you come prepared to identify which Hollywood hunk is in the bare-chested shot?!

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck's East Coast weekend getaway is shaping up to be a ball ... of the pickling variety, specifically.

The couple is out in the Hamptons right now, where they seem to have settled in to ring the 4th of July -- but before the fireworks, it looks like they were in the mood to get active ... namely, by hitting up a public pickleball court in Sag Harbor and whacking away.

Check out this footage, obtained by TMZ, which shows Bennifer hitting a ball back and forth out in the open. This was in a public space, BTW, so they weren't trying to lie low.

As you can see -- they're on the side of the court ... and we're told there were two children on the other end who were playing with them. No word on whether it was either of their kids or not, but ya gotta figure it might've been ... the brood rolls together a lot these days.

Now, when it comes to their game ... well, let's just say Jen looked to be a little more engaged (and dressed for the occasion) than her hubby did. She's out there in straight-up tennis gear (pickleball is like mini tennis, FWIW) and Ben's in ... jeans and a tee.

He also comes across as a little more lackadaisical here, half-heartedly using his paddle -- but hey, they're playing against young'ns. Can't really knock the dude for takin it easy.

Remember, the two of them had just gone to Michael Rubin's White party the day prior -- so it's possible they're a little pooped and soaking in the holiday with a chill back-and-forth.

11:45 AM PT -- Joey Chestnut easily won the hot dog-eating contest (again) for the 16th time, and while his performance this year was solid ... it still wasn't as good as years past.

JC ate 62 hot dogs in 10 minutes, which secured him the victory and the belt. Like we said, he's eaten more before -- but it's impressive, nonetheless. Congrats, bud!

Chestnut and the rest of the hot dog-eating machines WILL gorge themselves this year after all on a Fourth of July tradition, -- despite Mother Nature trying to torpedo their plans.

Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest was almost canceled Tuesday at Coney Island ... all on account of a massive thunderstorm that rolled through, which dumped a ton of rain and lightning onto the area -- and sent patrons running for cover.

Footage taken by journos on the ground shows swarms of people looking to get out of the rain any way they can ... and some got creative, standing on outdoor tables under umbrellas.

It got so bad that the NYPD actually pulled the plug on the rest of the competition -- the men's race, specifically -- out of an abundance of caution. But Nathan's organizers waited it out a bit and decided to proceed once the storm cleared -- which it eventually did.

It's unclear when exactly the contest will get underway, but the legend himself is waiting in the wings and clearly ready. JC was seen walking around mingling with onlookers who stuck around -- and he was hyping himself up as they chanted his name.

Indeed, the guy's back to defend his title ... last year he ate 63 hot dogs and won, but that wasn't anywhere near his record set the previous year at 76 franks -- which he hoped to topple in 2023.

The glizzy champ wants another bite at the apple, er, wiener. At this point, it's looking like he'll get his chance -- and seeing how he's the odds-on favorite to win ... people will be counting the dogs he downs as the true marker of victory.

Go get 'em, kid!

Just as sure as they'll be fireworks over the East River on Independence Day, Michael Rubin was true to tradition, throwing an insane July 4th white party bash that was, as per usual, the hottest ticket in town.

JLo and Ben Affleck were all decked out as they sauntered into the Hampton's soiree Jay-Z loaded up his whip with some pals and drove inside Rubin's gates.

Winnie Harlow was all that as she waved to the crowd, Evita style, and Emily Ratajkowski ... well, the photo says it all -- incredible!!!

EmRata showed off the goods, as Travis Scott -- who was just cleared of criminal charges in the Astroworld tragedy -- chilled with some buddies.

Justin Bieber and his wife Hailey mingled among the crowd, as Kendall Jenner and friends mugged for the cam.

Kelly Rowland looked fantastic, and Tom Brady was multi-tasking as he sipped his drink and texted away.

We're not even close to done ... Jack Harlow, Corey Gamble, Druski, Dixie D'Amelio, Fabolous, and a bunch of other members of the Rich-and-Famous Club all had a blast.

These sexy stars have come decked out in their finest red, white, and blue bikinis, and guessing which babe posing in the shot is dependent on you! Put your celeb knowledge to the true test and dive into this smoke show!

With a wide range of actresses to models and everything in between... these bodacious babes are declaring their independence and flaunting their patriotism ... Let Freedom Ring!

Take a leisurely dip into our gallery of Red, White, and Blue Bikini Babes, and see if you can guess the festive gal in the sexy snap!

In honor of the big holiday weekend, we've assembled all the famous folks throwin' more than just their buns up on the grill 😜. So, before you meal prep and marinate your festive feast, get yourself some grilling inspo. straight from the stars!

Total grill master Ryan Seacrest "wheeled" out his finest barbecuing techniques (and his biceps 💪), while New York housewife Jill Zarin served up some heat 'n meat in the Hamptons, and feast your eyes on "Vampire Diaries" star Kat Graham who snapped a weenie shot ... hot diggity dog!

4:13 PM PT -- As it turns out, Jonathan was, in fact, with Sydney during this trip ... he was just laying low. Dude popped up on other people's photo dumps ... but not hers.

A little camera shy, eh?

Sydney Sweeney seems to be living her best life this summer -- but the question still kinda remains after this latest development ... is she living her best *single* life???

The actress posted a massive photo dump that shows her partying and enjoying herself during a recent trip to Ibiza -- where she's seen hanging out with friends and hitting the town ... be it in formal-wear, or in a bikini. Indeed, she was rockin' all sorts of looks.

Take a peek at the pics yourself ... Sydney's cheesin' from ear to ear just about every one of them, documenting everything she did -- whether it was poolside loungin, boat-ride sightseeing, surfing or dancing the night away at a concert. SS did all of it and then some.

Obviously, nothing wrong with any of this on its face -- but what becomes evident quite quickly is that her fiancé, Jonathan Davino, is nowhere to be found in the festivities. There is one guy featured who has a passing resemblance to Jon, but it's another dude altogether.

In fact, in some of these shots ... it looks like her engagement ring is also missing -- but that could be explained by the setting some of these pictures were taken in ... including at the pool, where one might presumably ditch such hardware to take a dip.

Point is ... it's interesting that JD is absent from this trip, but not necessarily a smoking gun of her relationship status. Sydney was spotted out on a date night with Jonathan just a few weeks ago in NYC -- where they seemed to be in good spirits and going strong.

She and Jon have actually surfaced a few times over the past several months -- this amid speculation something was going on between her and costar Glen Powell ... whom she shot a movie with, and who looked cozy next to her during a Spring promotional tour.

As far as we know ... she's still on with Jonathan, but man -- Sydney sure does seem unattached here. Hot girl summer, anyone??? 🥵

The thermometers are starting to top off and there's a smell of sunblock in the air, which can mean only one thing ... It's time to kick off the TMZ Summer Hot Shots features!

This year we are starting off the Fourth of July holiday weekend with the eye-popping influencer Eve Plourde ... a real red-hot firecracker complete with a cheeky checker print bikini and a matching pair of cherry shades!

When Eve isn't looking at life through her rose-colored glasses, she uses her artistic eye to stick it to her customers at her tattoo shop and leaves the competition in the dust in her tricked-out 2014 Subaru WRX.

Vroom-Vroom!

Hollywood was feeling the heat (and themselves) this month and couldn't help but toss their sultry selfies up on socials! From tropical bikini shots to bare-skinned babes posted up, there was absolutely no holding back from these stars lookin' like a summer snack!

The hot meter was through the roof ... so much so, Kourtney Kardashian showed off her baby bump in a revealing bikini, Ricky Martin stripped down to nothing but his Calvins and Rosalia snapped a topless selfie shot.

Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez left their Sardinia vacation the same way James Bond might leave a villain's island after a successful mission -- full-throttle and completely badass.

The Amazon founder and his fiancée beelined it away from the Italian island Monday after spending several days there ... where they were soaking up the sun and enjoying the open seas. As a getaway vehicle, they opted for what seems to be a very expensive speed boat.

JB and LS were rocking their shades and chatting it up as the vessel roared through over the water and approached an even larger boat -- a massive support boat that was waiting for both of them.

This is not Bezos' superyacht ... it's appears to be the tender that takes them from the yacht to shore, and even IT is awesome ...  it has a freaking helipad on top of it, which Jeff and Lauren used.

Indeed ... they ended up leaving the area entirely up in the skies. A helicopter flew 'em out -- so they went from land to sea ... and finally to the air. We suppose we wouldn't expect anything less from a multibillionaire -- they tend to travel in style, especially on vacation.

As we've reported ... Jeff and Lauren have gotten their honeymoon started early this summer. They've been hopping all over Europe for the past month -- and wherever they go, they seem to be rolling solo and enjoying each other's company ... almost exclusively.

Calling all Barbie girls -- Barbie's IRL Malibu Dreamhouse is going back up on Airbnb -- and this time, Ken's hosting two FREE overnight stays!!!

The life-size Dreamhouse -- located in the heart of Malibu, of course -- just got a pretty pink glow-up, and it's going to be listed on Airbnb a couple of days before the anticipated movie hits theaters.

Airbnb says Ken will host two lucky winners for individual overnight stays on July 21 and 22 ... the listing goes up July 17 at 10 AM PT and Airbnb says two people will be selected and can bring a friend for a free night at the real-life Barbie house.

The 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom pad is 3 stories and it's decked out with a private theater, hobby room, outdoor disco dance floor, hot tub, and an infinity pool ... not to mention sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean.

Remember, the Dreamhouse went on Airbnb back in 2019 with a $60 nightly price tag to honor the 60th anniversary of the iconic doll, and the property has since overgone a makeover ... so this is an even better deal!!!

To celebrate the super rare listing, Airbnb says it's going to make a donation to Save the Children ... and the lucky winners also get to take home their very own set of yellow-and-pink Impala skates and surfboards.

In what could pass as an outtake from "Jaws" -- a guy was bitten by a shark and dragged off his boat during a fishing trip in Florida last week ... and the video is wild.

The clip shows a group of fishermen in the Florida Everglades, anchored in a marsh. You see one guy's rod in the water, and another guy (who's on camera) bends down and starts to lean over the side of the small boat they're all in.

As the dude starts to consider putting his hand in the water, one of his buddies tells him it's probably not a good idea. He's incredulous though, saying nothing will happen.

However, as soon as his fingers hit the water, a shark comes up and takes a bite! The fisherman yelps out in pain, getting dragged in and desperately tries getting back on board.

Park rangers responded to the scene, and reports say the guy was airlifted to the hospital -- where he was treated for a hand injury.

Patrick Mahomes is clearly an All-Pro both in front of the camera and behind one ... showing this weekend he can play an elite photographer for his wife!!

Brittany Mahomes enlisted the NFL superstar for the gig when she wanted to grab some sexy bikini pics while out on vacation with the fam ... and check it out, Patrick dove headfirst into the role.

The 27-year-old quarterback made sure to get all of the angles for his bae ... even getting down in a little half crouch to get some shots.

Brittany was apparently a big fan of Patrick's work ... she posted two of his pics -- and called him a "10/10 Husband" for all the effort he put in.

The QB's supporters loved it all too -- gushing over the signal-caller's impromptu photo shoot enthusiasm in the comment section on Brittany's post.

Retirement looks REALLY good on Tom Brady ... 'cause the 7-time Super Bowl champ ditched his top during his yacht getaway in Greece -- and the dude looks pretty shredded!!

TB12 and his kids have been living it up on the luxurious "Madsummer" boat this week ... enjoying all kinds of watersports as they soak in some vitamin D.

But it hasn't just been Ben, Jack and Vivian testing out their skills in the water -- the 45-year-old daddy even showed them he's still down to partake in the fun and games ... getting out there and killing it while waterskiing!!

Brady rocked a wet suit for the occasion ... but once he was back on the yacht, he popped the top off to reveal he hasn't missed a step after hanging up the helmet earlier this year.

The former quarterback has been making the most of his extra time ... even questioning his parenting skills as he let the young ones ride around on handheld jet skis.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodriguez beat the heat in the best way possible -- the stunning couple showed off their incredible physiques while lounging on a yacht in Italy this week ... and the pics are a fuoco!!

The soccer superstar and his partner took their kids out for a luxurious getaway near Sardinia this week ... and it looked jam-packed with fun festivities like jet-skiing and diving into the water for some swimming.

The whole group posed for some pics during the trip ... with everyone giving two thumbs up.

Georgina went with a sexy green bikini for the outing ... and the Al Nassr striker chose some short Dolce and Gabbana trunks.

The 38-year-old icon -- who is in the middle of a MASSIVE deal worth up to $200 million a year -- will get to spend a lot of time with his loved ones during his time away from the pitch ... as his Saudi Arabian team has a few weeks off before returning to competition.
