DO YOU BOO: Hoda Kotb Flosses Her Toned 49-Year-Old Bikini Body In Miami Posted: 09 Dec 2013 08:50 AM PST Who knew 49-year-old Hoda Kotb was hiding a hot body underneath her conservative clothes on "Today Show"?  The Egyptian 4th hour co-host was spotted getting away from the cold and snowy New York weather and chillin' on Miami Beach this weekend.   Pics inside... When you're looking this good and happy one year away from turning 50, you should by all means flaunt it.  Journalist and "Kathie Lee & Hoda" co-host Hoda Kotb rocked her blue & white bandeau bikini and flowy white sarong as she hit up the beaches of Miami during Art Basel. We don't get to talk much about Hoda, but looking fab and having a pretty long career in journalism is indeed worthy of talking about: Not sure if this is her man, but her ex looked semi-similar.  So we wouldn't be surprised if this was her new boo.   By the way, there's a Kitten Bowl this year airing on the Hallmark Channel.  (We're totally here for that!)  It goes down Super Bowl Sunday, February 2 at 12/11c.  And Hoda is hosting alongside animal activist and Howard Stern's wife, Beth Stern.   Photos: Hallmark's Twitter/Pacific Coast News

Janelle Monae Goes GIRLY, Rocks Sexy White Dress For Birthday In Jamaica Posted: 09 Dec 2013 08:00 AM PST It's Janelle Monae like you've never (well, at least rarely) seen here.  The gorgeous CoverGirl spokesmodel celebrated her 28th birthday in Jamaica, and tapped into her super girly side.   Pics inside... Before she rocked around the Christmas tree at the National Tree Lighting in D.C. a few nights ago, Janelle Monae trekked it to Jamaica to celebrate her b-day.  The gorgeous "Electric Lady" turned 28 on December 1st, so she rolled to the Carribean to make it a special occasion with friends. She stepped out of her usual black and/or white pants and blouses look to get a little flirty in a black & white cocktail dress with cut-out sides.  And she looked super cute! Janelle and her flawless face have been having the best month ever.  She copped the Soul Train Music Award for Video of the Year, is killing it on her Electric Lady tour, and was also praised with accolades by the Obamas....personally.  She said: First Lady & Pres called me "electric lady" & they have and love the album. :-) cheeks hurt ! Sweet!  Happy belated birthday Janelle!   Photos: Janelle's IG/@WeHeartJanelle

HOTTEST DADDY-DAUGHTER TEAM? Zoe Kravtiz Sizzles On Miami Beach In A Nude Bikini + Papa Lenny Hits The Beach In Silver Boots Posted: 09 Dec 2013 07:18 AM PST While 99% of the country is in a deep freeze, Zoe Kravitz and her pops Lenny Kravitz are reveling in that 1% that isn't.  They're on the hot ass beaches of Miami.  Get jealous inside... Zoe Kravtiz & her teeny tiny nude snakeskin bikini took a break of the posh Art Basel events to soak up some sand and sun on Miami Beach yesterday.   She was in the city to perform with her band. The fab chick flossed her tiny toned body and her oversized straw hat as she looked like the mini-me version of her mom Lisa Bonet.     The singer/actress chilled out with a drink as her rock star dad was nearby. And the After Earth star is currently the midst of filming a new movie in Canada called Pretend We're Kissing and will appear in the upcoming sci-fi movie Divergent. Pops Lenny, who's currently starring in Hunger Games: Catching Fire, brought his silver boots to the beach.  Of course! Y'all know he's never going to shed that rockstar image...not even for 85 degree beach weather.... Photos: Splash

Meagan Good posed for COMPLEX Magazine where she dished on reinventing herself in Hollywood and how she landed her role in Anchoman 2.  Here are the highlights: Anchorman 2 is one of the most anticipated movies to come out in a long, long time. Does that make it nerve-wracking at all for you? It’s nerve-wracking, in general, because I hadn’t done a whole lot of comedy, so there were parts of it that were very new for me. That part of it was nerve-wracking because you want to do a good job, and you’re a little bit nervous. It was great because [director] Adam McKay is just amazing—he creates this atmosphere where you can do no wrong, and you can just try stuff and trust your instincts. If it doesn’t, you don’t get shot down—it’s just like, “OK, let’s try something different.” It’s fantastic that he created that atmosphere, and all the guys helped with that because they’re all so nurturing. They want you to do well. If there’s any way you want to go into something new, I had the best-case scenario. Everyone was so supportive and sweet. Was this a tough role to land? Playing Ron Burgundy’s new love interest seems like a role that every actress in Hollywood would want to chase after. It was the strangest thing, because I was in New York and I was filming Deception. I heard that they were officially going into making Anchorman 2. I got the script and the sides and just said to myself, “OK, I’ll just send in my audition tape and see what happens.” I got a call about a week later; they were like, “Do you think you can come to New York to do a chemistry read with Will?” And I was like, “Do you mean will I walk on foot right now from Atlanta? Because if so, then yes.” [Laughs.] I got in, did the chemistry read, it went amazing. Will was very sweet and supportive; I kind of beat him up in the audition, and threw him around the room a little, and he let me. About a week later, they called me and say, “Hey, you got the part!” And I just was blown away, and so appreciative. I started thanking God immediately. I know there were a lot of people up for it, and I know it was all God. I just feel like…I was just excited. I was over the moon. Earlier in your career, your sexuality was a big selling point, from 50 Cent’s “21 Questions” video to playing the sexy love interest in various movies. How do you feel about that time in your life? When I got into my 20s, I was fighting for people to see that the little girl from Friday and Eve’s Bayou wasn’t a little girl anymore. That’s why my career took the “sexy” turn. By my mid-20s, it had backfired. I was always playing the sexy roles. It was hard for me to be taken seriously as a good actress. I had to fight my way out of that box that people put me in. Playing the female lead in an Anchorman sequel must feel like a huge accomplishment. It does. I’m just now getting into my 30s, and this is the best I’ve ever felt inside and the best I’ve ever looked. I’m so ready. It’s like reliving your 20s but so much better, with a stronger sense of who you are and who you’re not. Because of that, I’ve never felt sexier. It’s a whole new kind of “sexy” turn for me.
