Former Melrose Place vixen Lisa Rinna recently showed off her ripped body in a colorful striped bikini while on have some fun at the beach.
I must say, her body is phenomenal for someone of 44. At the same time, however, I’m pretty sure my childhood Ken dolls had the same abs. Not a good look on a woman.
Every time I see Lisa Rinna all I see is her pregnant and naked.
More photos after the jump!

That’s what musician Pete Wentz did in April when reports surfaced that fiancee Ashlee Simpson was carrying his child. In an angry missive to MTV.com, Wentz fumed: “There is a witch hunt for people to be pregnant whenever they get engaged in Hollywood. This is all news to me.”
Last week, Wentz, who married the 23-year-old singer (now Simpson-Wentz) last month at her parents’ Los Angeles-area home, happily confirmed the news on his blog, explaining that the couple “wanted to wait until after the first trimester” to make it official.
Most expectant parents, concerned about the possibility of a miscarriage, wait until after the first three months of pregnancy to share the news with family and friends. But discretion is nearly impossible for those in the media spotlight.
“Every woman, no matter who they are or what they do for a living, has the right to wait until at least (three) months before sharing this very personal news,” Wentz, who turns 29 Thursday, told MTV.com last week. “We wanted to wait until after the first trimester and get a clean bill of health from our doctors before confirming anything, just like any other couple.”
“Being a boy I have no idea how to respond to such things and my first instinct was to protect her and the baby,” said Wentz, bassist for rock band Fall Out Boy. “It’s insane that you can’t let happy news brew in Hollywood. This wasn’t about press or anything. … I apologize to anyone who felt misinformed but the truth is, the person and growing baby is who I felt most loyal to protect and defend.”
Wentz isn’t the first celebrity to dispute pregnancy rumors. In late December, Nicole Kidman, who had a miscarriage during her marriage to Tom Cruise, denied that she is expecting a baby with husband Keith Urban — only to confirm it a week later. Jennifer Lopez, who welcomed twins with husband Marc Anthony in February, announced she was pregnant in November following denials by the couple.
Even so, attempts by celebrities to keep their pregnancies private doesn’t stop celebrity magazines and gossip Web sites from issuing reports to the contrary.
Jared Shapiro, executive editor of Life & Style Weekly, told The Associated Press the magazine began publishing stories that Simpson, the younger sister of Jessica Simpson, was pregnant after receiving information from various sources.
“The news of the pregnancy makes for great breaking news,” he said.
“Ninety-nine percent of these celebrities end up confirming, so they do talk about it — they just do it on their own terms,” said Shapiro. He said it’s the media’s job “to break news. Not wait for news.”
Pregnancy is a big game in the celeb news business, as indicated by the millions of dollars that People magazine has paid for exclusive photos of the children of Jennifer Lopez (reportedly $6 million), Angelina Jolie ($4 million for photos of baby Shiloh, now 2) and Christina Aguilera ($1.5 million).
Competition from Internet gossips raises the stakes even higher in getting the news first, Shapiro said.
“It’s hard for celebrities to keep a pregnancy secret but if you look at who they surround themselves with — they’ve got doctors, lawyers, agents, managers, publicists, assistants, friends, family,” he said. “Add that into the fact that you’ve got photographers following them, and just the entire American public on celebrity watch now — you can’t pull it off. Your every word is heard.”
Shapiro said stars are “getting creative in their choice of words, and that’s become a whole new game: dissecting what a (representative’s) comment actually means. Is it a denial? Is it a confirmation? Is a non-denial denial?”
Simpson-Wentz simply stayed mum while promoting her new album, “Bittersweet World.”
But when a star finds out she’s pregnant, how much talking should their representatives do?
Public Relations representative Ken Sunshine says “way too many” in his profession mishandle private matters (such as pregnancy) by not acting in their clients’ interest.
“Where I think the outrage comes is when they sell out their client, and either the clients are not aware or too stupid to realize what’s happening, and that is outrageous,” particularly when there’s a child involved, said Sunshine, whose clients include John Mayer and Leonardo DiCaprio.
Sunshine said there are lines to be drawn — especially in today’s celeb-crazed climate.
If somebody “wants to maintain some anonymity or some privacy of extremely personal things like this, they should be able to do it,” he said.

Lindsay Lohan Pregnant - In Next Film: Lindsay will be strapping on a faux baby bump for her upcoming project, “Labor Pains,” Variety reports. The actress will reportedly play an assistant at a publishing house who fakes a pregnancy to avoid getting fired. Let’s hope life doesn’t start imitating art on the set of this film.
Brad’s Artful Purchase: What do you get Angelina Jolie for her birthday? If you’re Brad Pitt, apparently more than $50,000 worth of art. Brad was spotted shopping at Switzerland’s Art Basel fair Tuesday, Us Weekly reports. He reportedly bought two bronze chairs designed by Max Lamb, each costing $25,000. Soon the couple will have six kids and only two bronze chairs. Everyone at the Pitt-Jolie house better know how to share.
Sharon Stone’s Second Apology: Maybe no one heard her the first time or maybe people were still too upset to listen, but Sharon Stone is apologizing for her remarks about the China earthquake for a second time, People reports. “There have been numerous reports about what I said in Cannes,” the actress said in a statement Wednesday. “I would like to set the record straight about what I feel in my heart and end all of the misunderstandings. Yes, I misspoke. I could not be more regretful of that mistake. It was unintentional. I apologize, those words were never meant to be hurtful to anyone, they were an accident of my distraction and a product of news sensationalism. I am deeply saddened by the pain that this whole situation has caused the victims of the devastating earthquake in China.”
Audrina To Heidi: Don’t Get Married Yet!: “Hills” star Audrina Patridge thinks Heidi Montag needs to chill out her inner-bridezilla and think twice about rushing down the aisle with boyfriend and manager Spencer Pratt, Us Weekly reports. “I think she’s still young, and I just feel like she shouldn’t get married right away,” she told the mag at the Dodge Challenger Celebrity Drag Race in Rosamond, California, on Tuesday. “They should be together and see if they can actually live together for a year without fighting. Once you are married…you’re married.” And yet another nugget of wisdom from “The Hills” cast.
Audrina & Lauren Still Friends?: In more “Hills” news, and not to spoil any of the upcoming cat fights when the MTV show returns for another season this summer, but when Audrina was asked if she was still friends with her roommate Lauren Conrad, she told Us Weekly, “Ummm….yeah.” And Audrina hopes to be an actress?!? She better work on ability to tell a more convincing lie. Bring on the semi-scripted reality show drama!

Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale were out playing at a park yesterday with their son, Kingston.
Maybe this was an early birthday outing for Kingston- he will turn 2 years old on Monday!
Stefani announced in January that she was pregnant for a second time. She was 13 weeks along in January, so expect Kingston to be a big brother later on this summer!
But how cute is this family? You can tell Gwen and Gavin are so in love! And Gwen is such a cute mom!
And she still knows how to look good while sporting the prego belly. I bet their next child will be just as cute as Kingston! And Gwen of course will always look amazing- pregnant or not!

Pregnant Jessica Alba has called it quites, again and hopefully once and for all, with boyfriend Cash Warren.
Alba had previously dated Warren before the baby news. They both decided to give it a go again thinking that the baby would bring them closer together.
Apparently bad idea, the couple seemed to fight over anything having to do with the pregnancy and Alba heard rumors that Warren was having an affair with a Russian model. That was all too much for her to handle, so she called it quites.
“Jessica was so distraught that she fled LA — and Cash — and took off for Sundance alone. She’s telling everyone that she just needs time away. It’s an act. Jessica’s secretly a wreck.”
Thank God. Jessica needed to get rid of that free-loading scum bag. She is much better without him.

After months of rumors flying that The Riches star, Minnie Driver, is pregnant, she gladly confirmed it on the talk show circuit yesterday.
Talk show host, Jay Leno, started the conversation off by asking if she had gained some weight.
Minnie replied jokingly, “Are you calling me fat?”
When Jay asked if she was pregnant, Minnie, 38, replied, “Yes I am.”
There is still no word of the identity of the father-to-be. The actress told him that she loves being pregnant “more than anything else,” but is not liking the morning sickness so much.
She added: “I don’t know why they call it morning sickness. I am sick morning, noon and night, but it’s a fair trade-off.”
Minnie also let Ellen DeGeneres happily feel her baby bump in an episode set to air Monday.

Pamela Anderson was photographed at the Bloomberg after-party for the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner at the Costa Rican Embassy yesterday sporting what would appear to be a baby bump. 
Now the rumors of a pregnancy are flying and by the look of it they may be true. I have never seen Pamela with anything other than a pancake flat abdomen. Then again she could be bloated or might have just finished a big meal. However, if she is pregnant, who’s the father? Criss Angel????
Rick Salomon????
Who knows Pamela seems to have a different man every month.

Various sources have confirmed that the newlyweds, Beyonce and Jay-Z are indeed expecting a baby. Which explains to us the reason for their surprise wedding.
A source close to the couple revealed, “Beyonce is 100% pregnant, which is why the couple rushed their wedding.” The source also told Hollyscoop that all those who attended the wedding knew of the pregnancy already.
The power house singer is in the early stages of her pregnancy, so don’t expect her to come out about the news any time soon, especially since the couple is very private about their personal lives

Here’s soon-to-be mommy Alessandra Ambrosio out and about looking just as pregnant as ever. It’s nice to see that she isn’t hiding out trying to conceal her pregnancy. Of course, all the guys can’t wait until she’s back to her normal self like before she got knocked up. She did give us some pretty good pictures, or can you even remember back that far?
Any guesses on the name of Alessandra’s baby? I’m going with Javier!
