Stars sport summer swimwear

LeAnn Rimes, Vanessa Hudgens, Beyonce, and other celebs show off their beach style.

Lots of celebs live in sunny Southern California, but they can still enjoy a beach vacation like everyone else! LeAnn Rimes and Eddie Cibrian were all smiles while wading in the waters of Maui, Hawaii. Though the country singer proudly showed off her physique in a cute bikini, her hunky hubby unfortunately kept his six-pack abs under wraps!

Also photographed in the Aloha State was Scarlett Johansson, who sported a blue bikini while taking a dip.

Just three months after giving birth to her daughter Blue Ivy, Beyonce slipped into a black one-piece while vacationing with her family in St. Barts.

Vanessa Hudgens and her boyfriend, Austin Butler, looked like they were having fun in the Hawaiian sun. While the "Sucker Punch" star strutted her stuff in a red two-piece, her actor boyfriend opted for a cute pair of printed swim trunks.

Paris Hilton is always ready for a photo op. The hotel heiress popped a pose in blue cut-out bathing suit, big white sunglasses, and a hippie headband while visiting Australia's Bondi Beach. Someone needs to tell Paris that less is more!

Another star spotted over-accessorizing for a day at the beach was Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler, who kicked up some sand in Maui while wearing striped shorts, a straw hat, a necklace, two bracelets, and two pairs of sunglasses!
AnnaLynne McCord didn't have to travel far to catch some rays. The "90210" hottie worked on her tan at a Los Angeles beach while wearing a purple print two-piece. To beat the heat, the actress cooled down with a popsicle.

Talk about a "skinnygirl"! Reality star-turned-talk show host Bethenny Frankel showed off her fab physique in a black embellished string bikini during a trip to Miami Beach.

Also spotted in the Sunshine State, Bethenny's former co-star, LuAnn de Lesseps, who was a Wilhelmina model and Miss Connecticut contestant before she became one of "The Real Housewives of New York,” wore a turquoise two-piece that practically matched the water.

Another Miami Beach-goer was Mischa Barton, who paired her cute black-and-white polka-dot bikini top with high-waisted sailor shorts.

Sail Rock — A Monument of Nature

Sail Rock, or Parus Rock, is a natural sandstone monolith of late Cretaceous age located on the shore of the Black Sea, in Krasnodar Krai, Russia. It resembles the outline of a ship's sail, hence its name. 03 more images after the break...

The monolith lies 17 km to the southeast of Gelendzhik, near the village of Praskoveyevka (which is about 500 meters from the coast) and the farmstead of Dzhankhot (approximately twice that distance from the coast). Sail Rock has a sheer vertical slope confronting the shore of sea, isolated from the mass of basic rock by geological forces. It is more than three-fourths revealed by the tide and lies perpendicular to the coast. What is most remarkable about this landmark is its proportions. While the cliff is only a little more than a meter thick, its height is about 25 meters and its length about 20. Thus, the form of the cliff is described as resembling the outline of a quadrangular sail.

An opening of unclear origin is located in the sail, approximatively 2.5 meters above the ground. Many guides state that the formation was a defense against mountain artillery during the Caucasian War. However, this version of the origin of the opening is under some doubt. In 1903, S. Vasyukov, who was investigating the Black Sea coast, wrote after the inspection of the cliff that it was "[..] shot from a battleship by seamen, they released 4 projectiles, but the wall remained firm, although the traces are noticeable, but they nowhere opened the rock.

Go Hard or Go Home- Fantastic Pictures Of A Spring Break, College Experience

Spring break (also known as March break, study week, reading week or the Easter holidays in the United Kingdom and some parts of Canada) is a recess in early spring at universities and schools in the United States, Canada, China, Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Mexico, the United Kingdom, and other countries. Spring break starts for some schools in mid February and starts as late as the second week in April, but most will be taking spring break in March. Spring Break is celebrated in all kinds of ways and in all kinds of places, from beach vacations to action-packed cities to ski trips in top ski resorts around the world. No matter how you plan to celebrate, the essential part of it all is to plan thoroughly and well in advance so you’re not stuck missing out.

There are some tried and true Spring Break destinations welcoming people from all over the world every year without fail. One of those destinations is Cancun, which becomes congested with partiers for the entire duration. Popular destinations outside the United States include Cabo San Lucas, Acapulco, Barbados, Mazatlán, Puerto Vallarta, Dominican Republic, Jamaica, the Bahamas, the Turks and Caicos Islands and Varadero, Cuba and Caribbean.

The quintessential college experience, a time to let loose and go crazy, it’s something that every college student looks forward to. Miles of sandy beaches, sunny island temperatures… and a never-ending supply of booze, parties and blasting music. Beer bongs, writhing bodies and a relentless need to keep the party going 24/7—Spring Break down South is more than a little bit aggressive. Students seem to come from far and wide, but one thing they definitely share is a ‘Go Hard or Go Home’ attitude that just doesn’t quit.

Spring Break is shown on every TV show involving college students, never failing to portray the insane experiences participants go through. MTV Spring Break 2012 was a sure-fire hit this year with tons of scheduled events happening in Las Vegas, the official headquarters and one of the most exciting party destinations in the world.
