Britney Spears Wears a Bikini For a Weekend Getaway With Her Man

Britney Spears slipped into a bright blue bikini to spend the holiday weekend by the pool with her boyfriend, David Lucado, at a resort in Rancho Palos Verdes, CA.

Britney Spears slipped into a bright blue bikini to spend the holiday weekend by the pool with her boyfriend, David Lucado, at a resort in Rancho Palos Verdes, CA. On Sunday, the couple cooled off in the water before changing into comfy clothes and taking a spin around the property in a golf cart, showing some sweet PDA along the way. They went for a romantic stroll through downtown Palos Verdes while shopping for antiques on Memorial Day — and Britney tweeted her thanks "to the brave men and women who serve this country," along with a throwback photo of herself in a patriotic ensemble to celebrate.

Britney has been sticking close to home in LA lately, balancing family fun with multiple new projects. She hit the stage earlier this month to host KIIS FM's Wango Tango concert and has reportedly begun recording her eighth studio album this week with executive producer Will.i.am. She has also been spotted frequenting dance studios and rehearsal spaces around town — likely in preparation for her Las Vegas residency at Planet Hollywood this Fall.

Heather Graham sported a printed bikini while hanging out at Ipanema Beach in Rio de Janeiro on Tuesday. She splashed around in the waves with her The Hangover Part III costar Ken Jeong before leaving in a red dress and oversize sun hat. But Heather and Ken weren't the only cast members enjoying some downtime on the beach. Nearby, Ed Helms and Zach Galifianakis hung out on the shore in tiny, colorful swim trunks, while Justin Bartha showed PDA with his fiancée, Lia Smith, after a jog near the water. Bradley Cooper also joined the group, walking along the beach before sitting down on a blanket with director Todd Phillips.

The group is in Brazil to promote the third and final installment of the Hangover franchise and arrived in Rio after premiering the movie in Paris over the weekend. Earlier in the day, Bradley spent time shirtless on his hotel balcony, snapping photos of the scenery on his iPhone. The actor has been making sure to document his trip overseas, and even took pictures with fans on the red carpet during the film's Paris and London screenings. In addition to having photography skills, Bradley is in the running for our POPSUGAR 100 contest, so make sure to vote for him!

Summer Style That Cooks: What to Wear to Your Memorial Day BBQ

One of our favorite things about Summer is being outside and basking in the sun.

One of our favorite things about Summer is being outside and basking in the sun. With the amazing weather and late-night sunsets, there are endless opportunities to do so. Beach days, barbecues, and evenings spent enjoying cocktails on the patio are all crucial seasonal experiences and require equally cute, Summer-ready ensembles — and Memorial Day is just the tip of the iceberg. The biggest things to be mindful of when dressing for an outdoor fete are your hemlines (in case you want to sit cross-legged on that picnic blanket), your accessories (superlong necklaces can be cumbersome), and your choice of footwear (heels sinking into grass are never a good thing). We're helping you find the perfect fashion formula by styling up three examples of what to wear when you're invited to an outdoor bash. Click through to see and shop them all now.

Kerry Washington and Michelle Obama Bring Dance Moves and Wise Words to DC Kids

Kerry Washington teamed up with Michelle Obama to honor students and teachers at Savoy Elementary School in Washington DC today.

Kerry Washington teamed up with Michelle Obama to honor students and teachers at Savoy Elementary School in Washington DC today. Both ladies spent time singing, dancing, and performing with the kids on stage, and the first lady made a special trip to one of the classrooms to show off her exercise skills and yoga moves. Between the fun, Michelle spoke to the students and faculty about the importance of overcoming failure — a valuable and encouraging message for Savoy. The school, which was once one of the lowest-performing in the District of Columbia, has shown significant signs of improvement since being designated as one of eight institutions selected for the Turnaround Arts Initiative by the President's Committee on the Arts and the Humanities in 2012.

Celebrities like Kerry Washington, Forest Whitaker, and Sarah Jessica Parker joined the Obama administration in those efforts to help turn around failing schools by integrating arts education. While on stage today, Michelle took the opportunity to use Kerry as an example of conquering setbacks in life, telling the crowd that the Scandal star made it big by not getting discouraged by rejection in her career. "She spent a lot of time practicing and working and trying out for things and having people tell her no," the first lady said, adding, "Could you imagine somebody telling Kerry that she wasn't pretty enough, she wasn't tall enough, she was too short? That's all performing is."

Brits and the City! Andrew Garfield Teams Up With Tom Sturridge

Andrew Garfield and Tom Sturridge spent a pretty adorable day together in NYC yesterday.

Andrew Garfield and Tom Sturridge spent a pretty adorable day together in NYC yesterday. The British buddies had lunch together at Bubby's in TriBeCa, then took Andrew's dog for a stroll before heading back to his apartment. The two pals talked and laughed as they made their way around town.

Both Andrew and Tom have been holed up in Manhattan recently while balancing work and time with loved ones. Tom wrapped up his stint on Broadway with the final production of Orphans last week, and Andrew has been busy filming The Amazing Spider-Man 2 with Emma Stone. The couple broke from shooting to show PDA while supporting Emma's mother at a breast cancer research benefit earlier this week, but that wasn't the end of Andrew's do-gooding. The actor may have surprised a group of neighborhood kids when he showed up on the basketball court to shoot hoops with them while reportedly dressed in his infamous Spidey costume.

Matt Damon and his wife, Luciana, took their girls for a sunny outdoor lunch at the Eden Roc Hotel in Antibes, France, yesterday. Matt sipped white wine and shared a sweet moment with his daughter Gia, showing her the water and pointing out some sights. Matt brought his clan along to Cannes while he promotes Behind the Candelabra, which debuts on HBO this Sunday. The family lunch was just part of a busy day for the actor — he attended a photocall for the film with his costar Michael Douglas and later hit the red carpet with Luciana for the movie's premiere, where he snapped photos of all the fun on his cell phone. In addition to his small-screen project, Matt has also been busy promoting the upcoming sci-fi flick Elysium. He screened trailers for the blockbuster in Mexico and Berlin late last month and will likely make the rounds with costars Jodie Foster and Diego Luna before the film hits theaters in August.
