EXCLUSIVE: Kim Kardashian Lounges in a Bikini Just Five Days Before Giving Birth

Kim Kardashian gave birth to a baby girl on Saturday, but just five days before delivering her first child, she was lounging poolside. Kim showed off her pregnant stomach in a skimpy bikini while hanging out at a spa in LA with friends, including Robin Antin and makeup artist Joyce Bonelli. The ladies snacked on a fruit and cheese plate during their three-and-a-half-hour stay, and while Robin and Joyce drank cocktails, Kim sipped on pink lemonade. The sunny afternoon wasn't the first time Kim flaunted her baby bump in a bikini during her pregnancy, since we also saw her in a two-piece during her family getaway to Greece back in April.

Kim and her boyfriend, Kanye West, may have welcomed their daughter a little earlier than her expected July arrival, but Kim seems to be enjoying motherhood already. She sent an email to Ryan Seacrest proclaiming that "It's so crazy!" and her sister Khloé shared that both "mommy and baby are healthy & resting." Kim has yet to reveal the baby's name, though sources say that she and Kanye are close to picking a moniker for their little one.

Ashley Greene and Vanessa Hudgens showed off their bikini bodies — and athleticism — at Oakley's Learn to Ride event in Bali, Indonesia, today. The ladies both hopped on surfboards to catch a few waves at the event, which serves to promote the sport of surfing. Ashley and Vanessa were sharing the perfect conditions with pro surfers since the event coincided with Oakley's Pro Bali surf competition as well. Although Ashley was able to successfully ride the waves, she did not escape the day without injury. She shared a picture of her leg, which was covered in scrapes, on her Twitter account, writing, "War wound from surfing today with Oakley. The reef ate me up." While Ashley and Vanessa were enthusiastic to try their hand at the water sport, the girls did find time to relax and soak in the Indonesian rays on a boat during the day as well.

Strapless RX: 3 Moves For a Summer of Tank Tops

Summer is all about showing skin, but if strapless dresses and tank tops don't enthuse you, here are three ways to stand taller and tone back and shoulder muscles to look your best in any outfit.

Summer is all about showing skin, but if strapless dresses and tank tops don't enthuse you, here are three ways to stand taller and tone back and shoulder muscles to look your best in any outfit. Incorporate these moves into your daily routine to see results before you know it.

Lying Overhead Reach

  • Lie on your stomach with your toes touching your mat and heels facing the ceiling. Lift your chest up as high as possible, using your lower back muscles to lift.
  • Place your arms straight at your side with your palms facing down. In one fluid motion, move your arms from your side to over your head, extended straight with hands touching in front of your head. Make sure you keep your chest and head up while your arms reach overhead.
  • Return hands back to starting position to complete one rep. Do 15-20 reps.
  • See how to do the lying overhead reach here.

Tipping Row

Work your posterior muscles, like your hamstrings, butt, and upper back, to stand tall and look toned. You'll need a set of dumbbells to do this move.

  • Start by grabbing a set of five- to eight-pound dumbbells and standing with your feet hip-width apart, holding the dumbbells by your side. Lift one leg back and tip your torso forward so you are balancing on the opposite leg.
  • Once your body is parallel to the floor, your arms should be straight, facing the floor. Move your arms in a rowing motion by bending your elbows and pulling them back, pushing your shoulder blades together.
  • Complete the row by extending your arms back down to the floor. Come back to standing position.
  • Do two to three sets of 10 on each leg.

Up-Down Plank

The act of moving up and down in this plank variation will help sculpt your arms and shoulders.

  • Come into a plank position with your arms and legs straight; hands should be underneath your shoulders and your feet hips-width distance apart. Engage your core and keep your back neutral — keep your navel drawn in so you don't create a curve in your lower back.
  • Keeping your torso parallel to the floor, lower your right forearm to the mat and then the left, coming into elbow plank (resting on your forearms). Then step your right hand back onto the mat, and then the left, pushing yourself back up to plank position. Try to avoid swaying the torso from side to side.
  • Repeat for a total of 10 reps, and then reverse the direction for another 10 reps. See the up-down plank in action in our video.

Rock Your Belly in a Bikini With the Block Pass

Skip basic crunches, and try this fun move that targets the entire ab section.

Skip basic crunches, and try this fun move that targets the entire ab section. Similar to the ball-pass exercise, you'll use a block instead, and it only takes a few reps before you'll start to feel the burn. Not only will you work your abs, but squeezing the block between your feet also tones your inner thighs.

  • Grab a block and lie on your back. Engage your core and actively press your spine toward the floor.
  • Place the block between your feet and on an exhale, slowly and simultaneously lower your hands and feet toward the floor, making sure your back is flush with the floor the entire time. If you find this is too difficult, bend your knees slightly.

  • Stop once your hands are a few inches from the ground; then inhale as you slowly raise them back up, reaching for the block.

  • Grab the block with your hands, flex your feet and lower your hands and feet again until they are a few inches from the floor.
  • Rise back up and pass the block to your feet. This counts as one rep.
  • Try to complete 10 reps.

Mariah Carey Keeps the Bikini Fun Coming in Capri

Mariah Carey wore two different tiny swimsuits while filming in Southern Italy with fellow recording artist Miguel yesterday.

Mariah Carey wore two different tiny swimsuits while filming in Southern Italy with fellow recording artist Miguel yesterday. The pop icon showed off her fit physique when she shared a photo collage of herself in a black cutout monokini on Twitter with the caption, "Behind the scenes on set with @MiguelUnlimited!! Coming soon." As part of the shoot, Mariah and Miguel went swimming in the blue grotto, off the island of Capri, and hopped on a yacht after climbing out of the water. The duo have been spending time together since collaborating on the song "Beautiful," which was released last month and is a track off Mariah's highly anticipated 13th studio album. The album, the official title of which has yet to be released, will drop July 23.

Much of the hype may be due to Mariah's frequent Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram teases. While she announced the album release date on her personal accounts, Mariah also took to Instagram yesterday to share a personal snap of herself in blue waters with the caption: "A much needed splash after hours pon de mic singing for my beautiful lambily." In the post, she was addressing her fan base and revealed that her new work encompasses "three years of my soul." Mariah has returned to song-making after announcing last month that she will be not be returning for the next season of Fox's American Idol.
