Ben Affleck gave his daughters, Seraphina and Violet, big hugs yesterday when they arrived in Puerto Rico. He walked out onto the tarmac to greet the girls, as well as his wife Jennifer Garner, shortly after they landed in a private jet. Jennifer, meanwhile, had her own arms full carrying their young son, Samuel. It was Samuel's latest outing after a big Fourth of July. We had a first look at Samuel Affleck earlier this month on the holiday. Ben's on the Caribbean island working on his new movie, Runner, Runner, alongside costars Justin Timberlake and Anthony Mackie. Ben's back to shooting after a stint working on his own film, Argo, earlier this year.

San Diego got a star-studded dose of excitement when Comic-Con rolled into town. The annual convention brings superfans together with celebrities promoting their upcoming big- and small-screen projects, and we were right there on the scene.

Things kicked off with the cast of Breaking Dawn Part 2 before Michelle Williams joined Mila Kunis for a panel on Oz: The Great and Powerful. Matt Damon swung through with Elysium and even the Glee kids stepped out. Emily Blunt and Joseph Gordon-Levitt brought Looper and the Vampire Diaries gang gathered for press and a party. Stars from Fringe and Breaking Bad talked about their new seasons, while Robert Downey Jr. got into Tony Stark mode for Iron Man 3.

The festivities came to an end yesterday — make sure to check out all of our Comic-Con coverage and click through to see all the stars who made the Southern California scene.

Julianne Hough wore her bikini yesterday for a dip in the ocean in North Carolina — have you voted in our PopSugar bikini contest yet? Make sure to show Julianne some love, and get entered to win $500 to spend at Neiman Marcus. It didn't seem as though her boyfriend, Ryan Seacrest, was able to join in on the fun afternoon, but Julianne had her two dogs keeping her company along with a group of friends. Ryan's been busy hosting his radio show and focusing on his other varied projects. Nonetheless, Ryan hit St.-Tropez for his own getaway in late June.

Julianne was in Southport, NC, enjoying a day free from working on her latest movie, Safe Haven, with Josh Duhamel. Production on the film required that Julianne go brunette for a few scenes, but she pulled off the color change with the help of a wig. She and Josh have been tweeting all about their adventures from the set recently. Last week, they even welcomed Nicholas Sparks, who wrote the book on which their film is based, behind the scenes to check out the action.

Rihanna Shares Sexy Bikini Photos From Her Italian Getaway

Rihanna arrived in Italy for a vacation yesterday.

Rihanna arrived in Italy for a vacation yesterday. Since then, she's been snapping and sharing bikini photos as she relaxes aboard a yacht off the coast of Porto Cervo, Sardinia. Rihanna was spotted just last week in a two-piece, boating in her home country of Barbados. It seems Rihanna's ready for Summer fun after a few months of intense work, promoting Battleship and her new music. It was recently announced that Rihanna ranks third on the list of richest celebrities under 30, having pulled in a whopping $53 million in the last year alone. Twenty-four-year-old Rihanna is spending some of her hard-earned money on her trip to the Italian Riviera this week and may also be celebrating her latest movie role with the vacation. News that she'll lend her voice to the DreamWorks animated film Happy Smekday! alongside The Big Bang Theory's Jim Parsons broke just a few weeks ago. Let us know how you think Rihanna stacks up in this year's PopSugar bikini bracket for the chance to win $500 to Neiman Marcus!

Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan boarded a boat on Lake Como Saturday to take a ride together. The couple are in Italy visiting with one of Jenna's friends, Stacy Keibler, and her boyfriend, George Clooney. The Lake Como location was an easy one for Channing to get to after he and his Magic Mike costar Matthew McConaughey wrapped up a European press tour for their movie. Channing, Jenna, and Stacy all changed into fancy clothes for dinner Saturday night. They boarded a larger boat along with George and his parents, Nick and Nina, to visit Villa d'Este. Jenna wore a little red dress for the occasion, while Stacy went long in a printed maxi. Channing and Jenna's itinerary also involved a jaunt into the town of Cernobbio, though any sightseeing plans were slightly rained out. Stacy, though, was in a good mood and shared a picture of Channing behind the wheel with the caption, "Magic Mike storms Italy!" Channing and Jenna are in the mood to celebrate — last Wednesday was their third wedding anniversary.
