"I'm bringin' sexy back," Pitch Perfect's Kendrick joked, referencing Justin Timberlake's 2006 hit single "SexyBack" when sharing this snapshot from a trip to Puerto Rico. "'No tans lines' doesn't have scandalous implications for me. I'm basically see-through."

"I don't feel the need to be super-skinny, but being in shape is important," explains Refaeli, who practices martial arts-based Krav Maga. "My trainer taught me all kinds of kicks and they work everywhere -- your abs, your butt."

"It wasn't easy. It's a lot of hard work," pro wrestler Dwayne Johnson told USA Today of bulking up to play a bodybuilder in Pain & Gain opposite Mark Wahlberg. The actor said his added muscle appeared much larger on the big screen than it really was. "Onscreen, that small amount of extra pounds translates to 50 pounds, making my character look like an 800-pound silverback gorilla just released from jail."

 To keep her bikini bod (seen here in a carefree snap posted to Twitter) in perfect shape, the Shameless actress tries to cook for herself as often as possible. "I like making some vegan dishes, although I'm not vegan. I like making scrambled tofu with spinach and rice pilaf in a curry sauce," the actress tells Us. "Lots of good flavors you can add without adding too many unhealthy fats."

The tattoo-covered singer -- who went shirtless with band mates Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne and Louis Tomlinson in One Direction's "Kiss You" video -- posed for an Instagram pic with English footballer Danny Simpson. After Styles' visit to Newcastle United's training camp, Simpson posted the pic to Instagram with the caption "proper safe guy."

"Island speed," the America's Got Talent judge captioned this Twitter shot from a vacation getaway, which showed her lying on her stomach (and flashing sideboob), tanning topless in only black bikini bottoms.

How does Bieber maintain his sexy six-pack? "He's pretty good about his diet," his voice coach Jan Smith tells Us. "He eats healthy. He doesn't eat a lot of junk food."

"I like to jog and I try to focus on floor-based Pilates to strengthen and lengthen," the super-fit Extra cohost (showing her midriff in a Twitter snapshot) tells Us. "I'm not someone who carries any kind of serious routine. I try to keep a healthy attitude about it. I deal with whatever it is. The most I will do before a beach trip is run a few nights before."

Welcoming twins Moroccan and Monroe in April 2011, the American Idol judge dropped 30 pounds in just three months by following a Jenny (formerly Jenny Craig)-approved diet and exercise routine."I feel incredible," the "#Beautiful" singer (pictured here in a Twitter snap from April 2013) said when unveiling her stunning weight loss in Us Weekly. "I'm proud of how hard I worked to get my body back...I had to do this for me."

No stranger to posting selfies on social media, Cyrus flashed her abs in a Twitter picture, which featured her in a bra top and studded leather jacket. In a recent interview with Elle U.K., Cyrus claimed she doesn't want to oversell her sex appeal. "A star is someone who doesn't have to take her clothes off to be sexy because you naturally have star power," she told Elle. "Sex does sell, but you have to find a way that's not just showing your tits. I don't want to be a glorified model."

"I don't mind the fascination . . . People are sitting in the barbershop talking about my butt. It's conversational," Minaj (posing in sky high heels and a curve-hugging pink frock on Twitter) told MTV in 2011. "That's what people are gonna do. As long as they're talking about Nicki Minaj, I'm good."

Amanda Bynes on Arrest: "I'm Suing NYPD" Because "You Can't Lock Up An Innocent Person!"

Amanda Bynes isn't too keen on staying quiet about her recent arrest. The former Nickelodeon child star took to Twitter on Monday, May 27, to tell her side of the story and to inform fans that she's planning on taking legal action against the NYPD for lying, sexually harassing her, and checking her into a mental hospital against her will.

"For once and for all, this is the last thing I'll say about the mistaken arrest," she begins her lengthy Twitter post. "I'm suing NYPD for illegally entering my apartment, lying about drugs on me and lying about me tampering with non existent drug paraphernalia, then I'm suing for being put into a mental hospital against my will, then locked up overnight for coming home after a facial and working out with my trainer like the good girl that I am."

Bynes, 27, then goes on to say that she was "offended" that the police would dare to take her to a mental hospital, and that she is "so proud to not be a drug or alcohol user."

On Thursday, May 23, Bynes was taken into custody and charged with marijuana possession, attempted evidence tampering and reckless endangerment after she was reportedly spotted smoking in the lobby of her New York apartment building. When police officers responded to a call from the building personnel, Bynes invited them into her apartment, which smelled of marijuana and had a bong inside.

According to a spokesperson for the NYPD, Bynes allegedly threw the bong out the window and then "did not resist arrest." The troubled star reportedly argued that it was "just a vase," TMZ reported. The spokesperson told Us that Bynes "did not resist arrest."

Bynes recounted a different series of events, however, tweeting two days later that the reports of her arrest were "all lies."

"I was sexually harassed by one of the cops the night before last which is who then arrested me," she tweeted. "He lied and said I threw a bong out the window when I opened the window for fresh air. Hilarious. He slapped my vagina. Sexual harassment. Big deal. I then called the cops on him. He handcuffed me, which I resisted, quite unlike any of the reports stated. Then I was sent to a mental hospital. Offensive. I kept asking for my lawyer but they wouldn't let me."

On Friday, May 24, Judge Neil Ross warned the Easy A actress that if she doesn't show up to her scheduled court appearance on July 9, he will "set a significant bail." Bynes was then summarily released on her own recognizance.

Bynes' main concerns at the moment aren't about her place in the legal system, however. The actress finished off her long Twitter rant on Monday with a hint at her future endeavors.

"I'm free forever! You can't lock up an innocent person!" she tweeted to her fans. "Thanks for caring@ Look forward to seeing me in music videos! I'm getting in shape and getting a nose job! I'm looking forward to a long and wonderful career as a singer/rapper!"

Debbie was the younger sister of Marcheline Bertrand, Jolie's late mother. Bertrand died in 2007 at the age of 56 after a long battle with ovarian cancer.

Earlier this month, Jolie, 37, revealed she recently had a preventative double mastectomy after learning she carries the BRCA1 breast cancer gene. Brad Pitt's fiancee and mother of six decided to undergo the surgery to minimize her risk. "I can tell my children that they don't need to fear they will lose me to breast cancer," she said in her essay for the New York Times.

Jolie's uncle fully supports her decision.
"We have seen Angelina a number of times since Debbie was diagnosed with breast cancer and Debbie and I were both very proud of her recent decision to have the double mastectomy," he told E! News, "and to do everything she can to keep her family from having to go through what we've been through."
