· To get you in the weekend mood, here's a history of the bikini in all its stringy, low-cut, belly-baring glory. It's probably the greatest invention ever, or at least since humans made the lousy decision to start wearing clothes in the first place. (theage.com.au)

· Speaking of bikinis, Jessica Alba says that she would take hers off more if the paparazzi weren't always there taking pictures; but if the paparazzi aren''t there to take pictures than what's the point of taking her top off? (egotastic.com)

· Speaking of losing your swimsuit, there seems to be some confusion over what exactly this Italian TV crew was doing while filming "Candid Camera"-style pranks on a beach in Florida. Sexy models, lost bikini tops, offended citizenry ... all we know is that we wish our cable package had more channels from Italy. (wftv.com + wesh.com)

· Speaking of sexual suggestion, NYC/LA design studio Hornet borrows a page from the porn classics of yesteryear for these new "cinematic" underwear ad specs for Diesel. The commericals aren't real porn, of course, but if everyone actually took their drawers off, what would they have to sell? (hornetinc.com, via sexblo.gs)

· Speaking of keeping your drawers on, rumor has it that Nicole Kidman is withholding sex from fiancé Keith Urban until the couple gets married in about a month. She has something old, new, and borrowed; will his balls qualify as the something blue? (femalefirst.co.uk)
