Star Spottings: Mariah & Nicholson Swim, Brit Brings Out The Babes & More

AROUND THE WORLD (July 9, 2007) The Fourth of July weekend was a scorcher and it was even hotter in celebland where some stars set temperatures ablaze by wearing as little as possible.

SALERNO, Italy Mariah Carey stripped down to this itsy bitsy bikini as she caught some ocean rays off the coast of Europe. The singing superstar spent her vacation on Roberto Cavallis yacht in fact, which no doubt explains why she looks so fashion fabulous accentuating her suit with some serious bling and a pair of wrap-around shades. Though she looks all by her lonesome atop the multi-million dollar cruiser, Mimi was actually hanging with a group of pals. They even seemed to take cues from the fashion world, posing glamorously, photo shoot style for their personal pics before sipping fine wine and jumping off the boat for a dip in the sea.

ST. JEAN CAP FERRAT, France Nope, thats not Tony Soprano, but rather film legend Jack Nicholson, stretching out his arms while cruising the Mediterranean this past weekend. Jack showed off his blooming physique as he frolicked in the water with friends. Despite his big belly, Jack did take it light while on board, eating just a sandwich and drinking a diet soda.

CALABASAS, LOS ANGELES, Calif. Its well known that Rebecca Romijn used to be a supermodel and Jerry OConnell used to be a chubby child so it should come as no surprises that the two continued the uphill battle to stay fit this past weekend. This time, the active couple jumped on a tandem bike on Saturday, cycling in matching tops around Calabasas, a wealthy town, not far from Malibu.

LOS ANGELES, Calif. No Star Spottings ever feels complete without a glimpse of Britney and her favorite arm candy eldest son Sean Preston. In this shot however, we get an extra treat as a raven-haired Spears brought out her elusive youngest child Jayden, whose face she is covering, on the way to church, Sunday. The man in tow, carrying Sean P remains a mystery. Hes either her bodyguard, her new beau, or possibly both. Stay tuned.

SOUTH OF FRANCE A week after he turned up with lengthened locks and a clean-shaven face at the Concert For Diana, David Beckham appeared in the South of France with a brand new look. In the last seven days, David, pictured here on the arm of wife Victoria, cut his hair short and grew out a dark brown beard. Guess hes not actually a natural blonde. Of course, with a face like that and a body like his, blonde, brunette or bald, hes still one of the most beautiful Brit boys in all celebland.

MALIBU, Calif. An out-of-jail Paris continued to make the rounds followed by her beloved paparazzi. The heiress appeared calm, and offered her trademark pout as the snappers followed her to her new rental right on the beach in Malibu. In her arms, the heiress carried three boxes of hair extensions.

BROOKLYN, NY Finally, over in New York, Aussie hunk Heath Ledger and girlfriend Michelle Williams took their baby Matilda for a walk. The couple pushed their shoeless baby girl through their trendy Brooklyn neighborhood. Michelle showed off her slim legs and her always adorable pixie cut, while Heath sported some seventies style shades and a red headscarf.
