Model mom Adriana Lima and her adorable 1 1/2-year-old daughter Valentina enjoyed a day of sun and surf in Miami, Florida on Sunday (July 24). The pretty pair went for a dip together while enjoying South Beach.
"It was the best thing that can happen to my life," the Brazilian beauty recently said of becoming a mom. "During pregnancy it was great. Those pregnancy hormones did wonders to me. I feel much more beautiful, sexier, more womanly. I think my hair, my skin is much better now."

Cincinnati Bengals running back Cedric Benson was accused of beating up his former roommate Clavens Charles and we have new info connected to the case. Get the deets inside....
According to a police report filed by Clavens Charles, he and former roommate had a serious altercation over failed talks regarding their living situation.
Clavens said the argument led to him getting pummeled by Cedric's fists and leaving him in pain....and stitches. Clavens was then treated at a local hospital near where the incident happened in Texas.
Meanwhile, Cedric's lawyer released a statement saying Clavens is trying to extort money from Cedric and that Cedric was provoke during the attack. Claven's lawyer counters that the assault was vicious and unprovoked.
See Clavens' injuries here in an image just released today, and decide if you think Cedric was provoked. If he was, Clavens must have really upset him because Cedric beat him bloody. Clavens says he already has thousands in medical bills.

Pouring his heart out after losing a dear friend, Russell Brand has penned an emotional farewell message while remembering recently departed singer Amy Winehouse.
The post comes after Miss Winehouse was found dead at her London home on Saturday (July 23), with cause of death still to be determined pending an official autopsy.
With Brand titling the post "Dear Amy," the comedic actor's statement is as follows:
"When you love someone who suffers from the disease of addiction you await the phone call. There will be a phone call. The sincere hope is that the call will be from the addict themselves, telling you they?ve had enough, that they?re ready to stop, ready to try something new. Of course though, you fear the other call, the sad nocturnal chime from a friend or relative telling you it?s too late, she?s gone.
Frustratingly it?s not a call you can ever make it must be received. It is impossible to intervene.
I?ve known Amy Winehouse for years. When I first met her around Camden she was just some twit in a pink satin jacket shuffling round bars with mutual friends, most of whom were in cool Indie bands or peripheral Camden figures Withnail-ing their way through life on impotent charisma. Carl Barrat told me that ?Winehouse? (which I usually called her and got a kick out of cos it?s kind of funny to call a girl by her surname) was a jazz singer, which struck me as a bizarrely anomalous in that crowd. To me with my limited musical knowledge this information placed Amy beyond an invisible boundary of relevance; ?Jazz singer? She must be some kind of eccentric? I thought. I chatted to her anyway though, she was after all, a girl, and she was sweet and peculiar but most of all vulnerable.
I was myself at that time barely out of rehab and was thirstily seeking less complicated women so I barely reflected on the now glaringly obvious fact that Winehouse and I shared an affliction, the disease of addiction. All addicts, regardless of the substance or their social status share a consistent and obvious symptom; they?re not quite present when you talk to them. They communicate to you through a barely discernible but un-ignorable veil. Whether a homeless smack head troubling you for 50p for a cup of tea or a coked-up, pinstriped exec foaming off about his ?speedboat? there is a toxic aura that prevents connection. They have about them the air of elsewhere, that they?re looking through you to somewhere else they?d rather be. And of course they are. The priority of any addict is to anaesthetise the pain of living to ease the passage of the day with some purchased relief.
From time to time I?d bump into Amy she had good banter so we could chat a bit and have a laugh, she was ?a character? but that world was riddled with half cut, doped up chancers, I was one of them, even in early recovery I was kept afloat only by clinging to the bodies of strangers so Winehouse, but for her gentle quirks didn?t especially register.
Then she became massively famous and I was pleased to see her acknowledged but mostly baffled because I?d not experienced her work and this not being the 1950?s I wondered how a ?jazz singer? had achieved such cultural prominence. I wasn?t curious enough to do anything so extreme as listen to her music or go to one of her gigs, I was becoming famous myself at the time and that was an all consuming experience. It was only by chance that I attended a Paul Weller gig at the Roundhouse that I ever saw her live.
I arrived late and as I made my way to the audience through the plastic smiles and plastic cups I heard the rolling, wondrous resonance of a female vocal. Entering the space I saw Amy on stage with Weller and his band; and then the awe. The awe that envelops when witnessing a genius. From her oddly dainty presence that voice, a voice that seemed not to come from her but from somewhere beyond even Billie and Ella, from the font of all greatness. A voice that was filled with such power and pain that it was at once entirely human yet laced with the divine. My ears, my mouth, my heart and mind all instantly opened. Winehouse. Winehouse? Winehouse! That twerp, all eyeliner and lager dithering up Chalk Farm Road under a back-combed barnet, the lips that I?d only seen clenching a fishwife fag and dribbling curses now a portal for this holy sound. So now I knew. She wasn?t just some hapless wannabe, yet another pissed up nit who was never gonna make it, nor was she even a ten-a-penny-chanteuse enjoying her fifteen minutes. She was a fucking genius.
Shallow fool that I am I now regarded her in a different light, the light that blazed down from heaven when she sang. That lit her up now and a new phase in our friendship began. She came on a few of my TV and radio shows, I still saw her about but now attended to her with a little more interest. Publicly though, Amy increasingly became defined by her addiction. Our media though is more interested in tragedy than talent, so the ink began to defect from praising her gift to chronicling her downfall. The destructive personal relationships, the blood soaked ballet slippers, the aborted shows, that youtube madness with the baby mice. In the public perception this ephemeral tittle-tattle replaced her timeless talent. This and her manner in our occasional meetings brought home to me the severity of her condition. Addiction is a serious disease; it will end with jail, mental institutions or death. I was 27 years old when through the friendship and help of Chip Somers of the treatment centre, Focus12 I found recovery, through Focus I was introduced to support fellowships for alcoholics and drug addicts which are very easy to find and open to anybody with a desire to stop drinking and without which I would not be alive.
Now Amy Winehouse is dead, like many others whose unnecessary deaths have been retrospectively romanticised, at 27 years old. Whether this tragedy was preventable or not is now irrelevant. It is not preventable today. We have lost a beautiful and talented woman to this disease. Not all addicts have Amy?s incredible talent. Or Kurt?s or Jimi?s or Janis?s, some people just get the affliction. All we can do is adapt the way we view this condition, not as a crime or a romantic affectation but as a disease that will kill. We need to review the way society treats addicts, not as criminals but as sick people in need of care. We need to look at the way our government funds rehabilitation. It is cheaper to rehabilitate an addict than to send them to prison, so criminalisation doesn?t even make economic sense. Not all of us know someone with the incredible talent that Amy had but we all know drunks and junkies and they all need help and the help is out there. All they have to do is pick up the phone and make the call. Or not. Either way, there will be a phone call."

During a progress hearing in a Los Angeles court Thursday morning, Judge Stephanie Sautner had some harsh words for Lindsay Lohan, whom she believes is not taking her probation seriously enough.
Lindsay, who recently completed 35 days under house arrest, was also sentenced to extensive community service, a fine and counseling as punishment for violating her probation. And although the 25-year-old actress claimed to be "enjoying" her time working with homeless women on Skid Row, it turns out that she has done shockingly little so far: just 33 of the 360 hours she's on the hook for serving at the Downtown Women's Shelter. And that's not even counting the 120 hours she's supposed to log mopping floors at the L.A. morgue. And Lohan must complete all of that within one year!
"She can't be nickel and diming these hours," Judge Sautner warned at today's hearing. "Trust me, she is going to get held to that deadline. She is not going to get five more minutes."
Knowing the actress's habit of relying on excuses, the judge added that she would not take exception for Lohan's movie career. "I know there is a movie deal," Judge Sautner continued. "I will not take into consideration, 'Sorry, I'm at the Gotti movie.' I will not do it. She needs to complete the community service within the year."
Lohan's negligence of her community service hours was just one item on Judge Sautner's list of grievances. She also said that the actress hadn't paid her $3,900 in legal fees (although that matter has now reportedly been settled), and that the probation department had been unable to reach her by phone. (Lindsay has apparently been foisting them off onto her poor assistant, then refusing to call them back.) Even worse, Lindsay has apparently not enrolled in the court-mandated Shoplifter Avoidance Class or the required psychological counseling.
But just wait until you hear her excuse! As Lohan's lawyer explained to the exasperated judge, Lindsay was worried that her health insurance wouldn't cover the cost of counseling. (This despite the fact that Lindsay had worn $1,200 Christian Louboutin heels to the hearing.) And no, Judge Sautner didn't buy it, either.
"She needs to get into counseling, and I am going to give her 21 days to get into counseling," said Sautner, who threatened to revoke Lohan's probation and send her back to jail if she has not enrolled by August 11.
And as for that insurance problem? "She needs to find an individual therapist that takes a credit card," suggested Sautner, whom we're now convinced is the real-life version of one of those sassy Law & Order judges.
In Lohan's defense, father Michael Lohan tells Radar Online that he suspects Lindsay is deep in debt -- and he's offered to pay for health insurance costs. Or, you know, he could just auction Lindsay's shoe collection on eBay.

Just one week away from it's much awaited debut, Victoria Justice and friends are all set to deliver a family-friendly adventure with the Victorious movie ?Locked Up!?.
The hour-long special double episode airs on Saturday, July 30th on Nickelodeon, with Miss Justice and her Hollywood Arts mates embark on a trouble-laden vacation to Yerba.
With the show's trailer available above, a complete synopsis is as follows: "The gang (plus Rex and Sikowitz) take a trip to Yerba, a foreign country. Tori thinks she planned the perfect vacation, with luxury foods and service, but lets everyone down when they are placed in a rundown hotel room with critters and insects, as well as disgusting meals. A Yerban citizen eventually shows up at the door of the gang's hotel room. It turns out he's the owner of the hotel, and promises the gang great food, an awesome hotel room, and plane fare only if they perform for the prime minister of Yerba, who will be coming to the hotel. The gang obviously agrees. But while dancing for the prime minister, Tori's shoe comes off her foot, flies across the room, and hits the prime minister in the eye. The gang is then sentenced to four years in a Yerban prison. Eventually, Tori concocts a plan to get out, which involves a hit song."
To offer further excitement, a special Walmart Soundcheck video featuring Victoria, Elizabeth Gillies and Daniella Monet has also been released (view below) - with the behind the scenes footage including a mixup of clips from next weekend's not-to-be-missed premiere of "Locked Up!"
