KIM KARDASHIAN WANTS TO COOL OFF

Not sure if it was that 100 degree plus heat wave earlier this month in Hidden Hills that drove Kim Kardashian to purchase a beach house, but she DID. In a big way, according to Dirt. Kim paid 70.4 million for a 7500 sq ft, 4 bedroom, 5.5 bath estate in Malibu. The lushly landscaped 3 acre property is the biggest Malibu sale this year. Her kids are going to be thrilled – besides an ocean view, the place has stairs leading down to it’s own secluded beach. Kanye might not be so happy – the house is almost 15 miles from his Brutalist Malibu home, so they won’t be neighbors…

SEAN MENDES PICKS AN ODD PLACE TO MEDITATE

He just broke up with his girlfriend Camila Cabello, so singer Shawn Mendes was on his own for a change on the beach in Miami. He had no shortage of admiring glances from female fans, but after a swim he settled down to meditate by the shore. Shawn credits meditation with helping him deal with anxiety and he’s SO into it that he now offers “Breathe Into It” classes on the Calm app. What we cannot figure out is WHY he would choose to meditate on a busy and noisy beach with strangers staring at him? It’s challenging enough to meditate alone in a quiet room…

KATY PERRY: WORST BEACH LOOK EVER

Okay, Katy Perry has REALLY white skin and has to be careful under the sun, but is that an excuse to enjoy a beach outing looking like THIS? Nobody would have recognized her if she was alone, but Orlando Bloom was also in their group, and looking quite good. (Katy’s mom is right behind her and Daisy is in her arms.) But Katy, that AWFUL hat and that equally unflattering muumuu beach cover is a criminal combination for such an attractive woman, and in this case, even the mask is not flattering. (As we all know, some people look BETTER in a mask.) You don’t have to be stick-thin to look decent on the beach. In this get-up, she could be mistaken for Orlando’s mother. Has Katy forgotten that she is more than a mom- she’s a major celebrity!

BETHENNY FRANKEL: FLIRTING WITH DISASTER?

Are we alone in thinking it’s not a great idea to go to the beach wearing a million dollar ring? Former Real Housewife Bethenny Frankel, 50, is being very coy about her sudden engagement to her boyfriend Paul Bernon, 43, but she’s been happily flashing a HUGE ring. So huge, that observers have been estimating its value at around a million dollars. Her new fiancé Paul is a real estate developer and comes from a wealthy family, but his net worth is estimated at less than half of Bethenny’s, so the ring is QUITE generous. Why Bethenny would choose to casually wear this ring on a Boca Raton beach is puzzling. Would YOU put on a million dollar ring to go the beach? Does she think it’s not worth that much? IS it not as valuable as it looks? One errant wave and it could slide right off her finger…

IRELAND BALDWIN WANTS A TAN IN THE WORST WAY

Ireland Baldwin and her musician boyfriend Corey Harper seem to spend very spare minute on the beach. (What else is there to do?) This weekend they brought her Dachshund along and Corey took him for a wild ride on his bodyboard in the surf, but Ireland consoled the pup afterward. Ireland is an animal fanatic like her mother Kim Basinger – she posed for PETA 24 years after her mother did. Besides her mother’s good looks, Ireland inherited her white skin so she burns easily and tanning is a challenge, but she keeps trying…

Every time he gets a break in his schedule, Bravo’s Andy Cohen heads to Miami and it’s evident that he’s been working on his physique. Before he hit the beach this weekend, he had a strenuous workout with his trainer. Tonight he’s back on “Watch What Happens Live” with a tan and he talks to Rashida Jones about what it’s like to be a biracial actress in Hollywood.
