Jessica Alba and Hayden Panettiere Lead Our Bikini Summer Funtime Picks

The summer solstice won't occur for about three more weeks, but for all intents and purposes, summer is here in the Northern Hemisphere. The sun is out, temps are out, and girls clothes are coming off. This is a very good thing. And our favorite time of the year.

In celebration of early summer, we put together 25 pictures of some of our most sextastic celebrity favorites sizzling in bikinis in or around the beach. If I saw any one of these hotties, I'd have to bury a part of myself in the sand to save embarrassment. All of them combined and I'd surely and simply explode. See if names like Hayden, Jessica, Claudia, and Alessandra don't get you in the summer season mood. Enjoy.
