Damn. She was one of the stars of High School whaaaa? No, your eyes aren't playing tricks on you. That is, indeed, Ashley Tisdale on Maxim's cover -- as in High School Musical star, Ashley Tisdale.

But she's all grown up now -- 27, in fact. And her side-boob doesn't appear to show any traces of the former Disney girl she once was either.

And we should probably feel a bit naughty even mentioning the frilly underwear she appears to be starting to pull off in this shot. If she was going for in-your-face sexy, she certainly achieved it.

Stop the madness! The current issue of Self magazine purports to have Gwyneth Paltrow on its cover, but to me it looks more like a wax museum statue of the actress/singer/Goopy expert. Will we ever stop getting these crazily airbrushed versions of already beautiful people? EVER?

I just hate, hate, hate the message that the Self cover (and so many covers like it) sends. Paltrow is a gorgeous woman (however annoying you may find the Goopster, you have to admit she’s purty) who is in incredible shape. And they STILL have to Photoshop her almost beyond recognition. What does that say for the rest of us? 

Wow. I mean, WOW. If you haven't seen Katie Holmes' new photos in Allure magazine, you're really missing out on something special. And no, I'm not calling her Allure cover shoot special because she happens to be topless (though you really can't see much of anything) in the pictures.

Nope, these shots are special because Katie Holmes finally looks like (wait for it) Katie Holmes again -- the Katie Holmes we all knew and loved during her Dawson's Creek days. You know, before she was abducted by married Tom Cruise and subsequently lost her identity.

Take note, Anna Wintour (and most fashion editors for that matter!): I’ll be buying a copy of German Vogue this month, even though I won’t be able to understand much of the text. Why? Because Tina Turner, their gorgeous, accomplished cover model, has at least four decades on the typical face on the front of the vast majority of women’s magazines.

It’ll be the Queen of Rock 'n' Roll's first time on the cover of Vogue, and yes, of course, Turner’s officially the oldest person to do such a thing -- though you might remember last year’s 62-year-old U.S. Vogue cover girl ...

Do you think there's a part of Kim Kardashian that just wants to get as many photo shoots in before the baby comes as possible, just in case, I don't know, it takes her a while to get her body back to her standard of perfection? I mean, why else would she agree to dress up like a Tahitian princess for DuJour magazine. There's no other way to put this -- the photos are just random.

One minute she's a mouth-breathing drummer, the next she's forcing a sultry, eyes shut, stare-off-into-the-distance face, and the next she's all, check out my black pearl soul patch and chin strap.

Ever since she made a splash on last year's 2012 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue, the world hasn't been able to get enough of Kate Upton. It seems SI can't get enough of her either. The model has landed the cover of the Swimsuit issue for the second year in a row. The magazine, which will be available on February 12, is being "revealed" on Letterman on the 11th. However an image of the 2013 issue was leaked early Friday, and I'd say Kate makes frigid Antarctica look pretty hot.

Rocking a white fur jacket and white bikini bottom, Upton will become the ninth model to ever land the coveted cover spot twice. While personally I'm not the biggest Upton fan after watching her Cat Daddy and seeing her in one too many TOO small bikinis, I think this is awesome. Kate Upton is NOT a teeny tiny model. She has SERIOUS curves and has crazily been criticized for being "fat."

Maybe the days of too-skinny models and unrealistic expectations are fading. Maybe.

If you haven't heard the buzz about W magazine's movie issue with cover girl Emma Stone, you've been living under a rock slash have a life. But it's something worth taking a moment to look at because this issue, in my opinion, has some of the best photos of celebrities ever taken. The pictures show 33 of this year's brightest stars and are like none you've ever seen before. The low-tech, single-source, hard-edge flash we've seen used time and time again in Terry Richardson photos is utilized here by photographer Juergen Teller and makes stars like Kristen Stewart, Naomi Watts, and Nicole Kidman look like scared yet strong, accessible, makeup-free humans.

Did I mention I love it? Because I love it I love it I love it.

Holy abs, Beyonce. The bombshell graces the cover of February's edition of GQ magazine, and it's no wonder they ranked her at the top of the list of the "100 Sexiest Women of the 21st Century." Look at that picture -- you can't argue with that.

There she is in tiny leopard print underwear with a cut-off football jersey that barely covers her girls. Her hair is tousled; her eyes are the definition of "bedroom eyes"; and those curves are killer. If that's not sexy, I don't know what is.
