Nobody loves talking about Sofia Vergara’s body more than Sofia Vergara. But that’s not to say tons of men aren’t talking about it, too. And now we have indisputable proof.

AskMen conducted their 2012 survey of the ’99 Most Desirable Women of 2012,’ and Sofia came in at number one, beating out her number three spot from last year.

Last year’s number one was Blake Lively, who came in this year as number 32. And yes, I’m pretty sure this list doubles as Leonardo DiCaprio's 'to-do' list. K I can cross that one off, now only 75 more to go...

Sports Illustrated swimsuit model Kate Upton came in second and The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo’s Rooney Mara came in third. Talk about polar opposites. Just goes to show you ladies, no matter what you’re look is, there are men out there who love it.
Rihanna seems to be intent on proving that she’s a badass. First, she (reportedly) starts banging Chris Brown again, which is kinda like going bungee jumping after your chord snapped the first time, and now she got tattoo of the phrase “Thug Life.”

I was going to make fun of it, but she got it tatted on her knuckles. Pretty badass.

Rihanna’s ink was an homage to Tupac Shakur, who had the phrase tattooed on his stomach. She Tweeted a picture with the caption:

“All these b-tches screaming that 2pac back #THUGLIFE.”
Don't MISS out on Breaking News!
Last week, people were more pissed off about Chris Brown and Rihanna dating than they were about SOPA and PIPA.

‘Taking away our liberties is one thing, but Rihanna taking Chris Brown back?! I won’t stand for it!’

Well good news. Chris Brown and Rihanna aren’t dating! Oh yeah, and PIPA is shelved or something.

The Chris Brown and Rihanna drama continues to unfold.

Are they dating? Aren’t they? Are they love-tweeting one another? What about Chris Brown’s girlfriend Karrueche Tran? Hollywood should really pay attention and option this love triangle into a CW TV show.

Anyways, Chris Brown’s representative just released this official statement to ABC News, “He and Rihanna are just friends…he is with his girlfriend, Karrueche, and is not cheating.”

What do you believe? Rihanna’s tweets tend to tell another story.
You know, you raise your celebrities to have a good head on their shoulders and make the right decisions, and then something like this happens. Guys, we’re not angry. We’re disappointed.

Nearly three years ago, Chris Brown infamously assaulted Rihanna after getting into a violent fight with her over, I don’t know, a text message or something. Well, as it turns out, they didn’t learn their lesson, which is: 'if you gotta beat each other, you don’t need each other.' ~Geto Boyz
With everything going on in the world, sometimes it's important to stop and ask yourself one important, crucial question: If you could cheat on your wife with any celeb who would it be?!

An extra-marital dating site asked 25,000 of their perverted subscribers that same question, and Katy Perry and Rihanna came in at the top. Yet another thing these musical BFFs have in common! Married men desperately want to have sex with them.

Kim Kardashian, who was number 2 last year, fell to number 9
Rihanna has sold her Beverly Hills mansion for $5.03 million. It's less than the $6.9 million she paid for it two years ago, because the home is reportedly busted.

The listing described it as a "major fixer" which is a phrase usually reserved for one-bedroom homes near nuclear waste plants. Poor little rich girl Rihanna had been living in $5 million squalor

Fact: Don't f-ck with Rihanna.

After dutch magazine Jackie referred to Rihanna as the "Ultimate N-ggab-tch" Rihanna and fans slammed the magazine and demand that they apologize.

However, an online apology from Jackie mag wasn't enough for RiRi who fumed over the insult on her twitter account. She tweeted at the mags editor-in-chief, Eva Hoeke.
Kanye West and Adele are totally different when it comes to musical style, but one thing they have in common? They've taken over the nominations for the 54th Annual GRAMMY Awards show.

Nominees were announced Wednesday night at The GRAMMY Nominations Concert Live!!—Countdown To Music's Biggest Night.

Kanye led the nominations with seven. That should help with his ego. And Adele, Foo Fighters and Bruno Mars each got six nods.

Hollyscoop was in the press room as some of the artists discussed what it means to them to be nominated for the 2012 GRAMMYs. Bruno Mars joked, "Well, it proves that I'm the greatest right?" He then added, "It means--I'm about to get real cheesy, get ready—it means that hard work pays off."

I guess it can be a little of both.

Mars then praised Adele, who has shot to fame in 2011 with her tear-jerking hits, Rolling in the Deep and Someone Like You.
