If you're Sam Hayes and you're visiting good pal Claire Robbie (former wife of Dom Bowden and former face of TV3) you evidently pound the pavement. We'd rather have a steak with a gaucho.
Hollie Smith
BFFs Claire Chitham and Hollie Smith hit the sand at Mt Maunganui. Nothing says chilled Kiwi summer like a bikini, a towel, a cowboy hat and a bag from New World.
Willy Moon
One-hit wonder and impending co-host of The X Factor NZ, Willy Moon, can handle anything. Like the scorching 29-degree heat belting Auckland these past few days. So bizarre is his choice of get-up, words fail us. So we left it to one of his Instagram followers, who commented: "Aren't you boiling?"
Stephie Key
First Kid Stephie Key has posed naked with Japanese cooked vinegared rice covering her nether regions. She's also posed with Paris Hilton (an avid fan of filming her nether regions). La Hilton, or rather Paris, came to mind for Stephie in this name-drop/place-drop post as she left the annual Key family vacay in Hawaii to go back to school in Paris, France. We hope she stayed safe.
Jack Tame
As TV One prepares to announce who's playing Edmund Hilary in a biopic to screen on the channel this year, One News star Jack Tame channelled his inner Sir Ed by climbing a mountain. "Knocked the bastard off," he wrote in reference to Hilary's first words on Everest. We're just distracted by his tan lines.
Anna Hutchison
On a day out to Muriwai beach, Anna Hutchison colour co-ordinated the black sand to her her black bikini, and the black pooch nestled on her toosh.
Maria Tutaia
How do you solve a problem like Maria? If you're Woman's Day, send her to a Pacific Island paradise with a stylist, a snapper and a collection of saucy string bikinis, and voila: body image self-loathing by women everywhere. Injured netballer Maria Tutaia did a four-page spread in the mag this week for an undisclosed sum. She exposed her nipple in a white, wet singlet, and sipped on a Mai Tai with a frangipani behind her ear. It's tabloid fluff, not feminism. So happy is Maria with her covergirl status, she's plugging it like crazy on Instagram. What next? Sports Illustrated?
Ben Smith
Gun. Fishing rod. Dirty convertible ready for an off-roading adventure. It must be an All Black on a hunt. Or as Ben Smith prefers, "#hillbillies #hicks".
Lucy Lawless
Even schlebs get star-struck sometimes. Lucy Lawless, who has been performing the panto Sleeping Beauty at the Pasadena Playhouse in California, caught up with Seinfeld's Jason Alexander and his balding pate.
