Amy Childs shows off her curves in a pretty polkadot bikini

Amy Child

She has become one of the most well-known celebrities in the UK this year thanks to her role in The Only Way Is Essex and Celebrity Big Brother.

But her success in 2011 is nothing compared to what Amy Childs is hoping to achieve next year.

Before embarking on 2012, however, Amy decided to treat herself to a celebratory holiday in Spain with her brother Will.

The 21-year-old redhead, who now stars in her own Channel 5 reality show It's All About Amy, hit the beach in a pretty pink and white polkadot bikini as she soaked up the sunshine and enjoying a cooling dip in the water.

Amy teamed her curve-boosting two-piece with a huge pair of sunglasses, and did her best to keep her long red hair away from the water as she messed around in the sea with her sibling.

The former TOWIE star was enjoying a relaxing break in Spain ahead of celebrating the New Year with friends and family.

And, if recent reports are to be believed, Amy has a lot to look forward to over the next 12 months.

Since quitting TOWIE and appearing on Celebrity Big Brother, Amy has been named the new face of Ultimo boss Michelle Mone's Bra Queen range for Tesco, as well as releasing a fitness DVD and opening her own beauty salon in Brentwood, Essex - taking her estimated earnings for 2011 to £1.5million.

It was claimed yesterday that if Amy continues at the same rate of success in 2012, she could make up to an astonishing £10million.

A source told The Sun: 'Money will just flow in now. She can keep reinventing herself like Katie Price.

'If she is managed carefully £10 million is very achievable.'

But when asked what her resolutions are for 2012, Amy had slightly more modest aims.

She said: 'I'm going to calm down on the fake tan - I've started to look more natural, but Amy Childs' tan, from my salon, is really good.

'I also want to stop pouting because it's a bad habit. It's time I started smiling again.'

Hot on Amy's tail on the TOWIE rich list, however, is her fellow Essex star Mark Wright, who is thought to have the capability to make himself £9million in 2012.

The source added: 'Mark's earnings can hit £9million but he must be clever and market himself quickly.

Why Beach Volleyball is the hottest sport ever

Player of Beach Volleyball

Beach volleyball is a sport. With boobies.  It would appear that the object of the game is to hit the volleyball over the net and ground it on the other side of the net to gain points.

The real objective, however, is to see how long you can oogle gorgeous women in bikinis before anyone realizes you are paying no attention whatsoever to the game.

There is also men's beach volleyball. Men's beach volleyball is for queers.

The first recorded beach volleyball game took place in Waikiki, Hawaii. The sport was popularized in Southern California. Analysts blame the lack of beautiful, tanned women in bikinis in states such as New Jersey.

The game skyrocketed in popularity when men came to the realization that this was a chance for them to be able to stare at hot women in bikinis running around for a while and not get called perverts. Tennis has also seen a rise in popularity due to this trend, but beach volleyball players are wearing much less than tennis players. Plus, the chance of a top coming off is significantly higher than in tennis.

Before starting a game of beach volleyball, there are two very important things players must do:

1. Stretch out. Preliminary stretching both loosens one's muscles to make them more flexible and agile, but also prevents muscle injuries.

2. Stay hydrated. Drink plenty of water in order to prevent dehydration.

Jersey Shore's JWoww promises a perfect tan with her own gravity-defying bikini line

Jersey

Jersey

Jenni 'Jwoww' Farley of The Jersey Shore is well known for her love of a head-to-toe fake permatan.

But with summer around the corner, the bronze goddess has decided to improve on the real thing.

JWoww announced today that she has teamed up with Perfect Tan Bikini to design a line of swimwear that dispenses with the tricky issue of tan lines altogether.

The gravity-defying bikini has a unique fabrication that allows you to remove the straps of the top, while the cups stays in place.

Every style is lined with a silicon based adhesive called Stick2, which is activated by body temperature.

'The warmer you get, the more it stays in place!' the press release boasts.

There is no mention made as to whether the adhesive is waterproof.

Quite how the top comes off is also not clear, and unless you have access to an air-conditioned hotel room, removal sounds like it could be painful.

The company assures us however that the adhesives can be reused up to 20 times and can be reactivated 'by the heat of a blow dryer, or a simple hair straightening iron' - another frightening prospect.

On her Facebook page today Jenni gushed: 'I am so excited to announce the launch of my new bikini line, JWOWW by Perfect Tan Bikini.

It is the perfect combo of sexy and functional. You are gonna love it!'

Season 5 of The Jersey Shore will return to MTV on January 5th

Venezuelan pin-up Aída Yéspica shows she is still at her beauty queen best as she slips her dangerous curves into a tiny bikini

Aída Yéspica

She made quite the impression when she competed in Miss Venezuela just under a decade ago.

But Aída Yéspica showed that she's still got the body of a beauty queen as she hit the beach in Miami.

The 29-year-old former Miss Amazonas flaunted her dangerous curves in a tiny orange bikini.

Tanned and toned she looked at her prize winning best with not an inch to pinch on the South American model.

The brunette beauty enjoyed some time with her three-year-old son Aron Ferrari.

The toddlers father is her former boyfriend, footballer Matteo Ferrari.


Although she never won the Miss Venezuela 2002 contest, her figure left a lasting impression with the press.

Aida is a big star in Italy where she has graced the covers of Maxim and GQ.

In addition to her relationship with Matteo, she has been romantically linked to footballer Adrian Mutu.

Ex Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi reportedly once told her: 'With you I'd go anywhere.

Chloe Green shows off her curves in a black bikini

Chloe Green

Her father is known for his rotund appearance but that clearly isn't something that runs in the family.

Chloe Green hit the beach today in a revealing bikini that showed off her enviable body.

The 20-year-old wore a black strapless bikini and had her hair in a long single plait before tying it up into a loose bun.

It wasn't long ago that she was surrounded by her new best friends on reality show Made In Chelsea.

The multi-billion pound heiress is in Barbados for her annual Christmas trip to the island.

The former reality TV star didn't seem to mind being on her own but didn't venture very far into the sea and only got her legs wet.

Chloe, who previously dated Made In Chelsea star Ollie Locke, was on the same beach this time last year.

With no family or friends in sight the budding fashion designer splashed in the waves by herself.

She kept all of her jewellery on including a necklace, earrings and a large silver watch.

Chloe must like all things nautical as her bikini revealed a tattoo in the shape of an anchor.

The design sits on her right hip and is an indication that she enjoys spending time in the sea.

Unfortunately for Miss Green her sunny escape hadn't gotten off to the best start as the Caribbean weather turned sour.

She tweeted: 'So nice to be away! Can't believe it raining :( just my luck luckily its just day 1 #christmasholiday XXX (sic).'

Her mood changed later in the day however when she posted: 'Sun is out so happy!! Xxx.'

The Green family usually spend the Christmas and New Year period at the five-star Sandy Lane Hotel in a $25,000-a-night villa.

Along with annual Christmas visitors Simon Cowell and Michael Winner, other celebrity guests who have spent Christmas on the island include Gary Lineker, The Sugababes and Rihanna.
