Celebrity Swimsuits: The Good, The Bad, And The Really Ugly (SLIDESHOW)

In honor of Memorial Day weekend, we've pulled together some slideshows of our very favorite and our very least favorite celebrity swimsuits. The photos and our judgments are below.

The Good:

• • • • • • • • A classic black bikini. Every woman should have one. Also notice Lindsay Lohan's intrepid use of a hat and sunglasses. Sun safety first, people!

The Bad:

• • • • • • • • It's hard to make Jessica Biel look bad, but this bikini is doing nothing for her. The pattern, the frill, the colors. All no good.

What do you think? Agree? Disagree? Tell us your thoughts below.

Ok Jessica Alba, we know you're hot, now how 'bout those acting lessons.

Kate Hudson's bottom doesn't look real. Looks like she has some build in saline bags.
Oh well nothing is real these days anymore, although Jessica Biel is all real. Healthy and to be proud of for all females.

Jessica Biel's suit is making everything for Jessica. The suit shows off her body as very feminine
and Jessica herself looks like the beautiful girl next door. Quit kidding us, Linsey looks like a has been in her swimsuit and the other one whoever it is looks like a maid from across the border.

I would like to see gorgeous men in Speedos instead of women all the time. I am personally sick and tired of women in bikinis getting exclusive air-time here.

Isn't it amazing how liberals claim to be the least sexist and the least homophobic, yet their pictorial representations are almost always exclusively pandering to male heterosexual fantasy. We can't have gorgous men in Speedos here, now can we??? Might be considered a bit too "homoerotic" for Huffington Post..

everywhere the same. Women are still used as sex symbols, even thought the liberals pretend
the don't mind gays. So where are the men models then? For the females and the gays? I guess that would be a little to gay even for a liberal? hmmmm fricking hypocrits

couldn't disagree more about Kate Hudson's little red number. that has got to be the best bathing suit ever, mostly because she's wearing it I guess. do you mean 'bad' as in the sense that its not recommended for most people? or in the sense that it looks bad. because I can agree with the former, but not the latter...

Some of the "bad" were better than the "good." Really, people, nobody looks good in a bandeau top!

Fashion police. Just another way for women to practice being judgmental.

Gross. And people wonder why there are so many rapes.

what are you talking about?
really scary that what someone is wearing immediately brought 'rape' to your mind.
are you a n attorney who asks rape survivors what kind of underwear they were wearing??

Rape is not sex. And rapist don't necessarily target "sexy" victims. I hope you were just trying to be shocking.

Poor Tara. She gets no respect.

She looks ok, if you ignore the botched abdominoplasty. I wonder if she's suing. I don't know if it was incompetence, or an unavoidable surgical complication.

I say bring all the men and women home from Bush's war, and give them a brand new bikini or swim suit of their choice, gratis, to enjoy at the beach. And I promise not to criticise any of them if they don't look like a Hollywood movie star while they soak up the rays, play at the beach, and relax on the sand.

Or send them all to Carson City...

BDS rears its ugly head. Or is it really the green eyed monster?

Actually -- In honor of Memorial Day, why don't you have a moment of respectful memory for the people who have and continued to die fighting in Iraq?

You should have had the decency to at least mention the irony that Memorial Day has become a day to wear bikinis.

Congratulations, you are now officially distracting Americans from the war being fought in their name.

Maybe we should give up golf to stand in solidarity also.

I spend most of my days in the sea here in Hawaii, teaching free diving and bothering fish. I have to tell you that most people are not thin and svelte and most people should simply not worry about what they wear to the water. Like the quote from Aliens.... It won't make any difference..... It gets really bad when people are trying for a "look" when they should be trying for a healthy body and a few less pounds of fat and cottage cheese. Frankly, I think of most of them as potential voters and am happy to see them at the water so they can learn why we need to take care of it. But they shouldn't bother with fashion statements because it is often a grave mistake.... I could tell you stories.... like the woman wearing some string with a strategically placed four square inch patch who really didn't have the kind of body to pull it off.... put me off my papaya for the rest of the afternoon... yeeeeesh.... and the tattoos.... what are they thinking??? Me, I wear a hoodless wetsuit. Best all around sun protection and even though I don't have an ounce of extra weight on me, nobody has to look at my hairy carcass....
