The life of a celebrity is tough. The only goal: staying famous. So, if you’re famous for doing things in the wintertime (like, say, Shaun White for instance) your big job during the summer is making sure people remember who you are. What better way than heading out to the Montauk Yacht Club for a little dancing, making out, and random ass slapping, according to the New York Daily News.
“Shaun was with this girl and they were making out like crazy,” an eyewitness tells Confidenti@l. “‘At one point he got on top of her and he was touching her butt. . . Our spy then says White strolled up to the bar and eyed a different girl, who was wearing a short, white lace dress. . . “When she passed in front of him he slapped her behind,” says our spy. “She turned around and kissed him while the first girl — who was right next to him — looked on. It was hilarious,” says our insider.
And that, kids, is how you keep a high profile even during the summer.

Australian writer Clementine Ford is not happy with the new promo piece for the 2013 Roxy Pro starring Stephanie Gilmore. No, she doesn’t like the fact that the surfer’s face is never shown nor does she like the absence of surfing in the spot. In fact, she doesn’t like much about it, according to her story on Daily Life.
Because the most amazing thing female surfers can do has precisely nothing to do giving a hidden audience a boner. And while it’s almost amazing that most women spend the majority of their lives in an unacknowledged performance that begins sometime in childhood and ends when menopause makes them invisible once more, our most spectacular achievements (and failures) are unrelated to how appreciative (or dismissive) that hidden audience is of our beauty.
Oh, that again. . . to watch the video (and apparently get a boner and an unnatural attraction to the HTC One) click the link.

Hard to believe that season one of Surf House is finally over. It seems like only yesterday that we were just getting to know the abs and asses that populate the show and now we’re shedding a tear as they say goodbye. Join us for this fond farewell, and maybe just one last glimpse of some taut, tan, and wet skin.
