Inching closer and closer to the new year lying ahead, 2009 surely wasn’t short of its fair share of celebrity bikini bliss.
With a seemingly endless supply of Hollywood hotties decked out in skimpy swimwear, lovely ladies such as Miranda Kerr, Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan and Mariah Carey were among the numerous beach dwellers over the past twelve months.
Joining in on the body-baring fun were the damsels of the reality TV world, as Kristin Cavallari, Stephanie Pratt, Whitney Port, Kim Zolciak and Kelly Bensimon all took their turns modeling bikinis as paparazzi eagerly snapped up shots.
Not to be left out, fellow starlets such as AnnaLynne McCord, Courteney Cox, Sienna Miller, Elisabetta Canalis, Leighton Meester and Tori Spelling showed off their fabulous figures for the whole world to see.
