If you're a prostitute, you might as well be happy doing it, right?

According to Brazil's health ministry, which has removed a website proclaiming "I am happy being a prostitute" — NOPE!

The message was good, too: if you can't do away with prostitution, you might as well try and reduce the AIDS-related stigma suffered by prostitutes in an effort to encourage them to get treated for sexually-transmitted infections.

Critics slammed it for promoting prostitution

And you thought gurls were the cattiest!

Apparently, Bradley Cooper and Zach Galifianakis haven’t been too accommodating during their Brazilian press tour this past week. Ranging from Zach’s unwillingness to participate in a local press conference to Bradley’s alleged “diva” behavior, it seems it’s been quite a PR disaster.

While the cast made their way to a scheduled press junket on Wednesday, Zach pulled out at the last minute due to a severe fear of heights. The conference was set to take place at Morro da Urca in Rio de Janeiro — a peak near Sugarloaf Mountain — but Zach just couldn’t handle the 220 meter cable car ascent.

Summer is practically here!! And boy, are we ready for some completely gratuitous shirtless sightings!

Speaking of which, Bradley Cooper was spotted looking mighty fine in Rio de Janeiro earlier today! Caught taking a photo of the view from his hotel, the actor made sure to give us a peek at his HAWT, half-nekked bod!

Despite his crazy schedule, currently in Brazil working a round of press for his movie The Hangover 3, Brad looks like he finds time to stay in shape!!

Now if he would only drop those pants, too!

Richard Swanson had a goal, and that goal was to dribble a soccer ball from Seattle all the way to Brazil, and do it in time for the 2014 World Cup! Easy, right? Just do a little bit at a time?

Maybe that should have been the case, but we're sad to report that Richard has died after being struck by a pickup truck while walking south on the Highway 101 in Oregon. The 10,000 mile trip had basically just begun — just on May 1st.

Paul McCartney certainly is a veteran performer.

It'd take more than a few bugs to get him to mess up a live show.

Actually, we feel like it'd take nothing short of a plague of locusts to throw him off his game.

That's kinda what happened to him at a show in Brazil.

While up on stage, for almost three hours, he was surrounded by grasshoppers, several of which landed on him while he was performing.

One in particular sat on his shoulder while he played.

Paul ended up naming the little guy Harold. Ha!

What a professional, to be able to keep playing and even make light of the situation.

Check out the video (above) to hear Paul talk about his locust buddies then still continue the show!

Sarah Jessica Parker has decided to take a personal vacay from her fam in favor of the warm Brazilian sun!

Just kidding!! She’s actually there to shoot a fashion campaign, but she sure looks like she’s having a blast!

Our fave Sex & The City sex columnist was all smiles as she strolled around, talked on the phone, and did whatever she was doing.

Hope her family isn’t missing her too much back home!

Check out her Brazilian tan! (below)

If these were meant to get our attention, they worked!

There’s been an ongoing battle with body image in the fashion industry since, basically forever, but people are taking strides to end it.

Star Models is one of the top agencies in Brazil and with the help of the ad masters at Revolution Brasil, they came up with a powerful anti-anorexia campaign.

The images show a fashion sketch with an emaciated (and hopefully Photoshopped) model next to it wearing the same thing, with the words "You are not a sketch. Say no to anorexia" scribbled on it.

They hit the nail right on the head, but we kinda wish that part was printed bigger. Kinda defeats the purpose if people can't read the most important part of the message, no?

Thoughts???
