The CW

Gossip Girl's lusty marketing minds have rolled out another series of steamy promos for the teen drama, this time craftily spotlighting nuggets of "praise" from the Parents Television Council ("Mind-Blowingly Inappropriate"), the Boston Herald ("Every Parent's Nightmare") and other outlets.

As with the show's other recent foray into shock-and-awe advertising, the campaign—meant to appeal to both our basest and our brightest (as in, our satire-appreciating) instincts—certainly fares well. And it obviously achieves the CW's No. 1 objective, which is to create buzz.

Admittedly, Serena, Blair, Nate and the rest are all played by fresh-faced 20-and-aboves (albeit none of whom would ever admit to having had as much sex in high school as their upper-crust characters) and none of the new spots proclaim "OMFG" but...

It's still a bunch of teens doin' it! Or about to do it. Or very obviously thinking about doin' it.

Check out just how far we've come from Brenda and Dylan's tender moment at the spring dance after the jump...

The Jonas Brothers are pretty much perfect—they’re adorable, have spectacular heads of hair and wear cool clothes. And that is exactly the reason why their Rolling Stone feature is, um, boring.

At least it is until the end, when the writer insinuates there’s a little somethin’-somethin’ going on between the youngest bro, Nick, and up-and-coming Disney star Selena Gomez. The two are totally touching in a blurry picture taken backstage that a Disney publicist asked to be deleted but, of course, was not.

And now the graphic details of a photo that could devastate legions of fans. Seriously, don't continue reading if you can't take it:

Audrina Patridge did this weekend what she does best—let it all hang out. And this time it was at the DKNY Jeans Beach House in Malibu. But at least the reality star was (semi)clothed during this photo op.

And clothed or not, we do love this teeny-weeny bikini on Patridge. Not only does her barely there bathing suit show off that perfectly toned frame, but even her cleavage looks fly. Her lady lumps typically tend to look way too big for her tiny figure, but here she looks just right. Agreed?

See who else is getting next to nekkid in our Summer Skin gallery.

The Miss America Organization is putting all of its chips on neon.

The pageant proprietor announced Thursday that Miss America Live! will be returning to Las Vegas' Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino for the next two years.

The hotel on the famed Vegas Strip was also the scene of 2008 Miss America Live!, TLC's revamped take on the festivities, which now include a series of competitions leading up to the main event and plenty of online interaction.

To combat flagging interest in the nearly century-old tradition, the competition also made a brief foray into reality TV last year, when CMT aired the seven-episode Finding Miss America.

Ah, summer. The perfect time to catch a glimpse of our favorite celebs without all their designer clothing piled on. (Hmmm...that sounds creepier than we intended.)

Anyway, let's get to the point: Who could this superslim bikini bod belong to?

We’re just going to assume Vanessa Hudgens is straddling Zac Efron in her bikini on this romantic Caribbean beach because she’s about to tickle attack him—not only for the sake of the couple’s young High School Musical fan base but also our own.

(We prefer to think of our Zefron as innocent and darling as Troy Bolton. Vanessa, on the other hand, well, we already got her number down.)

The Disney power couple took a superromantic weeklong vacation in the Turks and Caicos being a “happy young couple” and “laughing all the time,” according to In Touch. Those crazy kids, they really cut loose down there.

Think Troy and Gabriella will get this far in HSM3? Remember, it took them two whole TV movies just to kiss.
