2012 saw its fair share of celebrities showing off their sexy curves in bikinis at the beach (and one-piece suits as well), but which stars were the sexiest of all?

It's been a roller coaster year for Katy Perry, but things keep getting better. The singer was just named Billboard magazine's Woman of the Year.

The dance duo is astonished at some of Perry's risqué concert routines and tour merchandise, and has slammed her for wearing her notorious 'cream-shooting' bra.

Katy Perry's brother David Hudson doesn't believe John Mayer is the right boyfriend for his sister. He recently told Life & Style magazine, "She deserves a true gentleman, and I don’t think she’s found that." Ouch!

According to US Weekly, it was Mayer who got tired of Perry's "hard partying" and "decided to pull the plug. As shocking as that is, US Weekly's source also claims "he dumped her over email. She was furious and really hurt. She was into him, but he wasn't feeling it."

The pair was first spotted in early August, but the romance would make it out of the month. Still, it broke KAty's heart, according to reports. "John did a real number on Katy. Sh...
