The Royal Wedding couldn't have gone better for the UK's first family, but semi-racy Pippa Middleton pictures continue to surface and cause a stir online.

Pippa, the younger and less reserved sister of newly-crowned Duchess Catherine, is simply doing what a stunning, twenty-something party girl does.

But when your sister marries Prince William, everything is scrutinized.

One shows Pippa in a bra and short white skirt grinding with a guy who's clearly psyched. Not something Queen Elizabeth would be psyched about.

Racy Pippa Middleton Photo Controversy

"They were taken a few years ago," says CBS News Royal Contributor Victoria Arbiter of the racy snaps. "Yes, Pippa is in her underwear, but she's not doing anything illegal. They're the sort of pictures that crop up for pretty much any college student."

"It's just unfortunate that Pippa's learning about fame the hard way. "

So how are Pippa and her royal in-laws handling the controversy?

"It's not that she's angry," Arbiter said. "But by association, it's embarrassing for the royal family. The queen would much rather us be talking about William taking part in two mountain rescues this week (in his role as a military helicopter pilot)."

"But instead, Pippa made quite a splash at the wedding, and so, of course, that's what we're talking about. I'm sure (the queen is) going to be having a word to make sure these pictures are sat on and, hopefully, this will be the last we see of them."

Pippa "absolutely" didn't realize she'd be the subject of so much scrutiny, Arbiter says, "especially because these pictures were taken awhile ago."

"Pippa is a classy girl. She is a good girl. She's definitely got a twinkle in her eye. She's not quite as well-behaved as Kate, shall we say? But she goes into a nightclub looking fabulous and she comes out looking fabulous."

"She's not sort of falling all over the place, losing her mind."

Or accepting offers from Vivid.

Marisa Miller in Esquire: Sizzing for the Summer!

It's almost summer. The birds are chirping louder, the sun is shining brighter - and Marisa Miller is preparing to don such teeny, tiny bikinis that the jaws of men everywhere are in danger of hanging permanently agape.

"Summer is my favorite time of the year," the super model tells Esquire. "It's warm, everybody gets outside, girls wear a little less clothing, and there's lots of concerts. Everybody's just ready to have some fun."

If men can take their eyes off the picture above for a few seconds, Miller also has advice for how they might win over females such as herself: don't wear a Speedo.

"I don't understand the guys who wear that really tight Euro-spandex," she says. "I just don't get it. For me, I grew up around surfers - guys in trunks - and I like that. You want a guy to be a guy, you know?"

In terms of a woman being a woman, Miller has things covered nicely. Or NOT covered nicely, to be exact. Click on the following photos to see what we mean:

The Voice Recap: The Battle Rounds Begin!

After its first two episodes earned strong ratings and critical praise, NBC did the logical thing and changed the format and time slot of The Voice completely.

The blind auditions at 9 p.m. were so last week.

The battle rounds began Tuesday night, and in them, each coach pairs two teammates and challenges them to perform a duet, choosing a winner at the end.

Battles will continue until each of the four teams is cut in half. Luckily, the coaches' charisma and the singers' talent again made up for the confusing format.

Team Christina Aguilera: Frenchie Davis vs. Tarralyn Ramsey

The diva started things off with a bang by asking two divas, Frenchie Davis and Tarralyn Ramsey, to trade verses of "Single Ladies." The tension was palpable.

Tarralyn and Frenchie's rehearsal footage was pretty great, as was the resulting performance. Tarralyn appeared to be in the driver's seat in this one. However ...

Christina opted to keep Frenchie, the former American Idol castoff. Did she make the right call with her first elimination on Team Diva? You be the judge:

Team Blake Shelton: Tyler Robinson vs. Patrick Thomas

The country star paired cowboy Patrick Thomas with the more pop-friendly Tyler Robinson and told them they'd be singing Elvis Presley's "Burning Love."

Then, with the air of guest mentor Reba McEntire, Blake advised each to try taking a page out of his rival's book. Both took it to heart in a smooth duet.

Patrick and Tyler's voices are naturally complimentary, leading to a tough call for Blake. Some might have given the edge to Tyler, but he went with Pat:

Team Adam Levine: Casey Weston vs. Tim Mahoney

This performance of "Leather and Lace," originally sung by Stevie Nicks and Don Henley, was terrific from the Battle Round's first guy-girl showdown.

Their voices blended beautifully, but only one could make it through. Adam decided he'd go with the famle, because there's just something about her.

Talent aside, seasoned vet Tim may have been done in by the fact that he was going up against a cute youngster. Blind auditions are no longer ...

Team Cee Lo Green: Vicci Martinez vs. Niki Dawson

The rhyming-named girls had the honor of being mentored by Monica, and Niki, who barely got any screen time last week, made up for it Tuesday.

The two ladies sang Pink's "Perfect" in the battle arena. Both their voices have a roughness that suited the song, and they brought the house down.

It was the best duet of the night, with Blake noting that "[Cee Lo is] going to reflect on his life" and the mistake of pitting them against each other.

In the end, Vicci made it through and Niki was booted. Watch:

Luther Campbell Lays Out Miami Mayoral Platform

Hey, it worked for Arnold Schwarzenegger. Not as well for Mary Carey.

But Luther Campbell, a former member of rap group 2 Live Crew, claims to be serious about his bid to become the next Mayor of Miami-Dade. Earlier this week, the celebrity penned a commentary that outlined key aspects of his political platform.

Luther Campbell will do whatever it takes to get to know the citizens of Miami.

Among them:

Open casinos in area hotels.
Follow in the recent voting steps of Los Angeles residents and allow medical marijuana dispensaries to boost the economy.
Construct movie studios.
Partner with Universal Studios or Disney to build a water theme park near Miami Marine Stadium.
Aiming for a "Bourbon Street is every part of the county," pour resources into Little Havana, Little Haiti, Overtown and Allapattah.
Bring more sporting events to the region.

So, does Campbell have your vote?

Arnold Schwarzenegger: I'll Be Back ... Together With Maria Shriver?

Arnold Schwarzenegger wants Maria Shriver to come back to him. Whether she obliges is a different story, but he's supposedly determined to make it happen.

The Governator is changing his ways to make that happen. Sort of.

Sources say Arnold finally gets that Maria couldn't stand the fact that he was ignoring her and her needs, having spent very little time together in recent years.

Arnold has actually made headway, making Maria "ambivalent" at times about whether to go through with a divorce, despite their just-announced separation.

"Maria has been tortured over pulling the plug on the marriage," a source says. "One day she's determined to get the hell out, the next day she just can't."

Notably, they just spent an evening at an L.A. area hotel for their anniversary. Doesn't sound like somebody emotionally terrified of their spouse, does it?

One source very familiar with the couple says that amid the separation, "Arnold has done a 180. He's been really sweet to her since all this went down."

Guys. Can't live with 'em, are we right ladies?

Michaele Salahi Song Snippet: "Bump It"

Of course Michaele Salahi is starting a singing career.

The White House-crashing, Real Housewives of D.C.-starring, attention-loving waste of Oxygen tells Radar Online she has released a single titled "Bump It."

“It’s an amazing dance song, and it highlights the party animal in everyone!” Michaele said. “I titled the song Bump It because I love dancing and bumping it on the dance floor! I got so caught up with the rhythm, that my music just feels like a magical prism.”

Michaele Salahi - Bump It Song Preview

Available today on iTunes, the song's lyrics rival the beautiful prose of Kim Kardashian's "Turn It Up." Among the words Salahi spouts:

Like I’m so hot and like, you’re so not. The speakers on blast, let the techno rock. Everybody in the club make your way to the front, rhythm is the bass that will make the crowd jump.

Amen, sister. Amen.

Al Reynolds Demands Pay Out for Star Jones Insults

Looks like Star Jones has someone to worry about aside from NeNe Leakes: her ex-husband.

The former talk show host, who feuded for weeks with NeNe on Celebrity Apprentice, is being sued by ex-husband Al Reynolds for $50,000. The cause of his legal distress? Star's alleged violation of a clause in their divorce settlement that stipulated neither could publicly insult the other.

But Jones went on the March 25 edition of The Wendy Williams Show and said: "The wedding was fabulous, but the marriage was kind of a booty."

Reynolds has a feeling from the outset that his marriage was doomed.

"The unnecessary and disparaging statements made over the years regarding their marriage to mutual friends, in TV and print interviews and tweets must stop;" said Reynolds' publicist. "And if Al filing paperwork utilizing the very clause that Star wanted in the divorce decree is used to stop her from the constant blasphemy of Al and their marriage vows, then so be it."

Moreover, through his rep, Al denied the charge that he's actually dating Leakes. That would be gross.
