Good for Chaz Bono.

Cher's 44-year-old son is looking better than ever—and must be feeling that way, too, as he apparently has not lost sight of his previously stated goal of losing 80 pounds.

A binder-toting Bono was photographed out yesterday in L.A. outside an actors workshop, casually dressed in shorts and a T-shirt that showed off muscled arms.

He told People in May that he was "feeling really good" after shedding 65 pounds, 15 short of his goal, and that was thinking that he'd like another shot at Dancing With the Stars.

"I'd do it so much better now than I did then," he said, obviously no longer worried about drawing comparisons to a penguin should he vie for the mirror-ball trophy ever again.

(He won't be making a return this season, as the brand-new cast was just announced this morning, but memo to producers if they do another all-star round.)

"Physically, my body feels just so much better," he also told the magazine. "I'm in a lot less discomfort when I exercise and am doing physical stuff. All of my numbers are all normal now, which is great—my blood pressure, my cholesterol.

"I just have a lot more confidence, and that feels really cool. I really like what I see in the mirror."

The camera's liking what it sees, too, Chaz.

That's a mighty fine color on you, Dakota Johnson.

The actress can come off as a little shy at first glance (perfect for Anastasia Steele), but the 23-year-old has a fiery, sexy side as well (perfect for Anastasia Steele post-Christian Grey).

Whether she's getting cheeky on a windowsill in a tiny pair of underwear or strutting a gorgeous gown on the red carpet, Johnson embodies all the traits needed to bring the lead character from the erotic Fifty Shades of Grey books to the big screen.

Though Johnson's participation in the adaptation has received mixed reactions (an online petition asks that she be replaced by Alexis Bledel), the former Ben & Kate mom, Melanie Griffith, was ready to defend her daughter.

"My beautiful child Dakota has been chosen to play Anna Steele in 50 Shades!!! Look out world!" Griffith, 56, tweeted on Monday, Sept. 2. "Here she comes!!! #proudmama."

Judging by these sexy pics, Dakota's going to do just fine.

(E! and Universal Pictures are both part of the NBCUniversal family.)

Actually, make that bikini shots of the day.

Less than a week after we had the pleasure of seeing Chrissy Teigen flaunt her fabulous figure for Beach Bunny Swimwear's bridal line, along comes Irina Shayk to do the same for the popular bikini line.

And needless to say, the 27-year-old Russian model doesn't disappoint either.

In addition to Teigen, Shayk also follows in the gorgeous footsteps of Kate Upton, who also beautifully showed off the brand's titillating two-pieces recently as well.
