While I rang in the new year, wrapped up in my warmest sweater and avoiding the outdoors at all costs, Beyonce and hubby Jay-Z spent the time frolicking on the beaches in the Caribbean in a skimpy bikini (well, Beyonce did, anyway. I'd rather not see Jay-Z in a bikini, no offense or anything).

B took some much-needed time out of her busy schedule to show off her sexy curves and play on the water -- she was spotted tearing up the waves on a jet ski and jumping on a water trampoline. Good for her -- a couple of hours at those activities can help her burn around 500 calories.

Sure sounds like a fun way to celebrate the new year. And she looks fantastic. Not that I'm jealous or anything.

Simon Cowell spent his recent holiday in Barbados frolicking on the beach and getting active by exploring the shoreline on a jet ski. Good for him -- jet skiing for a couple of hours will burn around 600 calories and is definitely a healthier activity than lying on a sun lounger frying your skin.

The only problem? He spent his time on the jet ski puffing away on a cancer stick. Classy. Also: How do you keep a cigarette lit when you're playing on the water? I've been on a jet ski before, and it's not easy staying dry.

Methinks Simon should add 'quit smoking' to his New Year's resolutions -- then he can really enjoy his water sports on his next vacation.
