As temperatures continue to fall and we prepare for the cold and brutal winter, we thought we'd help by raising the temperature just a wee bit. Here are 27 sizzling pictures of celebrities from the past two years enjoying the sun, sand and sea. Well sizzling for the most part anyway. Are we evil for making you long for warm sunny days? Probably :)

Most of them looked rather ravishing in their beach wear don't you think? All the women in their itsy bitsy bikinis and (almost) all the men with their washboard abs. That picture of Hugh Jackman makes my heart skip a beat. And Obama has to be the hottest president ever EVER! I don't get why Shauna Sand has stripper heels on in a beach though. Who were your favorites and umm....not so favorites?
