What you need to know, from the New York Daily News:
The 33-year-old "Extra" correspondent found herself on the losing end of a bet against her colleague A.J. Calloway Sunday after her beloved New England Patriots fell short of the Super Bowl championship.
According to the terms of the bet, Menounos had to host the show in a red, white and blue bikini - and luckily for her, a pair of warm, furry black Uggs.
If Calloway had lost, he would have had to don a Patriots cheerleader outfit.
(If Mario Lopez had lost, he would've had to have kissed Calloway on the mouth, which he would've hated.)
What you're looking for: Pictures and video of this, because Maria Menounos is awesome to look at. Well, look no further! Thanks to With Leather you won't have to take two seconds to type "maria menunous bikini bet" into Google (and 30 or more trying to spell "Menounos") -- we've got video, high-res photos and a MIDI of Elton John's "Candle In The Wind" playing in the background throughout.
(note: MIDI pending)

Try not to spend the entire video going COME ON TURN AROUND.
Maria in one of those "heh, look at what I'M about to do" naked-in-a-robe Kate Upton twitpics.
HEY HEY HEY HEY WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?
These next few pics are mostly the same, but I think you'll enjoy them, either from the "haw haw the Patriots lost" or "holy sh*t look at her torso" perspectives.

The woman in the red peacoat is a great counterpoint in this illustration of how men and women view Maria Menounos in a bikini.
Maria in happier times, repping the New York Football Yankees.
Why can't Gisele have sex with THAT Tom Brady?
Maria interviewing Katy Perry, who is exactly the kind of person who'd think that Justin Bieber both teams half-and-half bullsh*t is a great idea.

Good stuff, too bad it wasn’t colder out.
Not to be the one who pisses in the punchbowl, but seeing as how the Pats and the Giants have the exact same colors, shouldn’t she have to wear a Giants bikini or something that says Giants on it? What’s that? Shut up and stare at the hot chick? Done and done!
Agreed. I was thinking having the the “ny” logo vajazzled on her.
Lets see: the top and the bottom isn’t matching, she has a stupid belly button ring, there’s a weird crease in her vag. parts, she has split ends and her hair isn’t free flowing enough, her pout gives her way too many wrinkles= Not hot.
Seriously though, I can’t believe Nick Lachey is married to her. Why couldn’t she have turned around? And why was that guy who was constantly starring at her ass not taking pictures? What a fantastic body.
For some weird reason, I know that I can say with full confidence and the most macho way possible and without looking it up that Nick Lachey is married to Vanessa Manillo and not Maria Menunos.
I mean, c’mon, I’m a man and its not like I read the People magazines left on the counter at the gym or anything.
I thought Lachey married Vanessa Minillo. I think she’s kinda hot, but after she admitted on Stern that she hates giving head., I maek poopies.
You guys are right. I was thinking of the other one. Oh well. Maria still has a rocking body.
How come no one cheered when she dropped the robe? lol
