Why is she running around in bikinis?

I've noticed recently in the tabloid media that she's showing up a lot in bikini pics. She was annoying as hell early in hear career.(early to mid 2000s)

I've noticed in the last 5 years shes changed tack & gone toward the nerdy or white trash type roles -- I like.

Is she trying to get a husband or something? There's nothing wrong with her looks....
