The 33-year-old Massachusetts native stripped down to the bikini due to a lost Super Bowl wager on her New England Patriots. Menounos lost the bet to colleague A.J. Calloway, who picked his hometown New York Giants.

Last seen at the Super Bowl Tebowing with the man himself, Extra correspondent Maria Menounos was back in New York on Monday, standing in the middle of Times Square on Monday donning a red and blue bikini. If Calloway had lost, he would worn a New England Patriots cheerleader outfit. Menounos had to wear the bikini, though she was able to keep warm (and give a shout-out to Tom Brady) by wearing black Uggs during the taping.

I hate bets, Menounos said as she removed the robe. I'm never doing this again.
