Wow, Paulina Gretzky, you certainly <i>are</i> a grown-up too

Paulina Gretzky is back. And the big story is, um, her front.

But first, cast your eyes on the photo above. On the one hand, the picture of Wayne Gretzky’s eldest daughter shows a cute 5-year-old hanging out with daddy and a friend. On the other, it shows a strong-willed young lady who appears to be quite a handful indeed.

Cut from 1994 to 2012, when at age 23, the devilish side of this little angel has clearly won out.

Oh, yeah, before we forget: It looks as if Paulina Gretzy, model-singer, has a part in “Grown-Ups 2” with Adam Sandler. But the news is how she announced it: By tweeting a voluptuous bikini shot of her blond self hanging out on set with fellow beach babe Kimberly Alexis Howe.

“Fun day on set,” Gretzky wrote via Instagram as she simultaneously made it a very fun day for her nearly 145,000 Twitter followers.

Remember, this is the same Paulina Gretzky who notoriously shut down her Twitter account briefly last year after an alleged “wait till your father gets home”-style chat with Dad about the many hot-hot-hot pictures of herself she’d shared with the world.

“Hi everyone I’m back! But shhh don’t tell my dad,” she said upon her return to the microblogging site last December.

And back she certainly is.

Hey, Wayne, at least she’s employed.
