[[APARICIONES PUBLICAS]] Sun and (Viceroy) fun for Selma Blair

Selma Blair got burned -- but it hurt so good.

The Kath and Kim star, 36, flew down for the opening of the Viceroy Miami hotel Thursday at the Icon Brickell property with her costar and boyfriend, Mikey Day. The couple got caught up in the tropical moment -- and didn't use enough sunscreen.

Day was red as a lobster; but Blair, in a strapless black gown, was glowing. It could also be the 20 pounds she had to gain for the role as Molly Shannon's trashy daughter in the NBC show, which has its season finale Thursday.

They were having a fabulous time, taking in the jaw-dropping property, tootling around on bikes and shopping on the beach. Blair was particularly impressed by the hotel's modern yet intimate design.

'' Kelly Wearstler has done such a great job, it's so elegant,'' said Blair on the green carpet. ``I'm always interested in seeing what she's doing. She's really put a stamp on the [interior] design world.''

Upstairs, on the 15th floor pool deck, more celebs -- ''It'' couple Jon Hamm (Mad Men) and Jennifer Westfeldt (Grey's Anatomy); the Estefans; and Burn Notice's Jeffrey Donovan -- were shooting the breeze. Literally -- it was gusty up there.

''It feels like home,'' remarked Blair, who is from the Chicago area.

Inside the signature restaurant, Sharon Stone, 50 (she turns 51 Tuesday) looked ab fab in an electric lemon mini dress and worked the room like the diva she is. The actress mingled with Icon developer Jorge Perez, while guests oohed and aahed over her movie star presence.

[[ARTICLES]] Selma Blair Enjoying Weight Gain

LOS ANGELES, Ca., Mar. 2 (TOTI) --

Selma Blair wasn't too happy at first when she learned she'd have to gain 20 pounds for her role in the sitcom Kath and Kim. But now the star is enjoying her curvier body a bit more.

An insider told Star that the actress was self conscious at first.

"She felt that everywhere she went, people were whispering, 'She's so fat.' Selma would say 'But I did this for my character!'"

But things turned around quickly for Blair when she found out her boyfriend Mikey Day really liked the new curves.

"He likes her better heavier - he said she was way too skinny before," said the source. "Mikey makes her feel beautiful, so the romance is hotter than ever."

Personal Trivia

During high school she went by the name Blair because she hated her first name. She is still not comfortable with her age at the name of 36. She says, "I've always thought of it as an old woman's name, so I demanded that everyone call me Blair. In high school, when people found out my name was Selma, they'd call me things like Smell-ma or Salmonella. That stuff basically came from friends, and I never really had any enemies, so I just kind of smiled through it. "I still don't like my name. It does not fall prettily off the tongue. In fact, it's hideous. My middle name is James, and I like to be called that."
She has been romantically linked to Jason Schwartzman of Rushmore Fame.
In her sparetime, Selma collects black-and-white photography. She also enjoys horseback riding, and loves snow jumping.
Blair's intention for her future was to become a photographer. She had some macabre ideas as to what would make a good shot. She explains, "I didn't have many models I was comfortable asking to pose for me, so I did a lot of self-portraits. "I didn't want them to look as if they were of me, so I made myself up like (artist) Magritte's mother, who drowned herself and was supposedly found with her nightdress wrapped around her head. "I took a bunch of self-portraits in that state and some very macabre, victim-y ones, in which I'd torn off my clothes, found a ditch at the side of the road and jumped in."
Selma has a reputation for becoming every publicist's nightmare by talking about anything and everything during an interview.
