Lest we forget, stuff is happening down in Australia this week.
No, it’s not the filming of CROCODILE DUNDEE XXV where Paul Hogan takes on Al Qaeda in Iraq– although….note to self….pitch Universal Studios next week — but, in fact, people are hitting fuzzy yellow things for two weeks at the 2008 Australian Open….and things are getting vaarrry interesting in the woman’s semi’s.
A finals match-up between super hotties Maria Sharapova and Ana Ivanovic is a distinct possibility, as both have advanced to the semi’s with wins over Justine Heninand Venus Williams, respectively.
(As you may know, the loss of Justine Henin really tears me up….as I’ve poured my heart out about her possibly missing the Olympics HERE.)
But, in order for this “dream” match-up to occur, Maria must get past Jelena Jankovic and Ana must best Daniela Hantuchova for the world to see this delectable match-up.
(Crosses fingers, gets down on knees and prays, rubs rabbit’s foot, puts used horse shoe at the top right corner of his front door-frame, slips on lucky charm bracelet, rubs one out, promises to NEVER rub one out again for good luck…..)
The Smoking Gun revealed the identity of the advertising executive that was caught secretly taking photos of unsuspecting females while on legitimate photo shoots for his clients. Toyo Shigeta, the CEO of Dentsu Holdings, was in fact revealing the photos to subordinates and as part of a wrongful termination suit, the photo above of Maria Sharapova was entered into evidence.
Some of the lewd and lascivious details (gross!):
Steve Biegel charges that he was fired by Dentsu Holdings, the giant Japanese advertising agency, after complaining about the photographic hobby of Toyo Shigeta, the firm’s CEO, who allegedly distributed the Sharapova photo to subordinates.
According to Biegel, a Dentsu creative director who oversaw the Canon ad campaign, Shigeta used a telephoto lens to take the “crotch shot.” In fact, Biegel alleges, Shigeta “proudly” gave him an electronic copy of the Sharapova photo. [LINK TO STORY]
I’m not convinced! This could be an isolated incident, a slippage of the camera, and a sham of a suit against the Man! Damn….and you wonder why our court systems are all jammed up. We need facts, baby. Definitive….hard…facts! And if we can’t get ‘em…damn it….we need more photos as proof! At least a dozen. Preferably of ad campaigns to do with hair removal creams, panty hose, and lingerie. And of Jessica Alba, if at all possible. I hear she’s wonderful witness and examines extremely well on the stand.
Maria Sharapova is being used to sell watches in the Middle East. That’s right. Probably the world’s sexiest woman sports athlete is being used in merchandising Tag Heuer watches in the babushka wearing Middle East. Some details,
To celebrate the inimitable strength and stunning beauty of women, TAG Heuer announced the Middle East launch of a sparkling array of new, ultra-glamorous and totally irresistible TAG Heuer timepieces for women.
The Professional Sports Watch’s fashion-forward color, pink, along with its avant-garde design, capture the feminine quintessence of the extraordinary young tennis champion who inspired it. As stylish on the court as off, Maria embodies TAG Heuer’s strength, glamour and sporty elegance. [LINK TO STORY]
I guess since this is more targeted at the United Arab Emirates — a somewhat less extreme Muslim country – it ain’t all that crazy. I hear the woman there are allowed to walk within five feet of their husbands, instead of the customary ten feet in other Muslim countries. And they can engage in conversation with other men too….well, actually brothers and first cousins only….as long as it’s during daylight hours….between 1pm and 2:30pm…..on Tuesday’s. Also, the woman can actually show their wrists and look at their TAG watches on Wednesday mornings too!
After enjoying delicious In-N-Out burgers in sunny, beautiful, non-radioactive California, Maria Sharapova has decided she will return home to mother Russia and the place she fled as a child, Chernobyl.
The 20-year-old, 6′2″ tennis princess — yes, height is important to this story – will return to Belarus next July as a United Nations Ambassador. From Yahoo Sports:
“It’s in the beginning stages of what exactly I’m going to be doing,” she said. “But I want to visit the facilities that they’re building right now for the children — computer labs and hospitals.”
Her trip to Chernobyl will last just a few days.
“Unfortunately, I have about 28 days a year for the work that I do and for the sponsors, for the photo shoots and the visits,” she said. “Time is very, very limited.” [SOURCE]
Hmm. She’s 20-years-old. Chernobyl happened 21-years-ago. She’s Amazonian with incredible athletic talent and beauty. I’m wondering if she was morphed from some sort of radioactive mutation or something. Fair question? She is mutant-like in a sexy way.
“I’ve got a few Range Rovers in my garage and I don’t feel I need another car,” said Sharapova. “Maybe I’ll send it to Russia.”
Cars, it seems, are not important to Sharapova, but In-N-Out burgers are. After winning here a year ago, she visited an In-N-Out. “This year I want to do the same thing,” she said. [SOURCE]
For those of you right-coasters, you cannot imagine a better burger than In-N-Out….a delectable California treat that is untouchable. And Maria is a fan?
I must go now and pin that Maria poster on my bedroom wall. She is complete. She is my hero. She is all woman. I hear her roar.
