Former Vols superstar Candace Parker lights up the cover of ESPN The Magazine with her killer smile. She also certainly fills up the cover with her belly. The PR for the issue promotes it as the first cover featuring a pregnant athlete. Is that surprising? Unless LeBron, Kobe, Peyton or Manny are slated for some Sweedish operations I don't think we'll see it again soon.

Some think the pic is great. But Parker (who is the sister of Toronto Raptors guard Anthony Parker) has taken some heat for the pregnancy, which came before she married the T-Wolves Shelden Williams, who once played for the hated Duke University Dookies. Even some thought she should have better planned her baby around the WNBA season!

In other, sports mom's news, the New York Times has a feature on USC cutie Brynn Cameron, who is the baby mamma of the Cardinals' Matt Leinart.

Tennis superstar recently announced that his girlfriend Mirka Vavrinec is pregnant with the couple's first child. In publicizing the announcement DeadSpin.com (always a great read) ran the headline: "Roger Federer and Dowdy-Looking Woman to Become Parents."
The pic they have of her is not the best, but ... what do you think?
Did Federer procreate with someone beneath him? Is she actually a hottie? Or is she more of a hometown cutie? Or is she, as DeadSpin kindly puts it, a "dowdy-looking woman? Let us know.

Katelyn Pippy has earned some sort of fame with her role on the Lifetime series Army Wives. Of course, no men watch that show and especially not that channel. However, it should be noted the show does feature former JAG hottie Catherine Bell and her amazing rack and Desperate Housewives co-star Dana Delaney, who did something for me back in her China Beach days.

Anyway, Pippy is cast as Delaney's daughter on the show. She is certainly a pretty girl and, as a teen, is a definite up and comer.

It should also be noted that she is a pretty good hockey goalie. Check out this DeadSpin story for more.

Check out the love of our life, Anna Kournikova is these new K-Swiss ad pics, thanks to Fan IQ. She looks better than ever!

One of the top scorers in NCAA hoops, Britney Jackson used to work as an exotic dancer. It brings up the obvious question, which current or former women's hoopster would you like to see on the pole. Here are some of my faves:
Kristen "Ace" Clement: Sure, Ace has not played in a long time, but the former beauty queen who played for the "Devil" with the Lady Vols still makes me excited.



Candance Parker and Lisa Leslie: As well as being perhaps the two best female basketball players EVER, these two are also stunning. Parker has an amazing smile, while Leslie is just plain feminine sexy. Think of all of those long limbs wrapped around the pole!






Becky Hammon: While she might play the Russian national team, there is no doubt that this South Dakota beauty is an all-American girl. That kind of charm certainly would work on stage.



Stacey Dales: The former college star and WNBA player has a certain kind of charm. Also her recent so-called "diva behavior" might be just what some men are looking for at a gentleman's club.

What do you think? Who'd do you like to see most onstage?

Or maybe it is someone else? Leggie Aussie Lauren Jackson? Her girl-next-door Storm teammate Sue Bird? Deanna Nolan? Swin Cash? Or maybe you'd prefer some of these hotties from last year's NCAA tourney?

Scoring at a rate better than all but one female and male player in all NCAA divisions, Texas A&M-Commerce's Britney Jordan certainly knows what to do with a basketball. In her past, she also demonstrated some skill with a poll.
After leaving Temple University before her sophomore season, Jordan worked off and on as an exotic dancer in the Philadelphia area to make ends meet and as she says just to "exist." A&M-Commerce gave her a shot and she certainly took advantage of it.
She is averaging just over 30 a game and dropped a conference record 53 points in January.
Check out the full story on her from the Dallas Morning News.

Curling? Yup, we're serious. Winnipeg's Jennifer Jones just won something called the Scotties Tournament of Hearts for the second year and third time. It is Canada's women's curling championship.

Jones did it in dramatic fashion by surviving the strange "page" playoff system and making some big shots when it counts. While her on ice success is certainly evident, it is her looks that steal our hearts. She has that wonderful blonde mane and a great toothy grin. Besides, doesn't it turn you on when a woman yells hurry hard?

Unfortunately, Jones is not one of the nude ladies featured in the latest Women of Curling calendar.

Also, in spite of her sexiness, Jones has not been featured in a metal band video like the Swedish women's Olympic rink was a few years back.
