This week's stretch is not much of one. When the Super Bowl kicks off Sunday, Kate Mara will be enthusiastically backing the Steelers. The Shooter hottie is the great-granddaughter of Pittsburgh Steelers founder Art Rooney. When the Steelers won in 2006 Mara was working on a movie and missed it so she now puts it in contract that if Pittsburgh or the New York Giants (more on that later) makes the Super Bowl she gets to go. That's our kind of girl!

Now, about the Giants ... her great-grandfather Tim Mara founded the franchise and her grandfather, the late Wellington Mara, owned the team. Her uncle, John, is the squad's president and CEO while her dad, Chris Mara, is the Giants' vice-president of player evaluation. Wow! That'd be a nice family to join.

However, Kate certainly has her own charms. She is charming, in a shy kind of way, in interviews and has become a solid actress. I first noticed her in the failed drama Jack and Bobby, where she was the pot smoker who dated a track star whose brother would become president. I also liked her in 24. She was also a cheerleader in We Are Marshall.

As far as looks go, she is an intresting mix. She has a great little body, amazing eyes, nice lips, great hair and a pretty face. Mara has this cute and innocent thing going on but is still definitely sexy.

Check out a good interview with her at Esquire, which is where the pic above is from.

Apparently former Playboy poser Amanda Beard is not dating former Australian swimming champ Ian Thorpe. Is this news? Well, not really but it gives us the excuse to run a pic of lovely Amanda. What do you think of the lighter hair?
As well, this news might also lend credit to the rumors that Thorpe is gay.

Have you seen the "fat photos" of Jessica Simpson at a chilli cookoff? The Ms. Tony Romo looks a little more buxom than usual. Although the "mom jeans" aren't exactly the best look, but what do you think of her increased curves. Is she sexy?

Her photos have attracted quite the media storm of attention. Even her little sister got in on it and defended her big sis. However, was it all for nothing? Think Fashion has posted pics of Jessica in tight leather pants that it says show she isn't really as big as the former photos made her look.

What do you think? Is the chilli cookoff Jess hot?

While the men get all the attention at the Super Bowl, there are plenty of hotties around for our enjoyment around. Rhianna rocked this sexy black outfit at the Pepsi Smash Super Bowl XLIII Bash.
Country songbird Faith Hill will add her MILF touch to the pre-game festivities, along with John Legend.
Before the game gets going, Jennifer Hudson will perform the national anthem. How do you feel about Ms. Dream Girls? Hottie? Attractive? Ordinary?
Then the Boss - Bruce Springsteen himself - and the E Street Band will rock the world. The band of course includes Bruce's wife, Patti Scialfa. I have always thought that the redhead, a talented singer/songwriter, has been an underrated older hottie.

Unless something disastrous happens or there is a blowout, Arizona Cardinals quarterback Matt Leinart will not take a snap against the Pittsburgh Steelers. However, don't feel bad for the former USC golden boy and Heisman winner. Just look at some of the ladies he has allegedly bedded.

There is Brynn Cameron, his baby mama. Although they had a big of a public dispute over payments and visitation rights, recent articles say the pair are friends. Cameron has a unique, athletic, California kind of look. The USC basketball player has been pretty good on the court recently, earning a Pac-10 Player of the Week award.

He also used to allegedly date Paris Hilton, the hotel heiress, reality TV star, "star" of the bomb Hottie and the Nottie and ... well ... sex tape superstar. Except for the fact that she is famous for being famous, I really don't get Paris' appeal. She doesn't seem real friendly and there are concerns about her smarts. I really don't think she is really that smoking hot.

Kristin Cavallari also apparently landed the Super Bowl bound pivot. Her claim to fame was her role in Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County and she has appeared in some TV shows (Veronica Mars, CSI: New York) and is set to be some movies. Her career might not be amazing, but she is nice to look at. She has a nice body, a pretty face and great smile.

Who will win the Super Bowl on the field Sunday? The bigger question is who has the hottest wives and girlfriends.

My vote goes to the Steelers. Big Ben's girl Missy Peregrym is hot, while Mike Tomlin's wife Kiya as girl next door charm. As for the Cardinals crew, there are some beautiful ladies but Brenda Warner scares me. This former Marine could seriously hurt me.

This Canadian hottie is allegedly dating Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger or she once did ... I keep reading conflicting reports. Anyway, what seems to be true is that Big Ben has a good eye for the ladies. He, of course, once dated stunning LPGA golfer Natalie Gulbis.

Ben seems to like the athletic types as Missy Peregrym was active in a variety of spots in high school. She still sports a great athletic bod and great long legs.

Missy currently stars as a love interest in Reaper and was on Heroes for a bit. She certainly doesn't mind being on shows with other hotties as she has had guest stints on Heroes, Smallville, the Chris Isaak Show, Dark Angel, Jake 2.0 and appeared in the atrocious Catwoman with Halle Barry.
