Interesting story about some of the world being bad for your computer. Check it out here.

Anyone hoping to watch some awesome babes in the 2009 French Open finals had to be disappointed. Defending champ Ana Ivanovic, Jelena Jankovic, Maria Sharapova, Serena Williams, Venus Williams, Maria Kirilenko ... all eliminated.

The finals? The No. 1 player in the world (according to the computer) Dinara Safina and Svetlana Kuzetsova. We will say that Safina has played very well (with a couple of hiccups), but she is not a looker, no disrespect intended.

How about Kuzetsova? One article details how she is treated differently than Sharapova because of her looks. Kuzetsova is definitely in great shape, is known for being very nice and there is a cuteness to her. But is she a hottie?

P.S. Please don't confuse her with the model with the same name (Now, that girl is hot!)

If you have a thing for tall women, then you should have been Down Under recently. Australian Olympic team center Suzy Batkovic got married and her bridesmaids were (at left) former WNBA MVP Lauren Jackson of the Seattle Storm, Trisha Fallon and Penny Taylor, who has been injured and might or might not rejoin the Phoenix Mercury this year. The basketball beauties all played together on the Aussie national team.

What's better than a quartet of gorgeous tall women with cool accents? Girls who enjoy getting naked. The high class Aussie magazine Black+White has captured Jackson, Taylor and Fallon in the nude over the years.

Click on the links to see these Olympic ladies in all of their glory. NSFW. Hint: You have to scroll down past the Jackson pics to see Taylor.

Swedish swimming star Therese Alshammar's attempts to keep her breasts concealed have cost her a world record.
On March 17, the 31-year-old hottie (check out her body here) who was once voted Sweeden's sexiest woman set the record in the 50m butterfly. She posted a time of 25.44sec, which was 0.02 of a second better than the record she set in Barcelona in June, 2007.
However, the former Olympic medalist was stripped of the record. FINA has a rule which mandates that swimmers can only wear one suit. Officials say swimmers sporting two high-tech suits have an unfair advantage as there is greater compression and flotation.

Alshammar was wearing two when she set the record. The idea was to keep her ta-tas covered up. Her suit was uni-sex so it wasn't quite cut for her body. As well, these suits are skin tight and some can become almost see-through when wet.

"I have obviously not understood the rules of the Australian championships. I was wearing a unisex suit which does not cover my chest completely so I need to wear an old cut-down suit underneath. I thought it was a modesty suit. It's just so I don't fall out the side, to feel more comfortable."

- Alshammar in The Australian

The meet she set the record in was in Australia. The Aussies have a rule allowing "modesty suits," but it only allows for bikini briefs.

"I thought a modesty suit would be a modesty suit," Alshammar told Channel 10 television. "I would almost claim that's a bit sexist saying that the men can cover their private parts up with briefs and women can only also wear briefs.

"I would totally, even though I'm Swedish, understand that a modesty suit would be to cover your modest parts. I guess you can't even wear a modesty suit any more."

- Alshammar in Asia One News

Appparently in Beijing, swimmers wearing more than one suit had great success. Italian hottie Federica Pellegrini set a record when she won the 200m freestyle at the Olympics.
Aussie babe Stephanie Rice is in favour of the extra suit ban and questions why an athlete would wear one as the rules have been publicized. Of course, Rice has proven to be one not to worry about her modesty. Remember the Olympian's controversial Facebook pics?

The AVP has unveiled some sexy ads for the upcoming beach volleyball tour. In one of the ads, they actually brought in a model's butt to use (see it here). Why would you bring in someone else when you have one of greatest bums in the world already - Misty May-Treanor's?

It is so hot that former President Bush was scared to tough it for fear he would be burned. Why else wouldn't a heterosexual male want to slap that fine thing?

May-Treanor has teamed with Kerri Walsh, "Six Feet of Sunshine," to win two Olympic gold medals and various other championships. However, she suffered a major injury on Dancing With The Stars so she has some time off. Couldn't she have pulled on a bikini and showed off her fine keister?

Like any company, the AVP beach volleyball tour wants to market its best face. It just so happens that face is actually an ass (See the New York Times article here). With all the ridiculously toned bodies on the beach, the AVP has launched a print, online and outdoor ad campaign that features - among other things - butts.

The behind above is that of AVP player Tyra Turner (pictured). It is kind of funny though that with all the hot bodies the sport does have that in another ad (which you can see here) a "stunt butt" had to be used.

That's right - they brought in a model to use. Why didn't they just use Misty May-Treanor's stupendous buttocks? The ad campaign does reportedly use Kerri Walsh (not sure which body part), who has partnered with Misty May-Treanor, who is recovering from a serious injury sustained during her work on Dancing with The Stars, to win Olympic gold medals and various championships.

Interestingly enough, the person who oversees the AVP's marketing is Kristine Lefebvre. You might remember her from her sting on the Apprentice. Or maybe you recall she was a Playboy covergirl?

WNBA star and former Lady Vols standout Candace Parker got the cover of ESPN the magazine. So, what ate people fired up about? The fact the reporter, a woman, references the fact that Shelden Williams' baby mama has got C-cup ta tas (actually, due to ger pregnancy, they are might be approaching D-cup territory).

There is a lot of talk on the SportsJournalists.com forum about whether it is appropriate. DeadSpin.com, as always, has the scoop.
