You remember last month when Justin Gimelstob tried to make himself relevant, but uttered some degrading (albeit accurate) comments about Anna Kournikova and a few other women's tennis players on tour?

If not, here's a brief snippet:

"She's a bitch... Hate's a very strong word. I just despise her to the maximum level just below hate.

"Definitely not. I have no attraction to her because she's such a douche. I really have no interest in her ... I wouldn't mind having my younger brother, who's a kind of a stud, nail her and then reap the benefits of that. She has a great body but her face is a five (out of ten)."

The much anticipated (not really) crossing of paths between Anna and Justin finally took place this week and as you can tell by the picture, Gimelstob doesn't look attracted to her in the least.

Care to revise your rankings, Justin?

While we're on the subject, we, too, were taking a look at some of Kournikova assets recently and were struck by these recent pictures of her at Miami's Fashion Week.



Has she had some work done? A few things look enhanced from her playing days. If so, doc aced the procedure. Happy Friday.

As you may or may not know, the most recent issue of Playboy is out today with semi-obscure tennis player Ashley Harkleroad in it.

While I have nothing against women posing nude (hey, it's their decision), this Playboy shoot does pretty much mark the end of her relevancy in tennis.

The funny thing is we were supposed to know Harkleroad for so much than just a nude photo shoot by 2008.

She originally broke on to the tour on June 12, 2000, and was quickly billed as the next American tennis superstar. Which, of course, meant she was destined to suck. She's never gotten out of the third round of a major and the highest ranking she ever got to was #39, and that was almost 4 years ago. So needless to say, her time, if she ever had one, has passed.

I don't know her purposes exactly for posing for Playboy, I mean she's said she's comfortable with her body (whatever, everyone who does this says that), but I'd have to think it's more than just that. She's probably come to the realization that she's never going to become what she was supposed to be, so rather than simply fade away, she'll go down in flames.

In some ways that's kind of sad, but by the same token, it's also only human. Most of us want to be remembered in some way, even if it's not for the best of reasons.

But enough of my eulogizing of her career. Here are the SFW versions of her Playboy pictures, and here's a site that'll take you to the NSFW versions.
