Raffaella Fico is a stunning Italian model who once tried to auction her virginity for £1 million, only to back out of the deal when she received an £855,000 offer. She’s also dating Cristiano Ronaldo. These videos show why the soccer star scooped her up. This wardrobe malfunction on the Italian Big Brother is the closest us regular guys will get to knowing Raffaella like Ronaldo does.

There’s a week until the NCAA Tournament tips off but there’s only one day left to vote on the Sports Illustrated Greatest Bracket Ever that matched up all-time SI swimsuit covers. The finals feature Veronica Verakova’s 2004 cover shot in Montauk, NY and Brooklyn Decker’s 2009 cover in Grenada. It’s going to take a miracle for Verakova to win because Decker has 92.9 percent of the votes. I’ll be impressed if Veronica can cut her deficit to 75 percent. Too bad the Sports Illustrated brackets can’t be watched online like the NCAA Tournament.

You have to try really hard to find something wrong with Brooklyn Decker so the flight attendants at AirTran had to have worked long hours brewing this special batch of Haterade. AirTran put a Brooklyn Decker decal on ONE Boeing 737 in their fleet and it sent the AirTran air waitresses into a fit. Here’s the picture. The outrage is below.

“It is our feeling that this is not only contrary to the family image that this company tries to promote, but also potentially offensive to their female employees, the majority of their flight attendants who will have to work on this aircraft,” the union said, adding that it “creates a potential for verbal abuse by male passengers.”

I’ll admit the picture is bad for the self-esteem of 99 percent of AirTran’s employees but that doesn’t mean they had to complain. Southwest Airlines flight attendants had no problem with a similar promotion last year so for the love of Brooklyn Decker suck it up AirTran.

Nobody but friends and family watches the women on the LPGA tour. I say that with all due respect. That’s why I have to knock the LPGA’s Vote for the 16th Player to play for the $1 million purse at The Mojo 6. Since the women on tour are largely unknown, most men will simply vote for whoever they consider the hottest chick. It’s a scientific fact.. There’s no stats or info about the golfers, just pictures. This makes it pretty easy to whittle down the list of 12 to the top five contenders.

Milka Duno is a sexy race car driver that hails from Venezuela although she now calls Miami home. The comparisons to Danica Patrick are easy to make. Both have dark-hair, are easy on the eyes, and like to drive really fast. Dale Coyne Racing recently signed Duno to her first full season on the IndyCar Series. If she drives how she looks Milka Duno will have no problems with the full-time gig.

Sideline hottie Erin Andrews will appear on the new season of Dancing With the Stars and has already started training for her appearance on the show. So far she says her feet are killing her due to the intense training her partner Maks is putting her through. Maks had an unusual critique of the sexy Andrews during their practice session that EA discussed with WCNN’s Buck and Kincade. Via Sports Radio Interviews:

“A good three hour practice, four hour practice and my dogs are barking. I am not really used to spins and turns in high heels. It is different. Imagine this. Maks says that I walk like a guy. I wonder why. I am surrounded by them 24/7 so now I got to walk like a chick. I am learning how.”

I’ve seen Erin Andrews on TV and in videos a countless number of times and never once did it cross my mind that she walks like a guy. I think Maks is using the tough-love technique.

Here’s Erin talking about her appearance on DWTS:

Brittney Griner is a freshman on Baylor’s women’s basketball team that was best known for dunking until she punched Texas Tech’s Jordan Barncastle in the face last night. Griner took exception to Barncastle swinging her by the arm and retaliated with a right to the face. I think it’s safe to say she won’t be joining her teammates in the women’s NCAA tournament.

Hunter Mahan won the Waste Management Phoenix Open on Sunday by one-stroke over fellow Oklahoma State alum Rickie Fowler. Mahan picked up $1.08 million for the win and he owes some of the prize to his girlfriend and Dallas Cowboys cheerleader Kandi Harris. Hunter noticed a crack in his driver on the second hole but Kandi was there to save the day. She went to his car for the back-up driver and made it back in time for Mahan to tee off on the Par-5 third hole. On a girlfriend scale of 1-10 Kandi rates as awesome.
