Brooklyn Decker Is The Friday Night Parting Shot Girl


Okay let's keep our official "Vanessa Rousso Was in the 2009 SI Swimsuit Issue So Let's Post As Many Models From the Mag as We Can Week" going just a tad longer by making Brooklyn Decker our Friday Night Parting Shot Girl. As we said earlier, the 21-year-old Decker just might be the most perfect girl in the world. She's insanely hot, has a smoking body, loves sports, and even better, she's a Tarheel fan which means she frickin' hates Duke. Yep, Decker could give Keeley Hazell a run for her money as the Official WCP Girl of 2009, although that just may be the meth her photos and this video talking.

Check out Brooklyn Decker's SI Swimsuit Issue photos here and below.

BTW, Bar Refaeli Is The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue Cover Girl


2009-02-09-bar

Congrats Leo, you can now add "Banging SI cover model" to your resume. 

We kind of buried the lead in the last post or maybe forgot to mention it specifically but poker player Leonard DiCaprio's girlfriend Bar Refaeli has been announced as this year's Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue cover girl.

While we stopped masturbating getting excited about the SI Swimsuit Issue around
the time Elle MacPherson was on the cover wearing a one piece wedged up
her frontside
and we were still getting hand jobs from the junior cheerleading squad, Bar on the cover has peaked our interest again. She's been a long time WCP fave thanks to her superb bikini wearing talents (some past posts/pics here, here, here and here) so it's nice to see her get the nod after getting bumped by Marisa Miller last year.

Of note, if you stare at her pulling down her bikini bottoms long enough in the photo above, you'll waste a good portion of your day.

Go straight to Bar Refaeli's SI video and photo gallery here.

UPDATE: Current favorite.

A Bunch of Friends and Family Lead WPT Southern Poker Championship But Whatever Vanessa Rousso Talks About the SI Swimsuit Issue


The WPT Southern Poker Championship is in the money with a leaderboard that can best be described as "anti-star-studded." Or would that be unstar-studded? Or would that be dim lightbulb-studded? Anyone?

The friends and family dim lightbulb-studded top five are: Allen Carter (776,000), Tyler Smith (695,000), Stewart Yancik (619,000), Florian Langmann (603,000), Soheil Shamseddin (560,000).

Also still alive (although short-stacked) is Vanessa Rousso, who went to Duke. Although for SEO purposes we may be extending that to "SI Swimsuit Model Vanessa Rousso, who went to Duke." She caught up with Amanda Leatherman and confirms that: 1) she will be in the SI Swimsuit edition for sure, 2) it comes out in late February, 3) she has no idea what the pics look like yet, and 4) she's wearing half of a wetsuit top and bikini bottom in one and a light blue bikini in the other.

So there you have it. Get full chip counts here.

Vanessa Rousso to Appear in Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue


Wow we have an unbelievable sixth sense when it comes to half-naked girls.

For no apparent reason we decided to make a blurry pic of Duke grad Vanessa Rousso our “Caption This” pic (despite others with much more potential), and about an hour after posting, we learn that she’ll appear in the next Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue.

Seriously.
