Hump Day: Maria Sharapova

May 21st, 2008 by NextRound

We realize 9 out of 10 NextRound readers are hardcore Women’s Tennis junkies, so please indulge us as we catch up the other 10% on all things Sharapova.

Sharapova: Russian for So hot right now.

She’s ranked #1 in the world thanks to the early retirement of Justine Henin, she’s about to enter the French Open (the only major she hasn’t won), and she can wing a football better than half the quarterbacks on scholarship at your alma mater (video below).

She’s also aging nicely, definitely looking less boyish and more womanly (probably why Maxim now thinks Danica Patrick is the hotter female athlete). Maria pretty much has attractiveness cornered in the tennis world (as long as Rafael Nadal is not in the equation, of course).

If you think about it, Sharapova is hands down the biggest benefactor from the Anna Kournikova experiment. Sure, you don’t have the urge to desecrate her quite as much as you did with Anna, but Anna set the bar so low from a tennis ability/Latin pop singer standpoint, Maria was set to succeed. Way to take advantage sweetheart.

Maria’s Hump Day Bio

Age: 21

Born In: Russia

Resides In: Bradenton, FL. Hometown of Team Cool & Tough’s very own Old Balls SMac. He once broke into Maria’s house just so he could say he took a dump in her bathroom.

Height: Probably taller than you flat-footed. Definitely taller than you in heels (she’d be wearing the heels, not you).

Figure: Toned.

Probability That She’s Better Than You at Everything: High.

How Far You’d Emasculate Yourself to Bang Her: Getting a WTA bumper sticker and pretending to be into A-Cups.

Famous For: Being good at tennis. Grunting without grossing you out. Not being scared to cash an endorsement check. Having her ass licked (figuratively, we think) by the mainstream media.

Hump Day: Kelly Brook

May 14th, 2008 by NextRound

We mentioned Kelly Brook in yesterday’s Daily Awesomeness and — in doing so — reminded ourselves of our pension for British chicks with huge boobs.

For those of you not familiar, Kelly is moderately famous in the UK and makes her living as a Model/Actress, which is code for “hot and talentless” in the business. We know from the summer we spent as an Abercrombie model.

Kelly’s Hump Day Bio

Age: 28

Height: Tall enough to seem vaguely threatening.

Figure: Shapely.

Amount of Debt You’d Readily Take on to Bang Her: 20K.

Famous For: Looking good in a bathing suit. Having an awesome rack. Being adored by T&A bloggers everywhere.

Places Besides the Internet Where You May Have Seen Her (But Probably Didn’t): WB’s “Smallville” (her super power was pulling off an American accent), her brief role in “The Italian Job” (you were busy trying to figure out if it’s gay to drive a Mini), or the pages of FHM (don’t admit to having a subscription).

Hump Day: Blake Lively

May 7th, 2008 by NextRound

Since we’ve seemingly been consumed by “Gossip Girl” lately (here, here, and all 90 hours of Booth’s DVR) we thought it would be a good idea to spend this Hump Day objectifying one of the chicks from the show in order to once again reaffirm how ridiculously heterosexual we are.

Of course, it’s just our luck that the most humpable (and legal) chick on the show happens to have a dude’s first name. But whatever. We’re not gay, you are. We’d give Blake Lively a lift to Poundtown even if her name was Ralph.

Blake’s Hump Day Bio

Age: 20.

Height: Tall.

Figure: Gazelle-like.

Anatomy You’d Readily Give Up to Bang Her: Appendix.

Famous For: Being the star of “Gossip Girl”. Making the show slightly bearable for thousands of pervy married dudes everywhere who are forced to watch.

Hump Day: Edyta Sliwinska

April 30th, 2008 by NextRound

As the Jason Taylor v. Bill Parcells news continues to heat up the more clips we’re seeing of Taylor douching it up on “Dancing With the Stars”, and hence, the more obvious it’s becoming to us that we really want to bang Taylor’s dancing partner (if you were anticipating “take up ballroom”, please leave immediately).

Pretty much all you need to know is: Her name’s Edyta, She’s Polish (heh, heh), She dances for a living, and She used to be partnered up with Joey Lawrence (Whoa!).

But for good measure we’ll elaborate even further…

Edyta’s Hump Day Bio

Age: 26. Most Polish chicks her age are well on their way to being grandmothers by now.

What She Does Besides Dance: Hocks workout videos (that also involve dancing) on her website. Her site also promotes voyeurism.

Marital Status: Married. But the dude’s also a dancer, so this may be one of those gay dude / someone needed a green card marriages.

Awesomest “Star” She’s Been Paired With: Cliff from “Cheers”, hands down. Joey Lawrence is a distant second.

Hump Day: Katrina Bowden

April 23rd, 2008 by NextRound

The Sitcom Bi-Laws demand that every show meet a certain eye candy prerequisite. Katrina Bowden fills just that void for “30 Rock”. She plays the biscuit intern who you can bank on getting a solid thirty seconds of camera time every episode. She also gets her very own set of lines every third episode or so, which, to her credit, she delivers impeccably while also rocking a super short skirt.

But despite Katrina’s part being rather small, her role on “30 Rock” is quite large. You see, without Katrina delivering the necessary dose of hotness each week, guys like us would get too distracted by Tina Fey’s lack of hotness to appreciate the comedy at hand. Katrina’s role is integral to our viewing pleasure. Why the Emmys don’t hand out an award for the work pretty ladies like her do is beyond us.

So, to show our own personal appreciation, we’ll be using this Wednesday morning to help everyone get to know her better.

Katrina’s Hump Day Bio

Age:19. We can safely say we had no idea she was this young when we started this segment. She was in middle school when we were in college. Weird.

Hometown: Wycoff, New Jersey. Loves the Shore. Loves Jager. Loves the Jets.

Fantasy Career Aspirations: Feature film star in the vein of Gwyneth Paltrow.

Realistic Career Expectations: Supporting roles in poorly conceived comedies. Joining the Off Broadway cast of “The Vagina Monologues”. Marrying some B actor she meets on the set of “30 Rock”.

Hump Day: Mila Kunis

April 16th, 2008 by NextRound

You of course know Mila Kunis from “That 70’s Show”. You’ve also probably seen her in the previews for “Forgetting Sarah Marshall”, which is opening this weekend. We’ve never taken a screenwriting class, but seeing that Mila doesn’t play Sarah Marshall, we’re willing to go out on a limb and guess she plays the chick that helps the dude forget Sarah Marshall. Just a hunch.

We’d all but forgotten Mila since “That 70’s Show” went off the air (which technically happened in 2006, but was more like 2004 as far as the viewing public is concerned), so her transformation from teenage jailbait to sophisticated pretty lady is quite the pleasant surprise. Amazing what a little eye brow wax can do, eh?

And lucky you, you’ll be seeing more of Mila in the near future. She’s landed a role in “Max Payne” with Marky Mark and is apparently giving this film career a serious go of it. Not bad for someone who spent a large portion of her youth in the presence of Ashton Kutcher. You would think there would be some serious repercussions from regular exposure to such high levels of obnoxious no-talentness. Then again, you don’t know who Mila is currently dating (more on that after the jump).

Mila’s Hump Day Bio

Age: 24. She lied about her age to land her role on “That 70’s Show”. She was only 15 and pretended to be turning 18. One of the few stories you’ll ever be able to reference where the underage chick said she was 18 and things turned out well for all parties.

Hometown: Born in Kiev (now in the Ukraine) and moved to Los Angeles when she was 8. Learned to speak English by watching Bob Barker on “The Price is Right”. Just when you think Barker can’t contribute any more to society you get a piece of information like this. The guy’s face should be on currency at this point.

Hump Day: Jenna Fischer

April 9th, 2008 by NextRound

“The Office” returns tomorrow and it’s just in time for us to celebrate the most under-appreciated chick in the biz: Jenna Fischer.

Jenna’s not Marissa Miller by any means, but Hump Day’s not solely about celebrating the hotness of chicks that are paid to be hot, it’s also about celebrating the pretty ladies that bring that real life flavor to the table.

We dig Jenna because she epitomizes that one chick in everyone’s office that all the dude’s eventually want to bang. They frump her up big time to play Pam, but she still grows on you on a weekly basis. Is she a L.A. “10″? Of course not. But just like that chick in your office she doesn’t need to be when her competition is so unfortunate looking. That she’s not completely insufferable and has a nice front court only strengthen her cause.

Jenna’s Hump Day Bio

Age: 34. Translated: Seasoned. She might take you home.

Hometown: Fort Wayne, Indiana. Indiana’s second largest city, which is kind of like being the second biggest loser at Comicon.

Where You May Have Seen Jenna:

  • “The Office”. You weirdos with the Phyllis fetish may not have noticed her.
  • “Blades of Glory”. The horrifically unfunny Will Ferrell movie. Hands down the only way to watch this flick is to fast forward to the scene with Jenna rocking lingerie, showing off her solid rack that no one knew existed (more on this below).
  • “Walk Hard”. We haven’t see it. Doubt you have. But we are pretty sure it exists. Once it makes it’s way to HBO, let’s all get together and discuss.

Hump Day: Amber Heard

April 2nd, 2008 by NextRound

Amber Heard is a relatively unknown actress we’ve had a bit of a thing for ever since we caught some recent red carpet photos of her rocking a retro look. She pretty much embodies everything Hump Day is about:

  • She’s up and coming (and not in the adult video store sense).
  • She looks solid in overhead bikini shots.
  • There’s just enough info on her for us to make some sub par jokes.
  • And she’s young enough to make us feel a bit uncomfortable.

Enjoy.

Amber’s Hump Day Bio

Age: 21. And looks 18, so she’s pretty much played a high school chick in anything she’s ever been in. Translation: Steve Irony’s favorite Hump Day ever.

Hometown: Austin, Texas. She’s dominated SXSW on more than one occasion and attributes the Longhorns last national championship 100% to Vince Young being awesome and 0% to Mack Brown being a serviceable gameday coach.

Where You May Have Seen Amber:

  • “Alpha Dog”. She’s one of the two chicks that hooks up with the little brother in the pool right before Timberlake just stands there and watches that goofy looking dude shoot him. You can’t say Amber didn’t do her part.
  • “Californication”. You know, the series on Showtime where every hot chick in Hollywood is eager to go down on David Duchovny. We’re pretty sure it’s one big dream sequence.
  • “Friday Night Lights”. The movie. She spent most of filming being asked by Billy Bob if she wanted to go check out the sweet George Forman grill in his trailer.

Hump Day: Kate Bosworth

March 26th, 2008 by NextRound

We’ve covered Kate Bosworth once in this segment back before anyone actually read what we wrote. Needless to say, we don’t feel like we did her justice. And with her new movie “21″ opening this week we think it’s only fair to Kate that we revisit her with the full Hump Day treatment.

Kate, your welcome.

The Bos has always been a bit of a conundrum to us. Sure, we’d put her on the express train to Poundtown, no hesitation, but we’re confused about where we’d rank her in attractiveness compared to most actresses her age. A lot of the time she looks fairly unspectacular. And a lot of the times she looks like she could really use a milkshake.

We’re also not sure what to make of this “21″ flick. Do the previews scream “Where careers go to die” to anyone else? Sure, outsmarting casinos at blackjack–especially when it’s a true story–is pretty interesting, but there’s something low rent about the look and feel of this movie. The guy directing has both “Legally Blonde” AND “Monster-in-Law” on his resume, so that can’t be it. But then you’ve got the Bos, Kevin Spacey, and Larry Fishburne signing up to play supporting roles. We’re getting a serious mail-in vibe.

But whatever. “21″ could suck ass through a straw and spell the end of Kate’s career as a leading lady. The important thing to take away is that Kate looks pretty awesome in a black wig. Of course by “looks pretty awesome” we mean “we would have no issue compensating her for thirty minutes of her time”.

Kate, welcome back to Hump Day.

Kate’s Hump Day Bio

Age: 25. So she was like 23 when she played Lois Lane? Weird.

Height: Short to mid-sized.

Weight: Like our golf game, constantly working to break a hundred.

Hometown: Los Angeles, yet she claims she kind of fell into acting. We call bullshit.

Where You’ve Seen Kate:

  • “Blue Crush“. You know you saw it, keep lying to yourself.
  • “Superman Returns”. Where she apparently played a version of Lois Lane that was a Pulitzer Prize winning reporter at age 19. You could throw a midget through all the holes in that movie.
  • “Remember the Titans“. She filled the role of ‘racist daughter asking for a hate effing’.
  • “Win a Date with Tad Hamilton“. Remember? You walked out swearing you read somewhere it was funny.

Hump Day: Cheryl Tweedy

March 19th, 2008 by NextRound

Cheryl Tweedy is a member of the new, less popular version of the Spice Girls called Girls Aloud. We’re extremely happy to announce we don’t know any of their work. Cheryl also goes by Cheryl Cole ever since marrying English footballer Ashley Cole in 2006. That’s not quite as cool as it may sound though seeing that Ashley is actually a dude and his version of football is actually soccer.

After spending some time getting to know Abigail Clancy a few weeks back we’ve been on a big WAG kick. At first we thought we might actually be growing to like soccer, but after attempting to watch a match the other day we’ve come to the pretty safe conclusion that we’re just into hot chicks with British accents and great boobs.

Cheryl’s Hump Day Bio

Age: 24.

Hometown: Newcastle upon Tyne, England. We’ve done some extensive research and still have no fucking clue how someone’s hometown is “upon” some other town. Crazy Brits. We are certain that Newcastle is also the home of Sting though. We’re even more certain that King of Pain is an awesome track.

Where You May Have Seen Cheryl: Nowhere outside of sports blogs finding an excuse to post hot pictures of her unless you’re into all-girl pop groups, Chelsea soccer, or network television in the UK, all of which pretty much preclude you from being a fan of this site.
