As you guys know, we had heavy Olympics coverage here on the Bastardly & naturally, gymnastics was one of the heavy hitters. As member of the American gymnastics team, Shawn Johnson came up absolutely huge during the Olympics! She is the 2008 Olympic women's balance beam gold medalist & the individual all-around silver medalist, so many congrats to the 16-year old from Des Moines, Iowa. Many congrats to her.

Here are a few pics of Shawn as she walked into Ed Sullivan Theater to do Letterman a couple nights back...

What It Feels Like...to Pose for Your First Nude Photo

For the first minute, I just wanted to know what John thought and whether or not I looked okay. And then at a certain point I just forgot that I wasn’t wearing any clothes. By the end, I had this abandon and this confidence. I felt sexy. I’m not an exhibitionist, but this made me understand how it’s thrilling to be the center of attention, to be the sexiest one in the room. At one point I think John had to be reminded to focus his camera, and I’m wondering, Is it because I’m affecting him?

Since the shoot, I’ve started taking a good look at myself every time I get out of the shower. And I’m pleased. I definitely take a little longer getting dressed now. Esquire

These were snapped a few days back, so I'm pretty sure the poor man doing the kissing is in the ER as we speak. Let's hope everything works out for the best, but then again, what the fuck was he thinking?!

Anyway, these were snapped after an appearance on "The Morning Show with Mike and Juliet" in NYC. Venus & sister Serena recently jetted away from China as Olympic doubles gold medalist, so major props for that.

OK! Interview: Maria Sharapova

Off the court Maria is known for her fresh look and sleek style. Her best beauty tip? "Less is much, much more," she advises.

While she won't say whether or not the low maintenance approach has helped her net that lucky someone, she does confess that the right guy doesn't necessarily have to have a killer backhand.

"Just like any other woman, I want them to be their normal self, I want them to have their own life and to respect the business that I’m in," she says. Source

Russian Kanaeva floors her rivals

RUSSIA'S Evgeniya Kanaeva won gold in the rhythmic gymnastics individual all-around competition yesterday, posting the highest score in all four rotations of the event.

Kanaeva got identical scores of 18.850 on her rope and hoop routines before wowing the judges with a club routine that earned her 18.950. The routine included a nifty move that involved balancing a club on her ankle while rotating her body around on the mat.

Clad in bright pink with a matching ribbon, she finished the competition with a routine that gave her a total of 75.500 and the convincing win. [The Star Online]
