Former World No. 1 tennis hottie Ana Ivanovic has used her celebrity status as well as her lithe figure to boost the brand image of Sports Illustrated’s Swimsuit 2010 issue.
Ivanovic, 22, posed in a variety of tennis props, wrapping herself in a tennis net as well as spreading out in a bed of pink tennis balls — all shot by renowned photographer Marlena Bielinska in New York. Ana was one of the several female athletes featured in the SI issue, but for Ana, who has modeled before, this was the first SI appearance.
The Serbian tennis star was seeded 20th at the 2010 Australian Open, where she reached the second round where she lost Gisela Dulko 6–7(6), 7–5, 6–4. Ivanovic’s next tennis appearance will be at the 2010 BNP Paribas Open, in Indian Wells, California, from March 8 through March 21.

Ever wonder what Hayden Panettiere has always been up to with that famous ‘half-smile’ of hers? The Heroes star has revealed it all in the August issue of Details magazine.
Hayden Panettiere
The 19-year-old “I Love You, Beth Cooper” (released a couple days ago), girl says the half-smile is ’survival kit’.
As the story goes, Hayden opened out when a couple of Jewish tourists wanted to photograph her at an LA restaurant. Apparently, Hayden was the first celebrity they met, so… hey, they wanted a picture. Which, of course, Hayden was kind enough to give them.
To quote Details:
“Thank you so much. Thank you. I’m sorry,” they say as they (Jewish men) back out of the restaurant, already reviewing the images on the camera.
“I gave them a half-smile,” she (Hayden) says matter-of-factly. “It’s a survival skill.”
So what gives?
Well, that’s Hayden’s explanation. But while most Hayden fans would be familiar with that ‘half-smile’, I still wonder what it means. Then again, I’m only a ‘half-fan’ of hers, as well.
What’s the intrigue about that half smile? What do you think? Something to do with ‘mean girls’?
Perhaps these photos of Hayden Panettiere might help prove a point in bikini and short pants.
Perhaps not. Either way, feel free to CLICK and zoom in on her… she won’t bite. Unfortunately.

Australian-born, New York-based hottest rising star on the celebrity brand modeling horizon, Jessica Hart has moved on from being a cover girl for glossies — she’s just been named the face of US lingerie brand Victoria’s Secret and Australian swimwear company Seafolly.
Though Hart’s modeling career closely follows that of her Australian counterpart Miranda Kerr, she’s getting to be known down under just now. Hart, 23, recently did Seafolly’s photo shoot for its international campaign on a private island off the coast of Cairns in Queensland, Australia.
(Recall then 19-year-old Catherine McNeil was modeling Seafolly beach and swimwear just under a year ago?)
I can’t wait to the photos, but then word has it that Victoria’s Secret is toning down the sexy aspect of lingerie ads… but I figure with Jessica in front of the camera, that could be a hard thing to do.
Hart has also talked about launching her own designs. “I’m also in talks with people to design my own line of clothes in collaboration with a charity, but I can’t say much on that right now,” she said.
Obviously she’s expanding her resume, so she’s the one to watch out for, as these pictures from Sports Illustrated’s 2009 Swimsuit Issue prove beyond any doubt:

Mark Sanchez, New York Jets all-American quarterback will be featured in the June issue of GQ, modeling what’s claimed to be this summer’s ’sexiest ’70s-inspired swimwear’… and to help prove the point, he’ll be joined by supermodel Hilary Rhoda, 2009 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue girl.
“I wouldn’t necessarily be caught in those shorts,” Sanchez, 22, said. Who was he kidding? I mean, would he have the time or the inclination to worry even about the Baywatch-style swimwear, especially when in the arms of Hilary?
“She was just giving me pointers the whole time. She made me feel really…comfortable,” Sanchez added. “Yeah, she’s, uh…Well, obviously she’s gorgeous.”
Glad you think so, Mark. We certainly do. And… are they dating? Now… that’s actually out of the scope of this blog, but if you’d like to make a guess, you’d most probably be right!
Hilary Rhoda, well… you just can’t have enough of her. The 21-year-old model, whose fame has been sky-rocketing, has already posed for brands such as Balenciaga, Valentino, Dolce & Gabana, Givenchy, Donna Karan, Gucci and Ralph Lauren among others. She is also one of Estée Lauder’s newest faces and has also graced the covers of Vogue, British Harper’s Bazaar and W.

Amber Le Bon, the hottest new face — and body — in the fashion circuit, is the new spokes model for Myla vintage-inspired swimwear line.
Amber, the 19-year-old daughter of Duran Duran frontman Simon Le Bon and legendary model Yasmin Le Bon, is the freshest face among the rock star-born to star for celebrity brands.
She recently catwalked for the Moschino Cheap & Chic show in Milan, and impressed Moschino creative director Rossella Jardini enough for him to comment: “Amber is a fresh, sunny and professional girl.”
She also lead the spring/summer campaign for River Island’s fashion line.
The gorgeous 5ft 10in tall soon-to-be-supermodel has been signed to Models 1, the agency which manages Agyness Deyn and Linda Evangelista. It also represented Yasmin le Bon for the past 18 years.
I think Amber takes to modeling like ducks to water. Obviously, she is set to go miles from Myla.
