By Far the Worst News of the Decade: Tennis Player Simona Halep to Have Breast Reduction

This is a story from May of 2009 but it was such a dark day in history that I thought it bears reprinting.

Earlier this month in an interview with the Romanian site ProSport, Simona Halep stated her wishes to have breast reduction surgery. Upon explaining her reasoning behind such a decision, she pointed to the added weight and difficulty in carrying her jugs over to every ball that gets hit her way.

I do not believe that physical appearance has an effect on performance, so I help with anything in the sport. My mind bust when I go on the field and even if I were sporting, I would have felt very good. (My Breasts) inconvenience me, it’s very hard with them. It’s a weight in addition to confound me speed response. I can not go on very well. Shoot me down. Nothing in life is not like me even though sport was not all I was doing surgery”, revealed Halep. “Surgical intervention should take place last year, but probably will use it in autumn, because the postponement might cause problems in the column.”

Here’s my theory on this and I’m being 100% honest. First of all Simona will be losing a ton of money in endorsements if and when she undergoes the surgery. Secondly, she’ll be losing a ton of money for pro tennis because of all the money they can make off of her bustage. Think Anna Kournikova and her hotness (breasts would be a whole new element).

Womens tennis needs a new hottie. Ana Ivanovic can certainly hold her own. Personally I’m not a huge fan of Sharapova. But honestly when have we ever seen a female tennis player with talent up top like Halep?

Here’s the thing. If she were a top ten player I can understand it. But why not ride this out for a while and see if you can be good with the boobs? I don’t know. There are more implications to this than Simona thinks.

Katy Perry Loves Her Breasts Now

Katy Perry covers the December issue of 'Harper's Bazaar,' and inside she talks about her husband, her boobs and her career.

Here are a few excerpts from the interview, read the whole thing here and scroll down for photos. 

On husband Russell Brand and his spiritual quest:
"I always knew I wanted a great man of God, someone who was going to be an inspiration for people and also be a lovely husband and father. We're at different places in our lives, but we can still grow together. He's thought-provoking, articulate, a real advocate. I also definitely wanted to have a laugh. I have all that in him."

On her image:
"I'm kind of a good girl--and I'm not. I'm a good girl because I really believe in love, integrity, and respect. I'm a bad girl because I like to tease. I know that I have sex appeal in my deck of cards. But I like to get people think­ing. That's what the stories in my music do."

On wanting a breast reduction at age 13:
"I had really bad back problems and was a little bit thicker. Then I grew up and lost the baby fat and said, 'Hey, this isn't all that bad.'"
