Her name is Eve and she’s 7 feet tall:

“We had … her bikini specially made, but it was worth it.”

The question is, gentlemen, would you hit it? I mean, the height thing could make for some awkward moments. I’m a full 6 feet tall but I’ve never been within shouting distance of a woman like this. I have to say, for the story, I’d definitely do it.

She is, without a doubt, the hottest 7 foot…


Candidate Running For Governor In Georgia Is Beyond Bizarre

Oh my. As if the Republican party (to be fair Democrats have their issues in this theater as well) didn’t have enough bizarre members — Diaper fetishist Senator Vitter, wide-set Larry Craig and the list rolls on — now Neal Horsley (remember that last name) enters the picture.

You may already know Neal. He admitted to having sex with farm animals on Hannity and Colmes a while back. Now, the Texas Gubernatorial candidate has tried to up Rick…

In a strange twist, he was found wearing a woman’s thong and had three pairs of women’s underpants stuffed in his shirt pocket.

What looked like a fireball streaked across the Texas sky on Sunday morning, leading many people to call authorities to report seeing falling debris.

“We don’t know what it was,” said Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Roland Herwig.

The Williamson County Sheriff’s Office used a helicopter to search after callers said they thought they saw a plane crashing, a spokesman said.

[flashvideo filename=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aUHn8x8wk_o /]

The Southern California woman who gave birth to octuplets last week told TODAYs Ann Curry in an exclusive interview that growing up as an only child, she had always dreamed of having a huge family. She also denied charges that she was irresponsible to have so many babies — especially with six other children already at home.
