Lleyton Hewitt Moves On Up

So I'm not a huge fan of tennis, but the Grand Slams usually get my attention, and this week happens to be the first one of the year as the Australian Open began in Melbourne. While watching ESPN2's coverage Wednesday night (and, by the way, can we ever tell, what's live and what's taped when it comes to covering an event that's 15 hours ahead of us?) it was a match between Australia's Lleyton Hewitt and someone named Dancevic. Anyway, during the match they showed a picture of Hewitt's wife Bec Cartwright (right). First off, I'm sure Bec is short for Becca, which is short for Rebecca, and is anyone with me that "Becca" is hot and "Bec" is even a little hotter? Apparently Hewitt proposed to Cartwright, a former Aussie soap-opera star, about two years ago, so this is anything but breaking news although I hadn't been aware of her until now. Anyway, the proposal came four months after Hewitt broke up with his previous girlfriend, female tennis player Kim Clijisters, and after only six weeks of dating Cartwright, although the two had been friends for years since both are considered celebrity-types Down Under and often ran in the same social circles. Hewitt's relationship with Clijisters had lasted a whopping four years, so obviously it didn't take the vertically-challenged tennis icon long to bounce back. Now we know why. Anyone going from this to this would agree that the mourning period probably would be a short one. Clijisters, who is said to be retiring after a last year around the circuit, must have a great personality though.

Daaaaamn JB, that's a mean this-to-this comparison! I am sure Clijsters looks really good once she showers, has her hair and make-up done professional, and gets a little Photoshop treatment to her pictures!!

"Becca" sounds hotter to me. "Bec" reminds me of the singer "Beck", and I can hardly find that to be hot!!!

the "this to this" comparison is classic. this reader is wondering how long it took to find the first "this" photo (the none too flattering one). probably not too long...but it is perfect.
