Early in June we told you that Amanda Beard was making the dreams of many men come true by posing in Playboy. Now, we have another female athlete to cross off the list -- sort of. Serena Williams will be posing partially nude in Jane magazine. Standing with her self-proclaimed "bootylicious" backside turned towards the camera, Serena is posing with nothing but a flower covering her behind, and some silver pumps on her feet. In fact, We've already chronicled Serena's muscular build, and now you'll have the chance to see it all uncovered. And if Serena wasn't enough to make you jump to pick up the magazine, maybe the semi-nudes of Eva Mendes and Joss Stone, who are also scheduled to appear in the same magazine, will do the trick for you. Hey, Serena might not be No. 1 on my list, but I can definitely get down with this type of behavior. We can only hope a few other female tennis players will follow her lead.

7. Are you people kidding? She's far from a hog. I think she's beautiful and she deserves every bit of recognition she gets, whether it's from dominating on the court or posing in a magazine.

12. To the guy that said no one wants to see that fat hanging, well that is not fat that is muscle baby!! Are you jealous that her body looks better than yours? I admit she is not the best looking female but she has a body to kill for.

15. Must be Women, gays and/or White people that think Serena Williams does have a fantastic body(previous comments). She has a dream body and a decent face...for the Brothers, at least.

20. Are we sure this is not National Geographic's Primate Edition????? Article titled " Serena Goes Ape"
White people are so quick to try to identify black people with apes.....I see a similarity of apes to whites more.....straight hair and thin lips!!!
