But it's Mrs. Andy Roddick who'll be the latest to be banned in high school computer searches, middle-school libraries and kindergarden teacher's lounges.

It just goes with the territory.

That Brooklyn Decker landed the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover this year is no real surprise. The element is that SI seems to want to revive is that girl-next-condo, with a nice yellow bikini. Although we believe her top was probably too big, because it keeps falling off.

Decker, talking to the Associated Press, compared it to covers from the 1980s or '90s, when Elle Macpherson had that friendly, sun-loving look.

Roddick may have made some SI covers of his own -- oh, wait, he's never made a cover -- but the 22-year-old Decker has some athletic background. She ran hurdles for her high school track team in North Carolina, played soccer and did some competitive cheerleading.

"This celebrates the girls and their personalities," Decker said of her cover. "I think it's why they get such beautiful pictures."

David Letterman gets to show it off first on Monday's show (she'll be on tonight's show):
