This has been a crazy year here at COED, with more T&A-filled nonsense than a Japanese game show. And we’re proud of what we’ve done. (Maybe not proud in a, “Hey mom, check this out” kinda way, but happy with the outcome, nonetheless.) So to remember the highlights of 2008, we’ve put together the 10 most popular stories from the past 12 months. From handstands to Handbras, we’ve covered the events in the finest way we know how – with smokin’ hot chicks leading the way. So get ready for the best of the best. And farewell, 2008 – you’ve been a crazy son-of-a-bitch.

#10 The 100 Hottest Hand-Bras of All-Time

Ah, yes–the wonderful, magnificent “hand-bra”. There’s just something about a woman holding her own breasts that sends a magical lightning bolt of lust through any man worth his weight in Jergens. Maybe it’s that we want to put our hands there, or maybe it’s how freakin’ hot you look doin’ it. So get ready because if you’re already a breast-man, this could possibly be the greatest thing you’ve ever seen in you’re entire life. And if you’re not a breast-man, you’re about to become one. You’re welcome.

#9 The Ass-ential Nastia Liukin

The perfect weapon–vicious talent, inhuman flexibility, super hotness–Anastasia “Nastia” Valeryevna Liukin reigns as star of the 2008 US women’s gymnastics team at the Beijing Summer Games.

With nine World Championship medals already in the bag–and a fresh Olympic gold, which she earned Thursday night in the women’s gymnastics overall competition–this 18-year-old comes from an immaculate pedigree, her father winning Olympic gold at the ‘88 Games on the horizontal bars for the Soviets, her mother a World Champion rhythmic Russian gymnast.

And on top of all those skills is a blond bombshell that makes us wish we were chalk boys…or something. But were not, so we did what we do best–a wall of split-rific pics of the all around awesomeness that is Nastia Liukin. And now, The Ass-ential Nastia Liukin.

#8 The Ass-ential Alicia Sacramone

Despite her tragic falls last night in the fight for the gold against the uber-jail-bait Chinese gymnastics team (who won), 20-year-old Alicia Sacramone is still our favorite high-flying hottie. She’s cute as can be, and fills out the spandex better than any other gymnast in Beijing this year–maybe ever. Oh, and did we mention that she’s a total badass?

To properly honor this flexible hottie, we’ve put together the one-stop-shop for all the Sacramone sexiness this side of the Great Wall with The Ass-ential Alicia Sacramone. Maybe the US team came in second yesterday, but Alicia and her bodacious butt have already earned their gold.

#7 COED’s Comprehensive Guide to Naked Olympians

Nothing combines the beauty and athletic prowess of the Olympic Games like female athletes showing off their finely tuned bodies without the unnecessary hindrance of clothing. To celebrate the awesomeness of these perfect human specimens, we’ve compiled the quintessential collection of every Olympian to ever strip off her uniform.

In the years to come, we hope to see the likes of Lolo Jones, Almudena Cid, Cat Osterman, Jenn Stuczynski, Alona Bondarenko, Rita Dravucz, Yelena Isinbayeva, and of course, Alison Stokke. But for now, we’ll just have to settle for the 36 who’ve already helped the Games by showing us all exactly what they’re made of.

#6 The Definitive 25 Sexiest Sportscasters

In the world of sports, you have the athletes and then you have the female sportscasters. Not only do these vixens of stats and plays deliver awesome (and sometimes hilarious) sideline reporting and interviews, they add a woman’s touch to an ugly man’s world, making it all worthwhile–even when your team loses. From a sea of beauty, brains and braun, we’ve narrowed down the field of these mic-holding honeys. So sit back, grab a beer, and get read for the Top 25 Sexiest Sportscasters.

#5 The 52 Best Natural Breasts of All-Time

If you haven’t noticed, we here at COED love women. We couldn’t live without them – neither could you. Another thing you might not have noticed is that October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Since we much prefer the lovely ladies of the world happy, healthy and whole, we thought we’d help out.

In addition to donating, what’s a better way to help celebrate this important month than by sorting through all the greatest sweater kittens from history to bring you the 52 Best Natural Breasts of All-Time? Answer: There isn’t one.

#4 Sexy Halloween Costumeless

Every dude (except this one) loves Halloween for one reason and one reason only – super slutty costumes that show a lot of skin. But this year, it’s time to take things to the next level: costume-less.

Instead of dressing up to show less, why not cut to the chase and just paint the damn thing on? Luckily for us all, that’s exactly what these lovely ladies have done. Sure, it might get a bit cold on trick-or-treat night, but something tells us both the tricks and the treats are going to be hell of a lot better if this trend catches on.

A note to all you “employees” out there, this one is mildly NSFW. Yes, these women are “naked.” But if the nipple isn’t nipple-colored, then is it really nude? We say no, but your boss might say yes. So don’t be a dumbass – think before clicking on this one – and don’t say we didn’t warn you.  Happy Halloween!

#3 Top 25 Sexiest Female Athletes of 2007

These girls can out-run you, out-swim you; shut you down in a game of full-court b-ball, ski faster and jump higher than you ever will. They have physical prowess in their respective sport, and unlike 99% of the other girls in their league are incredibly nice to look at!

Without further ado, here are the Top 25 Sexiest Female Athletes of 2007. Check out each girl’s gallery and vote in the poll for your top choice.

#2 The 20 Sexiest Photo Collections of 2007

Along with sex-tapes, scandalous pictures of hot celebrities were all the rage in 2007, culminating with the following 20 photo collections.

Some of the sexy photo collections on display are from print magazines (one of which introduced Megan Fox to the world) and Hollywood red-carpet events; but the majority were made infamous because the candid shots were not intended for the internet (we’re looking at you, Lindsay Lohan, Vanessa Hudgens and Antonella Barba).

#1 Hot for Teacher: 18 Sexiest Sex Offenders

It has to be said: female school teachers are the new male Catholic priests.

Sexual offenses committed by female teachers is at its peak, much like the libidos of the accused. While male teachers are (rightfully) lambasted for their sexual misconduct, women seem to get off much easier – literally and figuratively. And why, you ask? The answer is simple: older women seducing younger men is part of our culture, like it or not. Just ask Mrs. Robinson, or Stifler’s Mom.

South Park touched on the subject in “Miss Teacher Bangs a Boy,” where Kyle’s little brother Ike has an affair with his Kindergarten teacher. The cops in the episode have a field day with the case, exclaiming “niiiiiiiiice” after hearing about the teacher’s naughty secret. Their point, however blurry, was well taken: everybody loves a sexed-up authoritative figure, within reason.

My point and solution? Horny teachers should wait, ever so patiently, until their prey graduates. If you’re into kids, you deserve to be locked up; if you’re into being the older lady for kicks, play your cards right, don’t break the law, and have at it like a jackrabbit.

We here at COED do not condone sexual misconduct by any means, unless said means consist of hot, willing and able teachers getting down with young studs. Just kidding…?

4….3….2….1! Happy New Year! A brand new year lies ahead, but first we must make it through New Year’s Eve. The best New Years I ever had was when I was nine, and I took out all my parents pots and pans and banged them together at midnight. Since then, there’s been a trajectory course downward in the appeal for this holiday. It’s basically amateur night, with too much pressure on having an ultimate evening out. So here’s a guide on how to have a good New Year’s Eve.

1) Rent a Private Jet
Celebrate New Year in every time zone, by flying across country from east to west.

2) Kiss Complete Strangers
Yes, kiss people who you’ve NEVER met before in your whole entire life, and who, perhaps, you’ll never see again—EVER!

3) Sleep With Complete Strangers!
This is just like kissing complete strangers, but it involves sleeping with people you’ve NEVER met before in your whole entire life and who, perhaps, you’ll never see again—EVER!

4) Drink Too Much
Yes, booze it up! Maybe even become sick! Say embarrassing things to people. Tell your friends you love them! Scream at people on the street. Get sick again.

5) Time Square
See them drop the New Year’s Ball. Feel what it’s like to be crushed in a really big crowd, to the point of unpleasant.

6) Say Funny Things
Say “See you next year” to people you see before New Years, and wont be seeing until after. This causes comical-confusion, implying that you might not see this person for 365 days. See how funny that is?!

7) Have A Bad Hangover
On New Year’s Day, say things like “Boy! Do I have a bad hangover!” and “Where did I lose my house keys?”

Another year has come and gone and by all accounts 2008 was a good year.

If you haven’t secured New Years plans then check out our massive list of all the best New Year’s Eve shows from around the country. It’s not to late to buy tickets and who knows you might even meet a nice Drunk New Year’s Eve Party Girl.

Happy New Year!

As we bring in the New Year it’s good to remember the primary goal every man should have: to never get kicked in the nuts. But I have to say, if you’re going to get kicked in the nuts, it’s a good idea to catch it on tape – because that sh*t’s hilarious. And this video has so many shots to the nuts, it’ll have you buying a cup in no time

Twenty-four-year-old German model and former basketball player Julia Stegner is better at just sitting there than I am at anything. I mean, c’mon – she’s not even giving the rest of us a chance to look good. I guess that’s why she’s been modeling for companies like Dolce & Gabbana, Ralph Lauren, and Dior since age 15. The only thing I’ve done well since 15 is drink. So… cheers!

Who the hell wouldn’t want to start their very own religious cult? But where do you start? Obviously, the first thing needed in starting a religious cult is an ultra-cool cult wardrobe.

That’s where Snuggies comes in. Late one night I saw this commercial come on for the Snuggies’ blanket that you, and your family are supposed to wear like a Jedi robe. I said to myself, “Well f*ck me sideways, this would be the perfect uniform I’d have my followers wear when they drink the tainted grape Kool Aid.” Get yours today!

Unfortunately, there is so little reliable information out there about Italian model Frederica Fontana that we don’t really have anything else to say about her other than that. However, when a woman this ridiculously beautiful exists in the world, it is our duty as men to share super hot pictures of her with our fellow men. Don’t you agree?

If you were confused weather or not the future has arrived, LG has just announced the “3G Watch Phone,” and this thing is more sci-fi than Will Smith. With simple styling and a 1.4-inch screen, the watch-phone comes armed with 7.2 Mbps high-speed Internet access for quick downloads, Bluetooth, an Mp3 player, voice recognition and text-to-speech features and video phone capabilities.

The device is scheduled to debut at this year’s Consumer Electronics Show, and will go on sale in 2009, first being released in Europe before coming to the US. So convincing girls you’re a spy is going to have to wait a little while.

No other sport in the history of mankind combines the exhilaration of competition with the pure primal lust of seeing super hot chicks in lingerie tackle the hell out of each other like Lingerie Football. (No, not even mud wrestling.) And with the NFL division playoffs and the BSC championship bowls just around the corner, there’s no better time to get familiar with this magical sporting event than now. Kickoff for the league isn’t until next September, but a lot of people are talking about it already, but this complete photo guide to Lingerie Football should hold you over until then.
