Simply. Stunning.

Maria Sharapova has always been a beautiful woman, but when we see her in these locales for the cover and spread in the March 2013 issue of Conde Nast Traveller Russia, we can't help but drop our jaws!

Here's what she said about it on Facebook!

This is HUGE news, you guys!!

Did you know that Russia is the second largest tobacco market in the WORLD? China's got them beat, for sure, but being #2 on a list like that is nothing to be proud of!

Well, we'll tell you what IS something to be proud of: Russian lawmakers just backed a law which would ban smoking in bars, cafes and other public spaces to promote healthier living!

That's RIGHT.

Even Russia recognizes the awesome power of Michael Phelps and the way he strokes! Or, um, the way he takes strokes. In the water.

Sorry for yelling, but this is just about the worst news we could get today — apparently a shortage of bacon is looming on the horizon… and we can't do anything to stop it!

Britain's National Pig Association (NPA) (yes it's real) says that pig herds in Europe are shrinking, which is now a trend around the world.

To blame?

Wow.

It's over, it's all finally over.

We're so sad to see the 2012 London Summer Olympics come to an end but we're so glad for all that happened during them.

Mainly all the golds we won!!

The final medal counts are in and the USA stands the victor!

We have a total of 104 medals! 46 gold, 29 silver and 29 bronze!

China took second place with 88 total; 38 gold, 27 silver and 23 bronze.

Host country, Great Britain came in third with less overall medals (65) than 4th place Russia (82) but more golds with 29 to their 24.

Will Ferrell was recently on Conan and when Conan asked if he was watching the Olympics, Will started to lose it.

He's a big fan of the Olympics and was pumped that the American girls won team gymnastics, though he seemed a little more pumped that the Russian girls lost!

He spoke about how great it was to "see those little Russian girls crying."

Obviously he's just saying that to get a laugh.

And it worked!

Check out the video (above) for Will Ferrell's hyper-patriotic rant!
