WAG of the Week: Manuela Arcuri

[Real life and work are kicking my ass right, so this is probably the last post for the day. Luckily, there's very little happening in the world o' calcio today, and I'm sure you'd rather look at a WAG than read about Ronaldinho again anyway.]

The lovely Ms. Arcuri is doubly qualified for this feature having dated both Francesco Totti and and Francesco Coco. (In addition to getting the title of Calcio WAG, she also deserves our deepest respecting for scoring that pair of men. I mean, damn.)

I really need to create a paragraph I can cut-and-paste here, because pretty much the same elements appear in the bios of all of these women, from nude modeling to the same damn TV shows. And, yes, Manuela is a model. It’s been her goal practically since birth, apparently, but since she “grew up in a loving, supportive household” (in case you were wondering), everyone was totally cool with her desire to splash her womanly bits* across the pages of magazines and newspapers throughout Italy.

One guess what she moved on to after she made her name as a model. Yep, acting! Actually, Arcuri started out in the movies, which sets her apart a bit from the rest of the WAGs. And she’s put together quite a resume, moving from small “Oh, look at the hot chick!” parts into starring roles in movies that aren’t all crap. Reassuringly, though, she did eventually move on to TV, where she’s currently starring in a series, having spent some time as a proverbial showgirl and (of course) appeared in a season of Police Officers, the go-to show for all Italian models. And, as an added bonus, she showed up on the set of Scherzi a parte, the Punk’d-style show that does mean things to footballers (among others), and did an impromptu pole dance. I have no idea what it’s about, but the guy at the end seems very concerned about the sensitive children who may be watching.

*In case you’re disappointed about not seeing said bits above, I also uploaded a very NSFW photo for your viewing pleasure. Me, I find it much less hot than the feature photo, but you can go check it out and make your own call.
