Hook 'Em Rings: Andy Roddick and Brooklyn Decker Will Get Hitched in Austin

Austin, the Live Music Capital of the World (TM) is having a sort of banner year already. Last month's South by Southwest festival was a huge success judging by the fact that so many folks were Twittering, texting and emailing on their iPhones that AT&T experienced a network outage.

Now there are reports that pretty young things Andy Roddick (26) and his fiancee/Sports Illustrated model Brooklyn Decker (21) are getting married in Austin this weekend. Turns out tennis ace Andy lived in the city from the ages of four to 10.

We don't have the detes on where they are tying the knot (it will be small, just "friends and family") but if they aren't getting married at a private estate we're betting the Four Seasons Austin would be a great place for a reception. The popular Driskill Hotel would also be a fun place to send out of town guests but rooms are a steep $376 a night. We hope Andy and Brooklyn were able to get a nice group discount.

Swimsuit Issue '08: Bikini Models on World Tour

It's here! The 2008 SI Swimsuit Issue is out today, and as usual it's a globe-spanning affair. As rumored, Ana Beatriz Barros was photographed north of San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua. Brooklyn Decker posed in Caesarea, Israel as did Bar Refaeli, who didn't end up on the cover. That honor went to Marisa Miller, snapped in St. John in the US Virgin Islands, as we reported.

We tracked down all the locations (and all the models) and mapped 'em. The full report is after the jump.

Swimsuit Issue '08: Not Looking Like a Hometown Edition

The 2008 edition of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue is due to hit newsstands on February 12, and we're hearing lots of rumors about the locations in the issue. Of course the feature destination isn't a secret anymore. Bar Refaeli, above, did a shoot in her native Israel and may even end up on the cover.

According to The Ledger of Lakeland, Florida, Carmella Garcia is one of four wives of pro athletes that will appear in the mag. (She's married to Tampa Bay QB Jeff Garcia.) We don't know for sure where she was photographed, but we doubt it was in her native Avon Lake, Ohio.

Brooklyn Decker will be in the issue, too, also not shot in her hometown (Charlotte, North Carolina). She's sprawled out on a sandy strand that we can't quite place yet. And unconfirmed rumors are swirling that photographers snapped Ana Beatriz Barros in Nicaragua.

Heard anything we haven't?
