Giorgia Palmas Becomes Overnight Internet Sensation Based On One Photo

Posted by Brian Fairbanks


An Italian television personality exploded into the spotlight yesterday based on one uncensored photo. The closest thing we've seen to this before was when Megan Fox went from "some girl who was in Transformers" into the hottest thing alive after winning Maxim's ridiculous Hottest Woman In The World contest.

This will give you some idea of how quickly Miss Palmas became famous: we're still not sure how to spell her first name, at least officially. Some sites give it as Georgia, while others stick with the typical Italian spelling of Giorgia. Either way, pretty soon we'll all be sick to death of whatever the hell-- or whoever the hell she is/spells it.

When this photo appeared in reddit yesterday, it had her name completely misspelled, including her last name, which was missing the "s."


Giorgia Palmas (born on 5 March 1982 in Cagliari, Sardinia) is an Italian television personality. She became famous by appearances in the Italian television show Striscia la notizia.

Palmas began her career in the year 2000, winning second place at Miss World, losing out to Miss India Priyanka Chopra. In 2001, she was in Buona Domenica, as a microfonina. In 2002, she won the television show Veline, becoming the brunette velina, in pair with Elena Barolo, the new blonde velina. For two television seasons, 2002/2003 and 2003/2004, she was a velina in Striscia la notizia, gaining her a lot of popularity. After leaving Striscia la notizia she appeared in Italia 1 summer edition of Lucignolo, with Elena Barolo. In September of the same year she was in Rai 1 show, I Raccomandati. She was chosen to be testimonial of "Cotton Club" brand underwear. In February 2005, she appeared in a photoshoot on Max Magazine. In June 2005 she was in CD Live Estate on RAI 2. She has been confirmed also for the next season.

Her boyfriend is soccer player Davide Bombardini, who plays with Bologna F.C..

Translation, please? We're not sure whether this girl is a news anchor, reality star, actress, or background extra, for God's sake. Anyway, she's apparently very well known in Italy, where her appearance in Max Magazine catapulted her into the spotlight:

I can help you there.

Giorgia Palmas was already well-known in Italy when she got the "Max" shoot. She was on a show called "Striscia la Notizia", a satirical news show (which is actually very unfunny and conservative). She was one of the Veline, the girls who danced  (while very scantily-clad) on the hosts' table, and pretended to pass them the news. Yeah, I know.

The tits are fake. She got them shortly before she was photographed in "Max". She's had a few hosting jobs since, but what she does (mostly) is flaunt her assets. Well, she paid good money for them.

The surgery was very well-publicized: Italian starlets are not at all shy about implants and various cosmetic procedures. And why should they be: out Prime Minister is constantly at the tanning salon and has had a lot of job done. He's 75 and looks 55.

Thanks, Giulia.

Now, how much do you want to bet she wins the Maxim Award next year, in spite of the fake boobs?

I'd be happy if she did. It's been ages since Italy managed to come out tops for something...

(The tits are quite nicely done, methinks. Bit too round, perhaps.)

(A lot of job done=a lot of work done, God help me and my waning English skills.)
