"Don't you wish life was like a parking meter..." With those lechers at Pirelli having announced this week that septegenarian actress (yes, it's true) will appear in the Sears catalog of nipples, the Pirelli Calendar, gasps were heard 'round the world, as plastic surgeons' phones rang off the hook. Of course, it wasn't Sofia calling (she could care less), but fellow class of '07 models, Penelope Cruz, Naomi Watts, Hilary Swank and Lou Doillon just making sure they were sufficently freshened, in case Sofia — at 71 — decides to whip out the big guns.

This year's nipple-studded Pirelli calendar, being printed in a limited run of 35,000, is a prime candidate for auctioning by the lucky few who've gotten their hands on one (we hear it's mostly staff, who get one each). There are already a bunch listed on eBay, bid to or buy-it-now priced from 100 to 300 tin farthings (or whatever our British friends use for currency these days), that's between $175 and $525. Some rumorists say it's the last one, thus the enthusiasm. That and the pics of J-Lo in a Leather Daddy cap.

Our friends at LeftLane News point out Pirelli's yearly objet d'lacrosse (ask a French Canadian what that means), its pho-tastic "swimsuit" calendar, is out. And like every year, we've got a strong inclination to open a Ferrari repair shop, and hang one of these up over F1-style toolbox. Bella.
