Report: Anna Kournikova to Join 'Biggest Loser'

By Kelly Fisher Posted May 23rd 2011 06:49AM

It looks like 'The Biggest Loser' might have found another new trainer. According to reports, tennis star Anna Kournikova will join the NBC fitness show next season.

Kournikova will join new trainers Cara Castronuova and Brett Hoebel as the show undergoes major changes in the wake of Jillian Michaels' departure from the hit show, X17 Online reports. Michaels announced her decision to leave last year in order to focus on starting a family.

An official announcement regarding Kournikova's role on 'Biggest Loser' is expected after the show's season finale on Tuesday.

Kournikova, who recently put her $9.4 million Miami mansion on the market, is certainly no stranger in the fitness world. A tennis player all her life, she debuted at the U.S. Open when she was just 15 years old and was named ESPN's Hottest Female Athlete in 2002.

The tennis star has been dating singer Enrique Igelsias since late 2001.

Let's get back to the roots of the show. . losing weight. Anna is not a good fit, we need a new female trainer that is personable, motivating, and caring. Some of the contests were ridiculous this session. Turning into an "ad" campaign rather than a life-long change in eating and exercising.

As a trainer? For who? I thought she WAS the biggest loser!

By big dogg

maybe her career as a trainer will work out better than her tennis career! 2 titles in her whole career, without question, she is the biggest loser!!

By ella

she has no education, no degress and is a BLONDE BLEACHED BIMBO!! enrique is known to be a womanizer all this crapola about them being together 10 years and hes faithful? please give me a break hes known to be on the move alot!

By Ewww

I expected it to be Serena Williams joining the show but for more obvious reasons. She's a bulbous frkg. man freak on the court who could stand to shed more than a few LB's. Weaning herself off the steroids would also be a good idea.

By MotorCityMama

They can't have Serena or any other black trainer. Ever notice that the black contestants are always angry and screaming at evryone? They are also the first ones voted off the show and can't handle the physical exercize. They always give up and over-react to every obsticale. That culture has got to change before they annihillate themselves.

By Catherine

Wow, so much anger...did she do something to you personally? However,
I think this is a bad move, just a gimmick, and unfortunately, it could kill the show. While they need to replace Jillian, replacing her with a "celebrity" trainer isn't a good idea.
I don't like Anna either, but I have no reason to hate her the way some folks here seem to. Wow. Chill, people.

By lisa

While having nothing bad to say about ANNA-I wonder if she is a certified personal trainer-being a tennis star does not qualify someone to train people in agym setting.

By cindie

age appropriate hair length??? are you kidding or just extemely jealous?

By facing reality

Jealous? i think not all i know is when i turn 30 years old im not going to have hair down to my butt like an 16 year old and im absolutely not going to have bleached out dried out hair like hers. how can anybody be jealous of her and her hair just look at it please i would rather wear a good looking wig!

By barton Harrison

Correct me if I am wrong, did Anna ever win a tennis tournament ?

By davethe rave

NO!! never only in doubles and thats because she played with a much better player.

By ragingrob

You stand corrected. Ana won two Grand Slam doubles tournaments with Martina Hingis. She won numerous junior championships and was a finalist in 4 singles tournaments on the professional tour. Semifinalist in Wimbleton at the age of 16. Whats your problem hater?

By APACHE

I DONT CARE SHES A HOT RUSKIE AND HAS AN INCREDIBLE FIGURE SHE EARNED IT. I LOVE HER

By heidi

I think Jillian is going to be hard to replace she was great and smart and intelligent and well aware of these people with their problems. I think having anna kournikova is a bad move i have nothing against her but shes known just as a bikini so called model and a tennis player with a bad reputation as well as her personal life having a bad reputation. I dont think shes good for the show. I feel bad for the people. I guess anna kournikova is really desperate! just saying.

By Diana

Maybe it is the show that is desperate -Julian is difficult to replace. The show must go on, but I don't see Anna staying on as a trainer.
