Fergie hams it up with Russian soldiers, known to melt at the sound of the Black Eyed Peas.

Hey, the Nicaraguan military is available for reality TV shows, so why wouldn’t the Russian Army stop what it’s doing for an Avon perfume press conference?

Fergie, whose passion for Tacky Tourist poses was just demonstrated by her waxual self-harassment at the Las Vegas Madame Tussauds, used the ex-Soviet soldiers to promote her new fragrance, Outspoken Intense.

Might we suggest her next photo-op: We understand that the Ecuadorian Special Forces have a special thing for the ladies!

Check out today’s CBC headline:

“Prince William says Canada ‘far exceeded’ expectations“

Translation: “I thought this place was going to be kinda lame.”

Canada can do far better for a celebrity tourist endorsement.

Meanwhile, Prince William and Princess Kate Middleton each received a ceremonial white cowboy hat upon entering the city of Calgary — a tradition for visiting dignitaries.  Other celebrities asked to play dress-up have included President George Herbert Walker Bush, William Shatner and the Dalai Lama.

This souvenir snowglobe includes a plastic trash bag ruining the pure Manhattan snow.

The above headline is the flattering endorsement we just received from Away.com, a witty travel blog owned by Orbitz.

Before you get all judgmental, what do YOU wear for a night out at the ballpark?

Lady Gaga just strategically pulled off the Tacky Tourist Photo of the Decade by not only provocatively posing for 49,220 fans (we looked it up) during Friday’s 7th inning stretch, but also by prancing right past security for some photo-ops in the Yankees clubhouse.

The New York tabloids report that Yankees boss Hal Steinbrenner is pissed that the players were treated to Gaga cleavage after a loss.

Here’s how the New York Post puts it:

“A liquored-up, half-naked Gaga could barely string together coherent sentences as she fawned over several players near the locker room…

“Gaga was wearing an unbuttoned pinstripe jersey over her bra and bikini bottom — and nothing else — as she struck up conversations with some of the Bronx Bombers. She gushed about what a Yankee fan she is, all while groping her breasts during the cringe-inducing visit.”

Babe Ruth and Mickey Mantle are probably kicking themselves in heaven right now for being born too early.

Yankee Stadium is one of New York’s top tourist attractions and like it or not, Lady Gaga has set the new standard of dress code.

“There is a time and a place for that, and it’s certainly not after a loss,” Yankees GM Brian Cashman told the Post, “And not at the expense of the media doing their job.”

Definitely bring on the fishnets after the Yanks win, though!

Unfortunately, Gaga doesn’t seem to have same reverence for her fellow baseball fans as she does for the players. Noting she recently gave fans the middle finger at the Mets Citi Field, the NY Post has dubbed her the “Classless Songbird.”

Here’s a sneak peak of what Lady Gaga might look like in 50 years:

The Associated Press captures Paris primping at the pyramids

Looks like Paris Hilton might be the ultimate Tacky Tourist Queen!

Not only is she doing the “Walk Like an Egyptian” pose at Cairo’s top tourist attractions, she also ups the ante by flashing cleavage in her backless maxi dress.  Only a Cleopatra wig and Bangles soundtrack would complete the scene.

According to the London Daily Mail, the fashion icon also flashed a little too much flesh when she hiked up her skirt to get on a camel.  And she “kept fellow tourists entertained as she struck her typical red carpet poses beside ancient artifacts, including hieroglyphics and statues of Pharaohs.”

With all this time devoting to strutting, did Hilton actually bother to check out the endless rooms filled with mummies and bejeweled daggers?

And who’s wearing cooler headgear, Paris or King Ramses?

U.S. Senator Barack Obama does his best Superman pose after a town hall meeting in Metropolis, Illinois

Barack Obama has millions of friends. Barack Obama has millions of enemies.

We don’t get caught up in domestic political squabbles here at Tacky Tourist Photos, although we do occasionally stick our nose into international affairs.

Bottom line is this.  TTP loves Barack Obama for fulfilling our spirit and mission during this 2006 campaign stop.

We invite him and all former U.S. Presidents still alive to continue this practice and pose with the Red Auerbach statue in Boston, the Anne of Green Gables statue on Prince Edward Island, the chorus line creature on Martha’s Vineyard and the stale Michael Jackson marzipan sculpture in Hungary.

(Thanks to conservative radio talk show host Michael Graham for unearthing this gem on his Natural Truth blog).

The TTP curators happened to cross paths with all 53 Miss America contestants last week at a fashion show in Las Vegas — and world peace never came up once in conversation!

We know this is worse than telling an NFL quarterback that he throws like a girl, but Mallory, your penmanship looks like a guy’s. Scrap the ALL-CAPS thing and try a few more hearts to dot your i’s.

Nicole, we’re digging the doodled crown topping your signature.
