Sideline Gossip
With the NFL and NBA lockouts, what is a sporty girl to do when she wants some good ol’ fashioned lunch time reading? Go to her second love…GOSSIP! I give you PINKCleats first edition of Sideline Gossip! Who is dating who, which athletes are now single, and any other juicy tidbits of gossip to get you through the slow summer hours at work. Let’s give it a whirl!
Young Love
Hayden Panettiere and Scotty McKnight:
The Hollywood starlet is rumored to be dating the Jet’s 7th round pick out of the University of Colorado, Wide Receiver Scotty McKnight. Not too long ago Panettiere was linked to fellow Jet Mark Sanchez, but it seems Sanchez and McKnight are actually childhood friends, so she was probably just hanging with the crew. The budding relationship is moving pretty fast. Panettiere met the family a couple of weeks ago when she attended a Newport Beach retirement party for Scotty’s dad. Thoughts on this one? I think they are cute!
Reggie Bush and Melissa Molinaro:
Molinaro is a D-list actress, but word on the street is that she has a pop album coming out some time in 2011. She has appeared in Making the Band 3, Pussycat Dolls Present: The Search For the Next Doll, and an Old Navy commercial where she plays what seems to be a Kim Kardashian-like reality star character. You can watch the commercial here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=drCTL8oTHo8. It comes as no surprise that many are gawking at the clear similarities between Molinaro and Bush’s ex Kardashian. My opinion? They look alike….a lot alike, but who cares? People have types in this world and Molinaro is hot!
Headed to the Chapel
Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries:
You have all heard by now that Kim Kardashian is marrying New Jersey Nets basketballer Kris Humphries, but who doesn’t like to talk WEDDING DETAILS?! The dress designer of choice is rumored to be Vera Wang. Can’t go wrong there. She will wear one dress for the wedding and another for the reception. Kim is going to take the last name of her new husband, much to the reality-tv-branding-disapproval of her mother. According to TMZ, Kim has a deal with Platinum Motorsports in L.A. to provide wedding day transportation to both sides of the family by Rolls Royce Phantoms and Maybachs. Supposedly this will be a Summer wedding, so this shindig should be going off any week now. My thoughts? These Kardashian girls sure like to date, get engaged and get married in under one year. Seemed to work for Khloe though. This duo will definitely walk down the aisle before the NBA lockout is over. Kim is ready to be a court side wife!
Love Triangle
A-Rod and his blonde beauties:
New York Yankees star Alex Rodriguez has reportedly been hitting on the beautiful Christie Brinkley. One slight problem….he is still officially tied to girlfriend Cameron Diaz. Brinkley was A-Rod’s guest at a recent ballgame and he supposedly told her he was “unattached.” Rodriguez is shooting down the rumors, saying the two are “just friends.” Wait a minute. Weren’t you and Madonna “just friends” when you were still married? We’ll just have to see how this one plays out. What do I think? At 57 Brinkley is still stunning, but I don’t think A-Rod will like the fact that until last week it seems she was a Red Sox fan. I think by mid-fall he will be on to his next conquest and neither of these ladies will be in the picture.
Headed Nowhere
Roy Williams and Brooke Daniels:
Dallas Cowboy Roy Williams has finally gotten back his $76,000 engagement ring from former Miss Texas USA, Brooke Daniels, after she turned down his February proposal. Williams had to actually file a law suit to get the ring back. I am somewhat shocked at that. She said no! She needs to give back the ring. She even pulled the ol’ “I lost it” line, but the ring turned up rather quickly when a lawsuit was filed. My thoughts? This smells of a gold-digger situation. Date an athlete for his money- however, when it boils down to it you don’t really want to be with him, but you don’t want to give the ring back either.
