The Story
- Alex Rodriguez continues his roll through tall, jacked blonde chicks.
After breaking up with his girlfriend of over a year, Cameron Diaz, A-Rod moved on to his tall, blonde, jacked personal trainer and nutritionist Ella Magers.
However, since late December, it's become very obvious that Alex has moved on yet again, this time linking up with former WWE Diva, and 2004 Playboy cover model, Torrie Wilson. The two were first seen together in Cabo with Wilson's close friend, Stacy Kiebler and her boyfriend, George Clooney. Wilson and Rodriguez were later seen biking in Miami, at a gym in Wilson's hometown of Boise, ID, and most notably sitting courtside at a Laker's game where they shared their first public kiss.
So for those of you who don't know who Torrie Wilson is, well, you've probably stopped reading. If you did hang around, Torrie Wilson is most notably a former WWE Diva and Women's Title holder. She came to the WWE after a brief stint in WCW after winning the Miss Galaxy fitness competition in 1998. She has graced the cover of various magazine's including FHM and Playboy. Since more or less retiring from wrestling in 2008, spare a few one time guest appearances, Wilson has done little. She did finish second to Lou Diamond Phillips on NBC's highly lauded reality show, "I'm a Celebrity; Get Me Out of Here."
So you know, she's got that going for her.

- Alex Rodriguez is not a man who stays single long.
After splitting from his wife Cynthia in 2008, he's made a run through some of Hollywood's bigger names; there were well publicized flings with Kate Hudson and Cameron Diaz, as well as some rumored encounters with Madonna and Christie Brinkley.
However, it appears now that ARod has Hollywood out of his system. Alex has been seen repeatedly in recent weeks with a blonde fitness enthusiast, Ella Magers. Ella and Alex have a prior working relationship with her serving as his nutritionist and trainer.
Ella is a fitness professional located in Miami Beach where ARod makes his offseason home. She has an impressive resume including various media consultations as a fitness expert and a wide array of services offered (including private and group training and wellness coaching).
A couple sports gossip blogs have indicated that Ella was the reason for ARod's split from Diaz, though that has not been substantiated in any way. It does appear these two are becoming serious as they were photographed on vacation with Rodriguez's children in November, 2011.

The Story
- For those not familiar with the name above you soon will be. Yu Darvish is the next great Japanese pitcher (stop me if you've heard that before) who could be coming to America next season. Currently it is considered 50-50 that he posts or basically sold to the highest bidder. But enough about Yu, as this post is really aout Yu Darvish's wife, or soon to be ex-wife Saeko. For those not familiar with Saeko she is a movie and media darling in Japan. There are a lot of rumors as to how the two meet but it does appear everyone agrees we have ourself a case of a shotgun wedding here. After dating Saeko got pregnant and the couple married quickly on 11/11,/2007 which was picked because that is Yu's number. Their first child arrive just four months later, born March 25, 2008. Saeko is considered by many to be the hottest wife in Japan, and it has recently come out the couple are in the process of getting a divorce.
What we know about the divorce and how it may hurt Yu's transition to MLB:
Now the PG version of why they are getting divorced is that the couple spent too much time apart. However it has been widely reported that Yu is a big fan of the red light district and may have been sought the company of other women while Saeko was pregnant with the couple's second child. Why is this divorce a big deal? Besides the couple being one of the most famous couples in Japan it could have a huge impact on when and if Yu posts for MLB. The divorce would involve splitting assets and money. If Yu signs with a MLB team before the divorce is finalized the money split would be based off that number, which will be a lot higher than his current contract in Japan. Some say that with the divorce looming, and unlikely to be completed during this Hot Stove season, Yu might wait until next year when the divorce is done so he doesn't give up as much money.

The Story
- Time Together: Barry Zito has been dating the former Miss Missouri for a little over a year, and were engaged in April of 2011. Instead of wasting time (admittedly, like I did), the couple took care of the nuptials right away, and will be married on Saturday, December 3, 2011.
It will be interesting to see how Giants split this weekend, as OF Nate Schierholtz is getting married at the same time, to his girlfriend, former college basketball player at SDSU, Kate Eveland.
Like we revealed in the opening sentence, Amber is the 2007 Miss Missouri who now calls herself an actress. Her IMDB credits include one episode of daytime drama The Bold and the Beautiful, and a role in the movie The Change Up, where she is billed as "Beautiful Woman." Her next project should be easy to play, as "Amber the Actor," in the 2012 movie Starting from Scratch.
- Quote: This might be the coolest story about a professional athlete ever.
The San Francisco Chronicle reported that Zito filed for his marriage license on November 18. They interviewed the county clerk, Joyce Whitney, who processed the request. Whitney recounts a fantastic story:
"I asked if he wanted a confidential one, and he said 'no.,' He said, 'Just give me a public one - I'm over myself.' "
Barry Zito... badass move, man.

I am a Pittsburgh girl , living the dream in Arizona. I love to dance, shop, sing in the shower, hang with friends, party on the weekends, and LIVE LIFE TO THE FULLEST!!!! I have an amazing supportive group of friends and an even better family.
