Super Bowl MVP Von Miller and the R&B singer K. Michelle are an item, according to a report from Bossip. The news comes as K. Michelle, 32, is atop the R&B/Hip-Hop albums charts for the second straight week with her new record More Issues than Vogue. We will keep you apprised of any important developments, like if the alleged couple is photographed together.
Paulina Gretzky did a little bit of caddying for Dustin Johnson during the par-3 contest on Wednesday at the Masters. She also got to talk to Condoleezza Rice.
Golf was on everyone’s brain last weekend. Kelly Stafford attempted the “Happy Gilmore” drive in a long skirt and a pair of flip flops. It didn’t go so well.
Earl Thomas married his high school sweetheart, Nina (née Heisser), at a ceremony that included teammates Kam Chancellor and Russell Wilson as guests on Saturday. The ceremony was at Chateau Cocomar in Houston, and by all appearances it was a tremendous time.
Jordan Clarkson and Kendall Jenner were said earlier this month to be “either secretly dating” or “secretly hooking up.” If you’re a Lakers fan, you’re probably thinking that this isn’t the greatest news — the Kardashian curse afflicts many — for Clarkson’s long-term basketball performance, but what can you do?
This video of Clarkson leapfrogging his alleged girlfriend made its way across social media platforms late last week, and you’ve gotta give him credit for delivering under pressure. It’s one thing to have a vertical that enables you to vault over things that are nearly six-feet tall. It’s another task altogether when if you mess this one up your gaffe could be pasted on every tabloid in the planet.
As an addendum to this post, the video supposedly emerged from the Snapchat account of model Cami Morrone; her latest blog post declared fake prescription glasses “socially acceptable.”
Here’s Kate Upton eating a donut, while working out. How one views that is a matter of perspective. It could be the least healthy thing to do while working out. But, on the other hand, it could be the healthiest way to eat a donut.
Kacie McDonnell, a reporter for NBC’s Kansas City affiliate, and Eric Hosmer are still going strong, nearly a year after we first learned they were dating. Two weeks ago, they took in the sounds of Justin Bieber.
For Saturday night’s Royals game, McDonnell wore a shirt and brought a purse in homage to her boyfriend. (Here’s where you can buy the shirt, in case you were wondering.)
Paulina Gretzky’s initial foray into Snapchat was underwhelming, but she’s starting to get the hang of the medium. This weekend, she made it a point to tell the masses she was NOT at Coachella, and also shared a photo with her fiancé Dustin Johnson.

Paulina Gretzky posted this photo to Instagram. She apologizes for not apologizing. She also enjoys lemons, if we’re deciphering emojis correctly.
Paulina Gretzky doesn’t care. In her latest Instagram post, Gretzky and Dustin Johnson, are on, what I can only assume is his boat, singing a song “How Many F••ks?” by Erika Jayne.
I’m not sure if this goes along with the post before that in which she says, “Sorry, I ain’t sorry 🍋.”

Sergio Garcia finished second at the PLAYERS Championship last year. This year Garcia’s game has been up and down with his best finish, a second, coming in February at the Honda Classic. Garcia seems pretty relaxed heading into the tournament this week. He also may know a thing or two about sneakers. Garcia shared a picture of himself watching the Spurs-Thunder game last night while wearing some Adidas Yeezy Boost 350s.
Garcia also shared a picture of himself and girlfriend Angela Akins of Golf Channel.
Oh, Sergio is sponsored by Adidas so…yeah.
Note: I know nothing about sneakers, but I am not a fan of those things.
Rookie driver Alexander Rossi coasted to an unexpected victory in the Indianapolis 500 on just drops of gas. He’s the first American-born rookie to win the race since 1928 and is currently basking in the glory by appearing on every sports and sports-adjacent television program possible.
The Daily Mail got to the bottom of his relationship status and it appears he’s dating Kameron Combs, a 5-foot-10 former volleyball standout.
Just thought you’d like to know.
Odell Beckham Jr. was again subject to untrue rumors about his personal life over the weekend. This time, the woman involved was Khloe Kardashian. Via Us Weekly:
As Us Weekly previously reported, the reality star got cozy with the New York Giants wide receiver at Scott Disick’s 33rd birthday celebration at 1 OAK in Las Vegas on Friday, May 27, and again at Drake’s Memorial Day party in Hidden Hills, California. But as Us also reported, despite the friendly flirtations, the couple were never an item. “They were just flirting at a party,” our source revealed.
So stop thinking up celebrity couple names like Karham or Khlodell or Odie.
The lesson as always? Athletes should never go with a Kardashian to a second location.
This is not the first time the Internet has been subject to non-truths about OBJ’s love life. Shortly after he was drafted by the New York Giants, somebody he had never met claimed to be his fiance. Last summer he was alleged to be the man in an inappropriate picture with a woman that may or may not have been Amber Rose. Now we have this thing with Khloe Kardashian. Will Odell Beckham Jr. ever actually find love?
If it seems like it hasn’t even been two months since Amber Rose and Terrence Ross were hot and heavy on Snapchat, that’s because it’s the case. Nevertheless, rumors are swirling in the gossipsphere that they are no longer a couple.
As Perez Hilton noted yesterday, The Shade Room shared an Instagram message that was allegedly posted and deleted by Ross, which read, “If people refuse to look at you in a new light and they can only see you for what you were, only see you for the mistakes you’ve made, if they don’t realize that you are not your mistakes, then they have to go.”
Also Monday, Amber Rose shared this cryptic-ish photo/caption:
With the speculation swirling, TMZ discovered Rose out and about with her ex, Wiz Khalifa (video up top):
Amber Rose and Wiz Khalifa normally bury their differences to co-parent their son — but Monday night they smoked the peace pipe over strippers’ asses! The exes looked very NON-exish at Ace of Diamonds strip club in L.A. last night — getting cozy in VIP, while they both dished cash to dancers.
The two were holding hands on their way out of the club. Putting all the pieces together, we will file a mental checkmark that Rose and Ross are no longer together unless or until we learn otherwise.
Mike Bercovici is trying to make the Chargers roster as an undrafted quarterback out of Arizona State. In the calm before the storm of mandatory camp, he went to Vegas this past weekend to celebrate the 21st birthday of his girlfriend, Jaylee Merill, who was a cheerleader at ASU and graduated from the school in three years. They appeared to enjoy their stay at MGM Grand.
Kate Upton is celebrating her birthday week with fiancé Justin Verlander in New York City. She wore a see-through dress and bodysuit combination one suspects was intended to draw attention. This website obliged.
The Detroit Tigers have won six of their last ten and are an attainable 2.5 games out of first in the AL Central. Verlander’s stats, while not great, are within the bounds of reasonability. Barring a sudden dip in form, Detroit sports radio callers stick to concocting hilariously awful trades rather than reading anything into this fashion choice.
Kevin Love is dating Sports Illustrated swimsuit model Kate Bock. Bock rode with Love during the Cavaliers championship parade through Cleveland. After the Cavs won the title, Bock posted a selfie of her and Love on Twitter.
Since there’s nothing online about the couple, it would be awesome to assume that Love brought Bock to the championship parade as a first date, but a comment below a Cleveland.com article from March suggests they’ve been together for a little while. He previously dated actress Cody Horn.

Dustin Johnson’s controversial penalty during the U.S. Open wasn’t all people were talking about once the tournament ended. DJ’s fiancée Paulina Gretzky also got quite a bit of attention for wearing what many deemed inappropriate attire considering the national television exposure.
We’ve seen this type of criticism before, most recently after Rickie Fowler won the Players Championship and his then girlfriend Alexis Randock wore a pair of short shorts and low cut top.
(Jake Roth-USA TODAY Sports)
What shouldn’t have been a big deal then shouldn’t be now. Paulina is allowed to wear whatever she wants and she can certainly pull off any look she wants, but what made people upset was Fox’s decision to follow DJ and Paulina up the stairs on their way to the clubhouse instead of positioning the camera in front of them so we could see their faces after the biggest win in Johnson’s career.
That decision resulted in shots like the one below, that made stuffy golf fans and others uncomfortable.
For example:
Nina Mandell wrote a nice piece over at FTW regarding this and Ayesha Curry’s latest dust-up:
So what do we expect from these women who happen to be dating or married to a professional athlete? We expect them to deal with their partners being on the road for weeks at a time. According to what is apparently still common sentiment, we expect them to be the ultimate cheerleader — and look flawless for the games — but not have dresses that are too short, like Gretzky. And we expect them to keep their opinions to themselves and their own personalities on the back burner — because as much as we love emotions in sports, not if it comes from them.
Because despite all of their accomplishments, their own personalities and their opinions, the sports world made clear this week that the partners of athletes are just accessories who should never forget their place.
Except when we need them for heartwarming moments or photo ops.
Sure we may not all agree with the way Ayesha handled her Twitter account and we may not all agree on Paulina’s choice of attire when she knew there was a chance she would be shown on national television, but wives, girlfriends, and fiancée’s are still fans and ultimate supporters of their partners. To expect them to show less emotion or wear things that please the masses is hypocrisy. They, like us, are entitled to their own opinions, and who’s to say Paulina wearing that dress is any less appropriate than J.R. Smith strutting his stuff around shirtless for a week?
Paulina is well-known on her own; we’ve posted on her many, many times before she and Johnson were engaged. Gretzky even posed with USGA staff members after the tournament without Johnson.
So while you may not agree with what she was wearing, that is your right, but it is also her right to wear whatever she wants.
Matt Stafford’s wife, Kelly, was a cheerleader at Georgia, and while collegiate cheerleading is a markedly different endeavor than whatever it is NFL cheerleaders do, there is enough overlap the Lions felt Kelly Stafford was qualified to help select this year’s squad.
There is a greater significance to this, if you can believe that. Until this year, the Lions were one of six NFL teams not to have a cheerleading squad, though Lions president Ron Wood told the Detroit Free-Press it was “strong fan sentiment” that caused the team to break down and add one.
You’re in good hands, Lions.
Summer still seems to be treating Tennessee Volunteers wide receiver Josh Smith and his girlfriend Breana Dodd well. It’s always tough to get the whole story via Instagram but life may, indeed, be better at the lake.
