I like to catch up with my friends across the country by reading their blogs, which is ironic as the phrases 'my friend's blog,' 'blogging' or 'blogosphere' always make me cringe. I just happen to have some very clever friends who are wonderful writers and offer up a slice of real everyday life." — Scarlett Johansson. [The Daily Beast]

<![CDATA[ Sports-nut Alyssa Milano is swearing off...]]> Sports-nut Alyssa Milano is swearing off dating athletes. The big-time baseball-and-hockey fan — most recently linked with the L.A. Dodgers' Russell Martin — tells Details magazine that she's now looking for a plumber or a doctor. "I've gotten such s—- about my dating choices. Like, every single article .. is about how I'm 'the chick that dates athletes,' and there's an insane double standard going on." Double-standard? What double-standard? We're all just jealous we didn't get to bang Carl Pavano and Barry Zito. [People]

<![CDATA[Alyssa Milano's Love Of Major-Leaguers Will Get Her Nowhere]]> We love a girl who's consistent and there's no one more predictable than Alyssa Milano, who has seemingly dated half of the guys playing professional baseball. In fact, she's slowly but surely turning into the real-life, Major League version of Susan Sarandon's Bull Durham character, Annie Savoy. US Weekly is reporting that Milano, 34, may be fielding fly balls with Dodgers catcher Russell Martin, 24. Thing is, Milano has made no bones about her desire to start a family, and of all her paramours, it was the one non-baseball playing guy with whom she actually made it to the altar. (In fact, unlike her Bull Durham doppelganger, we're not sure that Alyssa's affairs have done any favors to her baseball-playing boyfriends' careers. But that's for the sports nuts on this site to figure out.) Since then, and through such hotties as Barry Zito and Carl Pavano (Brad Penny doesn't do it for us) Alyssa has suffered one disappointing dalliance after another.

Wait, isn't a definition of 'insanity' when a person keeps doing the same thing hoping for a different result? Maybe if Alyssa really wants to get hitched and start having kids, she needs to move on to the boys in the PGA. They love them some trophy wives and baby-making.

<![CDATA[Alyssa Milano, Pretty Smart Sportswear Mogul]]> Seemingly content with having dated much of the NHL, part of the NFL and the Italian-American starting pitching rotation of the American League [Uh, what about Brad Penny? -Ed.), is sports-nut Alyssa Milano setting her sights on the rest of the men in Major League Baseball? It looks that way, judging from "Touch", her kinda sex-kittenish new line of baseball-branded, girl-friendly apparel with a come-hither name. But no matter: We've actually got to give Alyssa credit for the fact that there's nary a rose-colored tee in her collection. There's nothing more insulting to female sports fans than the idea that they really, really want a baby-pink, terrycloth hoodie with that idiot Derek Jeter's name on it.
