Are you serious, Minka Kelly? You’re going to get into a tussle with the crazy chick who starred in “Bride Wars”? Apparently there’s some sort of rift brewing between Alex Rodriguez’s celebrity starlet girlfriend, Kate Hudson, and Derek Jeter’s celebrity starlet girlfriend, the aforementioned Miss Kelly. Yankee wives are choosing sides, Page Six is snooping around … New York will be out of first place within the month!

It’s hard to know who to root against here. Hudson starred in “You, Me and Dupree” (minus 12 points), “Almost Famous” (plus 15 points) and “Fool’s Gold” (minus 1,000 points). Kelly has been in “Devil’s Highway,” (minus 10 points), “Friday Night Lights” (plus 15 points) and an episode of the Nickelodeon TV series “Drake & Josh” (minus 45,000 points). Knowing these facts makes me too ashamed to even do the math.

Last time I was in New York, I scored seats to the last All-Star game played at the old Yankee Stadium. Can’t really top that, can ya?

(Lineup last night in Derek Jeter’s suite at Yankee Stadium)

Actually, I think I did on Thursday, watching the Yankees-Red Sox game in the new Yankee Stadium from Derek Jeter’s personal suite. (Yes, the one he dropped $850,000 on for a single season.)

(I want to thank the Good Lord for no hot-air hand dryer)

Early this week a friend invited me to the game, which gave a good excuse to get out of L.A. for a long weekend. That weekend has barely started, but I’ve already got the only thing I’ll remember from the trip.

Ah, the rituals of spring. The flowers are sprouting, the weather’s warming up, and Derek Jeter has a new girl. And oddly enough, she’s not even famous! I guess you can only date so may Maxim Hot 100 girls before you get bored.

According to the NEW YORK DAILY NEWS’ GATECRASHER, Jeter has turned in Minka Kelly for a newer model, a 22-year-old college student. It’s adorable! He’s introducing her to Tiger Woods, she’s playing his voicemails for her friends, and he’s giving her a sore butt. Wait, what?

I remember last Saturday morning when I woke up and found out about Alex Rodriguez’s steroid use through the article in SPORTS ILLUSTRATED shortly after going online.  One of my first thoughts was wondering where A-Rod had been when he first found out about the article that morning as well.  Was he sitting at the kitchen table eating a bowl of cereal?  Running on a treadmill while listening to Madonna’s Immaculate Collection on his iPod?  As it turns out, Rodriguez may have been laying in bed with two women.

Pictures have surfacedon RADAR ONLINE that show Rodriguez partying with two lovelies at the Atlantis Resort in the Bahamas the night before the steroids story broke.  Judging from the photos, at least we now know for sure that Alex was able to enjoy his last night of freedom before his life changed forever.

The TAMPA BAY BUSINESS JOURNAL has a story today that will warm your 401 K-ravaged heart:

(New home a sign of Jeter’s retirement and that Minka Kelly is the one?)

Three years after buying waterfront property on Davis Islands in Tampa, New York Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter can see his mansion going up there. More than a dozen workers were busy Wednesday building the 31,000-square-foot house that looked more like a shopping center.

Now why would Jeter build a home that looks like a shopping center? Oh wait, I forgot, the house is in Tampa. Perfect!

The monstrosity will likely cost Jeter tens of millions considering he bought the property alone for $6.3M in 2005. (Of course, that means it’s worth about $275,000 today.) Jeter had two existing houses on the land razed and is raising a two-story roof from scratch.

So what the heck is “Davis Islands”? And in these troubled economic times, is Jeter employing any creative financing in the deal? Read more…

Last night I went to the invite-only Derek Jeter-Michael Jordan MLB All-Star party at a place called Marquee in New York. The joint was a smallish, two-level club with three rooms. When my stealth companions and I arrived, there were about 20 people in line waiting to talk to a racing gloves-wearing bouncer in a polka-dot jacket (just off the set of Reno 911?).

Turns out everyone in front of us was not on the list, so we systematically moved down the line until we finally were granted entrance. As we went inside, the bouncer announced, “this party is invite-only, so if you aren’t on the list, you aren’t getting in.” Read more…

As we know, Derek Jeter has MAXIM-level taste in the opposite sex. (That or he has the most immaculate beard in recorded history. We’re going with the former.) Six of the MAXIM Hot 100 of 2008 have met Derek Jeter. And by “met”, we mean “been introduced to”. And by “been introduced to”, we mean “made acquaintances with”. You know what we mean. “Shook their hands.”

(Now serving number 54. Number… 54.)

PAGE SIX would like us to add one to the tally, as O Captain Yankees Captain has been spotted in a chic NYC hotel with Minka Kelly, one of the brighter filaments in “Friday Night Lights”. For those of you scoring at home (and we’re looking at you, Mr. Jeter), she’s #54 in your scorecard and #1 in your hearts.

Jeter’s working all 100 steps like he’s got an AA medallion under his jersey. Does he believe Pokémon will become his friend if he catches them all?
