Urban gossip site Bossip.com is reporting today that Kim Kardashian and Reggie Bush have decided to get married in 2010.

(You may feel the need to towel off after reading this too)
Sources close to Kim say she has started planning process her fantasy wedding to boyfriend Reggie Bush. Kim apparently was inspired by Khloe and Lamar’s hasty love union.
Lovely, can’t think of a better reason in selecting a life partner.
After Bush dumped Kim earlier this year, apparently the two reunited in August and have been inseparable ever since - at least if you believe Kim and her publicist.
Speaking of romantic:
The two are said to have started planning their own wedding after Kim asked Reggie about walking down the aisle in New Orleans after attending Khloe’s wedding. Surprisingly, Reggie said “lets do it.”
So Kim proposed? Reg sure sounds down with the plan.
Lest you think though that this won’t be a business endeavor akin to the KhlOdom mock marriage, Kim is allegedly planning the same sort of money-making arrangement her sister scored with producer Ryan Seacrest. Read more…

The joys of Twitter are many: immediate communication with friends and family. Following the highlights of your favorite celebrity’s day. Real-time updates on important current events. And my favorite, being privileged the unimpeded NFL player’s vernacular.

(What happens when they go 16-0? *shudder*)
For instance, here’s Miami Dolphin Channing Crowder as he waxes philosophic to the MIAMI HERALD about the team’s opponent this Sunday, the undefeated New Orleans Saints. Read more…

Okay, it’s time to talk about something fun, exciting, and not-at-all contentious: gay marriage! Okay, everybody stake out your positions, here’s your feces to fling at the other side, let’s go.

(It’s not like the NFL’s stayed clear of this issue, people; they’re practically pioneers.)
Okay, let’s not act like this is the proper forum for discussing gay rights; clearly it isn’t, and we’d prefer not to discuss any of those issues unless it’s the only two good-looking members of the WNBA totally going at it right at center court during a game. But while we prefer not to mix this touchy subject in with our sports, clearly, THE NATION has no such qualms. Oh boy.

Okay, so today wasn’t the best day for the Eagles. Sure, Kevin Kolb was surprisingly decent in relief of Donovan McNabb - up until giving up a 97 yard TAINT to Darren Sharper to finish the game -going 31-51 for 391 yards and 2 TDs. But Drew Brees is the best quarterback in the NFL right now, and he absolutely scorched the Eagles defense, rendering all offensive effort wasted for Philly. And though Brian Westbrook had a pedestrian 64 yards from scrimmage, he is eligible to take home one hell of a prize.

HELLO! The woman holding the sign seems a little ehh, but on the right? Thumbs up indeed, ma’am, and if you’ve also got a thing for bloggers with receding hairlines… call me.
As for the rest of the early games, the NFL is weird. Read more…
Things must be getting better in New Orleans, because police are putting pro football players in the clink for parking in handicapped spots. I know, I know … if we let one New Orleans Saints safety get away with it, pretty soon there’s handicapped parking chaos. But it still seems rather petty.

Usama Young’s reign of terror came to an end on Thursday when police finally arrested him for parking in a spot reserved for the physically challenged. On hearing the news, handicapped persons throughout Orleans County emerged from their homes for the first time in weeks, squinting at the unfamiliar sunshine and saying a silent prayer that the parking scofflaw had been apprehended. They are free at last to park conveniently in front of the 7-Eleven and use the gentle, sloping mini-driveway hollowed into the curb, now that Young is behind bars. Finally, parking justice.

As we remember from our study of the Greatest Movies Ever Made, Bandit and the Snowman got $80,000 for hauling 400 cases of Coors from Texarkana, Texas, to the Southern Classic truck rodeo in Georgia in 28 hours. Saints kicker Garrett Hartley recently attempted a similar feat — a late night drive from Dallas to New Orleans in time to make a morning practice. But that stunt cost him $90,000.

Where’s Big Enos Burdette when you need him? Having apparently lost his appeal, Hartley was suspended without pay for the first four games of the regular season for violating the NFL’s policy on performance enhancers, league officials announced today. The substance that turned up in his system? Adderall, which he says he took to stay awake for the drive.

• Reggie Bush & Kim Kardashian are gonna give love another chance.

It’s gotta be the new hair!
• Those 38 wins by the Memphis Tigers two years ago? The NCAA declares that it never happened.
• That seems a bit harsh. Next thing you’ll tell me, giving cream cheese to athletes would be considered an NCAA violation.
• Plaxico Burress pleads guilty to gun possession charge, will spend the next two seasons playing for the penal pigskin league.
• First Patrick Kane, and now Aqib Talib. Why do pro athletes hate cabbies so much?

When last we left Reggie Bush and Kim Kardashian, they had decided to call it quits due to conflicting schedules. Damn you, Travelocity! And so it goes with many of history’s great relationships … although Napoleon managed to stick with Josephine while off invading Russia, and being exiled to a small island. Anyway, here’s good news, Reggie and Kim fans!

Apparently America’s fun couple is back together! (Sean Payton bangs head repeatedly against locker). Because I watch the E! Entertainment channel to the exclusion of all other interests and responsibilities, I know that the two were spotted on Monday walking into Ruth’s Chris Steak House in New Orleans. And then someone, presumably her publicist, confirmed it’s back on!

Drew Brees has left New Orleans Saints training camp upon learning of the death of his 59-year-old mother, Mina.

The AUSTIN AMERICAN-STATESMAN reports that Mina had died in Colorado while visiting her son Reid, although the cause of her death is unknown at this time.
Although it is sad news for the Brees family, Drew & his mom weren’t always on the best of terms.

It’s always hard to hear about when athletes - or hell, anybody, for that matter - have strained relationships with their parents. It’s not the natural state of things and there’s no substitute for a loving parent when it comes to keeping yourself normal.

(Worse yet, she never taught him how to use a chair correctly. The horror. The horror.)
But that sort of goes out the window when it comes to people like Mina Brees, Drew Brees‘ mom. No, unlike most deteriorated family situations, this isn’t caused by substance abuse or other basic life screwups - she’s an attorney. Specifically, she’s one with no qualms about thinly-veiled extortion attempts against local businesses in Houston.
