Pop Quiz! What do you see in this picture?

a) Two wax statues
b) A dude who hates the paparazzi
c) A football star and his Heisman trophy

Give up? Amazingly the answer is b) A dude who hates the paparazzi. You can’t tell that from the way Reggie Bush is posing for the camera with his lady-friend Kim Kardashian, but he recently whined to Sports Illustrated about how much he just loathes those pesky photographers. “I hate the paparazzi,” he said. “I honestly do. She knows I don’t like it, but it comes with the territory. I deal with it. It doesn’t make me view her any different, it’s part of her life and so you just deal with it, but I hate it.”

It’s a good thing he’s with such a caring lady! Kim has tried to help her man adapt to the flashing bulbs, saying, “I’m giving him a few tips here and there. We try not to take it too seriously. The paparazzi are really an invasion of privacy that you’re never really used to…”

Right. Enjoy more pics below of Kim and Reggie not taking the paparazzi - or themselves - “too seriously” at a party hosted by Ms. Dash in Vegas on Sunday night.

Is it possible that John Mayer is actually not just a cool guy, but an even cooler ex-boyfriend? The cocky rocker posted a Jessica Simpson-defending manifesto on his blog, after the entire state of Texas and every member of Cowboy-nation blamed her for their team’s recent football failures (funny how no one actually blames the stupid dude who lost the game). The only problem with John’s sweet words is that they’re probably gonna make Jess (and her dad) fall back in love with John all over again. Now that would really punish Tony Romo for ruining the lives of millions of Texans. John blogged:

Dear Dallas and Surrounding Areas,

This isn’t a sports blog, and it isn’t a publicity stunt. (but have at me if it feels right.) This is about doing what I think is right as a person, in this case speaking my mind. I have never known anyone to have more pride in their home state and their upbringing in it than Jessica Simpson has in Texas. I don’t really follow sports, but I have played some of my biggest and best concerts in your state, and having witnessed how dynamic the spirit there is, I’m betting emotions are running high right about now. All witty barbs, blogs, and fashion policing aside, that girl loves Texas more than you know. It’s one of her most defining traits as a person. So please don’t try and take that away from her. (You probably wouldn’t be able to, but it’s less work for all involved.)

I just thought it would mean something coming from the guy who has the absolute least to gain from this. And if I’m out of line in having written it, too bad. I can spare a Wednesday’s worth of bad press if it means sticking up for a good soul.

Don’t take dating tips from Jessica Simpson. If her past track record isn’t enough (we miss you Bam Nick and John!), let her latest sexy move be a lesson to you - she is currently on vacation with recent flame Tony Romo and her parents. HER PARENTS! How can they get busy when her mom and dad are sleeping right next door?! The couple, the Simpsons, and some pals are all staying together in a rented villa in Cabo San Lucas. At the airport, a source spotted Jess and Tony “rubbing each others butts and laughing on the tarmac.” Kinky! Things got even crazier over at their vacation house. “Tony couldn’t stop touching Jessica,” another spy (with really awesome long-distance vision) said, “They were having a great time, with Jess’ parents laughing and joking with Jess and Tony. Tony was affectionate to Jess and everyone seemed very relaxed.”

Yes, supervised sleepovers are always such stress relievers! It sounds like Jess needs to check her co-dependency baggage - and her rents - the next time she travels with her dude…if he even sticks around that long. [Us]

What’s that we hear? Why, it’s the sound of stillettos stomping down the aisle for a second - yes, second - time. Kim Kardashian is allegedly engaged to her man, 22-year old NFL star Reggie Bush, who she’s been dating for like one whole month! How sweet - we’re sure weddings are way more romantic the second time around (27-year old Kim was married before to producer Damon Thomas for four years). Sources are saying the two are definitely headed for the aisle, but Kim won’t reveal any deets about her love life because, as she admits, she kinda learned her lesson with that video of her bumpin’ uglies with Ray J. “One thing I did learn from ‘07 was to try to keep it as private as possible,” Kim told OK! Magazine, “So I’m trying to hold that close to my heart.” If you’re clamoring to buy the happy couple an engagement, Kim’s professed a love of cooking soul food, so surely cooking supplies would come in handy. But if you want to surprise the pair with something creative, go with a gift from our list below:

• Season One DVD of Keeping Up with the Kardashians (we know she loves watching herself on video)
  
• A vintage Suzanne Somers ButtMaster LBX™
• Perfume by ex-BFF Paris Hilton

Michael Vick, the former star quarterback for the Atlanta Falcons, has been sentenced to 23 months in jail for his participation in a dogfighting ring run out of a home he owned. Dressed in a black and white prison suit, Vick apologized to his family and friends and said, “I am willing to deal with the consequences and accept responsibility for my actions.” The judge in the case, U.S. District Judge Henry E. Hudson, seemed unaffected by Vick’s professed remorse, and responded curtly to his comments. “You need to apologize also to the millions of young people who look up to you,” he snapped. He later said of Vick’s involvement, “”I’m convinced it was not a momentary lack of judgment on your part. You were a full partner.”

Vick, who was once one of the best played players in the game, began serving his sentence early in November. He still faces another trial for more dogfighting charges brought forth on behalf of the state of Virginia. [CNN]

This kind of news is never fun to read. Washington Redskins safety Sean Taylor was gunned down in his home early Monday, and passed away from his wounds this morning. Taylor was shot in the upper leg, “damaging the key femoral artery and causing significant blood loss.” Police believe he was shot in an apparent robbery and his murder comes only a week after his house was broken into and a knife left on a bed.

Taylor’s past is a little shady, but he appeared to have been turning things around since the birth of his daughter Jackie. Besides his infamous take down of a punter in last year’s Pro Bowl (which is supposed to be a friendly game), he’s caused trouble both on and off the field: racking up a DUI charge and numerous fines and penalties from the NFL for everything from spitting in a player’s face to uniform violations. He also was embroiled in a notorious assault case after he was accused of pulling a gun on a man he believed stole cars from his home. The case ended with Taylor getting 18 months probation. In recent months, however, his outlook and attitude changed. His teammate Clinton Portis said, “…Ever since he had his child, it was like a new Sean, and everybody around here knew it. He was always smiling, always happy, always talking about his child.”

A child who will surely miss her dad.
