This can’t just be friendly…

Apparently, Reggie Bush is Kim Kardashian‘s new shoulder to lean on!

According to RadarOnline, the Miami Dolphins star has been helping his ex-girlfriend get through her divorce from Kris Humphries, and the former celebrity couple have been spending hours on the phone talking and texting each other. (We bet the Hump is hating this!)

A source close to the former couple told Radar:

“The two have been talking for long periods of time on their cell phones and exchanging text messages. Reggie feels bad for Kim and everything she is going through right now. Reggie had been dating someone that he thought he could get serious with, but he ended that a few months ago. Reggie has absolutely no plans on getting back together with Kim. He just doesn’t think they are meant to be together.”

We wouldn’t be surprised at all to see these two back together again….but then again maybe Reggie really isn’t interested in a full reconciliation.

Check out Reggie Bush‘s new girlfriend Melissa Molinaro on the left …. and his ex Kim Kardashian on the right.

Anything look strikingly familiar????

Maybe this will do the trick! (Peep the footage below:)

For the June 2011 issue of VIBE Magazine, Vibe hands out dual covers to both MMG CEO Rick Ross and professional groupie turned Hip-Hop arm candy Amber Rose. In the new issue, Amber has a whole lot to say including her past relationship with Hip Hop superstar Kanye West, former SuperBowl champion Reggie Bush, her “story”, and how she’s an “Icon.” (Yeah…right!)

Peep a few excerpts below:

ON HER RELATIONSHIP WITH KANYE WEST:
“People think me and Kanye are enemies, and we are not enemies. He wants the best for me, still. Let me say this: I still love Kanye. I will always love him as a person. I will always love him for what he’s done for me. I still always have that soft spot in my heart for him. I am not in love with him. I do not look at him in a sexual way anymore. I’m in love with someone else. I still love him as a person and want him to find happiness like I did. Everyone deserves that.”

ON LIFE POST-KANYE:
“What am I supposed to do? Crawl up in a corner and die ‘cause I’m not with Kanye anymore? Am I supposed to go back to the strip club and not take these opportunities that I have?”

ON HER RELATIONSHIP WITH REGGIE BUSH:
“Me and Reggie [Bush] dated very briefly after Kanye…We were both each other’s rebound and we both knew that and were cool with that.”

AMBER ON WHY HER STORY IS RELATABLE:
“I don’t have rich parents and it’s a struggle. I can’t just call my dad and be like, ‘Dad, my money is a little messed up. Can you buy me a car or a house? It’s not like that for me. I feel like more people will relate to my story than the Kardashians or the Hiltons.”

AMBER ON BEING ICONIC:
“Kanye would always tell be how beautiful I was and that I was going to be iconic. He always said that, ‘Baby, you are iconic. You don’t understand what you have. I didn’t. I didn’t understand it.”

“Iconic?” No. “Iconic whore?” Yes.

29-year-old pop sensation Britney Spears and her boyfriend Jason Trawick walked the red carpet as they shared hosting duties at An Evening of “Southern Style” presented by the St. Bernard Project & the Spears family at a private residence in Beverly Hills  this past Wednesday (May 11). This is a rare occurrence for Spears, who has strayed away from red carpet appearances in recent years, choosing to keep a low profile since her very public meltdown a few years back.

Other celebs spotted on the red carpet of the event were Kim Kardashian, Kelly Osbourne, Christina Milian, Selena Gomez, Hilary Duff and more.

More pics are below:

According to USA Today, Spears’ reassurance on the red carpet was extra special as she brought along her 39 year-old beau Jason Trawick. Although there have been numerous paparazzi photos of the couple together, the event marked the first time that the pair attended a red carpet as a couple since they started dating. Brit rocked a bright green dress and loose, flowing locks, while Jason looked quite at home by his lady’s side in front of the cameras.

Things have really come around full circle for Brit wouldn’t you say? Keep it up girl!

Uh-oh…..the drama has already begun!

Reggie Bush isn’t so happy about Alabama running back Mark Ingram being picked by the Saints in the first round of the 2011 NFL Draft. The NFL star tweeted the following after the announcement was made:

Sounds like somebody feels a little threatened…

Chris Brown, Chad Ochocinco & Evelyn Lozada, Pauly D from “Jersey Shore,” Reggie Bush and more were spotted Saturday night (Feb 5) in Dallas, Texas at the Maxim Party Powered by Motorola Xoom. The party also featured performances from Wyclef Jean and Jason Derulo.

Lil Wayne put his bowling skills to good use in his hometown Tuesday (Dec 14) as he joined NBA player Chris Paul (of the New Orleans Hornets) for the Celebrity Bowling Invitational, which was put together by the PBA (Professional Bowlers Association), at Riverboat Lanes in New Orleans.

Wayne, who has been bowling since he was a teenager, has said in the past that he owns four custom-made bowling balls.

“If you talk to a professional bowler, he would explain or she’ll explain how your own ball and your own shoes, and perfect lanes are important,” Wayne told CBS news anchor, Katie Couric in an interview last year. “I bowl with the curve and so it makes it curve.”

Other celebs on hand for the charity event were rapper Nelly, New Orleans Saints football player Reggie Bush, and Young Money president Mack Maine (not pictured) who cheered from the sidelines. The event is scheduled to air on ESPN on Super Bowl Sunday.

Poor Reggie…

Earlier this year, after NCAA officials determined that NFL player Reggie Bush and his family had accepted “improper benefits” from the University of Southern California’s athletic program while he was in college, the former USC running back was ruled ineligible for the 2005 season in which he received the Heisman Trophy. And yesterday (Tues. Sep 14), the New Orleans Saints‘ star player relinquished his title and handed over his trophy.

Bush made history by being the first player in the Heisman’s 75-year history to return the coveted trophy and his decision comes just shortly after reports suggested that the Heisman committee was due to officially strip him of the title in the near future. Officials have yet to determine if the Heisman Trust committee will just vacate the 2005 trophy or give it to the first runner up (Vince Young of the Tennessee Titans).

In a statement released through the New Orleans Saints (who won the Super Bowl last year) Bush said:

“One of the greatest honors of my life was winning the Heisman Trophy in 2005. For me, it was a dream come true. But I know that the Heisman is not mine alone. Far from it. I know that my victory was made possible by the discipline and hard work of my teammates, the steady guidance of my coaches, the inspiration of the fans, and the unconditional love of my family and friends. And I know that any young man fortunate enough to win the Heisman enters into a family of sorts. Each individual carries the legacy of the award and each one is entrusted with its good name.

It is for these reasons that I have made the difficult decision to forfeit my title as Heisman winner of 2005. The persistent media speculation regarding allegations dating back to my years at USC has been both painful and distracting. In no way should the storm around these allegations reflect in any way on the dignity of this award, nor on any other institutions or individuals. Nor should it distract from outstanding performances and hard-earned achievements either in the past, present or future.

For the rest of my days, I will continue to strive to demonstrate through my actions and words that I was deserving of the confidence placed in me by the Heisman Trophy Trust. I would like to begin in this effort by turning a negative situation into a positive one by working with the Trustees to establish an educational program which will assist student-athletes and their families avoid some of the mistakes that I made. I am determined to view this event as an opportunity to help others and to advance the values and mission of the Heisman Trophy Trust.

I will forever appreciate the honor bestowed upon me as a winner of the Heisman. While this decision is heart-breaking, I find solace in knowing that the award was made possible by the support and love of so many. Those are gifts that can never be taken away.”

Damn! He might not have his Heisman anymore but at least he has that big, shiny Super Bowl ring on his finger. And there’s no possible way (that we know of, at least) that he can lose that…

Poor Reggie Bush. First he lost his beauty and gained a bald-headed beast, and now he’s lost a piece of his football history.

The NFL player recently became the target of a scandal involving him allegedly receiving a car, a house for his family and a host of other benefits while playing for the University of Southern Carlifornia’s football team. The NCAA discovered all of this after an investigation on the team awarding the New Orleans Saints Running Back with a ton of improper benefits for his stellar performance in the Trojan football program.

So in an effort to clean up their tarnished image, USC’s Athletic Department announced this week in a memo that their Athletic Director Mike Garrett would be let go and Reggie Bush’s Heisman trophy will be sent back to the Heisman Trust, in addition to other measures to dissociate the program from the Super Bowl 2010 winner:

The Trojan family honors and respects the USC sporting careers of those persons whose actions did not compromise their athletic program or the opportunities of future USC student-athletes. Accordingly, I have instructed the senior vice president for administration to remove athletic jerseys and murals displayed in recognition of O.J. Mayo and Reggie Bush by mid-August — before the incoming class of students moves on campus — from Heritage Hall, the Galen Center and the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. The university also will return Mr. Bush’s 2005 Heisman Trophy to the Heisman Trophy Trust in August.

The NCAA recently placed USC on four years’ probation after discovering that Bush and former basketball star O.J. Mayo had received improper benefits, which means that their athletic department would also receive a two-year postseason ban and major scholarship reductions. In addition to slapping the school with heavy penalties, the NCAA also cited Garret’s administration for a lack of institutional control.

Bush’s Heisman trophy has been on display alongside trophies won by other football legends, including O.J. Simpson, former Athletic Director Mike Garrett, Marcus Allen, Charles White and more, and it, along with anything else related to his participation in their well-known football program, will be removed by the time students arrive on campus next month.

Isn’t it funny how they still have O.J. Simpson’s stuff on display though?

The 2010 ESPY Awards were held yesterday (Wed. Jul 14) in Los Angeles, CA. And celebs like Amber Rose, Mario (who brought along his new girlfriend Dez), Terrell Owens, Chris Bosh, Kenyon Martin, Hank Baskett & Kendra Wilkinson, Zac Efron and more all walked the red carpet before making their way into the Nokia Theater L.A. Live for the ESPYs, which, hosted by sports network ESPN, honors the best athletes and teams in the world of sports. Reggie Bush also attended the Espys Wednesday evening, but chose not to arrive to the show with his rumored new girlfriend Amber Rose, who made her presence known on the red carpet with a bright yellow dress.

The 2010 Espys also featured a performance from singer Janelle Monae, who also participated in a funny skit with actor/comedian Will Ferrell (equipped with one of those loud, annoying vuvuzelas). Check out 20+ pictures from the 2010 Espy Awards in Los Angeles at the Nokia Theater L.A. Live below and when you continue reading…

Many of you probably remember the chatter a while back that Kanye West had allegedly chopped down Reggie Bush‘s then-girlfriend Kim Kardashian and that’s one of the main things that caused their big break-up. Well as you guys know, Reggie and Kim are no longer together and Kanye and Amber are no longer together either. And on Saturday night, Reggie was spotted kickin’ it with Amber Rose at AXE Lounge in Southampton Saturday night (Jul 3). Peep what sources told our homie FreddyO:

The two arrived together at the AXE Lounge in Southampton Saturday night and were caught loving on each other all night long. Apparently, they even took bathroom breaks together, and security guards had to guide them through the jam-packed crowd club. My sources also told me that the two left in separate cars in fear of paparazzi, but got back up later that night to talk.

More pics of Amber & Reggie boo’d up in the club below…

Celebrity socialite Kim Kardashian has finally moved on from NFL football star Reggie Bush. According to a close source, Kim and Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Miles Austin are now dating. However the two aren’t an item just yet! The source says:

“They met at a restaurant in L.A. a few months ago and exchanged numbers and have been talking ever since. They’ve had a few dates and it’s going really well. He’s not quite her boyfriend. They’re taking it slow. She thinks he’s a really good guy. He’s really sweet to her. … He thinks Kim is his dream girl.”

Kim really has a thing for those football players! At least she’s over Reggie though…

Anytime your back is against the wall, it’s always nice to have your ex-girlfriend’s sister come to your defense.

Anytime your back is against the wall, it’s always nice to have your ex-girlfriend’s sister come to your defense.

During an interview on the Ian and Margery radio show in Minnesota, Khloe Kardashian dismissed all reports stating that New Orleans Saints football star Reggie Bush received improper benefits while playing football for the University of Southern California (USC) and believes that he should be able to keep his coveted 2005 Heisman trophy. Khloe says Reggie has always been an honest guy and the type to confess to his wrong-doings.

“And how honest Reggie is about everything. I can’t see Reggie not saying like oh i made a mistake. I couldn’t see Reggie doing that. “

Reggie Bush better be glad his relationship with Khloe’s sister Kim ended on a good note because Khloe could have easily thrown him under the bus with this new scandal he’s got going on!

]]>

According to NCAA findings, Bush received a car, a house for his family, and a host of other benefits for his stellar performance in the school’s football program.

But here’s the thing: this is definitely a big no-no in college football and is unfortunately costing Reggie and the Trojans big time!

First, the Trojans are being revoked of their 2005 Orange Bowl National Championship title. Then, they will be stripped of the 12 victories they obtained during that particular season. Lastly, USC will be banned from all bowl games for 2 seasons and are on 4 years probation.

Meanwhile, Reggie Bush has spoken out on the matter and isn’t too pleased on the NCAA’s findings:

“I very much regret the turn that this matter has taken, not only for USC, but for the fans and players. I am disappointed by today’s decision and disagree with the NCAA’s findings.”

Well…that’s what you get when you break regulations. Will the Heisman be taken from Bush next?

Looks like Reggie Bush has found him a new girl. The New Orleans Saints football player was spotted out shopping in Beverly Hills with a mystery woman over the weekend. The pair was seen spending money at Barney’s and other shops and were said to look really comfortable being around each other. An eyewitness said: “They looked pretty relaxed together, like they’d known each other for a while.”

Meanwhile, rumors are going around stating that Kim Kardashian and Reggie Bush might be re-uniting and plan on getting married. But sources tell Radar Online that the football star loves being single right now and above all, has one reason why he will NEVER marry Kim. And this might sound familiar…

“His mother does not want her son dating someone who has a sex tape out there.” said our source and added “He is such a mamma’s boy; he will never marry her because she would disown him.” Our source tells us Reggie is very close to his mother and she never liked Kim the entire time they dated. “He respects his mother’s opinion and would take that into account before even his own feelings, so he will never marry Kim.”

“Kim is so caught up in the whole Hollywood thing, and that’s totally not Reggie’s scene,” said a source. “He’s a jock, he’s a ball player, that’s his career and his life, and he just feels that Kim doesn’t fit 100 percent into that. “Kim is the one who is in love with Reggie,” she said, unfortunately Reggie doesn’t feel the same way. Right now, our source says Reggie is most concerned about losing the Heisman Trophy because of a NCAA probe of USC’s football program. “His last concern is Kim Kardashian right now – he has a lot on his plate because they might be taking away his USC (Heisman Trophy) award from 2002,” the source said.

Well for one, this blatantly contradicts with this. And even though it matches this, we’re still not buying it 100%. That can’t be the only reason. It’s beginning to sound like more of a cop out now. Besides, with their track record, they’re bound to meet up, have make up sex and get back together anyway, so you never know… What do you think?

Will Reggie Bush and Kim Kardashian reunite for the 3rd time? Quite possibly!

We don’t know what Kim has been doing to get Reggie’s attention, but it may have worked. He was recently asked about reuniting with Kim and here’s what he said:

“Yeah, anything’s possible,” the pro athlete told E! News when asked at the Cedars Sinai Sports Spectacular whether a reconciliation might occur. “We’ve always been on good terms, always. No matter what happens.”

SOURCE

Call us stupid, but we wouldn’t be surprised if these two are back together by the end of the month LOL. Sounds like Kim might have put it on him again.

Kim Kardashian and Reggie Bush‘s fairytale has had another abrupt hault. Is this the end finally? It sure does look like it, as Kim has decided to move out of the house in Hollywood Hills that she and her ex-boyfriend Reggie had been sharing for the past eight months.

The reality star flew off to Miami to spend time with her sisters and nephew last week, but when she returns, she won’t be back at that particular home. Instead, she plans on moving all of her belongings fully into the $4.8 million home she purchased in Beverly Hills earlier this year.

A source tells E! News Kim hasn’t had a chance to move her stuff out of Reggie’s place yet but will get to it as soon as she can.

Whats a house to be called a home for with no one there to share it with? Kim’s bachelorette pad isn’t quite fit for just one with five bedrooms! Hmm… do we feel a VH1 reality show coming on? We can see it now: “Kim’s Lucky Bachelor!”

As all of you know, there has been a bunch of chatter all over print and internet media about Kim Kardashian and Reggie Bush‘s recent breakup, but no one has been 100% sure of what the REAL reason was. Well X17 online spoke with a source close to Reggie and here’s the scoop:

A source told X17 online: “Reggie’s mom just could not get over the fact that Kim had a sex tape. Reggie and his family are very conservative, and he told Kim that a marriage is never going to happen between them because of the tape.”

Kim is said to regret the video more than ever now as she believes she would still be with Reggie, 25, if it had never been made public.

The source added: “She’s still crazy about him. If she didn’t have the sex tape, she could have been Mrs. Bush.”

SOURCE

It’s so sad (for Kim) that this sex tape surfaced, but we knew all along that Reggie would not marry this chick because of this. What good man with morals would marry a chick that the world has seen butt azz naked gettin’ smashed from behind? We knew that it would be only a matter of time before Reggie would get stop being mesmerized by Kim’s beauty and realize that she isn’t wifey material. Po’ thang…

Word on the sidewalk is that it’s over (again) between Reggie Bush and Kim Kardashian.

Meanwhile, Kim is busy in Miami taping the next season of “Kourtney & Khloe Take Miami” with her sisters and staying busy with various other business moves. And what is Reggie doing these days? Nothing really other than partying and enjoying the off-season, just like a Super Bowl winner should! Read on for more info on Reggie and Kim’s most recent break-up:

Sources confirm to E! News that the reality star and her pro footballer boyfriend have split yet again. So what was the issue this time around? Kim’s fame and crazy busy schedule have been an ongoing source of conflict for the couple, who reunited last August after a quick breakup. Reggie always had trouble with the spotlight, our source tells us.

But another reunion between the couple isn’t completely out of the question.”They do truly love each other and there’s no bad blood,” says the insider, who adds that they’re even open to the idea of reconciling down the road, but need to be apart right now.

Yeah, they’ll be back together soon…

We are getting word via TMZ that Kim Kardashian has just cashed out on a 4,000 square foot Mediterranean villa in Beverly Hills!

This $4.8 million dollar luxurious pad has 5 bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms, an impressive 2-story entry, formal living and dining rooms (both have fireplaces) and a whole lot more. Clearly Ms. Kardashian has been putting her hustle money to good use.  But will her boo Reggie Bush be accompanying her to this new crib? Most definitely, as we hear that Mr. Bush will most be moving his stuff into this fly crib as well!

Check out 15+ pics of Kim’s new pad below…

Kim Kardashian hit up Sephora in New York City Monday (Feb 15) to spread the word about her new “Kim Kardashian” fragrance.

She and her boyfriend, NFL champ Reggie Bush, spent Valentine’s Day (Sun. Feb 14) together in Las Vegas at Lavo, where Kim was hosting their official “love day bash.”

Kardashian hosted club Lavo’s official love day bash, where she and boyfriend Bush enjoyed some Italian food (and an oversized Oreo for dessert!) before heading upstairs to party.

“Whether you are single or with a loved one we are going to party tonight in Vegas!” Kardashian told the crowd. She was clad in a sexy YSL white minidress with, of course, a sweetheart neckline.

Afterward, she was presented with her own “Queen of Hearts” cake and a teddy bear from Bush reading, “Happy Valentine’s Day.”

The Kardashians aren’t wasting any time finding love and making it stick. Khloe, the youngest Kardashian girl, recently got married to Lamar Odom. Kourtney, the oldest, is expecting her first child with her on/off boyfriend Scott Disick; and now Kim is ready to take things to the next level with her off and on boyfriend Reggie Bush.

Sources say the couple is looking to take the next step in their relationship and buy a house and move in together. Kim is putting her $1.1 million dollar condo in the heart of Los Angelos back on the market for grabs and the former eligible bachelor is releasing his $5.1 million dollar bachelor pad back to the housing market under the control of Kim’s real estate agent.

Kim tells TMZ.com, “We just made the decision that we want to make it work, and the time off was really beneficial for the both of us. I think sometimes people need to take a break just to take time off to see how much they need each other and how much they really are compatible.”

Well, good luck with that!

We don’t have any new pictures of Kim Kardashian and Reggie Bush out and about together (yet) but multiple reports of the two spending time together are surfacing regularly now. The two were recently spotted Monday (Aug 16) at a restaurant in New Orleans and were “all smiles” as they walked into the establishment together:

Are Kim Kardashian and Reggie Bush keeping up with each other? Just three weeks after they amicably split, the pair were “all smiles” as they walked together Monday into a Ruth’s Chris Steak House in New Orleans, an observer tells PEOPLE. Why they hooked up wasn’t yet known – her rep didn’t immediately comment – but both were in the Big Easy on business: Kardashian had a long-planned appearance at a Dress for Success charity event and Bush is in the Saints training camp to prepare for the NFL season.

SOURCE: PEOPLE

Another unknown source says that the pair is “taking it day by day” and it’s being reported that Kim is supposed to be staying at Reggie’s New Orleans home until he returns from training camp in Houston!

“They’re taking it day by day,” says the source. “They’re not sure what the future holds, but they love each other enough to give things another shot.” Kim’s even trying to show her man that she’s willing to sacrifice. How so? Despite her hectic schedule, she’s spending the rest of August in New Orleans while Reggie finishes up training camp in Houston. Sources say Kim is staying at his New Orleans home and waiting for his return from camp.

Some video chick named Carmen Ortega is looking for some free publicity at the expense of Reggie Bush. She has revealed that she has a sex tape of a late night romp between her and the New Orleans Saints football player, who recently broke up with his longtime girlfriend, socialite/TV personality Kim Kardashian.

Ortega claims she was romancing the New Orleans Saints running back while he was dating his ex – and she has the footage to prove it. Speaking on New York radio station Hot 97, Ortega reveals, “Me and Reggie were friends that became more… during Kim… (but now) me and Reggie do not communicate… I don’t want to.”

Asked if sex tape rumours are true, Ortega said, “Possibly… There’s stuff that I have. I have no idea what I’m gonna do with it, to be honest.” But the model dismissed reports she’s expecting Bush’s child: “I am not pregnant.”

Word on the sidewalk is that socialite Kim Kardashian and her NFL football star boyfriend Reggie Bush have split! Kim’s rep confirmed the news to various media outlets. Sources say the time they spent apart took a toll on their relationship. Having recently returned from a trip to Africa in honor of Russell Simmons’ Diamond Empowerment Fund, the pair decided it’d be best to just go their separate ways with Reggie’s upcoming fourth football season just on the horizon.

“They never get to see each other, ever,” the source says. “It’s been a long time coming. They still love each other and are part of their lives, but Reggie spends six months out of the year in New Orleans, so it’s tough.”

Kardashian, 28, the star of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, had been dating Bush, 24, since 2007. The couple were seen as the perfect Hollywood pair, stepping out on red carpets and posing for a GQ spread together.

“They were the cutest couple,” another source tells PEOPLE. “They loved each other so much but they hardly saw each other. He starts his football training camp this week and she starts filming Keeping up with the Kardashians this week. They just need a break right now.”

Kim Kardashian and Reggie Bush are featured in the latest issue of GQ Magazine, which is on stand now. According to Kim herself, the article features an interview titled “The Saint and the Sinner” where the two talk about their relationship, how they met, the things they argue about, and more. The shoot was done at a mansion in LA. Continue reading for the rest of the hot photo spread and to peep the interview!

How’d you two meet?
Kim: Matt Leinart [quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals] was dating a friend of mine, Paris Hilton. I went to the ESPY Awards with my stepdad, and Matt was sitting with Reggie. The rest is history.

Reggie, had you been encouraging Leinart to introduce you two?
Reggie: No, I’d never seen Kim before the ESPY Awards. After that, I started inquiring.

I bet. Having a famous girlfriend is a good way to get heat from fans, though. Just ask Tony Romo.
Reggie: They want to put the blame on somebody, because it couldn’t possibly be the team’s fault. It has to be because we’re in this Hollywood relationship. Which is absolute bullshit. I think, as a man, as a football athlete—that’s how I make my money, that’s what we train for all year—I could never stand for that. A loss has nothing to do with Kim, or Jessica Simpson. If we lose a game, it’s because we didn’t make enough plays.

Enough niceties—I gotta hear some pet peeves.
Kim: Oh, my God, Reggie is the slowest person anyone will ever encounter. I don’t understand how he’s so fast on the field. He’s like a slug!

Reggie?
Reggie: She always feels rushed. It basically trickles down to her having an attitude. So we get into little arguments.
Kim: If he makes me late, it makes me have an attitude. This morning, on the way to the photo shoot, he wanted to drive together, but—
Reggie: Whoa, whoa, whoa! I did not want to drive together. I told you to go by yourself, and you wanted to wait for me. There were ants in the bathroom this morning, and I was like, “Babe, can you grab the Raid to spray these ants?” She was like, “I don’t have time for that!”

That sounds normal enough, but here’s what people can’t fathom: Reggie was a star at USC, a campus crawling with the best-looking girls in America. Kim, you’ve been married before, and have a sex tape. How do you guys get over the past?
Reggie: We don’t talk about it, and we don’t think about it. With Kim, and with anybody in life, it’s not my place to judge, no matter what they’ve done—good, bad, or indifferent. I was a friend to her when she needed one, and we ended up talking, and everything worked out.
Kim: At first we had our friends saying crazy things—all the reasons that we shouldn’t date each other. We didn’t listen.

By the way, how’d your first-ever joint photo shoot go?
Reggie: I already know I’m going to catch hell from my boys and my teammates. They love to talk trash and post up pictures in the locker room. But you gotta take these opportunities as they come, man, because when you’re old and you don’t got it anymore—
Kim: When you’re not hot…
Reggie: …you’re going to wish you did that.

New Orleans Saints runningback Reggie Bush, also most known for being Kim Kardashian’s main squeeze, landed himself a lucrative endorsement deal with energy soda pioneer Red Bull. He’s the first football player to be supported by the energy soda giant. The announcement came about last week with a full jet ski team who performed, while Bush himself flew over Raymond James Stadium in a sea plane.

“Like a lot of professional athletes, I’ve been drinking Red Bull for years,” Bush said in a statement. “It keeps me focused during training and is my favorite when I’m out with friends. Red Bull is fun, young, and energetic, and is also extremely passionate about sports – just like me. So joining the Red Bull team was a no-brainer.”

This should make his main squeeze Kim Kardashian VERY happy!

Lucky boyfriend Reggie Bush, of course, attended the party too. Must be hard maintaining a football career and hitting up all of these events with a chick like Kim Kardashian…

Kim Kardashian and her life-size accessory, Reggie Bush, were spotted as they left Crustacean Restaurant in Beverly Hills Saturday night. And for the record, being Kim’s accessory isn’t a bad thing!
