Back in December, we brought you the horrifying news that 2011 With Leather Celebrity Sports Fan of the Year and Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue cover model Kate Upton was rumored to be dating New York Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez. And it all made sense – Upton’s sister works for the Jets so she gets Kate free tickets to games and Sanchez can’t get enough of teenage girls.

Of course, other rumors have come and gone – Sanchez and Kim Kardashian, Upton and Tim Tebow, Sanchez and Kirstie Alley, Upton and me. For the sake of disclosure, I may have made two of those up right now. However, this 4-month old rumor was seemingly laid to rest, but that didn’t stop Ellen DeGeneres from digging up the corpse on her show yesterday.

Meanwhile, Upton is staying coy over a reported romance with American football player Mark Sanchez.

When questioned about the New York Jets player on the Ellen DeGeneres Show, she conceded he was ‘cute’.

She said: ‘Yeah, he is cute. I’ve met him. My sister works for the Jets. And she’s been working there for four years. So, I went to all the games.

‘I met him briefly.’ (Via the Daily Mail)

Obviously we can all smell the bullsh*t a mile away, as if it’s a delightful lilac and cinnamon fragrance, or what I imagine Upton’s hair smells like when she’s asleep. But I appreciate With Leather’s First Lady for carrying on this discretion for the sake of us dorks.

Oh by the way, did you know that Upton is the new face of Skullcandy earphones? It’s true, and she helped advertise them in the best way possible – by wearing very little.

Miami Heat forward LeBron James made a guest appearance on the Ellen DeGeneres Show yesterday, as he stopped by an aerobics class to surprise her writer, Amy. For some unknown reason, Amy was getting her workout in while wearing something from the Hillary Clinton Vagpowerment Collection, but she’s apparently a huge fan of the man who calls himself the Chosen One, so this was undoubtedly quite the treat for her. Meanwhile, that one chick, in the black tights? Yeah, totally.

Ellen really took comedy to the next level, too, by becoming the 10 billionth person to use the “The Bron” joke and I’m sure somewhere Chris Farley is trying really hard to spin in his grave. But Ellen did vow to lend her fan support to the Heat this season in exchange for this appearance, adding:

“Last year I supported the Saints and they won the Super Bowl. This year I supported the Green Bay Packers. They won the Super Bowl. Do you want me to help you win the NBA championship?”

LeBron of course responded positively and offered to shower her with gifts if they win. He’ll also trade her Chris Bosh for a staff intern and a second round pick. Video of his appearance below.
