Following up on yesterday’s rumor that Girl Next Door/empty vessel Kendra Wilkinson was dating/engaged to Eagles WR Hank Baskett: they’re called rumors for a reason.  As WWTDD noted, an insider at E! points out that other Playmates at the Mansion start rumors like this in an attempt to move up in the Hefner pecking order.  That source also pointed out that Kendra has a nightly curfew, and Baskett plays football on the other side of the country, so it’s not like they’ve got the greatest foundation for a lasting, meaningful relationship.  As if that has anything to do with being engaged, but whatever.

More importantly, Kendra also denied the rumor with an announcement on her MySpace page:

hiiiiii just wanna let yall know that i am not engaged! if i was id be very happy though n i wouldnt hide it..hahahahaha!!!!! rumors are sooooooooo fuckin funny. yaa trickk yaaaaaa lololol!! Love is a beautiful thing n i think the world needs more of it. lol..

I don’t want to nitpick, but that’s not even English.  Kendra is 23 years old and has the grammar skills of a seven-year-old.  Just as a random comparison, when I was 23 I had graduated college and could write complex five-paragraph orders for Marine tank platoon missions.  The lesson being: if you have the choice, die your hair blond, get big fake tits, and have a nice tight ass.  Life will be considerably easier.

Matt White is a journeyman minor league pitcher who's trying to break in with the Dodgers this season. He also has the best chance to become the first billionaire baseball player.

White, who has appeared in seven big league games in nine professional seasons, paid $50,000 three years ago to buy 50 acres of land from an elderly aunt who needed the money to pay for a nursing home. While clearing out a couple acres to build a home, he discovered stone ledges in the ground, prompting him to have the property surveyed. A geologist estimated there were 24 million tons of the stone on his land. The stone is being sold for upward of $100 per ton, meaning there's well over $2 billion worth of material used for sidewalks, patios and the like.

Riiiiiight, he found the rock "after" he bought it from his feeble old aunt. As a "favor to her." Because she "needed the money." Whatever happened, he definitely did NOT screw over his poverty-stricken, dying aunt to become the country's next shale baron.

Of course, due to overhead costs like mining and transportation, White may have to settle for selling the land for only a couple hundred million dollars. Tough break. Meanwhile his aunt has bedsores and needs her bedpan changed. But screw her, she's old and smells funny.
