Ryan Seacrest and his girlfriend, Dancing With the Stars pro and aspiring country singer Julianne Hough, attempted to put to rest all those "Ryan is gay" rumors by engaging in an enthusiastic snog-fest aboard Ryan's yacht in Italy, well within camera range of the elite paparazzi corps that follows Ryan around whenever the Kardashians are in seclusion.
The World Cup comes only every four years, so its sexy storylines have to have staying power. And while this tournament has been historic for a number of reasons, we'll choose to remember it for the scandals and love matches off the field. Join us as we take a stroll down Memory Touchline.
Amid the excitement of the final days of the World Cup, there is also sadness, as one of Brazil's most famous soccer players was arrested yesterday. 25-year-old goalie Bruno Fernandes is accused of arranging the murder of his lover, Eliza Samudio, also 25, after she became pregnant and refused to have an abortion. According to the Guardian, the couple met last year at a party and Samudio became pregnant after their first encounter. After she decided to keep the child, who is now 4 months old, Fernandes allegedly lured her to a small town outside of Rio de Janeiro where she was beaten, killed by an accomplice, and had some of her body parts fed to a dog.
Paris Hilton joined in the revelry of South Africa's World Cup last week (because you know how she likes soccer players) by almost getting herself arrested for possession of a little herbal refreshment. But she avoided the clink and spent the weekend partying with Leonardo DiCaprio.

Just a day after the American squad was eliminated from the 2010 World Cup after a grueling, heartbreaking extra time defeat at the hands of the Black Stars of Ghana, Sports Illustrated reported that midfielder Landon Donovan may have gotten a British woman pregnant while he was on loan to the Premier League club Everton last year.

Soccer fans blame everything in sight for a poor result at the World Cup: the ball, the referee, the temperature, the alignment of the planets. And this week Spanish and English fans have found new scapegoats: their goalkeepers' lady friends.
The planet has been consumed by World Cup Fever, but you’d barely know it from life in the US. Most Americans will tell you soccer is boring and wholly uninteresting because it takes so long for anyone to score. But I’m here to tell you those people are wrong. In fact, if you’re a woman, this game was made for you. Here’s why: 5. Va Va Voom Soccer has two 45-minute periods with a 15-minute break in between. Once the clock starts, it doesn’t stop. No wimpy time-outs, no bringing proceedings to a halt if players get hurt, no bratty coaches interrupting to throw hissy fits. The players go until time runs out.
