Chicago Bears QB is an absolute buffoon for dumping his incredibly hot fiance' Kristin Cavallari.

The couple had just finished the registry for the wedding, booking the location and even had planned for Cavallari to move to the Windy City. Instead, Cutler got cold feet and backed out according to cinemablend.com:

Laguna Beach star Kristin Cavallari is now his ex-fiance after he reportedly dumped the reality star shortly after the couple’s engagement party. The specifics are still a guarded secret, but Cavallari was seen sans engagement ring last night, putting to rest any doubts this may have been a fake rumor gone too far.

Cutler's decision was reportedly a complete shock to Cavallari. She had no idea it was coming. The pressure of a wedding was like a defensive lineman charging at the Bears QB. Instead of making a play to avoid the sack, Cutler merely threw the ball out of bounds.

I'm not sure if you know who Cavallari is, but all it takes is a quick google search to realize this girl is incredible gorgeous. She was all about Cutler and everything seemed peachy.

But that is Cutler in a nutshell. He has always had a "me first" attitude, never taking in the consideration of others in the process.

The city of Denver was seen dancing in the streets upon the news that he had been shipped out of town and off the Broncos. His stand offish personality towards fans and the media is well chronicled. Stories of snubbing people and treating them like dirt are not hard to find.

The city of Chicago should be happy with him considering the Bears made it all the way to the NFC Championship game. Yet the image of a indifferent Cutler on the sidelines in the second half still remains a fresh burn.

Warning to all future lady friends of Cutler...beware.

Dallas Cowboys QB Tony Romo just missed winning the American Century Championship on Sunday.

The celebrity golf tournament that is annually held in Lake Tahoe Nevada brings out the competitiveness of big names in movies and sports.

Names such as Michael Jordan, Jerome Bettis, Charles Barkley, Wayne Gretzky and Carlton from the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air are just a few names that have competed in the event. 

It came down to the very end and Romo was unable to catch actor Jack Wagner. The only non-athlete to win the event in the 22 year history of the event.

Wagner drilled a 10-foot birdie on the 17th hole and Romo couldn't catch up. So once again the critics can point to the lack of clutch ability when it counts. Remember the famous fumbled snap against the Seattle Seahawks in the playoffs? Or how about the poor performance against the Minnesota Vikings in the 2010 playoffs?

While this isn't nearly the same stage, it's another failure in the fourth quarter so to speak. Yet after the event, Romo wasn't phased by his close loss:

Six birdies, no bogeys. That's a good round of golf for me.

He just missed out on a $125,000 paycheck that is awarded to the winner...something Romo could of used after footing the bill for his extravagant wedding held in Dallas last month.

As the NFL lockout finally looks to be coming to a close, this is one of the last leisure weekends for Romo. Starting at the end of this month (let's hope), it's back to business.

Romo will be coming off a season that was a major disappointment. He only played in six games and the Cowboys won a grand total of one game. He put up 1,605 yards with 11 TDs and seven INTs.

The pressure is on as the 31-year old continues to age before our eyes. The window of opportunity is closing and Romo needs to step up before he is relegated to celebrity golf tournaments as his only form of competition.

Ron Artest played the role of a super hero outside of club on Hollywood Blvd over the weekend.

The LA Lakers forward that recently announced he changed his name to "Metta World Peace" was at a club and decided to call it a night. On his walk to the car he spotted a male and female fighting each other. Punches were being thrown and the women was taking lots of them.

Artest was less than amused and decided to play peacemaker. He stepped in and broke the two apart from each other and lived up to his new name. It was a odd sequence of events, but Artest certainly did his part as a good samaritan. He spoke with TMZ about the incident:

Unfortunately there was a situation at the club and some people had too much to drink, and got unruly and aggressive. I tried to diffuse the situation. Some people just don't think clearly when they've had too much to drink -- it's an unfortunate reality.

You can check out the video at TMZ.com.

Can you imagine getting in a fight and having Artest break it up?

His days as a reckless and violent person are in the rear view mirror, but imagine the look of horror on the guys face when he looks at the face of the person trying to break up his fight. He may be able to beat up a drunk girl...but Artest is a whole different ballgame.

The new and more tranquil Artest seemed to get involved purely to breakup the fight and that's another sign of the maturity Artest has displayed the past few years.

The brawl at the palace is a very distant memory and Artest is really starting to emerge as a odd but extremely friendly and approachable person. His play on the court may be declining faster than he would hope, but his off the court antics have improved tremendously.

Lil Kim's birthday party was full of surprises and an intresting mix of famous people.

The "queen bee" turned 37 on July 11th and was thrown a surprise birthday party by Basketball Wives star Evelyn Lozada and Minnesota Vikings DT Bryant McKinnie last week.

The Miami bash featured hundreds of people and a mix of celebrities, musicians and athletes.

Floyd "Money" Mayweather is a good friend of Kim's and was there to support her. As were performers Guyana, Brianna, Lyriq, and Natural.

Kim hasn't done much lately to keep her in the headlines but was released bounced from Monica's single Anything (To Find You). People wondered if something had happened between the two or if it wasn't a big deal. It turns out there is no beef and the two are hoping to work together in the near future.

But speaking of beef's, the one she has with Nicki Minaj is still alive and well. Still waiting on the diss track....

Alex Morgan's boyfriend can't be too pleased with all of the Facebook love his significant other has been receiving of late.

Servando Carrasco is an MLS player for the Seattle Sounders and met Morgan when the two were in college together at Cal. They have been a couple for the last four years and have a strong enough relationship to live apart from each other for months at a time. Carrasco is way up in the pacific northwest and is on the entire opposite side of the country of Morgan.

Morgan lived and trained in New York for the World Cup and it's unclear where she will reside now that the tournament is over.

The 22-year old heart throb has accumulated quite the fan base over the past week. She scored the game winning goal in the semi's against France and secured a goal and assist in the heartbreaking defeat to Japan on Sunday.

She is attracting Facebook friends like crazy and a lot of them are trying to marry her. Morgan is getting the proposals in at a fast and furious rate.

Elliot Turner of Yahoo! Sports talks about his extensive research into the proposals:

Of course, in terms of statistical counting, a marriage proposal must involve a clear and explicit offer. We did not include any general "wish you were with me" facebook posts. We did include a Spanish-language offer, but were unable to translate the German posts. Thus, if anything, our final number of 27 may be lower than it should be. Due to logistical constraints, we only focused on a single Alex Morgan Facebook page. And sorry gents, I know the word "single" and "Alex Morgan" made your heart skip a beat. In fact she is attached. Making these 27 proposals all the more audacious.

Now that the Women's World Cup is over the amount of proposals will likely take a nose-dive, but her star is only beginning to shine.

She is young, attractive and an amazing player that is only going to get better. This is certainly not the last you will hear from her and expected hundreds of more proposals to flood in....much to the chagrin of her boyfriend.

LA Lakers super six man Lamar Odom and wife Khole Kardashian had a very unexpected change of plans on Saturday.

The couple was in Queens New York visiting where Lamar grew up. They had plans to visit old friends of Odom and drive around the city.

The plans changed dramatically.

Mediatakeout.com, a site that apparently really likes capitalized words a whole lot, has the details:

NBA superstar Lamar Odom and Khloe Kardashian were involved in a DEVASTATING CAR CRASH - where Lamar's automobile SMASHED into a motorcycle.

According to a MediaTakeOut.com WITNESS, Lamar's automobile was traveling in QUEENS NY . . on its way to visit a barber shop in Lamar's old neighborhood. Well before arriving, Lamar's car RAN INTO a motorcyclist - seriously injuring him.

The cyclist is now in ELMHURST hospital in Queens. Early reports are that a YOUNG BOY - who was a pedestrian IN THE VICINITY when the accident occurred was also SERIOUSLY INJURED.

We're told that neither Lamar, nor his wife Khloe Kardashian who is in NYC with him, were injured.

Luckily the couple is ok, but thoughts and prayers go out to the motorcyclist that is in far worse shape as well as the 15-year old pedestrian. The current conditions on the two have yet to be disclosed.

It was a tough weekend for Odom that got even worse. He originally flew back to his home town to attend the funeral of his cousin.

The 6-10 forward was reportedly very distraught over the whole ordeal and an already tough weekend got even worse.

It is a good thing Odom is ok because now that the NBA is in full on lockout mode, Odom doesn't have the incredible health insurance benefits he normally has with the LA Lakers.

A catastrophic injury would have to be paid for on his own dime.

But fear not, Odom is ok and Saturday's incident will not have any sort of effect on his status heading into the new NBA season.

If there is one thing we all know about Kim Kardashian...it's her ability to milk something for as long as humanly possible.

She is insanely famous for...well nobody really knows exactly what for, but Kim has landed reality show after reality show and was even named the highest paid TV personality in 2010.

The dough is rolling in and she even got the rest of her sisters a show.

So when Kim announced that she was engaged to get married, America assumed they would be getting a date that was at least a year away so a new E! series would come out of it. 

But those ideas came to a screeching halt when it was announced that Kim and fiance' Kris Humphries will be getting married August 20th in California. Here is Rebecca Davis of Wagerun with more details:

The reality TV star and her 30-year-old fiance are rumored to have planned the Kim Kardashian wedding date for a later date but have been forced to agree on a date in August due to huge media interest. While the Kim Kardashian wedding date is already known, the place is yet to be selected with at least 1,000 guests preparing to attend the ceremony. The couple planned to have a wedding party on the East coast and another one on the West coast but they agreed to make it just one huge party, sources close to Kardashian said.

The media attention is likely going to rival the royal wedding and Kim wanted to make sure this event didn't get put on the back-burner.

With only a full summer to be engaged, it sure seems like the couple is rushing to tie the knot, especially when you consider they have only been together since the winter time. But you can't rush true love...right?

Whose knows how long the couple will be married for but this whole ordeal has already been a success for Humphries. The solid, yet plain New Jersey Nets bigman had never been in the spotlight and has been catapulted to a whole new stratosphere of attention since he began dating the reality starlet.

I'm sure a reality show spin-off will be there for the taking with the newly weds. With Lamar Odom already apart of the Kardashian Klan, the NBA is beginning to take over E! television.

What else are they supposed to do during a lockout that will seemingly go on into the fall and possibly keep players like Odom and Humphries out of work for a long time?

The gift registry for the wedding of Jay Cutler and Kristin Cavallari features a little bit of everything.

The Chicago Bears starting QB and the reality starlet aren't getting married until July 7th of next year, but that doesn't mean you can't start planning for it.

Their gift registry has been released on the Internet and they have a huge list to choose from at Crate and Barrel and Williams and Sonoma.

So if you are looking to spend $36 on a maple rolling pin, now is your chance. The list includes a little bit of everything, from a $240 frying pan to Shun Kaji 19-piece knife set for $2,800.

After giving the entire list a glance...it's clear that Cavallari is trying to be very domestic. The amount of cookware she is looking for is absolutely mind-boggling.

It's funny to see the items that have already been fulfilled on the Crate and Barrel list. The cheap beer  and shot glasses, the $5.95 gravy boat and $11.95 nutcracker have already been bought by that guy who shows up to the wedding with three separate gifts looking like a big shot.

Cutler had plenty of time to go over the registry. His Chicago Bears have been in full lockout mode for over 120 days now and Cutler certainly hasn't been the guy to bring his teammates together in a attempt to get some practice reps in.

As Drew Brees and other QBs around the league take the initiative and organized team activities without the coaching staff around—Cutler is busy living the Hollywood dream.

But regardless of how you feel about his work ethic and heart on the football field...you can show Cutler how much you like him by purchasing that wooden spoon on the registry.

Former BYU star Jimmer Fredette has yet another reason to smile.

The darling of the 2010-2011 college basketball season, the No. 10 overall pick in the NBA Draft, and ESPY award winner now can claim that he shares the same name with a special animal.

Not a dog or cat in Provo, but a racing horse. Here is the Saratogian with the details:

Among the youngsters is a colt sure to be popular with local fans: Jimmer. The son of Elusive Quality is named for Glens Falls native and former BYU basketball star Jimmer Fredette, a top 10 pick in the NBA draft who is set to begin his career with the Sacramento Kings.

Pat Hammel, wife of Glens Falls basketball coach Tony Hammel, works on the barn staff for Bill Mott, who, along with Pletcher, is one of WinStar Farm’s top trainers. Pat Hammel suggested naming a colt after Fredette to WinStar president/CEO and racing manager Elliott Walden. WinStar liked the idea and chose this particular colt.

No word yet on if the horse can launch 30-foot jumpers, but I can confirm that it lets other horses pass him by on defense.

It's just the latest example of how a hard-working quiet guy can become a national hero and have bizarre honors like this one to show for it.

As the younger Jimmer reaches his peak performing years...does that mean he will be off and running before the older Jimmer's NBA career even begins?

The NBA lockout is in full swing and the end seems to be far away. That gives the newest member of the Sacramento Kings plenty of time to root on his horse. Will he help train the budding racing star?

Highly doubtful...he's too busy launching deep three's in a dark gym in anytown USA.

Dirk Nowitzki's new girlfriend is about one million times better than his last one.

Dirk spent the past season conquering his demons of the past by finishing what he started and winning an NBA Championship. Not only did Dirk win, his Dallas Mavericks beat the big bad Miami Heat that are the villains of the NBA. The entire nation was rooting for the German Mongoose and the ending was straight out of a Hollywood script.

The same could be said his previous venture with love.

Dirk was the guy that got completely humiliated by a women that was out to squeeze every last dollar out of him. Cristal Taylor had claimed she was pregnant with the baby of Dirk and conveniently made the announcement after the two had broken off their engagement and she was getting booked into prison. 

The rap sheet on Taylor is incredibly long. She was sent to jail for violating the terms of probation from multiple prior arrests for charges such as forgery, theft, and theft of service. She has been booked into jail as Cristal Taylor, but according to numerous media sources, she has also gone by as many as 16 aliases as listed on police documents.

Former St. Louis Rams QB Tony Banks has also admitted to having a long term relationship with Taylor.

It was an incredible embarrassment for Dirk and something he tried to avoid publicly at all costs.

Now he seems as happy as ever with new girlfriend Jessica Olsson. The Sweedish bombshell pictured above has been dating the Mavs star for a year now and the couple sound extremely happy together. Not much is known about her personal life and I think he can all agree that is a good thing.

The less we know about an athletes girlfriend the better and Dirk found that out the hard way.

Dirk's new girlfriend The 50 Greatest Sports-Movie Quotes Ever

JJ Barea of the 2011 NBA Champion Dallas Mavericks has won the contest for hottest girlfriend in the league.

In fact, he may even win a contest for hottest girlfriend on the planet. She is Puerto Rican native Zuleyka Rivera and she's the winner of the 2006 Miss Universe competition. She is not only the most beautiful women in Barea's home country...she was the hottest girl on the face of the earth.

And you thought winning an NBA Championship was his biggest accomplishment.

Barea has been extremely humble when talking about his girlfriend. He claims to have sent a few innocent text messages to her when trying to court the drop-dead beauty.

I simple "Hope your doing good" later and Barea is the luckiest man in the NBA. Is capturing supermodels that easy?

Now that he is a free agent...will the g/f be trying to make a move to a media capital? Will she force his hand the way LaLa did with Carmelo Anthony to New York?

Highly unlikely considering they don't even live together. It's the perfect setup for a guy and I speak for all men when I say congrats to JJ.

He may even use the NBA lockout as an excuse to go play in Spain. Barea has told reporters he wants a deal to get done, but if not, overseas teams are certainly an option. Will she follow him all the way across the world?

The only problem that may arise is the size disadvantage for Barea. Of course this is nothing new, but Barea is the short guy in the relationship. He may be listed at 6-0, but everyone can agree he is much closer to 5-10 and may even be shorter than that.

So when the 5-9 Rivera is wearing heels—once again Barea is the smallest guy out there.

If that's the worst problem the couple is having...I'm pretty sure Barea is ok with that.

Justin Bieber solidified his place in the world of famous people with his appearance at the 2011 ESPY's.

The only sports award show of the year features the cream of the crop in the last year in sports. This year guys like Green Bay Packers Super Bowl MVP Aaron Rodgers, LA Clippers Slam Dunk Champion Blake Griffin, Minnesota Timberwolves rebounding champion Kevin Love, Dallas Mavericks Finals MVP Dirk Nowitzki and even the owner of the team Mark Cuban.

Toss in movie stars such as Jason Bateman and Ryan Reynolds and you have yourself one star-studded event.

All of their stars are shinning as bright as could be right now.

But nobody is shinning quite like the underage kid. A 17-year old with impeccable hair has taken America by storm and shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon.

Justin Bieber stepped out of his limo to the sounds of thousands of screaming girls unable to control themselves as their favorite star walks by. He is larger than life right now and his celebrity trumps even the biggest athlete.

ESPN's Colin Cowherd and Michelle Beadle couldn't stop talking about the incredible reception the kid with the most famous hair in the world received. Both agreed that the noise level when Bieber showed up was incredible.

Winning a major sports championship is cool....but it's not Beiber cool.

I'm not sure if this is a reflection on the people in attendance that like their celebrities more than their athletes, or society in general just can't get enough of the Canadian.

Moral of the story—this is Bieber's world and we are all just living in it.

Brian Wilson and his ESPY's outfit is hands down the wackiest piece of clothing ever to walk the red carpet.

Yes I use the singular version of the word clothing because Wilson's outfit was a one piece. The black skin tight unitard leaves little to the imagine for the ESPY's viewing audience.

He is also sporting the white gloves ala Michael Jackson and is rocking the orange and white bow tie in an ode to his team the San Francisco Giants. He caps it all off with a crazy looking pimp cane that he told Erin Andrews was his "plus one". No girl can handle the one-piece and Wilson didn't even bother wasting his time to see if one could.

Fresh off closing the All Star game by securing the save for the National League in Phoenix Arizona, Wilson hopped on a plane straight to LA for the award ceremony.

Despite dealing with "morning beard", Wilson has able to make the red carpet in grand fashion. Wilson officially stole the show.

When you can't decide whether he looks like a penguin or a ballet dancer...you know it's a good outfit.

Tonight in LA there are hundreds of celebrities and athletes on hand to celebrate the year in sports. Awards will be handed out and musical performances will be tossed in as well. ESPY's host Seth Myers may even crack a joke that's actually funny.

But before the show even gets underway, the most memorable moment of the 2011 ESPY's has to be the penguin/ballet costume of the bearded one.

Sure winning a World Series and being an extremely important part of it is good stuff—but nothing beats rocking a one si in front of a national audience of millions.

Gisele Bundchen has offered a glimpse into her world as she gives fans a tour of her new mansion.

New England Patriots QB Tom Brady's Victoria Secret Model wife celebrated her birthday earlier this week and for a gift to her fans, she posted a video of the latest contest she is conducting for all of the fans on facebook.

She is incredibly short on details, but the juicy part of this will be announced on July 14th aka Thursday. In the background you can see her new mansion that is currently under construction.

Recently some pictures have been released showing the couple as they inspect the progress on their new Los Angeles home. The multi-million dollar home looks to be as luxurious and extravagant as you would expect and the progress seems to be coming along quickly.

Ok I said multi-millions...but how many zeros?

How about 20,000,000 or $20M!!!!

With the NFL lockout still in effect, Brady has plenty of time to point out all of the flaws and issues he has with the construction. In other words...nobody is rooting for the labor dispute to end more than the contracting company that is working with Brady.

The three-time Super Bowl wining QB is having the home built from the ground up and it clearly is going to be a palace.

Having their dream house constructed is a dream of the couple and money is the last issue. Brady is entering the final year of a six year and $60M and Bundchen reportedly made a cool $25M for modeling in the year 2010. 

Stay tuned for the latest on the contest on Thursday and keep an eye out for more updates on the eye-popping mansion that is currently being constructed.

Tony Romo's wedding video breaks the unintentional comedy record with some of the most "dramatic" scenes ever.

The Dallas Cowboys star QB got hitched last month to former TV news reporter Candice Crawford in a lavish wedding in the city of Dallas. Plenty of stars and teammates were on hand for the occasion and by all accounts it was a magical night.

Now a wedding video trailer has been released on the Internet for all to see.

After viewing the video, it's hard to tell if you should laugh at the ridiculous production value with Coldplay playing in the background, or to cry with the romantic display that was on hand.

With the way the camera zoomed in on Romo's face as he fake shaves his stubble is incredibly humorous. So is the shot of the brides maids that shows the one on the left that has wicked bride-envy as she looks ready to murder somebody. With all the camera angles and zooming techniques on display, this video was shot by professionals.

Add in the dramatic freeze frames and close-ups...and this has Hollywood written all over it.

On the other hand, that video makes the whole ordeal pretty romantic.

From the elegant tables and chairs to the incredibly large wedding cake that looked to be over eight feet tall, it was clear the couple went all out for the event.

The reception looked to be a blast as beautiful women in beautiful dresses rock the dance stage with alcoholic beverages in hand. I think it's safe to say Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson's characters in Wedding Crashers would have loved to attend the wedding.

Not sure if this is a trailer for some sort of documentary of full length feature film, but this video is definitely a preview of something to come.

As the NFL lockout continues to roll on, Romo has to kill time doing something right?
