Which celebrity has been spotted with Torrie Wilson?
Thanks to the New York Daily News for this story:
Looks like Yankee slugger Alex Rodriguez has gone from the embrace of Hollywood beauty Cameron Diaz into the sleeper hold of a former wrestling diva and Playboy centerfold.
For the third time this month, A-Rod has been spotted with blond bombshell Torrie Wilson, this time in her hometown of Boise, Idaho, over the Christmas weekend.
Wilson and A-Rod were seen working out in the same Boise gym, causing a stir and making local headlines, RadarOnline reports.
Boise TV news anchor Mike Murad told the Daily News he was at Axiom Fitness Monday when the top-paid player in Major League Baseball walked in with Wilson, a retired World Wrestling Entertainment star.
Murad said he asked if he could take a photo, but A-Rod declined, saying, “I’m trying to keep a low profile.”
He said Rodriguez and Wilson didn’t workout together, but left the together in a pickup truck.
Rodriguez and Wilson, both 36, born three days apart in 1975, were photographed earlier this month riding bicycles in Miami.
Right before Christmas, they were spotted in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, vacationing with actor George Clooney and his new squeeze Stacey Keibler, also an ex-World Wrestling Entertainment star and Wilson’s friend.
The hazel-eyed Wilson, a winner of the 1998 Miss Galaxy fitness competition, has posed twice in Playboy, appearing on the cover in 2004.
While yet to publicly confirmed her ties to A-Rod, Wilson tweeted from Boise Christmas Day, writing, “Feeling so very grateful for the many blessings in my life.”
Jesse Ventura to move to Mexico
This story is from to the New York Daily News.
ST. PAUL, Minn. — Former Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura is so upset by the dismissal of his airport security lawsuit that he threatened Friday to apply for dual citizenship so he can spend more time in his beloved Mexico — or run for president of what he labeled “the Fascist States of America.”
Ventura sued the federal government in January, alleging that airport scans and pat-downs amounted to unreasonable search and seizure. A district judge in St. Paul threw out his lawsuit Thursday, ruling it should have been filed in a Circuit Court of Appeals.
Outside the federal courthouse in St. Paul, with a crew from his “Conspiracy Theory” cable TV show filming, Ventura said he hadn’t decided whether to continue pressing his lawsuit. He said he wanted to make his case before a jury not a panel of judges.
Ventura has said a titanium hip implanted in him in 2008 sets off metal detectors and that agents previously used hand-held wands to scan his body. He said he was subjected to a body pat-down after an airport metal detector went off last November. Ventura said he hasn’t flown since and won’t fly commercially again.
Ventura, a political independent who served one term as governor, teased that he might have to run for president to change the policy and a court system he regards as broken. Moments later, he vowed to apply for Mexican citizenship so he can live there more months of the year.
The former Navy SEAL said he had lost his patriotism.
“I will never stand for a national anthem again. I will turn my back and I will raise a fist,” he said.
