Funny story. And yet another sign of how many people were watching this 2010 FIFA World Cup from
South Africa this summer. After U.S. star Landon Donovan said hi to his former wife actress Bianca
Kajlich at the end of his post-game flash interview following his dramatic stoppage time goal
defeated Algeria and won the Group for the USA at the 2010 World Cup, U.
Just a day after his team was dismissed by Ghana from the World Cup, Grant Wahl of Sports
Illustrated reported that a British tabloid had plans to feature a story about a woman who
claims to be pregnant with what she says is Donovan's child. Donovan exclusively addressed said
"imminent" by saying he would assume responsiblity if the child were his, but did not divulge any
other juicy details.

Looks like USA football stud Landon Donovan is heading for a tabloid sh*t
storm.
It was almost one year ago that Bianca Kajlich and Landon Donovan amicably split and eventually
divorced. At the time Donovan was very quiet about the split. As a fairly private, if not guarded,
man it was no surprise that kept the details to himself. I respected that, but I always wondered
what more there was to the story.

When we first heard about the ESPY Awards, we lost hours of our lives thinking about how we
could blag our way in and receive thousands of award-winning spa treatments. Then (once sober) we
realised we were confusing the American sports awards put on by ESPN with ESPA the beauty
brand we want to marry.
Donovan and actress Bianca Kajlich, who stars on the television sitcom "Rules of Engagement," were
married for three years before separating last July and finalizing a divorce in late 2009. In
discussing that deeply personal subject, the 28-year-old United States forward refers to the
relationship and the split as a catalyst for his improvement as both a man and a player.
Remember the other day when I was all high on Bianca Kajlich after she and LD were all loved-up at
the ESPY's? I thought for sure they were back on; they looked all gooey and quite frankly I hoped
they were back on because I am a sap who enjoys a good love story*.
That was on July 14th.
With US International star Landon Donovan set to arrive this week at Everton
on a 10 week loan from the LA Galaxy, footy fans on both side of the pond are asking:
Will Donovan finally prove himself in Europe? To answer that question we thought it would
be helpful to take a look at Landycakes' past Euro-tours, and analyze what might be
different this time:
Tour #1) In 1999, Donovan joins Bayer Leverkusen at the ripe
age of 17, turning down training offers from Manchester United and Arsenal.
Donovan and "Rules of Engagement" star Bianca Kajlich had an emotional telephone conversation in
the early hours of Thursday morning after he had blown her an on-camera kiss just moments after
scoring the winner against Algeria.
A tearful Landon Donovan said his dramatic added time winner for the United States made him
"believe in good in the world" again after coming through a painful divorce and heavy criticism in
recent years.
Donovan's goal gave the USA a 1-0 victory over Algeria which sent them into the last 16 instead
of on the plane back home.

The couple married in 2006, and seperated in July 2009.

Yeah, I think these completely artificial awards are lame too, a thinly-veiled excuse to fill up
TV time after the MLB All-Star game, as a colleague pointed out this week.
Here's the thing. I could bag on E! for asking Lando about the alleged baby momma-drama with his
wife standing right there but you know that if they didn't we'd have never heard an answer on
whether or not there was a kid on the way or if it was all a Ghanaian plot to throw him off his
game ahead of of the Round of 16 (my personal conspiracy theory on the whole episode).
