Kris Humphries puts Kim Kardashian's $2 million engagement ring up for auction: Report

A sparkling engagement ring matching the description of Kim Kardashian's symbol of marriage has been listed in an auction called "Magnificent Jewels" that’s slated for Oct. 15 at Christie’s in Manhattan, according to RumorFix.com. The high-end auction house declined to name NBA player Kris Humphries —Kardashian’s ex-husband — as the seller, saying only that "a gentleman" was behind the listing.




The former Brooklyn Net and current Boston Celtics' forward presented Kim K with the ring on her reality show Keeping Up With The Kardashians.  Their August 2011 wedding was featured in two separate and highly viewed E! specials and lasted a whole 72 days. Their divorce came a few months later.

After filing for divorce, 32-year-old Kardashian wanted to keep the ring but Humphries sought the jewel’s return as part of his fraud claim.



The Lorraine Schwartz design features a 16-karat emerald cut center stone flanked by 1.8-karat trapezoid side diamonds — in case you are in the market for some tainted bling.

The ring goes on view Oct. 11 at Christie’s in Rockefeller Center and is expected to fetch only about $500 K.

Kris Humphries and Kim Kardashian officially divorced

Kris Humphries is officially divorced from Kim Kardashian  — just in time for the reality-TV star to give birth to her first child, a girl, with rapper Kanye West.

The judgment was entered in a Los Angeles court Monday, officially ending the 72-day marriage between the NBA player and TV prop in 2011.

Fortunately for the expectant mom, they coincidentally signed off on the agreement a couple of weeks ahead of time.

This past Sunday marked the Season 8 premiere of E!'s "Keeping Up With the Kardashians," and the big reveal of Kardashian's baby's gender.



The Brooklyn Net forward initially sought an annulment, claiming that the couple’s marriage, including a televised wedding, was based on fraud.

Just thought you'd like to know.

Brooklyn Nets opening boutique on Coney Island

Nothing says Brooklyn like Coney Island and — in its latest grab to become synonymous with the Kings County borough — the Nets will be opening a boutique right next to the iconic boardwalk just in time for the Memorial Day summer tip-off.



The Nets Shop by Adidas will feature beach balls, flip-flops, visors and other summer sundries along with the usual Nets gear. Hoping to cash in on the beachfront location, the Nets are betting the biggest draw will be their $80 bikinis in the team's signature black and white colors.

The shop — a 1,100-square-foot boutique just across the street from the landmark Nathan's— will say Hello Brooklyn with a "towel-cutting" ceremony at 10 a.m. on Thursday.



“After one year, we’re fourth in the NBA in apparel,” said Nets and Barclays Center CEO Brett Yormark. “But this isn’t about sports. The Brooklyn Nets are an international lifestyle brand. Our colors have become synonymous with the borough.”

Maybe they could add a dunk tank for Kris Humphries or a basketball toss booth for Deron Williams while they're at it.

Humphries and Kardashian reach settlement in divorce case

Kris Humphries and Kim Kardashian have reached an agreement on a divorce settlement that was finalized Friday morning.  The news that the 536 day battle over a 72 day marriage ensures that the Brooklyn Nets forward won't miss any practice or a playoff game as the team gears up for their first-round game against the Chicago Bulls.

Humphries didn’t have to fly to L.A. for the settlement meeting – which Kardashian attended – and instead was at the Nets’ practice in New Jersey.

He was hoping to take the divorce to court, which was scheduled for May 6, but realized he would’ve had to miss games in order to get his marriage annulled on the premise that it was a sham created for reality TV.

Kardashian, now expecting a baby with rapper Kanye West, wanted a regular divorce based on their prenup. In the settlement, Kim K looks like she won while Humphries caved.

Humphries immediately tweeted his joy that the whole ordeal was over — even though it means Kardashian proved there was no fraud involved in the marriage.





Humphries filed for divorce on Oct. 31, 2011 and wanted an annulment of the union citing the whole marriage was a sham and a publicity stunt to boost ratings for her TV show.

"I hope everyone understands this was not an easy decision," the buxom brunette said after filing her petition. "I had hoped this marriage was forever but sometimes things don't work out as planned."

The Nets were just as happy about the prospect of Humphries not missing games or practices following a meeting on the subject, making player's decision easier. He had skipped a previous divorce settlement meeting on April 12 to be with the Nets in Indianapolis.

"There was no way Kris would miss anything with the Nets," said a source close to the power forward. "The team means more to him than this, so this really wasn’t a tough decision for him."



Finally the news Humphries and most Nets fans have waited a long time for — and it gets that cumbersome Kardashian tag off his name and away from the team. Now if they could only divorce him from that soft label as well.

Kris Humphries was Lindsey Vonn's 'Bachelor No. 2' right before Tiger

Imagine six foot ten Brooklyn Nets forward Kris Humphries posing next to Lindsey Vonn in those corny Facebook photos announcing her romance to Tiger Woods last week.  It could have happened.

The estranged husband of Kim Kardashian was getting close to Vonn just about the same time Woods was making moves on the Olympic skiing star, reports Us Weekly.

“Woods wasn’t Vonn’s only suitor,” a confidant of Vonn’s told the magazine. “Bachelor No. 2 was none other than Kim Kardashian ex Kris Humphries.”


Too bad for Humphries he didn't have a private jet ... or a 150-foot yacht at his disposal



The source said of the NBA player and the Olympic skier, “They’re both from Minnesota, so they had a lot to talk about” but they never got physical.

Whatever their relationship status the fellow athletes do go back. In June 2012, Humphries tweeted, “Hanging with a fellow Minnesotan @lindseyvonn. Gotta get her back on lake minnetonka soon!”

Vonn replied, “I know! Def need to get back!!”

We all know how the fairy tale romance ended up with Woods claiming Vonn as his own and reclaiming his No.1 ranking in the golfing world to boot.

"He [Woods] confessed everything in his past to her and stuff, the source told the magazine. "They're really into each other."



As for Bachelor No. 2, Humphries has been lingering on the Nets' bench of late while stalling his divorce case from Kim K.

Take your parting gifts from Jim Lange and get out of here.

NBA players marvel at Barclays Center elevator

"Amazing," "kind of trippy," and "007 stuff" are just a few of the superlatives being tossed around by NBA players after they play the Brooklyn Nets in Barclays Center.

And no, they're not talking about Brook Lopez's resurgence, Kris Humphries' marriage to Kim Kardashian or owner Mikhail Prokhorov's lifestyle. They are talking about the elevator ride that takes their team bus from street level to the locker room level before games.

This Bleacher Report video shows the 27-foot descent that is more Universal Studios theme park than team bus parking lot.



The ingenious solution to cramped Brooklyn real estate and old fashioned bus ramps was devised by Forest City Ratner Companies.

Players like Kobe Bryant, Dwyane Wade, Joakim Noah and Antawn Jamison have all been awed after they experience being spun on the giant turntable.



Cost of each 81-foot long elevator: $1 million.  Cost of NBA players wowed expressions: Priceless.

Does Port Authority know about this thing?

Humphries for Gordon trade talks heat up

A league source has confirmed a report that the Nets and Bobcats have had preliminary talks about sending power forward Kris Humphries to Charlotte for guard Ben Gordon.

While the deal isn't etched in stone, a change would provide big ups for each team.

The Feb. 21 trade deadline is less than two weeks away but Humphries claims he's not distracted by all the talk.

"You don't pay attention to it," Humphries said after scoring two points and hauling in three rebounds in the Nets 89-74 loss to the Wizards. "You have to just play and make the most of the situation.  It is what it is."

Kris Humphries' stall tactics put Kim K's baby at risk, says doctor

Kris Humphries recently filed legal documents saying he doesn't understand the urgency for a quick divorce from Kim Kardashian and shouldn't have to adjust his schedule to suit her needs.  But Kardashian's doctor thinks her unborn baby may be at risk because of the stress she is suffering due to Humphries' stalling.

Kardashian called her doctor in the middle of the night to come to her house because she was having severe pains, sources told TMZ.com.  The doctor examined her, but then warned he believed the problems were largely stress-related.

According to TMZ sources, the only stress in the reality star's life right now is her divorce.  And hours before meeting Tuesday with her lawyer, Laura Wasser, Kardashian's pains returned.

Her doctor has warned her that excessive stress could have "long-term effects."



Humphries says he wants to be present at Kardashian's deposition and has a right to be there, but his busy NBA schedule doesn't free him up until mid-may or June — depending how far the Brooklyn Nets get in the playoffs.



For a marriage that lasted 72 days, it's amazing that this divorce has dragged on for over well over a year.

Isn't there a 24-week clock or something?


Kobe dunks on Nets' Humphries and Wallace at Barclays; Gets M-V-P chant

After 14 All-Star seasons, Kobe Bryant has been called just about everything while visiting an NBA opponent's building.  But one thing he is usually never called outside the comfy confines of Staples Center is, "M-V-P!."

Bryant didn't hear the chant only once during the Lakers game against the Brooklyn Nets at the Barclays Center Tuesday night — but three different times.

The Los Angeles Lakers superstar didn't let the Brooklyn fans down after this emphatic, one-handed dunk between the Nets' bookends Gerald Wallace and Kris Humphries after the "M-V-P!" serenade.

With 2:45 left to play, Bryant delighted the easily swayed Brooklyn crowd by slicing and dicing the dumbfounded duo with the right-handed jam to give his team an 82-80 lead.

Bryant later drove past Wallace for a layup with 1:42 left for an 86-83 lead and stole a Wallace pass with 45 seconds left to kill any chance for the Nets to make it a one-possession game.

"I was pretty shocked that the lane was so open. I think everybody's been drinking the Kobe-Pass Kool-Aid," said Bryant, who finished with 21 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists and 4 steals for a 92-83 win. "So everybody kind of stayed on the perimeter with the shooters.  It just parted like the Red Sea so I felt a little like Moses."

Bryant claimed the play tweaked his sore elbow, but he resisted rubbing it down while the Brooklyn crowd went crazy because he didn't want to "mess up the swagger."




Even Lakers coach Mike D'Antoni was awestruck by the fantastic dunk.

"The dunk was pretty awesome so I don't know how hurt he is," said D'Antoni.  "I'm sure he's banged up, but he gets his rhythm."



"From my perspective it's pretty cool," said Bryant about the love from the stands.  "I enjoyed it immensely."

The Barclays Center crowd seems to agree.

Female fan touches Kris Humphries, gets grossed out

Fans love to get up close and personal with sports stars but when one woman actually got to make physical contact with Kris Humphries, the Oklahoma City Thunder fan seemed to get a little grossed out by doing so.

The Brooklyn Nets forward was making his way to the locker room — after turning his ankle in the final minutes of the Nets 110-93 victory over the Thunder at Chesapeake Energy Arena — when the woman reached over the railing and patted him on his bare shoulder — getting a fist full of Humphries' sweat.

After the brief encounter, the woman twists her face into a skeeved-out look and then proceeds to wipe her hands on the shirt of the innocent male companion standing next to her.

At least Kim Kardashian knows the feeling.

Club DJs still torturing Kris Humphries with Kanye rhymes

It's bad enough that Kris Humphries has to endure the the Barclays Center boo-birds but now the Nets forward's ears are being bombarded by the rap of Kanye West every time he enters a nightclub to unwind.

Club deejays seem to enjoy torturing Humphries with the vocal stylings of his ex-wife Kim Kardashian's new paramour and it's apparently affecting his game —off the court.

Humphries' futility with the ladies was witnessed Wednesday night at the Manhattan hotspot WiP — you might remember it as the place Tony Parker almost lost an eye during the infamous Drake-Chris Brown brawl — where he went after the New York Knicks blew out the Nets at Madison Square Garden.

Humphries was chatting up some women and trying to score a few digits while an uninterrupted stream of West's music blared throughout the club, said a source.

"He was trying to talk to every girl in there and was getting turned down by every girl he spoke to," an eyewitness told the New York Daily News' Confidential.



The source said the two deejays, Chuck Barrett and Scram Jones, piled on the Kanye beats and by the time they played "Mercy" and "Clique," Humphries had had enough.

"He took a bottle of Patron that he didn't pay for, put it in front of his crotch and dumped the entire thing on the floor, because he was wasted and tired of Kanye songs," said the witness.  "Not only was he acting like he was peeing the bottle out, he insisted on staying."

The wear and tear of an NBA season must be nothing compared to the travails of a 72-day marriage to Kardashian and the drawn-out divorce they are still embroiled in but still, not worth pissing away a good bottle of tequila.



Last month, reports Confidential, Humphries tried to pick up DJ Kalkutta, after another Nets loss, while she was spinning a West tune — now that's sad.

"He emailed a couple of times," said the vinyl spinner. "But I never answered."

Sadder yet.

A season with the Kardashians, a mid-season Nets collapse and an unending loop of Kanye.  Can't this poor guy get a break.

Nets get acquainted with Barclays Center court

Jay-Z might have christened the Barclays Center with eight sold out concerts over the past two weeks but, on Sunday,  it was the arena's main tenants the Brooklyn Nets who got a chance to break in their new home.

It must have seemed appropriate to the Nets players that Beyonce helped her husband close his final show Saturday night because their new venue is definitely an upgrade.



The Nets practiced at the Barclays Center for the first time yesterday and had nothing but raves for the new state-of-the-art home building.  Some players even threw in a couple of back-handed parting shots at their last home court in Newark.

"I've never seen anything like it," said forward Kris Humphries.  "Everything is so much bigger and nicer than what we're used to."



That had to hurt the feelings of the Prudential Center — often blamed for the Nets miserable home court record over the past few seasons — which was dumped for the more luxurious 19,000-seat Barclays Center.  Players blamed their home losses on everything from the puny locker room to the temperature of the arena to the scant fans who showed up and rooted for the away teams.

There are no excuses anymore.

The upgrades include a spacious, modern locker room, a players lounge and an arena specifically built for the NBA players.

"It's not built for hockey, it's not built for soccer," said guard Deron Williams about the $1 billion structure.  "It's built for basketball.

"It's very comfortable. It's not a makeshift locker room like we had in Jersey."

It didn't matter to the players that they didn't even get to dribble the ball on the Nets new distinct herringbone pattern floor they will use during NBA games.  Instead they utilized the secondary floor that will be the playing surface for anyone but the primary tenants — the Nets.

"It's very important for us to get used to our home," said head coach Avery Johnson.  "We want to feel comfortable playing here on opening night."

Johnson's dry run for the team was a good opportunity for the players to check out the locker room and lounge, get used to the court's shooting sight lines and get familiar with commuting to the downtown Brooklyn arena — no easy feat by Escalade.  Even Jay-Z took the R-train to his final show.

Everything seemed perfect except one thing.  Johnson pointed out one small issue with the sunlight shining onto the court through an open entrance — a problem with afternoon games.  Even the black curtains draped over the opening didn't help.

"Once they figure out how to not let any light get in here, especially on afternoon games, that's one of the things we're going to have to make sure we take care of," said Johnson.  "But other than that, I think everything is pretty good."

It sure beats a shoebox-sized locker room in a home built for hockey out in Jersey.

Kim Kardashian calls Kris Humphries 'a cancer' and 'a fame-hungry jerk'

Television reality star Kim Kardashian is "emotionally exhausted" from her ongoing divorce proceedings with estranged ex-husband Kris Humphries, who has become "a cancer" that she wants to see removed from her life, according to reports.

Humphries, on the other hand, is still trying to convince a judge that their 72-day marriage was a fraud and just fodder for her reality show ratings.

Kardashian believes she still holds the the high hand and will prove that the Brooklyn Nets forward is a "manipulative, vindictive. petty, fame-hungry jerk."



According to TMZ, as their marriage was starting to crumble, Kardashian told friends Humphries "told our producers he would destroy my career and me if the show wasn't edited right."

She claims the "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" editing outtakes will prove her case.

"It's all on camera and it's going to backfire in his face," she said.

Throughout the divorce ordeal, Kim K still found time to send an Instagram picture from her Hawaiian vacation with new boyfriend Kanye West.  She's in a revealing bikini with a flower in her hair.

It's nice to know she's not "fame-hungry."

Kris Humphries tried to serve Kanye West with subpoena in Nordstrom box

Brooklyn Nets forward Kris Humphries tried to pull a fake on his nemesis Kanye West by sending a deposition subpoena inside a Nordstrom box to ex-wife Kim Kardashian's house, her lawyer said on Wednesday at their divorce proceedings.

The slick move was done by a "strange individual who showed up at Kardashian's southern California home July 16 and proceeded to loiter for "two to three hours" asking for her famous rapper boyfriend, Kardashian's divorce lawyer Laura Wasser told a judge. 



"Our process server rang the doorbell and amazingly she answered. . . He asked if (West) was present, and she said he was on the telephone," Humphries lawyer Marshall Waller told a judge.



Wasser claimed that Humphries' legal team is dragging out the divorce to "take down reality TV," claiming Kardashian has already spent $250,000 on legal fees.

The couple was married for only 72 days and are in the middle of a bitter divorce.  Apparently, Humphries doesn't know the way to Kim K's heart but knows how to get his ex to open the door— a box-and-one.

Nets players get plastered all over Brooklyn

Starting Monday, expect to see few Brooklyn Nets player's faces plastered all over their new home borough.

An ad campaign— aimed at familiarizing Brooklynites with their new NBA neighbors—will paste ads introducing Nets players Deron Williams, Joe Johnson, Brook Lopez and Gerald Wallace at strategic spots in Brooklyn to drum up interest in the team.

The Brooklyn Nets will make their New York City debut at the new Barclays Center next fall.



"We want to get them excited," said Nets chief marketing Officer Fred Mangione. "We want them to know we are here in Brooklyn and they have a great team to support."

Some fans might want to know why Kris Humphries' mug isn't on one of these posters— or maybe not.

The other four projected starters will get the Kim Kardashian star treatment in the carefully planned media blitz— the second leg of the Nets' Hello Brooklyn campaign.

The million-dollar multi-media promotion will place each player in their own ad with the headline Hello Brooklyn with a photo and a little personal info to reveal the person behind the player.

Johnson says he is a lifelong Razorback, Lopez is a "20-point scorer" and Batman's biggest fan, Williams has a couple of kids and Wallace is an off-season fisherman.  Don't you feel like you know them already.

Humphries could always mention he had a 72-day marriage to a reality show star and Jason Kidd might say he likes off-road racing— oh wait he's on the Knicks.

The black and white billboards— matching the Nets new color scheme— will start appearing Monday at the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway, near the Manhattan Bridge and major streets in Spike Lee's favorite borough.

Starting in August, the team will start putting up teaser billboards leading up to the reveal of their new top-secret logos designed by Mr. Net himself— part owner Jay-Z.

Since April, the Nets ads have concentrated on getting Brooklyn ready for the team's big move from New Jersey with tag lines like "Brooklyn Will Become a Chant" and "First Home Game Since 1957."

Here's another, "What Happened to Dwight Howard?"

Kris Humphries gets tough with Kanye West via Twitter

Kris Humphries is really feeling his oats after signing a new contract with the Brooklyn Nets this week.

After being trashed in a song by his ex-wife Kim Kardashian's new boyfriend Kanye West, the Nets forward took it upon himself to fire back at the rap star.

Kanye's song "Cold" (originally titled "Theraflu") released in April included the lyrics about the rapper's passion for Humphries' estranged wife: "And I admit I fell in love with Kim/ Around the same time she fell in love with him/ Well that's cool baby girl, do your thing/ Lucky I ain't had  Jay drop him from the team."

The song was frequently played by DJs to taunt  Humphries every time he showed up at nightclubs.

On Tuesday, Humphries— still in nasty divorce court proceedings with Kardashian— signed a two-year, $24 million contract with the Nets and didn't waste time taking a shot at his rival West.

"I'm up at Brooklyn," Humphries tweeted before throwing in a back-handed slap at Nets co-owner Jay-Z. '"Lucky I didn't have Jay drop me from the team' lol!"



Humphries is still trying to dissolve his 72-day marriage to Kardashian and the divorce preliminaries have gotten pretty ugly.

Meanwhile, Kim-Kan has been spotted at parties and clubs all over the world.

$24 million can sure give a guy money muscles.

Kris Humphries gets tossed from club by Kelly Osbourne

Kris Humphries looked "mortified" when he was thrown out of a Hollywood hotspot Wednesday night  by none other Kelly Osbourne— better known as Ozzy's daughter.

A source told The New York Post's Page Six that Osbourne was aghast when the 72-day husband of her BFF Kim Kardashian walked into Beacher's Madhouse after the ESPY's.  She summoned security who had the Brooklyn Nets' forward escorted out of the Sunset Blvd. nightspot.  Kardashian is a regular at the celebrity hangout and little Ozzy wanted to show her support for her reality show friend.

 Osbourne — who's really famous for nothing either but is the creative director of the club— wanted to show loyalty to her pal and used her clout to get Humphries tossed.



The source told Page Six: "You could see the disgust in her face.  She sent security over and they kicked him out."

It's one thing to get embarrassed by a shorts-dropping slam-dunk by Blake Griffin but to get showed up by the bratty kid of a rock legend— horrifying.

"Kris was so embarrassed and pissed," said the witness.

Sounds like she'll be famous for biting the head off a Net.  Get on the Crazy Train and come back east Kris.  We hear they want you in Charlotte.

Lopez wants to keep the Brook in Brooklyn

Brook Lopez— the center for the Brooklyn Nets and lately the middle of trade rumors surrounding talks with the Orlando Magic about bringing Dwight Howard to the Barclays Center— wants the Nets to know he's all-in on Crooklyn.

Lopez— an unabashed Disney fan— would probably love to live in Disney World but even the close proximity of the AmWay Center to the Magic Kingdom does not make Orlando a place Lopez wants to play.

"He really wants to see it through with the Nets  and go to Brooklyn," said Chris Lopez— Brook's brother and advisor told The New York Post.  "We're back in California and he understands the situation, but he wants to remain consistent He wants to be a Brooklyn Net.  He hasn't played anywhere else and he likes the organization.  He wants to be a part of it now that they're going to be good."



It sounds like the Nets are also wishing upon a star and it just happens to be Howard— the most sought after free agent available.  The Nets reportedly said they are willing to give up Lopez, forward Kris Humphries, guard MarShon Brooks along with three first-round draft picks in order to land Howard.  If  the Nets throw in Sleepy, they've probably got a deal.

Hi ho, hi ho, it's off to Orlando we go.

 Lopez would have to agree to a sign-and-trade and Chris Lopez has doubts that his brother would be willing to make that move but said,  "Honestly, I couldn't answer that, it's Brook's call."

Lopez, the 10th pick in the 2008 draft, missed almost all of the 2011's abbreviated season because of a broken foot and and ankle injury right after he returned to the lineup. He has averaged 17.4 points and 7.6 rebounds in his first three NBA seasons.

"Brook and his rehab are doing fine," said Chris Lopez.  "He has been working really hard toward seeing it through to Brooklyn.  He is willing to do anything to make it happen.

"But we haven't heard anything other than what we've read and seen [on TV]."

Now— with the signing of point guard Deron Williams— the Nets are looking to add Howard and complete their own version of the Big Three.

Suddenly Brook Lopez, you are not the fairest of them all.

Nets still in hunt for Dwight Howard

The Brooklyn Nets and the Orlando Magic are in discussions for a blockbuster trade which would send Dwight Howard to the Nets in exchange for Brook Lopez, Kris Humphries, Marshon Brooks and three future draft picks.

The report by ESPN, quoting unnamed sources, says the Nets would give up first round picks in 2013, 2015 and 2017 to land Howard— the five-time All-Star— and maybe, more importantly, help entice Deron Williams to re-sign with Brooklyn.

Howard has told Orlando management that he wants to be traded to the Nets and only the Nets.  Williams sounds like he has narrowed his picks to the Nets and the Dallas Mavericks.



The Nets traded for Atlanta's Joe Johnson on Monday and— if the pieces fall in place— make a trade for Howard and re-sign Williams, Brooklyn will have their own formidable Big Three.

Lopez and Humphries are free agents, so they would have to consent to a sign-and-trade.  The ironic thing is that Lopez— who is a restricted free agent— is a huge Disney and Disney World fan and would be more that happy to play near the Magic Kingdom.

Humphries— the most most dominant front-line player on the Nets for the past two seasons already lives in Florida during the offseason.

If the Nets do sign Howard and re-sign Williams, it would give the Nets Big Three a combined 2012 salary of $58.8 million.  The NBA salary cap was $58 million last season.

1-in-5 women would cheat with Tim Tebow says poll

If Tim Tebow has a hard time getting playing time with the New York Jets this season, he won't have any problem seeing some action off the field— even if he has to pull a quarterback sneak.

AshleyMadison.com— the infidelity matchmaking site— polled 13,500 women and asked them which athletes would make them stray from their husbands and 1-in-5 listed the virginal football player.

Since the ultra-religious Tebow is saving his cherry for marriage, that makes the odds of playing the field with the quarterback in Biblical sense at about one-in-one million.



The salacious website— which once offered $1 million to prove Tebow was really not a virgin— said Tebow got 19.6% of the votes but was still far behind the most desired fling— David Beckham.  The British soccer star could reportedly get it on with 43.1% of the philandering ladies.

Tebow may be happy to know he did beat out his Jets counterpart Mark Sanchez and New England rival Tom Brady.  Giants Super Bowl MVP— and late night comedy show host— Eli Manning got 8.5% of the wives hot and bothered.

Other big name boy toys the ladies would take to the Notell Motel include the newly-single Derek Jeter (16.5%), Alex Rodriguez (13.2%) and that old horndog himself, Tiger Woods, who came in at 15th place with 6.1%.

Even being married to a Kardashian did nothing to keep the ladies from lusting after the sullied  Kris Humphries.  The Brooklyn Nets forward still got 3.3% of the votes— fifth among all NBA players.
