Boozing butta beauty Fergie was said to be super-pissed when she saw an autographed pink tennis ball that her live-in boyfriend, Josh Duhamel, got from Russian tennis star Maria Sharapova. Josh was blabbing about how great it was to meet Sharapova at the ESPYs and said he wanted to get a display case for the pink ball.

Fergie was so steamed she threw the thing out the door.

When “Las Vegas” hunk Josh Duhamel proudly showed live-in love Fergie an autographed girly pink tennis ball he’d been gifted by sexpot Russian champ Maria Sharapova his Pop Princess went postal! As Jush gushed on… and on… and on about meeting leggy blonde Sharapova at the ESPY Awards, he idly tossed his prize in the air and mused: “You know what? I think I’ll get a special box for it!” Fuming Fergie… exploded and snarled: “I’ve got a better idea!” Snatching LoverBoy’s ball in midair, she ran to the oyer of their LA home, yanked open the front door – and flung his pretty pink playthink as hard as she could.

I could see this being true. (I’m not saying it is, because I take everything in the Enquirer with a grain of salt. They do have some exclusives that turn out to be true, but crap little stories like this you can’t ever really verify.)

How would you feel if your boyfriend/husband/significant other went on amd on about meeting someone? I know Sharapova’s a famous athlete so if my husband was elated to meet her I wouldn’t be that threatened, but Duhamel is a minor celebrity and he could easily land her. That’s got to piss off the Ferg. Everyone wonders why Duhamel has stayed with her this long, at least, you know, bitter bloggers like me who have nothing better to do but sit behind our computers and talk shit about people.

Back in February, Josh and Fergie said they keep their relationship hot by taking romantic vacations together, staying out of the spotlight, and singing karaoke. at home. Yes, karaoke. Fergie praised Josh’s version of Total Eclipse of the Heart. Maybe it is love.

Here’s Fergie after getting her hair done recently. She looks a lot better with giant bug glasses on.

The source for this quote is some Russian magazine, so maybe they made it up, or maybe Maroon 5 singer Adam Levine couldn’t keep up with the locals in vodka consumption and got a loose tongue, but he supposedly dissed tennis great Maria Sharapova’s performance in the bedroom. This guy should be lucky he ever banged Sharapova, and I hope that if he really said this his loose lips will spoil his changes of getting with famous women in the future. He’s probably not short of groupies in a pinch, and doesn’t care:

The singer – who dated Sharapova briefly – told a Russian publication that he was less than impressed with her playing technique.

“She wouldn’t make any noise during sex,” Levine said. “I can’t tell you how disappointed I was. I really thought, like a lot of guys, that she’d be the loud screaming type.

”But instead, she just lay there like a dead frog. She even got angry if I started to moan, said it ‘ruined her concentration.’

”It was so disillusioning that I went on Paxil for a month afterwards.

”Really, it was much more of a shock than when I found out there’s no such thing as the Easter Bunny.”

The Paxil and Easter Bunny bit at the end means that he is either is making a joke or that this originated on one of those parody sites and someone picked it up as real news. If someone made this up they did a good job at being convincing by picking two people that aren’t gossiped about much.

Maria Sharapova makes more noise on the tennis court than any other female tennis great in grunt-measuring history. While hitting the ball she grunts at up to 101.2 decibels, which is almost as loud as a police siren. I find it hard to believe that if she is enjoying sex she doesn’t make a lot of noise.

This is the guy who broke up with Jessica Simpson by text message, so he seems like one of those douches who can dish out rejection but can’t handle it. If he did say this I would bet it’s because Sharapova broke his widdle heart. Maybe he couldn’t perform in the bedroom and he’s overcompensating by saying she’s a wet blanket. Usually when women don’t make a lot of noise or move around it means the guy is doing something wrong. There are also cases where the woman isn’t into it and still goes through with it. I’ve been in that missionary position back in my single days. You just kind of stare at the ceiling hoping they’ll get it over with. Adam, she just wasn’t into you, or your ears would have been ringing.

Update: Levine did not say this. This is indeed a parody from a Russian magazine. Thanks to Fabiola Thing for the tip.

This isn’t our standard fare, but we have a blogger friend who posts mainly nip slips and he claims it’s the way to go. We found these high res pictures of Sharapova’s butt and thought we’d give it a try. Apologies to our female gossip lovers.

Fourth seed Sharapova nearly suffered an ankle injury while playing in Australia at Roland Gallos. She also complained that the organizers moved the event from Monday to Sunday, saying the early start jeopardized her ability to prepare for Wimbeldon. Her ankle turned out to be fine and she won her match in two sets yesterday against a Czech player, Iveta Benesova.

Here are HQs of Maria Sharapova’s butt in very tight tennis shorts. You can see everything if you squint.
