Former No. 1 blond Russian got a big fat diamond engagement ring from her basketball-playing boyfriend. Am I timely or what? So, Sasha Vujacic and Maria Sharapova are engaged. He proposed on the one-year anniversary of his first laying eyes on her at a friend's cookout. (Altogether now, Awwwww!) I suspect the 6-foot-7 Slovenian was probably thrilled to meet a woman who could actually look him in the eye without straining.
Sharapova's agent confirmed the news by email, while Vujacic addressed the rumor before his game Thursday night (he plays for the Los Angeles Lakers). "We are engaged and are both really happy," Vujacic told reporters. "It's good and now we can focus on other things." What "other things" is he talking about? Like, some future professional athletes? But there are more important questions to be answered. Like, who's going to sponsor the wedding? Does Cole Haan make wedding shoes? Will Nike design her wedding dress, and will there be a day and night version? And will the big day all be shot using a Canon PowerShot? These kids have a lot of planning to do.
In other blond Russian romance news, all's well between Anna Kournikova and her boyfriend, Enrique Iglesias. Sorry to any guys out there who were hopeful that the break-up rumors were true. Iglesias' people told Page Six that the split talk probably developed because of his being away on tour. Isn't that always how rumors get started?
