It looks like Reggie Bush has a type; even if former-girlfriend Kim Kardashian and her lawyer may be the only ones who think so.
According to the New York Daily News, Bush, who split with Kardashian last year, is rumored to be dating Melissa Molinaro, an actress who is at the center of a lawsuit filed against Old Navy by Kim K.
The suit claims Molinaro looks too much like the reality TV star in the clothing store's ad campaign. Bush's new squeeze is accused by Kardashian's attorney of mimicking Kim K in the television ads which ran last winter.
Even if most people didn't see the immediate resemblance, Bush--the former USC and current NFL player-- must have. Molinaro is said to be dating Kardashian's ex.
Kardashian, who claims her sultry looks are a famous brand, filed suit yesterday against the clothing giant Old Navy who used the buxom Molinaro in the advertisements last February.
Yesterday, Gary Hecker, an attorney for Kardashian, filed suit in a U.S. District court against Old Navy for compensatory and punitive damages for "unauthorized use of Kardashian's name, identity and likeness."
"We're seeking damages according to proof," said Hecker. "Kim Kardashian is immediately recognizable and known for her look and style. Her identity and persona are valuable. When her intellectual property rights are violated, she intends to enforce them."
The sexy actress said the comparisons to Kim K started after the ad first aired. In the spots she is seen dancing and lip-synching. The ad has attracted more than 2 million views on YouTube.
For those wondering why Kardashian waited so long to file the suit over the clone and if it is some sort of jab at her ex, the newly-engaged Kim K said," I worked hard to support the products I'm personally involved with and that I believe in." She just recently signed a deal with Sears.
If you think all curvy, full-bottomed, pouting brunettes look like Kim Kardashian, she might have a case. Apparently Reggie Bush likes the look.
Old Navy has not commented.

Jenn Sterger Will Be Bowling For Dollars On Spike TV
Former New York Jets game-day/sideline reporter/hostess, Jenn Sterger, is close to getting another television gig once again. According to the New York Post, Sterger recently filmed a pilot for Spike TV called "Spike's Spare Time," a show where Sterger will interview celebrities while bowling.
Hopefully, the only balls that she will see now weigh 14 pounds and have three holes in them.
Stergen is hoping to put the whole Brett Favre texting mess behind her and get on with her career after a short stint hosting a show on Versus.
She told the Post, "It's [bowling] probably the one sport I'm pretty awesome at."
"I've bowled since I was six," said Sterger. "I was in all of the youth leagues and a bunch of traveling leagues in Florida." She claims her average was 189, with an all-time high game of 289.
Sterger also said life has been easier and work is now more attainable since the story of the Favre drama broke last year.
Favre, the former Jets quarterback, was accused of texting photos of his private parts to the sexy brunette. It was followed by a controversial interview questioning her accountability on ABC television.
"I'm in such a better place," she said. She hopes her new show puts those rumors to rest that ABC got the interview in exchange for finding her a job. Sterger claims the allegations were all false.
"Do you see me having a show at ABC?" she asked. "Nope, not at all."

Hope Solo and Abby Wambach Do Stupid Soccer Tricks on Letterman Show
Hope Solo and Abby Wambach, two members of the silver medalist US Women's World Cup soccer team, appeared on The Late Show with David Letterman and took shots at four moving taxi cabs outside the Ed Sullivan Theatre in New York City yesterday. Solo, a goaltender, finally put a ball right through the sliding door; while Wambach's kicks sailed wide or bounced off the taxis.
Maybe the US goalie should have taken one of the penalty kicks during the championship game loss to Japan on Sunday?
The losing American team is still getting a rousing welcome home after being upset by Japan. They were greeted at the airport by fans when they arrived back in the United States and Letterman was one of the first stops for the two stars of the team. You would have thought they won the whole enchilada.
Solo and Wambach, seated on a couch next to Letterman's desk, looked nervous and demure--a stark contrast to their individual on-field persona.
Letterman opened the interview with the obvious. "Tough loss," the gap-toothed host said. Both players shook their heads before he lobbed this bon mot," It looked like you were all over those people, the Japanese."
Solo said she received a "good luck" email right before the game from a friend--and one of the opposing Japanese players-- and responded by emailing back; "Whatever happens, happens." Letterman then joked, " You should have said 'Would it have killed you to lay down.'"
Letterman finally admitted," I know nothing about the game," but never asked the question everyone wanted to know: Do you think you choked?
Solo did answer that question in an interview on ESPN. It sounded like an apologetic "No." Then she added, "Only if you truly don't know the game."
While the US team licks their wounded egos, the same darlings of the media are still getting the star treatment for coming in second.
This week's cover of Sports Illustrated will feature a photo of Solo with the headline; "HEART AND HEARTACHE- Japan Shocks the US..."
Shouldn't Japan's veteran leader, Homare Sawa, be gracing the SI cover for winning the World Cup?
Amazingly, the US women's team gets the winner's treatment. I didn't see a photo of LeBron James on the cover of SI for being upset by the Dallas Mavericks or the brooding faces of the men's 2004 Olympic basketball team who came home with bronze.
The US appearance in the World Cup may have drawn more fans to the sport of women's soccer, but give the winner's their due.
Japan's upset could cost the most recognizable faces of the US team-- Solo and Wambach-- millions of dollars in endorsements said Bob Dorfman.
Dorfman, who rates endorsement potential of athletes as Creative Director of Baker Street Advertising in San Francisco, thinks the deals could dry up fast.
"I heard there were some marketers who were planning on using them-- but decided not to because of the loss," said Dorfman. "Everyone likes a winner."
Rumors that GoDaddy.com had it's sights on goalie Solo joining Danica Patrick in their racy ads, but after the loss they backed off.
GoDaddy.com spokesman Nick Fuller said," At this point in time, GoDaddy.com is not pursuing a sponsorship deal with Hope Solo."
Getting attention and attracting new fans to the sport are still viable assets for the two break-out female stars claims Dorfman.
They can still work in the "glamor" areas like Patrick and Maria Sharapova do, he said.
While it lasts, Solo and the rest of the team should enjoy all the adulation the USA can throw at them; for if they played for North Korea, chances are, they would probably be serving some sort of penance on a work farm.

Yankees Taunt Rays' Mascot During Lightning Delay; Then Win
Last night, while the New York Yankees and Tampa Bay Rays game was delayed due to a lightning strike which knocked out a bank of lights in Tropicana Field, the Yankees dugout had fun playing keep away with the Rays mascot, Raymond.
Right after a bolt of lightning zapped the domed stadium, with Robinson Cano holding a full-count at the plate, Yankees manager Joe Girardi told officials he wouldn't continue play until the field was fully illuminated. That's when Raymond went to the Yankees side to play catch.
The Yankees own unofficial mascot, Bartolo Colon, led the heckling during the 18 minute delay before his team eventually went on to defeat the home team 5-4 after the Rays walked in the winning run.
Colon, the cuddly 260-pound pitcher, wouldn't play catch with Raymond during the fifth-inning delay until finally giving in to the fuzzy mascot.
Raymond, who has been punched out by a Baltimore Oriole player, tackled by a fan and out danced by a Cardinal mascot tossed the ball back to Yankees centerfielder Curtis Granderson, who also refused to give it back. Raymond just left in a huff. His team should have followed.
The Rays pounced on A.J. Burnett--pitching on eight days rest-- early and scored three runs in the first inning. Burnett looked like his old inconsistent self. The Rays held a 4-2 lead until the Yankees tied it up in the eighth.
Rays starter Alex Cobb held the Yankees to three hits and two runs through six but the depleted Rays team was coming off a 16-inning loss to the Red Sox late last night and it seemed only a matter of time before the Yankees could shred through the taxed Tampa Bay bullpen.
In the top of the ninth Rays manager Joe Maddon went to his only remaining reliever, rookie Alex Torres--who was called up earlier in the day. Torres immediately gave up a lead off single to Granderson who stole second. Mark Teixeira struck out then a grounder by Robinson Cano moved Granderson to third.
Next, Maddon had Torres intentionally walk Nick Swisher before walking Andruw Jones to load the bases. A 3-2 ball to Russell Martin walked in the go-ahead run.
Hector Noesi and Mariano Rivera pitched 3 2/3 innings of scoreless relief to keep Burnett from getting a loss.
Later Girardi commented about the power outage and his discussion with the umpires. " They asked me if we wanted to continue to play through it or not," said the skipper. "I said, 'No, I don't.' It was a big time in the game, and I want all the lights all on in that situation."
Torres wasn't exactly lights out in his first major league outing and it looks like he took the lightning express back to the minors.

Tweet Victory For US Women's Soccer Team On Sunday
The US Women's soccer team may have lost to Japan in Sunday's Women's World Cup Championship match up but, after being upset, they were a part of a record for the number of tweets sent after the game. The story-book ending for Japan was tweeted about more than any other event in history.
The wild finish to Japan's penalty kick victory over the Americans in the championship game help set the record of a staggering 7,196 TPS-- that's tweets per second-- according to Twitter.
To put it into perspective, Osama Bin Laden's death topped out at 5,100 TPS.
The previous record of 6,939 TPS was set just after midnight on New Year's Day 2011 in Japan. Coincidentally, after the March 11, 2011 earthquake and tsunami in Japan, Twitter reported 5,530 twitters per second. Japan used the disaster as inspiration during their unbelievable title run.
For all the geeks keeping score, here's how the Women's World Cup TPS record stacks up against the men's. Last year's men's World Cup opener between host country South Africa and Japan -- I'm seeing a trend-- boasted only 3,282 TPS at it's peak.
Other notable big-tweet days include the Green Bay Packers victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers in Super Bowl XLV which hit the 4,096 TPS mark and the Royal Wedding with William and Kate which scored a commoner-like 3,966 tweets per second.
The US/Japan record was almost topped on the same day after the Copa America quarterfinal match up between Paraguay and Brazil came in at 7,166 TPS.
Before the Women's World Cup Final, even President Obama tweeted the US squad to wish them well: "I'm thinking: Score a goal, be a leader, let's get this done."
The President may the only person in the world who still uses proper English in his tweets.
According to Twitter, it handles over 200 million tweets a day and has over 200 million registered accounts. Some claim that total is more like 300 million.
One trend I'm noticing about tweeters is they tend to be Japanese and are partial to soccer.
No matter how annoying tweeters pecking away are, they still aren't as bad as vuvuzelas.
