Mark Valley

Mark Valley who plays her love interest on the Fox show OK, "love interest" may be simplifying things just a wee bit Mark plays her ex-lover John Scott, who turned out to be evil and died, but then came back to the series through hallucinations Though Torv's rep declined to provide further details, sources on the show tell us the small, private ceremony took place over the holidays.

The pair has been quietly dating for several months—so quietly that many of their fellow castmates and crew members weren't aware they were together Neither did the press. On Thursday, Valley took part in a conference call with reporters, and talked about his new bride (without referencing her as such). "I think [Anna] is just a fantastic actor and I really like working with her," he said. "She's my favorite on the show, to be honest with you."

The 133-pound Clemmer, ranked sixth at 133 pounds, also opened with a pin against Luther before getting pinned just before the final buzzer by Coe’s No. 7 Brandon Ball. But Clemmer bounced back big against Wartburg, rallying for a 9-7 decision over No. 2 ranked Matt Kelly We're told the ceremony took place within days of Mark's 45th birthday. Anna is 30.

Brad Wilkerson

Brad Wilkerson to a minor league deal with roster and playing time incentives. Last year, he split time with Toronto and Seattle by hitting a combined .220/.308/.326 in 309 plate appearances and fighting nagging shoulder and back injuries Wilkerson prior to the 2008 off season as a 4th OF type before he went to Seattle and maybe they see something regarding his swing that they can fix.. Dunno.

Although he may only be 6th or 7th on the outfield depth chart, Wilkerson provides solid depth if his shoulder is healthy. He's always been a solid player when he's been on the field. He's only a year removed from hitting 20 home runs, gets on base at a decent clip, and possesses the rare ability of being a left handed hitter who hits lefties better than righties.

He plays both corner positions above average as well as first base, which may be best suited for him because of his shoulder. With the fragility of Lowell, Drew, and Baldelli, it's a solid pick-up in case of the inevitable injury. He'll begin the year in Pawtucket where his shoulder will be closely monitored.

Kobe Bryant

Kobe Bryant broke the current Madison Square Garden record with 61 points, and the Los Angeles Lakers looked plenty potent without Andrew Bynum in a 126-117 victory over the New York Knicks on Monday night Bryant dropped 61 on the Knicks as the Lakers got the victory 126 - 117. Kobe was 19-31 and 20-20 from the freethrow line, video highlights should be on the way.

Pau Gasol added 31 points and 14 rebounds in the Lakers' first game since losing Bynum, their starting center, for eight to 12 weeks with a torn medial collateral ligament in his right knee. They'll be fine without him if Bryant plays the way he did Monday, going 19-of-31 with an array of tough jumpers, powerful drives to the basket and perfect foul shooting. He also hit all 20 free throws.

Bryant teased and pleased a sold-out crowd that took turns booing him and saluting him with "MVP!" chants during an electrifying performance. He passed Michael Jordan's opponent record of 55 points at the present building, known as "Garden IV," when he hit three free throws with 3:56 remaining, then bettered Bernard King's mark of 60, set on Christmas Day 1984, with two more foul shots with 2:33 to play.
