Link Bank 12-15-11: Zooey Deschanel, Tebow Virginity, Maria Menounos, Megan Dills

The joyous Hoosiers celebration this past Saturday was not joyous for everybody. Especially one Playboy model who happens to be a Kentucky Wildcats fan. The “court-storming” at the end of the game led to…from Vaught’s Views.

-She describes herself as a “die-hard Kentucky fan” and says not much can intimidate her. However, Megan Dills admits she did feel a bit overwhelmed at Indiana’s Assembly Hall Saturday when the Hoosiers beat UK 73-72 and she was knocked down when the crowd rushed the floor after the game.

“I was not intimidated at all until the end,” said Dills, 28. “I have a friend who is an Indiana alum and that’s how I got the ticket. I was not going to miss out on the ticket even though it was just going to be me sitting with all those IU fans.”

She had a swollen ankle she could barely walk on and a doctor confirmed Monday that she not only had a sprained ankle, but also some torn tendons. The injury has forced her to cancel a Playboy photo shoot this Saturday in Indiana.


What’s really funny is that she made her modeling debut for Playboy in 2007 with the “Girls of the SEC” issue, despite the fact she attended a small school in Kentucky most people have never heard of instead of the University of Kentucky itself.

-Since we’re talking about girls of the SEC. You remember Taylor Corley right? The former Mississippi State cheerleader who left school to pursue her Playboy modeling/reality television “career?” Here’s more pics of her in case you don’t. Well, she left behind some really hot friends on that squad when she gave up her cheer scholarship. And one day those MSU cheerleaders broke out the Slip n Slide and well…..(College Cheer Heaven)

-Minka Kelly at the airport in Washington, D.C., with absolutely no makeup on. Why isn’t she wearing makeup? (F-Listed)

-The recently divorced from the lead singer of Death Cab for Cutie and new it girl Zooey Deschanel has a new tv show. I haven’t seen it, but I laughed at one of the promos, where she does some “JAZZ HANDS” and says “toughhhhh crowwwwwwd.” Here’s more about her show (L.A. Times)

-From Guyism:

Greek Goddess Maria Menounos participated in WWE’s, Tribute to the Troops, on Tuesday night in an 8-way tag team match that included Menounos, Alicia Fox, Eve Torres, Kelly Kelly against, The Bella Twins (Nikki & Brie) and The Divas of Doom (Natalya & Beth Phoenix). Not surprisingly, Menounos was the star of the show pinning her arch-nemesis, the Glamazon, Beth Phoenix.
