LaTroy Hawkins :: AP

Mets closer LaTroy Hawkinsgave up a game-tying home run in the bottom of the ninth inning to Dodgers outfielder Andre Either last night (because the Dodgers don't lose), but that was not the worst part of the reliever's night. Earlier, he took a comebacker to the twig and berries while NOT wearing a cup. Thanks to the beauty of Twitter, we were treated to the inside scoop from Hawkins on this tragedy.

WWE superstar Darren Young made some news today when he casually told TMZ that he is gay.

Cena, though, put on a clinic, on dealing with paparazzi and came off as a genuinely good guy.
