Alyssa Milano Does Not Like You Questioning Her Lovelife

I've already had my share of fun with Alyssa Milano, giving fair warning to Dodgers catcher Russell Martin that he was up next in the lengthy line of baseball-playing-boyfriends (rumored to be Brad Penny, Carl Pavano, and Barry Zito) for the brunette. Not only has she called out the "lazy bloggers" who pick on her as an easy target (all you bloggers out there should be ashamed of yourselves!), but she also wants to put an end to what she feels is a double-standard amongst athletes dating celebrities:
First of all, if I were actually attached to every pitcher the press has attached me to, I would be in a hospital or mental ward somewhere -- in a straightjacket (that I would of course desperately try to make stylish).

Secondly, even if all the rumors about my MLB love life were true (which they're not) –- we should really examine the double standard that is in full effect here. I know for a fact, that there are many MLB players (plural) or athletes in general for that matter who have dated many Screen Actors Guild members. I won't name names (cough Derek Jeter cough). And yet, these guys are considered cool and we give them props for getting their high profile starlets. On the other hand, women who have dated more than one guy in any profession are easy targets for ridicule. I am speaking personally of course, but I am sure any woman that reads this entry can relate to this double standard and how it may pertain to their lives relative to their own experience.

And I ask you this -– what girl in her right mind wouldn't want to date a ball player
Well, I can't answer that last (rhetorical) question of yours Alyssa, but you're a figure in the public eye, and your personal life will always be the subject of public discussion as long as you remain in the spotlight, and especially when you put your thoughts out there on a blog. And interesting you chose to pick on Derek Jeter, what'd he turn you down for a date?
