Originally posted 04/09/2012 02:45PM
It was only their first date, Bubba Watson said, when the topic of children came up.
"Angie told me we would have to adopt because she can’t have kids," says Watson, 33, the new champion of the Masters.
They would start a life together, the pro golfer and his bride, a former pro basketball player in Europe, who married in 2004. Then they began the emotional odyssey to adopt a child.
"Four years ago we started that process," says Watson. "We got turned down a couple of times."

Four-time Winter X Games winner Sarah Burke is in a coma after an accident during a training run on the superpipe in Park City, Utah.
The ski pro, 29, was taken by members of the resort's mountain patrol and airlifted to a Salt Lake City hospital, according to Peter Judge, the CEO of the Canadian freestyle team.
"She landed a trick down in the bottom end of the pipe and kind of bounced from her feet to her head," Judge tells Toronto's Globe and Mail newspaper. "It wasn't anything that looked like a catastrophic fall, so I'm a bit mystified."

Originally posted 11/28/2011 06:00AM
Cory Monteith was named the grand marshal of Vancouver's Grey Cup parade, and the Glee star sure dressed the part. Sporting a BC Lions jersey, with his name printed on the back, the actor waved to the crowd from the back of a large gray pick-up truck and even snapped his own video of the crowd, which he later posted on Twitter. Before the parade got moving, Monteith signed little footballs and posed for pictures with fans. He also posed with the actual Grey Cup, the trophy awarded to the winning team in the Canadian Football League championship game. And as Monteith was driven down the parade route, fans would run up and snap pictures. Says an onlooker: "He seemed to love the attention." – Christine Kilpatrick

James Blake on John Mayer: No High School Lothario

Before he had game, John Mayer was a big gamer.
For three years in elementary and junior high school in Fairfield, Conn., the Grammy winner spent almost every afternoon playing Nintendo with his childhood pal, tennis star and Olympian James Blake.
"Just about every day he was at my house, and we'd play Nintendo games, like Joe Montana football, all the time," says Blake, who was in fifth grade when the two became best buds.
"John was pretty good, but I played a bit more than he did," Blake told PEOPLE at Heineken's Share the Good event in New York City on Friday, where he accepted a $10,000 check for the Thomas Blake Sr. Memorial Cancer Research Fund, his charity honoring his late father.
