PIC: Tim Tebow “Tebows” with Maria Menounous, “his first”
I don’t do sports. I don’t watch them, I don’t follow them, I don’t care. At all. But I might care about Tim Tebow, and believe it or not, I’ve googled him a couple times. I just think the guys is super hot talented, that’s all. Here’s an interesting story, via HuffPo:
The NFL stud who seemed to receive the most attention this Super Bowl weekend wasn’t even playing in the game. The guy who was at the center of every media mob was none other than Tim Tebow.
Waiting on the red carpet at the ESPN magazine event Friday night, you would have thought Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt arrived when Tebow walked through the metal detector and set off a shutterbug frenzy.
Deciding not to do any interviews, but rather just pose for photographers and video crews, Tebow had no idea that the real fan mob would descend once he stepped foot inside the party.
No one was more aggressive when it came to getting the young football star’s attention than “Extra” TV host Maria Menounos. The Tebow enthusiast talked with the player for more than two hours before convincing him to “Tebow” with her.
“I was his first,” Menounos told me the following day. “He told me at the party he had never ‘Tebowed’ with anyone else before, ever.”
From what I’ve read, Katy Perry is all over trying to hook up with Tebow, but Tebow has his sights on Maria Menounos. Katy is trying to catch his eye so badly, she dedicated a song to him over the weekend. Via CNN:
Tim Tebow wasn’t playing in Sunday’s Super Bowl, but you might’ve thought he was by the way Katy Perry kept dropping his name.
The pop star was on hand in Indianapolis, Indiana to play her first U.S. performance since splitting from Russell Brand in December, and E! reports that she also handed out an award at the NFL Honors ceremony on Saturday.
Tebow, who happened to be sitting in the front row of the audience, was called out by Perry, who may have heard the gossip that her parents are trying to set her up with the quarterback. “Hey Tim,” Perry said while handing off the first honor of the night, “my parents say ‘Hi.’”
Tebow seemed to still be on her mind at a pre-Super Bowl event held Saturday night.
According to People magazine, the singer was putting on a nine-song show, and when she got to “Peacock” – you know, the one that starts with the line, “I wanna see your peacock” – Perry told the audience, “This one goes out to Tim Tebow.”
The 27-year-old made no mention of her estranged husband, and was said to be in good spirits, according to People. “She was having the best time, and was in such a great mood,” an anonymous onlooker spilled.
