Judging from the photo, it’s a legitimate question. Porn star/California gubernatiorial candidate/star of “Celebrity Rehab” Mary Carey is seen here in the prom pose with Arizona Diamondbacks’ outfielder Alex Romero. It’s not the normal “hey you’re semi-famous. Can I take a picture standing next to you?” pose.

If there’s nothing going on, oh well. Stuff like this is a by-product of the paparazzi culture in America today, right?

Carey’s Wikipedia page indicates that she is currently dating “Evil” Jared Hasselhoff, a band member of the Bloodhound Gang. Well, at least Alex’s future is ahead of him.

By the way, that’s D-Backs pitcher Yusmeiro Petit, with Megan Hauserman, a Playboy model who has appeared as a contestant on “Beauty and the Geek” and season two of “Rock of Love”, and is currently appearing on the VH1 trainwreck show “I Love Money”.

I think you can sum up what Romero and Petit’s strategy should be in this situation using baseball terms. Hit and run boys…hit and run.
