Guess we now know what he meant when he said that "coupling is a tricky thing!"

There's been all sorts of speculation since John Mayer and Katy Perry split regarding what exactly tore these two apart, with some rumors circulating that the singer's ex-husband, Russell Brand, somehow came between them, or even that the notorious womanizer was simply using her to promote recently-announced tour!

But according to sources extremely close to the pair, it was nothing but their respectively busy schedules that led to the demise of their love!

Eden Hazard, a professional soccer player for Chelsea, was playing in a game versus Swansea City in a League Cup semi-final match.

He was red carded and removed from the game after he kicked a ball boy!

The ball boy was apparently holding onto the ball in a bid to run down the clock for Swansea.

Brent Musburger is a sportscaster for ESPN and ABC.

While covering the 2013 BCS National Championship Game on TV, the cameraman cut to a shot of Katherine Webb.

Katherine is a model and beauty queen, Miss Alabama 2012 and dating Alabama's quarterback A.J. McCarron, who was playing in the game.

When she appeared on the screen, Musburger couldn't help but mention she was A.J.'s girlfriend, called her "beautiful" and a "lovely lady."

It was playful and complimentary. Is it inappropriate to call a professional beauty queen beautiful??

There was some backlash and ESPN quickly apologized for Musburger's comments, but Katherine herself didn't think an apology was necessary and was actually flattered!

Check out Katherine on the TODAY Show, explaining how she feels ESPN may have overreacted AFTER THE JUMP!!

Major League Baseball has some of the most intensive drug testing in the world of professional sports.

And it's about to get even more intense.

Starting in 2013, the MLB is going to test each player by drawing all of their blood and holding it overnight. If they die, they're juicing up.

What they're actually doing is starting in-season testing for human growth hormone (HGH).

TEARS!

These rumors that Britney Spears and Jason Trawick are heading closer and closer to Splitsville are gaining more and more traction, and making us positively DEVASTATED in its wake!

Reports that surfaced yesterday indicated that the pop star's agent-turned-fiance has apparently told her family, friends, and management team that he plans on officially calling off their engagement after the X Factor finale this week while the couple vacation for the holidays together, but now, we're hearing that while the break-up isn't CERTAIN…this last trip is definitely make-it-or-break-it for them!

Of course, the matters of the heart are only COMPLICATED by the fact they've essentially intermingled their professional lives into one, and are struggling to figure out how to potentially reconcile that if they go their separate ways!
