The tennis ace
was brimming with happiness Wednesday when he
told me, "I love being married to
Bridgette." He was talking, of course,
about his bride, Bridgette Wilson. The two
were hitched Sept. 30, in a small ceremony in
Los Angeles, one day after I broke the story
here.
Wilson, who co-stars in Darren Star's new
TV series, "The Street," said she
was not amused that I had included a few
paragraphs in that item about her husband's
romantic past.
"Did you have to mention all his
ex-girlfriends?" she asked.
Sampras, for his part, didn't look as if
he wanted to hold a grudge and said he
planned to spend more time in New York,
despite the fact that couple now lives in Los
Angeles.
"I'm not planning on playing much
[competitive] tennis for awhile," he
said, "so I'm free to be here with
Bridgette," whose show shoots in New
York City."This may wind up being the
most time I've been in New York for any one
time that didn't include the U.S. Open."

PETE - Sighting!
Nothing
like a New York-New York World Series to
bring out celebrities. Among the
A-listers at the first game: Matthew
Broderick and Sarah Jessica Parker, Sean
"Puff Daddy" Combs and Jennifer
Lopez, Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell, Ron
Howard, Billy Crystal, Jack Nicholson and
Spike Lee. Tennis star Pete
Sampras was there, rooting for the Mets,
with his new wife, actress Brigette
Wilson. Billy Joel left after
singing the national anthem. The Fox-TV
cameras also found Calista Flockhart,
whose Ally McBeal show happens to be the
hit of the network. Source:St. Petersburg Times -
