Kidding! Just jokes people -- but on his way out of The Grove shopping center in Los Angeles, baseball's 45 million dollar man was talkin' money with us ... we think.

Most of the conversation was in Spanish, and the only thing our guy could muster up was something about the "baño."

Talan Snags a Pussycat

The Pussycat Doll's front kitty, Nicole Scherzinger, and Talan Torriero of MTV's "Laguna Beach," set heads turning at The Grove in Los Angeles yesterday.


Although the romance is new, the pair already seem to be tired of each other; talking on their cells while having lunch. Usually camera-friendly, Nicole hid under a hood and behind giant sunglasses. Talan was later seen carrying her purse. Salamat, baby.

Kristin Cavallari, Lindsay Lohan and now Nicole ... this guy gets around.
