Remember yesterday when Page Six inexplicably took down an item about Michael Bublé striking out with (his girlfriend!) Emily Blunt? Well today, the red-faced Sixers attempt to make it up to the happy couple by publishing this open apology.

We Struck Out

SPIES who saw Michael Bublé and Emily Blunt at the Hotel Costes K in Paris were badly mistaken when they saw
Bublé "strike out" with the lovely lass - as was Page Six for reporting the "incident." Bublé's rep told us the low-key twosome "have been together for two years" and "are a lovely couple." As for our spy saying he wore a "ridiculous" vest, Blunt told us via a rep, "I thought he looked very cute in the vest." Contrary to reports elsewhere, the two are not engaged, although she's a backup singer on his new album, "Call Me Irresponsible."

You gotta admire Page Six for having the chutzpah to entitle their consolatory item, "We Struck Out." Meanwhile, we're just hoping someone can send us a picture of this "ridiculous" (or not-so-ridiculous!) vest.

Until then, we prefer to think of Bublé's ensembly-challenged wardrobe as being inspired by fashion icons Screech Powers and Ducky (from Pretty in Pink). And we prefer to think of Emily Blunt as in denial.

Have a chance to read today's Page Six? If not, you may be surprised to receive a scary error message should you click on a (now inactive) link to this morning's "A Swing And A Miss" item.

Fortunately, we've taken the liberty of copying and pasting the item here, for your convenience:

Corny crooner Michael Bublé isn't entirely the ladies' man he fancies himself to be. The never-bashful balladeer was spotted 'boasting to anyone who would listen' in the bar at the Hotel Costes K in Paris the other night, 'wearing this ridiculous vest and bragging to everyone about how women fall all over him and how amazing he is,' our witness reports. But when he tried out his moves by flirting with Emily Blunt, who was also at the hotel, he completely struck out.

Although we can only speculate as to the official reason for the item's removal, we do know a few things for certain, namely:

(1) Michael Bublé and Emily Blunt are currently dating, and have been for the past three or so years.
(2) Like most couples who have been together for three or so years, Michael Bublé and Emily Blunt have probably had sexual relations.
(3) Said relations were probably consensual.
