Alexandra Kosteniuk : The Hottest Chess Champion Alive!

Have you ever wondered who the latest sensation is in the chess arena? Well, its not Bobby Fischer, he had his time to shine...

Would you believe that the world chess champion is only 24 years old? I didn't before I did some digging. Apparently this Russian woman named Alexandra Kosteniuk has taken the chess world by storm, she is young, talented and to top it off, she's a mother..

Between chess and changing dirty diapers this woman has no time at all! She lives with her baby and husband in Miami. And get this, she is the 2008 Women's World Chess Champion!

''I want to open a chess academy online, keep training, doing the podcast,'' Alexandra Kosteniuk said this while taking her baby, Francesca on a walk. ``But right now, my priority is being a mommy.''

Ok check this... Alexandra is hot, she has modeling experience and was able to leverage that into the chess arena! Really is there anything better than a hot chess champion?? If I was watching one of her games on TV I don't think I would be paying much attention to the moves if you know what I mean...

Her list of fans is growing with over 3,000 current subscribers to her podcast that can be viewed at the following website : www.chessiscool.com

When asked which is harder, being a mother or being a chess champion, this is what she had to say!

''Being a mommy is much harder than chess,'' she said. ``But playing chess has taught me how to predict and analyze the next move. I'd say that's pretty useful in chess and in life.''

This is an amazing story isn't it? More news on Alexandra Kosteniuk to come in the following months, we are keeping an eye on this one. If we don't it might be check mate for us right? More bad jokes to come in the following months as well! Stay tuned...

Eva Longoria Parker wasn't the first to arrive on the red carpet but when she did arrive it was as if.

She had a stunning red dress that definitely attracted attention from the lowliest employee to the most famous celebrity.

When asked what was going on with her she replied that she was just "a boring housewife." Yah right, nothing boring or housewife-ish about Eva!!

Now I have to go take a cold shower.. Please excuse me...

Apparently John Travolta's agent let the celebrity news syndicate ET know that John wouldn't be attending. Unfortunately John Travolta was nominated for Best Animated Feature in his most recent movie called 'Bolt'.

In previous statements, John wanted to let the public, his friends and family know that he really appreciated their support and love in their time of need.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie : The Golden Globes 2009

Mega Hollywood stars Angelina Jolie and Jolie Brad Pitt made a very sharp appearance at the Golden Globes. They were both dressed in sleek and sylish outifts as they walked down the red carpet...

Brad made what was in my opinion one of his best films to date in 2008. What was it you ask? The Curious Life of Benjamin Button... Talk about an emotional rollercoaster! This guy is born with arthritis and caterax and curiously grows healther and stronger not to mention younger as the movie progresses. I haven't seen a performance even close to this since "A River Runs Through It."

Don't worry, we will be offering a more detailed review in the weeks to come!

Anne Hathaway : Wants to be Obama's babysitter!

I can't believe it, Anne Hathaway is running around winning Critics' Choice Awards.. While at the same time gunning for a job as Barack Obama's family babysitter? What's with Anne nowadays?? Is she confused?

Anne Hathaway was on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" Thursday, one thing led to another and they started talking about the first family.

Anne had the following things to say on the show.. "If I could be Barack Obama's babysitter -- that would be like the coolest thing in life."

After that statement she mouthed to the camera "Call me."

Does babysitting pay better than acting nowadays?? It probably does if its for the President of the United States!

Ryan O'Neal : Guilty Plee for Drug Charge!!

Vincent Angell the co-executive producer made a statement "You forget about it when you are working with him. Most of us get tired before he would -- inspiring. You wouldn't know it. For him, I think it is a bump in the road. We all wish him well."

Well maybe everyone doesn't love Carrie Underwood but CMT certainly does! Nothing like a little recognition from time to time right??

Jamie Lynn Spears Gets a Double Dose of Paparazzi!

Apparently a girl that looked very similar to Jamie Lynn Spears arrived at the LAX Airport recently, but guess what, the paparazzi were tipped off before she got there!

Suppoesdly the police selected this girl as a media distraction so the R E A L Jamie Lynn Spears could arrive under the radar. Well, to make a long story short, the young woman decoy was not too happy about the whole situation and is now suing the LAX Police Department for $2 million in damages which from her lawyers account include "humiliation, fear and harassment."

According to LAX-PD, they said that "it is not the policy or practice for Airport Police to provide a celebrity decoy."

I find this hard to believe... Several times cops take cash for special projects for example, extra security outside of clubs. I doubt this would be outside their comfort zone to pull something like this off!

Larry is 25 years old and off to a great start right? Well, even if he was born in Phoenix, thats still not an excuse. As of this moment larry doesn't have to worry about criminal charges. But the protection order is in full effect. Apparently, Fitzgerald threw his girlfriend on the floor after an argument while he was over at the house visiting his new baby boy..

More celebrity drama every day huh? Don't worry, we'll keep our ear to the train tracks and let you know what happens with this one!

Jett Travolta was only 16 years old.. and had last been seen going into the bathroom on Thursday. He had a history of seizures but more information is still required to relay an accurate report.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Travolta family, we are immensely sorry for their loss.

Charles Barkley Got A DUI on NYE 09!!!

So let me get this straight, Barkley got drunk and ran a stop sign on Wednesday night? Why doesn't that surprise me.. How does a guy go from a basketball superstar to an overweight drunk driver so quickly? Man I used to think Barkely was the greatest thing since sliced bread.. Not anymore.. Apparently he was arrested and suspected of a DUI. Barkley made the following statement to the cops,

"You want the truth? I was gonna drive around the corner and get a b--w j-b," after further investigation he said that he was on his way to get a hummer from a girl he got a good one from last week..

In reference to the girl, he said that she gave him "the best one he had ever had in his life."

OMG, is this news or what?? Talk about negative publicity.. Good bye Disney commercials! Hello Howard Stern!

Evan Seinfeld and Tera Patrick : My Girlfriend's a PORNSTAR!!

Recently, Rockstar Evan Seinfeld and Tera Patrick had an interview with BIOHAZARD and decided to share some real gossip about their relationship! Evan wanted to talk about what its like to be a Rockstar with a Pornstar girlfriend!

Seinfeld and Patrick did the interview mainly to plug their new joint autobiography entitled, "Rockstar/Pornstar: An American Love Story", with entertainment journalist Carrie Borzillo-Vrenna.

I'm not going to say much more.. this is just a shameless plug for their new book if you didn't already guess by now.. C'mon it's at least worth a trip to the library for right??

Broncos Fire Head Coach! Get Out of Here Shanahan!

Well its official.. The Broncos upper management have had enough, they are tired of Mike Shanahan's dismal results as of late.

Even though the topic stinks of "Yah but what have you done for me lately?"

The game is performance driven and performance based. Wins sell seats and tickets, wins keep the fans engaged and ultimately thats what its about right, if you're rootin for your home team, you wanna see them kick butt right??

Shanahan brought the Broncos to victory twice in the Superbowl, and he was held in very high regard by the team's owner Pat Bowlen.

But talk about the ish* hitting the fan! The Broncos were up by 3 games in the AFC West and only to squander their opportunity with an ultimate crushing of their playoff hopes in San Diego... They finished the season with a dismal 8-8 record.

As much as I loved them.. It brings back vague memories of the Seattle Supersonics and the emotional roller-coaster they took me on every season...

Bowlen had these words about the matter, "After giving this careful consideration, I have concluded that a change in our football operations is in the best interests of the Denver Broncos," he followed the statement up by saying, "This is certainly a difficult decision, but one that I feel must be made and which will ultimately be in the best interests of all concerned."

You have to give Shanahan credit, he ran a pretty nice ship for 14 seasons.

Ultimately alot of coaches will be packing their bags this season, 2009 marks a record year for new head coaches.. I myself am excited to see some change!

Woody Harrelson and Laura Louie In Love = Finally Married 20yrs later!

This guy has to be one of my all-time favorite actors! C'mon White Men Can't Jump??!! Need I say more.. This guy must be the biggest procrastinator in the world.. Really Woody? It takes you 20 years to make up your mind? I've heard of taking things slow.. this would be called taking things comatose... Well 20 years + 3 Kids = Alright, guess its time for the ball and chain.. Please don't be offended by my blunt and direct sense of humor..

Woody was in that show "Cheers" remember? Thats where he met Laura Louie, she was his assistant... Anyways, the wedding was Sunday in Maui, per the Daily News.

There was an all star cast at the wedding which included heavy hitting celebs like Owen Wilson, Willie Nelson and Sean Penn. One of my favorite shreeking vocalists, Alanis Morissette graced the ceremony with her talented singing...

Woody who is now 47 years old previously referred to Laura Louie as "the wife."

I guess the only thing that really changed is a little piece of paper called a pre-nuptual agreement? Or not?

Thanks for putting up with another edition of Celebrity Gossip!

Lingerie Football Player Melissa Berry Sues Ex-Lover!

The first of many scandals has occured in the Lingerie Footaball League.. I predicted this a long time ago but nobody listened.. Melissa Berry, a linebacker with the Lingerie Football League is currently in litigation for $15,000 in damages from her ex-boyfriend Mark Dawson.

Berry’s lawsuit against Dawson, is based on allegations that Melissa took nudie photos of herself with his cell phone. In the Tampa Bay Tribune, she also said that a different photo of her was taken without her permission conducting a “particularly private, intimate sexual act."

Dawson tried to play it off like he was completely innocent wanting to set the record clear that he didn't want the photos to get out although, after they broke up it is alleged that he showed the pics to some friends at a nightclub.

This is just the beginning of the drama that is to come from the Lingerie Football League.. Stay posted for more exciting updates about Melissa and the LFL, only on Celebrity Gossip!

A press release was transmitted from the organization that claimed that "several Israeli gunboats intercepted the Dignity she was heading on a mission of mercy to Gaza."
