Tiger Woods on Vanity Fair Cover – Tiger Woods is on the cover of the latest issue of Vanity Fair. There is no story about him. He didn’t suddenly do an interview with them. They used pre-scandal photos taken by Annie Leibovitz. Good timing, I’d say.. [nydailynews]

Feel What it’s Like to Divorce Tiger Woods – Tonight’s SuperEna Lottery jackpot is sitting at £104,000,000 which is around R1.25 billion. It reminds me of that joke : A man comes home one evening and shouts “Honey! Pack your bags, I won the Lottery!” She is hugely excited and asks “What type of destination should I pack for”, to which he replies: “I don’t give a damn, just be outta here by 5! [playsuperena]

19-Year-Old Becomes Youngster Ever Chess World Champion – Beating my old nemesis, Garry Kasparov by a year (Gazza was 20 when he claimed the title), Norway’s Magnus Carlsen has been crowned the number one chess player in the world. He became a chess “grandmaster” when he was 13, which is not bad by my standards.

Eddie Vedder Plays Tribute to Bruce Springsteen – Which is weird because I was just watching Sean Penn’s film Into The Wild last night, which features a lot of Eddie Vedder’s music. And before I watched that I had just finished watching The Soprano’s, which features Steven Van Zandt as “Silvio.” But enjoy this, Steven Van Zandt also plays guitar for Bruce Springsteen’s band. I swear to God.. [rollingstone]
