Elin Nordegren Gives Tiger Woods the (Bare) Finger

Hot on the heels of reports that Tiger Woods‘ (current) wife Elin Nordegren has bought a home in Sweden comes another sign that the marriage is headed for splitsville.
Nordegren publicly emerged this weekend, and her wedding band was quite conspicuously missing.

The Swedish model was photographed near her Windermere, Florida home pumping gas into a red SUV with her right hand, while holding an American Express card with her ring-less left hand.

In light of all the tawdry tales and embarrassing allegations, it doesn’t surprise Gossip Cop that Nordegren has ditched the bling.

Courtney Love Lost Control of Daughter to Guardians

Courtney Love has lost legal control of her daughter, Frances Bean Cobain.


A court has appointed two legal guardians to care for the 17-year-old daughter of Love and Kurt Cobain. They guardians are Wendy O’Connor (Kurt Cobain’s mother) and Kimberly Dawn Cobain (his sister).


Love, whose long period of unstable behavior initiated the proceedings, was not in court for the decision.


TMZ reports that the guardians will not have power over the trust established following Kurt Cobain’s 1994 death.

Happy Birthday, Vanessa Hudgens!

Yesterday we wished Taylor Swift a happy 20th birthday with a walk down (gossip) memory lane.

Today Vanessa Hudgens turns 21, so we thought we’d look back at some highlights from a very eventful year for the “High School Musical” star.

Hudgens Gets “Engaged” to Zac Efron
Quotes from a dubious “interview” spread everywhere… but the couple never got engaged.

Hudgens and Zac Efron on “Verge of a Split”
Yeah – just because it’s the opposite of the earlier wrong story, it doesn’t make this one any more accurate.

Hudgens in Vancouver, Therefore Part of “Eclipse”
No one could be twenty years old for 365 days and NOT be linked to the “Twilight Saga.” But Hudgens isn’t Leah Clearwater.

Hudgens Goes Topless
Not her most “Disney” moment, but true. Gossip Cop confirmed that leaked topless photos were indeed of Hudgens.

CONFIRMED Alex Rodriguez and Kate Hudson split up

Gossip Cop can 100 percent confirm that Alex Rodriguez and Kate Hudson have broken up.
The couple, who were the source of endless moving in, engagement and even pregnancies rumors have gone their separate ways after a year together.

A source close to Rodriguez wouldn’t go into the specifics of the split but told Gossip Cop, “It’s true.”

Speculation over their relationship began after the Yankees slugger was partying with various women in Miami last weekend.

Christmas 2.0

Back in the olden days, Christmas used to be all about Santa Claus, Christmas Dinners and the Birth of Jesus our Xavier... However in today society, though some aspects still revolves around the birth of our Xavier, the primary focus is all about which brand you got your presents from and how many have you got. Have we become a material obsessed generation where we worried about what to buy for people than focusing on the people that are less generous than us and more importanly, Jesus himself?

However, I do find myself being caught in the materialistics word where there are certain... items... that I do fancy myself. Some of the items include:
1. DVDs and CDs
2. Ipod Nanos
3. Colognes and body cares
4. Clothes
5. Books

Though those items seems to be harmless to us but to some it's a big deal... So, in your point of view, what do YOU considered as important? Materials or the Original meaning of X-Mas??

Another question that I want to know.... What do YOU want for Christmas? :)

Man jailed for killing ex-wife, son

Why do Asian people either kill someone or smuggle drugs?? I mean come on - I thought we were smarter than that guys!

Man jailed for killing ex-wife, son
As his 11-year-old son looked on, Minh Ly Tran attacked his ex-wife in a homicidal frenzy, fatally stabbing her and her younger son.

Tran had become so obsessed over the break-up of his marriage, the loss of his property and the loss of access to his two children, that his only reaction was one of extreme violence.
In March this year the 49-year-old went to the Adelaide home of his former wife, Han Trac Nguyen, 40, in a final attempt to see his son and seven-year-old daughter.

But when they rejected his bid to be involved in their lives, he attacked.

Passing sentence on Friday on two counts of murder, South Australian Supreme Court Chief Justice John Doyle said Tran dragged Ms Nguyen into the backyard of her home as she clung to her 22-month-old son.

He then stabbed them both several times using a screwdriver with a blade attached.
Justice Doyle said in killing the young boy there appeared to be an element of revenge in Tran's actions.

"You were prepared to kill whoever attracted your anger at the time," he told Tran.

Justice Doyle said Tran had shown no remorse or contrition over his actions and little concern for the impact the killings would have on his own son who had watched as the fatal blows were inflicted.

"He will be burdened by that memory for the rest of his life," the judge said.

In earlier submissions, defence counsel Greg Mead said after the killings Tran had contacted police almost immediately saying he wanted to be taken to jail because he had killed the person who had killed him.

"In his mind, his life had been devastated by the loss of his children, his wife and his property," Mr Mead said.

"In that sense he felt that he had been killed."

Mr Mead said Tran's reaction to his situation was to act "in a homicidal frenzy".

"The only response with which he was capable was one of extreme violence."

Justice Doyle imposed the mandatory two life sentences on Tran but one 27-year non-parole period.

He said the term would have been 32 years had Tran not pleaded guilty to the killings.

Forever Is Overated

OK so I was watching Summer Heights High the other day... and I must say it is a pretty interesting piece of work but the thing that really stood out is that year 11 private school kid, who was at the public school for some silly program, started dating a year 7 kid! Not only it is a stupid idea dating someone who is barely of age but the fact is that they are just kids.

The 21st century kids are soo lame - one minute they say they love each other and the next they say it's over! Just like that.... Like it's nothing serious.... the sad fact is that people do this soo often that the word "forever" has lost it's meaning whether they will love each other forever or being there for one.... it just lsot it's value and it becomes overated!

What do YOU think? Drop a comment when you have time!
Until Next Time

Does music really makes the people come together?

We all heard the saying "music makes the people come together" by the one and only Madonna - but does it really unites people or it's all about the chartings, money and endourcements? Sure there are events such as the Sound Relieve and Live Aid - but is it all a sham to make money, publicity and charting the the charts??

What do YOU think?
Until next Time

Gossip Number 2 - David Letterman Tweets for the first time on “Late Show”

Do you smell veal and peppers?” was the Tweet read ’round the world when David Letterman used Twitter for the first time ever while taping last night’s “Late Show with David Letterman.”
And it may be among his last, if last night was any indication.

After the Tweet Letterman moaned, “I can tell [Tweeting's] not for me,” adding “I feel infantile” typing his every thought.

Nor does the idea of having Followers appeal to the talk show host. He groused, “I don’t need a crowd following me.”

Mostly, the idea of publicly expressing himself irked Letterman. He complained, “I know what I’m thinking.”

Over the course of the show, Letterman tweeted three times including, “I like Barbara. Do you?” about guest Barbara Walters, and “I’m making toast!” which he, in fact, did during the broadcast.
You can follow Letterman @Late_Night, but don’t count on a reply.

Never Thought Eating Would Be Soo Scary!

I wa slooking through Ninemsn and I came across this article! it's scary enough to put me off eating hahah

Tigers maul trainer during show in Germany

An animal trainer is in critical condition after being savagely mauled by tigers during a performance at an expensive restaurant in Germany.
Diners at the upmarket circus-themed venue in Hamburg watched in horror as the Bengal tigers began to eat Christian Walliser alive, according to reports.
"He didn't stand a chance," the Daily Mail quoted one of the guests as saying.
"They were on him in an instant."
Ismet Mueller, Walliser's friend in the 200-strong audience, described the attack as "horrible" to watch.
"They were treating him like a rag doll," he said.
The attack reportedly occurred when Walliser lost concentration during the act.
Three of the five tigers set upon the 28-year-old trainer, biting his hands, upper body and head in front of the stunned crowd.
Medics set up an improvised emergency therapy station at the venue to treat guests following the attack, with about 20 audience members reportedly suffering shock.
Walliser has undergone emergency surgery and is still in critical condition.
The owners of Pagel's Dinner Circus, who charge $220 per person for the unique dining experience, said their show would continue.
"Christian would want it that way," a spokesman was quoted as saying.
"The tigers were only playing with him but the human body can't take such games."

Stereotypes

Urgh There is nothing I HATE more than when people classified a person into groups. For example:

If you see an a white guy wearing a fluro shirt from Cotton On, you immediately think that he is some stupid wog that have no brain!

As for myself, I have been mistaken for a a lonely smart Asian nerd who excel in Methods, Spesh, Chemistry, Bio and Physics.... As for a matter of fact I would like to clear a few things up:
1. I listen to Lady Gaga and I particular like LoveGame.... Do you see a lot of typical Asian liking songs that has a disco stick in it?
2. I prefer western movies and series such as: Heroes, Gossip Girl, Desperate Housewives, Rome, 2010 and Lord Of The Rings over K-Drama, J-Drama or whatever drama they are called.
3. I prefer MTVs and VHM than K-Pop Or J-Pop or whatever Pop tarts there are
4. I lost myself through the words of english than solving Chemistry problems or maths equation

Though I am an Asian young adult who grew up in Australia who's traits and believes are pretty much been influenced by what's going in Australia, I do find a part of myself yearning to understand the history of the people that shares the same land and culture as I do wether it's through the histories of the country

Another stereotype that I do find quite annoying is that when you see guys that take care of the their looks is a homo or if girls are fat and dress in converse and non-lady like then they are lesbians......... honestly is the 21st century generation become the generations that only judge its book by its cover? Though I do believe that guys should at least have some fatness in them and more muscular where as the ladies should be feminine with a curvaceous yet healthy figure, I do believe in people being allowed to express who they are and dress in ways that express who they are and that should applies to not only in places like: America, Australia or England but also in countries that are not as privilege, democratic or as carefree as America, Australia or England such as: Africa and Asia.

What Is You Opinions about stereotypical? Is there any particular experiences or stories that you are to share?
Peace Out For Now

What Do People Really Look For In People When They Add You Wanting To Befriended With You

The weirdest thing happened to me.... ever since I befriended with Bang Kieu (a well liked Vietnamese entertainer), random (yet weird!?!?) individuals have been adding me. Which lead me to wonder, do they add me because they want to know me or it's because of the photos that I took with the people that we both know?

It is a challenging topic as there isn't much blogs or details that talk about this kind of topic but I have compiled a list of reasons why people added others:
1. They are sexually attracted to the other person
2. They have too much times in their hands
3. They think that can exploit them to get what they want
4. To show people that they "know" alot of people but really.. they're just desperate wannabes
5. ............ They're just desperate

But what do you do when random add you? A friend of mine, Sophistry, once said that she doesn't even accept the add... well I personally, kind of, agreed and disagreed with it. What I would do is that:
1. Accept the add
2. See who they are and their intentions
3. If they are one of the list above - then screw them!
4. If their intention is to extend their network and know people then suree welcome aboard!

What do YOU think are the factors that people look for when added people? Looking forward to hear from you
Peace out for now

What You Need To Know About Me

Hi :-)

I'm 19.

I'm the boy who is best friends with new ideas, meeting new people and writing stuff about everything that happens to me. People and names included. ;-)

Currently Studying Public Relation at Swinburne University in Prahran

Live in the great Melbourne, the great city of Victoria in Australia.

In my spare time, I like to conduct random yet humorous conversation with the people I know.

I'm not a big deal. Or big in any case

I love people who are nice to me, I’ve always believe in “you got to give in order to get”

Because I'm a complicated person with simple hopes, wishes and dreams. My complications come out in the works that I do and what I say.

I'm extremely short. Like, I'm that really short person that would be mistaken for a dwarf or a midget.

I love the obvious who see life as either black or white with spontaneous colors in between.

I like people who are sociable. I think it's engaging when people go up to others that might not be their “type”. I’m that engaging too.

I've never been the kind of boys who needs a girlfriend or go out getting wasted every single night. Plus, girls don't ask me out because they know I’ll spread words about them.

In life and love, you learn that there comes a time to let go and move on. It's a lesson I learned a long time ago.

I like people who can be sarcastic and laugh about tense situations.

I never assume that people are being honest with me.

I like to read up on weird stories that happened in people’s life, so if one of my friends ever talk to me about problems that they have encountered, I'm probably going to spout off 20 different things that happened to others how another 20 more on how they can changed their ways. Because I'm an Asian and too paranoid for my own good.

I think Paris Hilton and Britney Spears are some fascinated people EVER. I learned to partay hard through them (as well as John Mayer). Taylor Swift inspired me with my writing aspect

I don't like making decisions when I don't have to.

There's never going to be a time when I'm annoyed by compliments about my social life, the way that I am and how outrages I can be. I love ALL comments soo keep them coming even if it's a slap in the face ;)

I need everything to be organized. All the time.

I'm a thinker and an over-analyzer yet I'm not jaded.

Ohh… and I’m Donald
