  • Lindsey Vonn Shows Off Fabulous Figure After Breaking Up With Tiger Woods

    Olympic skier Lindsey Vonn looked more radiant than ever after her split with pro golfer Tiger Woods.

    Vonn, who dated Woods for three years, confirmed the breakup on Facebook last May.

    Claiming that the split was caused by their fierce work schedules, the Olympic gold medalist commented that they rarely spent time with each.

    The famous skier further added that she will forever treasure the time she and Woods had together.

    However, Daily Mail Online reported that the pair broke up due to Wood’s infidelity, who was rumored to have had a fling with Amanda Boyd.

    Boyd was PGA Championship winner Jason Dufner’s ex-wife, the couple divorced in February due to complete incompatibility of temperament.

    However, Vonn allegedly caught Woods cheating with Boyd a week before the divorce from Dufner.

    Woods vehemently denied that his supposed two-timing caused the breakup.

    Indeed, skier Vonn did not mention anything about Wood’s cheating in her social media post, signifying that the breakup was “mutual”.

    According to Vonn, she and Woods broke up on good terms and they still kept in touch.

    Nevertheless, the 30-year-old athlete seemed to have gotten over the split and has appeared at events flaunting her sporty curves.

    Last Sunday, Vonn appeared at the British Formula One Grand Prix in a body-hugging, skimpy khaki dress, accentuating her toned arms and hot body. At the event, Vonn looked ready to get cosy with other sports figures including, F1 racer Lewis Hamilton, at the British Grand Prix.

    In fact, photos of Vonn and Hamilton flirting with each other have since flooded the internet.

  • Cara Delevingne Wraps Up Her Busy Week By Enjoying The Races In Monaco

    Ah, to be young and carefree.

    Cara Delevingne really lived it up last week as she partied hardy during the Cannes Film Festival before wrapping up her week by doing ambassador duties for Tag Heur at the Formula 1 Grand Prix in Monaco.

    The 22-year-old model spent the better part of last week hanging out with her bff Kendal Jenner and enjoying the sights and shows in Cannes before jetting off to Monaco.

    Delevingne looked like she belonged in the cockpit as she donned a hot pink and black racing suit with the top zipped low enough to flash some serious cleavage. She kept it relatively simple with a few necklaces, barely there makeup and stylish sunglasses.

    The model was joined by fellow Tag Heur image model and friend Cristiano Ronaldo as they strolled around.

    The London-bred model even sat behind the wheel of one McClaren racing car to get a feel of the specially crafted machine.

    The leggy model was also seen smiling happily as she posed in the cockpit with Formula 1 stars Fernando Alonso and Jenson Button, along with soccer superstar Ronaldo.

    The Suicide Squad star then changed into something a bit more comfortable later in the day when she joined her sister Poppy before the start of the race.

    The two stylish sisters turned heads as  Cara walked around in a sports T-shirt, miniscule white shorts and high-tops while the 29-year-old Poppy opted to wear jeans, a flared top that’s currently all the rage and comfortable pumps.

    They were joined by their friends Kendall Jenner, Hailey Baldwin and Gigi and Bella Hadid. Fashion favorites Baldwin, Jenner and Hadid were there to show their support for Mercedes AMG driver Lewis Hamilton.

    Fans of the busy fashion model were able to live vicariously through her as Delavigne continually updated them via social media of all the latest happenings.

    Sabine Kehm, Schumacher’s manager, told German TV station RTL that the driver is “making progress considering the severity of his injury” and “you have to give it time. I think you really just have to have patience.”

    The seven-time Formula One champion, who lives in Gland, Switzerland, suffered severe brain damage, which left him in a coma for six months

    Kehm said it was ‘not possible’ to say how long it would take for the 45-year-old to fully recover and expressed her gratitude for the outpouring of love and support that has been offered to the beloved racer and his family.

    “The family is really very thankful and also very moved by it… I can only say again that the family is very happy and touched by the sympathetic messages. I think that positive energy can have a good effect,” said Kehm.

    According to the Daily Mail, a French doctor treating Schumacher said he was making progress, but will need years to fully recover.

    The newspaper also reports Schumacher is paralyzed and in a wheelchair. In addition, he is unable to speak and has memory issues, according to former racing driver Philippe Streiff.

    Geri Halliwell, former Ginger Spice for the Spice Girls, announced her engagement to her fiancé, Red Bull Formula One boss Christian Horner, last week and says she is ‘absolutely thrilled’ to be planning for her wedding.

    Halliwell and Horner spoke publicly to The Telegraph about their engagement for the first time at Sentebale Polo Cup in Abu Dhabi, which was also attended by another ginger, Prince Harry, for his charity work for African children.

    The singer admitted that she was “absolutely thrilled” to be making wedding plans. As for Horner, he said he was “delighted.”

    The couple began dating last March and have yet to announce a wedding date.

    Halliwell told reporters she has watched Prince Harry grow up and says his work is “brilliant.”

    “I have met Prince Harry a few times. I’ve seen him since he was about ten. I have seen him grow up. It is brilliant what he is doing with his life,” she said. “It’s all for a good cause.

    “I think he is a great ambassador for showing people that we care and he’s got great spirit and heart. I think he’s brilliant. We are looking forward to seeing him in action.”

    The singer didn’t seem to know a whole lot about polo. However, she did say she had been on a polo pony before, describing them as “amazing…I want to say like a Ferrari…”

    “No don’t say Ferrari, it’s Red Bull!” corrected her new fiancé, referring to his Red Bull F1 team, for which he has been captain for the past nine years.

  • Nicole Scherzinger is Reportedly Feeling ‘Drained and Unhappy’

    Nicole Scherzinger is allegedly feeling “drained and unhappy.”

    But, who wouldn’t be with her crazy schedule?

    Reports claims the former Pussycat Dolls singer has been incredibly busy with work recently, promoting her new album Big Fat Lie and announcing she will appear in London’s West End production of the musical, Cats.

    The 36-year-old is also rumored to be seeking more commitment from her 29-year-old boyfriend, Formula One driver Lewis Hamilton.

    Apparently, all the strain is becoming too much for the singer.

    “Nicole puts so much pressure on herself to succeed that she ends up burning out,” an insider said.

    “Her solo career isn’t going as well as she hoped, so she’s throwing herself into other projects. But she’s not looking after herself. She’s drained and unhappy,” continued the source.

    There have been several recent incidences that have caused concern for the singer.

    Last month, Scherzinger reportedly asked her driver to pull over in rush-hour traffic because she felt ill. The driver told Scherzinger it was impossible to stop in traffic, so Nicole took matters into her own hands. The end result was a minor fender-bender.

    “Nicole felt ill and was disorientated. She screamed at her driver to pull over, but he couldn’t so she just opened the door,” the insider said.

    Reports also claim the singer is ready to settle down, get married and start a family. But with their hectic schedules and frequent separations, any plans to settle down are proving impossible.

  • Kimi Raikkonen Reprimanded for Clash at Monaco Grand Prix

    Kimi Raikkonen had an eventful race at the 2014 Monaco Grand Prix on Monday.

    The Finnish Formula One star was running in third place until he was hit by British driver Max Chilton during the second safety car period.

    The safety car had just cleared German Adrian Sutil’s crashed car at the Nouvelle Chicane.

    When lapped cars were allowed to repass after the clean up, Chilton hit Raikkonen, forcing the Finnish driver to make a pit stop for repairs.

    “This was a very unlucky day for me, a real shame after getting a good start and managing to move up to third place. The car was handling well and had a good pace,” Raikkonen stated on his website.

    “Unfortunately, in a Safety Car period, my car was hit by Chilton’s Marussia and I had to make an unscheduled stop as my right rear [tire] was damaged and that meant the end of any chance of getting a good result.”

    The incident left Raikkonen chasing Danish driver Kevin Magnussen for seventh place toward the end of the race.

    The two clashed at Loews with six laps to go when Raikkonen tried to outbrake Magnussen in what some viewed as a “very aggressive” move.

    “I tried to overtake on the inside [curb] and couldn’t make the corner,” Raikkonen said.

    ” … I didn’t see what happened with Kimi – I went to the inside to try to block his entry into the hairpin, but he chose to make a move anyway. It’s hard to overtake here, but he tried and it didn’t work. That’s racing,” Magnussen observed.

    In the end, Magnussen took 10th place, Raikkonen 12th, and Chilton 14th.

    Chilton and Raikkonen were both reprimanded by race stewards, but Raikkonen took issue with the level of attention given his clash with Magnussen and the fact that he’d missed the pre-race drivers’ parade versus the incident with Chilton.

    “Nobody talked about the safety car thing until I asked … Obviously that was the thing that destroyed the race, but clearly they were not very interested,” Raikkonen said. “They asked why I missed the drivers’ parade, but that was because I did not feel very good. So they make a big story about that, but not the main things.”
