Four-time Pro Bowl DL McGlockton dies
Stanford assistant coach and four-time Pro Bowl defensive lineman Chester McGlockton has died. The school said Wednesday that McGlockton died overnight of an apparent heart attack. He was 42. A first-round pick of the Los Angeles Raiders in 1992, McGlockton worked for Stanford’s football program the past two seasons as a defensive assistant. “Everyone in the Stanford Football family is deeply saddened by the passing of Chester McGlockton,” Stanford football coach David Shaw said in a statement. “For the past two seasons, Chester has been a valuable member of our football staff and a wonderful friend to us all. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Chester’s wife Zina and their two children.” A native of Whiteville, N.C., McGlockton starred at Clemson before being selected 16th overall by the Los Angeles Raiders in 1992. He played 12 seasons in the NFL with the Raiders, Kansas City Chiefs, Denver Broncos and New York Jets. He made all four of his Pro Bowl appearances while with the Raiders from 1994-97. ''I had the privilege to coach Chester with both the Raiders and the Chiefs, and he was a quality person and a consummate pro — everything you could ever want in a football player,'' Detroit Lions defensive coordinator Gunther Cunningham said. ''I will forever cherish the opportunity to have coached him.'' Big Chet, as he was known by many, was around 335 pounds during his career. But he had lost weight in recent years after undergoing laparoscopic weight-loss surgery and improving his workout and eating habits.
Niki Taylor's newborn son Rex. Mindy McCready Pregnant with Twins
The family news continues for Mindy McCready. On the same day she insisted that, despite reports, she did not kidnap her 5-year-old son Zander, a rep for the troubled country singer confirmed that McCready, 36, is five months pregnant with twins. According to reports, the father of the babies-to-be is unknown. Police say that McCready and her son disappeared after she picked him up from her father's house in Cape Coral, Fla., on Tuesday. The songstress, who has a history of suicide attempts, a jail visit and a stint in rehab, does not have custody of Zander, but she does have visitation privileges. "I am working with lawyers to try to get all this straightened out,” she said Wednesday. "I did not steal my child, as it would be impossible for me to kidnap what already belongs to me! There never was any missing persons report and never an Amber Alert."
Paulina Gretzky's prolific (and racy) Tweeting didn't score any points with her famous father, apparently. The party-girl daughter of hockey superstar Wayne Gretzky shut down her Twitter account over the weekend – apparently after a chat with her father. "Having a nice sit down dinner with my dad about social media..haha," Paulina Tweeted last week – before closing her account. The 22-year-old aspiring model, actress and singer was known for chronicling her party lifestyle and posting sexy photos wearing lingerie, bikinis and skimpy outfits on her account. Before singing off on Saturday, she Tweeted, "Taking a break from Twitter for a bit. Happy Holidays!!! xoxo" Kristin Cavallari & Jay Cutler Are Engaged ... Again!

Kris Humphries Seeks Annulment from Kim Kardashian, Claims 'Fraud'
Was it all just a TV show? Kris Humphries filed Wednesday for an annulment from Kim Kardashian, seeking to erase his 72-day marriage on the grounds of fraud. Even though the pair have a prenuptial agreement and no children, the NBA player is now set up for a possible legal fight with the reality starlet, who has filed for divorce. "There's a clear conflict if one spouse is seeking a divorce, but the other wants an annulment," says family law attorney Scott Weston, who is not involved in the case. "A judge will have to decide which to allow, which could take many months." But a source close to Kardashian says that a battle may be avoided. "She always wanted an annulment but attorneys were against it so she's happy that both parties agree now," says the source. In his Superior Court filing, Humphries marks the box reading "nullity of voidable marriage" and checks as the basis the box saying "fraud." Under California law, a nullity is granted if the court finds that no valid marriage ever occurred. Along with fraud, grounds for an annulment include bigamy, incest, force or if the couple are under the age of consent. Humphries's papers say that if he's denied an annulment then he wants a legal separation – not a divorce. Humphries and Kardashian do agree on one point: the date of separation, which he also lists as Oct. 31. After a whirlwind three-month engagement, the pair were married in a lavish ceremony filmed for Kardashian's show on E!.TV NEWS
