Player of the day: Manchester United midfielder Phil Jones

Manchester United midfielder Phil Jones looks smoking hot in this picture despite some red spots on his face. This hot dude is is hoping to shake off an illness in time to face his former club as Manchester United vs Blackburn today. With United playing a day early than Manchester City, the Red Devils have the chance to steal the top spot from their Premier League rivals with a victory over Blackburn Rovers.

Taylor Kinney is so hot

Forget about werewolf Mason Lockwood in The Vampire Diaries TV series. Actor Taylor Kinney is now well known as Lady Gaga's boyfriend. The actor is also a model. His agency is LA Models.

GOP candidates spouses: Callista Gingrich

Oh my God, Callista Gingrich's plastic surgery face really scares me. There is a rumor that Newt Gingrich divorced his first wife because she wasn't pretty enough to be First Lady. I hope it isn't true because his current wife is definitely not pretty enough to be First Lady, even after she went under the knife. The end of Gingrich’s first marriage has long been shrouded in some controversy, a history that returned as he became a front runner for the Republican nomination.

Dominican model Amelia Vega

Former Miss Universe Amelia Vega is now a so-called WAG. I think Al Horford and Amelia Vega would make a great couple. Al Horford had seven rebounds to go with six points to lead the Atlanta Hawks to a 92-75 victory over Charlotte Bobcats in a preseason game last week.

Player of the day: Petr Cech

Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech thinks Monday's match Chelsea vs Fulham is a big London derby and it will be a difficult game for the Blues. He has warned his teammates against complacency and urged his teammates to disregard Fulham's recent problems. Do you agree with him? Fulham have a difficult Christmas period and will be looking to pick up a vital point at Stamford Bridge as they look to cement their place in mid-table. Meanwhile, Chelsea are unbeaten in five league games since Liverpool won at Stamford Bridge last month.

Sports image of the day: Gabriel Obertan of Manchester United battles Maynor Figueroa of Wigan

Facts and stats ahead of of the Premier League clash Manchester United vs Wigan on Monday.
1) It’s a shame that Wigan have scored only 15 goals in all top-flight games this season. No team has scored fewer.
2) United have scored more goals in their last three Premier League games than they managed in the previous nine.
3) Midfielder Phil Jones did not suffer a broken cheekbone as Ferguson first feared at Fulham last week, and the bruising should have eased sufficiently for the teenager to face Martinez's guys.

The X Factor winner Melanie Amaro

From early reject to grand-prize winner, Melanie Amaro was crowned champion of Fox's "The X Factor" yesterday, winning a $5 million recording contract and starring role in a Pepsi commercial that will air during next year's Super Bowl. The 19-year-old songbird erupted into a flood of joyful tears last night upon hearing she was crowned the winner of the contest. Just seconds after she was declared the winner of the Fox talent competition, Melanie Amaro's boyfriend shared her joy by rushing onstage to give her a hug.

Hot guy of the day: Matt Barkley

Trojan football player Matt Barkley threw for 3,528 yards and 39 touchdowns with only seven interceptions this season. He apparently wanted to be a "special Trojan" or, as his coach Lane Kiffin said at Thursday's news conference, "the perfect Trojan, Matty Trojan." This 21-year-old football player is such a hot dude. He has a smile that could light up a stadium.

Funny sports picture of the day: Monta Ellis

I think the Warriors' star guard must have something wrong with his taste in woman. I think Monta Ellis’ wife Juanika Amos Ellis looks more beautiful than Erika Ross Smith. Do you agree with me? I don't understand why he cheated his wife. Smith said she told team executives that Monta Ellis told her he was using a "secret cellular phone" that was being kept by the team's equipment manager and was in the name of a third party. Hey guys, it isn't smart to flirt your mistress by texting her. It will come back and bite you one day.

Philippines flood picture

What did people who attended the 17th Conference of the Parties (COP) think when they saw this picture? There were an estimated 17,000 people at the recently concluded COP17 in Durban, but they couldn't reach to an agreement. I think rich countries should be blamed for the Cagayan de Oro flood in southern Philippines. If we don't act quickly, there will be more disasters.

We don't know Sam Hurd anymore

Sam Hurd is no longer the American football wide receiver who received a lot of love and respect from his fans like the man in this picture. I think Sam Hurd's wife Stacee Hurd is very sad right now. It is sad that Hurd ruined his promising career and his family by himself.

Player of the day: Heidar Helguson

Heidar Helguson has scored six goals in his last seven top-flight appearances and he will be a key player of this Sunday's match QPR vs Manchester United. Queens Park Rangers lie in 16th spot in the league table, having won just two games of their past ten. A win over United however, would take QPR level on points with 10th placed Ason Villa. However, I think it's impossible for them to beat the Red Devils. The Premier League match Manchester City vs Arsenal which kicks off three hours later is another interesting game.
