Tim Tebow

Tim Tebow and Jeremy Lin may be Christian athletes who won honors at the 2012 ESPY Awards Wednesday night, but actress Jessica Biel was the one going to God in prayer in the presence of the two professional athletes.

Biel posed with Tebow and Lin backstage at the awards show that took place in Los Angeles and tweeted about encountering the Christian athletes, namely Tebow. After reports surfaced about Tebow requesting that a stylist at a Los Angeles salon refrain from cursing, Biel tweeted a prayer about curbing her own profanity.

"Dear God, please don't let me swear in front of @timtebow at the ‪#espys‬ tonight when we present," the actress tweeted. more >>

Tim Tebow may not mind his New York Jets head coach Rex Ryan using profanity in the locker room, but the 24-year-old quarterback is reportedly not willing to sit through swearing when getting his hair cut.

Tebow, known for being an outspoken evangelical Christian, recently requested that his hair stylist refrain from using profanity in a Beverly Hills, Calif., salon. While in Los Angeles for the 2012 ESPY Awards taking place Wednesday night, Tebow reportedly visited the Chris McMillan Salon in Beverly Hills where a client reportedly heard him make a special request.

"He asked for a woman to cut his hair who doesn't curse," the client told Celeb Buzz. more >>

New York Jets quarterback Tim Tebow surprised his Twitter followers late last week by starting a spur of the moment trivia competition, in which the winner received items autographed by two other football stars.

On Friday, the quarterback said via Twitter that he had just received a "VIP kit" for the NCAA Football 13 video game, which included the game and two miniature helmets that had been signed by fellow Heisman Trophy winners Barry Sanders and Robert Griffin III. He then asked three questions, and the first of his followers to get the answer right received the prize package.

Looking back to his college days at the University of Florida, Tebow asked, "When I threw my first ever jump pass as a Gator, who was it against, who caught it & what was the final score in that game?" more >>

Tim Tebow may have received criticism for his passing ability while starting for the Denver Broncos last season, but the New York Jets backup quarterback has been making changes to prepare for the upcoming season, including undergoing mixed martial arts training.

Tebow, 24, is looking to fill in the blanks of the Jets' the ground-and-pound offense and has put on weight in the offseason to help him. However many were surprised to learn that Tebow has also recently been training under the Gracie family, who are known for founding Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

Over the past week, Tebow has been training at the Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Academy in Torrance, Calif. The Christian NFL player was included in a photograph with the academy's instructors Rener Gracie and Ralek Gracie. more >>

All it takes is a 30-second perusal of the supermarket tabloids to confirm what you already know:

There is an excessive, if not obsessive, draw to celebrity in the culture. From Tim Tebow to Kate Middleton to Kim Kardashian, people are drawn to certain individuals, for any number of reasons.

But a fascination with the famous is by no means a new phenomenon. It manifests itself differently today than 50 years ago, but human nature is still the same. Often an obsession with celebrity is marked by a sort of innocently conceived voyeuristic spirit, but there have been times when it's had tragic consequences. more >>

Tim Tebow has agreed to take part in "The Bachelor" reality television show, according to host Chris Harrison, who also expressed doubt that the professional athlete would actually appear on the ABC program.

While guest hosting on "Access Hollywood Live" Monday, Harrison revealed that he spoke to the 24-year-old Jets backup quarterback about appearing on the series to find love.

"I met about him becoming our next Bachelor, I think he'd be a great Bachelor," Harrison said. "He did say yes, but he'd never do it. He has a little job called quarterback in the NFL." more >>
