THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. (AP) -- Tiger Woods is starting to look like his old self at the Chevron World Challenge.

Woods got off to a blazing start Friday and played bogey-free in the second round for a 6-under 66 to take a four-shot lead into the weekend of his final tournament of the year.

He was at 13-under 131, his best 36-hole start to the year by six shots.

Drake is just one nom behind the pace-setters. The Toronto lyricist scored nods in three categories: Best Hip Hop Song of the Year, Album of the Year and Record of the Year.

Nicki Minaj, Ne-Yo, B.o.B Erykah Badu, Monica, Sade and Fantasia are among the other big nominees, each scoring two nods apiece. This year's Legends Awards recipients are veteran singers Ron Isley and Anita Baker.

R. Kelly is set to open the show, hosted for a second-straight year by actor Terrence Howard and Taraji P. Henson. Rick Ross, Cee-Lo and Keyshia Cole are among the acts scheduled to perform. The 2010 Soul Train Awards are set for November 10 at Atlanta's Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre and will air November 28 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on BET and Centric.

Beyonce Says She Takes Pregnancy Rumors In Stride

'I just hope that one day, when I decide to be pregnant that people are happy for me,' superstar jokes about year-round bump-watch.

In 2010 alone, Beyoncé was pregnant at least twice, if you believe the rumors.

While the singer shot down the talk both times, she says that at this point she's pretty much to used to people speculating about potential baby bumps. "I mean, it's a part of it. At this point they said I've been pregnant like eight times, so I'm kind of used to it," Beyoncé told MTV News at a screening for her concert DVD, "I Am ... World Tour," in New York City.

"I just hope that one day, when I decide to be pregnant that people are happy for me, 'cause I'm like gosh, like, everyone's like, 'Oh god, please! She's been pregnant 100 times.' One day, hopefully, I will be. So whatever; it's a part of being a celebrity, I guess."

Her mom, Tina Knowles, was also at the screening and when asked if she thought that 2011 might be the year we give up gossiping about Bey's pregnancy status, she played it cool. "You have to ask her those personal things," she said. "I don't know!"

But Tina was also the lady to shoot down the baby-bump rumors last month when she sat down with talk-show host Ellen DeGeneres.

"I heard that, but I'm here to clear the rumors up. The truth is it's not Beyoncé that's pregnant, it's me," she joked. "No, it's not true. Not right now. I'm looking forward to it. With all the rumors, by now I should have about five or six grandchildren."

Andrei Markov Could Miss Remainder of Season

Filed under: ,

Andrei Markov hasn't played for the Montreal Canadiens since November 13, and it's unlikely he'll play for them again this season as the veteran will be undergoing surgery next week to repair a meniscus as well as his ACL. Said general manager Pierre Gauthier in a statement released by the team, "We are very confident that Andrei will be able to fully recover from this injury."

It's just not likely to be this season for the defenseman who is currently in the final year of a four-year contract that pays him over $5.7 million per season.

He's scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent after this season, along with fellow Montreal defensemen Roman Hamrlik and Hal Gill. When healthy, he's the Canadiens top defenseman and power play quarterback, averaging over 45 points per season over the past five years. Obviously, it's a big loss for Montreal which has alternated wins and losses since he went down against the Hurricanes. Markov injured the same knee during last year's playoffs which had him sidelined for the first month of this season.
