Bobby Fischer, the iconoclastic genius who was one of the greatest chess players the world has ever seen, has died, a close family friend, Gardar Sverrisson, confirmed Friday.

She has a hit television show, a pair of platinum albums and a concert tour in which shows sell out in minutes and scalpers are selling $60 tickets for more than $1,000 on eBay.

The former Beatle has spent the past three years putting together the show, which will mark the 10th anniversary of her death.

While her boyfriend Zac Efron is in the hospital recovering from an emergency appendectomy, Vanessa Hudgens spent the day with another High School Musical co-star pal.

Comic actor Eddie Murphy and his new wife Tracey Edmonds have split up just two weeks after their romantic wedding in French Polynesia, People magazine reported on Wednesday.
