It’s official! Anna Kournikova has signed on to join ‘The Biggest Loser’ next season! Three current trainers on the show, however, will not be back for season 12.

Producers have confirmed that the 29-year-old tennis star will join the show as a celebrity trainer. Current trainers Jillian Michaels, Brett Hoebel and Cara Castronuova will NOT be returning.

Exec. producer Todd Lubin tells New York Magazine the decision to hire Anna was all part of an effort to reboot the show for it’s 12th season.

We’re “getting slightly away from just the tape measure, and getting into overall well being and health. That’s where Loser needs to go” explains Lubin.

He continues … “She grew up with very little in Moscow, pounding tennis balls every day when she was 5. That’s the drive she’s bringing to the show.”

What do you think about this new lineup? Will you miss the old trainers?

So, ‘The Biggest Loser’ will be getting a true winner next season… Anna Kournikova!

Anna will be replacing Jillian Michaels, who announced her departure from the hit show in order to focus on family.

Anna is no stranger to fitness. At 15, the tennis champion made her debut in the US Open and was named ESPN’s Hottest Female Athlete in 2002. The talented tennis player is expected to really “serve up” her expertise for the contestants of next season’s fitness challenge.

An official announcement regarding Anna’s role on The Biggest Loser is expected after the show’s season finale on Tuesday, May 24, PopEater reports.

What do you guys think? I totally dig Anna as the new host for the show!!

Anna Kournikova and Enrique Iglesias are sighted prior to Enrique’s performance for his Euphoria Tour at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casinos’ Hard Rock Live in Hollywood.

Enrique has been nominated for 14 awards (!?) at the 22nd Annual Billboard Latin Music Awards.

He’s up for Artist of the Year, Album of the Year, Pop Album of the Year, Hot Latin Songs Artist of the Year, and Male and Hot Latin Song of the Year, among others.

So are they engaged or not? The private couple remains quiet. Wedding rumours began circulating when Anna was pictured with a huge diamond ring on her engagement finger (same one as above), but the Enrique says walking down the aisle is not on his To Do list:

‘Oh no. I don’t think it’s the right thing to do. A lot of people think that I’m against marriage, but you can be happy with someone without being married.’

Back in June, when Anna was asked if they were planning to wed, she said ‘Not really, no. We’re fine. What’s the point if you’re happy anyway? Being eight years down the line it’s more than some married couples now.’

The couple met on the set of Enrique’s music video Escape in 2002.

Tennis star Anna Kournikova’s mother has been arrested in Florida and charged with child neglect.

A Palm Beach police report says 46-year-old Alla Kournikova left her five-year-old son home alone while she ran errands Tuesday. Someone passing by the home found the boy and called police.

The boy told police he jumped out a second-storey window, but was not seriously injured.

Police said Alla Kournikova locked the home with a deadbolt and officers had to get inside through the second-storey window.

She was released from the Palm Beach County Jail after posting US$3,000 in bail.

Online records and the police report did not list a lawyer. A phone number listed for an Alla Kournikova in Palm Beach has been disconnected.
