The supermodel turned TV host surprised everyone by flashing a dazzling rock on her wedding ring finger (pictured). As Tyra accepted the Emmy for best informative talk show, she simultaneously sparked speculation that she's engaged.

Tyra, 35, has been dating 50-year-old business mogul John Utendahl (pictured) for 2 years now. When wedding rumors started flying, she took to Twitter to set the record straight. 'Hearing about crazy rumors that I'm engaged,' she wrote. 'Well, I'm not. The "RING" is my high school class ring.'

Tennis Anyone?

I have been wanting to play tennis all summer long. My friends and I keep making plans to play, but the heat has prevented us from rallying. Now that the U.S. Open is beginning, I'm motivated again to hit the court.

Top Tennis Searches on AOL Search:
1. Tennis shoes
2. Tennis racquets
3. Tennis clothes
4. Tennis magazine
5. Tennis camp
6. How to play tennis
7. Tennis lessons
8. Tennis ball
9. Tennis net
10. Tennis courts

My service and backhands are very rusty, so to prepare myself for a match, I decided to see what must-have tennis gear and knowledge everyone was searching for. Check out our list.

I was surprised to see that tennis shoes were the most searched. Those are the least of my worries when stepping on the tennis court. If you need a good pair of tennis sneakers, check out our list of the top searched sneakers on AOL. You can also visit AOL Shopping for tennis clothing (number 3) like tennis skirts, tennis visors and tennis tanks. The right apparel will make a set move so much faster thanks to specialty pockets for holding tennis balls (number 8).

I'm a novice tennis player, so the most important search for me is how to play tennis (number 6). The sport has its own set of jargon different than any other sport, which makes it easy to forget terms like ad-in, love and double fault. As always, you can find tennis rules and advice on playing on AOL Search.

If you aren't one for chasing the tennis ball around the court, sit back and watch the pros do it at the 2009 U.S. Open. The action starts August 31 and will continue until September 13.

Do you have any handy tennis tips? Let us know! Search for more about tennis on AOL Search and get the latest tennis news on Fanhouse.

Pots & Pans

In the past, I wasn’t a big fan of cooking meals. But, ever since I got a new set of cookware, I can’t get out of the kitchen. My new set is perfect for my purposes. Now, I love scanning through recipes looking for something new to cook.

Top Searched Cookware on AOL Search:
1. Le Creuset Cookware
2. Calphalon Cookware
3. All Clad Cookware
4. Rachael Ray Cookware
5. Paula Deen Cookware
6. Cuisinart Cookware
7. Wolfgang Puck Cookware
8. Swiss Diamond Cookware
9. Mauviel Copper Cookware
10. T-Fal Cookware

Having the proper set of cookware will make your life so much easier. Once you have enough saucepans, stock pots, fry pans, saute pans and lids, you will be able to cook up delicious meals in a flash without having to stop and wash pans every time you need a new one.

When shopping for cookware, consider what material you want: copper, aluminum, stainless steel, Teflon type products or cast iron. Each have their pros and cons, but the choice it yours. Copper cookware is great for cooking because copper is a natural conductor of heat, however it can’t go in the dishwasher. On the other hand, Teflon cookware is non-stick and very easy to clean. Cast iron cookware has been in use for centuries and is great for frying and baking. If not taken care of properly, cast iron will rust. If you are concerned about that, I would recommend stainless steel cookware. Though it doesn’t heat up as evenly, it is durable and doesn’t scratch easily.

Now that I am cooking light meals at home more often than eating out, I feel much healthier. I am even thinking of going to cooking school or taking some cooking classes for fun!

What cookware do you use? Tell us about it! You can search for more info about cookware and get great cooking tips on AOL Search.
