For those of you that live under a rock, let me bring you up to speed on The Beast. We've been following Anthony Chapman since he first hit the Tampa area business scene as a young adult, but for the last ten years he hasn't given us much to gossip about.

All that came to a screeching halt yesterday when Anthony threatened to burn down the hospital if they didn't let him in to see his wife. Betsy Chapman had just given birth to their sixth child and, per our sources, things hadn't gone as smoothly as they had the previous five times. Due to the complications, Anthony was asked to leave the delivery room. He did so, but after just twenty minutes of no word about the condition of his wife and child, he demanded re-entry. When they didn't respond to his demands fast enough, he threatened three nurses, punched one doctor, and practically brought the roof down with his yelling. Finally, though, he was allowed in and I'm pleased to announce that mom and baby number six are doing just fine. Word is that there won't be any more Chapman babies after that one, but that could be just hearsay.

For those of you who haven't been following Anthony Chapman, like we have, let us bring you into the fold. Anthony used to be Tampa's most prominent businessman. He became a ruthless shark after the death of his first fiancé and child. Anthony then got married ten years ago and had baby number one before their first anniversary. Do we blame Mrs. Chapman for not being able to keep her hands off her gorgeous husband? Absolutely not!

Since getting married, Anthony stepped out of his business suits and took up surfing for a while. Once he mastered the surfboard, he began doing mostly charity work. He started a youth program to help young people get college scholarships and it's now become the most popular charity in the state of Florida. It's a complete left-turn from what he used to do with his time and money.

As always, we'll continue to keep you up to date with the latest gossip, but don't look for too much on Anthony Chapman. His pretty wife must be a miracle-worker because she seems to have tamed The Beast.
