It appears only your GPU and CPU are abnormally hot. Are you running Youtube and videon on iChat?
 
nope not running youtube or videon. this has only started happening over the past few days or so with no major changes.
 
Look at the CPU usage graph. Your CPU is being fully taxed. Check activity monitor for a process eating all your CPU cycles.
 
There is nothing wrong woth your macbook, get used to it and live with it. FFS.
