I was doing a trace route from my machine to a particular website through windows xp, and I noticed some private IP addresses showing up in the trace, so I am just wondering why would 10.*.*.* ip address show up on the internet, I have never seen that before.

Probably you didnt exit your own network. Can u post the trace report.

It is also possible that he went through some providers network where router interfaces as you transit the AS are configured with 10.*.*.* addresses.

these two private addresses 10.100.0.133, 10.16.150.1 are showing up after the public ip address.

It looks like the 10.x.x.x addresses are from your ISP. Many ISP's use the 10.0.0.0 /8 range internally and for management purposes, and as long as it isn't advertised outside their own network there's no problem. If you do a trace towards yourself from a looking glaas those hops should show up with time-outs.
It's not neat to do it this way, as customers cannot use the private IP space those routers are in, but if it is a consumer ISP rather than a business ISP it rearely causes problems as most consumers use the 192.168.x.x private ranges.
