Tiger Woods

[GoldenFleece]

There was just a segment about this on CNN a few minutes ago. The reporter in Florida was talking to an officer and seemed somewhat suspicious of Elin's rescue by golf club. The officer said he didn't know if she had the golf club with her at the time or if she went back to the house to get it (in that case, why wouldn't she just get the keys, the reporter wondered). TMZ says Elin turned away the Florida Highway Patrol when they came calling today because Tiger was sleeping, but they'll try again tomorrow.

AH, to be a celebrity. It must be nice to destroy civic property(fire hydrant), damage your neighbours property(tree) and then when law enforcement comes to your door asking to explain yourself, the hot wife just turns them away and law enforcement says, fine we are sorry to bother you.

If he wasn't driving under the influence, then I guess I could see why the police would go away for the time being.

That he wasn't under the influence makes the idea of hitting a fire hydrant sound less .....sketchy to me I guess.

The beating down the window with a golf club sounds weird (which makes whatever happened before that between them privately sound kind of problematic, but I guess that's their issue to deal with). But the lack of driving under the influence makes Tiger's actual driving case sound less weird or....not really repugnant to me. Because the driving mistake was the result of driver error rather than because he stupidly stuck something into his body I feel less likely to judge the driving case so harshly.

According to TMZ[/color], the initial story is indeed untrue and his wife attacked him and bashed the car out of anger related to the cheating stories.

Elin isn't the sweet Swiss miss I mistook her for. Still don't know if the cheating stories are true or not, but she obviously had had enough.

Whatever, beating up on your spouse is just not cool. If Tiger had smacked Elin I doubt anyone would care rather or not the cheating stories were true - he'd be labeled a wife beater and that would be that.

She may or may not be sweet, but she's never been Swiss. She's Swedish.

I couldn't agree more. Scratching someone's face is sickening. Chasing after them with a golf club is insane. Even if he cheated (and I say this as someone who's been cheated on in the past), it still doesn't give her license to lash out violently. I don't care if she "had enough". Call your lawyer and deal with it like a human being, not a rabid badger.

Blackbook talks to Rachel Uchitel the alleged other woman

Back in October, Star magazine had a story claiming a source told them Uchitel had a months long steamy affair this year with David Boreanaz (Buffy/Angel/Bones fame) that started in may and ended in September. I wouldn't be surprised if the same source is this Samson person.

Rachel Uchitel is an accomplished nightclub VIP operations manager who's gotten rather famous, rather suddenly. In a bombshell National Enquirer story that's yet to appear online, a young lady from Las Vegas named Ashley Samson alleges that Uchitel, a friend of hers, has been enjoying a months-long affair with decidedly married pro golfer Tiger Woods; tabloids even speculate that Woods' car accident this morning occurred after he fought with wife Elin Nordegren over the revelations. The media's going nuts over the scandal, so we called Uchitel and asked for her side of the story. "I've had better days," she began.

On the merits, it seems a little implausible that someone who makes a living serving the nightlife needs of celebs (see her VIP lowdown on New York’s Griffin lounge) would be so comically indiscreet. For now, Uchitel is keeping more mum than she could be on the advice of counsel, but she did have a few choice points to make:

● “I don’t appreciate my name or what people think of me being dragged through the mud by people who don’t even bother to research what or who they’re talking about ... they should research who these stories are coming from, who they’re believing as a credible source. Not to mention that it’s in the National Enquirer.”
● “I totally deny the Enquirer story. They did contact me about it, but they didn’t use any of my quotes or any of the information I gave them. They make it sound like I said those things, but it’s all other people saying I said things.”
● On the story’s report that she followed Woods to Australia and was observed checking into his hotel and riding the elevator to the 35th floor, where Woods had a suite: “There’s just no possible way I could have done that. You can’t just walk into a place like that and ride the elevator to a floor with someone like Tiger Woods on it without someone seeing you and stopping you.”
● On allegedly sending racy text messages to Woods: “If you talked to any of my old boyfriends, and I’m sure they all hate me, but they’d all confirm that I don’t sex-message. I don’t do it, I don’t know how to do it.”
● On Ashley Samson, the “close friend” of Uchitel’s who provided all the information to the Enquirer, along with another unnamed source, both of whom supposedly “passed” a polygraph: “I’ve met her twice in my life. We’re not friends. I’m just speculating but it seems like someone else is telling her what to say or manipulating her. After all, she got $25,000 for this.”

it will be interesting to see if we ever get the real story. I am going to withold my trust in TMZ for the moment, as they are not exactly a newsworthy source in my opinion. At least until I see more evidence.
I was surprised to see that they had already been married 5 years.
