Tiger and the Other Woman Both Speak Out

There was much talk about the single-car accident that Tiger Woods was in but there had been up to that point, very little talk from Tiger regarding the alleged affair between Tiger and Rachel Uchitel, a woman that is not his wife, Elin. Tiger has now given a statement regarding the car crash and he seems to be apologizing for any ill-doing in his marriage, while actually apologizing and taking responsibility for the accident. It’s a clever way to do it because he says what he wants to say but doesn’t actually broach the subject of the affair. He also tries to make Elin come off sounding really good, which was unnecessary in my opinion, but still nice. There’s much talk on Tiger’s part about how she was brave to come to his rescue and how she was to blame for none of it. From US,

“After canceling again on a meeting with Florida Highway Patrol troopers Sunday, Tiger Woods has released a statement on his website about Friday’s car accident and the injuries he sustained. Woods, 33, says, “the only person responsible for this accident is me. My wife, Elin, acted courageously when she saw I was hurt and in trouble. She was the first person to help me. Any other assertion is absolutely false.”

The golfer remains vague about certain details about the night, and about ongoing allegations of his affair with Rachel Uchitel. The full statement is below:

“As you all know, I had a single-car accident earlier this week, and sustained some injuries. I have some cuts, bruising and right now I’m pretty sore.

This situation is my fault, and it’s obviously embarrassing to my family and me. I’m human and I’m not perfect. I will certainly make sure this doesn’t happen again.

This is a private matter and I want to keep it that way. Although I understand there is curiosity, the many false, unfounded and malicious rumors that are currently circulating about my family and me are irresponsible.

The only person responsible for the accident is me. My wife, Elin, acted courageously when she saw I was hurt and in trouble. She was the first person to help me. Any other assertion is absolutely false.

This incident has been stressful and very difficult for Elin, our family and me. I appreciate all the concern and well wishes that we have received. But, I would also ask for some understanding that my family and I deserve some privacy no matter how intrusive some people can be.”

So it seems that Tiger really is the great guy that we thought he was and that he made a big mistake. A big one. Even if it was only one night, it was a big mistake. And I’m starting to think more and more that there is something to those rumors especially seeing as how Tiger and his wife are having out-of-control, golf club-swinging fights, public fights.

But Rachel Uchitel is claiming differently. And her friends are claimingdifferently even than that. Rachel is saying that there was never anything going on between her and Tiger. Meanwhile, her ‘friends’ are saying that that’s not true. And that in fact, Rachel is often attaching herself to big celebrity names. People is reporting on how Rachel has hired herself a celebrity lawyer (no doubt) and that she doesn’t want the attention that this affair, which never even happened, has caused. From People,

“The so-called “other woman” who supposedly sparked Tiger Woods’s accident has hired a high-profile celebrity lawyer and issued an adamant denial about any relationship with the golfing champ.

“I did not have any involvement with him [Woods],” Rachel Uchitel told E! News. “Whatever was written in the Enquirer was not said by me, it was said by two people that claimed they were friends of mine, but they’re not.”

She added: “I am overwhelmed, so I hired Gloria Allred to handle the situation. I don’t want to get this much attention, and I wish everybody would leave me alone.”

Sources contradict Uchitel’s account, however, saying she’s claimed flings not only with Woods but with actor David Boreanaz, and that her mother has told friends her daughter has dated New York Yankee players Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez.

“She is a fun party girl; she was definitely into celebrities,” a source tells PEOPLE. “She’s into being around famous people. Her job was to rack up VIP clientele. She is a flirtatious girl.”

I pretty much take Rachel’s word for nothing because it’s a simple case of she-said, she-said nonsense. But I do put quite a bit of stock in Tiger and Elin’s relationship. Yes, I understand that all married couples fight and they just happen to be under a microscope, particularly right now. But, they had an argument that was big enough to make Tiger drive himself into a tree. That’s over something pretty big. Big like, affair big.

Apparently We Thought Reese and Jake Had Split Up. But They Haven’t.

I don’t like the fact that there are rumors floating around that Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal have split up one bit! I didn’t even hear about rumors of these two being in trouble until I read a denial of the rumor from Reese’s camp. Apparently, the two are fine and the rumors are not true. But I don’t know. Once rumors start, usually sooner or later with things like this, they turn out being true a couple of months down the road. And the two have been pretty quiet about their relationship, up until just lately. I had thought that was a sign that they really were starting to become very, very serious and so, ready to start showing that love more. Hopefully, I’m right and this really is just an ugly rumor. From US,

“Contrary to reports elsewhere Sunday, Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal have not broken up. A rep for Witherspoon, 33, tells Usmagazine.com: “It’s not true. They have not split.”

The actress met Gyllenhaal, 28, while filming 2007’s Rendition, and the pair stepped out together, confirming their relationship in summer 2008.

In the April 2009 issue of Elle, the actress gushed about Gyllenhaal. “He’s fabulous. He really is a fantastic guy.”

Witherspoon divorced actor Ryan Phillippe in 2007 after eight years together; they have two children: Ava, 10, and Deacon, 6. After two years together, Gyllenhaal and girlfriend Kirsten Dunst called it quits in 2004.

Witherspoon told Parade magazine last year, “Things change..But your ability to love remains intact. Oh, I have a lot of hope for love! I do!”

Reese does always seem so positive and hopeful, doesn’t she? Even when she was going through that nasty divorce with that nasty Phillipe. But I really hope that any rumors of Reese and Jake really are just rumors that they are laughing away together. I love these two together so much and it seems as though they’ve worked really hard, and really slowly, at making their relationship what it is. And Reese really was gushing about him just last month. So who knows. But I’m keeping my fingers crossed for these two.

First Pics of Heidi and Seal’s New Baby!

Even though I still can’t quite swallow the name Lou for a girl, I can’t deny that the sweetness in this face is all girl! How pretty is this picture of Mom and her new baby girl? Of course, you could stand Heidi Klum next to a sack of potatoes and it would be a stunning picture. But put her next to such a gorgeous little face and well, nuff said. Lou Samuel, the new daughter of Heidi Klum and Seal is almost two months old and Heidi posted this first picture of Lou on her website. So pretty! Thanks for giving us the pic, Heidi, and thanks to Bump Shack for finding it for us.

Things Get Ugly Between Tiger and His Wife

Well it seems the whole news of this affair isn’t something silly that Tiger Woods and his wife, Elin Nordegren, are blowing off. We have all heard by now of the big car accident that Tiger got into that was said to have caused the scratches on his face. Turns out, the car accident was the least of his problems and the scratches on his face were actually caused by his wife. Yes, minutes before Tiger drove his SUV into a tree, his wife had chased him out of the driveway, screaming and swinging a golf club around all the while. So apparently, there is something to those rumors after all.

Elin was obviously embarrassed over her actions (or worried that they could land her in legal hot water) because her story was that she came out of the house, saw the accident, and then went back in to get the golf club so she could help Tiger. Yeah, a likely story. TMZ is all over this Tiger Woods story and here’s this bit,

“Tiger Woods’ wife, Elin Nordegren, changed the story she told the first officer on the scene, according to law enforcement sources.

The Windemere Police Department says Tiger’s wife went outside, saw that her husband had struck a fire hydrant and a tree, and then went back inside the house for a golf club to use to try and extricate him from the vehicle. But we’ve learned Nordegren told a very different story to the Florida Highway Patrol, and it does not involve going back in the house for a club. Our sources will not allow us to be more specific.

And we’ve learned there was no blood found on the steering wheel of Tiger’s SUV — putting into serious doubt that Tiger sustained his injuries from the crash.

As we first reported, Tiger had a conversation with a friend yesterday, in which he said his wife had confronted him over reports he was involved with another woman … and that his wife scratched his face up during the argument. Tiger told the friend he then left the house, started driving off and his wife then came out with a golf club, striking the vehicle. Tiger then became distracted and hit the hydrant and then a nearby tree.

We’re told cops will interview Tiger and his wife later today.

UPDATE: A neighbor tells TMZ they saw cops show up at Tiger’s house this morning — only to get turned away again. Tiger’s wife, Elin, was spotted (below) driving out of the Isleworth subdivision in Windermere earlier today.”

Oh be careful, those in Isleworth! That is a very, very scorned woman behind the wheel! I don’t think she should be embarrassed. It’s actually the least she can do after her husband publicly humiliated her like that. And it’s nice to see that sometimes even those living under the microscope have human reactions sometimes. I get so sick of the “we’re dealing with this privately” and “could not be reached for comment.” I realize it’s necessary much of the time but every so often, it’s nice to see something that’s just so genuinely real. And the fact that she made Tiger drive himself smack into a tree is a nice touch too.

Gerard Butler Has Daddy Issues

I like Gerard Butler less and less. I’m not much of one for womanizers to begin with, and I see absolutely no appeal to Gerard so, it makes even less sense to me. Being linked with names like Jennifer Aniston, Cheryl Burke, and Cameron Diaz, it’s widely known that Gerard Butler truly does like to explore his options. And then while filming Law Abiding Citizen, apparently he couldn’t get along with Jamie Foxx, because Foxx kept sneaking away to Vegas. I guess Gerard was upset that Jamie would get to those women before he could. But just about everything I’ve heard about Gerard Butler has put him in a dim light. Now it seems, there’s a reason behind his actions, or at least all of the field-playing. And Gerard tells us, it’s because his dad left him at a very young age.

Apparently, Gerard’s dad left him when Gerard was just two and having grown up without a father, he’s now a commitment-phobe. Oh, give me a break. I’m so sick and tired of men (and women too) blaming everything on how they were raised and that’s why they have so many issues. Grow up and own what ya got, people. We’re all adults now. From Digital Spy,

“Gerard Butler has reportedly admitted that he has commitment problems.

The Law Abiding Citizen star, who recently said that rumours about his love life are harming his reputation, has insisted that his issues with women stem from his father not being around.

The 40-year-old told Joy magazine: “I act very awkward when I am with women. Perhaps that’s because my mother brought me up alone. My father gambled away all our money and eventually went bankrupt.

“So one night our family had to flee head-over-heels to Canada. At that time, my mother was five months pregnant with me. Shortly after my second birthday, my father let us down. It is said that men who grow up without a father have a fear of commitment.”

Butler also revealed that he needs to find the right woman first to start a family, saying: “It’s about time. But a woman by my side would be very helpful in this project.”

I also love how he’s looking for a woman, not because he wants to share that kind of love with someone, or because he knows there’s someone out there just for him, but because he needs a baby-machine. And the reason why he needs a baby-machine? Well, because it’s about time. Another really great reason to have a child. And an even better reason to find someone to have that child for you.

Seriously, is this guy for real? Can anyone really be that bad at interviews? And why women all over the world going gaga over Gerard Butler? Well, it beats me. But I never got that whole Russell Crowe thing either.

Are Amy and Blake Re-Engaged?

I hate to say “re-engaged” because, I’m not quite sure whether or not Amy Winehouse and Blake Fielder-Civil were ever engaged in the first place or if they just got married the first time during some really bad trip. But, if they got engaged the first time, then rumors are that they may be engaged again. And if they were engaged, well, you get the idea. Yes, rumors are going around that Amy Winehouse is engaged and that her fiance is none other than her ex-husband, Blake Fielder-Civil. My, my, Amy’s been a busy girl between breast implants that exploded shortly afterwards and reconnecting with the old flame that took her down the crazy road of severe drug addiction.

I don’t know if these rumors are true. I don’t know if Amy and Blake are back together. And I certainly don’t know if they are planning on getting remarried. But dear lord, I hope not. Here’s what Celebrity Dirty Laundry says about it,

“Amy Winehouse leaves the clinic in which she has been residing to go for a stroll with a few bodyguards in London, UK on November 24, 2009. Rumors have been circulating that the troubled songstress is to remarry her ex-husband Blake Fielder Civil, and judging from the engagement ring she was sporting, there is some truth to the rumors!”

If there is any truth to these rumors, I can just imagine how upset her parents are by it. And how upset the rest of us will be by it. Just to be clear, thepicture above is one of the pics snapped by paparazzi as Amy left the clinic and this picture is a close-up of the giant rock she was sporting. I don’t know, is that a giant rock? Is it an engagement ring? Do you think it’s possible that Amy and Blake are doing more than bumping uglies again? Or is it all just a big publicity stunt on Amy’s part now that her whole breast explosion thing has blown over?

Is Tiger Woods Really a Big, Fat Cheater?

Stories have been going around just within the past couple of days that Tiger Woods is having, or at least was having, an affair with some Rachel woman that is making ludicrous claims against Tiger. According to Rachel Uchitel, aka. Homewrecker, Tiger Woods is in love with her and ready to leave his wife to have a life with Rachel. When I first heard the story, I have to say, it was something I dismissed right away as pure tabloid trash. Then I looked into it a little bit and I have to say, I think no differently after finding out same facts.

This Rachel woman seems to have some pretty strong feelings for Tiger and I’m pretty sure that Tiger does not have them in return. I think maybe, maybe, on some level, it could be possible that Tiger had one night with this woman and it’s just gone completely to hell. I hate to say even that much because Tiger does seem like a very decent person to me. But the fact that he’s kinda sorta acknowledging the fact that he does know this woman at all, makes me think that there might be more here than what we’re hearing. But the whole thing just gets really weird and that’s why I think, this Rachel woman’s train might have gone off the track a long time ago. She ends up looking, not like a used and hurt woman like she’s trying to, but a crazed and jealous stalker person who doesn’t want Tiger seeing other women. What?!? He’s married!! He’s going to see another woman every single day! So, my take on the whole thing is that he probably did have “relations” with this woman, and she took it for way, way more than what it was. Way more. From Times Live,

“Another popular sports star is involved in rumours of having cheated on his wife, and this time it’s not David Beckham nor is it Joost van der Westhuizen but its golfing star Tiger Woods.

In a exlcusive spread in the National Enquirer’s December issue, the tabloid is breaking news that say Woods is “a big, fat cheater”.

In their report they claim he’s cheating on his former model wife of six years Elin Norgegren, who is also the mother of his two children. Their sources who are friends of “the other woman”.

The other woman is also revealed in the story as the events planner Rachel Uchitel, the same woman that Bones star David Boreanaz alleged had an affair with when his wife was pregnant earlier this year.

THE ENQUIRER WROTE:

Rachel told friends that her liaison with Tiger began in June in New York and has “played out in Los Angeles, Las Vegas and Australia.”

Friends say Rachel told them she and Tiger stay in touch by phone and texting.

“I’m sure Tiger thinks Rachel is staying quiet about their affair, but she’s told lots of people,” says Ashley Samson, a close friend of Rachel’s. Samson also passed a polygraph test.

“Rachel told me, ‘I’m having an affair with Tiger Woods. We’re in love!’ She even read me text messages Tiger sent her that said ‘I love you, babe. It’s always going to be just you and me.’”

More from Samson, who sounds like she has some kind ax to grind: “I’m shocked that Rachel would be so casual about an affair that could break up Tiger’s family. It’s crazy.”

Rachel was alleged boning David Boreanaz and Tiger around the same time, from June through August, when she broke it off with Boreanaz. Allegedly.

Another friend of Rachel’s (who also passed a polygraph) says: “They were constantly sexting. Tiger asked what she was wearing, what did she want him to do to her, what did she want to do to him. I reminded Rachel that he was married, and she said ‘Big f-cking deal! It’s Tiger Woods! I don’t care about his wife! We’re in love.’ Her nickname for Tiger is Bear.”

Rachel traveled to Australia to have a secret tryst with Tiger/Bear while he was playing the Australian Masters. An Enquirer reporter watched Rachel check in to Tiger’s hotel, and watched her elevator go up to the 35th floor, where Tiger had a VIP suite.

When Rachel was contacted by the Enquirer about the tryst, she first lied about her reasons for being there, and about having another boyfriend, but later said she was in Australia “for business”. However, she says that she and Tiger met on two other occasions.

Rachel: “I don’t want to be somebody’s number two. I don’t want to be with a married man.”

Tiger’s lawyer told the Enquirer that Tiger may have met Rachel in a club at some point, but “vehemently denied an affair”.

Rachel’s friends claim she bitched and whined about the Enquirer tracking her on her Australian tryst, and that she complained “I only got to spend one day with Tiger!”

Rachel’s friends also claim she’s given up dating other men and is seeing Tiger exclusively. Rachel also claims to her friends that she’s a “one-man woman with Tiger” and that Tiger tells her “I want to go to bed with you every night and wake up to you every morning.” To which Rachel replies: “You can’t – you have a wife and two kids.” Tiger replies: “I’ll fix that!”

Tiger and Rachel fight because she thinks he’s seeing other women. Not his wife. Rachel also thinks, according to her friends, that Tiger is about to leave his wife for her.”

Seriously, the fact that she stopped seeing other men because she was dating Tiger is just so ludicrous to me that it indicates this woman has some serious mental health issues. But then I do understand that lots of people who are dating married people are under the delusion that their boyfriend or girlfriend is going to leave their spouse for them. In a way, I feel badly for Tiger. Just goes to show that money really can’t buy you everything, like a perfect marriage. And on the other hand, I don’t feel bad for him. Anyone who would cheat on their family, even just once, is just scum.

Sienna and Jude Hook Back Up

I don’t understand why Sienna Miller and Jude Law ever broke up. They were perfect together. He was happy being Jude Law and not giving two pahooties what anyone had to say about it. And she was happy being Sienna Miller and ‘dating the cute boy’ while she tried to rise to fame herself. She did quite well for herself. She’s more known for her tawdry romantic relationships than she is her acting capabilities. But now it seems that since they’re both single, they may as well start hooking up again for old time’s sake. These two are both so wrong that somehow together, they just seem right. From New York Daily News,

“Jude Law and Sienna Miller have been insisting that they’re “just friends,” but they certainly looked like more than pals during the wee hours of Thursday night.

The former lovebirds arrived together at The Box after their respective Broadway performances – Jude is starring in “Hamlet” and Sienna is lighting up the stage in “After Miss Julie” – and a spy at the lower East Side hot spot saw the two get more and more cozy as the night wore on.

“They came in together and got a table with a few friends around 1 a.m.,” the source dished. “At one point, Jude ordered shots for the two of them, and he was egging her on to take one. They were laughing a lot and whispering to each other – it looked like they were genuinely having a good time.”

And perhaps Jude’s former lady love will make the notorious playboy settle down again – our spy continued that although several females approached the table to get the actor’s attention, he only had eyes for Sienna.

“Jude’s a regular at The Box and a lot of people know him there,” the source said. “So he had a ton of people coming up to say hi to him, many of them female, but he really only seemed interested in Sienna.”

So much so, in fact, that at one point he brought the actress to meet another group of friends, and led her through the crowded club by the hand.

“It looked like he wanted people to see that they were together,” the partygoer dished.

Reps for Law have previously admitted that although they have indeed seen each other while living in New York, no romance has been rekindled.

But our source begs to differ.

“They certainly looked like more than just friends,” the spy insisted, noting that they both disappeared around 3:30 a.m.”

So I guess now the question is, does anyone really care? Both Jude Law and Sienna Miller are such schmarmy, trampy people that I don’t think it shocks nor interests anyone no matter what they do. I have never been a big fan of Sienna Miller’s, and before Jude Law proved himself to be a complete scumbag by knocking up random women and then not stepping up, I still didn’t have much interest in him. So yes, there is a real possibility that these two have plans to hook back up.  Let the drama begin.

Mike Fisher and Carrie Underwood Both New at Relationships

So maybe the secret to a high-profile relationship is it stemming from two people who are very low-profile in their past dating relationships? So seems to be the case with Mike Fisher and Carrie Underwood, who have been very public about their relationship lately. Carrie has been showing up more and more often at Senators games and she also included a line on her new album, Play On to him, telling him outright that she loved him. Mike in response seems to be going with blushing and indirectly telling us that he feels exactly the same way about her. These two are just so cute it kills me!

And even though they do seem to love each other very much, neither of them are seriously thinking about marriage or moving in together at this point. Mike has both denied it and Carrie has made it very clear that her old fashioned values go farther than just into her songs. So even though I think we will see these two get married someday, it won’t be any day soon. From US,

“He’s a star hockey player for the Ottawa Senators today, but Mike Fisher might be turning over a new leaf: recording artist!

After his girlfriend Carrie Underwood wrote “I love you” to him in her new album’s liner notes, the 29 year-old athlete jokes, “I told her that when my CD came out, I’d return the favor.”

In an interview with the Toronto Sun, Fisher poo-poos marriage talk but admits that Underwood, 26, is only his second “serious girlfriend.”

“There has been only one other girlfriend, really,” he says. “It lasted a while, but it was a long time ago.”

Similarly, Underwood recently told Ellen DeGeneres that her one-year relationship with Fisher is “the longest relationship I’ve had.”

In the Play On liner notes, Underwood coos of Fisher. “You make my life better in every way! I thank God for you every day.”

“Obviously, it was very nice,” Fisher tells the Toronto Sun of the tribute. “I was happy she included me in something like that.”

Stressing their need for privacy, Fisher acknowledges, “we’re both happy with the way things are . . . I’m obviously happy . . .things are great off the ice.”

Last week on Ellen, Underwood stressed that they have no plans to move in together. “Call me old fashioned,” she said. “The next guy I move in with will be my hubby. Who ever that is. I’m not saying it’s going to be him.”

Sigh. These two make my heart pitter patter.

Drew and Justin are in Trouble

In the on-again/off-again relationship that is Drew Barrymore and Justin Long, the current status is currently on-again, but it’s looking like it’s about to be off at any moment. We didn’t hear too much about these two after they got back together earlier this year but now, rumors are that these two are headed for Splitsville. Apparently, Justin moved in with Drew and Drew can’t tolerate his slovenly ways. I don’t know whether or not this is true, I hadn’t even heard that they had moved in together (not that that means anything really.) But when they broke up last summer, rumors were also that it was because Drew had taken back to drinking and partying. And clearly, that wasn’t true. So whether or not these rumors are true, I don’t know. This is the story from Star,

“It’s back to the bachelor pad for Justin Long! The “I’m a Mac” guy was booted from girlfriend Drew Barrymore’s four-bedroom Hollywood Hills home in early November, Star has learned.

And though the two are still dating for now, their relationship could be in danger if he doesn’t clean up. “Drew really had it with being Justin’s babysitter at home,” says a source. “And it’s not just that he made a mess, it’s his attitude. He gets mopey and is a big-time couch potato. She isn’t thrilled about seeing this side of him.”

Problems surfaced almost as soon as the pair — who first sparked in summer 2007, split a year later and reconnected last spring — began living together in August. “Drew hadn’t figured Justin to be a slob, but he started acting like a frat boy and left his stuff all over the place and never straightened up after himself,” says the source. “It drove her nuts!”

Drew, 34, finally had enough of the chaotic living situation. But she wasn’t quite ready to call it quits entirely. “She gently told Justin that things would be better between them if he moved back to his own place,” says the source. “Then it would be special when they’re together — they wouldn’t feel like an old married couple.”

The good news? Justin, 31, is trying to change his ways. “It was really the wake up call he needed,” says the source. “He knows Drew’s a great girl. He’s going to do everything he can to make her happy.”

I understand that Justin would do anything to make her happy. But, to think that you can move in with someone, not be able to work it out, and have one person need to leave, and still think that the relationship is going to last, is just plain wrong to me. Going forward is a huge deal. But if you need to go backward after that, it spells trouble. Sadly, if this rumor is true, I don’t think we’ll see these two go through another on-again phase. I think you can only try so many times. But I hope it’s not true. I love Drew and Justin together. And hopefully, they’re at home right now laughing off the current rumors.
