Elin and Kids: Sweden for the Summer

Well, and it looks like it’s going to be longer than that, actually. Everyone knows that Elin Nordegren took her kids and flew to Sweden shortly after her cheating whore husband, Tiger Woods, played in the Masters. (I’m guessing because she was so enraged he went back to golf so soon, but that’s just me.)

It seems that may have been the final straw for Elin though, as reports now are that not only will Elin and the children remain in Sweden for the entire summer, but that Elin is divorcing Tiger, and that the children have a strong probability of staying in Elin’s hometown with her. US has details on that, as well as a pic of the second public sighting of Elin and her kids since they arrived in Sweden last month. From US,

“Tiger Woods’ adorable kids are spending some quality time in Sweden, their mother’s homeland.

On Monday, Elin Woods and her mother Barbro Holmberg were photographed carrying little girl Sam, 2, and son Charlie, 15 months, outside Holmberg’s apartment in Sweden’s ancient northern city of Gavle. The foursome were surrounded by tight security.

It’s the second public sighting of Elin since she and the kids jetted from their Orlando-area home last month. On Sunday, the 30-year-old former model went for a jog.

She plans on spending most of the summer in Sweden, an insider tells Us. (A $3 million seaside estateon the west coast is currently being renovated.) Not joining them: Sam and Charlie’s dad Tiger, 34. “The split is 100 percent happening,” the source says, adding that Elin and Holmberg “met with the lawyer” to discuss divorce plans before arriving in Sweden.

“She knew she’d set a bad example for the kids if she stayed,” adds the insider.

Tiger, meanwhile, “isn’t trying to keep her anymore,” says the source. “He’s so defeated.”

Well I’m glad that someone’s thinking of the children. And Elin may win back a tiny bit of my respect, and my sympathy, if she decided to leave Tiger once and for all. And as for this Tiger being defeated business, for one I could care less. And I’d also bet that it’s not so much that he’s defeated, as much as it is that he wants to go back hopping into bed with every woman he sees.

Jesse James Seeks Sex Addiction Counseling

Remember when we told you that Jesse James had been pulled by over by a Californian police officer while on his way to Arizona? Apparently, Jesse was headed to sex rehab, where he is currently seeking sex addiction counseling. All of this in an effort to win back the love of Sandra Bullock and continue on with their marriage as it once was. Can I just hear a big “Oh PUH-LEAZE!”
I’m so sick and tired of these people claiming that they have some kind of psychological “problem” that forces them to cheat on their spouses and live involved and complicated double lives. Jesse James, Tiger Woods, and Dave Duchovny are the latest celebrities to try and make up for their past discretions by “seeking outside help.” The latest on James’ attempt to do just that comes from the National Enquirer,

“Cheating Jesse James is “doing a Tiger Woods” and checking into sex rehab in a desperate attempt to win back livid wife Sandra Bullock.

“Jesse’s at his wit’s end, and he knows it’s going to take a huge gesture to win Sandy back,” said a source.

“If it means he has to grovel, then that is what he will do.

“Jesse’s doing everything he can to stop the divorce.”

The Monster Garage star has been accused of cheating on his wife with a string of younger women, including tattoo model Michelle “Bombshell” McGee.

The insider said Jesse had been researching the best sex rehab facilities in several states, and added: “He needs to act fast if he wants to turn things around. Sandra is getting angrier by the day, and his reputation is in shreds.

“Jesse’s an arrogant guy who thought he could bluff it out.

“He’s never wanted to admit to a problem, but now he’s starting to see that if he tackles the sex addiction issue head-on, his marriage may still have a chance.”

POP FYI: The Sierra Tucson rehab facility in Arizona where James is staying is the same one Sandra “went to” in her rom-com rehab flick 28 Days.”

For some reason, I just find it even more sickening that he’s visiting the same one his wife did in a film that helped make him all of those millions of dollars that she rakes in. Unlike Tea Leoni and Elin Nordegren however, Sandra’s not buying the whole “mental illness” excuse.

One of the reasons Sandra’s so angry I think, besides the fact that her husband’s a cheatin bastard, is because it came as a complete shock to her. She had no idea that Jesse was out bedding multiple women, and she actually blames herself for being away from home so often. Aw, Sandy! Please don’t turn this inward! Jesse deserves no forgiveness and he has no one to blame but himself.

Elin Will Not Support Tiger at the Masters

Okay, so I realize that none of us really knows what’s going on with Tiger Woods and Elin Nordegren. While it’s thought that the two are staying together, it’s also been believed that there were many conditions that Elin had if Tiger really wanted her to stay that badly. One of the main ones was that he was going to spend some time working on his family and trying to make whatever reparations he could to them. And that meant putting off golf for a little while.

But as we all know by now, Tiger is planning on competing in the Masters Tournament that starts in just a few days. Many people have called this another “mastermind PR move” on Tiger’s part because the Masters are very proper and no leering or jeering is allowed. But, is it really all that smart? After Elin has so graciously stayed, with the only request that Tiger be a loving husband and father, is it really all that wise for Tiger to be so concerned about his career at the moment? According to Elin, no it’s not smart at all. And reportedly, she is pissed! From Los Angeles Times,

“People.com is reporting that Elin Nordegren will not honor Tiger Woods’ request to join him in Augusta for the tournament, which runs April 8-11.

“Elin does not want to go to the Masters and is preparing for a trip to see her family and friends in Sweden,” a source close to Nordegren told People. “She is also being asked by Tiger to attend the Masters, even if for a half day, to look like she is interested in supporting his return to golf. But she would rather not be there.”

The Daily Mirror is taking the story even further, saying Nordegren was so infuriated by her husband’s decision to play in the Masters that she went to see divorce lawyers the day after he made the announcement. According to the article, which cites Nordegren’s friends as anonymous sources, the Swedish model is angered that Woods is not putting his family first as promised and has taken their children to live with friends about an hour from the family’s home in Isleworth, Fla.”

Again, I can only reiterate once again that I really, really hope that Elin divorces that douche and that this really will be the final straw. I also can’t believe that Tiger is hoping to revive his golf game once again. I know how important the Masters are, and that he probably will win and continue to act like some big hero. But secretly, I’m hoping that he’ll fall flat on his face. But Elin might want to reconsider not attending. The Augusta Hooters is hosting a bikini competition right down the street from where the tournament will be played. And with a horny bastard like Tiger Woods, that’s bound to only spell trouble.

Jesse James is a Total Dog

Jesse James just makes me sick. I truly don’t understand why men feel the need to cheat on their wives. And I really don’t see how someone could be unhappy when they’re married to Sandra Freakin Bullock. But what I don’t get is the high that Jesse seems to get from this. Like so many men before him, famous or not, Jesse didn’t just fall to the temptation of cheating on his wife once. And he even did it more than twice. The total tally for Jesse’s indiscretions currently sits at four. And I’m guessing that there are only going to be more and more women coming out from the woodwork. And not only did Jesse meet these women and then decide that he wasn’t able to resist falling into bed with them. He actually went looking for these women by taking out ads on the Internet! From US,

“A fourth woman has come forth claiming she too had an affair with Sandra Bullock’s husband Jesse James.

On Thursday, high-powered attorney Gloria Allred released a statement saying that she is representing a woman (who has chosen not to identify herself) who allegedly had an “intimate” three-year fling with James, 40.

“I represent a beautiful model and business woman,” Allred tells Entertainment Tonight. “[James] pursued her and he had strong feelings for her. She is in the process of trying to decide if she will come forward. She has proof of their relationship including hundreds of texts, emails and photos. The relationship just ended recently after the scandal broke.”

A week after Michelle McGee alleged she had an 11-month fling with James, two other women — Brigitte Daguerre and Michelle Smith– also claimed affairs.

The new Us Weekly (on newsstands now) reports that James’ infidelity has been an open secret among employees at his West Coast Choppers bike shop in Long Beach, Calif.

“Everybody knew,” one source tells Us Weekly.

James would regularly post Internet ads looking for “hot, tattooed biker chicks with big boobs,” says a source.

Adds another, “He sees their photos, answers the ads and invites the girls to his office.”

This is just way too disgusting and I can’t imagine how betrayed Sandra must feel at the moment. There are rumors that she is “in hiding” and I can’t really say I blame her. Who wants to put up with stupid questions from reporters like, “How does your husband’s cheating make you feel?” Sandra also missed the Kids’ Choice Awards last night and people were saying that she backed out of them at the last minute but her reps cleared that up by simply saying that she was never scheduled to attend. And Sandra isn’t doing well, according to reports. She’s said to be ‘devastated’ by her husband’s actions and, according to some of Sandra’s earlier words, Jesse should be scared. When giving Elin Nordegren advice before hearing of her own marital woes, Sandra was quoted as saying, “If I were Elin, man, I would have hit a lot more than she did. I would have kept hitting! I would have gotten out the baseball bat, I would have gotten out everything that I had.” And while I doubt that Sandra is about to beat the bloody hell out of Jesse James, from the sounds of it, she’s not in the mood for forgiveness at the moment.

Elin and Tiger are Under the Same Roof

I’m really going to need another celebrity to do something crazy soon because I’m getting really tired of writing about Tiger Woods. The latest news is that Elin has moved back into the house with him and that the kids are there too. And from the sounds of it, Elin is planning on staying some time. Shortly after she arrived, a moving truck came and started loading up the house. From TMZ,

“Tiger Woods is another step closer to returning to pre-scandal life — last night, Elin Nordegren and the kids spent the evening at their Isleworth mansion … where Tiger has been living for the past few days.

Sources tell TMZ Elin and the kids arrived at the home yesterday afternoon with a security team in tow — and this morning, the entire crew was still there.

We’re told the move could be permanent — after Elin arrived at the home yesterday, a large truck showed up and workers began moving stuff into the house.”

Well Elin’s staying, but is Tiger? I only hope that she’s moving in only to kick his ass to the curb but, it looks like she’s going to try to tough it out. I’m really trying not to be judgmental on this one so, I’m going to leave it at that.

Elin May Not Be So Supportive After All

All accounts so far have been pointing to the fact that Elin Nordegren is fully supporting her cheating husband, Tiger Woods. But now the National Enquirer has other reports that Elin is enraged that she was forced to listen to account after account of Tiger’s indiscretions while she was in Mississippi trying to support him through his therapy. Not only is she angry that she had to do this, but from the sounds of it, she’s also fed up with the marriage and wants out!

All we’ve heard so far about Elin and Tiger is that they are working on their marriage, although Tiger expressly said in his press conference that what they were going to do about their marriage was a matter between them as husband and wife. But the Enquirer has been right about everything so far that’s been going on with Tiger, and they were the first ones to even break the story so I’m tempted to believe this one too. From the National Enquirer,

“[Elin] initially agreed to be part of [Tiger's] therapy, but when she agreed in Mississippi at Gentle Path, she discovered that she’d have to listen to a painful and intense ‘disclosure’ session.

“Patients write down every sexual encounter they’ve had in excruciating detail, and are given polygraph tests to make sure they’re telling the truth. Then they read their ‘disclosure’ in a group therapy session, while their spouse listens.

“Elin exploded when she found out she was expected to do this. She felt that she’d been manipulated, and said over and over again, ‘None of this is my fault, and there’s no way I’m going to put myself through this.’ Shortly after that, she flew back to Florida.

“Later, when therapists tried to set up conference-call therapy sessions with her, Tiger and a therapist, she flatly refused.

“Since then, Elin has turned her back on Tiger. In his apology, Tiger indicated that they were talking, but they lived apart in Florida before he headed to Arizona for rehab, and Elin doesn’t want to move on with the marriage.

“She’s decided that there’s no point being part of his therapy. Although she could always change her mind, it looks like it’s too late for Tiger to save his marriage. But he knows he has to complete therapy if he ever wants to get his life back in order.”

And, speaking of rehab. The National Enquirer also ran a story about how Tiger was changing rehab facilities. Not because of any privacy issues like Brooke Mueller, but rather because he doesn’t feel as though a sex addiction is his problem – it’s a problem with prescription drugs such as Vicodin and Ambien. These apparently, affected his ability to make the right decision and keep it in his pants.

I’m sorry, I just don’t care what kind of addiction Tiger thinks he’s battling. Choices were made, and they were very poor and now he must deal with the consequences. He didn’t seem to be too high or too incoherent to sleep with 14+ women, so he shouldn’t have been too unable to make the right decision either – which would be to not sleep with those women!

And how humiliating for Elin to have to not only hear the gruesome details of Tiger’s affairs, but sit there and hear Tiger read about all of them to her and a group of people! I don’t blame her for not being supportive and to be honest, I’m surprised that she went as far as she did. I hope that she leaves Tiger, I really do. Maybe then I could regain some of the respect that I had for her.

My Thoughts on Tiger Woods’ Press Conference

There was great speculation yesterday and today, leading up to Tiger Woods’ press conference. Would he announce that he was returning to golf? Retiring? Splitting from Elin? Some even went so far as to suggest that Elin was pregnant. The press conference ran across the three major television networks and even preempted the Olympics. Can I just say, that’s disgusting. I realize that people are interested in Tiger Woods but, could one station not keep the Olympics running? They do only come around once every four years and there are actually people who are more interested in how their country or favorite athlete is doing, rather than if Tiger is going back to play golf. On with the press conference.

You can listen to the entire press conference here at the Globe and Mail, as well as read an entire manuscript of the speech that was less than fifteen minutes long. If you’re going to read part of it, you may as well read it all so I’ve just given the link. I did watch it as it aired on TV and I went into it very anti-Tiger. I was pretty sure that I knew what he was going to say and that none of it would be good enough. I was partly right. None of it was good enough. But he did surprise me and I have to say, even I was softened a little. But I still think he’s a total douche.

Tiger outright admitted what he did, which was big for me. I didn’t want to hear any veiled admissions such as “the things I’ve done” repeated 20 times. He said no-bones-about-it, “I’ve cheated.” He made all the necessary apologies, to Elin and his kids, to his fans, to the young kids that look up to him, and to his entire family. He also made it very clear that Elin did not beat him over Thanksgiving, nor has anyone ever beaten anyone else in their household. Good to know.

Another thing I admired about Tiger’s speech was that he owned up to the real reason why he cheated: he thought he could. He thought he was better than everyone else and that “the rules didn’t apply to him.” Although he did talk about his “treatment”, he really blamed it on the fact that he’s a cheater and thought he was entitled. Good enough for me.

What I didn’t like about the press conference was that the whole entire thing seemed entirely choreographed. Not surprising, since Tiger’s known as  a PR Mastermind. But it all felt so orchestrated. It’s not that Tiger seemed completely insincere. But it wasn’t a really, truly bottom-of-my-heart kind of apology. Not having notes I think would have helped a lot.

Analysts are already comparing it to famous apology speeches such as Bill Clinton’s and calling it “the greatest apology speech ever.” But still, Elin wasn’t there and I’m sure she’s heard all these things before so apparently, she thinks it has a ways to go yet. And frankly, I don’t blame her for not standing by his side today. Tiger also said that whatever is going to happen between them is a private matter between husband and wife. And that’s fair enough. We’re going to find out sooner or later so there’s no point in prying now.

Elin Nordegren Picking Tiger Up from Rehab….Soon!

Well it seems that Tiger Woods has gotten his little pecker in order and calmed him down a bit because he’s been released from rehab. Tiger is set to leave sex rehab by the end of this week and his wife, yes – wife, Elin Nordegren, is flying in to pick him up and bring him home. Well, if he comes home, it won’t be for very long. He and Elin are planning on going away somewhere together to spend some time with each other privately. Aw, isn’t that romantic? A little getaway from the tramps that want to get with your husband. From Radar Online,

“Tiger Woods is leaving sex addiction rehab by the end of this week, RadarOnline.com has learned exclusively.

His wife Elin has flown to Hattiesburg, Mississippi to bring Tiger home, sources close to the situation told RadarOnline.com.

The golfing legend is at the end of his program at Gentle Path in Hattiesburg, Mississippi.

As RadarOnline.com reported earlier, his wife Elin has called off the divorce – for now – and is giving Tiger a second chance.

When Tiger leaves the clinic, he and Elin plan to go away together, alone, for a few days, sources told RadarOnline.com.

“Tiger and Elin want to be alone out of public when he leaves the clinic,” a source close to the situation told RadarOnline.com.

Elin previously spent five days with Tiger as part of his therapy program in Mississippi. Because of excellent security she was unseen by the press in Hattiesburg, but her absence was notable in Orlando.

The week she was gone her twin sister was photographed out with her children and even took them to Sea World.

Now she’s flown to get Tiger and bring him home.

“He should be out by the weekend,” a source close to the situation told RadarOnline.com. “They are giving their marriage another try.”

RadarOnline.com was first to report that Tiger would return to golf by the Spring and that plan is still on schedule – and he may try to play even sooner.

“He wants his life back,” one source told RadarOnline.com.

Tiger has been in rehab for approximately six weeks. His secret life of cheating was exposed when the National Enquirer was first to report that he was in a serious five-month relationship with Rachel Uchitel. The golfer has now been linked to at least 14 women during his marriage.”

Well isn’t that just lovely? I guess when you have more money than God you can just screw your life up as badly as you want to and pay absolutely no consequences. And I just have to say one more time that I am not buying the whole sex rehab thing. When did this become such a hot trend It seems that everyone now that’s caught with their pants down just goes to sex rehab because “they have a problem.” I think we all need to grow up a little bit and start taking responsibility for our actions. Maybe then marriages and such can actually be worked on in an honest manner.

And let’s face it, we all know that she’s staying with Tiger for the money. Which just makes me lose so much respect for her. Who else is going to stay after your husband has been with 14 women? And those are just the ones we know about! Can you imagine how many more there must have been that never came forward or were found out about?

I do think it’s a bit funny that Elin’s sister was photographed as “Elin” while Elin was visiting her gigolo in rehab. I mean, I feel badly for the woman that she couldn’t be left alone while she was babysitting but still, it’s always funny when the paps get it wrong.

Tiger Gets a Visit from Elin in Rehab

We all knew that Tiger Woods was spending some quality time in rehab trying to get “better”, meaning that he’s trying to learn how to act like a grownup and keep it in his pants. Up until last week, Tiger had been in hiding and seemed to be trying to work through his issues privately. But all of that changed when Elin Nordegren visited her husband in rehab.

Apparently, having your wife there helps with rehab and is part of the program. And apparently, there’s also a marriage left to work on if Elin is willing to help her cheating husband “get better.” According to reports that Elin was paid a huge sum of money to stay with Tiger, the fact that she’s willing to stay may not be all that surprising to some. But to me, it makes me lose a lot of respect for her. I’m sorry, but Tiger shows no signs so far of wanting to actually repair his marriage and be faithful to Elin. And that’s especially evident from this incident that’s reported by Politicol News,

“Embattled Elin Nordegren visits repentant hubby Tiger Woods at sex rehab clinic.

Despite unleashing a tsunami of self-confessed mistresses, the King of Swing now wants to save him marriage.

And perhaps, so does the missus after an alleged $300 mil Xmas payoff.

RadarOnline.com reported Elin visited Tiger at the Gentle Path in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, returning home to Orlando, Fla. late last night.

She spent the past five days with the potent putter, participating in the treatment program and private security was employed to keep her out of sight.”

I’m sorry, but how stupid do you have to be? Not only do you keep contacting this woman after the story has broke that you’ve had a very illicit affair, but then you leave your phone out so that your wife is able to go through and read all of your messages? I understand that some cheaters want to get caught and I absolutely think that was what happened with Tiger. What I don’t understand is why he’s so willing to pay her so much money to stay in the marriage when he obviously doesn’t want to be a part of it? And how stupid does Elin have to be? She saw the texts herself that had Tiger saying that he loved Rachel Uchitel more than he did his wife. Why would you want to stay with someone who doesn’t love you the most in the whole wide world? It reeks of greed, and I don’t like it.

How Mr. and Mrs. Woods’ Spent Their Holidays

Happy New Year and we hope that you all had a wonderful and safe holidays! If you’ve been wondering what some of our favorite stars have been up to, the good news is that the coming year looks bright for Hollywood and while many of the celebs have moved on to new beginnings, some have remained right where we left them in 2009. This much can be said for Tiger Woods and Elin Nordegren who, haven’t yet officially filed for divorce but, if their behavior over this past festive season is any indication, divorce is a short skip and hop away.

Tiger spent the holidays as per Tiger, as we’ve come to know him. Hanging outside of New York hotels with all kinds of different women while he knocks himself out with liquor and caffeine and has various areas of the hotel shut down whenever he wishes to use them. From TMZ,

“There are a slew of photogs gathered outside the Trump International Hotel in New York City — all because of a rumor Tiger Woods is inside.

The story goes like this: Tiger checked in on New Year’s Day and booked a block of rooms under an assumed name. He allegedly replaced hotel security with his own detail, locking down an entire floor.

This morning, we’re told, Tiger had the gym locked down from 4:00-6:00 AM.

So here’s where it gets hard to swallow … Tiger has allegedly been seen going in and out of the hotel with a leggy blonde. He also, allegedly, ordered up 20 bottles of vodka and 15 cases of Red Bull to his hotel room … after two more women showed up to his room.

Sound like Tiger to you? Us neither.”

Meanwhile, what his wife, Elin Nordegren, doing while her sleazy husband was once again cavorting wherever and whenever he could Jon Gosselin style? She was hitting the slopes in Aspen and having a quiet, but wonderful holiday, and birthday, celebration with friends. From People,

“Ideally, the situation should have been relaxing: A New Year’s Eve celebration coinciding with a birthday. Spent with family. In one of the most fashionable ski resorts in the world. At a favorite restaurant known for casual and informal dining.

Except for one mitigating factor: The guest of honor was Elin Nordegren. Mrs. Tiger Woods.

After an isolated Christmas, Nordegren surfaced in the company of her twin sister Josefine in the French Alps. The pair, along with Josefine’s husband, Daniel Lönnborg, arrived last Sunday, Dec. 27, at Switzerland’s Geneva Airport, according to reports, and spent a largely unobserved week with friends in a rented chalet in Les Houches, just outside the ski resort of Chamonix.

A five-man French security team, hired for the week, assured the group’s privacy on the slopes.

On Thursday evening, New Year’s Eve, Nordegren surfaced at a celebration in Chamonix. The party – which included a special menu at the Swedish-run restaurant Le Munchie on the resort’s Rue de Moulins – was attended by eight, including Josefine and Lönnborg, as well as several other friends and relatives.

Sources indicate the mood at the table was bright and animated as Elin, who has been to Le Munchie on previous trips, spoke a mix of Swedish and English at the table and with staffers.

“She was having a good time,” a friend tells PEOPLE. “As good of a time as possible. Under the circumstances.”

At midnight, Elin and Josefine and friends rang in the New Year’s with a champagne toast, beginning a low-key celebration of their mutual 30th birthday. “They stayed on quite late,” one eyewitness tells PEOPLE.

The following day, after sleeping in late, Elin was out on the slopes in the company of Lönnborg. Reportedly, a quiet birthday dinner, prepared by the chalet’s staff, was held inside the rented chalet by the vacation party, which had already begun packing for departure.

On Saturday morning, Elin and Lönnborg were spotted back out on the ski trails.

Reports circulating in the area indicate that Nordegren left Chamonix on Sunday, heading back toward the U.S., where 2010 awaits her.”

So what does this year  bring for both of these two? For Elin I’d say a big fat paycheck, whether she divorces the slime or not and for Tiger, well, it doesn’t look good. His sponsors keep dropping him so the well will run out there eventually. Not that it matters, he does have more money than God. But he’s likely to lose his family. And his reputation has already been flushed down the toilet. There’s no doubt that 2010 is definitely going to need to be a year of rebuilding for Tiger Woods. And if his behavior continues to be anything like it was this past holiday season, it doesn’t look like he’s going to work to make that happen.
