Tiger Woods: The Image That’s Tarnished Beyond All Repair
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Sports, Television, Videos,
Oh, how the mighty have fallen. Not only have the former sponsors of golf legend Tiger Woods dropped him like a hot potato, now his once-pristine image is the stuff of jokes. Case in point: the Tiger Woods Love Doll. Yes, it is exactly what you think it is. The product is available from Pipedream Products, Inc., and the tagline reads “He’s got major WOOD!” Youch.
In related news, the golfer will be featured on the premiere of South Park which airs later this week. According to series co-creator Matt Stone, “We’re all really concerned about [Tiger Woods] and hope he gets better.” But don’t think that means the Park bunch will take it easy on the golf superstar, as their record shows that they’ll take exactly the opposite approach.
Long gone are the days of interesting Nike commercials and the image of an untouchable, elite sports hero. Will they ever come back?

-Congratulations to Hilary Duff on her engagement to hockey player Mike Comrie. Could the timing have anything to do with Nicole Richie’s engagement to ex Joel Madden?
-Speaking of wedding news, Brothers & Sisters’ Dave Annable recently popped the question to Odette Yustman (October Road). I guess this means he won’t be getting back together with co-star Emily VanCamp anytime soon.
-More bad news for the family of Captain Phil Harris. Jake, a son of the recently deceased Deadliest Catch star, was arrested Thursday night for suspicion of DUI and hit-and-run.
-Family Ties’ Brian Bonsall also found himself in trouble with the law this week. The troubled former child star was arrested this time for possession of marijuana - a violation of his release on an assault case.

VIDEO: Tiger Woods Addresses Public for First Time Since Crash
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Sports,
Missed the (scripted) apology heard around the country today? Well, here’s your chance to watch all 13.5 minutes of it.
During Tiger Woods’ highly-controlled speech, the golfer addressed a number of topics. No - His wife, Elin Nordegren, did not hit him on in the evening of Nov. 27, nor has she ever struck him. Yes - He does plan return to play golf some day, he just doesn’t “know when that day will be.” No - Woods didn’t think “normal rules” applied to him; he thought money and fame “entitled” him. Yes - Tiger has already been in rehab for 45 days and, starting tomorrow, will go back for more treatment and more therapy.
After watching the video, let us know what you think. Did his rehearsed statement come a little too late? Do you applaud him for making a step in the right direction? Or would you prefer to see this all go away so you could get back to watching golf?

Why was Kendra Wilkinson Crying After the Super Bowl?
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Sports, Television,
Seeing your husband lose in the Super Bowl could make any footballer wife upset. But according to Kendra Wilkinson, Hank Baskett’s game playing wasn’t why she snapped crying by the paparazzi.
After pictures of an emotional Wilkinson were splashed across sites like TMZ, the new mother hit her Twitter account to set the record straight. “I wasn’t cryin cuz of the damn game it’s cuz the paparazzi have no soul..they wouldn’t leave me n family alone!!!!,” she explained. “people like to twist this stuff..we asked them to stop cuz of the baby n they were way too close n they didn’t care at allllllll.”
I completely agree, Kendra—that’s a perfectly understandable reason for your tears. But let’s be honest—it had to be disappointing to see your Indianapolis Colt lose that onside kick, right?

Tiger Woods Double Fooling the Press?
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Sports, Rumors, Where Are They Now?,
TMZ has obtained photographs of a man who resembles Tiger Woods on the grounds of a Mississippi-based clinic. It has been reported that the famous golfer is being treated at the facility for sexual addiction, but TMZ’s story sheds a new light on the rumors.
The entertainment site won’t publish the picture of the Woods lookalike to protect the individual’s identity, but says he is clearly not the golfer. The man is wearing clothes and jewelry that seems similar to Tiger’s style, even down to a Stanford hat (Tiger’s alma mater). Could it be that the doppelganger has been unwittingly fooling the press all along?
