Tiger Woods' wife Elin Nordegren skiing in Europe!

In Sports, Tiger Woods on January 2, 2010 at 12:39 pm

Tiger Woods’ wife Elin Nordegren is skiing in Europe this weekend, with Tiger Woods nowhere in sight. According to reports, Tiger Woods continues to see his mistress Rachel Uchitel setting aside all all the hoopla that he is remorseful about having more than a dozen mistresses.

Elin Woods celebrated New Year’s without Tiger Woods at a chalet in France near the swank Chamonix resort. She spent the holidays with her nearest and dearest, the media reported.

Nordegren, 29, is said to have arrived in France a couple of days after Christmas with her twin sister Josefin and five close pals, London’s Sun magazine first reported.

They stayed in a posh seven-bedroom chalet away from the main resort, and the mother-of-two spent most of her time inside.

Elin Woods did venture out once to hit the slopes but turned back because of rain, and she had an expensive dinner with friends on New Year’s Eve, the magazine said.

Reports also say that despite Tiger Woods cheating with more than a dozen mistresses, Elin Woods is considering reconciliation with Tiger Woods.

“She has been absolutely torn to pieces by what he has done to her. But she still sees a future with Tiger because of the beautiful children they have,” an insider told the Sun magazine.

“She told him she needed a lengthy time apart to reflect on how they might possibly salvage the marriage.”

We wonder what Woods’ and Elin’s fans and critics have to say about all this!

Meanwhile reports have merged that Florida State police officers had examined the upper body of Tiger Woods for injuries during a meeting with them last month. Private TV station WESH in Florida made the disclosure.

Tiger Woods reportedly lifted up his shirt, said the station, during the December 1 meeting so that the troopers could discern if he had any additional injuries after his SUV crash.

The meeting took place four days after the post-Thanksgiving car crash that blew the lid off Tiger Woods’ infidelities, one of the biggest sex scandals in sports history.

Despite rumors that she roughed him up, Woods’ wife, Elin Nordegren, was not charged with domestic abuse, as police determined Tiger Woods suffered “only a fat lip”.

This report casts further doubt on the rumors going around that a scorned Elin messed up Tiger so bad with a 9-iron that he needed plastic surgery on his face.

It is widely believed that an enraged Elin Woods chased Tiger Woods out of his house with a golf club and smashed the windows of his car in the minutes before he crashed.

She was never charged in the incident, however. Tiger was issued a traffic ticket and that was that. He has not been seen by anyone since Dec. 1.

Meanwhile news reports have said AT&T has also dumped the golf icon.

In Lifestyle, Sports, Tiger Woods on December 30, 2009 at 1:58 am

Tiger Woods is attending rehab in Arizona for ‘sex addiction’, “sexual compulsion” and Vicodin and Ambien use.

Woods’ “handlers” compelled him to enter rehab because “they feel that if he blames his cheating on addiction, the public will forgive him,” reported X17 website.

Meanwhile, another report says scandal-hit Tiger Woods was recently spotted partying with alleged mistress Rachel Uchitel in Florida.

Rachel Uchitel was the first woman alleged to have had an affair with Tiger Woods, and in recent weeks more information has come to light about the night club hostess.

The golf legend has been away from the media spotlight ever since the news of his alleged link-ups with 18 women broke.

Some believe Woods and Uchitel are still seeing each other now, and her lawyer won’t comment on the rumors.

But sources told a US TV show that Woods, 33, and Uchitel, 34, were seen holding hands at a party in Palm Beach, Florida, on Sunday night.

The show’’s website also reported the pair partied together the previous night at a club.

According to Entertainment Tonight, they are also living together in a Florida resort.

While Uchitel was photographed in the area, Woods has not been seen at all since the sex scandal broke, reports the Sun.

Indian cricket board disbands grounds and pitch committee

In Cricket on December 27, 2009 at 9:55 am

With the abandonment of the 5th and final ODI between India and Sri Lanka, the Kotla stadium ground is at stake as one of the World Cup 2011 match venues. India has already won the series, however, the incident of pitch being sticky at Kotla has dented Delhi’s chances of being one of the venues of the World Cup in 2011, though the ICC has said it will follow the prescribed monitoring process before taking any decision.

The Indian Cricket Board today disbanded its Grounds and Pitches Committee with immediate effect. The decision was reportedly made after the cricket pitch incident at the Ferozeshah Kotla stadium in New Delhi which led to the canceling of the fifth and final ODI between India and Sri Lanka.

“The BCCI has disbanded its Grounds and Pitches Committee with immediate effect,” a one-line statement issued by BCCI secretary N Srinivasan, who was present at the venue, said. The decision to disband the five-member committee headed by Daljit Singh came hours after the final one dayer was called off because of a dangerous pitch.

The match was into its 24th over when Sri Lankan batsman Thilina Kandamby complained to the umpires and the match was eventually called off.

After Indian captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni won the toss and asked Sri Lanka to bat first, the visiting batsmen found themselves on a tricky track where the odd ball bounced alarmingly.

Sri Lankan opener Tillakaratne Dilshan was hurt by such a delivery from Ashish Nehra, which had him in pain and receiving on-field treatment. Veteran Sanath Jayasuriya was also at the receiving end of the poor pitch, sustaining many a blow on his upper arm and wrist.

The preparation of the pitch was done by its new curator Vijay Bahadur Mishra, who began the process on November 8 which left the organizers with nearly 50 days to ready the track for the match.

India humble Sri Lanka: Gautam & Virat centuries seal India win

In Cricket on December 24, 2009 at 2:19 pm

India humbled Sri Lanka in the fourth ODI played at Eden Gardens in Kolkata today. Gambhir was declared “Man of the Match”.

In another high-scoring game, Gambhir made a career-best unbeaten 150, his seventh one-day century, and Kohli scored 107 for his first one-day ton.

Sri Lanka opener Upul Tharanga’s 118 had led his side to an imposing 315-6.

But India recovered from 23-2 as Gambhir and Kohli’s third-wicket stand of 224 turned the match their way.

The two came together after Virender Sehwag and Sachin Tendulkar were dismissed cheaply and rebuilt their side’s innings as they achieved the highest successful run chase in a one-day international at Eden Gardens.

Kohli, replacing the injured Yuvraj Singh, was finally out going for his second six with their partnership only 13 runs short of a record third-wicket total.

India needed another 69 from more than 10 overs but Dinesh Karthik helped Gambhir take them home and put them 3-1 up in the series.

After the match Gambhir was chosen as man of the match but gave his award to Kohli.

“When you have someone at the other end who can attack the bowling, especially when you lose early wickets, it takes the pressure off you,” said Gambhir.

“With Kohli attacking I was able to take my time to settle down.”

Kohli said: “As a kid I dreamed of getting a hundred for India in a one-day game and I have been able to achieve that – it is a great feeling.”

Sri Lanka captain Kumar Sangakkara blamed his bowlers for the defeat, saying: “Once you get 315 on the board you expect your bowlers to really do the job for you.

“But with our bowling we were either too short or too full on either side of the wicket.

The final match in the five-game series takes place in Delhi on Sunday.

Here is the full press release issued by In Touch magazine to the meida:

Tiger Woods hasn’t shown his face since the news broke that he’d been cheating on his wife, Elin Nordegren, with as many as a dozen porn stars, cocktail waitresses and party girls. But Tiger isn’t in seclusion, depressed and watching cartoons, as many news outlets have reported — In Touch can exclusively reveal that he’s still secretly having sex with his mistress, New York party promoter Rachel Uchitel. “They have been sleeping together the entire time since the scandal broke,” her friend says. They hooked up in a condo she’s been staying at in Palm Beach.”

Rachel, 34, has recently been spotted out in the ritzy Florida town where Tiger’s luxurious yacht, Privacy, is docked, and reports claim she’s been visiting her parents nearby. “Unfortunately, I’m not commenting on anything,” she told a reporter on December 14 during a trip to the grocery store. But the golf superstar isn’t actually staying on Privacy, the friend reveals — he’s been holed up in another decoy boat nearby. “Rachel’s condo is 500 feet from where Tiger’s boat is docked. He has been visiting her there.” According to the friend, Tiger even secretly flew out to LA on December 4 just so he could spend time with her. “She’s madly in love with him, and she believes that he loves her as well.”

In Lifestyle, Sports, Tiger Woods on December 20, 2009 at 2:46 am

It has been reported that golf icon Tiger Woods may be entering a rehab center in Arizona for “sexual compulsion” as well as for excessive use of Vicodin and Ambien.

Already, there are reports that Tiger Woods and wife Elin Nordegren may be attending marriage counseling and marriage therapy courses. Tiger Woods is said to have been undergoing some kind of therapy even before his infidelity scandal surfaced over Thanksgiving weekend.

The Daily Mail reported that Tiger Woods has been described before as a sex addict, that the police officer who was investigating Woods’ car accident reportedly requested for a subpoena of Tiger Woods’ medical records, because he believed Vicodin and Ambien may have been a factor.

Tiger Woods 'Love Child' and How Tiger Woods Killed National Enquirer Story in 2007

In Sports, Tiger Woods on December 18, 2009 at 6:16 pm

Tiger Woods has a Love Child claims mistress and How Tiger Woods Killed a National Enquirer Affair Story in 2007: New details on how Tiger Woods’ representatives killed a National Enquirer story on his infidelity by giving an extensive cover interview to Men’s Fitness have emerged.

Earlier reports said that the National Enquirer killed a story on a Woods affair in 2007 in exchange for a Men’s Fitness feature on the golfer.

According to new reports, National Enquirer’s main owner, American Media’s CEO David Pecker knew about Tiger Woods’ infidelity a long time ago but he traded silence for a Men’s Fitness cover story”. The editor-in-chief of the Men’s Fitness magazine left shortly thereafter in disgust, the NY Post reported.

And while American Media who owns both publications National Enquirer and Men’s Fitness, has denied the quid-pro-quo deal, the Wall Street Journal today reported further details of the story:

Mr. Woods had cut an unusual deal with American Media Inc., the owner of both Men’s Fitness magazine and the National Enquirer tabloid newspaper. Mr. Woods agreed to the cover shot and photo spread in Men’s Fitness, whose circulation of about 700,000 per issue is less than half of Golf Digest’s nearly 1.7 million, in return for the National Enquirer squelching a story and photographs purportedly showing Mr. Woods in a liaison with a woman who wasn’t his wife, according to people directly involved in the arrangement.

The Enquirer reportedly had photographs of Woods and a Florida waitress named Mindy Lawton in a car together in a church parking lot in “late winter or early spring of 2007,” the WSJ reports. The paper cites an individual who saw the pictures in reporting that “the photos were so poorly lit that it was nearly impossible to tell what the couple was doing in the parking lot” and that “it was unlikely the story could have been published without more evidence.”

Still, when the Enquirer approached Woods’ representatives about the photos, the reps almost immediately “made an offer,” the influential WSJ reported. It said:

If the Enquirer dropped the story, Mr. Woods would sit for an elaborate interview for sister publication Men’s Fitness, according to people with direct knowledge of the arrangement.

Meanwhile, a Tiger Woods mistress claims $3 million to keep silence about a lovechild: A woman who claims to have Tiger Woods’ love child wants 1.5 million pounds to keep silent.

Reports are emerging that Tiger Woods’ alleged mistress Theresa Rogers is seeking a $3 million settlement from the golfer claiming she bore his love child.

The internet magazine RadarOnline.com reported today that Tiger Wwas in relationship with Rogers and then the child was born.

Another report says that Rogers was simultaneously seeing a Serbian basketball player and the love child may be the result of that relationship.
