Tiger Gate!!!! COULD PICTURES OF TIGER WOODS' GENITALIA END UP ON PLAYGIRL.COM???
One of TIGER WOODS' many ALLEGED mistresses is trying to sell ALLEGED pictures of Tiger's GENITALIA to Playgirl.com. Playgirl is trying to verify the pics.
--A company official says, quote, "We're currently trying to authenticate the photos before we make any decisions on purchasing the Tiger Woods pics and ascertaining the value."
--He added that the seller is a mistress who HASN'T identified herself yet. She supposedly took them with her cell phone.
DID TIGER'S WIFE ADMIT TO COPS HE HAD BEEN DRINKING HOURS BEFORE THE CRASH???
Some documents from the TIGER WOODS crash that were released yesterday suggest that Tiger may have been DRINKING hours before he crashed his SUV over Thanksgiving weekend.
--The Florida Highway Patrol tried to subpoena medical records from the hospital that treated Tiger at the crash. They wanted Tiger's blood test results from that night, because they suspected Tiger had been drinking.
--Why did they suspect him??? Because his wife, ELIN NORDEGREN, told them he'd been drinking earlier in the day.
--She also told them he'd been prescribed both Ambien and the painkiller Vicodin.
--The request for the subpoena was DENIED, however . . . due to lack of evidence.
--Meanwhile, the incident report from the night of the crash was also made public yesterday. Here's what the responding officer had to say . . .
--"Upon my arrival, I observed a black male lying in the roadway not moving, covered in a blanket and resting his head on a pillow. There was a white female kneeling over the subject. I made contact with the subject, known to be Tiger Woods.
--"My immediate observations were that of an unresponsive male subject, breathing adequately with lacerations to the lips and noticeable blood in the mouth. Mr. Woods was not responsive.
--"I conducted a brief physical assessment and nothing stood out to be immediately alarming. Mr. Woods periodically attempted to get up; for his safety, I kept him lying down."
--There's no word what this'll do for Tiger's popularity . . . but it's already taken a hit.
--According to a recent poll, Tiger's approval rating is at about 60%. That's down from 84% in June.
HAS ELIN MOVED OUT???
This isn't confirmed yet, but RadarOnline.com claims that TIGER WOODS' wife, ELIN NORDEGREN, has moved out of their home in Windermere, Florida, and is living in another house nearby.
--Tiger's reps are supposedly keeping this quiet . . . and hoping she'll move back ASAP.
--Meanwhile, Elin's mom . . . a Swedish politician by the name of Barbro Holmberg . . . reportedly arrived in the U.S. this past Friday. Contrary to previous reports, she was NOT at Tiger's home over Thanksgiving weekend.
DOES TIGER WOODS HAVE A BROKEN TOOTH???
We've heard quite a bit from TIGER WOODS since "THE INCIDENT" via his website. But we haven't seen him. And the not-always-reliable "Star" tabloid claims it's because he has a BROKEN TOOTH. But it wasn't a golf club that did the job.
--Supposedly, after Tiger's wife, ELIN NORDEGREN, found his text messages to a mistress, she threw the phone at him and busted the tooth. Then she chased him around the house in a rage, doing tens of thousands of dollars' damage in the process.
--That's why Tiger jumped into his SUV and tore off. A so-called "source" says, quote, "Elin went psycho that night . . . he was scared for his life." THE TIGER WOODS INCIDENT - 5 of 8
LINDSAY DAVENPORT SAYS ELIN DID *NOT* ATTACK TIGER WOODS:
Tennis minx LINDSAY DAVENPORT would like you to know that ELIN NORDEGREN never attacked TIGER WOODS.
--She says, quote, "Certainly she did not go after him physically and go after him with a golf club. That is not what happened. She's incredibly hurt by what has gone on, but she handles herself with class, and she's working it out as best she can."
--She adds, quote, "I don't think Elin particularly cares what people think about her. The illusion and the identity out there about her is not her.
--"Although she is having a tough time, she's really trying to get through it for the kids. What people are saying about her is not what happened."
--Davenport also says she doesn't know what's in the cards for Elin and Tiger . . . quote, "Nobody wants to go through divorce, especially when there's young children involved. Her priority [is] her children.
--"She's obviously protecting them from the media. Everyone's wish when you get married is to make it work and we'll see if they're able to do that."
THERE ARE SOME *NEW* LADIES IN TIGER'S LIFE: A SEVENTH woman has been identified as one of TIGER WOODS' alleged mistresses. This one is a MATTRESS ACTRESS by the name of HOLLY SAMPSON.
--Holly's fine cinematic masterpieces include "OMG, Stop Tickling Me", "Flying Solo 2", "Descent into Bondage" and "Diary of a Horny Housewife". She's 36.
--Her attorney is currently issuing NO COMMENTS to the media. There's no word if she plans on coming forward.
--We keep hearing that even MORE women will be added to the list.
--Speaking of Tiger's ladies, one of them . . . MINDY LAWTON . . . is facing a pretty serious felony DUI charge.
--This past January, Mindy rear-ended a car and sent it crashing into a third vehicle. She had a blood-alcohol level of .187%. That's over TWICE the legal limit of .08%.
--Someone came out of the accident with serious injuries, and the two other cars sustained thousands in damages. She's due in court early in the New Year.
#1.) We're going to go ahead and HIGHLY DOUBT this, but TMZ is reporting that after TIGER WOODS' infamous Thanksgiving weekend incident, he started calling Mistress #1, RACHEL UCHITEL . . . and trying to get with her.
--And yes, you heard me correctly: This was in the days AFTER the crash. He was supposedly trying to figure out a way to secretly hook up with her.
#2.) Tiger Woods wasn't careful enough when it came to hiding his mistresses. But he was even more careless when it came to nailing them. Two of Tiger's ladies claim he refused to wear condoms when he was with them.
--JAIMEE GRUBBS says, quote, "It wasn't even discussed. He just never used one." She also says he never asked her about birth control, either.
--And MINDY LAWTON'S sister says Mindy told her the same thing. She adds, quote, "I was so worried she might catch a disease, especially as we suspected he was promiscuous."
