Queen Latifah – America, The Beautiful – Super Bowl Online
This could be one of the sports that unites everyone here in America or Americans for that matter. I was at church this evening and the church was empty. It’s Super Bowl!
I missed the opening so I had to look it up online. I found out that Carrie Underwood sang the National Anthem and Queen Latifah sang America, The Beautiful.
Both were beautifully rendered but I must say, America, The Beautiful always touches my soul whenever I hear it.

Photo Credit: Enquirer via RadarOnline.com
It has been reported that Tiger Woods was checked in at a rehab clinic for sexual addiction in Mississippi called Pine Grove. Those were simply rumors although it was confirmed by a recovering sex addict, Benoit Denizet-Lewis that he had confirmation from people at the clinic that Tiger Woods is checked in. Now, reports say that he’s checked in at Gentle Path in Hattiesburg, Mississippi.
Now, exclusive photos surface on the net via RadarOnline.com and although the photos were kind off dim and blurry, you could still tell the resemblance can’t you?
Apparently, Tiger Woods was threatened by his wife Elin that either he checks in or she’s taking the kids.
Tiger’s desperate reconciliation attempt by going to rehab was sparked by the threat of Elin taking their two young children and moving back to Sweden. The thought of losing everything went a long way to convincing Tiger to go to rehab.
Tiger Woods believe to have checked into a Sex Rehab Center

I was watching NBC’s Today Show today when I learned about the “rumors” that Tiger Woods has checked into Pine Grove Clinic in Mississippi. There were no firm confirmations but author Benoit Denizet-Lewis, a recovering sex-addict himself has a soft confirmation that Tiger did check in.
“It is very challenging to recover from sex addiction. For many people, it is a life-long process.”, Benoit stated.
We may see a glimpse of Tiger Woods soon. Plans to help Haiti Quake victims.
According to ETOnline, Tiger Woods is planning to help earthquake victims in Haiti. As you’ve seen flashes from your TV screens, Haiti suffered a major 7.0 magnitude earthquake where the death toll is expected to be in the hundreds of thousands. Although it is unclear whether Tiger will personally assist, his staff has acknowledged that there are plans to help the victims.
The country is in desperate need of assistance and should you feel the need to assist, or help in anyway – you may donate through the American Red Cross.
Tiger Woods Foundation president Greg McLaughlin tells the AP that Woods’ staff is looking into what the best way to help victims would be, but acknowledges that helping the youth would be in line with Woods’ prior efforts to help victims of Hurricane Katrina and the 2004 tsunami.

Tiger Woods slept on Air Mattress after Fight with Elin
Did anyone hear of this yet?? I guess Tiger doesn’t want us to know but I say, it’s better than nothin’ right?
According to US Weekly, Tiger Woods couldn’t really check into a hotel right after the alleged fight with his wife, Elin because of all the media frenzy. According to reports, he slept at his billionaire friend, “Mark O’ Meara’s empty villa and stayed there“, according to one of Tiger’s neighbors.
The question is – why have a villa if you can’t even afford to buy a bed to put in it? Hmmmm. Air mattress in a villa? Sounds odd right?
via US Weekly – get your copy on newsstands now~!
Anyways, the source added that “The house was gutted except for an air mattress, some pillows, a TV, snacks and Bud Light in the fridge, and a golf glove on the floor.”.
Again, why would you have a golf glove with you to sleep over someone else’s house? Was that Tiger’s equivalent to a comfort blanket? Odd odd odd!!
Guess who just called Pacquiao a ‘Punk Ass’
Is Manny Pacquiao really hiding something for Floyd Mayweather to start name-calling because Manny Pacqiao doesn’t want to have a blood test taken within 30 days of the fight?
Guess what he said according to TMZ.com:
“First and foremost, not only do I want to fight Manny Pacquiao, I want to whip his punk ass.”
“In my opinion it is Manny Pacquiao and his team who are denying the people a chance to see the biggest fight ever. I know the people will see through their smokescreens and lies. I am ready to fight and sign the contract. Manny needs to stop making his excuses, step up and fight.”
Well, let’s see what Pacman has to say about that.
Shirtless Photo of Tiger Woods on Vanity Fair – Februar 2010
Photo Credit: Vanityfair.com
This may be the one and only shirtless (semi-nude if you will) photo of Tiger Woods anyone’s going to ever see. Since the scandal that rocked the blogging world last Thanksgiving, rumors have been flying that Tiger Woods has nude photos floating around but has been deterred from being published by his lawyers.
Well, Tiger Woods looks so candidly raw in the photograph taken for Vanity Fair – February 2010 Edition and you could even say that it seems like the photo was a mirror of what was to come in his life.
With dropped sponsorships (from Gillette, to Accenture, to AT&T), and an unknown future with his marriage, Tiger Woods seemed almost mad in this look.
Since he was the most talked about topic (I guess besides Michael Jackson’s death) last year, would you even considering buying a copy of Vanity Fair just because? I mean, we’ve read everything and anything that is to read about Tiger Woods in the last couple of months. Could there be more?
I guess you can check the mag out and see.

New York, New York for Tiger Woods?
I swear, TMZ.com gets the juiciest tips of all celebrity gossip websites. They just posted an entry stating that the media is all over the Trump International Hotel in NYC because they believe that Tiger Woods is there.
Hints on why they believe Tiger is there:
- Block of rooms booked under assumed name.
- Replaced hotel security with his own with an entire floor locked down.
Then, TMZ learned the following:
- The gym was locked down between 4:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. for Tiger.
The juiciest part that almost confirms Tiger is there?
- 20 bottles of vodka and 15 cases of Red Bull
and…..
- WOMEN – - including a LEGGY BLONDE!
Sounds like Tiger?
Jinkee Pacquiao on Krista Ranillo: ‘I hate her.’
The two women in one of the most sensationalized controversies of 2009 speak up in the January issue of StarStudio Magazine. Jinkee Pacquiao, wife of international boxing champion Manny Pacquiao, and Krista Ranillo, rumored other woman, face off in the special dual issue of StarStudio Magazine. In an exclusive interview, Mrs. Pacquiao confesses why she considers the rumored affair between her husband and Krista the worst controversy that almost pushed her off the edge. “Kasi ‘yung kay Ara Mina at Valerie Concepcion nagtatago sila. Pero itong girl na ito Krista, sa isang interview yata, sabi niya, parang sa Team Pacquiao kasama siya, part siya ng entourage. Nakikita sila magkasama sa States o sa Baguio. Nag-away kami [ni Manny], lumala, tumagal. Usually ang away namin, one or two weeks lang. Ngayon ang pinakamatagal.”
Jinkee was also brutally honest when asked about how she feels about the sexy starlet. “I hate her. Parang hindi niya inisip na may pamilya ‘yung tao. Bakit hindi siya na lang ‘yung umiwas sa tao o sa camera? Siya pa ‘yung nakalantad ng harap-harapan. Silang dalawa, hindi nila ako nirerespeto. Kung ako matinong babae, hindi ako nakabuntot sa lalaking may asawa.”In another version of StarStudio’s January issue, Krista shows the personality that the public has yet to see from her because of this controversy. Although she still remains mum on the issue, the daughter of former matinee idol Matt Ranillo III reveals how she is handling stress. “[The stress] doesn’t go away, but when you pray you get a sense of calm after. You feel reassured that everything will be alright.”
Krista acknowledges that intrigues do come with the job. “I guess that’s really part of the job if you decide to be an actor. They say you’re public property. I don’t really agree with that, but that’s how it is. You just have to accept it.”Krista added that having her family by her side helped her through all the criticisms being thrown her way. “The best thing, I guess about being Krista is having a family, being loved by the family and supported by the family.”

AT&T Drops Tiger Woods… Wow.

What a way to welcome 2010 for Tiger Woods. AT&T, the official sponsor of the Annual PGA Tournament, where its logo is displayed on the side of Tiger Woods’ golf bag – has decided to follow Accenture and Gillette in distancing their brand from the embattled golfer.
There were no reasons provided according to the report.
Manny Pacquiao files lawsuit against Floyd Mayweather, Oscar De La Hoya For Defamation
Photo Credit: Huffington Post
The Huffington Post reports that Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao has filed a lawsuit against the Floyd Mayweather camp stating that the camp has defamed him by making people believe that he used performance enhancing drugs.
The Filipino boxer currently holds seven titles in different weight classes. The lawsuit contends that due to the defamation, the boxer may lose millions of dollars in endorsements due to the negative campaign.
According to the post:
“Mayweather Jr. and the others set out on a course designed to destroy Pacquiao’s career, reputation, honor and legacy and jeopardize his ability to earn the highest levels of compensation”
I wonder what this would do to the ongoing talks for their March 13, 2010 fight.
Will there be a fight or not?

According to Sportswriter, Tiger Woods is out of sight because he had plastic surgery?
Get this, there’s been some emailin’ going on between a website and someone who claims that the real reason Tiger Woods has been out of the limelight since the accident happened during Thanksgiving was because he was badly bruised and had to be taken out of the area via a jet to be taken in and have his injuries repaired. Whoah! Did Elin really hit him that hard? Hard to say where this story is going.
“At one point Tiger turned away to look at the TV, and as he turned back, Elin hit him on the right side of the face with the head of a 9-iron. When she struck Tiger, she put a huge gash in the right side of his face next to his nose (causing his nose to bruise some), and virtually knocking two of his upper teeth out, and breaking the bone on the upper right side.
Tiger ran scared as hell out of the house (which is why he had on no shoes) with Elin swinging the golf club throughout the hallway to the garage (i.e. causing the severe damage which has been reported).
Tiger hopped in the Escalade and tried to leave; and as we know Elin knocked out the windows in the Escalade. When Tiger crashed, Elin panicked and was not sure what to tell the police (which is why there are two conflicting stories from her).”

Breaking News: Tiger Woods Partying With Mistress? Could this be true?
Photo Credit: ET
Could this be true? If so, Tiger Woods is not only out of his mind, but would be out of cash. He couldn’t be that stupid. How could someone who’s getting worldwide attention for philandering have the nerve to go out and party with THE MISTRESS?
Entertainment Tonight published an article today which says that a “source” tells them that Tiger Woods and Rachel Uchitel (Mistress #1) had been spotted in Palm Beach, Florida and is reported also to be living together?
Here’s what Entertainment Tonight has to say:
First word out of Palm Beach, Florida…
Was Tiger Woods partying in Palm Beach?
That’s what sources tell ET, and Woods wasn’t alone. Rumors that Tiger and reported mistress No. 1 Rachel Uchitel were spotted holding hands and mingling with about three hundred other partygoers Sunday night inside a private mansion in Palm Beach, Florida.
Some even say the couple is living together in Palm Beach, where Woods’ yacht is reportedly docked and where Uchitel has even been photographed.
Reports also surfaced that the couple partied together Saturday night at the Everglades Club in Palm Beach.
Kris Aquino and James Yap quarreled on Christmas eve, but immediately kissed and made up
All’s well that ends well sa pagitan ng mag-asawang Kris Aquino at James Yap.
May kumalat na balita kasi na nagkaroon ng tampuhan sina Kris at James at umalis daw ng kanilang tahanan ang sikat na basketball player. Upang kumpirmahin ang balita, kinausap ang isang taong malapit kay Kris.
Ayon sa nakausap namin, totoong nagkaroon ng tampuhan ang mag-asawa noong umaga ng December 24. Totoo rin daw na umalis sa kanilang bahay si James, pero bumalik din ito kinagabihan pagkatapos nilang magkaayos ni Kris. Kaso lang, hindi na nakahabol si James sa noche buena ng pamilya Aquino sa Times Street.
Manny Pacquiao threatens to file libel charges against Floyd Mayweather Jr. and his camp
Mukhang matatagalan pa o posibleng hindi na matuloy ang inaabangang paghaharap sa boxing ring nina Manny Pacquiao at Floyd Mayweather Jr. Ito ay matapos sabihan ni Pacquiao ang Top Rank promoter na si Bob Arum na sampahan ng libel, slander at defamation suits ang kampo ni Mayweather Jr.
Tila napuno na si Manny sa paulit-ulit na alegasyon ni Mayweather Jr., ng kanyang amang si Floyd Mayweather Sr., at ng Golden Boy Promotions, na gumagamit siya ng performance-enhancing drugs (PED) kaya nagagawang talunin ng Pinoy boxer ang mga nakakalaban nito.
Jinkee Pacquiao breaks her silence in exclusive tell-all with YES!
Manny Pacquiao may have made history as the only boxer to win in seven different weight divisions, but he made headlines for an entirely different reason late last month. Newspapers and talk shows were abuzz with his alleged affair with sexy star Krista Ranillo, while wife Jinkee chose to spare only very few words about the issue. But this January 2010, Jinkee finally breaks her silence, sitting down with YES! magazine for an exclusive tell-all interview.
People may have thought of Jinkee as the clueless wife who is always last to know, but she dispels that notion as she tells YES!, “Alam ko naman, e. Kasi hindi ko naman dapat ipagkaila na mayroon talagang nangyari, kasi buong bayan or lahat ng tao, alam nila. Hindi naman puwedeng ako lang ang walang alam.”
Jinkee Pacquiao opens $2.3M L.A. home to YES!
Jinkee Pacquiao welcomed YES! magazine in her Los Angeles home two days after the historical fight of her husband, Manny Pacquiao, against Puerto Rican boxer Miguel Cotto last November.
While telling her side of the story about the alleged affair of her husband with sexy star Krista Ranillo, the wife of pound-for-pound boxing king toured the YES! team in their two-story, four-bedroom home in the upscale neighborhood of Hancock Park in Los Angeles, California.
Manny Pacquiao vs Floyd Mayweather Off the Table??
Can you believe this? The Manny Pacquiao vs. Floyd Mayweather fight is off because of drug-testing issues? Apparently, Mayweather wants to use the Olympic-style drug-testing (the most stringent of all testing). Manny Pacquiao has refused because it will involve blood-drawing which Manny is superstitious about. He doesn’t agree with having blood drawn within 30 days before a fight because he is having difficulties with it.
Both sides were still working on a solution… I wonder what the outcome would be.
Grand Rapids Press that printed yesterday, the fight between Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather is off.

Kultilda Woods – Tiger’s mom is ‘hurt, angry and disappointed’ over his alleged cheating
Photo Credit: Cohen/WireImage
Who else would be hurt throughout the whole ordeal that Elin Nordegren is going through? Tiger’s mom, Kutilda.
People.com reports Kultilda Woods, Tiger’s mom is “furious” with her son’s philandering ways.
“[She] is hurt, angry and disappointed in Tiger. She wants to know how he could do this to his family.”
“It was devastating to her, she likes Elin, and adores her grandchildren. She’s worried about them. She doesn’t want to see them hurt.”
Kultilda “loves [Tiger] and will support him through anything,” the friend told People.com, “but she needs some time to work through this.”
Joke Time – - it’s Friday… Here’s a good one…Little Johnny
It is near the Christmas break of the school year. The students have turned in all their work and there is really nothing more to do. All the children are restless and the teacher decides to have an early dismissal.
Teacher: “Whoever answers the questions I ask, first and correctly can leave early today.”
Little Johnny says to himself “Good, I want to get outta here. I’m smart and will answer the question.”
Teacher: “Who said ‘Four Score and Seven Years Ago‘?”
Before Johnny can open his mouth, Susie says, “Abraham Lincoln.”
Teacher: “That’s right Susie, you can go home.”
Johnny is mad that Susie answered the question first.
Michael Phelps feels sympathy for Tiger Woods – “It’s not easy.”
Remember when star swimmer Michael Phelps was ostracized for being caught sucking a bong? And he is just getting established as a star athlete, breaking all kinds of records and winning numerous gold medals when he went through the ordeal.
Tiger Woods is an accomplished athlete poised to earn a billion dollars a year by early next year when the scandal broke about his infidelity… and this is why I say, I can’t judge Tiger Woods. I’m not in his shoes. There could be other things behind closed doors that I don’t know regarding his relationship with his wife. But here is what Michael Phelps has to say about Tiger’s ordeal:
It’s True: Elin Nordegren is seeking a divorce from Tiger Woods
Photo Credit: LATimes.com
What would you expect from a woman who has been humiliated X number of times. If Elin Nordegren is not a woman of class, she would have been blabbing her mouth about the whole affair and saying all sorts of evil things about Tiger. But I haven’t heard her speak just yet. Either she’s doing everything quietly or she’s trying to work things out with Tiger.
But, that’s not according to the news. According to Los Angeles Times, Elin is seeking a divorce. Can you blame her?
One thing that this scandal did good for websites is the increase in web traffic.
“Tiger Woods” has been the fastest-rising search term in the past 30 days, according to a Google spokeswoman, after Woods was in a car crash in late November that eventually led to him confessing to cheating on his wife, Elin Nordegren.
“He has realized a 5,000 per cent increase compared to the previous month,” the spokeswoman said.
Saving Tiger Woods – - Is there hope after a scandal?
Listen to a panel who discussed what and how Tiger Woods could be saved (if ever there is a chance of saving it).
Elin Nordegren plans to divorce Tiger Woods, The Mirror reports…
When it rains – - – it pours! Given the fact that many women have come out to declare their affairs with Tiger Woods, how would you feel if you are his wife? Specially if you knew nothing about these until they started coming out. Would you be enraged? Would you understand.
I’m talking hypothetical here but if I was Elin Nordegren, I will probably be fine with one woman – - I could say, “We can work things out. What is it that made you cheat? Is it my nagging? Is it me? What can we do to fix it?”
But, after the 10th woman within the daily reports for two weeks – - I would think…”What the heck?!” Elin was spotted without her wedding ring which raised speculations about the possible divorce.
Tiger Woods: Julie Postle and Theresa Rogers are named as his mistresses
Remember the two unknown mistresses of Tiger Woods? They have been recently named. As you may have known, Tiger Woods have not come out in public since his accident during Thanksgiving week. Updates are provided only through his website.
The last update was his admittance of “infidelity” and that he is requesting privacy in order that he may be able to “try” to be come a better husband, father and person.
The most recent naming of these mistresses is not helping his image. Several endorsers have already dropped Tiger Woods such as Accenture and Gatorade dropping the Tiger Woods Focus brand drink. AT&T stated that they are re-evaluating their relationship with Woods.
This one got me… a friend on facebook said, Tiger is changing his name…

Tiger Woods – no show at best friend’s wedding
The hope was that someone will spot Tiger Woods when he emerges from hibernation since Thanksgiving. The website, TMZ.com had it all planned out. Since Tiger hasn’t showed himself since the accident, TMZ even had planned catching a glimpse of him at his best friend’s (Tyron Bell) wedding in South Carolina. Besides, he was the best man.
But today, TMZ confirmed that Tiger was a no-show at the said wedding. The wedding event happened yesterday…. but no Tiger.
Tiger’s only main communication to the world is through his website. He did say during his last post that he is taking an indefinite leave from golf. I’m sure his friend understands that Tiger wants his privacy right now… and he probably didn’t want his wedding to turn out like a Jersey Shore episode with media all over the place.
