Lauren Turner — Thu, 17 Mar 2011 09:35:55 PDT

Jimmy Fallon had two special guests on yesterday's episode of Late Night, with both Tiger Woods and Amy Poehler stopping by to chat. It was Tiger's first appearance on the show since 2009, and he didn't seem to mind poking fun at himself when Jimmy brought up his sex scandal. Tiger's promoting his new video game, Tiger Woods PGA Tour 12: The Masters, and he, Jimmy, and Amy all showed off their swings during a demo. Amy talked up a recent hilarious dental emergency and her comedy Parks and Recreation, which she discussed during a panel last week at the Paley Center For Media.

Tiger's Alleged Mistress + Cosmetology License = Tigress Salon

Jaime Richards — Tue, 04 Jan 2011 13:45:55 PST

While most of us haven't really thought much about Tiger Woods's indiscretions for quite some time, we're getting a nice big reminder thanks to one of his supposed former mistresses, Loredana Jolie. The New York Post reports that the one-time Playboy model is rumored to have plans to open an NYC spa called (groan) Tigress this March.

Apparently, she's finishing up cosmetology classes, and while a brief search for Loredana on New York state's Division of Licensing Services didn't come up with a record of her, perhaps it's because she really is still in the process of completing her education. Whatever the case, only time will tell if the opportunistically named establishment will indeed be open for business.

Disgrace Insurance Protects Companies From Celebrities

Colleen Barrett — Fri, 19 Nov 2010 04:00:33 PST

It's been nearly a year since Tiger Woods plowed his car into a pole on Thanksgiving, and a whole bunch of skeletons fell out of his golf bag. Since then his endorsement earnings, which were around $100 million per year, have faced a $20 million adjustment.

Brands like Gatorade, Nike, and AT&T dropped him by the middle of December, because let's face it nobody wants a sports drink that supports philandering. Whether it's for sex, drugs, or homicidal voicemails, a celebrity can become a persona non grata overnight. So now companies, who really are the victims, want to protect themselves with insurance.

Disgrace insurance is not a new type of insurance, but simply a new way of using a clause - "death, disability, and disgrace" - that's in nearly every insurance policy. While death and disgrace are cited in lawsuits every day, disgrace was rarely invoked until now. But why shouldn't it be? Isn't it one of the reasons betrayed spouses get so much bank in a divorce?

How Long Was He Cheating Before You Learned?

After nine months and one finalized divorce, Elin Nordegren spoke about her philandering ex-husband, Tiger Woods, to People magazine for her first - and she says last - interview.

"I'm so embarrassed," she said. "I never suspected - not a one. For the past 3 1/2 years, when all this was going on, I was home a lot more with pregnancies, then the children and my school."

Fortunately, our relationships will probably never hit their lows in public, but that doesn't mean they don't happen. There are plenty of ways to cheat, so if you dealt with it, tell us how long it was before you knew. And how long did you suspect it?

Elin Nordegren Speaks Out For the First Time About Tiger, Saying She "Never Suspected" and Is "Stronger Than Ever"

Molly — Wed, 25 Aug 2010 07:18:31 PDT

Tiger Woods and Elin Nordegren's divorce was finalized this week, just as her first ever interview since the scandal was ready to hit the newsstands. Elin spoke at length to People in what she says could be her only sit-down talk to discuss the end of her marriage. She apparently approached the magazine about doing the cover story and the author went on The Today Show this morning to share about the experience and Elin's amazingly strong attitude in the wake of her heartbreak. Elin seems resolved, committed to her family, and has "watched not one minute of golf" this year. Here's a few quotes from the issue, which is out this week:

On the whole experience: "I have been through the stages of disbelief and shock, to anger and ultimately grief over the loss of the family I so badly wanted for my children . . . I also feel stronger than I ever have. I have confidence in my beliefs, my decisions and myself."

On knowing what Tiger was doing: "I'm so embarrassed that I never suspected - not a one. For the past 3 1/2 years, when all this was going on, I was home a lot more with pregnancies, then the children and my school."

On the future: "My immediate plan is for the kids and me to continue to adjust to our new situation. I am going to keep taking classes [toward a degree in psychology], but my main focus is to try to give myself time to heal."

On forgiving Tiger: "Forgiveness takes time. It is the last step of the grieving process."

5 Things You'd Expect From a Celebrity Mistress Convention

TresSugar — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 12:20:11 PDT

Mel Gibson may star in the celebrity scandal du jour, but Tiger Woods's and Jesse James's mistresses hope they can still bank on passé public shame. If the names Joslyn James, Melissa Smith, and Devon James ring a bell, that's because they slept with taken famous people and will now tour the country as part of a celebrity mistress convention. They graced LA with their presence last weekend and planned to invade Illinois this weekend. Here are some unsurprising facts about the sordid event:

It's part of a larger porn expo. Convention goers can see over 100 porn stars in addition to a handful of mistresses to the stars.
They're making money. A signed sexy photo will put you back $10.
There's a strip club built on the convention floor for this weekend's event.

Tiger Woods to Tell His Kids the Truth; Do You Agree?

LilSugar — Thu, 01 Jul 2010 12:50:21 PDT

Tiger Woods put himself in an uncomfortable situation, but try explaining that to his children. The famed athlete said he will be "upfront and honest" with Sam and Charlie when they are older. When a family is broken up by infidelity, who do you think should explain what really happened to the children (then or later on in life): the parent who cheated, the spouse, or both adults?
