HOLLYWOOD DIRT OVERFLOW
IS TIGER WOODS DUMPING HIS FAMOUS FRIENDS???
CHARLES BARKLEY has accused TIGER WOODS of changing his phone number and ditching his famous friends. --During a taping of "With All Due Respect" . . . a show that airs on a cable channel you may have heard of called HLN . . . Barkley said, quote, "I've been trying to get to him and can't get to him. It's very frustrating.
"I think when you have these fires in your life, as I call them, you need to talk to somebody else who is famous who [has] been through things in their life. "I don't think you can talk about it to your family and friends, because your family and friends, they're not famous."
SPIKE LEE . . . who was a guest on the show . . . added, quote, "If Charles Barkley and MICHAEL JORDAN can't get to him, and those are his boys, then other people are making bad moves." --Barkley said that all he wants to do is tell Tiger, quote, "Hey man, we love you. If you need anything, pick up the phone."
NIKE BOSS PHIL KNIGHT SAYS ALL THIS CHAOS IS JUST A "MINOR BLIP" IN TIGER'S LIFE:
Nike continues to stand firmly in TIGER WOODS' corner. Yesterday, company boss PHIL KNIGHT said, quote, "When his career is over, you'll look back on these indiscretions as a minor blip, but the media is making a big deal out of it right now."

Knight also noted that when the company checked out Woods as a potential pitchman, he definitely met their criteria. --He said, quote, "There's always a risk. One of the things we always try to do when we have a big endorsement is check out the character and the pattern of the individual.
"But you're not going to get it right all the time, and if you're going to be in the business you have to recognize that. --"Obviously, [Tiger was] one we checked out and he came out clean, and I think he's been really great."
A DOCTOR WHO HAS TREATED TIGER WOODS IS UNDER INVESTIGATION FOR ALLEGEDLY PROVIDING ATHLETES WITH PERFORMANCE-ENHANCING DRUGS:
This would be all TIGER WOODS needs right now: A doctor who has treated him and other professional athletes is being investigated for allegedly doling out performance-enhancing drugs. --Dr. Anthony Galea was stopped at the U.S.-Canadian border with Human Growth Hormone and Actovegin . . . a drug extracted from calf's blood.
According to the "New York Times", the FBI is in on the investigation. Nobody has named any athletes Galea supposedly gave performance-enhancing drugs to. Galea denies any wrongdoing. --Galea works a lot with athletes because of some plasma-therapy technique he invented that speeds up the recovery process after surgery. As far as anyone knows, the technique is legal. --Tiger had it done several times in February and March of this year, to help him recover from knee surgery the previous summer.
Reached for comment, Tiger's agent said, quote, "I would really ask that you guys don't write this. If Tiger is NOT implicated, and won't be, let's please give the kid a break."
TIGER RANDOMS:
#1.) We've got a brief promo clip from that interview where TIGER WOODS talks about putting his family first. (--The interview was for some New Zealand sports show. Check it out . . .)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=amPPrckjdJY(--Elsewhere in the interview, Tiger says that having a family has been, quote, "great, actually, the best thing that ever happened.")
#2.) ELIN NORDEGREN was spotted out in public again yesterday. She took the kids . . . 2-year-old Sam and 10-month-old Charlie . . . with her to get some takeout Thai food. And once again . . . no wedding ring. (--Here's a boring paparazzi video . . .)http://www.tmz.com/videos?autoplay=true&mediaKey=8f4f9ed9-57aa-4d48-b55b-d108c61677fc
JOHN MAYER IS TAKING A BREAK FROM DATING:
JOHN MAYER wore a reindeer sweater on "Ellen" yesterday . . . and you have to give the guy props for that. As for the interview itself, John said he's taking a break from dating . . . quote, "I'm not dating. I don't know if you know this: I have sort of a funny track record, which is actually not that strange given my age.
"I'm a little freaked out right now about it, to be honest. I'm a little freaked out about dating, so I'm just gonna let time pass and just do my thing." --He also admitted, though, that he can't complain about his love life being public when he dates famous chicks. He said quote, "I can't sit here and be like, 'Oh, please let me live my life in private with this famous person who's been around for 15 years.'" (--Here's video . . .)http://www.eonline.com/uberblog/b158099_john_mayer_taking_break_from_ladies.html
DID GREG BRADY'S GIRLFRIEND THREATEN TO KILL HIM???
BARRY WILLIAMS . . . a.k.a. Greg Brady . . . got a restraining order against his live-in girlfriend after she allegedly threatened to kill him. --Barry says Elizabeth Kennedy is, quote, "mentally unstable", and has threatened more than once to off both him and herself.
On November 23rd, Barry claims he had to physically subdue Elizabeth when she came at him with a kitchen knife. Apparently, she thought he was having an affair with a co-star. --He also accuses her of stealing $29,000 from his bank account.
Barry told the court, quote, "I know that she will definitely try to harm me once she is aware that our relationship is now over." --As per the restraining order, Elizabeth has to move out of the apartment they shared, and stay at least 100 yards away from him. (--Barry is 55 . . . Elizabeth is 30. So don't feel bad for Barry . . . he probably had fun with it while it lasted.)
THE HIGHEST-GROSSING ACTRESS OF THE DECADE IS "HARRY POTTER’S" EMMA WATSON:
The "Guinness Book of World Records" has named "Harry Potter's" EMMA WATSON the highest-grossing actress of the decade . . . meaning that her movies raked in more cash than those of any other actress.
Emma has only done six live-action movies this decade . . . but they were the "Harry Potter" flicks. Collectively, they took in $5.4 billion worldwide. --As for Emma's male counterpart, "Guinness" lists SAMUEL L. JACKSON . . . but they don't provide any numbers. --Popwatch.com . . . which is an "Entertainment Weekly" blog . . . is disputing that.
They say Sam's movies this decade have "only" made $3.3 billion. --Meanwhile, JOHNNY DEPP has raked in $4.2 billion, thanks to the "Pirates of the Caribbean" trilogy, "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" and other hits.
"But you're not going to get it right all the time, and if you're going to be in the business you have to recognize that. --"Obviously, [Tiger was] one we checked out and he came out clean, and I think he's been really great."

But Johnny doesn't get the nod, either. Because the deliciously gay SIR IAN MCKELLAN has him beat. McKellan's flicks . . . which include the "Lord of the Rings" and "X-Men" trilogies . . . have made $4.8 billion. --But McKellan doesn't top the list, either. --It would appear that the actor whose movies have generated the most cash this decade is ORLANDO BLOOM. Thanks mostly to his appearance in both the "Pirates of the Caribbean" AND "Lord of the Rings" trilogies . . . he's at the top with $6.5 billion.
(--"EW" also points out this interesting fact: MAGGIE SMITH . . . who plays Professor McGonagall in the "Harry Potter" movies . . . has also appeared in "Gosford Park" and "The Divine Secrets of the Ya Ya Sisterhood" this decade.)
(--Thus, her box office is HIGHER than that of Emma Watson. But apparently, "Guinness" is talking about LEAD actresses. So there you have it.)
"UP IN THE AIR" AND "GLEE" LEAD THE "GOLDEN GLOBE" NOMINEES:
Nominees for the "67th Annual Golden Globe Awards" were announced yesterday. --The GEORGE CLOONEY flick "Up in the Air" led all movie nominees with SIX nods . . . while the Fox comedy "Glee" topped the TV category with FOUR.
"Up in the Air" is a Best Drama nominee, along with "Avatar", "Inglourious Basterds", "The Hurt Locker" and "Precious". --The Best Comedy nominees are "500 Days of Summer", "The Hangover", "It's Complicated", "Julie & Julia" and "Nine". --"Nine" was second to "Up In the Air" with five nominees. "Avatar" and "Inglourious Basterds" had four each. --"Glee" is up for Best Comedy Series. It's competing with "30 Rock", "Modern Family", "Entourage" and "The Office". --The Best Drama Series nominees are "Big Love", "Dexter", "Mad Men", "House" and "True Blood". (--"Big Love", "Dexter" and "Mad Men" all had three nominations apiece.) --The "Golden Globes" air on January 17th on NBC.

NAZZY'S RANDOM STUFF
A WOMAN IN NEW MEXICO CLAIMS A CAR ACCIDENT LEFT HER WITH "RESTLESS GENITAL SYNDROME":
Meet 39-year-old Joleen Baughman of New Mexico. Two years ago, Joleen got into a car accident, which damaged a nerve in her pelvis. Here's the thing . . . --The nerve Joleen damaged is responsible for sexual desire. And by screwing it up, Joleen developed a condition called "Restless Genital Syndrome," or "Persistent Sexual Arousal Syndrome."
Basically, the crash left her in a state of PERMANENT AROUSAL. -Now, any type of movement . . . whether it's vacuuming, bending over or just walking . . . gets Joleen in the mood.--She says, quote, "I thought, 'Finally, I'm getting a sex drive and I can give my husband what he wants'. We would have sex once, and I would feel no release at all.
"So we would go again, and then it would start really hurting. But I would still want sex, even more than before. If my husband managed to go for a third time, it would be agony. But I would still feel no release . . . --"It's unbearable. Just my clothes rubbing gets me so aroused that I can hardly think straight. It's very embarrassing and it's impossible to concentrate . . . Being aroused pretty much 24 hours a day is exhausting." (--Yeah, it sounds TERRIBLE.)
BARACK OBAMA IS DISTANTLY RELATED TO WARREN BUFFETT:
Yesterday, genealogists from Ancestry.com announced that PRESIDENT OBAMA and WARREN BUFFETT are seventh cousins three times removed. --Apparently, the two share a common ancestor named Mareen Duvall. He's a Frenchman who immigrated to Maryland in the 1650s.
Duvall is Buffett's SIXTH great-grandfather . . . and he's Obama's NINTH great-grandfather. --All this really means is that you can now add Buffett to the ever-growing list of Obama's famous, distant "relatives", including:
--BRAD PITT--DICK CHENEY--GEORGE W. BUSH--GERALD FORD--LYNDON JOHNSON--HARRY S. TRUMAN--WINSTON CHURCHILL and . . .--ROBERT E. LEE (Yahoo News / Huffington Post / Washington Post)
92% OF WOMEN REMEMBER THE FIRST PAIR OF SHOES THEY BOUGHT . . . BUT JUST 63% REMEMBER THE NAME OF THEIR FIRST KISS:
This survey took place in the UK, but we'd guess the results would be similar here, too. --According to a new survey, 92% of women say they can remember the first pair of SHOES they bought with their own money. But just 63% remember the name of the first person they kissed.
And while 96% of women say they regret throwing out a pair of shoes, just 15% say they have an ex-boyfriend that they regret breaking up with. Or look at it this way . . . --There's a good chance your ex-girlfriend's shoe collection means more to her than your entire relationship did. (Daily Mail)
A GUY SHOT A BURGLAR IN THE BACKSIDE WITH A BOW AND ARROW:
Now it's time to recognize our JYY Hero of the Day . . . a guy named Scott Schwingdorf from Kelso, Washington. --A few weeks ago, a house in Scott's neighborhood caught fire. No one was injured, but there was enough damage that the homeowners . . . Jim Chambers and Debbie Scott . . . were forced to temporarily move out.
Anyway, on Sunday night, Scott noticed a burglar, 32-year-old Gaylen Crane, attempting to loot Jim and Debbie's house. So he headed home and got his BOW AND ARROW. --Then he went back and confronted Gaylen . . . at which point Gaylen took off running. So Scott hauled off and shot him in the REAR END.
Gaylen managed to escape. But later than night, he was arrested at the emergency room. --Jim says, quote, "It's people like [Scott] that make the streets safer. Especially when you're a victim already. It makes you feel a little safer when you got someone looking out for you." (KPTV News 12 - Portland)
POLAROID HAS COME OUT WITH A NEW DIGITAL CAMERA THAT HAS A BUILT-IN PRINTER:
If you were wondering how Polaroid was going to compete in a landscape dominated by digital cameras, well, here's how . . . --Polaroid has just come out with a digital camera of its own called the Polaroid PoGo that has a built-in printer. The only difference is that, unlike the old Polaroids, you don't have to shake the pictures to get them to develop.
(--You can buy the Polaroid PoGo for $180 here . . .)http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=10983735

NAZZY'S SILLY VIDEOS
After a blizzard in Wisconsin, these college students built a dozen snowmen in the middle of the road, then a snow plow came by and knocked them all over.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g1grCwOWYTU(Search Terms: the great snowman wall of Gilman)
This video is obviously pre-planned, but it still goes to show that Canadians are WAY too accustomed to cold weather. A group of ice fishermen talk about how bad the fishing is, then two guys in bathing suits emerge from the hole in the ice.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x768VAsOQSw(Search Terms: Canadian ice fishing crazy Canucks video)
FIVE HOLIDAY SHOPPING SCAMS TO AVOID:
One reason we all overspend during the holidays is because we let stores and shopping malls sucker us into buying more than we need to. But it doesn't have to be that way. Here are five holiday shopping scams to avoid . . .
#1.) DON'T BUY EXTENDED WARRANTIES. They can cost hundreds of dollars, and you don't always need one. In fact, you usually don't. So be careful, especially in the electronics department. And ask to read the warranty before you sign it.
#2.) DON'T GET TRICKED INTO OVER-BUYING. Retailers put related products near each other so you'll buy one, then buy the other without thinking about whether you really need it or not.
#3.) DON'T SHOP AT THE END OF THE AISLE. When you're at stores like Target and Wal-Mart, don't assume something's on sale just because it's featured at the end of an aisle. They KNOW that's what you think, so they put full-priced items there instead.
#4.) BEWARE OF BUY-ONE-GET-ONE-FREE SALES. If you really do need two, then it's probably a great deal. But if it's something you can't use and don't need, then you're only buying it because it's on sale . . . which means you're wasting money.
#5.) READ THE RETURN POLICY. A lot of major retailers print it on the back of the receipt. And some charge a restocking fee if you bring something back and the factory seal is broken. (WalletPop.com)
