HOLLYWOOD DIRT OVERFLOW
AND THE ATHLETE OF THE DECADE IS . . . TIGER WOODS!!!
The Associated Press has named TIGER WOODS the Athlete of the Decade . . . for his accomplishments on the golf course, obviously. --Tiger received 56 of the 142 votes cast by editors at various U.S. newspapers.
About half the ballots came in AFTER Tiger's Thanksgiving weekend debacle . . . so obviously, a lot of people overlooked it and voted strictly on Tiger's athletic achievements.
The AP says, quote, "For 10 incomparable years, no one ruled a sport like Woods. He won 64 times around the world, including 12 majors, and hoisted a trophy on every continent golf is played. He lost only one time with the lead going into the final round. --"His 56 PGA Tour victories in one incomparable decade were more than anyone except four of golf's greatest players won in their careers."
LANCE ARMSTRONG finished second with 33 votes . . . followed by tennis stud ROGER FEDERER with 25, and aquatic stoner MICHAEL PHELPS with 13. --TOM BRADY rounded out the top 5 with six votes.
A YOUNG TIGER WOODS WAS DEVASTATED BY HIS FATHER'S INFIDELITY:
TIGER WOODS' high school girlfriend, DINA PARR, is suddenly EVERYWHERE. And she has a very interesting and ironic story to relate. She told E! News that back in the day, Tiger was emotionally devastated by his father's infidelities.
She said, quote, "He would just call crying and say, 'My dad is with another woman,' and that would be all he could say. He would be so upset, so I just tried to be there for him and listen to him." --One time he even complained about the type of woman his father was seeing. Dina said, quote, "I remember he was crying and very upset in this one conversation, and he was like, 'I can't even believe the type of women he's going out with! She's disgusting.' --"He didn't exactly have the nicest words to say.
She added, quote, "He loved his father. And I know that was the one thing about his dad that he could never get over. So yeah, it's interesting that it's turned out that he's doing the same thing."(--Here's video of Dina's interview with E! . . .)http://www.eonline.com/uberblog/b158203_tigers_first_love_woods_was_devastated.html
MORE SOURCES ARE SAYING THAT REESE WITHERSPOON AND JAKE GYLLENHAAL HAVE BROKEN UP:
We still haven't heard anything official yet, but sources continue to claim that REESE WITHERSPOON and JAKE GYLLENHAAL have broken up. --One source tells "Us Weekly" that they split at the beginning of this month, and it broke Jake's heart. But another source adds, quote, "No one cheated. There was no drama."
As for why they broke up . . . apparently, Jake was pushing for more of a commitment, and Reese wasn't having it. --A source says, quote, "She felt pressured to wed again but she wasn't ready. She couldn't give Jake enough and she got cold feet. Jake wanted all of her."
Reese also didn't feel like she was spending enough time with her kids . . . quote, "When she was giving all of her energy to Jake, she felt like she wasn't giving her kids enough." (--In an interesting coincidence, "Sesame Street" chose this week to run a sketch in which Jake teaches kids the meaning of the word "SEPARATE". Not kidding. Check it out . . .) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PrmUfYKYXbM
NOW THERE'S A RESTRAINING ORDER PROHIBITING COURTNEY LOVE FROM CONTACTING HER DAUGHTER:
Last Friday, COURTNEY LOVE lost custody of her 17-year-old daughter, FRANCES BEAN COBAIN, to KURT COBAIN'S mother and sister. --Courtney's attorney tried to blow it off like it was no big deal. But now there's a RESTRAINING ORDER in place that keeps Courtney from having any direct or indirect contact with Frances.
We don't know whose idea it was or on what grounds it was obtained. It's temporary for now. A hearing to make it permanent will take place on January 5th. --The restraining order MIGHT have something to do with some INSANE RANTS that Courtney allegedly posted on Facebook earlier this week.
The posts were taken down pretty quickly, but several blogs had already reposted them before they disappeared. --Whether they're legit or not, here are some excerpts from Courtney's alleged posts . . . --"I hate to sound cold but any kid of mine who pulls this (crap) has lost her position . . . She was deceptive, she lied and she's lying to herself . . . My daughter is not always honest." --"You could've asked for emancipation . . . You realize this will put you in juvenile family circus three times in your little life? . . . This is what, along with his mother, killed your father."
(--Yes, Courtney just accused Kurt Cobain's mom of being at least part of the reason he offed himself.)
"Frances is clearly deluded that she can buy her grandmother a "small house in L.A." I'd love to see how that works . . . She thinks she has all this money. The point is, I have all the money she has." --And here is perhaps the most INSANE paragraph in the entire post. (--Now, keep in mind, everything else here has been cleaned up for easy reading. But because it just feels right, I'm leaving this one in Courtney-speak . . .)
"have fun on your covers of the tabs, thats what your wonder bread side likes, you couldve asked for emanicaption youc ouldve gone to simons rock, but you have to get involved with that terrifying not to me, to you witch who keeps britney spars in jail?"
On the bright side, Courtney did conclude her rambling monologue with this message to her daughter . . . quote, "I love you and always will unconditionally." --Courtney probably should have seen this coming. Back in September, Frances Tweeted, quote, "Someone adopt me please." --And in April, she posted these two Tweets . . . "I love you . . . but you're (effing) crazy and irresponsible" . . . and, "Damn it I'm on my own." Both were assumed to have been directed at her mother.
(--Courtney Love posted some fresh insanity on her Facebook page yesterday. You'll find that on the following page . . .)
COURTNEY LOVE'S LATEST POSTS:
COURTNEY LOVE posted some fresh insanity on Facebook yesterday, regarding the situation with her daughter FRANCES. Here's what she said . . . (--With grammar and punctuation cleaned up so you won't have a hard time reading it . . .) --"There's not a whole lot I can do about it. This is like a hand grenade got thrown into our lives and it's not Frances! I am angry at these people, not Frances. I'd just prefer she not become Jamie L. Spears.
"She should go be a writer or an artist, which I support 100%, but this is a circus and it pains me 'cos I know she hates it." --Courtney later added, quote, "I very much miss my daughter. I know she knows how miserable I am. I'm despairing and so sad, so so sad, but I just want to help her be happy. That's it, get her house and get her school and that's all I've ever wanted."
(--And there you have it . . . for now. But if you think that's the last we'll hear from Courtney on the matter, then you don't know much about Courtney.)

KELLY CLARKSON'S NEXT ALBUM WILL SOUND LIKE A MIX OF GARBAGE AND MUSE:
You have to give KELLY CLARKSON credit: She keeps trying to change-up her sound . . . even in the face of criticism. --She notoriously butted heads with label boss Clive Davis while doing her own thing on "My December" . . . and now she wants to reinvent herself again. --In a radio interview Kelly said that fans can expect something new on her next album, which is still in early stages of development.
She said, quote, "We're already working on [the album] but it's probably not going to hit until, like, the fourth quarter of next year . . . around Christmas. --"There's still some like singer / songwriter stuff [on it], but there's . . . I don't know. It's almost like GARBAGE-meets-pop-meets-MUSE. It's a little different."
We're assuming that she's referring to the BAND Garbage. --But then again, since Kelly is such a wild, spontaneous artist . . . whose creativity knows no bounds . . . all this is subject to change. --She added, quote, "I don't know how it's going to end up. Who knows? It always ends up being something completely different." (--So, stay tuned!!!)
About half the ballots came in AFTER Tiger's Thanksgiving weekend debacle . . . so obviously, a lot of people overlooked it and voted strictly on Tiger's athletic achievements.

A WOMAN FLASHED A DRIVER, WHO GOT DISTRACTED AND RAN HER OVER:
Ladies . . . there's a time and a place for everything. And it kills me to say this, but that applies to FLASHING YOUR BREASTS, too. Here's what I mean . . .
On September 27th, 18-year-old Cherelle Dudfield was doing some heavy drinking with her friends in Invercargill, New Zealand (--in the country's southern tip).
At some point, Cherelle got the bright idea to start flashing her breasts at passing cars. --The only problem was that as Cherelle was showing the goods to oncoming traffic, a distracted driver lost control of his car and CRASHED INTO HER.
Cherelle was rushed to the hospital where she was treated for minor injuries and released. --This week, Cherelle pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct. She was fined $200. --According to a police spokesman, quote, "She was extremely lucky as the vehicle had slowed because of her behavior. She rolled up onto the hood and cracked the windscreen before she came down with some minor injuries, and was taken to [the] hospital." (Yahoo News)
WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU LEAVE YOUR CAR WITH THE VALET?
Whenever I leave my car with a VALET, I'm worried they're going to . . . well . . . let's just say I'm not convinced they're going to show my car the same loving care that I would. And, apparently, I have good reason to feel that way.
Recently, some guy calling himself "Valet Underground" posted dozens of videos on YouTube showing valet drivers doing donuts, peeling out and spinning the tires of expensive cars in the parking garage of the Hyatt Hotel in St. Louis.
According to the general manager of the Hyatt, a company called AAA Valet was responsible for the hotel's valet parking. They've since been replaced. --The videos were removed from YouTube on Tuesday.(--Fortunately, you can still link to some of the footage here . . .)http://www.fox2now.com/videobeta/?watchId=e9215488-b677-49b4-a8e2-d8840f86c965(KTVI News 2 - St. Louis)
HERE ARE SIX GIFT-GIVING RULES SO YOU DON'T GIVE YOUR LADY SOMETHING SHE HATES . . . AND MAKE HER CRY:
Well guys, it's that time of year again. The time when you try to guess what your girl wants for Christmas . . . only to leave her in tears by giving her something boneheaded.
If that scenario sounds all too familiar to you . . . and since you're a guy, I know it DOES . . . here are six basic gift-giving rules for you to follow. If you do, I promise you won't make your girl cry, yet again, by getting her another terrible gift.
#1.) If you're buying clothes and you're unsure what size she wears, a little too small is better than a little too big.
#2.) Your girl isn't perfect. But you don't need to remind her of that fact by getting her exercise equipment, self-help books, wrinkle cream or any other item that will make her feel badly about herself.
#3.) Appliances and cookware are okay . . . but ONLY if she asks for them.
#4.) Don't buy something that you'll use more than she will. I repeat: Do not buy your girl a gift that's more for you than it is for her.
#5.) Remember that it's the thought that counts. But only if you came up with the thought before you reached the checkout line on December 24th.
#6.) When all else fails, at least try to create memories. That means either go BIG, or go for the funny. That way, even if you blow it, at least she'll appreciate the effort. (Yahoo Finance)

HERE ARE TEN PHRASES YOU SHOULDN'T USE AT WORK:
When you go to work, you have to act a little differently than you would at home with your friends and family. And that's a good thing.
The only problem is that sometimes when people are in "work mode," they have a hard time sounding natural, and they start using lame buzz words and annoying phrases . . . and come across sounding like an idiot.
Fortunately, the good people over at CNN are trying to help us out with that. They've come up with a list of ten words or phrases you shouldn't use at work because they're cliché, misleading, redundant or just plain annoying. Check it out:
#1.) "Pick your brain." There are less disgusting ways to ask someone "Do you mind if I ask you some questions?" In fact, that's one right there.
#2.) "Throw it against the wall and see what sticks." My only question is: Throw WHAT against the wall?
#3.) "Sweat equity." It just sounds gross.
#4.) "It's not rocket science." No, but if you say this to a co-worker, you're a jerk.
#5.) "The ball's in your court." I understand the meaning of this one, but it doesn't make much sense. Because when you play basketball or tennis, there's only one court. Or am I over-thinking it?
#6.) "Drill down." Let's face it . . . there are sexual connotations with this phrase, and you're probably better off avoiding it completely.
#7.) "I, personally." By definition, anything that you say is personal.
#8.) "Quite unique." How is something that's "quite unique" different from something that's "very unique," or a "bit unique"? How can you qualify something's "uniqueness"?
#9.) "Past history." Again, by definition, this is redundant. Anything in your past is history . . . and all history is in your past.
#10.) "Urgent" (slash) "crisis": The truth is that, unless you're an emergency room doctor, nothing is ever really "urgent" or a "crisis" at work. (CNN)
A DINER IN OHIO IS OFFERING 25% OFF FOR LIFE TO ANYONE WHO GETS A TATTOO OF . . . A GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICH?
I love a good grilled cheese sandwich. But, apparently, not as much as some people do. Listen to this ridiculousness . . . --Melt Bar and Grilled is a restaurant in Lakewood, Ohio (--a western suburb of Cleveland).
In September, Melt started a new promotion offering customers a 25% discount for life. --The only catch is that in order to be eligible, they have to get a TATTOO of a grilled cheese sandwich somewhere on their body.
According to Melt's owner, quote, "We asked people to take our core logo and kind of just change it around and make it something personal to them." --It's unclear exactly how many customers have taken Melt up on their offer. But we know that at least a handful have so far. --Melt plans to continue the promotion indefinitely. (WJW News 8 - Cleveland)

SIX COMMON HOLIDAY DISASTERS AND HOW TO AVOID THEM:
Christmas is supposed to be "the most wonderful time of the year." But it can also be an embarrassing, annoying, and dangerous time of year. So plan ahead. Here's how to avoid six common holiday disasters . . .
#1.) BUY EXTRA GIFTS AND WRAP THEM. That way, if someone gives you a gift and you weren't expecting one, you'll have a gift ready. Just make sure it's something that you can give to anyone.
Extra gifts can also come in handy if someone gives you something that's twice as nice what you gave them, Just pretend you got them TWO gifts.
#2.) KNOW YOUR DRINK LIMIT. If you're going to your office Christmas party this weekend, don't drink too much. There's no telling what you'll do after eight eggnogs.
#3.) KNOW HOW TO DODGE A KISS. If you get caught under the mistletoe and you want to avoid a kiss, pretend you're sick. No one wants to catch the flu.
#4.) BE GRACIOUS, BUT DON'T LIE. If someone gives you a lousy gift, just say "thank you." If you go overboard and pretend you're thrilled with it, you might get more of the same next year.
#5.) KEEP YOUR PETS SAFE. Chocolate is toxic to dogs AND cats, and it's the most common reason they get sick around the holidays. So keep your holiday candy where they can't get to it. And don't forget that poinsettias are toxic to pets too.
#6.) SECURE THE TREE. Tie some fishing line around the top of the tree, and tie the other end to a hook on the ceiling. That way if someone bumps into it, it probably won't fall over. (HowCast.com)
