HOLLYWOOD DIRT OVER FLOW (12/08/09)

THE TIGER WOODS INCIDENT

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." (--You can read the whole thing for yourself here . . .)http://www.etonline.com/documents/et_twoods_incidentreport_091207.pdf--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.

TWO PEOPLE WERE ARRESTED FOR TRYING TO BLACKMAIL JOHN STAMOS:

Two people were arrested in Michigan for trying to blackmail JOHN STAMOS. --23-year-old Allison Coss and 30-year-old Scott Sippola threatened to go public with photographs they claimed would damage his reputation . . . unless he coughed up $700,000. --There's no word what was in the pictures, but they were snapped during a party that Stamos and the two suspects attended back in 2004.

FORMER "FAMILY TIES" KID BRIAN BONSALL HAS BEEN ARRESTED . . . AGAIN:

Former "Family Ties" kid BRIAN BONSALL has been arrested. Again. --Authorities in Boulder, Colorado hauled him in for TWO reasons. First of all, he's accused of hitting a friend in the face with part of a broken stool. (???) --They also have him on a charge of skipping a court hearing for a PREVIOUS assault charge. In that case, he was accused of attacking his girlfriend. --Cops hauled him in early Saturday morning at his friend's house. According to police, the guy asked Bonsall to leave . . . an argument ensued . . . and that's when the stool came into play. --When police arrived, Bonsall told them that he and his friend are, quote, "both bipolar and like drugs." And he added that he, quote, "takes a lot of drugs and sometimes those drugs make him forget things." --He's currently in the Boulder County Jail on two bonds totaling $7,500.

EMAILS THAT WERE ALLEGEDLY SENT BETWEEN SHAQ AND HIS MISTRESS HAVE LEAKED ONLINE:

Last month, SHAQUILLE O'NEAL and his wife, SHAUNIE, split . . . and now, there's speculation online that Shaq may have had some side action earlier this year. --Rumor has it that Shaq was seeing some girl named Latosha Lee. A website called TheYBF.com has posted some documents, which allegedly contain email messages that Shaq and Latosha sent to each other from their phones. --Shaq and Shaunie just began divorce proceedings last month. According to the time-stamps on the emails, they were sent between February and September of this year. --The conversations aren't sexual, but they do refer to their relationship as a, quote, "booty call extravaganza." (???) They also talk about Latosha's son . . . with 29-year-old basketball player Damien Wilkins. (--Damien plays for the Minnesota Timberwolves. He's the son of former NBA star Gerald Wilkins . . . and the nephew former NBA superstar Dominique Wilkins.) --At one point, "Shaq" accuses Latosha of cheating ON HIM with Damien . . . even though he was married throughout the time these emails were being sent. --But the best part is when Shaq and Latosha have a huge dust-up over a purse. Latosha mentions that she wants a purse, and Shaq refuses to buy it for her . . . and basically accuses her of only wanting him for his money. --Remember though . . . all this is SPECULATION at this point. No one has commented on these supposed emails . . . and honestly, they wouldn't be that hard to fake. But real or not, they exist. --You can find the email exchange below. For whatever reason, the emails aren't in order. And to understand them, you have to read each individual document from bottom to top.)http://theybf.com/index.php/2009/12/04/exlcuisve-the-emails-between-shaq-his-new-mistress-latosha/


THE FIRST FREE SMASHING PUMPKINS SONG IS OUT:

It has begun: The new, so-called "SMASHING PUMPKINS" have released the first cut off their so-called "album" "Teargarden by Kaleidyscope". (--"Kaleidoscope" is misspelled, probably for some deep reason that's not worth trying to figure out.) --BILLY CORGAN . . . and whoever else is in the band these days . . . will release 44 free tracks individually online. --After every four tracks come out, they'll be sold together on one of 11 limited edition EPs . . . and after all 44 songs are out, all 44 songs will be released in a single set. --Billy explained to MTV News why he decided to give the songs away for free. -He said, quote, "The simplest thing was: Let's just take away the money part of it. What I like about it is, it takes away the passive-aggressive situation of asking somebody to buy something. I've never liked being a pitchman. --"I have to create the quality, and I have to assume that the quality will create the interest, and the interest will come back to me somehow." (--Of all new business models for the digital era, Billy's seems the most likely NOT to work. But hey, no winning formula has emerged yet. So, who knows.) --The first single is called "A Song for a Son" . . . and it was made available for download from the Smashing Pumpkins site TODAY. (--Here's the link . . .) http://www.smashingpumpkins.com/-Billy says the next song is, quote, "coming shortly" . . . so if you dig "A Song for a Son", you might want to check in on their website every now and then.

NAZZYS RANDOM

OVER 40% OF TEENAGERS HAVE SEX *BEFORE* THEIR PARENTS GIVE THEM THE SEX TALK:

If you've been putting off having the "sex talk" with your kids, here's a little extra motivation to help you sit them down and get it out of the way . . . --A new study from the Children's Hospital of Boston has found that more than TWO in FIVE teens will have sex BEFORE their parents discuss the birds and the bees with them. --Among sexually active teens, 42% of girls and nearly 70% of boys say they haven't discussed birth control with their parents. Worse yet, only about HALF of parents say they haven't discussed birth control with their sons. --If you read between the lines, this means some parents THINK they've had the sex talk with their kids . . . but the things they said were so general and vague that their kids took nothing away from it. --A guy named Dr. Mark Schuster led the study. He says, quote, "If you just get over the hurdle of starting, then once the conversation gets going, you often find it's easier than expected. --"So use any excuse you want, but just get over the initial hurdle and start talking to your kids, because it's really important."

HERE ARE SIX THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND FOR HAVING SEX AFTER YOUR DIVORCE:

If you're recently divorced, you're probably a little nervous about putting yourself back on the market . . . and having sex with a whole new crop of unfamiliar people. With that in mind, here are six things to remember in your post-divorce sex life:

#1.) You might feel like a teenager again: After having sex with just one person for so long, it will probably feel awkward to do it with someone else. So take it slow, and try to have a little fun.

#2.) It's normal to be nervous: There's nothing you can do about those "first-time" jitters. Just keep in mind that you're not cheating, you don't need to feel guilty, and you're supposed to be having a good time.

#3.) Be prepared: That means having condoms, sexy lingerie, and any other "tools" you may need at your disposal.

#4.) Your body might surprise you: The last time you were "on the market," you were young and fit. But now? Maybe not so much. But what you've lost in the looks department, you can make up for with confidence, wisdom and technique.

#5.) Don't expect too much: That's especially true if you're dating another recent divorcee. Performance anxiety, shyness and other "technical difficulties" are to be expected.
#6.) Stay positive: Move at your own pace, be optimistic and try to keep an open mind. (Alter Net)

HERE ARE 20 DO'S AND DON'TS FOR YOUR HOLIDAY WORK PARTY:

It's time once again for your annual holiday work party. And while I know you want to have fun, you need to keep in mind that it isn't REALLY a party . . . it's a work-related function, which demands a certain level of professionalism. --Now that we've got that out of the way, here are 20 do's and don'ts for your holiday work party . . . so you don't embarrass yourself and compromise your future at the company:

#1.) DO act as if you're being observed. Because you are.
#2.) DON'T talk about work. Well, okay, you can a little. But not a lot, and definitely not exclusively.
#3.) DO ask about a dress code. Typically, you'll be shooting for a slightly "fancier" version of your usual professional look.
#4.) DON'T spend the whole evening talking to the colleagues you spend all day with.
#5.) DO take this chance to get to know your other coworkers . . . and your boss . . . a little better.
#6.) DON'T drink too much. And if photos are being taken, put down your drink first.
#7.) DO act like you're happy to be there . . . even if you aren't. Your company is footing the bill, so try and act grateful.
#8.) DON'T flirt. With anyone. It's just a bad, bad idea.
#9.) DO take the opportunity to network with people in other departments, the higher-ups in the company, etc.
#10.) DO stay at the party for at least an hour. Otherwise, you'll give the impression that you didn't really want to be there in the first place.
#11.) DON'T be the last one to leave.
#12.) DON'T make a pig of yourself at the food table. You can eat later if you're still hungry.
#13.) DO speak and act in ways that make you appear intelligent, agreeable and sane.
#14.) DON'T talk politics or religion. And never tell dirty jokes, or use foul language.
#15.) DO choose subjects that are cordial and uplifting . . . like hobbies, travel or books.
#16.) DON'T pull rank by, say, forcing your subordinates to get your drinks for you. That's really not cool.
#17.) DO hold your beverage in your left hand so that your right hand will be free and dry when you shake hands. (???)
#18.) DON'T gossip. It's neither the time nor the place.
#19.) DO find out first if guests are invited. And if they are, only bring someone who will reflect well on you.
#20.) DON'T forget to thank the party organizers. (Yahoo Finance)

FIVE SURPRISING USES FOR VICKS VAPO-RUB:

If you've been sick lately, then you might have reached for Vicks VapoRub. It helps if you're congested. But that's not all it can do. Here are five strange uses for Vicks VaporRub that you probably didn't know about . . .

#1.) IT CAN MAKE YOUR CAT STOP SCRATCHING. Cats hate the smell of Vicks VapoRub. So if you rub a little bit on spots they like to scratch, they'll avoid that area of your house. And it also works for animals that haven't been house-broken. --If your dog or cat keeps having accidents in the same spot, rub some Vicks on there.

#2.) IT MAKES RACEHORSES RUN FASTER. Jockeys rub Vicks VapoRub under the nostrils of their horses on race day because the smell covers up the irresistible scent of other horses, and they stay focused on the race.

#3.) IT PREVENTS LYME DISEASE. If a tick bites you, rub some Vicks on it immediately. The strong smell should make it release its grip.

#4.) IT CAN RELIEVE HEADACHES. The next time your head hurts, rub some Vicks on your temples and your forehead. The mentholated scent helps relieve the feeling of pain and pressure.

#5.) IT'S A BUG REPELLANT. Mosquitoes hate Vicks VapoRub. So rub a little bit on your skin and clothes, and they should leave you alone. But if you DO get bitten, you should STILL reach for Vicks. Rub a little on the bite, and it won't itch so much. (DumbLittleMan.com)
