HOLLYWOOD DIRT OVERFLOW (12-03-09)

THE TIGER WOODS INCIDENT

AND NOW . . . AUDIO OF THE TEXT THAT MAY HAVE STARTED IT ALL:

Rachel Uchitel is old news. It's sounding more and more like JAIMEE GRUBBS is the woman at the bottom of all TIGER WOODS' Thanksgiving weekend woes.

Jaimee is the one Tiger left a voicemail for just two days before Thanksgiving . . . saying that his wife, ELIN NORDEGREN, may have found out about them. --And now, we have the actual audio of that voicemail message.

In it, Tiger says, quote, "Hey, it's Tiger. I need you to do me a huge favor. Can you please take your name off your phone? My wife went through my phone and may be calling you. --"So if you can, please take your name off that. Just have it as a number on the voicemail. You got to do this for me. Huge. Quickly. Bye."

(--Here's the audio . . .) http://tmz.vo.llnwd.net/o28/newsdesk/1202_tiger.mp3

The obvious question now is . . . Did Elin call Jaimee's phone??? We don't have a clear answer to that one yet. --TMZ claims she did. They say Jaimee had been bragging to her co-workers . . . (--At a place called the Stone Rose Lounge in West Hollywood) . . . about the voicemail, and even played it for them.

She also supposedly told them she received a call from a blocked number. When she asked who the caller was, a woman's voice said, quote, "You know who this is because you're (effing) my husband."

But Jaimee herself says that never happened. She tells "Us Weekly", quote, "Elin has never called me as far as I know. I did get a call from an unknown number last Tuesday, the same day as Tiger left me a message, but I never picked up." --She also says she hasn't heard from Tiger or anyone in his camp since the story broke last weekend. (--In case you care, E! Online says that in addition to waitressing, Jaimee also works at a medicinal marijuana dispensary.)

TIGER WOODS HAS NOW APOLOGIZED FOR HIS "TRANSGRESSIONS":

TIGER WOODS issued another statement yesterday . . . and this time, he came a little closer to admitting that he's been cheeting.

He didn't cop to anything specifically, but he did refer to his, quote, "transgressions" and his "personal failings" --He said, quote, "I have let my family down and I regret those transgressions with all of my heart. I have not been true to my values and the behavior my family deserves. I am not without faults and I am far short of perfect.

"I am dealing with my behavior and personal failings behind closed doors with my family. Those feelings should be shared by us alone." --Then he went off on the tabloids for harassing him and his family . . . and for making stuff up.

And, once again, he bent over backwards to shower praise on his wife, ELIN NORDEGREN. He said, quote, "Elin has always done more to support our family and shown more grace than anyone could possibly expect."

Don't expect Tiger to make a MEDIA APOLOGY TOUR. He made it pretty clear in his statement that he's said all he intends to say about this chaos. --He said, quote, "The virtue of privacy is one that must be protected in matters that are intimate and within one's own family. Personal sins should not require press releases and problems within a family shouldn't have to mean public confessions."

He finished things off with a promise to do better, and one last apology . . . quote, "I will strive to be a better person and the husband and father that my family deserves. For all of those who have supported me over the years, I offer my profound apology." (--You can read the whole thing here . . . )http://web.tigerwoods.com/news/article/200912027740572/news/

TIGER WOODS HAS ALREADY PAID HIS FINE:

TIGER WOODS will not be fighting his $164 careless driving ticket. In fact, he paid it Tuesday . . . the same day it was issued. So we assume he'll be getting four points on his license. --Meanwhile, the Florida Highway Patrol issued an official report on the crash yesterday, detailing all the damages Tiger racked up by "carelessly driving" early last Friday morning.

For starters, Tiger did $8,000 worth of damage to his Escalade. Damage to the fire hydrant he ran down came to $3,000. But he only took a $200 chunk out of the tree he smashed into. --He also did $100 damage to some shrubbery.


INTRODUCING: AFFAIR #3:

There's now a THIRD woman who allegedly had an affair with TIGER WOODS. --Our new contestant is KALIKA MOQUIN. She's a marketing manager for a Las Vegas nightclub called The Bank.

"Life & Style Weekly" says she's known Tiger for a few years, but has only hooked up with him a few times. The last time was the weekend of October 23rd, at his hotel room in Vegas. --Kalika herself isn't copping to it. When reached for comment she said, quote, "It's not appropriate for me to comment one way or the other. At this time, I'm just choosing to focus on my job." --But a so-called "source" says, quote, "They've hooked up a bunch of times. Tiger told Kalika that married life isn't all it's built up to be. He said he wasn't happy in his marriage or his home life and that there was just so much pressure on him."


CHECK OUT MOVIECLIPS.COM!!!

This is seriously cool: There's a new site called MovieClips.com . . . and it's pretty much what it sounds like: A place where you can watch two-minute clips from various movies. And when I say "various" movies, I mean more than 12,000. So far. The site has agreements with SIX of the major studios: Fox, MGM, Paramount, Sony, Universal and Warner Brothers . . . so a lot of ground is covered here.

It's all free . . . (--Ad supported, of course) . . . and you can search for clips by title, genre, actor and dialogue. (--Check it out, but be warned: You WILL get sucked into this chaos and end up spending way more time with it than you should . . .) http://movieclips.com/


AND NOW . . . ABC HAS CANCELLED ADAM LAMBERT'S PLANNED PERFORMANCE ON "JIMMY KIMMEL LIVE!":

It sure seems like ABC may be holding a grudge against ADAM LAMBERT for putting them on the spot with his risqué performance at the "American Music Awards". --Last week, they dropped him from "Good Morning America" . . . and now they've cancelled Adam's planned outdoor performance on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!". He was supposed to appear on the December 17th episode.

Officially, ABC isn't giving a reason for axing Adam . . . a network spokesman merely said, quote, "We decided not to move forward with the booking at this time." But it's not hard to put two-and-two together here. --Adam's rep tells "Entertainment Weekly", that he will be performing on "The Jay Leno Show" instead, on December 21st. (--NBC has not confirmed that yet.)


LADY GAGA DOESN'T WANT SEXY PICTURES OF HERSELF ON HER ALBUM COVERS:

Whether you're buying into it or not, LADY GAGA is all about "performance art" . . . so it's not surprising that her album covers feature bizarre pictures of herself. But one thing she doesn't want those pictures to be is SEXY.

And that's gotten her in trouble with her label, Interscope. --She says, quote, "My album covers are not sexual at all, which was an issue at my record label. I fought for months, and I cried at meetings. They didn't think the photos were commercial enough.

"The last thing a young woman needs is another picture of a sexy pop star writhing in sand, covered in grease, touching herself." (--You can criticize her "act" all you want, but that's a pretty awesome stance to take. Props, definitely.)
