Y’all, the Tiger Woods drama is getting a whole lot juicier! After admitting to “transgressions” yesterday on his website, Tiger’s got one alleged mistress set to hold a news conference later today while new details are coming out about a possible multimillion dollar payout to his wife, Elin Nordegren. The Daily Beast is reporting that, as of yesterday evening, Elin “has been offered a $5 million payment immediately if she agrees to stay—and her prenuptial agreement is being revised to give her up to an additional $55 million.” That would bring her total payout if she stays with Tiger for seven more years to a whopping $80 million. Basically, she needs to be “a dutiful wife in showing up with him at social events and in public as if they were still the perfect couple, and sign a nondisclosure form that will prevent her from ever telling her story.” The Daily Beast says: “even if she lasts only two more years, she’ll still walk away with nearly twice what she was entitled to under the original prenup.” So, let’s get this straight: It’s OK for straight people to turn their marriages into business arrangements, but if you’re gay, you better not even think about marrying for love. Who is threatening the sanctity of marriage more, hmm? [via The Daily Beast]
“Nothing can really describe what it’s like to have two new little girls. It’s been very different than when James arrived, since our family expanded in an untraditional way. We didn’t plan on having two, but were doubly blessed, and it’s been just wonderful. [Tabitha and Marion] just turned four months old today! One would prefer to be held 24 hours a day, and the other is already suffering from type A issues. It’s been amazing but complicated because of my current work schedule, which I have enormous regrets about. [...] It is the eternal conflict of every working woman, and I am not complaining, because I’ve done this to myself. And I have a wonderful, wonderful nanny who allows me to be a working person. The great challenge for me is to be all things to all people; I want to be a great mother, and I want to feel good when I’m at work. But it is hard.”

Happy Hump Day! Blind item time! Via Crazy Days And Nights:
This A-list female country singer just keeps on winning people over. At a recent event a paraplegic teenager in a wheelchair had been waiting with his mom for about two hours so he could meet his favorite singer and get her autograph and hopefully a picture with her. Well, after the event, the singer came by and said, “Don’t you look cute in that chair.” The teenager then asked for the singer’s autograph and she said, “Oh sorry, not today, I’m too tired, but I hope you feel better soon.” She then walked away.
Hmm, my guess is either Taylor Swift (who got flack after that whole “photographed with a guy in a swastika T-shirt” debacle) or Kellie Pickler (who is known for being on the dim side). What do you think?
“...women have power in numbers. We draw strength from the support of other women. In some cultures, girls can be seen as a burden to a family because of the need to pay out a dowry when they marry ... they are vulnerable to all kinds of abuse. When I visited shelters for female victims of violence in India, I found that a lot of the women had been raped, even at home. That’s still very taboo. Even in the United States, it’s hard to talk about being sexually abused by your husband or your boyfriend ... being able to find solace in support groups makes a huge difference.”

“The photos were for my boyfriend at the time. If you don’t send your boyfriend naked pictures, then I feel bad for him. [Them being leaked online right after the incident with Chris Brown] was the worst thing that could possibly ever happen to me. I just felt like my whole privacy was taken before that and then, when that came out, I thought, ‘Oh great, so now there’s nothing they don’t know about me and my private life.’ It was humiliating and it was embarrassing—especially my mom having to see that.”

Sometimes I wonder about Taylor Momsen, because she’s playing the washed-up rocker à la Courtney Love way before her time. Several Frisky staffers, myself included, have seen her walking around NYC in this state of undress. Do you think her shirt-as-dress look is tragic or avant-garde?
We all know that Britney Spears is a seasoned pro. Like all “Mickey Mouse Club”-launched superstars, she’s been singing onstage since childhood. Which makes this video kind of baffling. Supposedly, it’s Britney’s microphone feed isolated during a concert in Vegas, though we know the “original audio” could have easily been doctored. While my first instinct was to plug my ears and laugh, it does make me squirm a little when I think of how I would sound, taken out of context, singing while dancing my ass off. I have the shower stall acoustics and appreciative backup vocals by my cat, though, so I know I always sound hilarious fab. [Live Leak]
Oh Tiger, you are so busted. Us Weekly has an exclusive interview with Woods’ alleged former mistress, Jaimee Grubbs, in this week’s issue, and along with it they have released a voicemail Woods left for Grubbs, begging her to cover his ass. In the voicemail (which you can hear above), Woods says:
“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.”
