Mike and Mandy In The Morning!

• TOM BRADY was involved in a pretty bad car accident yesterday morning in Boston, but he’s okay.  One of the other people involved wasn’t so lucky, though.

• Tom’s Audi collided with a minivan at an intersection shortly before 7:00 A.M.  The driver of the van was okay, but a 49-year-old male passenger was knocked unconscious.

• He had to be removed with the JAWS OF LIFE and taken to the hospital.  His injuries were said to be serious, but not life-threatening.

• The accident was NOT Tom’s fault.  The van driver ran a red light and crossed in front of Tom, who had the green.  Tom even tried to swerve to get out of his way.

• It turns out this guy…the 21-year-old son of the man who was hospitalized…has multiple moving violations on his record, and he’s had his license suspended at least FIVE TIMES in the last three years.

• Brady was well enough to practice with the Patriots yesterday afternoon, and nobody’s saying anything about him missing their opening game on Sunday at home against the Bengals.

(–TMZ posted some video from right after the accident… WARNING!!!  This video is slightly graphic.  You can see the unconscious man, and there’s a little bit of blood on his head . . Check it out here:)

(–And here are some pictures . . .)

(–Brady got some GOOD news later in the day yesterday.  He signed a four-year contract extension with the Patriots.  The deal is worth $72 million…and $48.5 million of that is guaranteed salary.)

(–That makes Tom the highest-paid player in NFL history.)

IS KAT VON D PREGNANT???

This would REALLY be a slap in SANDRA BULLOCK’S face . . . and it comes from “Us Weekly”, so it’s probably not true . . .

–So-called “sources” are starting to wonder if KAT VON D is pregnant with JESSE JAMES’ baby.

–Supposedly, she’s been showing a slight belly-bump lately…and people are wondering if that’s why Kat and Jesse came out so suddenly and so enthusiastically about their relationship.

SNOOKI GOT OFF EASY IN HER DISORDERLY CONDUCT CASE . . . AFTER FIRST BEING *BERATED* BY THE JUDGE:

“Jersey Shore” party animal SNOOKI was in court yesterday . . . answering to misdemeanor charges of disorderly conduct, being a public nuisance, and criminally annoying others.  (–And no, that’s not a joke.  That’s a real criminal charge.)

–Snooki was looking at a maximum sentence of $3,200 in fines and 90 days in jail . . . but she got off easy.

–But not before being BERATED by Judge DAMIAN MURRAY.  He said, quote, “Your actions . . . I don’t know . . . you seem to be acting like a LINDSAY LOHAN wannabe.  Going through life rude, profane, obnoxious and self-indulgent . . . it’s not the way you want to live your life. And hopefully this incident will impress upon you that there are consequences to your actions.”

(–You can watch video of Judge Murray’s lecture, here . . .)

–Snooki was slapped with a $533 fine . . . and two days of community service with local animal control.

RODNEY ALLEN RIPPY IS IN CRITICAL CONDITION FOLLOWING A DIRT BIKE CRASH:

Remember RODNEY ALLEN RIPPY . . . the adorable kid who did a series of TV ads for the Jack in the Box fast food chain back in the ’70s?

–Well, Rodney is 42 years old now . . . and in CRITICAL CONDITION following a dirt bike accident in North Carolina.

–The accident happened on Monday, but Rodney didn’t go to the hospital until yesterday, when he started having trouble breathing.  Turns out he suffered a punctured lung and several broken ribs.

–There’s no further word on his condition, but TMZ says he’s, quote, “recovering” in the trauma unit . . . so we’re assuming he’s getting better.

(–Here’s one of Rodney’s CLASSIC commercials . . .)

CLINT EASTWOOD COULD HAVE BEEN SUPERMAN *AND* JAMES BOND IF HE’D WANTED TO:

CLINT EASTWOOD can do anything.  We know this.  But would you have accepted him as Superman or James Bond?  Because he was offered both parts back in the ’70s, and he turned them down.

–He didn’t say why he opted out of “Superman”.  But he explained why he said no to Bond . . . quote, “I was offered pretty good money . . . This was after SEAN CONNERY left.  My lawyer came and said, ‘They would love to have you.’

–”But to me, well, that was somebody else’s gig.  That’s Sean’s deal.  It didn’t feel right for me to be doing it.”

Boyfriend chooses the better part of valor and ducks a foul ball, which strikes his girlfriend, earning him the nickname “Bailer”

Here’s a little revenge for all of you who are upset by people talking on their cell phones in inappropriate places.  A fan at a Yankees game got hit in the face with the ball while he talking on his cell phone.

A BULLFIGHTER TOO SCARED TO FIGHT THE BULL

This cowardly matador failed to take the bull by the horns!

–The Mexican bullfighter dropped his red cape and bolted from the ring as a bull charged toward him on Sunday.  Think he kind of forgot the point of his job.

–Christian Hernandez, 22, launched himself over the protective wall as the crowd jeered.  He was briefly persuaded back into the ring, but ran in fear after the bull charged him a second time.

–As if all that embarrassment wasn’t enough, Hernandez was arrested after the bullfight for breach of contract.  ”I didn’t have the ability, this is not my thing,” he said.

THERE’S A NEW RECORD FOR THE MOST BRIDESMAIDS AT A WEDDING. . . HOW MANY???

Last Saturday, Jill Stapleton of Proctorville, Ohio, set the world record for MOST BRIDESMAIDS at a wedding, with 110.  You know, ’cause 109 would’ve been tacky.

–Jill owns a dance school and asked all 110 of her students to be her bridesmaids.  All of them showed up in purple dresses . . . to qualify for the record, all of the bridesmaids’ dresses have to match.

–The old Guinness world record for most bridesmaids was 90. 

(–Here’s a video from Jill’s wedding . . .)

A WOMAN COULDN’T GET HEALTH CARE FOR HER SHOULDER SO SHE SHOT HERSELF TO GET SURGERY

–About a month ago, 41-year-old Kathy Myers of Niles, Michigan, was walking her 85-pound German shepherd . . . and ended up spraining her shoulder pretty badly when he lunged at another dog.

–Kathy’s been unemployed for a year, and doesn’t have health insurance, and she kept getting the runaround from public hospitals when she begged them to fix her shoulder.

–So Kathy came up with a different plan.  She took her .25-caliber handgun . . . and SHOT HERSELF IN HER INJURED SHOULDER.

–But her plan didn’t quite work:  The bullet went straight through her arm, and didn’t do any real damage.  Doctors treated her . . . but only the gunshot wound, not the sprain.

–And now, the County Prosecutor’s Office is deciding whether or not to charge her with reckless discharge of a firearm, which could get her up to a year in jail.

–Kathy says, “Out of all this I was hoping some doctors would say, ‘Hey, we’ll help her out.’”



ELTON JOHN WENT TO RUSH LIMBAUGH’S WEDDING TO “BUILD BRIDGES”

As inconceivable as it sounded at the time, the story was true:  ELTON JOHN did indeed perform at RUSH LIMBAUGH’S wedding.  And Elton’s longtime partner, DAVID FURNISH, explains why . . .

–He tells “People” magazine, quote, “To put it in Elton’s exact words, when he got the invitation, he was ‘a little surprised.’  And then, when it turned out to be a genuinely sincere invitation, Elton said, ‘Life is about building bridges, not walls.’”

–Elton also told him he saw it as an opportunity to, quote, “go where people wouldn’t expect me to go.  And maybe if I can make a great impression, people might change their perspectives on life.”

–David didn’t attend the wedding because he was in Europe.  But he says that Rush and his new wife were, quote, “incredibly gracious and very welcoming and very sweet and very appreciative.”

(–Here’s to Elton John and Rush Limbaugh. . . . building bridges!!)

.

DOES AL GORE ALREADY HAVE A NEW, OR MAYBE NOT-SO-NEW GIRLFRIEND??

When AL and TIPPER GORE announced their separation, everybody swore up and down that no third parties were involved.  But that might not be true.

–The not-always-reliable “Star” tabloid claims that Al has been romancing LAURIE DAVID for about two years.

–Laurie is the ex-wife of LARRY DAVID . . . the star of HBO’s “Curb Your Enthusiasm”.  (–He also co-created “Seinfeld”.) Laurie and Al share a passion for climate change activism.

–She and Larry broke up in 2007.

–Al hasn’t commented on this yet, but Laurie is already denying it.  She says, quote, “The story is completely untrue.  “It’s a total fabrication.  I adore both Al and Tipper.  I look at them both as family.  And I have happily been in a serious relationship since my divorce.”

SOMEBODY PUSHED CHARLIE SHEEN’S MERCEDES OVER A CLIFF. . . . AGAIN!

Back in February, somebody stole CHARLIE SHEEN’S Mercedes from his driveway, and pushed it over a cliff and into a ravine.  No suspects were ever found.

–Well, yesterday morning it happened again, and the details are almost exactly the same. At around 3:00 A.M. yesterday morning, somebody called police to report that a car went over a cliff.

–The cops ran the plates and discovered that it was yet another Mercedes owned by Charlie Sheen.  They went to Charlie’s house and got him out of bed to tell him the news.

–Charlie said he didn’t even know the car had been stolen.  But he had apparently left the keys in the ignition.

–Charlie lives in a GATED COMMUNITY, by the way . . . which makes this a little weirder.  Police plan to review surveillance video from the entrance gate . . . although that didn’t help them catch anybody the first time it happened.

(–Here’s video of firefighters retrieving the car from the bottom of a ditch . . .)

DID GARY COLEMAN’S EX-WIFE TAKE PICTURES OF HIM WHILE HE WAS DYING???

Reports are circulating that four pictures of GARY COLEMAN in the hospital were being shopped around to various tabloids. 

–Three of them were taken while Gary was on life support, and the fourth was shot after the plug was pulled and Gary was DEAD.

–Supposedly, a tabloid did buy the three pre-death photos, but passed on the fourth.  There’s no word which tabloid, how much they paid or when the pics will be on the stands.

–It would appear that Gary’s ex-wife, SHANNON PRICE, was behind the photos.

–Shannon’s rep initially denied her involvement . . . but she changed her tune a little while later.  Now she says, quote, “Shannon and her family did take pictures but they were never meant to get out.

–Meanwhile, RadarOnline.com says that Shannon has been shopping HERSELF around . . . asking for up to $50,000 for interviews about Gary’s death.

CHARLIE SHEEN IS NOT GOING TO PRISON.  NOT YET ANYWAY. . . .

CHARLIE SHEEN’S plea and sentencing for attacking his wife over Christmas did NOT go down yesterday.  The deal got messed up somehow, and the whole thing was called off.

–A new hearing has been scheduled for July 12th.

–Arnold Mordkin, the district attorney of Pitkin County, Colorado, would only say, quote, “We’ve hit a snag.”

–TMZ claims that snag involves Charlie’s work-release program.  Under the deal his lawyers worked out, Charlie was going to be let out of prison during the day to help out at a local theater company.

–But sources say the woman who runs the work-release program didn’t like the way Charlie’s deal was structured, so she refused to approve it.

WOODY HARRELSON SCORED THE WINNING GOAL IN A PRO-AM SOCCER MATCH FOR CHARITY

You probably didn’t know this, but every year, there’s a pro-am charity soccer match called Soccer Aid.  It pits an all-England team against players and celebrities from the rest of the world.

–Stars taking part this year included Woody Harrelson, Mike Myers, Michael Sheen from “Twilight”, and “Hell’s Kitchen” chef Gordon Ramsay.

–This year’s game went down Sunday at Old Trafford Stadium in Manchester, England.

–When regulation time ended, the score was tied 2 to 2.  And when soccer games are tied, they often end in a shootout . . . where players take turns taking penalty kicks, and the team that hits the most wins.

–Well, it came down to one kick by Woody Harrelson . . . and he ACED IT.

(–Here’s video of our AMERICAN HERO, Woody Harrelson, showing those Brits how we do things.)

A CASHIER AT A CONVENIENCE STORE IGNORES A ROBBER!!

A man with a gun tried to rob a convenience store, but the cashier just ignored him.  And instead of filling the guy’s bag with money, the cashier threw it on the floor.

–It’s pretty hilarious.  The masked robber brandishes his gun, throws a bag at the cashier demanding money and the cashier talked on his cell phone pretending that the robber wasn’t even there!!!

–In face, he started ringing up other customers. . . . customers that were willing to PAY for their goods!!

The cashier eventually threw the bag back at the robber, and the guy left.

THIEF STEALS A CAR WITH A CAMPER TRAILER ATTACHED.  WHAT WAS INSIDE THE TRAILER?

A thief in Australia who stole a car with a camper trailer attached got more than he bargained for.

–It turns out an elderly couple was still inside the trailer.  They couple –in their 60s– was in the process of buying the trailer from the dealer.

–As the thief pulled away, he gunned the engine. The dealer jumped out but the couple stayed inside –hanging on for dear life.

–A few minutes later, the thug crashed into another car and fled the scene on foot.  The couple was unharmed. No arrests have been made.

INTRODUCING:  SCENTED BILLBOARDS

There’s a grocery chain in the southeastern United States called Bloom.

–Bloom recently started selling a new type of beef in its stores, and they wanted to let people know about it.  So they put up a new billboard on Interstate-77 about 30 miles north of Charlotte, North Carolina, advertising the meat.

–It shows a big, juicy piece of steak on the end of a fork.  But it’s not what the billboard LOOKS like that makes it unique.  It’s that the billboard emits the SMELL of steak.  Seriously.

–There’s actually a box mounted on the side of the billboard that blows the scent of smoky barbeque and black pepper about 30 to 50 yards down onto the highway.

–It’s the work of a company called ScentAir Technologies.

–The billboard will continue to smell like steak for the next two weeks, and the odor will be the strongest during rush-hour traffic in the morning and late afternoon.

There’s a video making its way around the web of a 2-year-old who knows all the teams from the NFL by helmet. The kid is becoming kind of famous, in an internet kind of way.

BARBARA WALTERS HAD HER HEART SURGERY.  WAS IT A SUCCESS???

Just in case you’re keeping track:  BARBARA WALTERS had her operation to replace a faulty heart valve on Wednesday.  As far as we know, it was a success.

–Speaking of aging celebs and their health…REGIS PHILBIN is going under the knife this coming Tuesday, to have a blood clot in his leg removed.  (–Barbara is 80…Regis is 78.)

TIGER DOESN’T HAVE A BULGING DISC

Things are suddenly looking up for TIGER WOODS again.  Because the rehab he has to undergo for his neck problem includes MASSAGES.

–Tiger had an MRI on Wednesday, and it showed that he does NOT have a bulging disc…just some inflammation.

–And basically, all he needs are some anti-inflammatory meds, rest and deep-tissue massage.

–Tiger says he expects to make a full recovery…and while he doesn’t know when he’ll be back, he hopes to be on the course for the Memorial Tournament in Ohio…which starts on June 3rd.

THE SOLUTION TO THE OIL SPILL IN THE GULF….KEVIN KOSTNER!!!

If you asked me to write a list of the 10 celebrities most likely to some day save the world, KEVIN COSTNER would be on it.  (???) Which is why this comes as absolutely no surprise to me…

–It turns out that Kevin might have a solution to the oil spill that’s wreaking havoc in the Gulf.

–See, Kevin’s brother invented a machine that processes water that’s been polluted with oil.  And Kevin himself actually invested $26 million in it.

–Apparently, this machine really works…and officials in Louisiana are trying to convince BP to use the COSTNER SOLUTION to clean the water.

BARBARA WALTERS TO HAVE OPEN HEART SURGERY

BARBARA WALTERS will undergo heart surgery later this week to replace a faulty valve.

–Yesterday on “The View” she said, quote, “A lot of people have done this and I have known about this condition for a while now.  My doctors and I have decided that this is the best time to do the surgery.

–”And since the summer is coming up, I can take a nice vacation.”

–WHOOPI GOLDBERG asked Barbara if she was scared.  She replied, quote, “Nobody wants to have this kind of surgery.  It’s not elective, like getting your face lifted.

–”But it’s an operation that’s done so often and I have very good doctors and the support and love of my daughter.  I’m glad it’s going to be over with.  It’s going to be taken care of.”

(–Barbara…who’s 80 years old…said she’ll return to “The View” when her recovery is complete.  That could take one to three months.)

SANDRA BULLOCK IS HUGE NEWS IN NEW ORLEANS

Not surprisingly, SANDRA BULLOCK is now big news in New Orleans.  She was spotted there with her adopted son Louis on Sunday…and the paparazzi was there.

–Meanwhile, Sandra’s new home in New Orleans is now a tourist attraction.  It’s even a stop on at least one walking tour of the city.

(–Here’s video of a bunch of gawkers stopping outside the place . . .)

.

TIGER WOODS HAS HIRED A LAWYER WHO HANDLES INTERNATIONAL CHILD CUSTODY CASES

TMZ says that TIGER WOODS has hired an attorney by the name of Thomas Sasser…and his specialty is INTERNATIONAL CUSTODY CASES.

–That would make sense because, if Tiger and ELIN NORDEGREN do divorce…(–And not too many people these days think they WON’T)…there’s a good chance she’s going to move back to Sweden.

–Obviously, that’s going to make custody of their two kids a complicated issue.

–So-called “sources” say that this Sasser character is trying to hammer out an agreement with Elin’s lawyers before anyone files divorce papers.

–Sasser refused to confirm he’s working for Tiger.

(–That’s because he hasn’t decided what he’s going to charge Tiger yet.  You know it’s gonna be more because this is such a high-profile case.)

LAWRENCE TAYLOR HAS BEEN CHARGED WITH RAPING A 16-YEAR-OLD GIRL

Legendary New York Giants linebacker LAWRENCE TAYLOR has been charged with RAPE…after allegedly paying a 16-year-old prostitute $300 for sex at a New York hotel.

–Taylor…who’s 51 years old…was arrested yesterday morning at the Holiday Inn in Montebello, New York.  He was hit with third degree counts of rape and patronizing a prostitute.  He could get up to FIVE YEARS in prison.

–Taylor was booked and released on $75,000 bond.

–Police said the girl had a pretty nasty black eye, but they don’t think Taylor had anything to do with that.

–There was a bottle of alcohol…but no drugs…in Taylor’s hotel room.  Police said he didn’t appear to be intoxicated.

–Taylor says he’s innocent, not surprisingly.  His attorney says, quote, “He’s denying the whole thing.  We’re going to fight these charges as hard as he fought when he was a linebacker for the New York Giants.”

–Taylor has multiple drug arrests…but he hadn’t been in any trouble for some time until last November, when he was busted for hit-and-run.

.

WHO IS HOLLYWOOD’S SEXIEST SINGLE MOM??

Something tells me the SYMPATHY VOTE came into play here, but SANDRA BULLOCK was voted Hollywood’s Sexiest Single Mom by clients of the matchmaking website Date.com.  And it was a landslide.

–Sandra was voted Sexiest Single Mom by 65% of men and 55% of women.  Nobody else was even close.

JOAQUIN PHOENIX’S BIZZARE ATTEMPT AT BECOMING A RAPPER REALLY WAS A JOKE

It turns out that JOAQUIN PHOENIX’S supposed attempt to become a rapper…which culminated in a bizarre appearance on “The Late Show With David Letterman”…really WAS a joke.

–It was all for a, quote, “mockumentary” starring Phoenix and directed by CASEY AFFLECK.  They’re currently shopping it around to distributors.  There aren’t any more details on it yet, and there’s no word when it might be released.

TWO SPRINT EMPLOYEES CHASE DOWN AN APPLE STORE SHOPLIFTER AND GOT FIRED!

Paul Shoemaker and Mike McGree were co-workers at a Sprint store at the Cherry Creek Shopping Center (–in a Denver suburb).  On April 16th, they were on their lunch break and heard a security guard outside screaming, “Help!  Stop that guy!”   Paul says, quote, “I see this kid running by carrying something in a black fleece.”  He and Mike took off after him because they didn’t know, quote, “if it was the purse of a single mom…if he had a baby in there, or what.”   Both Mike and Paul are in good shape…and they chased the guy into an underground parking garage and caught him.  Turned out, he’d stolen about $500 worth of software from the Apple store.   Cops came to the scene, arrested the guy, thanked Paul and Mike and sent them back to work…just as their break ended.  A week later, Sprint FIRED both of them.  Even though they were on their lunch break and outside of the store itself, Sprint said they violated a company policy that, quote, “employees shouldn’t confront thieves.”  (The lesson that I’M seeing:  No company wants you to do ANYTHING to help Apple.  They’re doing fine on their own.  You can only chase down someone robbing a business equal to or worse than Hot Dog On a Stick.)

ONLY ON THE FREAK FILES WOULD YOU GET:  A DEAD GUY RIDING A MOTORCYCLE!!!

Usually we strongly advocate wearing a helmet when riding a motorcycle but this case is certainly an exception.  22-year-old David Colon was the victim of a shooting…and he was buried this week in Puerto Rico. The funeral was nice.  Normal, even.  But the wake….was anything BUT normal.  At the family’s request, the funeral home displayed David’s body by putting the corpse atop a motorcycle in a hunched-over racing position. The body wears a black cap, black sunglasses and a long-sleeved black T-shirt.  Apparently, when David was alive, he really loved the motorcycle, and his family wanted to remember him doing something he loved.  So they have him propped up on the motorcycle, in full leathers, riding boots and gloves, as if he’s screaming down the road doing 120 mph!!!  Check out the video…

THAT OIL SLICK IN THE GULF WON’T BE SO BAD ON SEAFOOD SALES.  AREA RESTAURANTS CAN JUST SERVR ROTTEN FISH!!!  THEY DO IT ICELAND!

Most people who go out to eat don’t expect to be served rotten fish.  But, at one restaurant in Iceland –people pay extra for it.  Two-months-old, decomposed shark flesh is an Icelandic delicacy.  And, at EYTHOR HALLDORSSON’s Icelandic Bar restaurant, it’s served in a sealed jar to keep the aroma from escaping. –Fans of the dish describe that smell as a cross between bleu cheese and ammonia. And, the taste matches the smell. Then, there’s the trademark fishy texture and what is described as a “burning fizz” on the tongue. Halldorsson says that delicious flavor is achieved, partially, by burying the dead shark under gravel for 2-months.  He says, “I’m trying to do something new.”

The HOFF is returning to TV!  David Hasselhoff has announced that he will return to “The Young & the Restless” for “several episodes,” which will begin airing in June.  There aren’t any specific airdates yet.   The Hoff will be reprising his role as Dr. William “Snapper” Foster . . . whom he played from 1975 to 1982.

WILL MICHELLE “BOMBSHELL” MCGEE AND ONE OF TIGER WOOD’S MISTRESSES START A REALITY TV SHOW TOGETHER??

MICHELLE “BOMBSHELL” MCGEE and one of TIGER WOODS’ many mistresses, JAMIE JUNGERS…are in talks to co-host a new show called “Celebrity Cheaters”.  It’s a celebrity version of “Cheaters”, which promises to follow, quote, “jilted lovers, the significant others who are unfaithful to them, and the nasty confrontation that ensues.”  Producer Bobby Goldstein says, quote, “This [could offer] some utility for the young women who’ve found themselves cast aside by these gentlemen they’ve had these affairs with.  “I thought, let’s turn them into converts who are willing to preach the gospel, and have them restore their integrity.”  (–Ok, what are you going to do to restore your integrity Mr. Goldstein, for even thinking of putting a TV show like this together??)

WHO GOT MARRIED AFTER MEETING THEIR SPOUSE LESS THEN 24-HOURS EARLIER?

SHAYNE LAMAS, the daughter of LORENZO LAMAS and the “winner” of the 12th season of “The Bachelor”…reportedly got married on Saturday, to a guy she’d only known for LESS THAN A DAY.   Her new husband is Nik Richie…the guy who runs TheDirty.com, which is one of those trashy celebrity websites.  Shayne and Nik met in Vegas on Saturday.  Within 24 hours, they tied the knot at the Little White Wedding Chapel.  (–That’s the same place Britney Spears married her first husband, Jason Alexander.)

NOW WE GET A DIFFERENT STORY ON THE LARRY KING DIVORCE PROCEEDINGS.

LARRY KING and SHAWN SOUTHWICK have delayed their divorce proceedings for two weeks.  Larry’s lawyer said, quote, “It was decided that there will be no activity for two weeks as several issues need to be discussed and resolved.”  (–I thought that was what a divorce proceeding was for???) He added, quote, “There’s a 50-50 chance this divorce is not happening.  His focus is on the best interest of his children.  It’s not clear to me which way he’s going to turn on this issue.” It should be noted, however, that at this point, neither divorce petition has been withdrawn. Also yesterday, video surfaced of Larry and Shawn arm-in-arm at their kid’s Little League game.  Later, a paparazzi scumbag asked Larry if he was trying to work things out with his wife.  He replied, quote, “You never know.”  (–Here’s video . . .)

You had to know someone was going to be a WISE-CRACKER and try to steal the spotlight when TIGER WOODS teed off at the Masters yesterday. We don’t know who that someone was, but he or she paid for planes to fly over Augusta trailing banners with two messages.  They were:

“TIGER:  DID YOU MEAN BOOTYISM?”

And . . . “SEX ADDICT?  YEAH.  RIGHT.  SURE.  ME TOO!”

Check out the video….

TIGER WOODS’ new Nike ad hit the web yesterday.  It’s just a black-and-white clip of Tiger standing there, as a recording of his DEAD FATHER’S VOICE speaks to him.  EARL WOODS tells his son, quote, “I want to find out what your thinking was, I want to find out what your feelings are, and did you learn anything?”  Nike says, quote, “We support Tiger and his family.  As he returns to competitive golf, the ad addresses his time away from the game using the powerful words of his father.”
