An Italian model who posed for Playboy magazine is releasing a tell-all book about her alleged affair with golf star Tiger Woods. In the book, Loredana Jolie Ferriolo claims that she saw Woods have gay encounters. No other mistress has ever made this claim, and she is asking for $1 million to tell her story.Ferriolo, the model, says she has graphic details describing group sex that involved incidents with other men.
One of her representatives told RadarOnline.com: "She is in talks with a number of publishing companies regarding a tell-all book deal."
Now the story is getting ridiculous. Here's the deal on the Tiger Woods situation and all the scandal it entails:
1) Everyone is lining up to get paid: That means that those who are coming out of the woods (pun intended), telling their stories for a million bucks are obviously trying to profit from their alleged association with Tiger. Therefore, their credibility should be questioned from the very beginning. Before accusing Tiger of being gay, there should be proof.
2) It's none of our business at this point: If Tiger Woods is gay, bi-sexual or likes to have sex while standing on his head, I am not sure why any of us should care. It doesn't affect the fact that he is still the greatest golfer in the history of all mankind.
3) I'm sure the haters are loving this: When you win and dominate the way Tiger has you're going to have enemies. The other players on the PGA Tour are licking their chops and love to see Tiger Woods go down. I am hopeful that Tiger will bounce back and not give them the satisfaction of seeing him unravel.
4) Can you believe this all started with a car accident? What's most intriguing about the story that will never die is that this all started with a car accident. Had that accident not occurred on that fateful night in November, we would not be speculating on Tiger Woods' secret life. There are gobs of celebrities who do worse things than Tiger, but none of us care. I find that incredibly intriguing.

The best way to address this to ignore all of the innuendo, speculation, etc, Because in the realm of reality why should we care about any of this/

Heck no! Don't try hide now. When hustler offered $1 million to some who could prove their affair with a politician, it was for money and truth. The same should be said here. This woman understands supply and demand. If she has information that is in demand, we shouldn't discount it just because she wants to be paid for it. After all, when informants get paid for information, do we discount it? When stock analyst get paid for information, do we discount it? No, and neither should we discount this woman. Pay her and let us all here the truth. Tiger was a image commodity, apart from the golf. If his image is untrue, let it be known so that people only get paid for what is true. Tiger didn't earn all his money in golf. He earned most of it on image endorsements. It's not hating if it's true! Deal with it!!

Her "Dr." why is it when blacks or 1/2 Blacks or whatever the PC name we are using at the time get into trouble for engaging in criminal acts, violence or scandals, its all the "haters" faults?
The white race is right. Most blacks are irresponsible people..and even when we do wrong, we want to blame it on someone else. But oh boy, we love us some "Jesus." Racist white people are not the only one's going to hell Doc.

That's because a healthy portion of young black America has lost their way. They know nothing about their past and therefore less about themselves and their futures.

This is not a white or black thing.
Its a celebrity thing.
Tiger Woods is a major celebrity.
A major celebrity screwing up sells newspapers and magazines.
Tiger's big mistake was getting married.
If he bangs all these chicks while single, I think he'd be revered by the straight male population.
Like George Clooney is.
And about Tiger doing it with guys?
YOu PC types say its no big deal?
In reality. If its true his advertising career is over.
Because no straight guy is going to buy anything he tries to sell.
