Lash Extensions 101: Faux And Fabulous
Happy Birthday, Mr. T!
Golfing superstar Tiger Woods is reportedly set to renew his vows with his wife, Elin Nordegren, after he plays in the Masters tournament this week. The claim follows reports that Nordegren stormed out of Woods' house last week, stating that she does not plan to attend the upcoming tournament.
Woods' return to the Masters has been one of the most celebrated events in recent sports history. He did his first press conference on Monday, candidly answering questions about his personal and professional endeavors.
Tiger Woods has been belabored by controversy over the past few months and is expected to have as many as 90 bodyguards protecting him from mistresses of the past. One of his most outspoken mistresses Josyln James is a porn star who doesn't seem to believe that Woods can do anything right. In a very public campaign, James has asked that Woods apologize to her personally and acknowledge their relationship. She also says that she and Tiger got together for sex just 10 days after his daughter was born. In James' words, Tiger Woods is "a big, fat liar."
Pop-eater columnist Robert Shuter said that a Woods insider told him this: "Tiger knows this will be the most important event of his life. If he has any chance of winning back his fans, and more importantly sponsors, he has to play his best game ever. Then, to strike while the iron is hot, he plans on renewing his wedding vows and finally putting a period at the end of this horrid sentence in his life."
I agree with Shuter that Woods must nail the Masters like never before. A victory in this tournament would immediately catapult him back to the top of his profession and help him to regain his corporate sponsorships. It will also help the world to see a new, stronger and more battle-tested Woods than the one we've seen in the past. Even the goatee that Tiger wore during the press conference the other day was a telling and symbolic representation that his corporate brand is going to be changed forever.

Dr. Watkins...I hope that grin on your face is a pose for the photo. I think that some of us brothers and sisters should raise those other people up off the brother and cut him some slack. He didn't kill anyone and he is still the #1 golfer in the world. the stupid things tha he does off the golf course is just that stupid and nothing else. I think he knows better now so we should be willing to move on and do some things in our own lives.

I agree with you "Beth". However, when a person, famous or not, gets caught cheating on their spouse and it becomes public and a social "beat-down" takes place, there comes a time when the public should back off and let nature take it's course. There seems to some people in the main stream media that want to make a career of jacking with famous people just for the the heck of it.

Renew marraige vows!!! What kind of sh!t is that. That is just a waste of money and time. Tiger should stand up and walk away from Elin and all them other white ho's. He needs to get out while he still has a chance before he is brought all the way down and no way back up. Get himself a few sista's so we can enjoy some of the monetary benefits and publicity. There are some sista's who have blond hair and for a few bucks when can get a pair of blue eyes to match.

I agree that Tiger should end it.
Obviously the marriage was not working. Getting back together for guilt won't resolve things and if there is truly an addiction to sex it won't just stop because of scandall, it will take some time.
And if Elin got so mad that she scratched his face and took a club to his car, what may happen the next time.
Of course she will go back so she can get more money before leaving as I have heard he offered more money if she stayed. Hopefully he keeps a prenup in place.

She gotta make him pay and not just with $..Face it, he made his wife look like a blind fool. He NEVER stopped cheating, never. All thru dating, engagement, marriage, kid...
If the rumors are true and Michael Jordan is trying to
"console" Elin....Work that Mrs Woods. Tiger would never really know and it would cut him...deep.
