Devon James: Porn Star Says She Had a Child With Tiger Woods

Devon James: Porn Star Says She Had a Child with Tiger Woods

Devon James (pictured) is a self-described "porn queen." If that title isn't enough, James recently revealed that she strongly believes she had a baby with Tiger Woods. Perhaps James heard the 50 Cent song with the chorus, "Have a baby by me, baby, be a millionaire." I would imagine that this might also apply to Tiger Woods.

Here's the deal: James says that she and Tiger had this child in 2001, three years before he was set to marry his wife, Elin Nordegren. She also claims that their relationship lasted for two and a half years. While being romantically connected to a porn star might normally be big news, this has become the norm for our friend Tiger.

A new documentary called 'The Rise and Fall' is set to air soon, and it claims that the pair had a child and that there is DNA evidence to back up the assertion. When James had the child she says she'd presumed that the baby was fathered by a Serbian basketball player she was seeing around the same time.

Radaronline, though, reports that no DNA tests were ever conducted, but James says that she informed Woods that he was the father when they reunited in 2006. I never really expected that Tiger Woods might make a good candidate for the 'Maury Povich] show, but the fact that he is allegedly fathering kids with women who aren't sure who the daddy is makes Woods all too typical.

One can only ask, "Tiger, what were you thinking?" I was once a huge fan of Tiger Woods, admiring his focus, dedication, intelligence and commitment to achieving his goals. I now truly believe he has a problem and is living a very dangerous second life. While earning hundreds of millions of dollars as the greatest golfer in the history of the world is certainly admirable, having unprotected sex with a long list of porn stars is indicative of a man with a death wish.

I was honestly annoyed that Elin Nordegren and her attorneys were allegedly demanding $750 million and full custody of the children in a divorce settlement. While I still find such a request to be outrageous (Woods is only worth $600 million), I admit that I can understand her rage. To marry someone and find out that they have a secret addiction that threatens to destroy both you and your family can be absolutely devastating.

I wish Woods the best, but all I can say is, Whoa! I once thought that the U.S. Open, set to be held on Pebble Beach, was Tiger's chance at redemption. Now, I am not sure if Tiger can be redeemed at all.
