Things Continue to go Downhill for Tiger Woods

What started as a minor car accident turned into a scandal of massive proportions for pro golfer Tiger Woods. A jaw-dropping thirteen (!) women have come forward claiming to have had affairs with Woods - including a few porn stars - prompting his wife, Elin Nordegren, to make plans to move out. Many leaked voicemails, text messages, and e-mails have proved his infidelity, and the rumor mill is now running with the possibility of sex tapes, nude pictures, and illegitimate children. Plus, some sources claim that Woods' mistresses received large amounts of money from the golfer, including money to pay for plastic surgery! It is also being claimed that Woods was intoxicated at the time of his car accident, and was admitted to the hospital under a fake name to be treated for an overdose of prescription drugs Ambien and Vicodin.

The scandal has had massive repercussions for the golfer's career, causing marketers to pull all of their Tiger Woods ads from primetime television broadcast networks and 19 cable channels. Additionally, Gatorade is now dropping a new drink it had been working on, which was named for Woods. He was also supposed to be awarded the Congressional Gold Medal, the highest Congressional award to a civilian, but now, California Representative Joe Baca states: "In light of the recent developments surrounding Tiger Woods and his family, I will not pursue legislation awarding him the Congressional Gold Medal this session."

Eric Dane Involved in Risque Video Scandal



Word on the street is that Eric Dane, better known as Grey's Anatomy's Dr. Mark Sloane, can be seen in a homemade video posted on Gawker.com. Dane appears in the video - sans clothing - with his wife Rebecca Gayheart and friend Kari Ann Peniche, who you might know better as the Miss United States Teen gone wrong. The video, which is about two years old, depicts the inebriated group hanging out naked in a jacuzzi in Peniche's apartment and deciding on their porn names.

The tape was originally 12 minutes long, but was cut to 3 minutes, and was supposed to be deleted by Peniche. It was then allegedly stolen from Peniche's hard drive by her former Celebrity Rehab roommate, Mindy McCready. No lewd acts take place on the tape, but apparently you can see, um, a whole lot of Dr. McSteamy.
