Tiger Woods of the USA speaks to the media during a press
conference after round one of the 2009 Australian Masters at
Kingston Heath Golf Club on November 12, 2009 in Melbourne,
Australia. Tiger Woods' texts to his alleged mistresses, including
Jaimee Grubbs and Rachel Uchitel, were pretty raunchy, and some
even gushy. According to Us magazine, Tiger and Jaimee traded
messages that included things like "I will wear you out soon."
Jaimee allegedly sent a message to Tiger saying: "then get your
tight ass over here and visit me! I need u." Tiger apparently sent
texts to her like, "quietly and secretively we will always be
together ...when was the last time you got laid."
The golfer has also been said to have sent texts to at least one
more alleged mistress: Rachel Uchitel. CBS News reports that he
sent the first mistress revealed in the affair saga messages like:
"I want you to lay next to me, lay on me or where ever you want to
lay," and "I know it's brutal on you that you can't be with me all
the time."
The whole Tiger affair scandal started when he got into a one-car
crash outside his Florida mansion around 2am November 27. Rumors
spread that the accident was a result of the golf pro's wife Elin
Nordegren coming after his SUV with a golf club after she found out
about his infidelity, and things have rapidly spiraled downward
since then.
We almost need to start counting the alleged mistresses on our toes
now, as Rachel Uchitel, Jaimee Grubbs, Kalika Moquin, Jamie
Jungers, Mindy Lawton, Cori Rist, Holly Sampson, and Joslyn James
have all been romantically linked to the guy over the last couple
weeks.

We also have much in common. We can both grow thick beards, we both
live with elves, and we both find it enjoyable to enter my house
through the chimney. There are differences, too. As I get older, I
don’t like strangers sitting on my lap as much as I once did. I
rarely wear matching velvet jacket/pant combos, and I’ve found that
I’m wearing fur-trimmed boots less and less for reasons I can’t
explain. Now, my main issue through the years with Santa has been
the fact that he gets all crazy busy after Thanksgiving and he then
seemingly goes on an 11-month vacation the day after Christmas.
It’s a bit annoying, frankly. Everywhere I go lately, there’s Santa
all smiling and spreading cheer. I go to another spot and Santa has
already beaten me there and is, you guessed it, spreading more
cheer. I’m dubious of people that can travel that fast. The Express
was granted an exclusive, no-holds-barred interview with Santa.
Here are some highlights.
Get Out! Santa, it seems like you’ve been downright ubiquitous
these past few weeks. I’ve seen you on television more than Tiger
Woods. Why not pace yourself?
Santa: It’s very important that I get out and make sure that I’m
meeting as many kids as I can, and figuring out who has been
naughty and who’s been nice. I’m happy to report that I’ve come
across many wonderful little ones in my travels through
Pembroke.
Get Out! I saw you at the tree lighting this past weekend, and when
you took the stage, you appeared to be doing a sorta “raise the
roof” dance move that reminded me of the way I dance whenever I
hear a song by the Notorious B.I.G. Is this a move you’ve been
working on lately?
Santa: I’m an excellent dancer. I typically don’t break out my
moves, because I usually have a giant bag of toys that I’m dragging
around. Seeing all the kids there on the Town Green made me lose
myself for a minute. That was an excellent event. It felt like a
Norman Rockwell painting.
Get Out! There seems to be some confusion about what Santa really
likes kids to leave out for him the night before Christmas. It
seems some parents insist on cookies, others on reindeer food, and
some say beer. Which is it?
Santa: Cookies are the best. A man needs to keep his figure, and a
few cookies at every single house around the world really help me
stay plump.
Get Out! My three-year-old daughter Grace says that she only wants
scissors for Christmas. She pronounces them “fwissors,” in case you
missed it when you guys met the other day. The upside of her only
wanting scissors is that we (you and I) could probably make her
Christmas complete for less than $5. Is that the wrong attitude?
What are some hot gift ideas?
Santa: Three-year-olds and scissors are a bad idea on many, many
levels. A lot of kids are asking for Bakugans, Matchboxes, Barbies,
anything Dora the Explorer-related, Transformers and Nintendo
games. Those seem to be the hot items this year.
Get Out! How do you determine naughty or nice?
Santa: It’s a balancing act. Kids that are doing well in school or
trying hard are usually on my good list. Kids that help their
parents and are well behaved also usually have a great Christmas
morning. There are a lot of different things that can land a child
on the naughty list. Talking back to their parents isn’t good.
Getting arrested also typically doesn’t help.
Get Out! Listen, I know you’ve got to go stand in front of a
Polaroid camera soon, so any final words?
Santa: I want to thank all the people that helped coordinate my
trips to Pembroke. I can be high-maintenance, and everybody did
such a great job. I’ve been reading all the letters from the kids,
and I’m working these elves hard to make sure everybody’s wish list
is fulfilled. Rudolph and his gang are ready to roll. I’ll be
sliding down your chimneys before you know it. I want to wish all
the Pembrokians out there a happy holiday season.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Chad Johnson Ochocinco Mellancamp
was fined by the NFL thirty thousand dollars this week for wearing
a sombrero. In twenty-plus-years of covering sports, I have never
had to type or say the phrase "fined for wearing a sombrero."
Never.
In honor of this milestone, I'll be purchasing some kind of Bengals
apparrel this weekend. Ochocinco is good for business, even if the
NFL has to paint him as a bad guy. He's the "El Barto" of the
league.
Pittsburgh at Cleveland
Listed as "questionable" for the game: Hines Ward, William Gay, the
Cleveland browns organization.
Pick: Steelers
New Orleans at Atlanta
My favorite random NFL fact of all time? The Falcons have never had
back-to-back winning seasons. They'll need to win three of the next
four to change that, and based on what the Saints did last week,
it'll require divine intervention to win here.
Pick: Saints
NY Jets at Tampa Bay
Jets QB Mark Sanchez is ticked that he's not going to be playing in
this one due to a knee injury. Sorry to inform Sanchez, but he's
the quarterback for the Jets. This is just one in a series of
disappointments.
Pick: Bucs
Detroit at Baltimore
Daunte Culpepper will be starting at quarterback for the Lions.
Remember, Culpepper usually looks good when he initially faces a
defense, but when they realize he only knows four plays, it's all
downhill from there. Culpepper is a "Tecmo Bowl" kind of
quarterback.
Pick: Ravens
Seattle at Houston
Houston's season is falling apart so fast, only hummingbirds can
see it fully.
Pick: Seahawks
Buffalo at Kansas City
Terrell Owens signed with a modeling agency this week. Apparently
it was the only industry he could think of where he'd look
humble.
Pick: Bills
Cincinnati at Minnesota
Say what you want about Chad Ochocinco's celebrations, at least
he's scoring. Darius Heyward-Bey might have some outlandish stuff
in mind, but we may never get the chance to be offended by it.
Pick: Bengals
Carolina at New England
The Patriots are angry. We don't like them when they're angry. Of
course, most people don't like the Panthers regardless of their
emotional state.
Pick: Patriots
Washington at Oakland
If you haven't yet seen it, check out former Skins kicker Shaun
Suisham's Wikipedia page following his game-losing performance
against the Saints. He was pronounced as "poo."
Pick: Raiders
St. Louis at Tennessee
Wasn't this a Super Bowl once? Yeah, I don't remember either.
Pick: Titans
San Diego at Dallas
Technically, Cowboys lineman Flozell Adams got an unsportsmanlike
conduct penalty at halftime of the Giants game. I fully expect the
refs to check him for foreign objects before the game.
Pick: Chargers
Also, I'll take the Packers over bears, Dolphins over Jags, Colts
over everyone, Eagles over Giants, and Cardinals over Niners. I'll
also take Tiger Woods' address books over Tiger Woods' scorecard,
"The Blind Side" over the vampire movie, and Gary Busey, nutball,
over Gary Busey, new father.

Kate Gosselin got some good press this week, what with being named
one of Barbara Walters' 10 Most Fascinating People of 2009. Her
estranged hubby? Not so much. Yes, it was Pile on Jon Gosselin Day
at a Maryland courthouse as the preliminary hearing kicked off in
his and TLC's dueling civil suits over Jon & Kate Plus 8. And
the octodad sure picked a good time to be MIA as TLC honcho Edward
Sabin tore Gosselin apart.
Per Radar Online, Sabin said his star's extracurricular activities
(ranging from Vegas pool parties with bikini-clad babes to
promoting his Hollywood Rebel clothing line) was not only
"embarassing" but "it made the show look bad and was like "pouring
oil on the fire" of the bad publicity engufling the once
family-friendly reality show.
And that's where we come in...
Sabin said the tipping point in his battles with Papa Gosselin came
after he tried to do an interview with our very own E!
Entertainment Television—what Sabin called a blatant violation of
an exclusivity clause in Gosselin's TLC contract. That interview
was eventually dropped but he did eventually land paid deals with
Entertainment Tonight and The Insider.
But that's not all. Sabin listed several potential side projects
that Gosselin wanted to do despite being under TLC's lock-and-key,
including a proposed reality show with Michael Lohan called
Divorced Dads Club as well as a couple of Super Bowl spots.
So far, lawyers have deposed Lohan and Gosselin's former female
sidekicks Hailey Glassman and Kate Major. No word on where Gosselin
was today—attorney Mark Heller had earlier said that Gosselin would
be present. In this countersuit, the former reality patriarch
claims TLC took advantage of him and made him sign an overly
restrictive contract, harmed his reputation and violated
Pennsylvania's child labor laws. Now the showdown will be decided
by a jury. A trial date has been set for April 19.

As new reports of alleged extra-marital affairs continue to
surface, Gatorade announced Tuesday that it would discontinue its
Tiger Woods sports drink. Gatorade says the decision to drop Woods'
product was made “months ago” and has nothing to do with the recent
public events involving the embattled golf star.
In an official statement released Tuesday, the company said: “We
decided several months ago to discontinue Gatorade Tiger Focus
along with some other products to make room for our planned series
of innovative products in 2010. We hope to share more about our
2010 plans soon.”
“Gatorade Tiger Focus” was launched last spring and was the only
product to contain theanine, which is said to reduce mental and
physical stress. The partnership was unprecedented because Woods
received royalties from sales of the beverage, rather than a
contractual amount for an endorsement. The news came just days
after the company told FoxNews.com that it would not drop Woods
from his endorsement deal following a mysterious car crash outside
his Florida home last month. Days later, rumors of at least eleven
alleged extramarital affairs surfaced. Woods has apologized for
“transgressions” that let his family and fans down.
Gatorade Tiger Focus is the first of Woods’ endorsements to end
since the scandal began. While the company is dropping Woods'
drink, it was unclear Tuesday whether or not he would appear in any
future advertisements connected to the company.
