Tiger Woods returning to golf, hires Ari Fleischer

Scandalized golfing great Tiger Wood will return to the game he loves (not talking about skirt-chasing) when he plays the Arnold Palmer Invitational starting March 25 in Orlando, Fla., the New York Post reports.

As The Post has it, Ari Fleischer, a former presidential advisor to George W. Bush, is helping Woods strategize a return to the public eye.

Fleischer previously helped roided up slugger Mark McGwire repair his image.

Woods apologized last month for a stream of affairs that threatened to destroy his career and marriage.

Can Tiger win you back?

“Their daughter has done the right thing and reported this matter to the police,” a statement from the lawyers reportedly says. “She has been, and will be, available to the authorities to assist them in the criminal investigation. While the matter is under investigation, we ask you to respect her privacy, keep her name out of the press and allow the family space and time to heal.”

The 20-year-old Georgia College student told police Roethlisberger, a Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback from Findlay, assaulted her early Friday, according to the Associated Press.

Roethlisberger has not been charged and denies allegations.

Howard Stern compares Gabourey Sidibe’s weight to suicide

Days after calling sweet as a cherry pie Oscar nominee Gabourey Sidibe ‘the most enormous, fat black chick’ he’s ever seen, Howard Stern and his co-host Robin Quivers continued to verbally push the fat kid around the school yard.

On his show Wednesday, March 10, Stern responded to critics of his early statements and compared Sidibe’s obesity to the recent suicide attempt of one of the show’s co-hosts, according to Examiner.com.

“Like, I kind of don’t see a difference between what our Artie did-Artie tried to kill himself. And I feel this girl, in a slower way…she’s gonna kill herself,” Stern reportedly said.

Earlier this week, Stern and Quivers went on and on about how “Precious” would be Sidibe’s only movie because she is too fat ( actually too fat and too black) for Hollywood and its absurd to think she has a shot at a career in the movies.

“Everyone’s pretending she’s a part of show business and she’s never going to be in another movie,” Stern said. “She should have gotten the Best Actress award because she’s never going to have another shot. What movie is she gonna be in?”

Quivers was even tougher, calling Sidibe sick and criticizing Oprah for encouraging Sidibe to continue acting.

“Look in that room, who else do you look like,” Quivers said. “Those are the people who work all of the time.”

Sidibe has already proven the bullying duo wrong.

She’s landed a role in the Showtime series ‘The C Word’ and will star in the movie ‘Yelling to the Sky’ with and her next big-screen appearance will be opposite Zoe Kravitz in the drama

But Quivers and Stern do make a point, most of Hollywood’s actresses are a buck 10. Still there are plenty of plump actors.

Lindsay Lohan sues E*Trade’s ‘milkaholic” baby

It seems Li-Lo doesn’t want to be made fun of by a computer enhanced baby.

Actress Lindsay Lohan has filed a lawsuit against E*Trade Financial Corp for $100 million, claiming the company’s “milkaholic” baby girl ripped off her likeness, according to the New York Post.

“Lindsay,” the milkaholic in the commercial , pops into a conversation between a baby couple after the girl baby implied that ‘milkaholic Lindsay’ may have been the reason the boy baby didn’t call her the night before.

“Milk-a-what,” the baby Lindsay says.

Lohan, who has famously had issues with the bottle, claims E*Trade violated her right of privacy by using her “likeness, name, characterization, and personality” without permission, according to Reuters.

There are a lot of Lindays in the world, but Lohan’s attoney told the Post that his client has the same single-name recognition as Oprah or Madonna.

Really? Wow.

Seems Lohan might be being overly sensitive this time, but what do you think?

“Blah Blah Blah” singer talks smack about lip-syncing Britney Spears

Ke$ha thinks Britney Spears should actually sing on stage.

The Tik Tok singer recently called Spears out for lip-syncing on her world tour.

“I think that’s bulls*, the 23-year-old whispered during an interview with the Scotland’s Daily Record.

Ke$ha knows a little about Spears’ ability. She sang background on Spear’s 2008 song “Lace and Leather.”

And the “Blah Blah Blah” singer didn’t stop there. There was more blah blah blah.

I don’t think that’s fair at all for people who are going to see the show. I think if you are going to be a singer, you should sing. If you are going to be a dancer, you should dance.

“If you are going to do a combination of the two, you should make it very clear when you are singing and very clear when you are dancing. I would never do that to my fans.

“No offense to her specifically but people have asked me before to mime. I have been up at three in the morning for a television show with jet lag but I refuse to mime.

“It’s treating people as if they are too stupid to realize you are not actually singing. Sometimes it is hard to sing and dance at the same time but I would rather be off and be real and genuine about it to my fans. I don’t want to treat my fans like they are stupid.

“That is my take on my fans and life in general. My whole record is super-honest. I am really honest. When I am singing I may sound s*** sometimes but at least you’ll know I’m singing.”

Last year about a 100 ticked off fans stormed out of a Britney Spears show in Australia disappointed in her lip syncing.

Is Ke$ha right. Has lip syncing gone overboard?

Woman claims threesome with Charlie Sheen and wife

Things just keep getting freakier for Charlie Sheen and his newest wife Brooke Mueller.

The celebrity gossip site Radar Online says a woman is ready to spill the beans about her supposed threesome with Sheen and Mueller.

We’ve also learned that the woman is single, not a prostitute and is shopping her story to the highest bidder. One source told RadarOnline.com that she has already had an offer of $40,000 to tell her story, Radar says.

The website claims the woman is not the only third to enter the “Two and a Half Men” star’s bed.

Sheen’s life has been in a public train wreck in recent months.

His publicist announced last week that Sheen, who is awaiting trial on domestic violence related charges, had entered rehab. Mueller, the alleged victim of her husband’s violent temper, is in rehab at her home.

Mueller told police Sheen pinned her on a bed, put a knife to her throat and threatened to kill her in a Christmas Day fight.

Sheen has been charged with felony menacing and misdemeanor charges of third-degree assault and criminal mischief.

What do you think?
