Gillette Dumps Tiger Woods
Responding to intense pressure from stock holders and the public, Gillette — makers of quality razor products — has dropped Tiger Woods as its sponsor.
This decision follows on the heels of Pepsico/Gatorade’s decision to decline renewing Woods’ sports drink contract — though Gatorade claimed the decision was made before Woods’ much publicized transgressions. None of us believe that though (good try, Pepsi).
A number of companies with smaller market footprints have also dropped Woods’ ads from prime time.
Gillette made its announcement as Woods announced his decision to take an indefinite hiatus from the world of golf to pursue his favorite pastime — bagging dumb blonds.
“As Tiger takes a break from the public eye, we will support his desire for privacy by limiting his role in our marketing programs,” said Gillette, a division of Procter & Gamble.
Celebrity Seeds Out Of Control
I give up trying to understand why Will & Jada let their kids do this to their hair. It is neither cute nor fashionable to look like a walking cartoon or a one-hit wonder.
Do better Will and Jada!

It’s Moving Day For Tiger Woods; And Dwight Howard Says, “What Lawsuit?”
TMZ paparazzi snapped this pic of a moving truck in the driveway of Tiger Woods’ $2.6 million Islewood mansion in Florida today. It seems the rumors of Tiger’s wife Elin leaving him were a bit premature. In fact, it is Tiger whose stuff is being put out on the lawn.
A truck pulled up to Tiger Woods’ home an hour ago in Windermere, Florida and removed 5 big boxes from the house.
The truck driver went inside and removed 5 or 6 moving boxes from the house, put them in the back of the truck and left. We got a pic of the truck as it sat in the driveway.
A security team watched as the boxes were removed, and then flanked the truck as it left the property.
No word on who’s stuff is being moved, but Elin Nordegren and the kids have been living there since the incident two weeks ago. Tiger has been nowhere in sight. Read More…
And while we’re on the subject of baby daddies with 7 figure salaries, the Orlando Sentinel has a interview with NBA star Dwight Howard who is supposedly suing his baby mama for $9.2 mil. Howard says, “What lawsuit?”
Howard said he didn’t know of any suit filed in Orange County, Ca., as reported by TMZ.com.
“This is on TMZ?” Howard asked. “I haven’t seen it. I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
According to the report, Reed has been bad-mouthing Howard on an internet site, saying, among other things, that he hasn’t seen his son Braylon, 2, in two months.
“That’s not right at all. I just saw my son in Altanta two weeks ago (on Thanskgiving),” Howard said. “You know I see my son.”
Howard did not want to offer further comment. Read More…
Chris Brown Just Killed His Career
Chris Brown took to his Twitter page today to whine and b*tch about his record sales before the sales figures have even been released.
Industry estimates of first week sales indicate Brown’s album “Graffiti” is about to do quadruple zirconia and he’s not happy. So the immature punk took to Twitter to blame the record stores for not stocking his crappy CDs rather than blame himself for making wack music.
This is what happens when record labels puts the focus on image and looks rather than talent and common sense. It’s time for his label to launch this ungrateful snot nose kid back to Virginia along with his moms and ‘em.
Thanks to loyal reader Tiffany for the tip!
Celebs Out & About
Music mogul Sean Combs set off GayDars all over town when he sucked face with Jon Brod of AOL at an AOL event two days ago. Sean and Jay Z have perfected the art of kissing up to corporate bigwigs and because of that, they will never be broke.
Legendary singer/songwriter Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds, showed off his mixed race seed Peyton Edmonds at the HollyRod Foundation and J.Crew private shopping event at The Grove in LA yesterday. That’s Peyton’s mom Nicole Pantenburg.
Actress/socialite Tatyana Ali attended Debbie Allen’s “OMAN, Oh Man!” Opening Night Gala in Westwood, California last night. She looks like somebody’s mother now. It was just yesterday when she played the impossibly cute Ashley on “Fresh Prince.”
Add Jamie Grubb’s name to the growing list of professional leg spreaders who grace red carpets for one reason only. Jamie was actually invited to the Simine Hashemizdeh’s Holiday Red Carpet Event in Hollywood last night.
Reality TV personality Kim Zolciak performed her smash hit “Tardy For The Party” at Splash Bar in NYC last night. Too bad we missed it.
Monica Danger: ‘I Suffered Postpartum Illness’
TMZ‘s cameras caught up with troubled reality TV personality Monica Danger on a street yesterday. She confirmed reports that she was locked up in a psych hospital after experiencing a psychotic break due to postpartum depression (though I believe there’s more to it than just that).

Monica became depressed after giving birth to a daughter earlier this month and shaved off all her hair.
Monica also used the time honored and worn out excuse that someone “hacked” her Twitter page and wrote some untrue things about her, such as she’s pregnant again. We’re glad to hear that’s not true because she doesn’t need anymore kids. Po’ thang.
Hopefully, the judge will order her to stay off twitter, the Internets and all reality TV shows.
Do better Monica!
Morning Wood: Linford Christie *Updated*
Scroll down for update…
When I saw this pic of Olympic track & field legend Linford Christie on a message board, I was immediately intrigued. I had to find more pics for today’s Morning Wood because I knew my old heads would appreciate his chocolaty goodness!
At the age of 46, Christie is still physically active and fine!
His daughter is Miss England 2009, who won the crown amid much controversy and allegations of fraud.
Update:

Hi Sandra
Just thought I would point out to you that Rachel Christie (who no longer is Miss England ater fighting another beauty queen over her man who is a gladiator) is not Lindford’s daughter. Linford is Rachel’s Uncle. One of Lindfords brothers is Rachels Dad.
More pics after the break!
