Did She Scratch Tiger's Face?For the first time in a while, it actually probably sucks to be Tiger Woods. Consider the facts. Bad year golfing. Rumors that he is having an affair with a woman involved in the strangely-named Pink Elephant club, reported to be loosely associated with the Nightclub scene.

Then, on the holiest of days, Black Friday, a day dedicated to shopping across the  entire country of the United States, Tiger Woods was in a small accident near his gated community. Miraculously, his super-model wife (who has denied the rumors that her super-golfer husband is cheating on her) used a golf club (I imagine the couple has more than few) to rescue Tiger.

Jeremy Irons, My Almost-FriendI have a confession to make.

I dissed Jeremy Irons. I know, I know. It is very uncool to diss a major celebrity who acts in strange and interesting films. There is very little I can say to justify it and it was a brief moment in time.

I was young and in South Korea. My friends and I were the only white faces in a sea of perhaps 3,000 South Koreans attending the Pusan International Film Festival and he was on stage talking about his film, "Chinese Box" which proceeded "The Blair Witch Project" in unusual camera work. He raised his sunglasses, which may or may not have been Oakley's and nodded at us with a big smile.

We ducked. What could we do?

Not so tough anymore.....Remember Carrie Prejean? Remember how she was graciously suing the Miss California USA Pageant Officials for a million dollars? Well, to put it nicely, the talented Miss Prejean has gracefully and graciously bowed out of the lawsuit. Did you hear why? Did she possibly have an attack of Christian conscience for the evils of a lawsuit or maybe feel bad for her remarks about Gay Marriage?

Jackson FamI’ll be honest. I was not a huge Michael Jackson fan. I loved “Thriller” and “Billie Jean” and admired the moonwalk more than I can truthfully say. In the later years of his youth, he got strange. Perhaps it began with the tragic hair-on-fire incident during the Pepsi commercial way back in the day, or maybe it was his embarrassment after his revelation on Oprah during the 90’s that he was  a virgin, but I ceased to empathize with him. I failed to understand his friendship with Mcauley Culkin or why exactly they needed to share a bed for slumber parties.

None of this, however, excuses the actions of his real-life family since his death. Let the man rest in peace.

Andre Agassi and His Mullet-Wig
Andre Agassi was wearing what appears to have been a Mullet-wig during the entire French Open in 1990. What is not yet known is why he selected such an awful looking hair-piece. By 1990, the mullet was pretty much dead (even in the shit-hole suburban town where I grew up) and he was pretty much not only a tennis champ, he was a cultural icon as well.

New Music Star?

Mr. Pattinson of Twilight fame might be making an album. Emphasis on might.

Well, la di dah, Mr. Pattinson. Just because you happen to have a perfectly sculpted face and your goth look lends itself well to stupid Vampire movies, do you really think you have what it takes to make it in the harsh music business? OK, I’m sure the teeming throngs of screaming middle school girls will help the album, but come on, really?

Where the Wild Things AreLet’s hear it for Maurice Sendak who just reminded parents that every single re-make of every children’s book or story does not have to be a watered down piece of regurgitated garbage. When told recently that the “Where the Wild Things Are” might be too frightening for kids, he suggested that the concerned parents to go hell and recommended that frightened children go home and wet their pants if necessary.

Alex TrebekAlex Trebek kicks ass.

I grew up watching Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune every night. Despite Ed Grimley's love for Pat Sajack, Pat was way too cheesy for me and Vannah White’s incredible letter-turning skills did absolutely nothing for me. I was, however, slightly in awe of Alex Trebek’s intellect as he kept up with his Cliff Claven doppelganger contestants.
