Tiger Woods is the New OJ...But Not For "THAT" Reason

General Motors. General Mills. Nike. American Express. Gatorade.

These are just a few of the high-profile companies that are endorsed by Tiger Woods. Not only is he the richest athelete in the world, he is also one of the most marketable.

At least until he crashed his car that night. Now the advertisers are pulling his ads and dropping him like a bad habit because of the crash investigation and alleged "transgressions" (in Tiger's own words).

The same could have been said about OJ Simpson, who @ the height of his career was a high-profile spokesman for Hertz rental car company, Pioneer Chicken, Honeybaked Hams, the pX Corporation, the Calistoga Water Company's line of Napa Naturals soft drinks. He was at the height of his popularity and just off a Hall-of-Fame NFL career when he was charged with the double homicide of his ex-wife and her friend.

Although Tiger has not committed murder, he has played this situation BADLY. First of all, he should have taken the responsibilty and owned up to his wrongdoing instead of hiding while it only gets worse. All of his alleged "mistresses" have been coming out of the woodwork trying to cash in on their affairs with him. The only one that is being smart about it is the 1st one, Rachel Uchitel, who lawyered-up real quick and has since been paid some "hush money" from Woods, which is more than the others will get from talking.

His "squeaky-clean' image is all but shattered because of this, and people are never going to look at him in the same light. Of course he will continue to be a great golfer, but he will never get his image of a family man back, especially since it is so many "alleged" mistresses. We thought that we knew Tiger Woods, and this situation along with OJ's, shows that we didn't.

I watched videos of people's reactions and opinions during the "trial of the century", and some people felt that the OJ that they knew would never do something like that. Apparently, that is what we thought of Woods too...That he would NEVER do something like this.

But guess what; WE WERE WRONG. I think that his celebrity had brought a sense of makes him forfeit his personal life and privacy, even though I feel that everyone makes mistakes, he is a BIG part of our culture, especially in sports, and people are gonna have an interest in this, especially if it is SO JUICY ;-)

When I heard that Tiger Woods was in the hosptial in serious condition, I remember saying a little prayer, thinking that we might lose one of the most popular black atheletes ever. I am not a golf fan, but I will watch if Tiger is in it. That's why it shocked me to learn that he might be slipping away.

And then...came...the DRAMA!!!!! I knew EXACTLY what happened after I heard that he had been arguing with his wife over an alleged affair and all he got from his car crashing into a TREE was some "facial lacerations". I knew right then that Ms. Elin had either slapped him in the mouth or punched him in the jaw. (We don't know what Mrs. Woods is like so we cannot say whether she did or not but that's what I thought happened).

Tiger needs to just MAN UP and take responsibility, before he loses his wife, his endorsements (90% of his total income comes from ads), and his already tarnished image.

Does this look familiar???

How Did Someone Uninvited Get This Close To Obama???

Michaele and Tareq Salahi played "crashers" at President Obama's very first State dinner on November 24th as if they were Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn and this was a high-profile wedding.

However, it was not a wedding at all; it was a dinner with Obama and the Indian president at the White House. It wasn't a backyard barbeque or cookout at their house in Chicago...it was the WHITE HOUSE!!!!!

First of all, whoever is responsible for letting uninvited people in should be FIRED!!!!! How could you let two uninvited guests into the White House and let them get up & close with the President of the United States??? What if they were to pose some sort of threat while at the White House? They were allowed to get up close to our President and I hate to think of the possibility that something could have gone wrong or at least a scene could have been made while there.

The Salahis claimed to have received their invitation from someone at the White House via email, but it was found otherwise and I find it hard to believe that the invitation to a State dinner at the White House with the President of the United States would be sent out through email. It is laughable that they have become famous because of this, and not suprising that Michaele is trying to join the cast of the new show, Real Housewives of D.C.

Is this what we are willing to sacrifice for a little bit of fame? They could possibly face criminal charges according to a Secret Service spokesman, and I don't think that breaking the law is a good move just to be on a TV show. I guess her life is not as good without this controversy so she needed to up the ante.

I can't help but think that if Obama was white and the Salahis were black, they would not have made it onto the White House lawn, let alone shake hands with the President. This might be the wrong way of looking at it, but I feel as though Bush had a little bit better security...@ least at the White House.

By the way, I don't think that it was smart to try to sneak in ANYWHERE with that UGLY dress on...I'm just saying :-(
