Celebrity Teen Idols

Just hours after the car accident that appears to have stemmed from a domestic dispute with wife Elin Nodegren, Tiger Woods said he had to go buy her a huge ring.

That's according to someone who spoke with the golfing legend on Friday, after he crashed his car. Tiger told a friend, "I have to run to Zales to get a 'Kobe Special.'"

The person on the other end of the phone asked what a "Kobe Special" was. The reply: "A house on a finger." Tiger added that his wife had "gone ghetto" on him.

The Kobe reference pertains to the $4 million "adultery ring" the basketball star gave wife Vanessa after he nailed (and was accused of raping) a girl in Colorado.

While Tiger may very well have been joking about Kobe-style damage control, you have to wonder what he did to warrant a comment like that in the first place.

Tiger told the friend that his gorgeous wife had scratched his face up during an argument over reports that the golf great cheated on her with Rachel Uchitel.

Uchitel, right, spoke out last night and denied the affair took place. And maybe it didn't. But why would Elin flip out so bad if it weren't true? You have to wonder.

The Florida Highway Patrol is suspicious of Elin Woods' story that Tiger just drove off and hit a fire hydrant. Elin and Tiger have not yet been interviewed by police.

Woods' agent told the Florida Highway Patrol Tiger and Elin would not make themselves available to authorities Saturday. Is he waiting for his facial cuts to heal?

If Tiger and acknowledges a fight with Elin Woods, she could be arrested for domestic abuse. The Highway Patrol wants to examine the marks on Tiger's face.

He says he sustained the cuts in the crash. There is no blood in the car.

It's quite possible he's trying to protect his wife, who may or may not have attacked him, then chased him out of the house with a golf club, prompting the crash.

Driving under the influence of painkillers, which may have led Tiger to hit a hydrant and a tree while fleeing his own home at 2:25 a.m., may also be an issue.

According to reports, Elin Nordegren attacked husband Tiger Woods' car with a golf club early Friday morning, a rumor that would lead one to believe the golfer was having an extramarital affair.

But this isn't the case says Rachel Uchitel, the woman at the heart of the gossip.

As director of VIP services for Pink Elephant, a company that specializes in the NYC club scene, Uchitel admits she's met Woods on a couple of occasions. But she's never seen him outside work and never slept with him, she told The New York Post.

"This is nothing to do with me. We have never had an affair, and the claims we did are completely false... I am really upset about it because I am being portrayed as a homewrecker, when it simply isn’t true.”

Uchitel added that The National Enquirer paid a friend $25,000 to make up the story about her and Tiger.

She claims she offered to take a polygraph for the newspaper to prove her side, but "they refused it. They told me it was too late and the story was running anyway."

In October, Rachel was also accused of sleeping with married actor David Boreanaz. She referenced that in the interview:

“Other things have happened in my past that would prevent me from doing anything like this. I have traveled with men that are quietly more important than Tiger Woods and it is incredibly difficult to get to their hotel room,” she said, referring to the report that she snuck into Tiger's hotel room in Australia earlier this year.

Uchitel doesn't sound like a woman trying to sleep around and make a name for herself, does she?

As someone best known for saving par when facing a difficult lie, we'll see if Tiger can now save his marriage when faced with a series of lies.

In the ongoing drama with her ex-husband Ojani Noa, it is now being reported that Jennifer Lopez is being countersued for $100 million.

Kim Kardashian is koming to primetime.

And she's bringing Vanessa Minnillo with her.

"I play Kim's boyfriend, a musician named Sam Baker. Kim helps me get a second chance, but she has an ulterior motive."

Might it be to get famous by flaunting her breasts and reading off scripts on reality TV? If so, this casting choice finally makes sense.

Oprah Winfrey is not typically a source for celebrity gossip fodder.

But, hey, The National Enquirer, can't make up stories about only Rachel Uchitel all the time!

According to the supermarket tabloid, Oprah isn't just ending her talk show in 2011. She's soon calling it quits with very long-time boyfriend Stedman Graham.

Imaginary Sources say Oprah will disappear from TV once the Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN) is launched, help groom BFF Gayle King for her own program and end her relationship with Stedman in order to move in with King.

"Now that she's giving up her talk show, Oprah sees no reason to stay in Chicago," an insider said. "She was planning on making the transition to the Southern California area anyway, for the sake of her Oprah Winfrey Network.

"She and Gayle have a number of good friends in the Santa Barbara area, and they feel like it's home. They both love it there."

Showing off her fabulous figure, Juliana Didone was spotted enjoying a day on Pepe Beach in Rio de Janeiro on Friday (November 27).

The troubled Brazilian TV actress, who recently avoided the disclosure of an alleged homemade porn video, spent most of the afternoon sunbathing and swimming about in the ocean.

As the story continues to unfold, several reports are now claiming it wasn’t the minor car accident that scratched Tiger Woods’ face. It was his wife.

According to TMZ, his wife, Elin Nordegren, had confronted him about reports that he was seeing another woman which caused a heated argument, leading to Elin scratching the golfer’s face.

Out for some Friday afternoon errands, Paula Abdul was spotted out in Beverly Hills yesterday (November 27).

Enjoying an evening out, Stephanie Pratt was spotted going to a friend’s house in Los Angeles last night (November 27).

If you thought the Balloon Boy hoax was as far as you'd see aspiring reality TV jokers go for 15 minutes of fame, you don't know Michaele and Tareq Salahi.

The Virginia couple somehow managed to crash a state dinner at the White House this week and get up close and personal with President Barack Obama.

They are now the subject of a federal investigation.

The Secret Service is looking to file charges against Michaele and Tareq Salahi, who were attempting to land a spot on Bravo's The Real Housewives of D.C.

On Tuesday, the Salahis snuck into the president's first state dinner, honoring the prime minister of India, then posted pictures of themselves schmoozing.

Amazingly, Michaele and Tareq Salahi even managed to meet Barack and Michelle Obama in a receiving line, bypassing security with no invite or red flag.

Here's them with Vice President Joe Biden on Facebook:

You guys might want to take this pic off Facebook, just FYI.

On the verge of launching the D.C. installment of its reality franchise, Bravo is trying distance itself from it, saying the Salahis' participation is "not finalized."

"[Show producers] Half Yard Productions were filming the Salahis that day as they prepared for the event, that's the extent of our involvement," Bravo said Friday.

So they told producers they were invited and were filmed getting ready. That doesn't explain how they got in, of course, and President Obama isn't taking it lightly.

The matter has been referred to the Secret Service's internal affairs division, leading to a full investigation, according to Secret Service spokesman Jim Mackin.

While Mackin said the agency hasn't determined if party crashing is illegal, it hasn't ruled out pursuing criminal charges against the fame-seeking socialites.

Secret Services is taking full responsibility for the mishap, saying procedures likely weren't followed at the checkpoints and invites weren't checked properly.

Putting on another extraordinary show, Lady GaGa performed last night (November 27) at the opening night of The Monster Ball Tour at Bell Centre in Montreal, Canada.

Enjoying a getaway over the holiday weekend, George Clooney, Elisabetta Canalis, Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber were spotted in Mexico yesterday (November 27).

Tiger Woods' alleged affair with another woman - rumored to be Rachel Uchitel - may have sparked a fight with his wife, Elin Woods, that led to his car accident.

Woods did not suffer facial lacerations from a car accident, but rather from his wife Elin, according to a conversation the golf legend had Friday after the crash.

Tiger has yet to be interviewed by the Florida Highway Patrol, but apparently told a non-law enforcement type (who TMZ does not name) what went down.

The story goes like this: Elin Woods confronted him about reports that he was seeing another woman, Rachel Uchitel, a story that we reported yesterday.

The argument got heated and Elin scratched up Tiger's face.

At that point, Tiger made a break for it, trying to escape via his Cadillac SUV, but Elin Woods followed behind him in hot pursuit, with a golf club in hand!

Did Tiger Woods' car accident stem from a fight with Elin?

As he drove away, Elin struck the vehicle several times with the club, at which point Woods became "distracted" and thought the vehicle was stopped.

He looked to see what had happened, and his SUV hit a fire hydrant and then a tree. Good thing Elin had the golf club, because it helped him escape.

At least according to People and E!, which report Elin Woods smashed out the SUV's back window to free Tiger, who was in and out of consciousness.

The source also claims Woods was taking prescription pain medication for an injury, which may explain why he seemed a bit "out of it" at the scene.

Tiger Woods will be fine after the crash ultimately suffered only minor injuries ... whether Elin Woods inflicted them is another story.
