After all that Tiger did to Elin, and all that’s come out about his affairs, can you blame her for being upset at the stupid ass Nike commercial featuring Tiger looking all cowed as his deceased dad gives him a lecture? It’s like all of Tiger’s massive, disgusting indiscretions can be chalked up to some kid acting out and getting scolded by a parent. What’s more is that they’re using the scandal to sell products.

People Magazine, which has had insider information in the Tiger scandal in the past, claims that Elin Woods was “violently angry” when she saw that commercial. That prompted her to take off alone out of Florida “for a destination unknown.” People previously claimed that Elin left to go visit her sick mom in a US hospital. Did that happen or was the truth that she just need to get the hell out after all she’s dealt with? What’s more is that Elin is understandably completely over Tiger, she’s said to have gone numb and to be “moving on.” She hasn’t quite filed for divorce yet, though, or of course we’d be hearing about it:

His wife Elin Nordegren skipped the golf star’s big comeback at the Masters and was described as disgusted and outraged by his Nike commercial featuring a voiceover by his late father. After Woods finished the tournament, coming in fourth, Nordegren flew out of Florida without her husband and their two children – they were left with nannies – for a destination unknown, friends say.

“Elin was violently angry over this commercial and thought it was a cheesy thing to do,” one friend tells PEOPLE. “She wouldn’t have gone near the Masters under any condition, but that just made her madder. She is over Tiger. I wouldn’t be surprised if she files for divorce sometime soon.”

So far, though, it’s only been talk among friends. No legal papers have been filed, and it hasn’t even been confirmed that she’s retained a divorce attorney.

Still, another friend says Nordegren has run out of patience with Woods, taking offense with his return to golf – she had been led to believe he was going to take more time off. (On Wednesday morning it was reported that Woods has sent his entry to the U.S. Open, to be held June 17-20 at Pebble Beach, Calif.)

At home in Florida while Woods competed in Georgia, Nordegren didn’t watch a broadcast of the tournament, using the TV instead for movies and videos for the children.

“She’s so far beyond hurt now. If she were angry or if she hated him, they might still have a chance to work it out. But she’s beyond that. She’s numb. She just doesn’t care anymore. She’s like, ‘Whatever.’ Elin’s not the type to get all weepy or have pity parties for herself. She mourned the loss of this marriage, and now she’s moving on. It’s the only thing she can do.”

What can you do with a guy like Tiger? There’s so much irrefutable evidence that he banged women basically every chance he had, that he didn’t use condoms, and that he only showed remorse when he was completely busted. It’s not like you can trust someone like that ever again. You can suck it up and live with it, trying to work it out if you’re willing to, or get out. Either way, it’s a really difficult decision and one that comes with drawbacks on both sides.

TMZ reports that the home that Elin purchased on a private island in Sweden is currently undergoing renovations, which may be evidence that she’s ready to get the hell out. Pack your stuff, Elin!

The Masters were the highest rated in nine years this week, thanks to Tiger Woods’ much anticipated comeback. Woods wasn’t the victor this time and placed in fourth. Phil Mickelson took home his third Masters title. It wasn’t an atypical performance from Cheetah, as much as I’d like to see him firmly planted on his face. He placed fifth last year, but has won the Masters four times: in 1997, 2001, 2002, and 2005.

The good news is that Mickelson, 39, has a much more compelling personal story. His wife Amy has been battling breast cancer since last year and his mother was diagnosed with cancer just a few weeks later. Mickelson has been alternating between spending time with his wife, their three children and his mother and playing golf. He said that the win was very special for him and his family and was “something I’ll always cherish.” His wife Amy was there at the tournament to watch her husband. She gave him a hug on the 18th hole, and Mickelson dedicated the trophy to her.

An emotional Phil Mickelson dedicated his third Masters win to his wife, who has been battling breast cancer.

“It feels incredible. I could go on and on about why but to win this tournament is a special, special day,” said Mickelson, who won by three shots.

“It’s something I’ll always cherish. It’s been an emotional year. I’m very proud of my wife and the fight and struggle she’s been through.

“This win has been one of the best things we’ve been through.”

Mickelson’s closing 67 gave him a 16-under-par aggregate of 272 and it was the first of his four majors – he also won the 2005 USPGA – where he has come from behind on the last day to win.

The deficit to Lee Westwood with 18 holes to play was only one but Mickelson produced a bogey-free round with five birdies to usurp the Englishman at the top of the leaderboard and seal the title.

The left-hander became overcome with emotion and shared a long embrace with wife Amy just off the 18th green.

“I was just really glad she was there – I wasn’t sure she was going to be – and it’s something that I’ll look back on and just cherish,” he revealed.

“To have Amy and my kids here to share it with, I can’t put into words. It just feels incredible, especially given what we’ve been through in the last year.”

It feels nice to celebrate a golfer and all around decent person. Mickelson is a real contrast to Tiger and his self-inflicted problems. According to Forbes, Mickelson was the second top earning golfer in 2008. He made $38 million in endorsements in 2008 in comparison to Tiger’s $110 million. Maybe those numbers will be a little closer in 2010.

Meanwhile Tiger’s wife Elin hasn’t filed for divorce yet but she’s not exactly sticking around cheering for him on the sidelines. Radar Online reports that Elin flew on a private jet out of Orlando by herself over the weekend. It’s possible she went to see Tiger, but Radar also claims that she’s determined to go on a vacation by herself. She’s definitely earned it.

Update: According to People, Elin was headed out alone to visit her mother in the hospital, who has been receiving treatment in the US for an undisclosed illness.

One of the strangest things happened with Jim Carrey over the past few days. He was sitting around, tweeting away, and he decided to put his two cents in about Tiger and Elin Woods. I think maybe Jim was watching the Masters golf tournament? Maybe? Whatever, so Jim took to Twitter to discuss his feelings on Tiger and his whores and his marriage, and Jim set off a firestorm. At first, Jim basically just said that we should leave Tiger alone and let him play golf, writing: “Tiger Woods owes nothing 2 anyone but himself. 2 please his father he gave up his childhood and his freedom in the world. That’s enough!” The next tweet, however, caused more consternation: “No wife is blind enough to miss that much infidelity. Elin had 2 b a willing participant on the ride 4 whatever reason. kids/lifestyle ;^)” Now, Jim hasn’t pulled down those tweets, but he did write later that “I do not condone infidelity” and “infidelity has never been an issue 4 me”. Which isn’t how I remember his past relationships, but whatever. Then Jim said that his “people” told him to take it down a notch. Here’s some of the exchange:

[Screencaps of Jim Carrey’s tweets - to read chronologically, read bottom to top]

Ugh. Don’t murder me in my sleep, but I see where Jim is coming from. I’m not saying I agree with his assessment of Elin being a “willing participant” but I can totally understand how Jim was just sitting around and he decided to throw out a theory on Elin and Tiger’s marriage via Twitter. It’s just how he was thinking at the time, and it’s not like he wrote “Every married man should go out and screw as many ladies as he wants, all the time.” The sheer quantity of Tiger’s whores has made me idly wonder if Elin had an inkling too – but then I think about the dozens of enablers Tiger has around him, servicing his every whim and covering his tracks, and it makes sense of Elin could not have known.

Now, notice how Jim doesn’t really want to pontificate on Sandra Bullock’s marriage though. Interesting…

I never particularly liked Nike after I heard about the sweatshop conditions in which most of their goods are manufactured. Apparently they’ve taken measures to address that, and it’s not like they’re the only company who employs third world workers for very little pay in terrible conditions. I try not to buy their products when possible, and just yesterday I decided against buying a baseball cap with a Nike logo for my son. The thing that really made me pass up the hat, as superficial as it is, was Nike’s continued support of Tiger Woods. I know it’s infinitely worse to exploit people, but the way Nike stood by Tiger was just more evidence of what an arrogant, inflexible company it is.

Tiger starts competing at the Masters today, and Nike has decided to take advantage of that, and address the scandal, with a new ad airing on ESPN and The Golf Channel. The commercial is shot in black and white and features Tiger staring into the camera while a voice over by his departed dad, Earl Woods, gives him a lecture. Earl’s voice says “Tiger, I am more prone to be inquisitive, to promote discussion. I want to find out what your thinking was. I want to find out what your feelings are. And did you learn anything?” Tiger looks wide-eyed and blinks pitifully, the Nike logos visible on his hat and vest.

Just yesterday we heard about yet another Tiger conquest, the 21 year-old daughter of one of his neighbors who slept with him once and then realized that she shouldn’t mess around with a married man. Radar Online reports that the National Enquirer, is about to run the story. They claim that Tiger texted and pursued the young woman after they had sex once in an office in his home, but that “she felt guilty about having sex with a married man and never got back together with him.” Nike apparently doesn’t share this woman’s level of shame at ever having been in bed with Tiger.

What’s this ad supposed to show us, that Nike is associated with lame cheating assh*les? That’s all I get from this, that Nike is the go-to brand for men who piss their lives away and then come crawling back begging for forgiveness.

While Tiger Woods is hoping to capitalize on the media’s sudden distraction due to another cheating and sex scandal thanks to Jesse James, one person who isn’t so quick to forget what the golf master did is his wife, Elin. Tiger has been the center of a media whirlwind this week as he announced his return to golf -with Elin nowhere in sight- which seems to have prompted another round of words from his multiple mistresses. Sources say that Elin has read some of these accounts, including the racy “Vanity Fair” article, and is not happy.

Not sure exactly how she got it, but Elin Woods read writer Mark Seal’s explosive ”The Temptation of Tiger Woods” expose in the new Vanity Fair — approximately two weeks ago.

A Woods source tells me the story made ”Elin even madder than she was already,” and reportedly convinced her to rethink her earlier decision to stick with the marriage — ”for the time being.”

According to the source, it also finalized her feelings about next week’s Masters tournament.

”While Elin pretty much knew she wasn’t going … after reading the Vanity Fair story, she became totally committed to avoiding that circus — and made that very clear to Tiger, in no uncertain terms.”

This same reporter says that a couple of weeks before The Masters, Elin and Tiger had a big blowout because Elin doesn’t think Tiger’s reconcilication efforts and sex rehab stint are sincere. Ya THINK?

Here’s the latest I’m hearing about the current state of the Tiger and Elin Woods ”reconciliation”:

It’s not going well at all.

I’ve learned the couple’s much-touted weekend fight focused on several issues:

• Elin believes Tiger is only giving lip service to his recovery and is convinced he’s still more worried about getting his golf career back on track — rather than Elin’s feelings about their relationship.

• Tiger’s wife also is furious about the ongoing revelations about his past indiscretions, and believes there are even more women who will come forward with stories, text messages, photos and even videos.

• Another problem: Elin thinks Tiger is not as attentive as he should be to their two children — despite his claim his kids are so important to him.

• Along with having her lawyers continuing to draft divorce documents, Elin reportedly is planning to head back to Sweden for a visit with her family — joined by her children. ”She wants to be out of the country when Tiger plays the Masters,” a good source said Monday.

The legal work has been on the back burner as Elin made one last attempt to save the marriage after Tiger got out of rehab.

Their conversations this weekend — which led to the big fight, followed by Elin retreating to the couple’s ”Privacy” yacht — convinced her they were done.

[From the Chicago Sun-Times]

I can’t say this surprises me. How does a person overcome this magnitude of betrayal, especially when the people he cheated with are not keeping quiet about it? I think I would be compelled to read everything too, because I don’t think Tiger came clean about everything to Elin – not even close. I’m sure he was hoping he could just go back to being a great golf player, and everything else would go away and Elin would go back to being his meek little wife who came to all his tournaments and posed for the cameras with his adorable children. Looks like Elin doesn’t want to play that game anymore.

What is it with douches throwing pity parties for themselves? Jesse James paid his lawyer to throw him a pity extravaganza on Monday, and around the same time, Tiger Woods gave a press conference at the Masters game in which Tiger came across… like a douche. Tiger admitted that “a lot has happened in my life in the past five months” and that the most difficult part was “having to look at myself in a light that I never wanted to look.” That was the most difficult part of the Whore Extravaganza? Having to look at yourself in a different way?!? HuffPo has the full video, and here are some of the highlight quotes:

On coming back to the game: “The encouragement I got, it blew me away,” he said. “It really did. The people here over the years, I know they’ve been extremely respectful. But today is just something that touched my heart pretty good.”

Explaining to his kids: “The pain and the damage I caused my wife, my mom, my kids … Going forward, I am going to have to explain all [this to them] … but that’s my responsibility. I did it.”

On rehab: “[I did it] to take a look at myself … I’ve come out better. I am certainly a much better person for it. I hadn’t hit far enough on the bottom to make myself look at what I had done [before the scandal broke].”

He will continue to seek treatment: “I am not going to stop it in the near future, that’s for sure.”

On being entitled: “What I was thinking was not correct,” he said. “I was rationalizing. I was in totally denial at times…. I fooled myself. I lied to myself, kept others in the dark…I need to be a better man going forward than I was before. When I stripped all that away and realized what I had done, the whole magnitude of it, that is pretty brutal. I take full responsibility.”

He missed his son’s first birthday because he was in rehab: “That hurts. That hurts a lot,” he said. “I can’t go back to where I was. I want to be a part of my son and daughter’s life. I missed his first birthday and [that's] something I regret and will probably regret the rest of my life.”

In the future: “[I need to be] a better man … I am trying as hard as I can each and every day to get my life stronger. Along the way, I want to help more people who aren’t ready to help themselves, as I was. [I have been meditating] religiously. I need to do these things the way I used to do it, and unfortunately, I got away from that … and lost my life in the process.”

On his drug use, from Ambien to performance enhancing drugs: “Most of the time I was on the Ambien was when my dad was sick and when my dad died. That was a tough time in my life. I was still taking some of those things to help me sleep.” He wouldn’t confirm that Ambien played a role in his car accident, saying, “The police investigated the accident and they cited me 166 bucks and it’s a closed case…. I have never taken [human growth hormone or PEDs]. I’ve never taken any illegal drugs in my life.”

So, whatever. Tiger’s back, golf people love him again, and we’re all supposed to pretend that the parade of Tiger’s “mistresses” never happened, I guess. Just like we’re supposed to pretend not to laugh at whatever Tiger is trying to grow on his face. Oh, but I did learn something I never knew about Tiger – did you know he’s a practicing Buddhist? Fascinating. I wonder how much you have to meditate to forget all of the idiots you banged?

When I first read this story I was hoping it was a late April Fool’s joke, because it’s just so ridiculous. According to TMZ, Tiger Woods’ former kindergarten teacher is going to hold a press conference with Gloria Allred this morning at 10:30 Pacific in order to set the record straight on an incident of alleged racism committed against Tiger on his first day of school. Tiger told a story in a book written by Charles Barkley in 2005 in which he claimed that other students tied him to a tree, spray painted the word “n*gger” on him, and that “the teacher really didn’t do much of anything.”

That teacher, Mrs. Decker, now says that story isn’t true, and she waited five years and right before Tiger’s comeback at the Masters tournament to deny it. I guess Tiger refused to pay off Mrs. Decker for her silence. He allegedly paid $10 million to Rachel Uchitel, also repped by Allred, and Mrs. Decker probably thought she should get at least six figures for her trouble.

The mystery teacher is speaking out even before her news conference, claiming Tiger Woods’ tale of childhood racism is a lie.

Tiger told a story back in 2005 about how, when he was a child, “a group of sixth graders tied me to a tree, spray-painted the word ‘nigger’ on me, and threw rocks at me. That was my first day of school. And the teacher really didn’t do much of anything.”

Ms. Decker, Tiger’s kindergarten teacher, couldn’t wait, and even before she takes the mic at Gloria Allred’s office at 10:30 AM PT, she’s denying it ever happened, saying, “… no such incident ever
occurred to Tiger Woods while he was under [my] care as a kindergarten pupil on the first day of class.”

Allred, released a statement saying, “No teacher should ever be treated in such a callous and unfair manner especially one such as Ms. Decker. The time for Tiger Woods to make direct amends to her is
now.”

So what does Ms. Decker want now? TMZ will live stream at 10:30.

[From TMZ]

This stunt is right up there with Allred comparing novelty golf balls with Tiger’s mistresses on them to domestic abuse. In a press conference with Tiger’s porn star mistress Joslyn James, Allred even used a big cut out golf club and a giant recreation of a ball to show how the faces on the balls would be obscured when they were hit.

Why issue a simply stated press release that a story isn’t true when you can get so much more publicity from a dramatic press conference with the queen of drama herself? Here’s Tiger’s Kindergarten teacher speaking out about how she was oh so hurt by an allegedly false story that everyone forgot from five years ago. Who’s next – Tiger’s childhood friend? His hairdresser? Elin’s midwife? Give me a break.

Just a few hours ago, I was telling CB how tired I was of the Tiger Woods drama, and now I’m being sucked in again. Apparently, The National Enquirer (story via Hollyscoop) is reporting that Elin Woods is pregnant! Reasons this is probably not true: The Enquirer didn’t make this their cover story (which they would have if they had solid sourcing, I think). Another reason: because hopefully Elin hasn’t touched Tiger’s dick in months. Reasons it could be true, according to the Enquirer: she’s moody and she’s eating a lot and she’s got a bump, apparently. If I was married to Tiger, I would be moody and eating a lot too (and thus, have a “food baby” bump). Here’s more:

This one’s a little hard to swallow. According to reports, Tiger Woods’ wifey Elin Nordegren is pregnant. Yes, pregnant!

The National Enquirer is reporting Elin is approximately four months along and is really starting to have a hard time hiding her growing belly. And before you knock the National Enquirer down, remember they were the ones who first reported on Tiger’s cheating scandal.

“Elin’s staying quiet about it, but she’s showing every sign of being pregnant,” a source told the National Enquirer.

“Her tummy’s a dead giveaway and so is her behavior. Her moods are all over the place and she’s been eating constantly, which is not like Elin since she’s always so concerned about her figure.

The source added, “She’s also dropping other little hints, like rubbing her tummy constantly, and cutting back on her exercise routine. Her appetite changes, too. She gets nauseous a lot of the time and sometimes doesn’t eat a thing. If she’s pregnant, this could be the real reason she hasn’t sent Tiger packing for good.”

It’s a little hard to believe Elin is pregnant, but if she is, it makes sense as to why she didn’t leave Tiger after 15 mistresses came forward. What do you guys think? Could she be preggers?

[From Hollyscoop]

Yeah, I really don’t believe this, but I guess anything is possible so I’m just putting it out there. It could happen, I suppose. I tend to think it’s just the way some people rationalize Elin staying with Tiger – if she’s pregnant, we can all say “oh, she’s pregnant, that’s why she’s giving him a second chance.” Eh. It reminds me of Denise Richards, actually. Remember how she left Charlie Sheen when she was like seven months pregnant? That was so hardcore. And it made people think – “Dude, she’s seven months pregnant and she still walked out. Charlie must be a real piece of work.” Which is exactly what we’ll say if and when Elin dumps Tiger’s dumb ass.

P.S. Elin and Tiger’s son is a little doll! Look at that adorable little face!

This story has some sexual details and is not for under-18
This month’s Vanity Fair has more from four of Tiger Woods’ mistresses, one a Perkins restaurant manager named Mindy Lawton who sold her story to News of The World right around the time the story broke. Mindy tells the disturbing story about how she got busted by the National Enquirer having sex with Tiger in a parking lot in 2007. (The Enquirer reportedly quashed that report in exchange for an exclusive interview with another publication owned by the same company, Men’s Fitness.) Lawton was having her monthly friend at the time, but Tiger insisted she have sex with him so she took out her tampon and they did it pressed against a car at 5:30 in the morning before a tournament. The Enquirer reporter, whose photos were too blurry and faraway to prove it was Tiger, grabbed the bloody evidence and held it as collateral.

There are photos online to accompany the article. Lawton is sitting in a diner wearing a top that’s open to show most of her right breast. She’s eating a cherry suggestively and looking off into the distance like she’s up to something. (I assume the cherry is used in reference to her sex in the parking lot story.) Another mistress, a porn star and professional escort named Loredana Jolie, poses seductively on a bed surrounded by tabloids with Tiger headlines. Jolie has had so much work done that she looks like a transsexual, but I doubt that matters to Tiger. She said that she routinely went on shopping sprees using Tiger’s credit cards and once spent $13,000 at a pop. The article preview on Vanity Fair’s website is brief, and Bossip has more details, including Lawton’s story about how Tiger did her up against an Escalade.

The Enquirer’s Smoking … Piece of Evidence

• Mindy Lawton says she met Woods for one rendezvous at 5:30 in the morning, before he had to leave for a golf tournament. Although she was menstruating, he insisted on having sex with her, but when the key card to access his office didn’t work, he drove to a nearby parking lot, where they had sex in his car. After they left, Lawton claims, reporters from The National Enquirer, who had been following her, picked up the tampon she had dropped in the parking lot, and later threatened to use it as part of a story exposing Woods’s infidelity. When the tabloid contacted one of Lawton’s relatives, Lawton texted Tiger in a panic, and he put her in touch with Mark Steinberg. “That’s when their brush-under-the-rug, the cover-up, happened,” Lawton says, referring to a deal that the Enquirer allegedly made with Tiger’s handlers to hold the adultery story in exchange for Woods’s giving an exclusive interview to its sister publication Men’s Fitness. (A spokesperson for The National Enquirer denies that the paper held the Lawton story in exchange for an exclusive on Tiger.)

Earl Woods’s Dark Side

• Reports have emerged that Tiger’s late father, Earl, was a womanizer, and one insider tells Seal that he was a heavy drinker as well. The person recounts sitting next to him at an awards dinner: “Everybody was in coat and tie, and Earl’s sitting there in these little hot pants—short-shorts—and a golf shirt, and he’s got a big old vodka gimlet going and a cigarette burning, and he’s sound asleep, just hammered, shitfaced. And the announcer says, ‘Ladies and gentlemen, Earl Woods!’ And he jumped up, spilled his drink all over the front of his shirt.… And he gets up there at the podium and starts talking psychobabble.”

Tiger’s Gambling Habits

• Woods’s preferred place to stay in Las Vegas was the Mansion at the MGM Grand, where a one-bedroom suite costs $5,000 per night. He would gamble in the ultra-exclusive V.I.P. casino nearby. According to a source known as Robin Hood 702, “sometimes the only people in the place were me, Tiger Woods, and Michael Jordan. Each of us sat at our own private table and played big. Tiger plays big. Up to 30 grand a hand … and when you’re playing splits and doubles, you can have 150 grand on one hand.”

• “When Tiger showed up in Vegas, he was always with Michael Jordan and Charles Barkley,” according to Las Vegas Review-Journal columnist Norm Clarke. Years earlier, however, John Merchant had warned Woods to avoid Jordan and Barkley, saying of Jordan, “Stay away from that son of a bitch, because he doesn’t have anything to offer to the f*@&ing world in which he lives except playing basketball.” Merchant adds, “Are they his black role models? You’ve got to be kidding me.”

Tiger’s Spending Habits

• With many of his mistresses, Woods was allegedly exceedingly cheap. Mindy Lawton says the only thing he ever bought for her was a chicken wrap from Subway (he was stopping there on his way to meet her). Tiger and his mistress Jamie Jungers broke it off, according to Jungers, because he refused to help her financially.

• Of the women interviewed, Woods spent money on only one: Loredana Jolie Ferriolo, a former Playboy model he met through madam Michelle Braun. Ferriolo says she went on $15,000 shopping sprees and charged everything to Tiger’s hotel room.

[From Vanity Fair]

I have nothing against period sex, but you need to prepare for it with one of those products like Instead that make it less messy. It’s not surprising that Tiger would insist on having sex anyway – that’s all these women were to him. What can Vanity Fair report that we haven’t already heard, though? I guess the most damning information would be that Tiger’s people were more than aware of his massive indiscretions and helped him both plan for frequent sex with paid professionals and cover it up. If he used company money to hire hookers and transport them across state lines he could potentially be in trouble, but the guy had a ‘ho in every port. I doubt that we’re going to hear that he’s under any sort of investigation.

Dr. Drew Pinsky really bugs the sh*t out of me. He’s helped a lot of people but he’s a true armchair psychologist and routinely diagnoses and passes judgment on celebrities without ever meeting them. He’s speculated as to whether Angelina is still using heroin and needs treatment, has said that Lindsay Lohan needs to lose a limb before she’ll get sober (maybe he was right) and has said that Brad and Angelina’s nomadic lifestyle is damaging to their kids while giving Brad unsolicited advice about his pot smoking.

Now Dr. Drew is diagnosing Jesse James, Sandra Bullock, Elin Woods and Tiger Woods. He uses addiction speak to explain everything, and while the addiction model has a time and place I don’t think it applies to all situations. Drew calls Jesse James a “sex addict,” which is probably accurate although I’d use a few more choice words for the guy. Then he goes on to say that Sandra is a “love addict” and that she doesn’t have enough of a bond or history with Jesse to justify continuing the relationship. Tiger and Elin, on the other hand, have a “genuine love” according to Drew. Give me a break!

Dr. Drew Pinsky, board certified addiction specialist and host of the hit VH1 show Celebrity Rehab, has some candid advice for Sandra Bullock, “If I were treating Sandra I would advise her to leave Jesse James. They don’t have a long life together, it’s been a relatively short term relationship. There is no doubt to me that this relationship is over. Jesse is a sex addict and Sandra is a love addict. Sex addicts go for power and intensity, and that intensity is probably what attracted Sandra to Jesse. However, that intensity is not love, it’s addiction. Sandra probably didn’t give Jesse that level of intensity that he got with the mistresses.”

Dr. Drew goes on to say that he has one question for Sandra, “Why were you attracted to Jesse? What is going on with her? Jesse is probably a very nice guy, but it’s simply not a good combo for a sex addict and a love addict to be in a relationship. I’m going to make a prediction that Jesse is probably not going to change.”

Dr. Drew says that while Jesse is a sex addict, don’t make any comparisons between Tiger and Elin’s situation, “Tiger and Elin were very much in love at some point, and that was a very genuine love. They have two children together, a family, and many, many experiences together, and many reasons to try and make their marriage work.”

Dr. Drew predicts that Sandra needs “therapy to deal with what has happened. She is probably devastated. I would guess she would need at least a couple of years. She needs individual treatment. I would guess she could start to date in at least six months.”

[From Radar Online]

Has Dr. Drew even met Elin, Tiger, Sandra and Jesse other than in passing. How does he know that what Tiger and Elin have is real and what Sandra and Jesse have is not? I would suspect it has something to do with Tiger and Elin’s two biological kids. Sandra and Jesse have been married for five years while Elin and Tiger have been married for six. It’s not that much different. Plus Sandra has been coparenting Jesse’s three children from his two other marriages. They had as much as a family as Elin and Tiger. Drew doesn’t know what goes on in their relationship. He needs to STFU about people he doesn’t know or treat. Given what I know about his simplistic view and the way he routinely blabs to the press there is no way I would use him as a therapist.
