Oprah Has Her Eye on the Tiger

By Rob Shuter Posted Dec 3rd 2009 01:14PM

PopEater has learned exclusively that Oprah Winfrey has called Tiger Woods herself to offer him advice, comfort ... and the opportunity to tell his side of the ever-developing Tiger-gate drama on her couch. "Everyone in the TV business wants this interview," a source tells PopEater's Rob Shuter.

"Matt Lauer, Barbara Walters and Larry King's people have all called, but only lady O has personally reached out," the source said.

Although it makes perfect sense for the troubled golfer to sit down with the TV queen -- someone he trusts and respects -- it's by no means a done deal. Hey, Barbara Walters, we hear Tiger likes daisies and bon bons!

Oprah Winfrey is seen here in tears as she tells the world that her daytime TV show will end in 2011. We're guessing she'll be crying for joy if she lands Tiger Woods.

Hey Tiger,try this, "I did not have sex with that woman,er,those women."

By Lori

Going on Oprah won't change what he did, he needs to figure out a way to make this up to his wife and kids if that's possible. Good luck with that one

By carole

OH! So now Oprah is going to offer to help TIGER??? I am so sick of this woman. She was probably responsible for single handedly appointing Obama and now she wants to make everyone believe he was either a victim of a jealous wife or has some other valid reason for being the sleaze he is. I wish she'd leave her show right now except that I'm sure she will be running for office and having stupid people believe she has all the answers. Pathetic.

hate to say it ,but she hails from my STATE.but she never picked any of that cotton out there,like i had to..i think her success has gone to her head....wish she would send me some of that success....like a new f-150...l.o.l. guess not ,im not her favorite color......

By sjpscraps

Oprah always thinks she has the answer to everything. First of all, who REALLY wants or needs to hear his explanation. He only owes it to his wife & family. If he agrees, I will see it as a sympathy plea. He will probably claim some sort of disorder. No one seems to take responsibility for their own decisions & actions anymore!

Go straight to hell, Carole!!!

What are those that involved get? A few bucks from the tabloids? Keep you trap shut, and play dumb. Tiger will reward you later on handsomely. Who in there right mind will keep over 300 text messages or e-mails, unless they have something up there sleeve. Tiger thought he had someone that he could get some R&R with, and they'd keep their trap shut. Wrong. I bet they are working aon a book deal as we speak.

By rob shuter

i feel so bad for his poor wife....wonder if she will join him on Oprah's sofa???

His poor wife will get over half a Billion dollars if they devoice. That's what she was before they met.

By NICK

I hear Tiger full of tears telling Oprah I just had to have all that white meat, when you at my stage in money like you Oprah we are the Gods and we can screw anyone we want, you understand Oprah.

By MrsHubbyD

Oprah kills me. She always professes her disgust when someone is "exposed" to having done something "morally" wrong, EXCEPT when it is one of her friends....THEN she wants to put them on her show to get "their side of the story". PUL-LEEZE!!! The Winans brother (spousal abuse), Whitney Houston (Crack/Cocaine addict), and now Tiger (infidelity). She's so fake! I can't wait till she's off the air! Buh-bye!!!!

By Mark

Are we not all tired of THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO OPRAH??!!??

By Paul Williams

Since she can't munch Obama's pecker, maybe she thinks she has a chance to munch Tiger's. This woman is a fat, ugly, overrated TV hack.

By dean

Oprah, Oprah...how disappointing you are. How kind of you to reach out to Tiger. You're an idiot.

The only thing that Tiger Wood's is sorry for is that he got caught. I am so sick of these morons who feign that the pressure of their gifted lives cause them to have these "transgressions" (Elliot Spitzer, Gov. Jim Gibbons, etc...). They take advantage of their power--'nough said. You were a role model Tiger.

By merry

I think Tiger has made it clear that he will deal with this privately. So butt out, Oprah! A real friend wouldn't exploit a friend for ratings.

I was wondering that too rob. That poor woman must be so hurt. She supported him, loved him, gave him two beautiful babies, and on top of all that, she's GORGEOUS! She also seems like a really nice, and classy lady. So I guess all of that means nothing. Why in the world does a person even GET married, when they still want to play? I don't get it! Plus, the women he was with, are ugly as Hell!

By Beth

Oprah is such a media WHORE! She is attempting to capitalize on a situation that is ripping a family to shreds. I am GLAD she is quitting her show. Can't happen soon enough.
