Tiger's Wife Debates Going to His Press Conference

By Rob Shuter Posted Feb 18th 2010 07:32AM

With word that Tiger Woods is set to hold a press conference on Friday, marking his first public appearance since he drove into a tree and in turn exposed his infidelity, what will his wife Elin be doing? According to my sources, there's a very strong chance she won't be by his side. Details on that, plus Mayer-Aniston scoop after the jump!

Elin Wants No Part of Press Conference

Sources close to Tiger Woods tell me his handlers are hoping that his wife Elin will be present Friday at his press event to announce when the troubled golfer will be returning to the game. Unfortunately, she hasn't said yes yet.

"It's hard enough for her to try and make this marriage work after what he did to her and their children," an insider tells me. "The last thing she wants to do right now is stand next to him in front of him and the world's press. What message is she sending to her daughter and women and girls around the world."

It seems to me that poor Elin cant win. If she isn't present, her absence speaks volumes, but if she does attend, that isn't the message any woman wants to send (even though Kobe Bryant's wife sat beside him in his press conference ... with a brand new apology diamond on her finger).

Whatever you choose to do, Elin, I hope we all remember you have done nothing wrong and can work things out so that the kids are OK.

Will John Mayer Reveal Why Jen and Brad Really Split?

A gal who thought she was dating John Mayer (until he appeared on the cover of InTouch with Jennifer Aniston) back in 2008 tells me that the crooner "has this incredible power of getting you to reveal everything." So, with him being the squeeze of Jennifer Aniston for a while, was he able to get all of the dirt about her divorce from Brad Pitt?

"He lets you talk and talk, gently asking intimate questions until you have told him stuff you wouldn't tell anyone. I bet he knows everything about what really happened between Jen and Brad," my source says.

And it seems it's not just Jennifer who is worried about intimate secrets she revealed to Mayer. His other ex, Jennifer Love Hewitt, is also worried about what Mayer might say about her wonderland body.

"JLH is extremely concerned about what attention-seeking John might say next. He has proven he can't keep anything secret. She has never forgiven him for using their relationship with her back in 2006 in his failed bid to be a stand up comedian."

It looks like no one is laughing now. Thankfully for Jen, it seems as if John is keeping his mouth shut for a while following his Playboy disaster.

'SNL' Cast Join in Push for Betty White

Although the talented cast of 'SNL' has nothing to do with booking the celebrity host each week -- a decision left entirely to 'SNL' creator and Executive Producer, Lorne Michaels -- it can't hurt that they are thrilled with the recent push about Betty White hosting the show.

"Are you kidding me? It would be amazing," said one insider. "The skits on the 'Golden Girls' would be amazing, plus I hear Betty does a brilliant Barbara Bush impersonation."

Please 'SNL,' listen to your cast and get this lady booked before we have to suffer through another January Jones again. Or just have Jon Hamm on every week.

Joy Behar's Beating the 9pm Boys

Congratulations to my friend Joy Behar, who's often beating the boys at 9 PM with her brilliant show on Headline News.

Joy has worked hard to get where she is, even after many told her she would never have her own show. She has proved them all wrong. If you're not already watching, give it a try. Her program examines the watercooler issues that Americans are talking about every day, with topics ranging from pop culture to politics and everything in between.

She also has the best guests ... including the occasional appearance by (wait for it) me!

Elin has caused enough trouble already. Just stay home. Tiger doesn't need to be seen with any blond right now. Tiger can handle pressure. He'll be alright.

By Penny

I agree...*L* Tiger can handle HIS career himself. We don't care what Elin does we just want Tiger back playing golf. That is the main thing...he NEEDS TO PLAY!!!!

job screwing up her life and his kids.Let him go.What will he do
when he doesn't have all these idiots to drink his kool-aid just like o'bama.

Martin Cooper: Oh really? Elin caused the problem? Your world must be upside down!

By KathyO

What did Elin do to "cause trouble", Martin? From what I can see is that she is one class act.

I don't know what trouble Elin Woods may have caused other than being the instrument to exposing her husbands wandering pecker. I doubt very much that the esteemed pecker head will ever win a tournament again. He's going to see reporters, cameras and microphones behind every bush. He'll be a nervous wreck. We already know how he handles stress - he runs.

By dans

Martin,
She caused the problem? Are you kidding or just stupid?

By anonymous

ELIN has caused enough problems?!?!?!? Tiger got caught cheating on his wife. Oh wait, that's right, women are just supposed to take it. Elin should stay home and let Tiger sit under the glare of the media at the press conference.

By almagayle50

He had all those affairs without her, he can man up and do this without her.

By Globe&Anchor

Anybody that needs the polecat for anything is one pathetic, bottom feeding, individual!

By Kate

Sooner or later..we all must PAY for bad Actions. AND..This guy will also. His former "life style" is probably a thing of the past. Sad..but true....

By Carina

She would look very foolish standing beside him a la Mrs. McGreevey and Spitzer. Just stay home Elin and let him sink on his own. I notice how all these men are hoping he just gets back to golf. Big whoop about golf! Maybe all you men should play less golf and more attention to your own families if you condone what this jerk did and still want to make him out to be a golf hero.

Elin should stay home, however, I find it very disturbing that the females responding like to think only men have affairs. All the women claimingto have had affairs with Tiger, knew he was married, had children, and his history. Why the hell does he take all the blame? Tiger, like most men, accepted what was made available to him. Lots of married women have affiars too, even though most are more discrete than men.

By CarraM

STAY HOME ELIN. If not, you're being used. Let the honey he was seeing in Georgia (Brie ?) stand by her man. Then, find the nearest curb and kick his sorry butt to it. Move on with your life for your own good and the good of your children.

By Gemma

Girl.....Amen to that!

By Phyllis

Why does he need to do a press conference? What he has done has nothing to do with his professional life. If Clinton didn't loose popularity, why should Tiger. A lot of people have dirty secrets, and if they are found out, oh well, deal with it.People should draw a line, profesional life and home life. What goes on at home,stays at home. If he just started back in the golfing without saying a thing, people would still accept him for what he is, a great golfer .

By pam

Im with you...all the way.

How right you are!! Clinton did it in the white house and got less press than Tiger. Where is the justice? Let the man golf and leave his wife alone.

By rudewaitress

PLEASE. Clinton got a lousy BJ from a opportunist who was crushing on him. Woods was screwing a harem of skags on a regular basis for years, all hoping for the cash cow to drop on their doorstep. Neither guy was right but who the hell was the bigger pig? Of course you hero worshippers will say Clinton.

Just what trouble has Elin caused? Loving her "husband" and being a great wife and mother???
