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!

One thing about you,Rose is that every morning you wake up an idiot

By gs

she will prove to be a whore and play the part for a zillion dollars - woods should be kicked out of golf for using pain killers - you know he has!

By kluji

All the girls tiger was with are piggy and trampy looking. Not one natural good looking one in the bunch. Ewww. Yet his wife is absolutely GORGEOUS..go figure!

By sonya

Elin should stay with her kids and take care of them and herself. This is the first priority.

Who cares about Tiger's press conference, I don't it is none of my business what he did and who does he think he is anyway having an almighty press conference. Go play golf and stay off the air and quit embarrassing your family, haven't you done enough of that already? He is a jerk on the course and off . Has anyone ever seen his profanity on tv while all of these kids are watching, repulsive.

Elin take care and I will be praying for you and your children.

By Dan

Joy Behar beating the boys???What a joke...She not only isn't entertaining often has to just be over the top to get a reaction from anyone.

By Lin

Whatever Elin decides to do is totally fine. She has her reasons no matter what she does now. Her children are her focus, as always, and we don't know what her thinking is nor should we. It's none of our business. Let the jerk play his little game of golf and the tramps who have no ethics about hooking up with a married man should pay more of a price than they have. God Bless Elin

By DD

who cares what this moron has to say,he just a player with a dumb blond wife.

By JOAN

ONE THING IS FOR SURE....TIGER AND ELIN WILL NOT BE TAKING ANY ADVICE FROM YOU BLOGGERS. YOU CAN TAKE THAT TO THE BANK.

By Kate

LOL..this so called "press conference" will be a real hoot.Cant wait to tune in.Just for a good laugh.What a clown car..lol...

By mimsysc

Yes, and kobe's wife looked like an idiot. I hope Elin has more class. Tiger doesnt deserve to have his wife there. She will appear to be a doormat. Addicting, lolol, to cheating??????????

By Flavia

Well Fred, Tiger was telling all these women that his marriage was over and he didn't love Elin anymore. He was telling them they were the only one for him - AND he wasn't using condoms! Ewww....
Nobody ever said women don't cheat, of course women cheat but this guy was a role model and spokesperson. It just appears that all the men are so willing to overlook him being a cheat and pervert just to watch him play golf.

By jaba

The author's nose looks so much like a penis! He should get it "fixed."

By Helen Howard

The women invovlved with Tiger Woods were not the married ones with children and a legacy, he was. Need to remember that. To make a mistake is to do something wrong once, Tiger is a serial wrong doer. His wife needs to divorce him so that her children will know that she is a worthy woman and not a doormat to be stepped on and used.

By sally

Love Joy Behar, sometime her humor goes to far, but think she is a nice lady. Elin seems like a nice and very classy lady, especially for someone her age. Tiger, very arrogant, great golfer, bu not much else to say. Have known alot of people, men and women whom have had affairs, but 14 partners, that we know of. Thats in a whole different category. Especially the longevity and high profile of Tiger. CHEESY!!!

By jay

Elin, don't do it. The women who do, look like idiots, standing next to their super idiot. This is his mess, let him get out of it. Don't take his crap anymore. He needs you more than you need him at this point in his carreer.

By Mike

I get a kick out of people saying that Elin didn't do anything wrong. Unless these people live in the same house as Tiger and Elin, how do they know that Elin ISN'T a kingsize pain in the ass. That she isn't very loving? Unless you've walked a mile in her shoes, you don't know squat.

By Miss Maeve

Mike -- if Elin was a pain in the ass then divorce her BEFORE sleeping with 13 women; with no protection at that! Believe it or not, wives just want to love their husbands. You must be single b/c you sound like a royal pain in the ass!

Well said Helen. Once is a mistake...But this guy has been "at it" for years. Sad!!!

By Bobbb

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 OHHH, HOW MISGUIDED MR. BUFFALO BREATHE. IF ELIN SHOWED UP THAT WOULD SAY VOLUMES. IF SHE DOES SHOW THEN IT MEANS NOTHING-SHE IS STAYING WHERE SHE HAS BEEN ALL ALONG AND THAT IS WHERE SHE WANTS TO BE.
