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!

Who care what Elin and Tiger do. If she stay with him that her business. All of you who say she should leave him, easier said then done when you truly love someone. You really don't know what you would truly do until it happens to you. Yeah Yeah big tough man or woman will leave please, if it hasn't happen to you shut it.

By halhobbs

I'm not interested in seeing him tear up in front of his friends and associates. He should just play golf and shut up.

By Betty

Phyllis you hit the nail on the head!

By Margie

I have seen persons in much higher positions get in these same pickles and their spouse stood behind them. I believe one of those spouse's even ran for President last election...... AND I so agree with you Frederick!

By Mommacat

OK, we all know what Tiger did, and we all know it was WRONG, but what we DON'T know is what Elin is like in private. Everyone seems to assume that Elin didn't deserve any of this, but what if she DID? What if SHE has been having affairs? Tiger tried to protect her by saying she came out with his golf club to rescue him from the crashed vehicle, that doesn't really seem too likely. Bottom line here is that none of us has a clue what that marriage is like or what either Tiger or Elin is like, so maybe we should all just butt out and let them resolve it on their own.

here are the secrets to catching a cheater @

with you wood hanging out.

His wife should not attend the press conference. tiger has already humiliated enough. Tiger should return to golf and stay away from women. I could never stay with a man who cheated on me. I think Elin should get a good atorney and take the children. How can she ever trust Tiger again? She is very pretty and will have no problem finding someone who will treat her better.

Yeah Elin caused problems...she needs to be a good girl and just accept that he is a major superstar and gets hit on every where he goes by beautiful women. She needs to just sit in her mansion and enjoy Tigers billions of dollars....unless she wants to go back to cleaning Yesper Parnavick's house.

By bajasmoke

He should kick her to the curb and divorce her. Give her a little pocket change and move on with his life. He will be able to see his kids.

By Don Mack

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.

I am a man, can't stand golf, can't stand Tiger Woods, and have never been married. All I ever wanted from the time I was 14 was to be married and have kids. Sometimes I think the problem is that you women pick out a man based on his yearly salary. I like Elin but if she stays with "Woodie" she deserves this jerk.

By katherine

ok, I feel bad for erin, BUT face it folks we are dealing with a man that cheating on his wife. Do you realize according to sources 78% of men/women cheat on each other. It is a big deal. And if their marriage is going to work, I do not feel Tiger should worry about what media has to say, he needs to be focusing on his marriage more then his "look". Just my thoughts.!

By Nancy Paulus

Elin. just walk away from the overinflated bum.....you need to start your new life with your children.....you have too much class to be dealing with all of his self made problems.....

By its just me

BEGGING ELIN NOT TO GO BACK TO THAT CHEATTING GUY ! YOUR YOUNG 1 CHANCE GIRLFRIEND RUN ONCE A CHEATTER ALWAYS A CHEATTER... HOPE SHE WON'T GO BACK

By wisdom

Tiger should tell the world that he will be divorcing elin and will drop her off in front of motel 6 and they will leave the light on for her.He did not love her that is why he did what he did.Action speaks louder than words.

By Mack

I dont think either one of them should be there..if Tiger wants to play golf he should just enter the tournament and play...screw what the media wants or thinks he should do...what the hell do they know about anything but stirring trouble...his personal problems are between he and his wife...

By nick

He should get castrated first.
