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!

Wouldn't it be great if Tiger (a husband) decided to put Elin (his wife) and his children first, before his own ego, and thought gee, unlike so many others, I have the opportunity since I am financially stable, to take the time off, to clean up my act, make my mother proud and do the right thing for my wife, make heart-felt amends to her and actually behave like a responsible, moral, kind human being instead of the big Ashole I have been in the past. He has a daughter, is this the kind of marriage he wants for her?

By Buzzby

Elin should NOT stand by him. He has dissed her, their marriage and their marriage bed. One affair would be bad enough, but he was doing every blonde bimbo who crossed his path and moaning about how miserable his marriage was to all. Leopards don't change their spots. If she's fool enough to take him back and try to work through this, she will get no sympathy the next time he's caught... which will inevitably happen. He's a dog. Kick him to the curb, Elin. You could do SOOO much better and you will get a settlement that will allow you to live like a queen without the problem of Tiger chasing every skirt.

This Pig will never get my kids attention again. Boy, did i have a hellofa time trying to tell my kid that this pig is not the person you want to be like when you grow up. This black Pig is not now or ever will be a role model for kids in this world. How can you expect your child to grow up and be a good human if they look at this pig and see him with 13 or more HOUSE WHORES, and a dumb white chick that can't see past her nose. To be honest, i always thought that he was a big IDIOT FROM THE BEGINING....

Elin, you are brought up in Sweden, you know what to do. So sorry this had to happen to you.

By Mrs. T

I just heard on the news that he will going back to therapy after his press conference tomorrow. I guess old habits are harder to break then he thought, if at all. Elin should move on with her life without him. One might forgive one heat of the moment affair, but to forgive as many as he has had, I don't think so.

By sxylggs

Have anyone stop to think why he was out there....A lot of these women latch on to these powerful men, use sex to get them and then cut it off once they have them...remember she was just a nanny when he met her which was his first mistake..he should have gotten someone who had something going for themselves..so do I feel sorry for poor Elin NO....but I don't condone what he did either..she is walking around like it was a relief to get rid of him so she can get his money and go about her business..besides she knew what he was doing and she turned a blind eye until it became public..otherwise they would still be together..he doing his thing and she getting paid to look the other way..
