Cheating Golfer: It's in the game


Tiger is no stranger to video games. His EA Sports games are some of the company's best sellers this side of John Madden.

Now Tiger has some new games hitting the market. Only difference is this time his wife is the one swinging the clubs. Several scandal influenced games have hit the net. For example, Tiger Parking Slam, from Addicting Games you have to park Tiger's SUV without tearing up the neighborhood. In another one called Tiger Hunting the goal is to avoid the club swinging blonde.

Sued for Cheating


As if you needed a reason to not cheat, it could cost you big money. In some states you can sue the other woman, or other man. According to CNN they are called "alienation of affection" suits, and they are fair game in Hawaii, Illinois, Mississippi, New Mexico, North Carolina, South Dakota and Utah.

Basically it all goes back to the days when women were property, and some other guy sleeping with your wife devalued your...well... we'll go with assets.

In Carolina juries have handed out more than $1million for a few of these cases. CNN quotes divorce attorney Lee Rosen, "If your spouse is going to cheat, you really would like them to cheat with somebody who has a lot of money."

Harry Potter Sex Scene


Apparently directors just love making Daniel Radcliffe (the actor who plays the boy wizard) get naked. You've no doubt heard about the young actor's risque turn on stage. Now Britain's Telegraph is reporting the new Harry Potter movies will include two scenes in which Harry is nude.

The first one is a scene where a monster uses magic to show Harry and Hermione together, in order to make Ron mad. Director David Yates is quoted in the Telegraph as saying, "We’ll create something that feels very sexy ."

Yates goes on to say, “There is another scene in King’s Cross station, where Harry almost dies and sees Dumbledore. In that scene, he will also be naked.”

The first of the two-part final chapter of the Harry Potter films is due out next November.

What the NFL doesn't want you to see.


Here in Chicago, the Bears and the Blackhawks teamed up for some creative television commercials. They featured stars from both teams. But, the NFL says you'll never see them.

The NFL in their traditional big brother type move is refusing to allow their logos to be used in promotion for any other league. That is despite the fact that the Blackhawks picked up most of the check.

According to the Chicago Tribune, the NFL prohibits use of team marks and logos in connection with the promotion of other sports except by a three-quarters vote of the league's 32 clubs.

Dick Clark; Just Depressing?


What happens when the man who never ages, gets old all of a sudden?
This year Dick Clark will once again we watching the ball drop in Times Square. But, since his stroke in 2004 Clark just has not been the same. Putting him next to the younger Ryan Seacrest doesn't help.
Now there are growing calls for Clark to step aside. According to the Wall Street Journal, the 80 year old Clark just makes us all feel old.
You have to admire Clark who has been ringing in the New Year since 1972, and he certainly has plenty of supporters. Larry Klein, the show's longtime producer says, "He created the show. He's an American institution. He deserves to decide on his own when and if he'll leave."

Tiger's Trouble: He's Got Company


Tiger's Torrid Tale. It is everywhere this week. By now, you know all the latest details. But, Eldrick Tont Woods is not the first superstar to find himself on the wrong end of an angry wife and possibly a 3 iron.

In just the sports world you have the legendary (Babe Ruth, and Joe DiMaggio) and the infamous (Magic Johnson and Kobe Bryant.) By the way, none of those guys are remembered for their indiscretions.


The experts say the stars cheat for the same reason Joe Blow does. In The USA Today, Israel Helfand, a marriage and family therapist says, "The underlying piece is the fact they're not getting the kind of attention or intimacy they're looking for within their primary relationship. That's true for women as well."


In the end, it does appear the media is partly to blame for all the attention. But, even the experts agree celebs tend to have issues. Hefland says, "A lot of rich and famous celebrities have a pretty poor self-esteem. For them, I would agree it's not so much about the sex as it is feeling about being desired."

Beyond Drunk


She's only 21, but I think it is fair to say one young woman in Australia has a problem.

According to The Daily Telegraph the woman was stopped for drunken driving. Her blood alcohol level, according to police, was more than 19 times the legal limit. Try 0.385. That is one of the highest levels ever recorded. The legal limit for a driver as young as she is in Australia is .02. By the way, .55 is generally considered fatal. However, the highest recorded blood alcohol level recorded by a survivor is thought to have been set in 2005 by a Bulgarian man whose test showed 0.914.

Too Much of a Good Thing?


It is banned in 13 states. The folks behind Samuel Adams beer are releasing a beer with 27 percent alcohol. If that doesn't scare you off, maybe the $150 a bottle will. According to the AP Alabama and West Virginia recently passed laws to allow higher alcohol content in beer. Lawmakers in Iowa and Mississippi are considering similar legislation.

Surprisingly MADD isn't too upset. Chuck Hurley, CEO of Mothers Against Drunk Driving said "Right now, we're reserving judgment." Basically they only want the stuff to be properly labeled and not marketed to kids. I think the $250 price tag took care of that.
