Condi Has a Cruuhuush
Condoleeza Rice's first column for the Daily Beast isn't about international relations. That stuff's presumably better placed in Foreign Affairs. No, Condi waxed schoolgirlish about Tiger Woods, who she totally practically dated once. More »

GM Fires Tiger Woods, Pencil Suppliers
Floundering maker of autos GM got slammed for flying its executives to Washington on private jets to beg for a government bailout. They were denied, so now they've decided to cut back on every last unnecessary expense. And today, the company announced that it's going to end its $8 million per year endorsement contract with Tiger Woods. Though GM swears that, hey, this has nothing to do with their desperate quest for a bailout—"the timing...is purely coincidental." (Bullshit, judging purely on outward appearance). Where else is the company cutting costs? Everywhere, starting with the paper towels!: More »

Michael Phelps And The Nerdy Endorsement Trap
Dolphin-like Olympic champ Michael Phelps is like that dude in the poem who has come to two roads that diverge in the woods. Except Michael Phelps has far more money at stake than that guy. Now that Phelps has won the races and gripped the strippers, his full-time job is endorsing products in return for sweet cash, the nectar of life. Even his mom is in on it! But Phelps is already screwing up. Now is when you determine whether you're the next Tiger Woods or the next [obscure swimmer], Mike. We're here to help, for a small cut.

Terry Semel Woos Dubai's Billions in Planned Return to Moguldom
While DreamWorks, Lionsgate and even Cash-Machine Manoj all have Indian capital to thank for their varying degrees of independence, Terry Semel is apparently courting a few billion dollars from Dubai as he nears a deal to acquire the management giant (and burgeoning media player) IMG. The ex-Warner Bros./Yahoo! kingpin has had his eye on Teddy Forstmann's hobby since at least June, when it was rumored Semel was knocking on a few gilded doors around the Middle East, hat in hand.

The Ironic Moustache Tat of Tomorrow
There’s a dude in Utah who’ll tattoo your teeth for you. While tooth (actually crown) tattoo is clearly a natural progression in body art, I think the real surprise here is that there’re novel forms of bling being developed in the Jell-O belt. The procedure costs between $75 and $200, usually takes a half-hour, and will give you a lifetime of shame and regret. Steve Heward, the oral Donatello behind this innovation, seems to specialize in faces like Micky Mouse, Amy Winehouse, and Abraham Lincoln. A parade of horribles after the jump. More »

Tiger Woods Injured, World Stops Caring About Golf; Advertisers 'Screwed'
Tiger Woods has announced that he tore his ACL and will miss the rest of the golf season, so it's time to despair, toss your golf clubs in the water, and sell any investments you have in any company remotely connected with golf as fast as possible. TV networks that show golf tournaments and the companies that advertise on those broadcasts are doing exactly that right now, although with slow, undetectable movements, and with a broad smile on their face for the press. "Golf will be fine!" they'll say, with their stomachs sinking as they look at the numerical proof of the "Tiger Effect": More »

Noose Probably Not the Best Choice for Your Magazine's Cover
Golfweek's recent cover featuring a noose is getting a bad reaction from pretty much everyone, so they fired the editor responsible. The noose is—duh!—totally in reference to the suspension of Golf Channel anchor Kelly Tilghman, who made an extremely poorly-chosen comment involving the word "lynch" when discussing young golfers challenging Tiger Woods. As for the cover—yeah, that's one of those ideas that seems good at three in the morning but the next day you're totally like "Oops." Except with print, you can't take it back. Golfweek also issued an apology. There, now it's all fixed! Click to see the large version of this extremely bad decision! [Yahoo News] [AP] More »

It's All Fun and Games Until Somebody Accidentally Mentions Lynching
Kelly Tilghman—an anchor at the most exciting channel on TV, the Golf Channel—was suspended for two weeks because of a crude and racist remark. Just how crude and racist was it? "Lynch him in a back alley," she said, referring to young players challenging Tiger Woods. Well hell, we all let things slip sometimes. Woods' agent didn't much care, because the two are actually friends, but no matter—now Al Sharpton has jumped into the fray! Which means we have about three more days of crazy-talk on this particular story. [AP]
