Tiger Woods bisexual? Playboy model Loredana Jolie says yes

The explosive claim that Tiger Woods, The World's Greatest Golfer, is bisexual has been raised by Tiger Woods Mistress Number 10 (or 11?), former Playboy model Loredana Jolie (or Loredana Jolie Ferriolo), in today's New York Post Page 6 and from a blog post that originated at Radaronline.com.

In the same Page six that claims Howard Stern sidekick Artie Lange stabbed himself, the NY Post reports that Loredana Jolie's representative Teisha Dynell said she's going to publish a tell-all book about her alleged trysts with Tiger Woods.

Loredana Jolie

(A momentary aside, it's usually easy to find an online trail for a publicist, but not for Teisha Dynell. When her name's Googled, only this story comes up. That means Teisha Dynell may very well be Loredana Jolie herself or someone's making up the story unless Loredana Jolie steps forward to refute the Page 6 entry, which is doubtful.)

The book, which as of this writing is without a publisher, will explain his alleged desire for "threesomes" and "girl-on-girl sex". Both Radaronline and New York Post Page 6 report that the book will also include Loredana Jolie's claim that Tiger Woods had "sexual encounters with men" according to Page 6.

The Page 6 account concludes with this:

Her rep said, "She wants to use part of the proceeds and the exposure from the Tiger Woods scandal to promote healthy living by opening a transitional home for women who wish to escape or who have already escaped the sex industry."

Stay tuned.

Artie Lange stabs himself? Howard Stern upset with NYPost Page 6

Artie Lange, the sidekick of radio star Howard Stern who was rushed to the hospital for "undisclosed reasons" is now the focus of a New York Post Page 6 claim that he stabbed himself a shocking nine times.

 The first video by CelebTV has the recent news, the next video by Independent Feature claims Artie Lange had not been on the Howard Stern show and was thinking of quitting it altogether. The following video by PIX News goes a step beyond, mentioning an alleged history of "cocaine and heroin use".







The New York Post Page 6 claims that Lange's mother called 911 Saturday morning after entering his Hoboken, New Jersey apartment and found him "bloodied". He reportedly had "six hesitation wounds and three deep plunges".

On his show, Howard Stern preferred to reflect on the positive aspects of Artie Lange's life and contributions to The Howard Stern Show. But Howard Stern also expressed a great deal of anger toward New York Post Page 6. This is what Stern said according to the show's website:

Howard revealed that his hand has been forced by a story about Artie's suicide attempt in Page Six ("I was actually hoping it wouldn't come out.") and had to offer his comment: "I don't know what to think. I'm angry about it. I'm sad about it. I'm all over the place emotionally." Howard directed most of his anger at the worm who leaked the details of Artie's condition: "I'm pissed off at the shithead who got paid by – who? Page Six."

Howard hoped the story would go away and allow Artie to heal privately: "This is a family matter. I don't know what to do. I don't know what to say...just remember who Artie is and what a wonderful guy he is...he's wrestling with some serious stuff...I only wish him well." Howard tried reading the Page Six item, but stopped after just eight words: "I just feel sick about this. I don't even wanna read it."

Fans of Artie Lang have went to his Facebook and MySpace pages to leave comments wishing him a swift recovery.

Glenn Beck loses another sponsor: ING DIRECT UK

According to the website Stopbeck.com, dedicated to "holding Glenn Beck accountable for vitriol and race-baiting. (and) Our purpose is to bring together people and organizations who are fed up with Glenn Beck’s hate speech", Glenn Beck has lost another sponsor: ING DIRECT UK.

ING DIRECT UK's decision to drop Glenn Beck reportedly came as a result of extreme pressure applied by the one member of Stopbeck.com (which also has a YouTube channel). According to Stopbeck.com's "Angelo" (who's law student, anti-Glenn Beck activist, and one-man-gang Angelo Caruseno, according to The DailyKos), ING DIRECT UK Corporate Communications Head Martin Rutland wrote:

“ING Direct UK has confirmed they do not sponsor or endorse the Glenn Beck show. Additionally, no ING Direct advertisements are being screened during or either side of this show and there are no plans to do so in the future.”

Angelo Caruseno reports that the ING DIRECT UK action brings the total number of sponsors lost to 96, and provides an extensive list you can see here. Some of the notable firms on it are Campbell’s Soup Co., Oakland-based Clorox, DirecTV, GEICO, Johnson & Johnson, Verizon Wireless, AT&T, Bank of America, Concord Music Group, Best Buy, HSBC, Mercedes-Benz, Men’s Wearhouse, Radio Shack, Subaru, Travelocity, United States Postal Service (Unbelievable that the postal service would hook-up with Glenn Beck!), Walmart, and Vonage.

Angelo's next targeted Glenn Beck sponsor is Angie's List

Angelo must be effective because his efforts have spawned a blog called Stopbeckisaliar, which works to refute some, but frankly not all, of Angelo's claims.

CES 2010 - Alienware M11x laptop $1000, runs Modern Warfare fast

CES 2010 (the Computer Electronics Show in Las Vegas) has this bit of shocking news: Alienware, the Dell company brand known for producing powerful computers for gaming, as well as having a really massively cool logo, has introduced a blockbuster new laptop called the Alienware M11x, which reportedly costs less than $1,000.

At a CES 2010 Dell press conference attended by CNET's Scott Stein, the 11.6 inch Alienware M11x was touted as a light, powerful laptop with six hours of battery life and powered by a Nvidia GT335M GPU. The battery life reportedly and logically drops with the power requirements of the game; Engadget reports that switching to "gaming mode" drops the batterly life from six hours to two hours of "intense gaming." It's said to run Modern Warfare 2 in high def at over 30fps.

That claim has drawn the attention of a lot of skeptical gamers. "Quadzilla" at Notebook.com's forum wrote:

Those performance numbers were probably taken with everything on LOW@1024x768 ... It says Modern Warfare was in HD but im not sure what HD(Highly Doubtful ?) they are talking about lol..

Still, at $1,000, the Alienware M11x just placed itself in competition with the education-oriented Apple Mac Book.  The comparison is appropriate because a good portion of college students play online games and that means using a computer.  Pew Research estimated that 70 percent of college students "reported playing video, computer or online games at least once in a while, and 65% of college students reported being regular or occasional game players."

So which computer is a college student who's most likely to play Modern Warfare going to pick, an Apple Mac Book or an Alienware M11x?

Apple better wake up, Alienware M11x's coming.

Stay tuned.

Miley Cyrus wins People's Choice Award for ...movie actress?

Miley Cyrus has earned a high place in pop culture for her songs like Party In The USA, a melodic voice, and her role as Hanna Montana on television. But Miley Cyrus winning an award as a movie actress in the People's Choice Awards is a shock.

 

Miley Cirus and pole at Teen Choice Awards

Miley Cyrus beat out the following for the People's Choice Awards of Breakout Movie Actress:

Anna Kendrick
Emily Osment
Ginnifer Goodwin
Zoe Saldana

That Miley Cyrus beat out Zoe Saldana, who plays top acting roles in two 2009 blockbuster movies, Avatar and Star Trek for a movie actress award is worthy of conversation because Cyrus appeared in Hannah Montana: The Movie. Hannah Montana: The Movie earned just $32 million at the box office and received at best luke-warm reviews.

Miley Cyrus is an incredible singing talent, but to put her in a space with Zoe Saldana and Ginnifer Goodwin is unfair to them. Ginnifer Goodwin is known for her roles in movies like Mona Lisa Smile.

It's even less fair to Anna Kendrick, who's a decorated Broadway actress, who has a list of movie credits, from Up In The Air to The Twilight Saga.

For Miley Cyrus to be in the same list as Emily Osment makes sense because they were both in Hannah Montana: The Movie, and both sing. But other than Osment, the deck was stacked, especially against Zoe Saldana, who's really should have got the award.

Zoe Saldana doesn't have a legion of 13 to 17 year old girls who follow her every move. She also doesn't have daring and controversial actions like Miley Cyrus' stripper pole dance at the 2009 Teen Choice Awards, either.

>

Follow that with her Twitter following (before she took her page down) and product endorsement commercials, her concert tour, and a crack publicity team and you have an automatic win in a category she really should not have been in at all.

That leads to this question: was the People's Choice Award just some kind of setup to make sure certain celebrities won awards? If so, by whom? How? Why? Why does Taylor Swift show up the winner on so many award programs?

At some point this appearance of our pop culture taste having the appearance of being engineered can and should be the subject of a Congressional investigation.

Stay tuned.
