In case you forgot, Ashley Samson is the woman who first told the National Enquirer about Tiger Woods' affair with her sorta gal pal Rachel Uchitel.

Basically, Ash was the whistle blower! And how much did she get paid? Only $25,000 bucks! Was it worth the price her words will forever cost her? Tiger's camp even offered to pay her $200,000 in hush money, but she declined. I don't get it!

Now Ashley is talking to the NY Daily News about trying to "get my f*cking life together and repair my reputation."

She also has some not-so-nice words for Ms. Uchitel, basically calling her a "madam."

Ash goes on: "Who else flies a couple of girls out to Spain for three days to meet with a bunch of men? I mean, hello. My first reaction was, 'I can't believe this. I can't believe Tiger would do this, (with) someone like Rachel.' She's a party girl. I mean that's her reputation. I couldn't believe that Tiger would do that. I didn't believe it until I heard his voice."

This drama is never going to end if these girls keep talking about it!

Tiger Woods' estranged wife Elin Nordegren has left her adulterous hubby behind and gone to the French ski resort Chamonix, where she is staying in a $10,000 a night chalet with her twin sister and five close pals.

According to The Sun, the group is being accompanied by a hired French security team and their chalet is advertised as "the most luxurious in the entire valley and boasts seven bedrooms, a hot tub and a full staff including a chef."

A family friend told The Sun, "Elin wanted to take her family and close friends away from the minefield Tiger has created by his behavior. She has been absolutely torn to pieces by what he has done to her. But she still sees a future with Tiger because of the beautiful children they have. She told him she needed a lengthy time apart to reflect on how they might possibly salvage the marriage."

AT&T has canceled its contract with golfer Tiger Woods after the cheating scandal that broke just after Thanksgiving has tarnished his image.

The phone company hasn't used Woods' image extensively in advertising, but he did feature the AT&T logo on his golf bag. The deal has been described as a "multi-year" agreement signed earlier this year.

Tiger has hosted the AT&T National PGA Tour event since it started in 2007. The company didn't say whether they would continue to sponsor the summer event given Woods' indefinite break from pro golf.

Gilette and Accenture have already dropped Tiger as a spokesperson for their companies, while TAG Heuer stated recently the watchmaker would scale down the golfer's presence in their ads.

Finally speaking out on the accident that set off a sex scandal that rocked Tiger Woods' world, the Florida Highway Patrol says Tiger's only injuries during their December 1st meeting was "a fat lip."

Sgt. Montes of the FHP tells WESH in Orlando, "The only thing we noticed was a fat lip. No other facial injuries. No reason to believe he was the victim of domestic violence."

With only a puffy lip, there's no way Woods would be in Arizona recovering for plastic surgery, but rather, as we first reported, sex and/or drug rehab.

Tiger Woods' sex scandal has cost shareholders of his main sponsors up to $12 billion, according to a new study at UC Davis.

And get this...the losses are separate from (and possibly even greater than) the damage to Tiger's own earnings! Before the accident, Tiger earned approximately $100 million a year in endorsement income, so you can bet that he's trying to salvage his bank account along with his tarnished reputation.

Victor Stango, a professor of economics at the UC Davis Graduate School of Management and co-author of the study says, “Total shareholder losses may exceed several decades’ worth of Tiger Woods’ personal endorsement income."

The study examined eight sponsors for which stock prices were available: Accenture; AT&T; Tiger Woods PGA Tour Golf (Electronic Arts); Gillette (Proctor and Gamble); Nike; Gatorade (PepsiCo); TLC Laser Eye Centers; and Golf Digest (Conde Nast). Stango and fellow UC Davis economics professor Christopher Knittel studied stock market returns for the 13 trading days that fell between November 27 and December 17.

To assess shareholder losses, Stango and Knittel reviewed returns for Tiger's sponsors during this period to those of both the total stock market and of each sponsor’s closest competitor. The economists also looked at returns for four years before the scandal broke to determine how each company's market performance typically correlates with that of the total market and of competing firms.

Knittel and Stango concluded that the scandal reduced shareholder value in the sponsor companies by 2.3 percent, or about $12 billion. “(This) pattern of losses is unlikely to stem from ordinary day-to-day variation in their stock prices,” the researchers added. Way to go, Tiger!

Hmm, but is there really any cause to celebrate?

Since the pro golfer has been wrapped up in his car accident/sex scandal for the past month, turning 34 doesn't really seem like a big deal...

It's not like his wife will be getting him a gift!

Besides, is it even possible to celebrate while in rehab? I'd imagine they're not big on parties.

Oh well! Happy birthday, Tiger.

X17online was the first to report that Tiger Woods entered an upscale rehab facility in Arizona, and while recent reports claim Tiger was in Palm Beach with alleged mistress Rachel Uchitel over the weekend, no one has come forward with pictures or additional information to prove it.

While rehab certainly couldn't hurt Tiger's reputation or his marriage, sports columnist Furman Bisher claims that he's received a "legitimate message" from a "trustworthy journalist" that explains what really went down back in November, and how Tiger went to Arizona for reconstructive surgery on his face! While several media outlets are questioning the lengthy message, it certainly seems like large chunks of it have some truth to them.

The message claims that wife Elin Nordegren found a text (and other damning evidence) from Rachel Uchitel on Tiger's cell phone, and when the golf champ returned home from a poker game with the boys on the night of November 26, she tried to talk with him about it. Here's an excerpt from the infamous (and anonymous) message:

"At one point Tiger turned away to look at the TV, and as he turned back, Elin hit him on the right side of the face with the head of a 9 – iron. When she struck Tiger, she put a huge gash in the right side of his face next to his nose (causing his nose to bruise some), and virtually knocking two of his upper teeth out, and breaking the bone on the upper right side. Tiger ran scared as hell out of the house (which is why he had on no shoes) with Elin swinging the golf club throughout the hallway to the garage (i.e. causing the severe damage which has been reported). Tiger hoped in the Escalade and tried to leave; and as we know Elin knocked out the windows in the Escalade."

After the incident, a doctor supposedly told Tiger's agent Mark Steinberg that he knew of a plastic surgeon and a cosmetic dentist in Arizona where Tiger could go to have his face fixed, which would help keep reporters and photographers off his back in Florida. Tiger and Mark flew out and stayed in Phoenix for several days as Tiger recovered from the operations which were much "more intense than what they had originally planned."

Though it's been reported that Tiger returned to Florida after he was partially healed, no one has any physical proof of his whereabouts, and since it sounds like his face was pretty bashed up, we wouldn't be surprised to learn that he was hiding out somewhere like a rehab facility in Arizona. I mean, why not keep a low profile, let your face heal and treat your sex (and possible drug) addiction all at once? Seems pretty logical to us!

X17online spoke to an insider at The Meadows rehab facility in Wickenburg, Arizona, and they revealed what sex addicts have to go through during their treatment, and it sounds pretty strict! If Tiger Woods is in fact at this specific location, will he be able to adhere to the rules?

Our source tells us that the rehabilitation center is extremely confidential, and they won't even confirm that a patient is at the facility (even to family members), so when visitors arrive, they can only request to see them and hope that the patient will show up.

While the facility is considered by many to be the Four Seasons of rehab, sex addicts are stamped with a scarlet letter of sorts. Our source tells X17online exclusively:

"Everyone has to wear a color-coded nametag that signifies what you’re in for. You wear it 24/7 so everyone knows exactly what your poison is from the minute they lay eyes on you. Sex addicts wear either blue or red and they not allowed to fraternize with members of the opposite sex (or if they were gay, they couldn’t talk to a member of the same sex)."

Additionally, no one is allowed to show any leg above the knee, whether its someone in for sex addiction, drug addiction or even visitors. Think Tiger can handle this?
