Tiger Woods denies taking drugs, not grilled about sex allegations
Nothing new about sex was revealed during Tiger Woods’ first press conference since a kinky scandal bit him in the golf club.
But do we really care? Should he really address the grody parking lot sex stuff printed in Vanity Fair?
The golfing great did deny taking any illegal drugs and being involved in any of Dr. Anthony Galea’s alleged criminal activity.
Galea, who has treated several pro athletes including Woods, is being investigated on claims he distributed performance-enhancing drugs.
Woods said he took the pain-killer Vicodin for an injured knee and the sleep aid Ambien following his father’s death.
“That was a tough time in my life,” Woods said.
When asked if Ambien played a role in his Thanksgiving crash that ignited a fire storm of criticism, Woods said he had been cited and fined $166.
“It’s a closed case,” he said.
A parade of floozies claim they had affairs with Woods.
Woods will play in the Masters Thursday, April 8.
Woods said he deceived and lied to conceal a string of affairs and his actions were brutal.
“I fooled myself as well,” Woods said, later noting that life was not fun because he was lying all of the time.
Woods said he entered rehab for a “personal issue,” missing his son’s first birthday.
“That hurts, that hurts a lot,” Woods said. “I want to be a part of my children’s life”
He said his golfing goals have not changed and he plans to win the Masters. Earlier, Woods said his golfing game could have possibly been even better if he hadn’t been chasing skirts.

Erin Andrews appearing on ‘Dancing with the Stars’ despite threats
ESPN reporter Erin Andrews is not letting death threats stop her from “Dancing with the Stars.”
Andrews tells ESPN that she is preparing to waltz with her partner on tonight’s show..
“I’m just moving on, trying to get better at dancing week to week,” Andrews said. “I just want to go out there and have fun and be the best I can be.”
About a dozen violent and sexually explicit emails have been sent to a media outlet about Andrews since September, her lawyer said last week.
According to TMZ, one letter said: “Dear Dan (Patrick): I hope Erin Andrews gets murdered in L.A.”
Another says: “I hope she gets shot in the face. I would love to see if she can dance away from a hail of gunfire. That would really make my day.”
A suspect has been identified and the FBI is investigating.
The latest of the emails discuss the case of Michael David Barrett. Barrett was sentenced last month to 2½ years in federal prison for secretly shooting nude videos of Andrews.

According to Life & Style, leaked footage from the season shows a heated exchange between the couple.
“It’s like you got more and more unhappy and angry,” Spelling reportedly cries in the footage. “I just want the old Dean back. I really do. I miss you so much.”
Spelling told Today show host Ann Curry that the thing is blown out of proportion.
“The tabloids make it extreme,” the mother of two said. “We’re not headed for divorce; we’re committed to each other. We’re committed to this family. But, you know, we work on things just like everyone else.”
The season premieres tonight at 10 p.m. on Oxygen.
