Ever wonder what a man looks like right after he loses $100 mil??? Well, look no further ...
TMZ has obtained this photo of Tiger Woods ... taken moments after the hearing in which his divorce from Elin Nordegren was finalized at Bay County Circuit Court in Panama City, Florida last month.
Tiger -- who didn't say one word to Elin that day -- smiled and posed for a photo with the bailiff from the hearing right after they left the courtroom.
One source tells us Tiger was "nice" -- even after signing away roughly $100 million to Elin.
It's the first time -- in a reeeeealy long time -- that Tiger has been seen out without the Nike swoosh.

Oksana Grigorieva is asking the judge to make Mel Gibson buck up -- WAAY up -- by increasing her monthly child support from $5,000 a month to more than $40,000 ... sources tell TMZ.
As we've reported, Mel currently pays Oksana the tidy sum of $5,000 a month in child support for baby Lucia, and also pays for the Sherman Oaks house where they live. But we're told Oksana now wants nearly 10 times what she currently gets.
Here's what's interesting. Our sources say Oksana gets $2,500 a month in child support from Timothy Dalton -- the father of her 13-year-old son Alexander.
It's a tough sell convincing Judge Scott Gordon that a 9 month old baby needs nearly 20 times more money than a 13 year old boy.
One source scoffed, "Lifestyle is not an issue for a 9-month-old. Think she knows the difference between a Ford and a Bentley?"
We're told Judge Gordon has not ruled on Oksana's petition for more dough. Holding breath -- not advisable.

Rachel Uchitel is officially movin' on up ... TMZ has learned Tiger Woods' mistress numero uno has just purchased a swanky 3-bedroom apartment in one of the most exclusive parts of Manhattan.
Sources close to Uchitel tell TMZ ... the asking price on the unit was $2 mil, but Rachel -- who's rolling around with an extra $10 mil in her bank account courtesy of Mr. Woods -- managed to score a "pretty sweet deal" on the place.
We're told the unit boasts 3 bathrooms, a fireplace and "white-glove service" ... which includes a doorman, security -- the whole nine yards.
There are reports that the homeowners association didn't want Rachel to move into the building ... but we're told she never had an issue and the buying process was "pretty easy."
But one of the main reasons Rachel took the place, we're told, is because she thinks it would be the perfect place to start a family ... just as soon as she locks down a man.

White House crasher Michaele Salahi has finally parted ways with that little red party dress that helped her get past national security back in 2009 -- and now it could be yours ... if the price is right.
TMZ has obtained photos of Salahi handing over the dress to The Potomack Company ... an all-female owned auction house that will put the garment on the block on October 2.
And despite the Salahis' widely reported financial issues, Potomack claims Michaele and her husband Tareq Salahi have instructed the company to forward a percentage of the sale to the Clinton-Bush Haiti Fund.
So far, no word on how much the Salahis are expected to fetch for the dress.

Anne Hathaway’s con man ex-BF ain't through with the feds yet ... TMZ has learned Uncle Sam is about to auction off a bunch of the dude's expensive stuff -- including several Rolexes and a Tiffany clock.
A rep for the U.S. Marshals Service -- the federal agency in charge of the auction -- tells TMZ, Raffaello Follieri purchased items with money he scored from his giant real estate scam ... in which he lied about his connections with the Vatican to lure investors.
As we previously reported, Raffa -- who dated Hathaway from 2004-2008 -- pled guilty to 14 counts of wire fraud, conspiracy and money laundering after feds busted him 2 years ago. He is currently serving a 4.5 year prison sentence.
According to the USMS, all proceeds of the online auction -- scheduled to go down September 14-28 -- will go to Raffa's victims.

Ellen Pompeo is putting her foot down over a growing Internet con-toe-versy ... claiming a photo that surfaced recently -- which appears to show the actress with 6 toes on each foot -- is totally bogus.
The photo in question (top right) seems to be an optical illusion -- because based on another photo of the same foot (bottom right) Ellen only has five toes.
In fact, one of the Executive Producers on "Grey's Anatomy" -- Shonda Rhimes -- tweeted, "Pompeo and I are still laughing. She says to tell everyone the rumors are wrong -- she has SEVEN toes on each foot!"
Go ahead. Count 'em yourself.

The final chapter of Tiger's short life story has now been written -- TMZ has learned the aspiring dog model's body has been cremated ... but not before leaving something special behind.
According to Tiger's owners, they had the Maltese's adorable paw prints cast in bronze before she was cremated ... and had "4/19/2008 - 8/30/2010" engraved next to them.
As for where Tiger's ashes will end up ... the family says they'll probably place the urn on the shrine they erected in her honor at their apartment.
As we first reported, Tiger was massacred Monday by Cadillac, Samantha Ronson's bulldog.

TMZ has learned Nick Prugo -- the alleged ringleader of the Burglar Bunch -- has been arrested again ... but this time for something that happened when he was just 16.
Prugo was arrested today and booked as a juvenile and later released to his parents. Sources tell us he was picked up at his house by four officers and brought in to the police station.
We're told the case has something to do with an incident that went down three years ago -- but it's unclear exactly what it is. Prugo's attorney tells TMZ he believes it has to do with a burglary. Shocker.
As we previously reported, Nick was recently indicted on seven counts of first-degree residential burglary and one count of conspiracy for allegedly burglarizing the houses of a number of celebs ... including Lindsay Lohan, Audrina Patridge and Orlando Bloom.

TMZ has learned ... federal officials are "in the process" of determining if they will try to revoke T.I.'s probation in the wake of his arrest late last night.
As we first reported, T.I. -- who is still on probation for illegally possessing machine guns a few years ago -- was arrested again last night for possession of a controlled substance on the Sunset Strip.
Now, United States Attorney Sally Quillian Yates tells us, "The probation office is in the process of determining what happened and will make a recommendation regarding Mr. Harris when they have all the facts."
If officials determine T.I. did violate his probation, he could be sent back to the slammer to serve some serious prison time.
UPDATE: We're told T.I.'s probation officer has asked the rapper to return to Atlanta.

Michael Lohan is trying to put an end to allegations he fathered an illegitimate daughter 15 years ago ... and to clear his name, he's turning to the expert in daddy DNA drama -- Maury Povich.
Sources tell TMZ ... Lohan is currently talking to "Maury" producers about going on the show and taking a paternity test to prove he never impregnated Kristi Kaufmann ... who claims she had an affair with Mike in the '90s.
Lohan tells TMZ Kaufmann has demanded child support in the past ... and even changed the child's birth certificate to bear Michael's last name ... which would make the kid Lindsay adjacent.

Axl Rose shut down a live concert in Ireland last night to yell at the crowd after multiple people fired bottles onto the stage during their performance ... and it was all caught on tape.
Rose -- who literally called for his band to stop playing their instruments during their first song "Welcome to the Jungle" -- warned the crowd that he would pack up his stuff and leave if they kept up the shenanigans.
Of course, the crowd started to boo ... and Rose eventually walked off stage.
We're told the crowd was pissed because the band started their show more than 90 minutes behind schedule.
Eventually -- after several concert officials apologized to crowd -- Rose and company came back on the stage and finished the show.
