Tiger Woods -- Strollin'?

Published | Updated

Finally, a sign of activity outside Tiger Woods' home -- but not the one where he wrecked his SUV.

TMZ has obtained a photo of Tiger's other home in the Windermere development near Orlando, Florida -- right around the corner from Tiger's main home -- and as of yesterday, there are two new vehicles of interest parked in front of house #2 .... a red Buick and a baby stroller.

FYI -- Tiger and Elin have a 9-month-old son together.

It's unclear whose vehicle is in front of the house -- or who, if anyone, is staying in house #2 -- but it's the first hint of movement from Tiger since the initial incident last Friday.

Tiger Woods Didn't Pay Rachel a Penny

Published | Updated

Sources tell TMZ Rachel Uchitel did not make any financial deal with Tiger Woods -- and there are two reasons she torpedoed her scheduled news conference yesterday: fear and secrets.

Sources say in the wee hours of the morning yesterday, after many phone calls back and forth between Rachel, Tiger and their reps, Rachel decided not to come out fighting at a news conference. She walked away without taking a cent from Tiger Woods. One very connected source said, "This was absolutely not about money."

Sources say Rachel became "scared for her safety" because she knows so much about Tiger, his alleged affairs and a variety of other Woods matters. We're told Tiger confided in Rachel ... she knows specifics about "other women," as well as information about Tiger's marriage.

The sources were quick to point out, Rachel does not fear Tiger, as much as she fears all the other people caught in what is becoming a very large net.

Rachel, we're told, just wants to disappear for a while.

Tiger Woods Used Childhood Friend as Cover

Published | Updated

TMZ has learned one of Tiger Woods' employees helped the golfer secretly rendezvous with at least one woman with whom he allegedly had a sexual relationship.

Sources say Bryon Bell, a childhood friend and President of Tiger Woods Design, bought a plane ticket for Rachel Uchitel to go to Australia in mid-November to secretly spend time with Tiger.

The ticket was purchased by Bell using a credit card. He also booked a room for Uchitel at the Crown Towers Hotel in Melbourne.

The trip coincided with the Australian Masters -- which Tiger won.

We've learned Bell actually flew with Uchitel to Melbourne and both had rooms at the hotel.

Erin Andrews Case -- The Search for 'Breastboy'

Published | Updated

Erin Andrews' alleged stalker may have another creepy Internet alias -- Breastboy -- which he allegedly used to upload Peeping Tom videos on the Web for all to see.

The FBI served search warrants on Yahoo and Google yesterday, asking the Internet giants to turn over every bit of information about a Flickr.com account associated with the perverted username "Breastboy."

The Breastboy account was allegedly accessed by someone with the equally perverted Yahoo username "Handsfouryou" -- which Feds think is suspect Michael David Barrett.

One of the major items the FBI wants Yahoo to turn over: a 42-second video entitled "Hot Blonde Out of Shower" uploaded on June 28, 2009 -- which appeared to be shot through the same type of hotel room peephole Erin fell victim to.

In the docs, it says the video was viewed 2,956 times ... and "49 people called this video a favorite."

The FBI wants the video -- along with "all messages, sent messages, deleted messages and messages maintained in trash and other folders" connected to Barrett's alleged accounts.

Barrett has already pled not guilty to interstate stalking.

Nas Busted with a Green Tongue

Published | Updated

UPDATE: How's this for a twist. We just got info from the courts -- Nas' DUI case has been administratively dismissed. The reason: Not enough evidence because his drug test "came back negative for drugs, including marijuana." Interesting, especially because Nas admitted to cops he had been smoking weed!

Nas -- aka Nasir Jones -- was driving under the influence of weed when he was busted for DUI, this according to Nas himself.

As we first reported, Nas was arrested for DUI near his Georgia home back in September. TMZ has obtained the police report, which says, "Mr. Jones had a green tongue with raised taste buds and his pulse was raised to 116 beats per minute."

The arresting officer says he observed "eyelid tremors in both eyes and body tremors." Cops say the car smelled of "raw marijuana."

Nas told officers he had been smoking weed at his friend's house before he was busted.

Nas flunked one of the field sobriety tests -- the walking test -- by taking the wrong number of steps

Rachel and Tiger Spoke Last Night

Published | Updated

Gloria Allred has never canceled a news conference in her career ... so why was today's camera op scuttled? Sources tell us Rachel Uchitel and Tiger Woods have been communicating ... as recently as late last night.

Sources say Rachel was in touch with Tiger and his reps before Friday's car accident and last night for approximately a half hour.

There are reports of some sort of deal between Rachel and Tiger -- i.e. money for silence. We have no knowledge one way or the other. As of last night we do know no financial overture had been made.

But we do know Rachel, Tiger and his reps knew full well her original plan was to lie and deny the sexual relationship.

What we do know for sure: Gloria Allred is a good chess player, so someone made a move in the last 12 hours.

Tiger Offered $5 Million to Endorse Adultery

Published | Updated

It's a match made in hell -- a popular adultery website is offering Tiger Woods a whole lotta moolah to be the new face of Internet-based cheating ... and the offers don't stop there.

TMZ has obtained a contract sent to Tiger by the people over at AshleyMadison.com -- a website for people who want to secretly cheat on their spouses -- offering him $5 million to provide services in connection with the "advertisement, endorsement, sale and promotion" of the website.

The site's honchos never call Tiger out for cheating ... they just think Tiger and his self-proclaimed "personal sins" are a perfect match for their cheeky agenda.

Now for Round Two: The porn company Vivid Entertainement is offering up their own $1 million purse ... to "any woman who has proof she was a paramour of Tiger Woods and will sign a contract with the studio."

Sounds like a raw deal.

Tiger Woods' Wife Confronted Alleged Mistress

Published | Updated

Tiger Woods' wife Elin Nordegren placed an angry call to Jaimee Grubbs, Tiger's alleged mistress, confronting her about the alleged affair with her husband.

As we first reported, Grubbs bragged to co-workers at the Stone Rose Lounge in West Hollywood, claiming she was having an affair with Tiger and even playing them the voicemail Tiger left for Jaimee on November 24 -- when he asked her to remove her name from the outgoing message on her voicemail because Elin was becoming suspicious.

Co-workers tell TMZ on Friday -- the day of Tiger's crash -- Jaimee went to work, played the voicemail to co-workers and then later in the evening said she had received a call from a blocked number. Jaimee says she answered and asked who was on the line. Jaimee says the caller -- a woman -- did not identify herself but said, "You know who this is because you're f**king my husband."

Jay-Z Sues Tea House for Ripping 'Umbrella'

Published | Updated

Jay-Z is lumping up a tea house in Alabama claiming the place was rockin' his music without paying the price.

Just like Taylor Swift, Bon Jovi and Gwen Stefani, Jay also signed on to a lawsuit against a small business that plays his music without paying for the rights.

This time the sting operation went down at a place in Mobile, AL called A Spot of Tea -- which turns into a nightclub called Club Insanity.

According to the lawsuit, agents working for ASCAP -- an enforcer of music royalties -- observed the bar rocking out all sorts of tunes they're not allowed to play, including:

- Mary Jane by Rick James
- Erotica by Madonna
- Rock With You by Michael Jackson
- Umbrella by Rihanna and Jay-Z

Now Jay-Z, along with the publishers of the other songs, wants the Tea-bags to pay up.

And really, he could use the cash...

Alleged MJ Lovechild Won't Accept Rejection

Published | Updated

Prince Michael Malachi Jet Jackson -- the 24-year-old who claims to be MJ's lovechild -- is going back to court in the hopes of getting a slice of Jacko's fortune, even though he was already rejected by the people who run MJ's estate.

PMMJJ just filed "objections of rejection" paperwork in L.A. County Superior Court, in which he begs a judge to "have determined that he is the biological son of decedent Michael Joseph Jackson ... and gain whatever benefits he is entitled to."

The Jackson estate had rejected PMMJJ's claim back in August, even though he provided a California birth certificate which lists Michael Joseph Jackson as his father.

Verne Troyer: My Former GF Tells Tall Tales

Published | Updated

Verne Troyer claims his ex-girlfriend -- who recently obtained a restraining order against him -- is just a lying gold-digger who had a bone to pick.

In a response filed in L.A. County Superior Court, Verne admits he started dating Yvette Monet after meeting her at a party at the Playboy mansion in December of '08.

Verne claims Yvette eventually wanted him to give her money so she could pay her bills -- but when she refused to cough up the actual bills, they got into a big fight.

Verne says he ended up cutting her a check for $2,000 anyway ... but they broke up a week later despite his generosity.

Monet eventually filed for a temporary restraining order against him -- which was granted -- claiming Verne wouldn't stop texting her ... and even threatened her life by saying his friends carried guns and would do anything he asked.

In the documents, filed by attorney Ed McPherson, Verne says "at no time did I ever threaten Ms. Monet or even hint to her that I would harm her in any way."

Verne says he found out about the restraining order by reading about it in the media.
