Developing Stories

An ambulance reportedly raced to Tiger Woods' block in Windermere, FL overnight and transported a middle-aged woman to the hospital ... but there are conflicting reports.

Orange County Fire officials confirm a rescue call came in at 2:36 AM from a home on Deacon Circle. TMZ has confirmed the woman was indeed transported to the hospital.

A person from County Fire tells TMZ the responding address does not sync up with Tiger's home, suggesting it's a neighbor (see update - it was Tiger's address)

But WKMG TV in Orlando is reporting someone was transported (see below) and a blonde woman in a black Escalade followed an ambulance from Deacon Circle to Health Central hospital -- the same hospital that treated Tiger the night of his accident.

The Escalade's vehicle tag is similar to the one that crashed -- and, we know, Tiger has a second Escalade.

Story developing ...

Tiger Woods will not be showing up for his best friend's wedding this weekend, where he was scheduled to serve as best man.

Woods' childhood friend, Bryon Bell, is getting hitched in South Carolina on Saturday. Bryon got caught up in the whole mess with Rachel Uchitel. As we first reported, Bryon is the one who secretly booked and paid for Rachel to rendezvous with Tiger Woods in Australia last month.

Even though Tiger will be a no-show, people involved with the wedding tell us the wedding party has laid down the law -- no cell phones or cameras.

Michelle Duggar -- star of the reality show "18 Kids and Counting" and currently pregnant with numero 19 -- was airlifted to the hospital on Saturday, but all is well.

She was experiencing contractions, but it turned out it was just gallstones. A rep for TLC says, "At this time, Michelle and her unborn baby are both stable and resting. Mrs. Duggar is in good spirits and feeling much better."

We got this photo -- taken in October at Tao nightclub during the club's 4th anniversary party. Tiger was chatting up a cocktail waitress, but she was one of at least 10 women who were captured by Tiger's charm that night.

The person who took this pic says bouncers brought various women to Tiger during the three hours he partied at the club.

It all went down in Upper Moreland Township, PA, after cops say the Wienermobile was rollin' around town with a broken third tail light ... yes, Wienermobiles have three tail lights.

But the magical powers of the Wienermobile kicked in -- and cops decided to let the mouthwatering machine off with a warning.

TMZ spoke to law enforcement sources close to the situation who gave us the best quote ever, "It's un-American to ticket the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile."

TMZ spoke with the organization's Executive Director Rita Smith, who told us she was "horrified" that SNL "made such a mockery of abuse."

During the sketch, Woods -- played by Kenan Thompson -- is visibly battered and holding up signs warning that Elin -- played by Blake Lively -- has beaten him.

During the show, the audience laughs, but Smith claims, "There's nothing funny about this story, particularly if violence was part of the events that took place ... I hope that SNL refrains from using this kind of skit in the future as it diminishes people's support for victims of domestic violence."

TMZ has learned American Family Insurance noticed their ads running during the premiere episode of the MTV reality show last week -- an episode that "outraged" one major Italian group -- and immediately called the network to make sure it doesn't happen again.

A rep for the insurance company tells us, "Since our relationship with MTV was in its final days, we took the simple and prudent step of asking MTV to not air any more ... promos during 'Jersey Shore' reruns over the weekend. MTV stated they would comply with the request."

The move opens yet another spot for advertisers looking to sell hair gel, fist-pumping instructional DVDs, tribal tats, pink eye remedies, more hair gel, Drakkar Noir, eye-brow waxing kits, and yes ... even more hair gel.

Tiger Woods and his wife Elin Nordegren had a meeting yesterday with a mysterious suited man, this according to a neighbor who talked to TMZ.

We're told Tiger, his wife and the suited man all showed up to Tiger's house in Isleworth around 4:00 PM yesterday. They all arrived in separate cars -- Elin in a red Buick, Tiger in a Black Escalade (not that one), and then the suited man in a third vehicle.

The suited man left after the 2.5 hour tête-à-tête, but Tiger and Elin's cars are still there at last check.

We called Tiger's lawyer to figure out who the mystery man was -- no comment.

Bryon Bell, President of Tiger Woods Design, is tying the knot next weekend in South Carolina. We're told Bryon picked Tiger as best man, which makes sense. Aside from their friendship, Bryon booked and paid for a trip so alleged mistress Rachel Uchitel could secretly rendezvous with Tiger last month in Australia.

Tiger has been in hiding since the day after Thanksgiving, but if he emerges anytime soon -- it could be for his best friend's wedding.

Stay tuned.

One bar -- Blue Martini -- is a ritzy bar where Tiger spent many a night in the VIP lounge. People who work there say Woods -- who's a regular -- is really friendly with the waitresses and frequently hangs in the lounge with lots of women.

We called Blue Martini to ask if Tiger had been there the evening of the accident. The woman who answered said, "Alcohol was not a factor" and hung up.

And there's another local haunt -- 23 -- which Woods frequented so much managers called a section of the lounge "The Tiger Room," a private section of 23.

The waitress says Tiger's tab usually runs around $1,500 a night.

TMZ has obtained legal documents, in which the wrestler accuses Linda of stripping his home of all sorts of valuable stuff when she moved out -- including chandeliers, a tanning bed, a wine rack, fixtures, bathtubs, speakers ... and most importantly, "the wooden antique toilet seat from the guest house."

In the docs, Hulk claims Linda's alleged pillaging left the home in such a bad state, that Hulk refuses to let his realtor show the place to potential buyers ... so they can sell it and move on.

A man without his beloved toilet seat is not really a man at all.

TMZ has learned Billy Joel's 23-year-old daughter, Alexa Ray Joel, is in stable condition right now after being transported to a New York hospital just a few hours ago.

According to sources close to the situation, authorities arrived to Alexa's Manhattan apartment around 12:24 PM after receiving a 911 call warning that Alexa was having trouble breathing.

Alexa is Joel's daughter from his marriage to supermodel Christie Brinkley.

TMZ has learned multiple Burger King restaurants across the country are reporting life-size promotional posters of Taylor Lautner and Robert Pattinson are being ripped right off the BK windows in broad daylight ... horrible time for a vampire.

So far, the interstate theft has affected BKs in Maine, Delaware and Montana. One Burger King rep tell us, "The girls just walk up in the middle of the day ... rip off the posters and run ... we've had to replace them over and over."

TMZ went to the BK web page while researching this story ... and totally got distracted by the Subservient Chicken thing. FYI -- you can totally make him pee on the couch.

Domino's just delivered a major blow to the reality show, instructing their media buyers to pull all Domino's commercials from future episodes.

A rep for the pizza giant tells TMZ, "The content of this particular program is not right for Domino's Pizza."

The announcement could mean a huge advertising opportunity for anyone selling hair gel, vodka, self-tanning products, steroids, hair-removal products, eye-liner, more hair gel, breast enhancements, cologne, energy drinks, Affliction t-shirts, fake nails and even more hair gel.

UPDATE: A rep for MTV tells us: "Jersey Shore" may not be for every sponsor or advertiser and we understand that."

TMZ has learned NBC news anchor Tom Brokaw was involved in a 3-car accident in New York today around 1:00 PM Eastern Time.

Brokaw was in his car with his wife. A woman in one of the other cars died when she was thrown from her SUV.

Brokaw and his wife, Meredith, are OK.

The Brokaws just released the following statement:

"Tom and Meredith Brokaw, at around 1 p.m. today, were in a three vehicle accident on the Bruckner Expressway. The Brokaws were in the far left lane when they noticed a spool of cable bouncing along the far right lane.

Just then, a green SUV in the right lane came up fast and tried to avoid the cable. The driver lost control of her vehicle and slid into the middle lane, forcing a mail truck into the Brokaw lane of traffic. As the mail truck careened into the Brokaw lane, Tom hit the brakes hard and skidded along the median. When the mail truck catapulted the median the Brokaw vehicle slid into it.

Neither Tom nor Meredith were injured but tragically the driver of the SUV was thrown from her vehicle and killed. Tom and Meredith are greatly saddened by this loss of life."

UPDATE: The victim has been identified as a 28-year-old woman, who worked near the scene of the accident. An autopsy is scheduled for tomorrow.

UPDATE 6:05 PM EST: The FDNY just released more information about the accident, explaining, "the vehicles collided & [the SUV driver] went off the highway & to the ground below ... Another male went to a local hospital in serious condition- private ambulance transported him."

About 3 minutes into the call, which came in at 2:17 PM local time, a man tells the 911 operator, "We're having a problem with Katt Williams ... and we need someone to come out here now."

The caller then explains, "They pulled out a shotgun and stuff like this."

The operator replied, "He pulled out a shotgun?"

The caller responds, "Yes Ma'am."

As TMZ first reported, Williams along with several other men from his "entourage" were arrested in the Walmart parking lot and transported to a local jail.

So far, no word on what charges, if any, Williams is facing.

UPDATE: After cops arrived, we're told someone at the scene complained of chest pains and was transported to a local hospital.
