EliN iS sTaYiNg WiTh TiGeR: GeNuInE or InGeNuInE?

It's been reported that Elin Nordegren Woods (above-l), wife of famous golfer Tiger Woods (above-r), is allegedly giving her marriage another try. Often we see wives stand by their men when dealing with infidelity in the marriage, and people always try to speculate what keeps the women around. 

True love? For the sake of the children? Or is it something bigger?

In Elin's case her husband Tiger, was caught cheating with sixteen different women and one in particular, who had been in the Woods' home on more than one occasion! Elin heard of her husband's infidelity through the public instead of in private; how embarrassing. 

And Afterwards Elin did what any woman would do when hearing about her husband's cheating ways; she beat his ass! Then, she went full speed ahead towards divorce court but than called it all off. 

Why?

Personally, I think Elin may have a surprise up her sleeve because how do you go from being enraged, to being happy and settling differences all within a month? Tiger even gifted Elin with her own yacht, and it seems Elin is perfectly happy making Tiger feel bad for what he's done, rather than let him off the hook so easy with divorce. By the time Elin decides to divorce Tiger, she would have him first buy her a heap of things worth millions of dollars. I hope he isn't stupid enough to do what he did a second time because if he does, she's taking everything he has -- E-VER-Y-THING!

Tiger was overheard saying he'd "pull a Kobe Bryant" in order to keep Elin; of course referring to LA Laker Kobe Bryant, who cheated on his wife Vanessa and then bought her a 4 million dollar ring to reconcile.

Do you think Elin's yacht cost more than Vanessa Bryant's ring? 

And how appalling is it that Tiger feels all he has to do is pacify his wife with money and she'll shut-up?! It kind of shows how much he thinks of her which is apparently not much. Any real woman would have cursed him out for even thinking he can pull that crap! This is what leads me to believe Elin is out for revenge. 

Now ladies if you were in Elin's shoes, you'd probably be fast tracking it to divorce court because how can one continue to sleep with, be in the presence of, or joke around -- with a spouse that you know did you wrong without wanting to bash his face in?

Karma is a bitch?

Women should you choose to stay in a cheating marriage, just know you can't hold previous actions against your spouse moving forward and if you do -- it will never work. You must let things go and start anew. Of course you won't ever forget what happened, but it is necessary for you to rekindle what it was that brought you together in the first place.

Good luck to Elin and Tiger; I can't wait to see the "real" outcome.

KhLoE kArDaShIaN tO wEd LaMaR oDoM

E! reality TV star Khloé Kardashian, is headed down the aisle with NBA player beau Lamar Odom. The ceremony is being thrown together so quickly that guests are being notified by phone instead of by formal invite. Formal invitations are due to go out this week, a source reports.

The E! network first confirmed the wedding details with sources also confirming, that the couple went ring shopping over the weekend to find a big sparkler that Khloé would love. Allegedly, the new couple have been dating for only a month -- but their whirlwind romance seems to be going well. 

"They're very, very happy," older sister Kim told People magazine this month. "Khloé thinks he's amazing and makes her laugh and smile constantly."

We'll see what happens!

                                                 Wendy Williams

After a string of episodes on the VH1 network every few months, I knew it was only a matter of time before the Wendy Williams Show became official. 

Her VH1 segments were so juicy I knew the gossip queen would retain a permanent spot; it took long enough but she finally did it! 

As a faithful follower of Wendy Williams' radio show on 107.5 WBLS, the Jersey native grasped my attention with her sarcastic humor and persistent nature of getting down to the nitty gritty of all dirty entertainment gossip; if you wanted to know who producer/rapper P. Diddy was having sex with -- you'd tune into Wendy to find out!

Wendy's TV show is unlike any other because she literally carried over her radio show style -- like when she whispers to the camera with her hands cupped around her mouth, a fan would instantly remember her voice lowering at specific times during her radio show conversations. She also brought her advice hour to the talk show which I always loved -- and she actually gives good advice! 

If you haven't seen it yet tune-in to The Wendy Williams Show @10am eastern time on Fox 5. 

Since the demands of her new TV show which first aired July 13th, became to much for her to continue on with her radio show The Wendy Williams Experience; Wendy is leaving radio in just a few short months. 

Wendy, we've enjoyed listening to your voice and now we'll enjoy watching you everyday in the flesh! YOU GO GIRL!

KhLoE kArDaShIaN lOsEs 20LbS iN 4 wEeKs

Big sister Kim Kardashian is helping her sister Khloé lose weight, which has been an ongoing battle for the KUWTK reality star.

When a female is tall and big boned the way Khloé is, the body is made to be a certain size for a reason and losing to much weight could potentially make a person look horrible. Khloe looks great now yes, but her voluptuous figure looked great before to. I wish full figured women would stop thinking that they're unattractive...because they're full figured.
 
For example: can you imagine rapper/actress Queen Latifah (seen-r) being skinny? No! She looks fabulous exactly the way she is. 

What about singer Alicia Keys, who's known
for having a very full figured body type -- but would you want to see her skinny? 

Even deceased model Anna Nicole Smith (seen-r); when Anna was full figured I personally thought she was gorgeous, and when she became super skinny I noticed that she appeared much older looking and somewhat dried up.

Just saying, smaller doesn't necessarily mean better. Khloé, you go girl and I hope you're enjoying the new you!

PeArL fRyEr LoCaL gArDeNiNg CeLeBrItY

Pearl Fryer, is a 72 year old African American male that became a local celebrity due to his special gardening techniques. Fryer admits to watching a three minute demonstration on gardening at a local nursery, which in turn gave him enough insight to become the self taught artist he is today. 


The Fryer's stated that when they were looking to purchase a home in a suburban white neighborhood of South Carolina, they were immediately discriminated against by those white neighbors who commented that the Fryer's, "won't keep their yard up." Apparently, these people hadn't heard of Mr. Fryer's exceptional gifts!

However, Tim Burton the creator of the film 'Edward Scissorhands' had in fact heard of Mr. Fryer, and claimed to have received his inspiration for his movie from Pearl Fryers' gardening techniques. 


Have you seen the movie Edward Scissorhands?


Where the main character Edward had scissors for hands, and used them to cut trees into exotic figures? Director Tim Burton used Fryer's gardening techniques to create computer images of exotic trees and plants within the film. The local newspaper and larger gardening community began to take notice and eventually, Fryer caught the attention of major garden design magazines who would feature his artwork in their glossy photographs. This led to the artist being invited to present at garden shows around the country! He became a regular on television shows such as PBS, HGTV, and Turner South. 


The creative horticulturist stated that he once asked his wife why she married him? He told her that he had no money and no job, and she had money and a job so why did she want him? Fryer admitted he expected his wife to say, she married him because she was madly in love with him. Instead Mrs. Fryer commented "I saw potential in you." Looks like Pearl is certainly living up to the potential that his wife envisioned?

The South Carolina resident has since retired from his regular job but still creates his artistic topiary work, and when he isn't doing that he teaches children and adults his special skills while directing tour buses that visit his gardening grounds. Mr. Fryer also does gardening for the local 'Waffle House' diner, in exchange for free meals for him and his wife. His newest adventure is metal sculpting which he calls his "Junque Art."

Pearl Fryer’s topiary garden is located in Bishopville, South Carolina, 29010. The garden is being preserved by the Garden Conservancy.
