X17 XCLUSIVE - Mastercard Sticking With Arnold Palmer Invitational, With Or Without Tiger

Posted on Fri Mar 12th, 2010 10:48am PDT       By X17 Staff

The Arnold Palmer Invitational is just ten days away, and already the tournament's major sponsor is speaking out regarding Tiger Wood's possible involvement.

The event is billed as the 32nd annual Arnold Palmer Invitational Presented by Mastercard.

So is the credit card company cool with golf's fallen hero possibly making his big return at the tournament they're sponsoring?

A Mastercard spokesperson tells X17online exclusively:

    "We'll be involved with the tournament whether or not Tiger shows up. We don't sponsor him. We sponsor the event. From our standpoint, it's about sponsoring the sport because golf fans match up well with the demographic that use our cards."


Tiger sponsors like Gatorade, AT&T and Gillette have dropped their backing of the pro golfer. If Tiger Woods shows up to the Arnold Palmer Invitational, do you think the sponsors will get flack for being associated with him? Or is all the hoopla about Tiger's infidelities over?

Both Cruz Beckham and David and Mercy were spotted playing in the park with bodyguards yesterday instead of their busy parents.

With Madonna appearing on The Marriage Ref yesterday and Posh probably off to the gym (or mourning her ex, Corey Haim's death) the kids are left to their own devices.

But never fear, with Cruz in that Superman shirt and David & Mercy in the hands of TWO bodyguards, we're sure they're perfectly protected!

And best of all, it's all for charity! 100% of the final sale price will support British Red Cross - Haiti Earthquake Appeal. - CLICK HERE to bid!

Heidi Montag Scores Legit Movie Role

Heidi Montag is so over The Hills. The reality star, whose mostly famous for her re-vamped face, is movin' on up to the big leagues. Spencer's wifey will be starring opposite Adam Sandler in a romantic comedy due out in 2011.

Heidi announced the big news via Twitter saying:

    “I was just cast in my first feature film comedy! I start filming monday!!!!! this is one of the best days of my life!!! getting icecream to celebrate”


We doubt she'll have any kind of a lead role, but the movie will also star Jennifer Aniston and Nicole Kidman. Pretty good company! The name of the flick hasn't been nailed down, but the working titles are Just Go With It and Pretend Wife. The second title just screams Heidi...don't ya think?

Good thing Mrs. Pratt has decided to dump Spencer as her manager. In a recent interview with People Magazine, she says:

    “No longer is my husband the face of my business or managing my career. The time for change is now. Never mix business and pleasure. We are no longer Speidi but Spencer and Heidi.”


All is now right in the world.

Mischa Barton Selling Her Beverly Hills Mansion For $8.4 Million

Times are tough!

Mischa Barton has put her 6 bedroom, 10 bathroom Beverly Hills mansion on the market for a cool $8.4 million. The 7,600 square foot house is in a gated community, and it includes a swimming pool, terrace and spa, along with canyon views and a media room.

Mischa bought the pad for $6.4 million in 2005 when she was still earning the big bucks on The OC, but since then the actress has struggled to get roles, and she's already had some financial troubles this year.

In January it was reported that she was being sued for unpaid rent on her New York City apartment, as M.R.A Realties claims she failed to pay three months of rent, totaling $21,000. Mischa had signed a 12-month lease on the apartment, as she was expected to be shooting The Beautiful Life for most of the year, but once the show was cancelled it looks like she bailed. Hopefully she's working towards getting her money matters back under control!

heiglgreysnews.jpg After taking several public swipes at the show that's given her a steady paycheck for the past six years, EW's Michael Ausiello reports that Katherine Heigl is done with the ABC drama Grey's Anatomy.

Sources confirm to EW that series creator Shonda Rhimes has agreed to cut Heigl loose from her contract, and apparently it’s now up to the network and Heigl’s team to work out a final exit agreement.

Though Heigl was scheduled to return to the set on March 1, she never actually showed up, and sources say that her final episode as Izzie has already aired! Heigl and ABC have been negotiating for months, and within the past week both sides decided that the best solution would be "to part ways now as opposed to at the end of the season."

Looks like Katherine finally got her wish!
