We spotted the reality TV hunk outside of Teddy's last night and, shockingly, he was actually using his phone to call someone instead of text/
sext them...
Think it was Jayde Nicole? Probably not! Maybe it was Kristin Cav!

Tiger Woods' sex scandal has cost shareholders of his main sponsors up to $12 billion, according to a new study at
UC Davis.
And get this...the losses are separate from (and possibly even greater than) the damage to Tiger's own earnings! Before the accident, Tiger earned approximately $100 million a year in endorsement income, so you can bet that he's trying to salvage his bank account along with his tarnished reputation.
Victor Stango, a professor of economics at the UC Davis Graduate School of Management and co-author of the study says, “Total shareholder losses may exceed several decades’ worth of Tiger Woods’ personal endorsement income."
The study examined eight sponsors for which stock prices were available: Accenture; AT&T; Tiger Woods PGA Tour Golf (Electronic Arts); Gillette (Proctor and Gamble); Nike; Gatorade (PepsiCo); TLC Laser Eye Centers; and Golf Digest (Conde Nast). Stango and fellow UC Davis economics professor Christopher Knittel studied stock market returns for the 13 trading days that fell between November 27 and December 17.
To assess shareholder losses, Stango and Knittel reviewed returns for Tiger's sponsors during this period to those of both the total stock market and of each sponsor’s closest competitor. The economists also looked at returns for four years before the scandal broke to determine how each company's market performance typically correlates with that of the total market and of competing firms.
Knittel and Stango concluded that the scandal reduced shareholder value in the sponsor companies by 2.3 percent, or about $12 billion. “(This) pattern of losses is unlikely to stem from ordinary day-to-day variation in their stock prices,†the researchers added. Way to go, Tiger!

No surprise here!
MTV has announced their list of
2009's most stylish stars and, naturally, Lady Gaga and Rihanna are right at the top! Lady Gaga has used fashion to promote herself from the beginning, but who would've thought last year that Rihanna would be looking so chic throughout most of '09?
Curiously, the others on their list are Taylor Swift, Taylor Lautner and the Jonas Brothers. WTF! I love the two Taylors, but they're the most boring dressers!
And the Jonas bros? Random! None of those celebs belong in the same category as Rihanna and Gaga!

And I thought she got her hourglass figure through a strict diet and a little plastic surgery!
The sexy Von Teese was snapped looking just as chic as ever leaving a Pilates class in LA yesterday. If that's what Pilates does for a body, sign me up!

La Toya Jackson touched down in Warsaw, Poland yesterday, and as soon as she stepped off the plane she was hounded by press and photographers. While most celebs would pull up their hood and do the Leo, Ms. Jackson totally kept her cool. And she's so
famehungry nice about it too!

Hmm, but is there really any cause to celebrate?
Since the pro golfer has been wrapped up in his car accident/sex scandal for the past month, turning 34 doesn't really seem like a big deal...
It's not like his wife will be getting him a gift!
Besides, is it even possible to celebrate while
in rehab? I'd imagine they're not big on parties.
Oh well! Happy birthday, Tiger.

Oh no they didn't! Ty Ty will not be smiling with her eyes when she reads this one...
Several employees from
The Tyra Banks Show have spilled some juicy details to the media on what it's like to work with Oprah 2.0, and not only do they say that she's a bit of a diva, they claim she's left some employees out in the cold!
A former crew member tells
NYDN, "There had been high turnover of employees for years" due to the fact that it was "pretty difficult to work for Tyra. She and the higher-ups on the production staff could be extremely brutal. She really is a diva."
One high-level employee did agree that Tyra can be difficult but added, "[F]or me, it was a good experience. Tyra just knows how she likes things done. And as for her ‘diva-ness,' well, it sells."
However, it doesn't look like working for Tyra has been a good experience for everyone! Reports surfaced yesterday that she told the press her show was ending before she even alerted her staff!
NYDN's source says, "It wouldn't be surprising. When the show moved from L.A. to New York, several staffers weren't even directly told about the change - they heard through the grapevine that it was going to move locations. Even so, a lot of those people gave up their lives on the West Coast so they could continue working for the show. Now they're out of luck."
Ouch! Say it ain't so Tyra!
