Why Didn't Tiger Woods Use A Driver? Oh, Too Soon?
Apparently Tiger Woods has been injured in a car accident early Friday morning. Authorities have stated that the PGA pro was taken to Health Central Hospital in Florida after hitting a fire hydrant and a tree while pulling out of the driveway of his home at about 2:30am eastern time. He was first reported to have sustained facial lacerations and was in and out of consciousness when paramedics arrived, after being alerted to the crash by Woods' wife, Elin. Mrs Woods discovered the injured golfing legend and returned to their Florida home to get a golf club and then broke back window in order to free Woods.
Authorities say that charges are pending, but wanted to ensure that it is known that alcohol was not a factor in the accident. Woods, 34 years old next month, won the last golf tournament that he appeared in, the JBWere masters, in Melbourne, Australia, on November 15 and was scheduled to start his next tournament on Thursday, December 3rd, but it is unknown whether he will be able to keep that commitment.

Latest Fringe Episode Delivers Answers, But More Questions
The latest episode of Fringe delivered some of the sought after answers of fans, but also brought some new questions. Apparently, Peter, played by Joshua Jackson, is from an alternative reality, but his father, John Noble's character Walter, doesn't want to tell him. Got it? Also, these bald dudes (called "Observers") have a role in all this that hasn't been spelled out. What we now know is that there are more than one of them and that they seem to show up at seminal points in history, like the French and American Revolutions, or JFK's assassination.
In this latest episode, Agent Olivia Dunham (played by Anna Torv) and Peter visit Massive Dynamic, and discover the theory that the Observers are not traveling through time, but "observe" time, especially major historical events. Also, they are not immortal. It seems that there are more and more sightings of these Observers, which points to some momentous event may be in the offing.

Adam Lambert's Weird Performance At AMAs
Just see for yourself. Adam Lambert's music is not what I want to hear, and what's with him kissing the male keyboardist? I know he announced that he was gay and all, and maybe he was just representin' but all I can say is Meh. This clip is from the American Music Association Awards show from the other night. Couldn't take that screeching at the end.

Martha Stewart Slams Rachael Ray
A smug Martha Stewart said that Rachael Ray "can't cook" and that Ray is just a "bubbly personality" who "can't do what I do" during an interview the other day. Rachael Ray was very tactful in her reply, saying that Stewart was correct and that she along with most people would prefer Stewart's meals to her own. But still this seems sort of catty and condescending on Stewart's part.
Apparently, Martha Stewart appeared the day before the interview on the Rachael Ray Show, and then took the opportunity to try to shoot down a possible competitor. Methinks Stewart is worried about Ray more as competition for her show, which seems to flagging somewhat.

Robert Pattison Drops In On Ryan Seacrest
New Moon star Robert Pattison stopped by Ryan Seacrest's morning radio show the other day and Pattison's publicist immediately shut Seacrest down when he tried to ask him about his so-called "romance" with Twilight co-star Kristin Stewart. The publicist quickly whisked Pattison back out to the waiting throng of fans who were obviously delighted in the chance to meet the favorite movie vampire.
Pattison did get a plug in for New Moon which opened to boffo box office numbers the other day. The latest installment brought in $26.3 million in midnight ticket sales and is set to make more than $70 million in single-day sales. But sales are expected to drop off over the weekend. The previous high mark for one-day domestic ticket sales was $67.2 million in 2008, which was set by the most recent Batman flick "The Dark Knight".

Oprah Plans On Ending The Oprah Show In 2011
Apparently Oprah Winfrey is planning on ending The Oprah Winfrey Show sometime in 2011. Do not dispair Oprah fans, she will be back. The tremendously successful Oprah Winfrey will be off the air for about 2 years while she puts together her own Oprah cable television station. Yes, as David Letterman says "Oprah has ALL the money."
Also, you can bet that the omnipresent owner of Harpo Studios will be popping up on television during that 2 year period keeping the Oprah brand alive and in front of the eyes of the die-hard Winfrey fans winding down the countdown until she re-surfaces in her latest money-making venture. I'm wondering if she will be doing Barbara Walters-style celeb interviews during prime time.
Winfrey's ratings will likely decline sharply when she tosses off the hindrance of those pesky network execs as she will then own, her show, her production company, and the station airing her show. Being the on-air talent as well, Ms Winfrey will have all her bases covered. Expect Oprah to make an absolute KILLING with this venture. Not only will the Oprah channel have Oprah, but the station will likely air other Oprah-approved and inspired television shows.
One clear winner in Winfrey's decision to abandon the daytime airwaves will likely be Ellen DeGeneres, at least for a couple of years when Oprah comes storming back to re-claim her throne as the Queen of the Daytime talk shows.
