Tiger Woods buys $65 million mansion

Tiger Woods

Tiger Woods has a new spot to store his clubs.

The golfer, 32, has snapped up a $65 million, 13,200-square-foot oceanfront estate in Southampton, New York.

The digs come complete with six bedroom suites, a music room, a cypress wood-paneled library and staff quarters, as well as a 7,500-square-foot guesthouse, which features ocean views, three bedrooms, a den and a kitchen.

Wait, there’s more!

Nicknamed “By the Sea,” the mansion is surrounded by a seaside pool with spa, tennis court, lily pond and professionally-landscaped gardens. (Perfect for afternoon walks for Woods’ wife Elin Nordegren, 28, and their daughter, Sam, 9 months!)

Their new neighbors? Fashion designer Vera Wang and New York Times publisher Arthur Ochs Sulzberger.

The New York Post first reported the news. A rep for Woods had no comment when contacted by Usmagazine.com.

This isn’t the first home Woods has splurged on.

He also owns a $40 million estate on Jupiter Island, Florida (that was partially destroyed in a fire last year) and a 155-foot long yacht, Privacy. He’s also building a 16,500-square-foot palace that will feature a pool and theater on a golf course he designed in Dubai.

Carnie Wilson still struggles with her weight

Carnie Wilson

In 1999, Carnie Wilson famously underwent gastric bypass surgery to cut 150 lbs. off her 300-lb. frame. Her struggle with her weight wasn’t over, though, as she gained back the pounds carrying daughter Lola, now 2. But after a stint on VH1′s Celebrity Fit Club, Carnie shed another 22 lbs. That was two years ago. Now, a month away from her 40th birthday, Carnie weighs 208 lbs. and wears a size 16. Opening up to OK!, the singer says she has hit “rock bottom” with her weight.

“Everyone can see that I’m bigger, but I cannot hibernate,” she tells OK!. “I’ve never lied or been dishonest about what’s going on in my life. Even all these years later, having had such a great weight-loss story, being back in this place is so familiar. And it hurts. I don’t want to feel this way anymore. It doesn’t feel good when you have to struggle to get your pants on.”

The source of her tremendous weight gain is snacking. Since having her daughter, the former Wilson Phillips star says she turned all her focus on her little girl, leaving little to no attention to her weight or diet.

“I had anxiety, started snacking and gained it all back and more,” she says. “I have a weakness when it comes to snacking. For me, it’s a tortilla with cheese, popcorn and graham crackers, all in one night.”

Now Carnie is determined to get back into shape — and get pregnant.

“I’d like to lose 45 to 50 pounds and then try to get pregnant again. I know I will do it! I don’t consider myself a failure. I just got off track.”

Terri Irwin denies selling Steve’s Australian zoo

Terri & Bindi Irwin

Late Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin’s widow Terri denies reports she plans to sell his Australian zoo and return to her native U.S.

Terri says media reports claiming she plans to sell the zoo he founded on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast to US-based investors are untrue. She says, “I’ll never leave. I love Australia and I’m doing my best to be a fair dinkum Aussie sheila and honor all of Steve’s work and yeah, I’ll be here the rest of my life. “There have been so many rumors about so many things and I have no idea where they all come from but I can assure everyone that the conservation work that we’re doing in Australia will continue and will certainly have a global impact but we’re not leaving and we love Australia and everybody here.” Irwin also plays down reports she hopes to turn the wildlife conservation site into a theme park.

She adds, “I don’t know about rides but there will sure be a lot more animals, more mega-fun and more hands-on experiences and we’ll remain the unique experience for zoological facilities and wildlife hospitals expanding, everything we’re doing is just going to get bigger and better.” Irwin died in September 2006 when he was stabbed in the heart with a stingray barb.

Stephen King & John Mellencamp team up for musical

Stephen King

“Ghost Brothers of Darkland County,” a new Southern Gothic musical by Stephen King, the horror writer, and John Mellencamp, the musician, is to open in April 2009 at the Alliance Theater in Atlanta.

In a recent interview in Rolling Stone, Mr. Mellencamp said that if the musical, about the reverberations of a tragedy in small-town Mississippi, did well in Atlanta, it would head to Broadway.

What a collaboration we never thought we’d see. Hopefully the interesting combination will turn out well.

Gary Coleman got married after only five months

Gary Coleman

Former child star Gary Coleman has gotten married to his fiancee, Shannon Price, after only knowing her for five months. He admits that the ceremony was a very private affair and says, “Nobody was around but the minister, the preacher, the videographers, the photographer, the helicopter pilot and us.”

Wait, Gary Coleman can afford a helicopter? It must be all that eBaying they’re doing.

He insists that the 18 years between them means nothing, even though she had no idea who he was when they first met last year. He adds, “I don’t have issues with age, I have issues with intelligence and she’s more intelligent than I am, and that’s what matters to me.”

His bride, on the other hand, says that she knows she has a testing time ahead of her as the temperamental actor’s young bride: “He lets his anger conquer him sometimes. He throws things around, and sometimes he throws it in my direction. I don’t like the violence.”

I don’t think this union is going to last long, just given what she’s said.

Dolly Parton postpones concert due to back problems

Dolly Parton

A back problem has forced Dolly Parton to postpone a concert tour she planned in support of her new CD. Dolly was scheduled to kick off a 13-show tour Feb. 28 in Minneapolis, two days after the release of “Backwoods Barbie”, publicist Marcee Rondan said Monday.

Doctors advised Parton to take up to eight weeks off to recover from the unspecified problem.

Rondan said she had no information on the nature of Parton’s back condition.

“I know I have been breaking my neck and bending over backwards trying to get my new ‘Backwoods Barbie’ CD and world tour together, but I didn’t mean to hurt myself doing it,” Parton, 62, said in a statement.

She said doctors told her she will be “good as new in a few weeks, and I can’t wait to get back out there.”

The tour will be rescheduled for late April through May. Tickets will be honored for the new dates.
