Dog the Bounty Hunter Rescues Tiger Woods’ Mistress From Drug Den, Proves 2018 is the Weirdest

Folks, we’re gonna step into the Wayback Machine for a moment and transport you directly to 2009. A fresh-faced Barack Obama had just moved into the White House; the global economy was still reeling from the Great Recession; and the Tiger Woods cheating scandal dominated tabloid headlines. For our younger readers who may not remember the revelation that Woods’ obsession with holes extended beyond the golf course, allow us to summarize it thusly: Tiger Woods slept with all the women. Actually, to be fair, it’s not totally clear if he was still sleeping with his wife with any regularity, but in 2009, he was definitely banging everyone who wasn’t his wife. Another figure from the bygone oughts who factors into today’s sordid tale is Duane Chapman, otherwise known as Dog the Bounty Hunter. There was a time when networks were allowed to produce reality shows that focused on things other than real estate and reproduction. During this time, Dog reigned supreme, combining the most bonkers elements of Cops and Intervention to form a weird hybrid product in which he would tackle people and then lecture them about their life choices. How do the tales of these two fallen heroes intersect? Well to explain that, we need to introduce you to Jamie Jungers. Jungers was one of Woods’ mistresses , and it seems her life hit the skids in a major way in the years since she parted ways with the golfer. Fortunately, Dog emerged from retirement to come to Jamie’s rescue. In a wild interview with Radar Online, Chapman tells the tale of saving Jungers’ life by rescuing her from a drug house where she was exchanging sexual favors for heroin: “She was 88 pounds when we got her and the handcuffs wouldn’t even go on her wrists because they were so skinny. She was going to die in the next few weeks,” Dog tells Radar. “These guys were holding her in a house where she was giving sexual favors for drugs,” he adds. “She told me she was trading drugs for sex with guys at four or five houses.” Hilariously, Chapman thinks we need to know the professions of Jamie’s johns: “One was the top investigator for one of the biggest insurance companies in the U.S. Another guy was in construction,” he tells the website. Champman goes on to say that Jungers fully blames Woods for the current state of her life: “She said she blames Tiger,” he reveals. “She said all these dirty motherf–kers wanted to f–k me just because I had f–ked Tiger Woods, and before I knew it all these people were coming into my life because of drugs and I’m a f–cking junkie now and I hate it.” Well, Tiger might be partially responsible, but it seems like there’s a lot of blame to go around in this case. This has been the first in what we hope will be many installments of Dog vs. Tiger . View Slideshow: Tiger Woods Mistresses: Playing All the Holes!

Roy Clark Dies; Country Music Legend Was 85

Roy Clark, a legend in the world of country music and the former host of Hee Haw, died this morning at his home in Tulsa, Oklahoma. He was 85 years old. A representative for the Grammy, CMA and ACM Award-winner tells TMZ Clark passed away after having recently contracted pneumonia — and that he ultimately passed due to complications from the illness. Clark had been in the spotlight for decades. He started performing all the way back at the age of 14 and was one of the first artists to land singles on both the pop and country charts. Adept at the guitar, banjo, fiddle, mandolin, harmonica and many other instruments, Clark was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2009. He was born in Virginia and was introduced to the music industry by his father, who saw exceptional talent in his young son. “I was subjected to different kinds of music before I ever played,” Clark once said, adding of his father: “Dad said, ‘Never turn your ear off to music until your heart hears it because then you might hear something you like.'” Sound advice, right? Clark eventually went on tour with such stalwarts as Hank Williams and Grandpa Jones, dropping out of school when he could no longer keep up with the demands of both his burgeoning career and his studies. “Music was my salvation, the thing I loved most and did best,” Clark said. “Whatever was fun, I’d go do that.” After winning a banjo competition in 1950, Clark was invited to perform at the Grand Ole Opry. However, it wasn’t until 1960, when Clark performed with Wanda Jackson, that his career truly took off. After opening for Jackson in Las Vegas, he launched his own headlining tour, remaining on the road for 345 consecutive nights… and earning him his very own show in Sin City. In 1962, Clark released his debut album, “The Lightning Fingers of Roy Clark.” This album spawned his first hit, “The Tips of My Fingers,” which included an orchestra and strings section. In 1963, Clark appeared on both The Tonight Show and American Bandstand, showing off a sense of humor and personality that not many fans even knew existed. “Humor is a blessing to me,” said Clark. “My earliest recollections are of looking at something and seeing the lighter side. But it’s always spontaneous. I couldn’t write a comedy skit for someone else.” This point of view and this talent helped Clark become the host of Hee Haw, a country music variety show. He helmed the program for 24 years and his guests included Johnny Cash, Garth Brooks and Loretta Lynn. Clark is survived by Barbara, his wife of 61 years, and his five children. Although an exact date and time has not yet been announced, a memorial is expected to be held in the coming days in Tulsa. View Slideshow: Celebrities Who Died in 2018: In Memoriam
