Rachel Uchitel and Tiger Woods: Ambien Fiends!

As we reported yesterday, Rachel Uchitel joined the cast of Celebrity Rehab . Amazingly, her addiction is not having affairs with married celebrities, but drugs. Of the prescription variety: Ambien to be precise. That ring any bells? It should, considering that she did the drug with Tiger Woods, whose Ambien-fueled sex romps with his chief mistress are no secret. He also dreamed of an Uchitel-Derek Jeter-David Boreanaz threesome during an Ambien-fueled dream at one point, but that’s a story for another time. In new email messages between Uchitel and Woods obtained by Radar Online , the golfer asked her for Ambien – and she worried about their addiction. “Would it be possible for you to get us some more Ambien,” Woods emailed her in November of last year, right before his cheating ways were exposed. FORMER LOVERS : Of each other, and of Ambien . Uchitel responded, “Ok, but we need to talk about this. I don’t know how to deal with us possibly being addicted to prescription meds. What can I say to make you stop taking Ambien excessively? What can I do to prove that I’m worried?” “I feel like taking pills is my only alternative!” Woods answered. There is no indication that Tiger is or was addicted to Ambien, a sedative and hypnotic known to increase sexual pleasure immediately after it is taken. Rachel Uchitel is another story . Their affair came to a crashing halt when Tiger’s Escalade crashed into a tree following his attempt to flee an enraged Elin Woods , but it doesn’t look like the professional adulterer has slowed down in her Ambien consumption since. She joined Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew this week. Celebrity Apprentice had been courting her as well, but the Donald is no longer interested.

China in Denial About Becoming World’s Largest Energy Consumer

photo: Dieter Weinelt via flickr China passed the United States in terms of national carbon emissions a couple years back, and according to new data from the International Energy Agency also just passed the US in terms of total energy consumption. That doesn’t quite fit with China’s cultivated image of still being a developing economy in need of special international privileges, so it’s denying that the IEA figures paint a true picture. … Read the full story on TreeHugger

The Fatwa Against Female Cyclists

This oil painting by Vita Di Milano is from “Women and Wheels” dedicated, according to the artist, to “women’s freedom from the dogmas and the doctrines of religion.” Female cyclists have a hard enough time – we are generally a bit more safety-conscious and reticent when it comes to getting out on city streets , and the athletic among us who do fearlessly dive into bike racing and other cycling sports do so with less support or acknowledgment from the rest of the sporting world than men cyclists get. So … Read the full story on TreeHugger

They have a more efficient means of transporting carbon dioxide.

A Different Conservative View on Climate Change: It’s Happening

One of 52,400 Google images critical of Al Gore and Climate Change The one time I met Jonathan Kay he was rude and arrogant, and he often comes off that way in his column in the National Post. But unlike the Posties in the back pages who are rabid climate change deniers, Kay makes a lot of sense in his article Global-warming deniers are a liability to the conservative cause. Like many of us at TreeHugger, he despairs about how the climate change issue has become politicized into a left/right split, but he … Read the full story on TreeHugger
