Oak Tree Smashed By Tiger Woods’ Car Before Scandal Broke: Cut Down!

The infamous oak tree that Tiger Woods drove into that fateful night has met a fate similar to that of his golf career. It’s gone down hard. It was Thanksgiving night in November 2009 when Woods – hopped up on painkillers and reportedly fleeing Elin Nordegren – hopped in his Escalade and plowed into the tree, which sat in his neighbor’s yard. Well, new neighbors moved in recently and tore the thing down. The construction company that did the work on the property said the tree was in terrible shape ever since the crash. The new peeps decided to get rid of it in spite of (or perhaps because of) its status as a memento of Tiger’s affair with Rachel Uchitel . A new tree will be planted soon, according to TMZ . For now, though, there’s just a portable John sitting there, allowing workmen to relieve themselves on the very spot where Tiger Woods’ career went down the toilet. Downright poetic. [Photo: WENN]

Jamie Dingman: Fooling Around on Elin Nordegren?

Tiger Woods’ ex-wife Elin Nordegren seems to have things back on track nowadays, but is her new boyfriend Jamie Dingman just as big a player as Tiges? We sincerely doubt that, but nevertheless, her friends are worried that she’s making all the same mistakes again with her new man, a wealthy investor. Elin met him at a Red Cross fundraiser ball last winter, calling him “handsome, a gentleman and low-key.” However, whispers of cheating are surfacing. Given his bizarre ties to Rachel Uchitel , it’s not hard to believe. According to an insider, Jamie “grew up incredibly privileged” and “is a total playboy, exactly the type of guy she should be staying away from.” “I actually feel sorry for her,” another insider adds. “He has houses and girls all over the world.” Sounds familiar. So what does Elin see in Jamie? Wealth, for one, but for anti-gold-digging reasons. It’s been estimated that in Elin’s divorce from Tiger she might have scored $100 million or more. Dating wealthy men is a way for Elin to make sure any new boyfriend is seriously interested in her beyond her bank account … but is he Mr. Right? Just because Jamie Dingham isn’t using Elin Nordegren for her millions doesn’t mean he isn’t using her, according to Elin’s friends, who are worried. “Jamie has never married or had kids for a reason,” says the first insider. Luckily, another source stuck up for Nordegren, saying, “Elin’s not jumping into commitment… She’s making him wait until she’s 100 percent sure.” [Photo: WENN.com]

Oscar De La Hoya Admits to Cocaine Use, Thoughts of Suicide

In a new interview with Univision, former boxer Oscar De La Hoya has opened up about the depth of his personal issues, which culminated this spring in a trip to rehab . “Rock bottom was recently,” De La Hoya said, according to an English-language transcript provided by the network. “Within couple of years, just thinking if my life was even worth it. I don’t have the strength, I don’t have the courage to take my own life but I was thinking about it.” De La Hoya says he’s been sober for three months and admits, yes, he was unfaithful to his wife. However: “We are obviously not talking a Tiger Woods here.” Known as The Golden Boy during his time in the ring, De La Hoya retired in 2009 after a 16-year career and 10 world titles. He’s worked as a promoter in the sport since. “There were drugs, my drug of choice was cocaine and alcohol. Cocaine was recent. The last 2 years, last 2 1/2 years and I depended more in the alcohol than the cocaine,” De La Hoya said. “It took me to a place where I felt safe, it took me to a place where I felt as if nobody can say anything to me, it took me to a place where I just can reach out and grab my mom.” The athlete says he’s joined Alcoholic Anonymous.

Friends Confirm Elin Nordegren-Jamie Dingman Relationship: "It’s Fun, She’s Happy"

Recent reports have been confirmed by a friend close to Elin Nordegren: She’s got a new boyfriend in Jamie Dingman , it’s fun, and she’s happy! After her divorce from Tiger Woods, Elin instantly became one of the most eligible and desirable women on Earth … but also sought to lay low. It wasn’t until a year and a half later that she was ready to move on and was spotted kissing and hugging Jamie Dingman in Stockholm, Sweden: Elin Nordegren and New Boyfriend A source confirmed to People that the two are an item, but still “at the beginning of dating, where you don’t know where it’s going to go.” Elin met Jamie, a financier, at a charity dinner in Florida benefiting Queen Silvia of Sweden’s World Childhood Foundation on April 2. Despite rumors to the contrary, such as Elin dating a student in Florida last summer, this is Nordegren’s first post-split relationship: “It’s fun and she’s happy,” adds a second Elin friend. Looks like Jamie’s strange ties to Rachel Uchitel – which reportedly blindsided Elin – haven’t put a damper on things. At least not yet. Tiger, who from all accounts we’ve read is currently single, finalized his divorce from Elin last year, giving her at least $100 million. They have two children, Sam, 4, and Charlie, 2. If things don’t work out, E, just give us a call. No one on our staff has done Rachel Uchitel. Well, probably. She does get around …

Tiger Woods and Steve Williams: It’s Over!

On the same day we confirmed Elin Nordegren and Jamie Dingman are an official item, Tiger Woods and his longtime companion have parted ways. Dude fired caddy Steve Williams after 13 years! The high-profile celebrity breakup was announced via Tiger’s website, which says, “I want to express my deepest gratitude to Stevie for all his help, but I think it’s time for a change … I wish [Steve] great success in the future.” No word if Tiger was cheating with another caddy or 20. Tiger Woods Fires Caddy Stevie says he’s shocked by the move, especially because he stuck by Woods’ side throughout the stunning cheating scandal of 2009-10. “After 13 years of loyal service needless to say this came as a shock,” he says. “Given the circumstances of the past 18 months working through Tiger’s scandal, a new coach and with it a major swing change… I’m very disappointed to end our very successful partnership at this time.” Stevie went on 60 Minutes last year to say he never knew anything about the golf legend’s affair with Rachel Uchitel or other assorted VIP hostesses.
