Madam: I Supplied Women To Tiger Woods 12 Times

 
Hollywood madam Michelle Braun claims she supplied women for married 

pro golfer Tiger Woods on 12 different occasions.

Braun told TV's Inside Edition Woods usually requested multiple women and paid as much as $60,000 in one weekend and $250,000 during the course of a year.

"One girl, when I called her to go back, she said, 'I don't know if I can keep up with him … he can go for days,'" Braun recalled.

She also noted Woods routinely requested a specific type of girl.

"Petite, blonde, natural, not overly busty -- and girls that partied … in my industry, a girl that was open to doing drugs," Braun told Inside Edition.

I'm not at all surprised that Tiger Woods often used the services of high paid prostitutes for his so called "sex addiction," but holy - $60,000 for just one weekend?!  

Last year, Braun managed to cut a deal with federal agents and had every Hollywood lothario who had ever partook in her services (and those of her girls) sweating big-time bullets.  Her client roster was said to have allegedly included the likes of Mickey Rourke, Charlie Sheen, Jose Canseco, Courteney Love - and even a few Playboy Playmates, as well. 

Braun was arraigned in May of 2009 in Santa Ana, California, as part of an agreement to cooperate with all branches of law enforcement.

Braun, who is a mother of two, managed what some considered to be an impressive 15-year run, charging up to $500,000 for a date with one of her girls, however she was finally got caught in the net in October 2007, when an FBI agent posing as a client lured her into violating the Mann Act by transporting a woman from California to New York City.

It's been reported that actor Charlie Sheen, famous for his seeming addiction to brothels, gave Braun a $20,000 check for an night with four girls.  Also rumored was that Braun once turned down a threesome with Courteney Love and a boyfriend.

In 2008, the government alleged that Braun had managed to line her pocketbook with a hefty $8.5 million from her agencies in LA and Miami, however she forked over $325,425, paid a $30,000 fine and spent six months under house arrest.

Author Mark Ebner, who penned Six Degrees of Paris Hilton, once said of Braun: 

"The things she knows make Heidi Fleiss look like Mary Poppins.”

Shaq's Former Mistress Sues for Harassment

A woman who claims to a former mistress of Shaquille O'Neal, has sued the basketball star for harassment.  Vanessa Lopez, a model in Orlando, filed the lawsuit on Tuesday in Orlando, Florida.

Lopez claims that she and O'Neal began an intimate relationship about five years ago and that she was initially resistant because O'Neal was married, but he told her he and his wife has an "open relationship."

Lopez said in a news conference that things began to go downhill once she told O'Neal she thought she might be pregnant.  Lopez says she didn't like O'Neal's reaction, and told him to leave her alone. She claims O'Neal then began harassing her:

"I used to walk down the street not looking back over my shoulder. Now, I fear that someone is after me. At home I'm constantly looking outside to see if there's a strange car parked."

Attorney for Lopez, Gloria Allred, said that Lopez, who is two feet shorter than O'Neal and weighs less than 100 pounds, is determined to take the basket player on in court where size, money and power won't matter, and where the final score will be determined by the scales of justice and not by how many dunk shots O'Neal makes - or how many baskets he scores.

Lopez previously accused Orlando Magic star J.J. Redick of harassment following their breakup in 2007 and reportedly had problems with Denver Nuggets forward Kenyon Martin and Cleveland Cavaliers guard Delonte West.

I see a pattern here...

In 2006, West, who was with the Boston Celtics, called security on Lopez, saying she wouldn't leave his Orlando hotel room.  Police were called to the room, where Lopez accused West of making unwanted sexual advances toward her, according to the police report.  West acknowledged he had slept with Lopez in the past, but said he didn't hit on her that night.  Instead, West said Lopez was the one who made advances at him - but he rejected her because he had another woman coming over.

Police eventually removed Lopez from the hotel.

Lopez's problems with Kenyon Martin happened in 2007, when Martin's business manager called police, claiming Lopez charged hundreds of dollars on the basketball star's credit card without permission. 

O'Neal's wife, Shaunie, has filed for legal separation with intent to divorce. Their next hearing is set for March.

Tiger Woods: I Let My Family Down

Today, Tiger Woods offered up an apology of sorts to family, friends and fans - and admitted that perhaps he hasn't "been true to my values."  This of course, comes hot on the heels that one of the greatest men on the green is linked to yet another mistress, marketing manager for The Bank nightclub in Las Vegas, Kalika Moquin.

For those updating their score cards, Moquin makes the third woman to come out of the woodwork (no pun intended!) in so many days.  The other two are club promoter Rachel Uchitel, 34, and Los Angeles cocktail waitress Jaimee Grubbs.

Woods took to his web site:

"I have let my family down and I regret those transgressions with all of my heart. I have not been true to my values and the behavior my family deserves."

Of course, Woods didn't name names, but manned up to the fact that he's "far short of perfect," and would like a little privacy, please: 

"I am dealing with my behavior and personal failings behind closed doors with my family.  Those feelings should be shared by us alone."

Woods went on to insist that some reports of late are "utterly false and malicious," including reports of domestic violence between him and his wife of five years, Elin Nordegren.

Woods said he intends to strive to be a better person, as well as the husband and father his family deserves.

"For all of those who have supported me over the years, I offer my profound apology."

Blind Side Mom Hopes Film Inspires All

 

Leigh Anne Tuohy, whose family's story is the basis of the film, The Blind Side, says she hopes the Hollywood movie inspires people to make a difference.

Tuohy and her husband Sean took in homeless, poorly educated teen Michael Oher and, by offering their love and support as part of their family, helped the young athlete succeed in school and ultimately reach the NFL with the Baltimore Ravens.

The film version of their story stars Sandra Bullock and Tim McGraw as Leigh Anne and Sean, and Quinton Aaron as Michael. The film opened in theaters last weekend and earned more than $34 million at the box office.

Recently, Leigh Anne told reporters in LA:

"What I'd like people to take away from this is that Michael was basically homeless on the streets of Memphis and society had deemed him valueless...and you take a child in or an individual and you love them and you clothe them and you give them a home to live in and they feel secure and happy it can have a life-changing effect."

She went on to say that Oher is not the person he was when she and her family first met him:

"He's confident. He walks in a room and he commands an audience. He's successful. I know, obviously, I'm the proud mom, but he's done an amazing thing. How many Michael Ohers are walking on the street? You don't know that any kid or individual that you walk by, they could be the next teacher of the year or find the cure for cancer, and society has deemed them valueless. So, we need to do something about foster care and homeless kids in the eyes of America. There's a huge need for it. You don't have to go out and bring a child into your home, but you can do something. Everybody is capable of doing something, so whatever your something is, do it well. Make a difference."

Truly awesome and inspiring.

Tom Brady Covers Details

 

The September issue of DETAILS hits stands next week, and this issue features Tom Brady. The quarterback superstar talks about being married to Gisele, living life in front of the paparazzi, and having a child. 

On Modeling Being Harder Than Playing Football:

“When I’m out on the football field, I have so much confidence in what I’m doing. With [the modeling], I don’t know what I’m doing. I’m at the whim of the photographer and the crew.” 

 On Life and Having a Child out of Wedlock:

“That’s not how you envisioned your life, that’s not how you envisioned having children, but it happens. Life is not living in the suburbs with a white picket fence. That’s not life. Somehow our American culture has made it out that that’s what life needs to be—and that if it’s not that, it’s all screwed up. It’s not. You go through life and you try the best you can.”

On Being Set-Up on a Blind Date with Gisele:

“This friend told me he knew a girl version of me.”  Gisele chimes in:  “And he said to me he’d found a boy version of me.”
