Tiger Woods Shuts Down Online Comments

Everyone has had something to say about the Tiger Woods scandal and go figure, most of it is less than complimentary. Many former fans have taken to Tiger’s website the past couple of weeks and berated and belittled the golf pro for his extramarital affairs, and Tiger decided that he’s had enough of that. From E! Online:

Following Woods’ final blog entry announcing his indefinite departure from the sport, the option to leave remarks on blog posts appears to have been removed from the site entirely, leaving only the “Dear Tiger” page, in which fans are encouraged to send the star a question—hecklers need not apply.

While there were definitely some Tiger supporters up in those comments, the vast majority from recent weeks was haters. It makes sense for PR reasons to take it down, but the idea that Tiger had “had it up to here” with his Internet haters? Pretty priceless. Can you imagine someone like Lindsay Lohan or anyone who is used to getting shit-talked on a regular basis making such a move?

In my experience, shutting off people’s ability to vent about you only makes them vent more. If you’re a public figure, you have to be prepared to take the good with the bad, especially when you’ve been quite bad yourself.

Ashton Kutcher Says Bye to Brittany

Ashton Kutcher just updated his Twitter with a note about his ex-love and Just Married co-star, Brittany Murphy. The two dated around the time they made the movie and at what seemed to be the peak of both of their careers.

Solange Knowles on Twitter

Beyonce’s sister Solange doesn’t seem to be taking the news particularly well herself, but is unable to to muster up much more than the fact that she’s shocked.

Perez Hilton

And some loser with a face that resembles a honey ham decides to take this moment to warn Lindsay Lohan that if she doesn’t clean up, she’ll be six feet under, too.

Sara Gilbert

However, Sara Gilbert aka Darlene from Roseanne, chimed in with a kind word.

James Franco hosted Saturday Night Live last night, and while I didn’t see the whole episode yet (I heard it was not terrible, but who the hell is home at 11:30 on Saturday?) his monologue was all I needed to confirm what I suspected: I still want to marry James Franco.

In his opening bit, James addresses his recent role on General Hospital (they show a pretty hilarious five second clip) and reveals how he makes all of his career decisions. Turns out that for 2k10, he has some pretty major plans, including another Spiderman movie and a role as a dead body on Law and Order.

Kevin Jonas Married

The Jonas Brothers are famous for wearing “promise rings” to symbolize the promise that they made to themselves/their parents/Jesus to remain virgins until marriage. Well, Kevin Jonas got married yesterday to long time girlfriend, Danielle Deleasa and upgraded that promise ring to a wedding ring. My money’s on the fact that he totally did it with his new wife last night, and it was possibly the first time ever. Damn. I don’t remember a rumored virgin getting married since Jessica Simpson or that freak Duggar kid. I can’t wait for all the awesome post-virginity losing interviews where everyone’s all “Soooooooo… how was it!?!?” and he answers all like, “It was incredible.” God, that’s so embarrassing. I can’t wait.

The wedding was obviously a huge fancy schmancy big deal. From E! Online:

The former hairdresser from New Jersey donned a Vera Wang gown and clutched an impressive bouquet by Pedestal Florists as she walked down the aisle at the French château-themed space.

The chef for the big occassion tells E! News he prepared quite the feast for the 400 guests.

“We’re having vegetarian options in addition to the main course,” he says. “There will be stir-fried Asian vegetables, Italian rice, risotto, pasta and a full vegetarian station.”

E! Also points out that Kevin’s ex-lady friend Demi Lovato showed up to watch her former man exchange vows. Brave! I’ve always liked that Demi Lovato. Other VIPs at the event have not been announced yet, but I’m sure the other JoBro cast-offs, Miley Cyrus and Taylor Swift, were not as gracious as Demi.

Brittany Murphy

It’s being reported that Brittany Murphy, star of Clueless, 8 Mile, Don’t Say a Word and a bunch of really bad movies, died of cardiac arrest early this morning. Her husband Simon Monjack called 911 around 8 AM and after being rushed to the hospital, she was pronounced dead on arrival. More details should be surfacing soon.

We (the entire world, not just EvilBeet) often joke about the decline of Brittany Murphy’s career, weight, and sanity, but I do find this to be sad news. It was widely rumored that Brittany suffered from drug addiction (people have said everything from cocaine to meth) and the fact that she’s dying of a heart attack at the young age of 32 is another sure sign that she was taking something not right for her. Even though she kind of lost her mind and stopped making good movies, she was Tai in one of the greatest movies ever made, Clueless. For that, I think we all need to take a moment of silence.

UPDATE: Two more things….

From TMZ:

Sources tell TMZ Brittany Murphy’s mom discovered her unconscious in the shower. We’re told when paramedics arrived, they quickly determined Murphy was in full cardiac arrest and immediately administered CPR. They continued CPR in route to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center — several miles away — and Murphy was unresponsive. She was pronounced dead at the hospital.

Also, a friend just passed along this clip of Brittany performing with the Pussycat Dolls in 2007. I forgot that she had a fantastic singing voice.

Amy Winehouse and Blake Fielder-Civil

“We’re back together, and we’re engaged. Amy and I have talked about getting married again and starting a family – we both definitely want kids.”

-Blake Fielder-Civil, the junkie that Amy Winehouse just divorced, confirming to The Sun that he and the singer are back on.

This is gross and depressing. Amy Winehouse is mega-talented and it seemed like she might be able to detox and get back on top for a minute there. Hopefully Blake F-C was just high or lying. I don’t think I’d be able to handle watching the rapid deterioration of the two of them again.
