in the 22 years chrisian lacroix has been in business, according to the guardian newspaper, the designer has never turned a profit.

amanda knox has been sentenced to 26 years in prison for the murder of the british university student meredith kerrcher. rafaele sollectio, her italian boyfriend has been sentenced to 25 years. it’s quite impressive that the italian authorities did not buy into the white girl alibi, ‘the black guy did it’ that amanda knox gave when she was initially questioned, which has worked for centuries in the united states. it was later found that the man knox fingered, the owner of the bar where she worked had an airtight alibi himself which lead him to filing a slander chrage.

apparently this is one of the proposals being tossed out u.s. government. if the u.s. government is looking for ways to pull itself out of debt, offer rupert murdoch tax exempt status on his properties, for instance, really isn’t necessarily the way forward.

what can tiger woods do to salvage his career. well, considering that no level of controversy could diminish his talent, we’re talking about all those lucrative endorsements.

from what’s flying around the internet, apparently/allegedly tiger woods’ wife, the swedish former babysitter elin nordegren, went ghetto on him and went after him with a golf club.

the first round of reports released from news outlets was that tiger’s wife had smashed out the windows on his ford escalade to get him out following an accident. which sounded sort of noble. but people then you start to wonder how a small woman like that could drag someone tiger’s size out of a car all by herself. it is possilbe. but why go through the back windon and not the window on the passenger side?

according to abc news, an eyewitness who took photos at the scene of the crash there were 2 golf irons in the street and both backseat windows were broken.

photos on WFTV show tiger’s front passenger tire lodged in a tree with a golf cart and blanket right nearby.

so what advice would you give tiger woods? well, from a p.r. perspective this story could spin any old way. if this is what is really happening, it’s good that somebody on his team is leaking information to gossip sites about his wife having whooped him over the head, if that’s what actually happened. because otherwise the drunk driving/drug taking rumours would immediately start which in the long run would have a far damaging affect on his endorsements than a man who can benchpress 300 pounds (apx 150 kg) being beat up with a 9 iron by a former babysitter.

now tiger and his people better make sure he talks with the police today, otherwise it could look like he is guilty of something and in hiding. if he is trying to save his wife, we suggest he do an obama and throw her under the bus.

yes she just might walk away with millions, but certainly tiger has a prenuptual agreement. and since elin was merely a glorified nanny when he met her, the odds are that she’ll run through that cash in no times. no matter how many zeros are attached to it.

since tiger has declared himself a cabalasian (sp?) he can’t contact oprah or reach out to reverend al. he’ll have to contact the cabalasian community and try to get them behind him so he can repair his image that is fraying by the minute.

and that new image is soon to become: legendary golf star beat up by petite blond swedish woman welding a 9 iron.

a swiss court has decided that roman polanski can post a 4.5M bail. it’s not clear if that quote is in swiss francs, euros or dollars. money talks and the country of bankers responds. but apparently a higher court is appealing this and hopes to block this. the man, whose spent the past 30 years on the lam being tortured by living in a penthouse apartment in paris, forced to buy a chalet in paris and forced to accept money for directing such horrendous films such as ‘frantic,’ probably wouldn’t want to spend his few remaining years in prison.
