Tiger Woods Cheated On Ex-Girlfriend Lindsey Vonn, The Real Reason They Split

What did she expect? That he would cheat on his wife and won't cheat on her? Duh! According to an Daily Mail report, sex addict Tiger Woods cheated on his ex-girlfriend, Lindsey Vonn. Report below.

When Tiger Woods and Lindsey Vonn split over a week ago, the Olympic skiier posted on Facebook the explanation that 'both lead incredibly hectic lives that force us to spend a majority of our time apart.'

Daily Mail Online can now exclusively reveal that during one of those 'times apart' Tiger cheated on Lindsey - with a 'faceless, nameless woman', a friend reveals.

'He had a relapse in the sex department,' a close friend reveals to Daily Mail Online. 'Lindsey found out about women again. Always while he's on the road. Just like when he was with Elin.'

'It was after Tiger was eliminated from the San Diego-based Farmer's Insurance Classic in February, somewhere near his old stomping grounds in Southern California, that Tiger had a one night stand, the friend divulged.

He withdrew from Farmer's. You have to understand, while it's not right, it's not really wrong either. Tiger isn't married. He doesn't really drink or do drugs. So what else does he have when he can't afford to lose again? He allowed to find some relief. 'Most men would drink over such losses. Tiger has sex over it. Usually with local hookers whom he pays exorbitant amounts to, probably so they will want repeat business and won't tell.'

Michelle Braun, a former Hollywood madame revealed that between 2006 and 2007 Tiger paid upwards of $40,000 for six 'pay-for-sex dates.' But this time he was spotted with the woman.

'When Tiger realized he was seen, he became concerned and eventually he decided to confess to Lindsey. Something he didn't do with Elin. He came clean and I give him credit for that. 'Yes, Tiger cheated again. But it wasn't with anyone special. He really wanted Lindsey to be the one. But he blew it again. He can't help himself. He's got an addiction. He relapsed,' says the friend.

'Knowing Tiger, he doesn't even see it as cheating because there's no romance or feeling there. It's just a stress reliever, like a high-ball or two after a bad day.'

The friend tells Daily Mail Online that despite pleas from peers and relatives to keep going to his self-mandated therapy sessions, Tiger stopped going completely - leading to the alleged 'one-time slip'.

But that 'one-time slip' was enough to send Vonn, 30, packing. In fact, she made sure to announce the mutual split right in time to be physically out of the country. She's tour in New Zealand, Chile and Europe before she returning to Vail, Colorado for training in few months.

Vonn, who won her 63rd World Cup race in January is collecting $22 million in endorsement deals and is gearing up to hit the Olympic slopes and promoting her new Lindsey Vonn Foundation to empower young girls.

'Lindsey found out about the cheating the easy way, if there is an easy way. She didn't check his texts. Tiger confessed. He took the opposite strategy he did with Elin and instead of hiding it, he admitted it before getting caught.

'He doesn't even see it as cheating. It's just stress relief. It's hard for him to see that he's bad. Maybe he's not. He's not married to Lindsey. But he also won't get her back. She's another strong woman like Elin who respects herself too much. 'Why would she think her Tiger would change its stripes? She knew what she was in for. She reads the papers. We all read about the blonde table full of women in New York.'

Media reports claimed Tiger was seen going into a Manhattan restaurant last December, only to flirt and eventually leave the with women.

'Lindsey should have known then that Tiger was getting ready to slip, if he'd hadn't already. But then came the Farmer's loss,' reveals the friend.

Cheating wasn't Lindsey's only problem with Tiger. 'She always flew in to be by his side, but he rarely flew to be by her side. A relationship goes both ways. Not just Tiger's way.

'She started to see how Tiger's really obsessed with himself, his game, making money, controlling everything around him. The girlfriend takes a back seat. Only golf is front and center.'

'This really started to bother her. She was turning into a golf wife, and she's not. She's an Olympian. Tiger loves her. I'm sure he wished she forgave him when they went to therapy.' Sources say that a few weeks ago, a fellow golf wife finally succeeded in convincing Lindsey to go with Tiger to therapy, at least once, despite her desire to cut and run. Lindsey reconsidered and ended up taking in one session with Tiger.

The friend reveals Lindsey refused go at first. She said it was his problem. But it was also affecting his game so he begged her. 'She worried for him. He was hitting bottom maybe, and she wanted to support him. It's how he kept Elin for those extra months. And he did it to Lindsey."

These close-up pictures of Beyonce and Rihanna at the MET gala is now a topic of discussion. They say Beyonce looks older than her age (33) with dark circles under her eyes, while 27 year old Rihanna looks flawless.

Well I doubt Beyonce even sleeps ,she is always working ...That may explain the look.

In its crusade against homosexuals, the Islamic State is now resorting to sting operations, using jihadists posing as gay men to coax out offenders and execute them. According to reports, a special unit of militia has been formed within ISIS to deal specifically with the eradication of homosexuals from Syria, Iraq and Libya.

One method employed is for militiamen of the Caliphate to send anonymous invitations for blind dates for men only; those who respond are summarily executed.

According to dissident groups working in the area, ISIS religious police have also begun pretending to be gay men in order to ferret others out, before arresting and executing them. The ISIS regime views sodomy as the most deplorable practice, one punishable by death.

The terrorist group has already published a series of graphic videos showing the murder of supposed gay men, who are often thrown from tall buildings and stoned to death. Some clips show large crowds gathered to watch the executions and pelt the men with stones.

Speaking during the unveiling of the Niger Delta Power Holding Company Limited Oke-Aro 330/132kV transmission substation in Lagos yesterday Friday May 15th, Vice President Namadi Sambo who was represented by the Minister of Power, Prof. Chinedu Nebo, said The Ikeja Electricity Distribution Company and Eko Electricity Distribution Company account for over 40% of power consumption in Nigeria.

He said this was understandable from the fact that Lagos, which used to be the country's capital remained Nigeria's commercial and industrial hub with a large concentration of industries in Lagos state and Ogun State. Oke-Aro is situated in a border line between Lagos and Ogun states.

"Prior to the advent of Oke-Aro substation, there were only three 330/132/33kV substations in Lagos. One of these three is Ikeja West 330/132/33kV substation which was the major marshalling point for all power plants that flow their generation into Lagos, and this development had thrown the state into a state of great congestion with limited space for safe expansion of capacity for increased flows into Lagos and environs.

"All the 330kV power lines from the Benin and Oshogbo 330kV hubs of the national grid, which were also serving as evacuation lines for NIPP new power plants at Omotosho as well as Olorunsogo, terminated there. Even 330kV evacuation lines for older major power plants such as Egbin in Lagos also terminated at Ikeja West."

National leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP yesterday urged the President- elect, General Muhammadu Buhari, Rtd to see himself as a father of the nation who should live like late South Africa President, Nelson Mandela and forgive killers and arsonists.

Speaking with Journalists in Abuja, PDP deputy National Chairman, Prince Uche Secondus who was responding to General Buhari's comment when some stakeholders and traditional rulers from Rivers state visited him Wednesday, said that as the President- elect, he should comment as a father on issues that may be brought before him, rather than take sides especially on issues awaiting adjudication and before a panel of inquiry or the judiciary.

According to PDP, Buhari needs to try to deal with such issues with passion of a father to all irrespective of party affiliation, adding that such utterances do not portray him as an elder statesman. Secondus said," the utterances of the President -elect when he received a delegation of some traditional rules from Rivers state do not portray him as a statesman. He is the president-elect and indeed the father of all. He should exercise caution and restraints in some issues, especially when such issues are still in court.

"The election tribunals in the country and even in Rivers state have just commenced sitting and unguarded statements could be seen as prejudici‎al and give negative signals. "The president-elect should emulate ‎the late President of South Africa, Nelson Mandela who assumed office as president of South Africa at such a critical time in the history of South Africa." The PDP Deputy National Chairman who noted that it was unfair for Buhari to make such claims and statements when the issues involved, including the integrity of the governorship election in the state was subject of election tribunal, said, "He is the president -elect and soon to be sworn in as the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and not the president of the APC."

Luxembourg Prime Minister Set To Wed His Gay Partner

Xavier Bettel, the Prime Minister of Luxembourg (pictured right), will wed his gay partner, Belgian architect, Gauthier Destenay (left) today May 15th at a very private ceremony in Luxembourg. This will make him the first European Union leader to enter into a same-sex marriage and the second world leader to enter into a same sex marriage after Iceland's prime minister Johanna Sigurdardottir, who married her writer partner in 2010. Bettel has been in a partnership with his partner since March 2010 and got engaged in August 2014.

Bettel who became Prime Minister in December 2013, told Belgium's RTBF public television that he was getting married because he wants to accept his sexuality and avoid been unhappy all his life.

"I could have hidden it or repressed it and been unhappy my whole life. I could have had relations with someone of the other sex while having homosexual relations in secret. But I told myself that if you want to be a politician be honest in politics, you have to be honest with yourself and to accept that you are who you are."

The low-key ceremony at the town hall in Luxembourg is being deliberately kept out off the media spotlight and will be followed by weekend-long private celebrations for around 500 guests.

Chuka Umunna Withdraws From Labour Leadership Race In The UK

Shadow business secretary Chuka Umunna has withdrawn from the Labour party leadership contest. Mr. Umunna, 36, had been the second candidate to declare his intention to stand, via a post on his Facebook page. But the MP said in a statement that he was not comfortable with the level of pressure and scrutiny that came with being a leadership candidate.

BBC correspondent Eleanor Garnier said it was a "huge shock" as Mr. Umunna had been seen as one of the frontrunners.

She added that she understood there was no scandal that lay behind his decision to step aside. Rather, Mr. Umunna felt that due to the "sheer pressure" of the contest it was not the right time for him - or his family - to put himself forward.

'Further reflection'

A rising star of the party, Mr. Umunna was first elected to Parliament in 2010 before joining the shadow cabinet. He confirmed his candidacy for the Labour leadership on 12 May, saying the party under Ed Miliband had failed to appeal to enough voters in England.

But in a statement on Friday he announced his intention to withdraw from the race.

A former House of Representative member and Senator-elect, Dino Melaye, has accused President, Goodluck Jonathan, of running the most corrupt government in the history of Nigeria. In an interview with Premium Times, Mr. Melaye, emphasised that the government of Mr. Jonathan massively promoted corruption.

"Jonathan is the promoter of corruption. I am telling you that the Government of Goodluck Ebele Azikiwe Jonathan is the most corrupt in Nigerian history but (who) we have as president-elect of this country today (Muhammadu Buhari); the man I see as the nemesis of corruption."

About campaigning against corruption when he resumes office, Melaye said;

"Change! I am an advocate of anti-corruption and for me if I enter office, I am going to do it more this time around. More importantly, now that we have a government that is going to have zero tolerance for corruption, we must as legislators carry out our functions from any form of sacrifice".

We think that she does look different here but lovely. What do you think?

The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency(NDLEA)at the international wing of the Nnamdi Azikiwe Airport (NAA),Abuja, has arrested a 39-year-old suspected drug trafficker, Celestine Ikechukwu Okonkwo, for excreting 70 wraps of cocaine weighing 1.326kg shortly on arrival from Brazil.

NDLEA Commander at Abuja Airport, Mr. Hamisu Lawan, who disclosed this yesterday, said that the suspect tested positive for cocaine ingestion. According to Hamisu, "the suspect tested positive to drug ingestion while returning from Sao Paulo, Brazil. He later excreted 70 wraps of cocaine weighing 1.326kg."

Narrating his ordeal in the hands of drug barons, who sponsored his trip to Brazil under the guise of white collar job, the suspect who sells used clothes at Idumota market, said that he was promised mouth-watering job opportunities here in Nigeria.

He however said that he was made to suffer untold hardship before being used in smuggling cocaine. Confessing, Celestine said that he was a happy man until the drug barons approached him with a promise of better job abroad.

According to him, "I was in my shop at Idumota market where I sell used clothes. I will never forget the day a young man came to my shop to buy shirt. He told me he is from Anambra and that he lives in Brazil. He also promised to help me with a good job opportunity over there. Honestly, I was excited and felt it was answer to my age long prayer. He collected my phone number and left. This was how it all started."

Narrating his ordeal further, he stated that after three months, the man whose identity he did not mention called him that he was back to Nigeria.

In his words, "he prepared my international passport and also secured a visa for me. Then he told me to get set to travel anytime. Few weeks later, he brought my ticket and I travelled to Brazil in January 2015. He gave me the name of the hotel where I will stay pending when he will get me a job. I was eventually abandoned to suffer. When I exhausted my money, I began to sleep in a church. I also began to work for a Nigerian woman who owns a restaurant in order not to starve to death".

The suspect also claimed that drug trafficking was not originally discussed with him before he left Nigeria.

According to him, "Nobody discussed drug trafficking with me while in Nigeria. It was after I had lived in the church for some months that my sponsor located me in Sau Paulo. I was told that there is no free lunch in Brazil and that I have suffered and experienced difficult life in Brazil. This was the point they introduced drug trafficking as the only way out. They said that was what people do to make money. It took me about seven hours to swallow 70 wraps of cocaine. I was inexperienced because it was my first time. They promised to pay me N400,000 when I get to Nigeria."

Tonto Dikeh Steps Out Looking Lovely In White And Pink

The actress stepped out for a TV interview yesterday looking lovely in white and pink.

General Godefroid Niyombare:

Loyalist troops in Burundi early on Friday detained at least three leaders of a failed coup against President Pierre Nkurunziza, with an AFP reporter hearing the arrest by telephone.

The coup leaders' spokesman, Venon Ndabaneze, was speaking to AFP confirming that the putschists had decided to surrender when loyalist troops arrested him, deputy coup leader Cyrille Ndayirukiye and another senior figure among the mutineers.

AFP remained on the line as the leaders were detained.

The leader of the coup attempt, former intelligence chief General Godefroid Niyombare, also said he was surrendering. "We have decided to surrender," coup leader General Godefroid Niyombare also said by telephone, adding that troops loyal to the president were approaching him.

"I hope they won't kill us," he added. It was unclear what happened to him.

A German citizen who is a chemist and lives in Hawaii was sentenced on Thursday to 3 years of probation for smuggling oil that's commonly used to make ecstasy.

Wolfgang Hans Langlois put safrole oil in wine bottles hidden in household items he shipped from Germany to Kauai, Honolulu last year. Customs agents intercepted the shipment and found the oil, which is legal but requires special permission to import.

Langlois pleaded guilty to smuggling but maintains the oil was not for ecstasy but for a legal substance he wanted to make for his wife, who has cancer

The shipment caught the attention of agents because Langlois' name was on a watch list for people suspected of smuggling ecstasy to Hawaii from South America in vitamin and face cream jars in 2008, but Langlois was never charged in that case.

In August 2014, when agents in Los Angeles intercepted the shipment from Germany, they discovered 10 wine bottles containing an "unknown yellow liquid stored inside of a wooden nightstand in a suspicious manner," according to an affidavit by a Homeland Security Investigations special agent. Tests revealed the liquid was safrole oil, used to manufacture MDMA, also known ecstasy or molly.

Defense attorney William Harrison said Thursday his client is a chemist and was not trying to make ecstasy. Instead, Langlois wanted to use the oil to experiment with creating a legal, non-psychedelic, naturopathic medication to help his wife cope with breast cancer, Harrison said.

"They're both very into organic practices ... they grow their own food," Harrison said.

The oil was removed from the shipment and replaced with fake oil. Agents obtained a warrant to use a tracking device and then allowed the shipment to continue to Lihue, Kauai, the affidavit said.

On Sept. 19, Langlois arrived at a pier to pick up the shipment, and agents followed him as he drove home. "Agents conducting surveillance noticed that the defendant was taking actions that appeared to be counter-surveillance techniques, such as stopping on the side of the main road without any apparent reason and by making turns while increasing and decreasing his speed," Eventually, the defendant proceeded to his residence."

During a search of Langlois' property, agents found what appeared to be a chemical laboratory, the affidavit said. The 7,500 milliliters of oil found could have produced 10,000 to 70,000 ecstasy pills, said Assistant U.S. Attorney Tony Roberts.

Langlois pleaded guilty in January. In his plea agreement, he admitted he flew from Hawaii to Germany, where he obtained the oil and intended to import it to the United States without telling customs officials.

He apologized in court, saying he's learned a lesson.
