Team Edward or Team Jacob?

It’s a question that has divided movie fans, and long-time friends, for months on end.

On this weekend’s new edition of Saturday Night Live, Taylor Lautner got into the debate… but you’ll never guess the side he took.

Okay, maybe you will, based on our headline and this drawn-out tease. Still, it’s worth watching the video below in order to see a very different side of this Twilight Saga star.

Cori Rist, woman #5 or #6 (who even knows anymore) on the long-ass list of Tiger Woods mistresses, is breaking her silence about her fling with the golfer.

On the This day show Monday, she confirmed that she met Woods at a New York club in 2006 when his trainer invited Cori and friends to join Tiger for a drink.

“He wasn’t afraid to show his affectionate side in front of everybody that was there,” said Rist. “He was very affectionate, and he led me by the hand.”

“Then we just kind of disappeared, and that was the begin.”

While she said she knew he was married (unlike Jaimee Grubbs‘ BS story), Rist said Tiger Woods always told her his marriage to Elin Nordegren was rocky.

“He wasn’t happy at home with his wife,” said Rist, a single mother. “He would stay because she was pregnant, and they were anticipating their first child.”

“Because of his reputation and image, he had to uphold that.”

Cori Rist describes her “secret life” with Tiger Woods.

Rist, who’s speaking out to make money off of her 15 minutes of fame refute “false gossip” about her, thought she was the only “other woman” in Woods’ life.

But she recalled how in the middle of the night, he would wake up and begin texting. Cori Rist stated she now believes he was communicating with other women.

Still, she said Woods - who used a group of associates and friends to “plan” his extramarital affairs - kept pursing her until she ultimately turned him down.

“We had an argument over how I don’t make enough time for him, and that was it,” she said, adding that she feels sorry for Elin, Tiger’s scorned spouse.

“I am just sorry for her pain. I hate that I’m a part of it,” she said. “I have to take responsibility … to look my son in the face and explain all this.”

Whether he’s debating whether Miley is a skank or comparing Michael Jackson to O.J., Bill O’Reilly is never one to shy away from hot-button, pop-cultural topics.

This time, the Fox news host is irate at Law & Order: SVU and its producer Dick Wolf after what he felt was a defamatory reference about him on the NBC drama.

This week’s episode involved an anti-immigration activist who set out to kill kids of illegal immigrants. A character named Randall Carver, played by John Larroquette, defended the activist’s actions to Fin, the detective played by Ice-T.

Larroquette’s character says, “Limbaugh, Beck, O’Reilly … are like a cancer spreading ignorance and hate. They’ve convinced folks immigrants are the problem, not corporations that fail to pay a living wage or a broken health care system.”

Bill slammed the “defamatory and outrageous” scene and stated Wolf as a “coward” and “liar.” He insisted (via a montage of clips) that’s problem isn’t with illegal immigrants themselves, but with the government doing tiny to control immigration.

He also took an irrelevant, but funny shot at NBC’s ratings.

Check out the clip and see what you think …

Whose side are you on?

Rachel Uchitel, the first mistress of golfer Tiger Woods, or at least the first one we came to know about, might be the first to get naked in Playboy as well.

Extra reports that Rachel is currently in negotiations with Playboy to pose for the men’s magazine, and that the NYC club hostess “wants a lot of money.”

No surprise there.

Uchitel was outraged after being called a hooker on The View, but clearly has no issues with posing nude other than whether she’ll be getting paid enough.

Representatives for Playboy refused to comment on the rumors, and last week, Hugh Hefner himself seemed hesitant based to touch the Tiger scandal.

However, women in sex scandals are often in the publication’s wheelhouse. In the past, Playboy did a spread on Paula Jones, among other examples.

Cough it up and make it happen, Hugh!

Tiger Woods saw Rachel Uchitel nude. Will the rest of us?

It seems like ages ago that Rachel Uchitel was linked to Woods after Ashley Samson ratted them out to the National Enquirer, but it was just two weeks ago.

Since then, many others have come forward with tales of being tagged by Tiger, much to Rachel’s dismay. She’s stated to be getting screened for STDs.

He may have gotten around like a prostitute (he did several), but Tiger Woods clearly had feelings for Rachel, as his emotionally vulnerable emails proved.

If he was so upset about her past flings with stars like David Boreanaz, we don’t envision he’ll enjoy her posing in Playboy for the entire world to see.

Especially since we won’t be getting any at home from Elin.

Jenny Sanford, the estranged wife of South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford, announced she’s filing for divorce following his now-infamous affair this summer.

Mark Sanford admitted an extramarital affair with Maria Belen Chapur, an Argentinian woman, after flying down to see her in secret (he thought) in June.

In August, Jenny Sanford moved out, but stated she still hoped to reconcile with her husband, with whom she has four sons. But those efforts were in vain.

“As so many of us know, the dissolution of any marriage is a sad and painful process. It is also a very personal and private one,” she said in a statement.

“Because Mark and I are public figures, we have had less privacy with which to deal with our difficulties than other couples. I am now filing for divorce.”

Jenny Sanford couldn’t get past her husband’s cheating and lying.

“This came after many unsuccessful efforts at reconciliation, yet I am still dedicated to keeping the process that lies ahead peaceful for our family.”

Once considered a potential GOP presidential contender for 2012, Mark Sanford refused to comment on Jenny’s divorce filing earlier this morning.

Mark disappeared for several days in June, saying he was hiking on the Appalachian Trail. It turned out he flew to Argentina to be with his lover.

His tearful confession when the tryst with Maria Belen Chapur became known shattered his political career and nearly led to his impeachment.

If they couldn’t make it work with after one affair, that doesn’t bode well for Tiger Woods saving his marriage after racking up a list of mistresses.

They’ve helped make The Real Housewives of Atlanta a hit for Bravo, but reports state Kim Zolciak and NeNe Leakes may not be invited back for a new season.

Producers are looking to replace the busty, loud-mouthed and constantly feuding stars, as “things with NeNe and Kim have been intense” on and off the set.

The frenemies are reportedly demanding larger paychecks from Bravo for the upcoming season and producers are “fed up with their diva-esque requests.”

A source states that Bravo realizes the dangers of slicing Kim and NeNe loose, but “feels it is about the franchise as a whole and won’t let one person stop it.”

They’re serious enough that they’re “taking meetings with notable, wealthy Atlanta women” about joining the show in Kim Zolciak and NeNe Leakes’ place.

While Bravo had no comment on the reported cast shakeup, another source close to the matter stated only that “no decisions on Season 3 have been made.”

Are you upset NeNe Leakes and Kim Zolciak might get the axe?

Looks like Jamie Jungers and Holly Sampson, numbers four and seven, respectively, on the ever-growing Tiger Woods mistress list, are a couple of hos.

No, seriously. They are high-end escorts.

Here’s the deal: One of the biggest madams in the U.S., Michelle Braun, pleaded guilty to money laundering and sending a prostitute over say lines.

Among her “employees” as high-end escorts were Holly Sampson and Jamie Jungers, and she (and later TMZ) can supply the tax forms to prove this.

Michelle Braun used Global Travel Network, or GTN, as a front to pay her escorts, which include the two aforementioned blondes linked to Tiger Woods.

Jamie Jungers: Part-time lingerie model, part-time escort.

While Jamie Jungers and Holly Sampson, based in Las Vegas, allegedly received payment from GTN, the documents don’t show that Tiger paid GTN anything.

Nor should we assume he did. Guy clearly didn’t need to!

The madam says both they compensation for “introductions” to men. One wonders if that’s how Holly got Tiger’s bachelor celebration a gig (she nailed him there).

Jamie, meanwhile, is set to “tell all” on Today tomorrow. Wonder if she’ll be asked about what she charged by the hour to “escort” men. Somehow we doubt it.

So many Tiger Woods mistresses, so many unanswered questions. Rachel Uchitel isn’t gonna like this, though. Superior get crackin’ on those STD screenings.

We know Holly Sampson did Tiger Woods. But did she get paid to?

Alexa Ray Joel is bouncing back beautifully after her brief hospital stay this weekend, thanks to the help of her parents Billy Joel and Christie Brinkley.

The 23-year-old called 911 Saturday after an apparent drug overdose in which she took eight Traumeel pills, a medication, and had trouble breathing.

“She has the most attentive parents,” says a family friend of Alexa Ray.

“She is very close to Billy, and Alexa and her mom are really best friends.”

“They’re focused on making sure she is going to be alright.”

Alexa Ray Joel was said to be distraught over a boyfriend.

“[Christie Brinkley] rushed to her daughter’s side,” states a friend. “She was worried sick, showered her with affection and told she would support her always.”

Since the incident, triggered by her rocky relationship with ex-boyfriend Jimmy Riot, Christine and Billy have made sure their only child knows people care.

“Alexa is the sweetest girl. She is one of the dearest souls on Earth,” says the friend. “She’s an artist and like all artists, she’s always very passionate.”

“Growing up is hard enough, but under a microscope it’s unbelievably difficult … she will recover from this and be horrified it became such a spectacle.”
