Tiger Woods has still had the feat to be the greatest


Tiger Woods has proved that he still has the quality to show how great he is. He is a man with a mission Friday as he birdied four holes and in the process broke 70 for the first time in 10 rounds to make the cut at the $9.5 million US PGA Players Championship. Woods would have missed the cut in back-to-back events for the first time in his professional career if he had failed to reach the weekend at the TPC at Sawgrass.

In addition to Woods, who fired a four-under par 68, seventy-one other players made the cut, including last week’s winner Rickie Fowler, who shot a second-round 69 as part of Woods’ group and is at 3 under for the tournament. Fowler had been 0-for-2 at The Players.

Woods, in a tie for 30th, trails a trio of leaders by six shots —Zach Johnson, Matt Kuchar and KevinNa.

“I probably could have gotten one or two more out of (the round),” USA Today quotes Woods as saying. “But I really played well today. I was just very consistent, and nothing spectacular, just real solid golf. … I was trying to just keep plugging along. I ended up making four in a row there. And then at 12 I had just a little flip sand wedge in there and make par, and I thought I stuffed it there at 13. It was a foot or two from being a kick-in. It would have been a really nice stretch there.

“I was trying to shoot my number (66) today, and I thought that would put me four or five back. I figured that would have been a good way to go into the weekend, being probably four or five back. It would have put me four back.

While Woods’ burst of birdies help ensure his spot at TPC Sawgrass, Rory McIlroy didn’t fare as well.

The San Francisco Chronicle reports that the U.S. Open champion, who only last week lost in a three-way playoff at Quail Hollow, opened his second round with a birdie — and then didn’t make another one and instead came come with five bogeys.

He shot 76 and missed the cut for the first time in more than a year, though it wasn’t unusual at TPC Sawgrass. In three appearances at the Players Championship, McIlroy has never broken par or made the cut.

“Hopefully, I’m coming back here for another 20 years,” McIlroy, just 23-years-old, said. “If I don’t figure it out on my 20th, there’s something wrong.”

Christina Aguilera Hate Tony Lucca! a question raised in "The Voice"


Christina Aguilera

The final four contestants of the NBC singing contest series "The Voice" took to the stage on Monday a day before the season 2 finale, with what has become expected drama from dominant coaches Christina Aguilera and Adam Levine.

Monday's pre-finale episode saw the two butt heads once again with regard to Levine's contestant, Tony Lucca. The Michigan native, whose history of appearing on "The All New Mickey Mouse Club" with Aguilera when they were younger has been a dominant storyline on "The Voice," has drawn mostly lukewarm and negative critiques from Aguilera.

The show’s meanest coach has been inexplicably hating on the fan-favorite finalist since day one, and her wrath came out so strongly May 7 that Adam Levine reportedly had to step in and shut her down!


Christina was said to be offended by Tony’s decision to sing Jay-Z‘s “99 Problems,” leading to a pre-show clash with Adam, who nobly stepped up to bat for his artist. Adam publicly squashed the feud by baring a “Team Xtina” shirt during the live show, but Christina wasn’t ready to make nice as easily.

“Your beautiful wife and your daughter and family are here tonight, and I just thought the lyrical connotation was a little derogatory towards women,” she told Tony after his performance, though she did acknowledge he “sounded great.” Christina was also nowhere to be seen when Adam and Tony performed their duet.

I’m sorry, but since when is Christina a shining beacon of female empowerment? And what exactly would she choose as an anthem for her cause? “Dirrty”? Because I’m pretty sure that little chart topper — and its accompanying music video, rife with ass-less chaps — represented women in the worst light possible.

And this was merely the latest in a long line of disses Christina served to Tony throughout the season. It began when she didn’t recognize him during his audition, despite starring alongside him in The Mickey Mouse Club for two years in the ’90s, the continued as she delivered harsh, irrational critiques of his performances.
“I hope this is really a contest about the voice,” Christina said one week. “I think there are just better voices on the show, rather than a celebrity sway kind of thing.” She’s also accused Tony of being a one-note performer.

“All of the other coaches have been pretty respectful about each other’s choices, but now it seems like she’s just flat-out trying to get me out of here,” Tony told People earlier this month.

I don’t know what Christina’s problem is, but it’s clear she’s not on Team Tony. I know it, the viewers know it, and worst of all, Tony knows it. But will her endless tirade against her fellow Mouseketeer cost him the competition? We’ll find out tonight when The Voice crowns the winner of season two!

Newly wed Carrie Underwood thinks a baby would mess things up right now


Grammy-winning Country music icon Carrie Underwood has told US Weekly that she and her husband of 21 months Mike Fisher aren’t quite ready to start a family because it would interfere with their already busy lives.

Carrie and her husband Fisher
She has  just released her new album Blown Away and superbusy with his work. Her husband who is a hockey player is also super busy competing in the Western Conference semifinals with his team, the Nashville Predators, which takes on the Phoenix Coyotes on Friday, May 4.

“We’re good. I’m super busy and he is super busy. We are still newlyweds,” Underwood, 29, explained to Us Weekly Magazine. “I honestly think that if we brought a kid into it would mess things up right now! We’re good right now!”

Though the couple, who wed in July 2010, spend long periods of time apart because of their jobs — Fisher is a professional hockey player for the Nashville Predators; Underwood is currently on tour to promote her new album, Blown Away   — Carrie says they take advantage of technology to shorten the gap when they are apart.

“We talk on the phone quite a bit, but we are not the kind of people who need to talk to each other every second of the day. We will text sweet little ‘I love yous.’ He will send me pictures of (my dogs) on a daily basis and makes sure that I know they are okay.”

Besides gushing about her husband and dishing on her plans to hold off on children, Underwood, who won season 4 of “American Idol,” also recently returned to the show’s stage to perform a single off her new album, Blown Away.

She performed the record’s title track on Thursday’s episode of “American Idol,” the same night contestant Skylar Laine, another country singer, was eliminated from the competition. After the the show, Underwood told Hollywoodlife.com it felt good to be back on the American Idol stage.

“It’s really nice that they let me come back, I mean it’s such an amazing show and for me to actually be a part of it is very cool and very special to me,” Carrie said.
