Tiger is my Daddy claim two more illegitimate cubs

Friday, July 2nd, 2010

Just when the scandal surrounding Tiger Woods’s extra-marital affairs seemed to have died down, two tiny skeletons have emerged from the closet.

The world’s best golfer in modern history, still mired in claims that he cheated on wife Elin Nordegren with as many as 14 different women, is now facing new allegations that he has fathered at least two illegitimate children. If that wasn’t enough, still another apparently secret lover has come forward with claims of undeniable evidence that Woods was the father of her new baby.

Grazia Magazine reports that the news is shattering for Tiger, as just when he thinks the furore over his sex life has been quelled, yet another alleged victim emerges from the woodwork. The unidentified source says Tiger’s once untouchable reputation continues to take a battering, and that Elin is faces humiliation and devastation. She added that while the former world Number 1 can sign up for all the sex-addiction treatment he likes, nothing will take away the fact that there may be several tiny tiger cubs crawling around.

Grazia reports that one of the latest claimants in Theresa Rogers, 48, who has apparently told her friends that her six-year-old child’s father is Woods, with the magazine reporting that Rogers had employed the services of the celebrity lawyer Gloria Allred to oversee a hush money deal with the wayward golfer thought to be worth up to two million pounds. Former prostitute Devon James has also stated that her son, Austin T, was fathered by Tiger back in 2001, the same year he met the stunning Swede wife Elin.

High heels exposing children to sexuality

Monday, June 14th, 2010

The trend of retailers selling high-heels to young girls has parenting groups concerned that children are being sexualised prematurely.

The trend, which can be traced back to the three-year-old daughter of Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise – Suri – has seen high street shops target the new audience, after Suri has been photographed regularly sporting sparkled heels. Next, GapKids and Asda are all among the major retailers to offer heels for tots.

However, some parent’s groups have declared that some of the footwear on sale was more appropriate for a lap-dancing setting rather than the kindergarten, leading them to claim that such items prematurely sexualise young children. Retailers are being encouraged to take a closer look at what they are offering and ask themselves – is it really appropriate?

Tesco has also come under fire for selling a school shoe with a two-inch heel, which can be detrimental to the growth of a young child whose feet are still developing. While it is accepted than children mimic adults, the fear is that they may be growing up too fast too soon, according to the group mumsnet, which has launched a campaign – Let Girls Be Girls – to get retailers to sign a new code of practice agreeing not to prematurely sexualise young kids.

Fellow parenting group Netmums also suggested that putting a three-year-old into heels is a recipe for disaster, with young girls likely to topple over and cause themselves an injury. Podiatrists have roundly denounced the practice of children in heels, claiming that anything over 2cm may affect growth and development.
