Weirder than the crash is the cash Elin Woods is negotiating for.
or is it T.W.'s idea?


Elin and Tiger Woods had a prenuptial agreement, as expected. The couple is undergoing marital counseling, as you'd also expect. And now The Daily Beast is reporting that Elin Woods is renegotiating that prenup to get an immediate $5 million payout from her husband and as much as $55 million more to stay with him for two more years.

The initial prenup was worth $20 million after 10 years of marriage. However, the Chicago Sun-Times' Bill Zwecker has reported that Elin Woods will receive an immediate payment "into an account she alone controls," and that the 10-year timeframe -- which began when they married in 2004 -- has been shortened and the value increased "substantially."

But apparently there's also a behavioral component to all this: Elin Woods must "be a dutiful wife in showing up with him at social events and in public as if they were still the perfect couple, and sign a nondisclosure form that will prevent her from ever telling her story."

It's important to note that to date, there's no concrete evidence that Elin Woods has ever been anything but the perfectly dutiful golf wife. I'm sure the Woodses would like nothing more than to portray domestic calm to the world, and Elin Woods now apparently has several million more reasons to do just that.

With 300 MILLION - why would she ever need to sell her story?

Meanwhile more weird news from the Woods household

Tiger Woods' mother-in-law was rushed early this morning from the golfer's home to the same Florida hospital where he was taken after a car accident two weeks ago, according to an official at Health Central Hospital in Ocoee. Barbro Holmberg, 57, a Swedish politician, was taken to the hospital by paramedics called to the golfer's Windermere home shortly after 2:36 a.m. Holmberg complained of stomach pains, and her condition is not life-threatening, hospital spokesman Dan Yates said.

"She's in a wing that helps protect her privacy," he said, adding that she's in stable condition.

If my wife were worth 300 million, she could cheat all she wanted! Just leave that checkbook on the credenza on your way out, hon!

That happens about every weekend, the incident, not the arrest. The horse knows the way home, but can't read a stop sign.

Teenage girl dug up to be 'corpse bride'

Five people have been arrested in China for digging up the corpse of a young woman to be a "ghost bride" for a man killed in a car crash.
The suspects included a grieving father who allegedly paid his four accomplices around £2,700 pounds to find a female to be his son's companion in the afterlife.

The men were caught after unearthing the remains of a teenage girl who had poisoned herself after failing her university entrance exams last year, a newspaper in Xianyang in China's Shaanxi province reported.
In rural China, superstitious villagers have for centuries sought out the bodies of recently deceased woman to be ghost brides for young men who die single.

Marriage ceremonies are conducted for the two corpses, and the bride is placed in the same grave as her husband.

Under Chairman Mao's rule, officials made strenuous efforts to stamp out the ghoulish practice but it has since resurfaced in some rural areas.

Last year, a gang in southern China was arrested for strangling young women to sell as ghost brides when the supply of female corpses in their area ran short.

It's a ho-ho-hold-up as bad Santa robs bank

Police in Nashville, Tennesee are hunting for a "jovial" armed robber who held up a city bank dressed as Santa.



The man entered the SunTrust bank at 10am (local time) and demanded money from the teller at gunpoint.

The teller handed over the cash and the robber fled in a grey car.

Nashville's WSMV-TV says the robber told bank staff that he needed the money "to pay his elves"

"It was a little unbelievable. He was actually jovial, which is scary. He explained that he was robbing the bank because Santa had to pay his elves," witness Richlyn Jones told reporters.
