According to sources AT&T Inc. said Thursday it would no longer sponsor Tiger Woods, joining Accenture in dropping support for the world’s top golfer, who’s taking a break from the sport to focus on his marriage after his admitted infidelity.
The phone company hasn’t used Woods’ image extensively in advertising, but its logo appeared on his golf bag. That deal had been billed as a “multiyear” agreement when it was signed early in 2009, after Buick ended its endorsement one year early because of its financial woes.
Woods has also been the host of the AT&T National PGA Tour event since it started in 2007. Tour spokesman Ty Votaw said that since Woods is on indefinite leave from professional golf, he will not serve as host for the 2010 event. However, his Tiger Woods Foundation will continue to be the beneficiary of the AT&T National, under a contract that runs through 2014, Votaw said.
AT&T said it would continue to sponsor the event.
Woods won the 2009 AT&T National in July at the Congressional Country Club in Bethesda, Md. The AT&T National is moving to Aronimink Country Club outside Philadelphia the next two years as Congressional prepares to host the 2011 U.S. Open.
AT&T has also been the presenting sponsor of the annual Tiger Jam concert event in Las Vegas, but that contract has expired, according to AT&T spokesman Michael Coe.
AT&T, which is based in Dallas, did not comment on its reasons for dropping Woods, or how much the relationship was worth.
Woods’ agent, Mark Steinberg, had no comment on AT&T’s decision.

Did anybody happen to catch this, the article is a bit old but I never heard anyone address this. I find it quit interesting that a Governor could display such public support of the Nazi party and no one says nothing.
For at least the second time now, Gov. Arnold Schwartzenegger has posed in trendy magazines bearing a Nazi-issue ‘deathshead’ belt buckle. Arnold, the son of a high ranking officer in the Austrian Nazi Party, first made waves with the belt-buckle when he posed with Mayor Bloomberg on the cover of TIME (June 21, 2007) see below.
Now, Esquire has written a glowing– if not worshipful– piece on the Austrian-born Arnold as governor (transforming into a stately god?) that proclaims him the “president of 12% of us” while he grandstands in various poses with his cigar, the Nazi deathshead belt buckle and also a chair decorated with eagles.
This is anything but the first time propaganda has pushed the image of Arnold as President– not only was a full-bore campaign launched to convince the subjects of the U.S. to “amend for Arnold” circa 2004, but the 2008 GOP debates featured at least two canned questions where candidates were asked to ‘look Arnold in the eye’ and tell whether or not they would change the Constitution to acquiesce to Arnold’s thirst for power (McCain and Huckabee didn’t seem to mind). Even in 1993, the film ‘Demolition Man‘ features a scenario where the Constitution is amended and Schwarzenegger becomes President.
When you consider that he is the son of a high ranking officer in the Austrian Nazi Party, you would think Arnold would be more careful than to don such symbols as a statement of fashion. Or was the choice of a skull and crossbones an intentional one?

According to sources financial troubles for Hollywood a-lister Nicolas Cage continues to pile up. Check it Out:
The star, who’s been accused by the IRS of failing to pay more than $6.2 million in back taxes and who in turn filed a multimillion-dollar suit against his business manager, is now being sued for $15 million by Red Curb Investments for allegedly failing to pay back a $3.5 million loan and for failing to disclose that he owed money to the IRS.
Cage’s lawyer said: “Any claim that our client engaged in any fraudulent conduct is ridiculous.” Red Curb could not be reached.

Well it seems that the financial woes continue to pile up for actor Nicolas Cage; Check it out:
Financially beleaguered Nicolas Cage already owes $6.3 million in back taxes and has begun selling off his homes and yachts.
Now Christina Fulton, mother of Cage’s son, Weston, 18, is suing the star for $13 million, claiming he promised to pay off her $250,000 credit-card debt.
She also claimed that Cage provided her and their son with an LA home, but she has now been hit by an eviction notice, and owes the IRS more than $1 million.
She blames Cage for it. Cage says he faces financial ruin after a former accountant allegedly duped him. The accountant has countersued, claiming Cage’s problems are due to his “compulsive, self-destructive spending.”

The eight day DC3 reunion this up coming Tuesday in Chicago has been cancelled. The group was set top reunite in a Chicago federal court to defend themselves against allegations of copyright-infringement for their hit song “Cater 2 U”, but it seems that their accuser Rickey Allen has decided to settle out of court with the group. According to sources they were able to reach an agreement in-which Allen was pleased, check it out:
“I can confirm that yes, it did settle,” said Matthew Wildermuth, the attorney for Rickey Allen, who filed a lawsuit against the group in 2006. The terms of the settlement are confidential.
“All of the issues have been amicably resolved and the case is going to be dismissed,” Wildermuth said. “[Allen is] excited about being able to devote time to posturing his musical career.”
The trial was to begin next week and would have forced the musical threesome to appear every day in court for a case that was likely to span more than a week.
Allen filed a lawsuit after the group in 2004 released “Cater 2 U” in a compilation called “Destiny Fulfilled.” He claimed they ripped off his song, with the same title and spelling, which he copyrighted.
An attorney for Knowles could not be reached for comment.

We hear of these situations time after time, celebrities not having their financial business in order, causing them to loose everything they’ve worked so hard for. To all who aspire to entertain learn from your predecessors, take care of your finances.
Nicolas Cage was in Kenya visiting imprisoned Somali pirates on Tuesday just days after he lost his two houses in New Orleans in foreclosure and he was hit with a countersuit by the former business manager he is suing for fraud.
Cage, a UN Goodwill Ambassador on Drugs & Crime, was in Mombasa to tour the Shimo La Tewa prison, where many captured Somali pirates are being held.
“I’m in a position where I can actually make some sense and talk about it when I go back to the States,” Cage told The Associated Press.
The star of the new “Bad Lieutenant” remake, who owes the IRS $6.6 million, might be safer in Kenya, where he won’t be able to spend his Hollywood millions so quickly.

According to nba.com Jordan has hand-picked Dwayne Wade as the heir to the thrown… well not really but he did hand pick him to debut the 25th anniversary Air Jordan which is still cool. D-Wade has went from Converse to Brand Jordan a hell of an upgrade if you ask me…lol! Depending on the commas on that check though.
When Jordan Brand makes its long-awaited release of the Air Jordan 2010 in February to commemorate the popular line’s 25th anniversary, Wade will debut the shoe. Hand-picked for the role by Michael Jordan himself, the Miami Heat guard called it “a huge honor.”
“I was in awe, because I know what it means to not only be a part of Jordan Brand but really represent Michael on the court in the shoe he would wear,” Wade told The Associated Press. “Very excited, to say the least.”
The shoe will be launched nationwide Feb. 13 and will carry a retail price of $170. That coincides with All-Star weekend near Dallas and is four days before Jordan’s 47th birthday. It’s unknown if Wade will wear the shoe beforehand, say in Miami’s marquee Christmas Day game at Madison Square Garden against the New York Knicks.
What are your thoughts on the new J’s?
