NEW YORK (CBS/AP) Rachel Uchitel, nightclub executive and the first alleged Tiger Woods mistress, was paid $10 million dollars to keep quiet about her alleged affair with the golfing great and not hold a tell-all press conference, according to TMZ.

Sources told the celebrity site that Uchitel was on the brink of holding a "Gloria Allred-style" presser, until Woods offered $10 million in return for a confidentially agreement.

Woods is returning to the Masters, ending a five-month hiatus from golf following his sex scandal.

Harvey Levin, executive producer of TMZ, predicts the Masters will prove extremely popular with people who care little about golf - and that means media outlets pour resources into covering it.

Pitt Bulls are NOT BORN FIGHTERS. I have most loving dog in the world. She's a pit bull. 9 years old and never given me a moment's trouble or aggression. The neighborhood children ask to play with her. When pit bulls are raised with compassion and are given love they make wonderful companions and pets. Too often they are abused and raised to be fighting dogs....never knowing any love or decent treatment. You raise them that way and of course they become vicious. Shame on you. Michael Vick deserves every bit of jail time, condemnation, and vitriol he'll ever get. He can contract flesh eating bacteria and die for all I care. His crime was much more serious than Tiger's infidelities. Tiger's infidelities are merely trashy and tacky. Divorce him already, Elin. As for Roethlisberger, if he's found guilty he'll go to jail, which he deserves.

Tiger Woods paid off this woman to keep her silent and it has not happened!!! This Uchitel woman loves media attention and she cannot stand to be out staged from the limelight by Tiger?s other mistresses. Every now and then, she finds a way to make it to the media with some details of the information she was paid to keep from disclosing. I am more than sure that she uses third parties and possible pays them to leak information to the media, while she remains in the background trying to repair her wh**e. image. Some people think and I read this somewhere, that she is waiting for Tiger and Elin's marriage to be finally over so she can get back in the scene with Tiger, because she is very greedy and wants access to Tiger's money very badly. I also read that Gloria Allred may have used Jostlyn James to accelerate the divorce of Tiger and Elin for the benefit of Rachel. As you can see there is great incentive ($$$$) and interest here for these shameless, immoral women. Time will tell.
