Last we heard from Jessica Simpson, the songstress sweetheart of Tony Romo & scourge of Cowboys fans everywhere had put on a few pounds. But Jess is not one to shy away from self-improvement, and she’s taking up a new sport to get herself back in shape: golf.
And if you’re going to take up the game of links, there’s one linksman everyone wants to turn to: Tiger Woods. So Ms. Simpson apparently approached the Artist Formerly Known As Eldrick to give her a few pointers ‘n’ such. But Tiger wasn’t so quick to claw at the opportunity.
From German gossip site BILD.DE:
Jessica Simspon has asked golf legend Tiger Woods for lessons. The singer has recently been turning heads with her fuller figure and wants to live a healthier lifestyle. A source said: “Jessica is taking it seriously. She even asked if Tiger Woods would give her some pointers, but he’s been busy with his new baby.”
Kids do change your lifestyle. Still, Jessica is undaunted in her quest to become queen of the fairway:
She has already signed up for a set of lessons, and has splashed out $8,400 on a Louis Vuitton golf bag and clubs to ensure she looks stylish as she learns.
But there could be more to Jessica’s renewed interest in golf than just a new way to keep her outside & in the public eye:
However, it seems she may have ulterior motives for wanting to improve her swing. Boyfriend and American football star, Tony Romo, is said to be a huge fan of the sport, and Jessica is hoping it might bring them closer together.
Or an evening sitting together on the couch & watching “Caddyshack” will accomplish the same thing.

Another overrated so-called star. I don't blame Tiger for saying no. This bimbo has a serious sense of entitlement.

Big Bub, I thought you mean Eldrick? He plays a 'competitive recreation (no way it's a sport) where the ball doesn't move, you can take your time (up to an extent) and hit the ball when you feel like it, everyone stays incredibly quiet - or Steve his bag ape beats them down, most of your competitors are ridiculously overweight and overpaid.

If she really wants to lose weight, why don't she pick a sport that requires a little bit more exercise?

We all Know that Tiger is incredibly smart, and does not evolve his life with a person like her, All she wants is another way to exploit herself for money, because she has no talent at anything at all. Thankyou Tiger, that women coud ruin a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, Dont let her near a Golf course, thankyou. Now try not tearing the bread Jess.

BrooksBigForehead,
You make golf sound so easy. Is it easy for you? You must play a lot, always walk carrying your own bag or have a caddie, and shot in the 70's to have such good insight. Also, you are correct that there's too much money in golf like all other pro sports. However, sports broadcasts provide cheap TV programing that doesn't require screen writers, scripts, etc and provides a lame reason for lazy guys to sit watching a TV for hours and hours. Works for everyone!!!

She is actually quite a good singer… It just seems like she hasn't sung anything but country music for years, because of all these reality shows and t.v. commercials and rich boyfriends. Her voice was actually better than pop quality. It was at the R&B level.
