Elin Nordegren To Make Bank Off Endorsements

It looks like Tiger Woods' soon-to-be ex, Elin Nordegren, may be making more than the $100 million shes already getting from the divorce.

A top sports marketing firm is apparently trying to get Elin to accept one of the endorsement offers they're throwing her way, whether it be her acting as a spokesperson or even a TV personality.

According to a source, "they are trying to get her to be a personality, get her endorsement deals, get her a talk show, really anything they can try and come up with that she will want to go for."

And Elin's response to the offers are "so far she hasn't said no and seems to be mildly interested."

We're thinking a TV personality might be pushing it a little too far but we could definitely see her doing some endorsements.

Maybe some nice golfing gear ads. HA, we kid.

Buy Tiger Woods Over Priced Shirt

And we're not talking a little overpriced, we're talking A LOT.

Rue La La is trying to sell an autographed shirt that Tiger Woods once wore for a whopping $16,000!!!

The online retailer is trying to make it look like the shirt is a steal since it was originally priced at $17,999.

Ha!

We're dying to know how they came up with those numbers for a shirt worn by a man who cheated on his wife numerous times.

Are Celebrities Magazine Covers Coming To An End???

Ad campaigns were first, could magazine covers be next?

It seems that the world is growing tired of the celebrity faces that grace the front cover of magazines because magazine editors are saying "the tried-and-true formula of going to a movie star first is no longer working".

Glamour editor Cindi Leive explains:

"I think what you’re seeing in the magazine world is a certain amount of fatigue with the same old, same old faces. One reason we had a nice sale with Taylor Swift was that you hadn’t seen her on a million magazine covers before and there was actually the hope that ‘Oh my God! I might actually learn something new.’ I think taking risks is serving people well right now."

But magazine guru Samir Husni says with some celebs, there's nothing new to learn. He argues:

"What else do you really want to know about Angelina Jolie? With a lot of these celebrities, there’s nothing left to show unless they actually take their clothes off. We’ve covered them from every shape, every corner. We’ve shown them with their kids, and with their boyfriends and with their girlfriends, so that’s why you’re starting to see semi-naked soccer players and a semi-naked Tiger Woods. That’s what it takes to survive in a digital age."

He makes a good point. Some celeb articles feel like the same interview as before just reworded!

Elle's creative director Joe Zee suggests finding something new to feature, adding "It’s about commerce. At some point, you have to go and find something new."

So what is that "something new"? We don't even think they know!

So until they figure it out, you'll just have to suffer with the same ol' celebrity saying the same ol' things.

Are U tired of seeing celebrities on magazine covers???

Le Tigre's Still Taking Jabs At Tiger

Le Tigre is still riding the Tiger Woods bandwagon and using it to their full advantage.

The sport brand has put up new billboards that try and make a funny with one of their many Tiger puns.

How convenient that these new ads come out right before his return to the game!

Enjoy it while the jokes are still somewhat funny.
