We reported recently that Tiger Woods was making the final preparations to move into his $60 million estate in Jupiter, Florida. An intriguing new report has come out to reveal that Woods' ex-wife, Elin Nordegren, has purchased a beachfront mansion at a fraction of Tiger's price...for a home twice the size.
Elin Nordegren is clearly moving on with her life, as a new story describes the luxurious new North Palm Beach home she's spending a reported $12.2 million on. The 17,000 square-foot house sits on the ocean, just 10 miles from Tiger's expansive new estate, as the pair agreed that they wanted to stay close (geographically, anyway) for the sake of their two kids.
Interestingly, Elin's new home is actually twice the size of Tiger's new house -- she just has a lot less land than her ex's 12 acres. What are the amenities? Splash explains: "The two-storey home, built originally in 1932, boasts eight bathrooms and a 4,700 square-foot basement." The basement, of course, is said to be a rarity on the Florida coast.

( Minnesota Twins ) - The Minnesota Twins have made roster cuts on Saturday. Infielder Trevor Plouffe, optioning right-handed pitcher Alex Burnett and outfielder Ben Revere to Triple-A Rochester and then Danny Rams was reassigned to Minor League camp.
Even though things are changing for the Minnesota Twins there are still a favorite for many. There is one particular fan that was very excited to get to see his favorite team and his favorite player Justin Morneau. This is a 9-year-old boy named Ryan. He will get this chance to be up close and personal with the Minnesota Twins through the Make A Wish Foundation.
At the tender age of 2 years old Ryan was diagnosed with immune deficiency. Ryan must get regular infusions so that his antibodies in his blood can be replenished. Though life is hard on him Ryan has kept a good attitude about things and his parents are very proud of him. Getting to go to Florida and see the Minnesota Twins should really brighten up his day!
French police have recovered a cache of stolen Harry Winston gems hidden in a rain sewer. The loot, spoils from a brazen 2008 heist, was found in a plastic container set in a cement mold, inside a drain at a house in Seine-Saint-Denis, according to police statements.
Nineteen rings—including one valued at $8.3 million—and 3 sets of earrings were found, part of a $111 million lift taken from a Harry Winston boutique two years ago.
As many as four armed thieves, some dressed as women in wigs, stormed the luxury jewelry store in December 2008. Police reports say the robbery was carried out near the Champs-Elysee in broad daylight and lasted a mere 15 minutes.
Authorities previously recovered some of the stolen valuables when 25 people were detained and questioned in June 2009.
Nine people were charged, including the alleged mastermind, who had already been sentenced to 15 years in prison in an unrelated drug trafficking case.
Elisabeth Rohm breaks her silence about her IVF treatment and the difference it has made to her life.
Ecstatic as ever about her motherhood, the actress gushed, "I never thought I’d come out and talk about my experience with in vitro fertilization (IVF). It’s not that I’m shy or hugely private; it mainly comes from the subject being socially taboo and very personal. As a woman who has had to receive assistance to be able to carry a child and deliver a healthy baby girl, I am grateful that I had the right to make a choice for my family and regarding my own body."
She confesses that it is not easy for women to come out in the open and speak about their struggles of pregnancy, yet she wants her story to be an inspiration to the many who crave for motherhood but are having a difficult time with conception.
Elisabeth is happy when she sees her daughter growing up, and owes it all to the support of doctors, family and friends.
Photos of Eva Braun that have not been previously seen are now displayed on LIFE.com. Braun is the long-term girlfriend and wife for one day of Adolf Hitler.
The United States Army confiscated the photos in 1945 but was only revealed recently by Reinhard Schulz, collector and curator. The newly-released photos of Braun showed her flirty and provocative streak especially in front of the camera. The photos were found contained in Braun’s private albums in her home.
The death of Hitler’s niece and rumoured lover Geli Raubal in 1931 made Brain the centre of the life of the German dictator.
Braun, who became a model at the age of 17, became a favourite but vain companion to the Nazi leader. She used to work at Reich official photographer Heinrich Hoffman’s studio in Munich.
She claims to have met a man with “a funny moustache” called “Herr Wolff” through her modelling job. It turned out that she was referring to Adolf Hitler. And as Hitler was getting high up in the Nazi Party ranks, they also became closer as a couple.
While hundreds of thousands of people died in the Battle of Berlin as the German and Russian troops sought to get control of Berlin in 1945, it was the death of 55-year old Hitler and 33-year old Braun in April 30, 1945 that ended the Third Reich and in effect the war.
The photos, starting with photos of her as a chubby infant, provided an insight into Braun’s life. It also chronicled her life as a teenager and her life with Hitler from the 1930s to the 1940s before they both committed suicide.
It also gave a glimpse of Braun’s habits which were loathed by Hitler such as smoking, swimming in the nude and wearing makeup.
A massive earthquake has hit the north-east of Japan, triggering a tsunami that has caused extensive damage.
Japanese television showed cars, ships and even buildings being swept away by a vast wall of water after the 8.9-magnitude earthquake.
The quake has sparked fires in several areas including Tokyo. At least 32 people were killed, officials said.
It struck about 250 miles (400km) from the capital at a depth of 20 miles. There have been powerful aftershocks.
The tremor, measured at 8.9 by the US Geological Survey, hit at 1446 local time (0546 GMT). Seismologists say it is one of the largest earthquakes to hit Japan for many years.

It looks like Fidel Castro is doing good also in cyberspace. A Twitter account of Cuba’s ex-president has passed has 100,000 followers - arguably the first official Cuban-themed Twitter account to break that threshold.
The account, set up about a year ago, has sent more than 1,700 tweets with Castro's musings about world affairs, above all his fears that the world is headed for nuclear Armageddon, and his warnings that NATO is planning to invade Libya.
Only 2 percent of the island's population uses the Internet though, the lowest such figure in the Western Hemisphere.
Reese Witherspoon joined the elite group of entertainers with a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame recently, and the Oscar winner revealed, "Never in 462 million years did I think this was going to happen to me. I thought I was going to live in Tennessee and be a doctor."
Reese, who has a new comedy called "How Do You Know" with Owen Wilson, Paul Rudd and Jack Nicholson acknowledged her good fortune and luck "to have been embraced by the community of Hollywood".
"I’m just so lucky that I get the opportunity to do what I love every day," she said. "It’s so nice to go to the movie theater and just escape for two hours and dream, and hopefully my films do that for people."
The actress was accompanied by her two children, daughter Ava, 11, and seven-year-old son Deacon, for the induction ceremony which was held outside the W Hotel in Los Angeles. Reese looked stunning in a black and red polka dot dress as she was presented with her tribute – the 2,425th star dedication on the famous avenue.
Her boyfriend, Hollywood agent Jim Toth, was also there to see his girlfriend – who has appeared in a host of hit films, including "Cruel Intentions," "Sweet Home Alabama" and "Legally Blonde" – receive the accolade.
The 34-year-old actress, who divorced actor Ryan Philippe in 2007 and split from Jake Gyllenhaal in 2009, has admitted she is very "comfortable" in her relationship with Jim and says they are benefits to date someone who isn’t famous.
For years studies have shown how a good night’s sleep can better prepare one’s brain for a day of learning. Now recent studies are showing that quick naps before learning new information is another way to increase memorization. The study looked at a variety of volunteers who took a nap lasting around one and a half hours directly before doing a memorization exercise.
Weight Loss Diet Plans
The results showed that those who napped prior to the exercise scored almost 20 percent more than those who did not nap before the exercise and found improvements in their weight loss goals. The study showed that people go about their everyday business their ability to learn and retain information decreases. Ones who did not nap and did the exercise both in the morning and the afternoon showed much better results in the first set of exercises.
Weight Loss and Exercises
Those who napped actually did better on the second set of exercises compared to the first set. This suggests that napping not only reboots the memory capacity, but actually improves it all together. The result makes a case for the way some Europeans schedule their workdays around a mid-day siesta.
Sum 41's Deryck Whibley Hospitalized With Pneumonia
Sum 41 frontman Deryck Whibley has had another mishap... just in time to coincide with the release of their fifth-full length album in 10 years, Screaming Bloody Murder.
Whibley has contracted a nasty case of pneumonia that has him holed up in a Sydney, Australia hospital bed for, well... it looks like a while.
A statement on Sum 41's website lets fans know the band were cancelling their upcoming Australian tour dates due to Whibley's illness. The notice also features a tiny black & white photo of Whibley, sprawled out in the aforementioned hospital bed and hooked up to a barrage of wires to prove he's really not faking it.
While we wish Whibley a speedy recovery, it should be brought to attention that this isn't his first time calling in sick to work.
Last August, Whibley faced a sneak attack in a Japanese bar that lead to a brief hospitalization.
Weeks prior, some Vans Warped Tour Dates had to be scrapped while Whibley tried to get over a bout of bronchitis.
Going back further, there were a slew of concert cancellations in 2005 and 2007 while the singer tried to recoup from a ruptured vocal cord and a back injury, respectively.
Dude has been in rough shape for a long time and needs to start taking better care of himself, or an onslaught of those pesky celebrity death rumours will start flying again.
Sum 41 are also scheduled to play this year's Vans Warped Tour. Here's hoping Whibley's better in time to perform.
Screaming Bloody Murder comes out March 29.
Here are Sum 41's cancelled dates:
March 4 Melbourne, Australia @ Melbourne Showgrounds (Soundwave Festival) March 5 Adelaide, Australia @ Bonython Park (Soundwave Festival) March 7 Perth, Australia @ Claremont Showgrounds (Soundwave Festival)
These Sum 41 dates remain unaffected by Whibley's illness (for now at least):
March 12 Valencia, Spain @ Ciudad De Las Artes Y De Las Ciencias (free) March 16 Toronto, ON @ Lee's Palace March 18 Detroit, MI @ The Fillmore Detroit March 25 Ventura, CA @ Majestic Ventura Theatre March 26 Las Vegas, NV @ Desert Breeze Skate Park (Extreme Thing Sports & Music Festival) March 27 San Diego, CA @ House Of Blues San Diego March 29 Pomona, CA @ The Glass House May 17 Sapporo, Japan @ Sapporo Zepp May 19 Sendai, Japan @ Sendai Zepp May 20 Yokohama, Japan @ Yokohama Blitz May 21 Nagoya, Japan @ Nagoya Zepp May 23 Fukuoka, Japan @ Fukuoka Zepp May 24-25 Osaka, Japan @ Osaka Hatch May 27 Tokyo, Japan @ Studio Coast May 28 Tokyo, Japan @ Tokyo Zepp July 2 Nove Mesto Nad Vahom, Slovakia @ Top Fest July 3 Hradec Kralove, Czech Republic @ Hradec Kralove Airport July 9 Knebworth, England @ Knebworth House (Sonisphere)
