Tiger Woods gave his first interview to ESPN and the Golf Channel since his infidelities scandal broke last year.  When asked how well the world knows him now, Woods replied:

And stripping away denial and rationalization you start coming to the truth of who you really are and that can be very ugly.

Well it is finally here!  The anticipated video for Lady GaGa and Beyonce’s “Telephone.” Tyrese is also featured in the video.  Lady Gaga explains the concept of the video to E! News.
