Tyra Banks is in NZ filming Americas Next Top Model and The Edge has had contact!

Sharyn from The Edge Night show and Aussie Will from Fletch & Vaughan’s show met her at Ponsonby’s swanky restaurant SPQR yesterday. It was a brief encounter but they got Tyra to give us her best kiwi accent. Listen here:

Sharyn described Tyra as “amazingly lovely and doesn't have a big forehead!” She also said; “She was way hotter than I imagined. She was tiny. Everything about her was perfect. Her skin was amazing. She was really friendly and told me I was cute and it was nice to meet us. She was exactly how I imagined she'd be; really down to earth and approachable.”

We will bring you another exclusive interview next week with Jay-Jay, Mike & Dom - photographer/judge of America's Next Top Model, Nigel Barker on the show.


"In Touch Weekly" has printed some e-mails that Tiger Woods supposedly sent to Rachel Uchitel before the scandal broke.
One of them said; "I know it's brutal on you that you can't be with me all the time. I get it. It (effing) kills me, too. I finally found someone I connect with, someone I have never found like this. Not even at home.
"You want someone to witness your life. I want you to lay next to me, lay on me or where ever you want to lay. (Eff). Why didn't we find each other years ago. We wouldn't be having this conversation."

Tiger’s mistress Jaimee Grubbs has apologised to Elin Nordegren. She told EXTRA "I have no words to explain, you know, what I've done to her and her family.
I guess I would be deeply sorry for never considering her during the whole process, and not . . . him not bringing her up was just a way for me to just pretend that he didn't have [a wife], and for me not to deal with it. Watch the video here.

Jaimee also admitted that she was, "devastated" to find out she wasn't his only mistress.
And "Us Weekly" has printed some of the text conversations between Jaimee and Tiger. Read them here:

Back in May, Porn star mistress Holly Sampson talked about hooking up with Tiger Woods during a webcam show on the porno site NaughtyAmerica.com.
The hostess asked Holly if she'd ever slept with any famous people . . . and Tiger was one of THREE guys she named . . . along with Kevin Costner and Stephen Dorff.
Here's an EDITED version, with all the extraneous stuff cut out.
