TIGER’S POST-MISTRESS MASTER’S (UPDATED)  by Elizabeth Searle

Breaking: Phil Mickelson has taken the Master’s Title this year– how much of a setback is this for Tiger?

On and off the course, Tiger faced a huge test this week.  Blog friend Caitlin sent in a link to a bizarre new Nike commercial dramatizing a contrite Tiger hearing his deceased father.  Caitlin felt it made her skin crawl and my skin’s with hers.  WDYT?

Meanwhile, Blog follower ‘wd’ had a positive early reaction to Tiger’s Press Conference, calling it a ‘magnificent’ disgraced-celeb. performance that seemed to him ‘sincere.’  I agree Tiger has much improved his apology ‘game’ and does seem more at ease and at the same time more truly sorry.  And on the course?

Golf is a psychological game and Tiger Woods (as we’ve all learned ) is a mere mortal.  So far, his fabled superhuman powers of concentration have slipped a bit this week at the Master’s tournament in the unwelcome and unflattering glare of the scandal spotlight.

And what of Tiger’s estranged wife Elin Woods?  Understandably, she is skipping the Master’s.  Unconfirmed rumors say she may be pregnant.  Will she eventually rejoin her ringside seat as the tournament season plays out?

Do you find yourself rooting for Tiger, the supreme athlete, to win out, or for Tiger the ‘Cheetah’ to pay the ultimate price and lose his mojo?  My money (not that it’s smart money, sports-wise) said that Tiger would make some screw-ups on the golf course this week, just as he’s done so spectacularly off the course lately, in the game of life.

Linda K. Sienkiewicz's QUEEN OF ROCK

With the world watching, I wondered if Tiger the golfer would regain his pre-Mistress Mastery.  At first, he was proving me wrong.  And now, with Mickelson’s victory?  Do you want Tiger to ultimately emerge victorious?  Or is his reign ending?

And in this Master’s Tournament week, be sure to visit the celeb-inspired Masterpieces like Queen of Rock (right) on display in our StarLit Gallery.  We welcome submissions to the StarLit Gallery and will be choosing some of our online art for an onscreen role in the forthcoming short film from Bravo Sierra, now set to shoot in late April: Celebrities in Disgrace…

Seeking Your StarLit Art: Decorate for Disgrace!

As shooting begins on the short film version of CELEBRITIES IN DISGRACE, we are opening up a StarLit Gallery page– featuring photos from the film as well as your own ‘celebrity-inspired’ art works.  Drawings, paintings, cartoons, collages.  Anything goes!  Channel your inner Andy Warhol.  Your ‘StarLit Art’ may wind up not only online, but ‘onscreen.’

The Bravo Sierra team will chose some original works to ‘decorate’ the apartment of our film’s main character: a celeb-obsessed Aspiring Actress/High School teacher, ‘Kathryn Byrne,’ played by the dynamic Patrice Bunch” (pictured below). Star-crossed Kathryn aspires to be Nancy Kerrigan onstage.  Instead, she becomes a ‘celebrity in disgrace,’ caught up in a seeming teacher/student ‘Sext Scandal’ and more.

Help us give Kathryn a fittingly star-studded backdrop as she rides the all-American loopty-loop of fame/disgrace. Attach a jpg of your celebrity-inspired artwork on an email to: e.searle@comcast.net. We will post your work on the StarLit gallery and consider it a contender in our Decorate for Disgrace competition.

PS: Speaking of ‘celebrity-inspired art,’ check out the bold cover essay for NEWSWEEK, in which Neal Gabler takes a defiantly positive slant on our nation’s obsession with Celeb. narratives, which he deems modern-day art…WDYT?
