Mistress #1 in the Tiger Woods scandal, Rachel Uchitel, has just given birth to a “healthy and beautiful baby girl,” her rep tells US Weekly.

After she broke up Tiger Wood’s marriage, she was also linked to “Bones” actor David Boreanaz in his cheating scandal. I’m really trying to emphasize the point that the girl gets around. Oh she was also featured on “Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew” for an apparent addiction to…love?
Elin Nordegren does things big. Attacking her cheating husband with golf clubs, demolishing a perfectly good $12 million mansion…

Tiger Woods’ ex-wife had her $12 million Florida mansion bulldozed to the ground so she could rebuild her “dream home”. I’m confused. Because give me a $12 million mansion--any $12 million mansion, and that’s my dream home. But not Elin, she has other plans.

There’s a lot of money floating around Hollywood. If you get the right gig, you can make thousands a day just holding a boom mic. So imagine how much the show runners make—the directors, producers, executives, Brad Pitts...it’s disgusting.

Yet, we only have ourselves to blame. We love our entertainment. A lot. If you want to see how much people love their entertainment, try turning off the TV while someone is watching the American Idol results. Beware, it can get ugly.

Here are the top ten Highest Paid Men in Entertainment of 2010-2011, according to Forbes.

1. Tyler Perry: $130 million: Apparently, someone is actually watching Meet the Browns, House of Payne, and Madea’s Big Happy Family. I don’t want to say these movies are terrible, because I think the billboards of Tyler Perry dressing in drag under the caption: “GOOD AFTERNOONT!” speak for themselves. Maybe Tyler is onto something here, though. Because it looks like he’s playing every character in the movie himself. Guy saves a ton on actors' salaries.

Tiger’s ex wife Elin Nordegren just recently moved on and has been quietly dating Jamie Dingman, and Elin just found out Rachel has slept with her new boyfriend too. Seriously Rachel, isn’t your va-jay-jay tired?!

Elin’s boyfriend Jamie and Rachel hooked up twice in Miami in October 2009, reports TMZ. They were staying together in Miami while working on an “investment business” just two months before the Tiger Woods scandal broke...

Now that Maria Shriver and Arnold Schwarzenegger have filed for divorce, this high profile divorce could cost the former Governor quite a pretty penny.

Arnold is worth $500-750 million and is required to give half of what he earned during the marriage to Maria according to California law. However, it’s being reported that since Arnold “feels bad” about the break-up he is reportedly going to give Maria more than half that amount.

It’s no coincidence the divorce settlement is coming at the same time...

The tabloids have been buzzing since the Arnold Schwarzenegger mistress scandal broke, but Mildred “Patty” Beana is not the only “other woman” breaking up marriages.

Take a look at some other famous paramours and some you probably weren’t aware of.

Rachel Uchitel is famous because she was the first Tiger Woods mistress to be exposed. A VIP club hostess turned reality TV star turned private investigator, Uchitel is making the most of her Tiger Woods fame.
