Tiger Woods' 'fling' with young neighbour is final straw for Elin

Tiger Woods has confessed to cheating with as many as 120 women behind his wife's back during their five-year marriage, it was claimed Wednesday night.

But a one-night stand with the 21-year-old daughter of a neighbour in Florida was the final straw for Elin Nordegren, according to the National Enquirer magazine in the U.S. 

The Enquirer claimed the distraught mother-of-two decided to sign divorce papers after learning the supermarket tabloid was investigating Woods' alleged fling with Raychel Coudriet, whom he is said to have known since she was just 14.

The scandal-plagued golfer is alleged to have listed all the women he bedded as part of his treatment for sex addiction at the Gentle Path rehab centre in Mississippi earlier this year.

These included former Playboy model Loredana Jolie Ferriolo and nightclub promoter Rachel Uchitel. But a source told the magazine that Woods left his young neighbour off the list.

After learning of the Enquirer's claim, a furious Ms. Nordegren, 30, allegedly called Woods while he was having dinner with friends following his golf comeback at the U.S. Masters. "She was screaming so loudly that everyone at the table could hear what she was saying," a source told the magazine.

Woods' estranged wife was quoted as saying: "This is the worst betrayal ever. I can't believe you had sex with that girl in our own neighbourhood. That's it - I'm divorcing you!" The Enquirer claimed the seduction happened last May just yards from where his wife was caring for their new-born baby.

Woods, 34, adamantly denied having a fling with Miss Goudriet, now a 22-year-old student at the University of Alabama.

Film investors: Paris Hilton owes $1M restitution

Paris Hilton should return up to $1 million she was paid for the 2006 box-office bomb ''Pledge This!'' because she didn't plug the film enough, an attorney for the movie's investors told a federal judge Thursday.

The 29-year-old hotel heiress, actress and self-promoting businesswoman refused nine requests for print and broadcast interviews she should have given under her contract, said investor attorney Bryan West. ''We paid her $1 million, and we're entitled to get at least a portion of that back,'' West told U.S. District Judge Federico Moreno.

''Part of what actors do is promote their films.'' But Hilton's attorney, Michael Weinsten, said she took part in several high-profile publicity events -- including an appearance at the Cannes Film Festival -- and that the contract didn't require her to do interviews when she was busy on other projects. Interestingly, Goldberg said Thursday that sales of the ''Pledge This!'' DVD spiked last summer amid publicity surrounding the trial.

Frocks make Posh's fashion critics eat their words

It was not so long ago that Victoria Beckham was treated like a pariah in fashion circles.

But Mrs. Beckham has undergone one of the biggest fashion reincarnations since Burberry was transformed from a dowdy Home Counties staple into an international celebrity favourite.

As her fourth collection was presented in London yesterday, stylists and editors ate low-fat slivers of humble pie while running the rule over dresses they now covet. Origami-influenced sheath dresses in heavy rib jerseys nestled alongside glossy raffia tweeds tailored into understated dresses that owe more than a nod to a young Grace Kelly.

Such pared-down silhouettes cut with the precision of a master tailor have become her look, and it seems she's on to a winner. "The clothes rarely reach the shop floor,' said a spokesman. "They're sold before they can get there." And that's despite the high price tags - an 'entry level' dress from the current collection costs £1,000, while prices for the more intricate gowns start at £4,000.
