Rachel Uchitel, Elena Kagan, and Our Double Standard about Sex as Savvy Career Move

Rachel Uchitel, Elena Kagan, and Our Double Standard about Sex as Savvy Career Move

Has it always been this way? For some reason, the career advancement of a serious, intellectual woman -- Elena Kagan, just for instance -- can be jeopardized over mere rumors about a very private life she prefers for whatever reason to keep private. Yet for gals like Michelle McGee or Rachel Uchitel, dicey sexual behavior is a sure-fire career enhancer. Yes, broadcast a sex tape or publish naughty stripper photos and you're on your way; thus are gals who've done nothing more than be blessed with tight abdominals and a proclivity for shaking what God (or a surgeon) gave 'em celebrated with ...

5 Rules to Cheat By: Tiger Woods Edition

5 Rules to Cheat By: Tiger Woods Edition

(Dec. 18) -- Now that the flood of women claiming or denying trysts with Tiger Woods has ebbed, it seems only appropriate -- or completely inappropriate -- to take a good look at his alleged sources and unconfirmed methods. Based on reports on 10 alleged mistresses (Rachel Uchitel, Jaimee Grubbs, Kalika Moquin, Jamie Jungers, Mindy Lawton, Cori Rist, Holly Sampson, Joslyn James, Julie Postle and Theresa Rogers), we've found that the reported extramarital affairs had certain things in common. Here they are, with a huge caveat: Most of this information remains unverified by Sphere or ...

Brooke Magnanti: Call Girl, Blogger . . . and PhD

Brooke Magnanti:  Call Girl, Blogger   . . . and PhD

Mia wrote a thoughtful post Thursday reminding us that -- whatever else she may have done -- Rachel Uchitel (aka Mistress #1 in Tigergate) also lost her fiancé in 9/11. Donna chimed in by helpfully reminding us that not all "skanks" are created equal. So let me join this humanizing trend on Woman Up and put in a word on behalf of the latest "woman of dubious provenance" to cross my path: the prostitute turned PhD, Belle de Jour. ...

Rachel Uchitel Survived 9/11 -- Can She Survive Tiger?

Rachel Uchitel Survived 9/11 -- Can She Survive Tiger?

I haven't exactly ignored the barrage of stories about Tiger Woods and his fall from grace, but I haven't been too interested, either. "Powerful Man Cheats Many Times." What else is new? I've been more intrigued by Rachel Uchitel, Woods' voluptuous alleged mistress #1, who has been portrayed, depending on the tabloid or celebrity magazine you read, as a New York party girl, VIP hostess and gold digger. But Uchitel is also a surviving victim of 9/11, one of the scores of people who lost a loved one in that tragedy. I talked to many of them as a reporter for the New York Times in the days, ...

Does Tiger Woods Deserve Privacy for his 'Transgressions'?

Does Tiger Woods Deserve Privacy for his 'Transgressions'?

In the wake of a sex scandal, Tiger Woods released a statement in which he admits "transgressions" but then asks for "privacy" in three of the five paragraphs. Tiger Woods does not admit having affairs with Rachel Uchitel and Jaimee Grubbs -- both of whom have been linked to him or who have claimed a sexual affair with him. He was circumspect in his written statement, saying: "I have let my family down and I regret those transgressions with all of my heart. I have not been true to my values and the behavior my family deserves." I think we can all read between the lines. Woods puts it ...

Perez Hilton Offers Tiger Woods Advice

(Dec. 2) - If Tiger Woods wants a quick exit from the world of scandal he's entered, he might as well start listening to the Internet's No. 1 gossip "gangstar," Perez Hilton. The self-proclaimed "Queen of All Media" is in New York this week, celebrating the release of "True Bloggywood Stories: The Glamorous Life of Beating, Cheating and Overdosing." Until now, this is a world that the 33-year-old golf superstar has avoided. Ben Trivett, AOL "It was all about golf. You never saw him in the clubs. He was boring, and he had this armor of impenetrability. That's one reason it's so ...
