Howard Stern to stage pageant for Tiger Woods’ mistresses

ORLANDO, Fla. — Four of Tiger Woods mistresses — so far — have agreed to take part in a beauty pageant with a $100,000 prize, according to The Times of London.

Radio’s Howard Stern on March 10 will throw the Tiger Woods Mistress Beauty Pageant. But the newspaper did not identify the four contestants.

The contest will feature such categories as swimsuit, personality and talent.

The prize money comes from AshleyMadison.com, a dating service with the slogan “Life is Short, Have an Affair.”

The secrets of Woods’ private life started spilling out after he had a car accident outside his Isleworth, Fla., home in November. The Times put the number of women identified as his mistresses at 13.

The world’s most famous golfer didn’t appear in public until last week, when he apologized to friends, family and fans in a speech carried by many TV channels.

But Stern faulted that scripted apology. “(He) looked like he wanted to be anywhere on the planet but in that room,” Stern said on his show. “It didn’t seem like this was his idea, or anything he wanted to be a part of.”

Stern has invited Woods’ wife, Elin, to be a judge, but The Times said she had not responded to the invitation.
