Tiger Woods Leaving the USA!

While I agree it's going to be next to impossible for Mr. Woods to get any privacy for a long time in the U.S., is the option of moving to France, which he is really considering, going to solve anything?

While I agree it's going to be next to impossible for Mr. Woods to get any privacy for a long time in the USA, is the option of moving to France, which he is really considering, going to solve anything?

Yes its true... France does have the strictest privacy laws in the world that keep those annoying media and their questions away. You can't snap a star, even in a Paris public park, and sell it without the celebrity's consent. Even Suri Cruise knows she's safe in France, no matter how adorable she looks in her controversial high heels.

No wonder France was the chosen birthplace for Saint Angelina's $12 million twins as opposed to Bethlehem, which I hear is riddled with tourists and cameras at this time of year!

France is also home to Hollywood's modern day version of the famously reclusive Marlene Dietrich -- Johnny Depp -- which is defiantly working out great for him, as you never see pictures of his family shopping for treasure at the local supermarket.

Yet it seems to me Tiger's problems are much bigger than a rogue picture ending up in the pages of Us Weekly with a cheeky caption accompanying it.

As someone who has worked with many A-list celebrities who got caught in very compromising positions (no names, but you know who you are!), I know a thing or two about a media crisis.

And while I have nothing against France -- the words Freedom Fries will never pass my lips -- the last thing Elin needs right now is her world being turned upside down again by the man who is still thinking only about himself. Why are famous people always more concerned about their public perception than the reality of their private lives?

No doubt your public image is going to be hard to fix, but I'm betting that fixing your personal life will be harder. Fix that first and the rest will work itself out. America always forgives a repentant sinner, but they don't like a coward.

Face the music Tiger. Don't flee. That makes as much sense as you quitting the one thing that you are good at, golf.... oh wait, didn't you already do that?

As if you really want privacy, may I suggest you do a very long interview and remind everyone just how boring you are. After 60 minutes of you rattling on to Larry King, I promise you no one will bother you again!
