     *Tiger Woods' wife Elin Nordegren will reportedly take the kids and jet to her native Sweden for the holidays, according to People.com. Woods is not expected to come. Nordegren’s mother, Barbo Holmber, has returned to Sweden after flying to her daughter’s and ending up in the hospital with stomach pain. Sources caution that Nordegren’s holiday trip to Sweden, where she recently purchased a $2.3 million country retreat outside Stockholm, is not a permanent one as she plans to split her time between both countries.

      *People magazine is quoting "a source close to the golfer's wife" who says Elin is planning to leave Tiger. "She's made up her mind. There's nothing to think about: he's never going to change," the unnamed source says in the upcoming issue. A high-profile Florida divorce attorney tells People that Nordegren has met with lawyers to renegotiate the Woods' prenuptial agreement.

      *Charles Barkley and Spike Lee are both concerned about Tiger after the golf star changed his cell phone number amid all the drama.  "I've been trying to get to him and can't get to him. It's very frustrating,"  Barkley said while taping "With All Due Respect," a one-hour special airing Sunday on HLN, in which he and two fellow Turner sports analysts discuss the news of the day. "I think when you have these fires in your life, as I call them, you need to talk to somebody else who is famous who [has] been through things in their life," he added. "I don't think you can talk about it to your family and friends, because your family and friends, they're not famous." Spike Lee added, "If Charles Barkley and Michael Jordan can't get to him, and those are his boys, then other people are making bad moves." Barkley pleaded to Woods, "Hey, man, we love you. If you need anything, pick up the phone."

      *TMZ.com is reporting that Elin is "very close" to signing an endorsement deal with Puma. "An official from Puma -- the athletic wear company -- has confirmed they are in 'internal discussions' to sign Elin as a spokesperson for a new Swedish-inspired clothing line called Tretorn," the Web site reported.  The rep said Puma wants Elin because they feel she's "a good brand fit."

      *Tiger's OG mistress Rachel Uchitel is reportedly staying just a few miles from Woods' home in Florida. According to Fox411.com, she "told friends she had booked a plane ticket for last Friday from New York to West Palm Beach, just seven-and-a-half miles from the North Palm Beach marina where Woods' yacht Privacy was docked over the weekend, and about 20 miles from his Jupiter Island home." The 34-year-old reportedly told friends she was planning on spending the holiday season in Palm Beach, where her socialite mother lives.

      *Tiger's high school girlfriend, Dina Parr, tells E! that Woods' own dad, Earl, also cheated in his marriage to the golfer's mother. "He would just call crying and say, 'My dad is with another woman,' and that would be all he could say," said Parr, who dated Woods in high school and his freshman year in college. "He would be so upset, so I just tried to be there for him and listen to him."  [Watch clip below.]
