Tiger Woods Divorce: Media reports it is almost final

The Tiger Woods Divorce that people thought would never happen is almost upon us. After quietly leaving The Masters (not a winner) the golf pro has once again slipped back into the darkness of the night with no word on what is going on with his forthcoming career.

On the personal side of life, several entertainment shows are saying that Elin and Tiger Woods will be divorced once the arrangement is agreed upon by attorneys. In addition is it reported that the two are no longer on speaking terms and will not be communicating in the future.

Elin was seen boarding a plane to visit her mom who is reportedly ailing. However, this couldn't be confirmed and the celebrity media and paparazzi have been kept at a distance from the

Did David Carradine Die From Sex Act?

Did David Carradine pull a Michael Hutchence?

Like the INXS singer, whose mysterious 1997 death in a Sydney hotel was believed to have been related to a sex act gone wrong, police in Thailand are focusing on the possibility that the star of Kung Fu and Kill Bill may have accidentally killed himself while engaging in autoerotic asphyxiation.

Autoerotic asphyxiation is a practice whereby a person intentionally cuts off oxygen to the brain for the purpose of sexual arousal.

A representative for the Bangkok Swissotel's Nai Lert Park hotel told E! News that a maid found the 72-year-old actor's naked body hanging in a closet in his luxury suite. Now, investigators quoted in the Thai news site the Nation are revealing that there was also a rope tied around his genitals.

"The two ropes were tied together," Police Lt. Gen. Worapong Chewprecha told reporters. "It is unclear whether he committed suicide or not, or he died of suffocation or heart failure."

A coroner completed an autopsy earlier today, but authorities say the results will not be released for at least three weeks, per standard procedure given the "unusual circumstances" surrounding Carradine's death and pending toxicology results.

Thai officials initially announced the erstwhile Grasshopper apparently committed suicide, but that theory was categorically shot down by Carradine's reps and shocked members of his family yesterday.

"I know for a fact that he did not commit suicide," comanager Tiffany Smith told E! News.

Her partner, Chuck Binder, wondered whether foul play may have played a part.

"I heard from a producer in Bangkok that his hands were tied behind his back and that it's being covered up," Binder said. "How do you get a rope around your neck and around your genitals and do all this by yourself?"

He continued: "The more I talk to people the more I think there's no way he killed himself. My take is there was definitely foul-play. There’s a lot of weird stuff that happens in Bangkok. This isn't L.A. or New York."

Fans of the prolific character actor should take comfort in knowing that Carradine had at least a half-dozen projects in the can at the time of his death. First up is a guest shot on Tuesday's episode of Mental.

PATH train service between N.J. and N.Y. halted by Journal Square fire

JERSEY CITY -- PATH train service between New Jersey and New York has been suspended due to an electrical fire in the PATH'S main control center in Jersey City's Journal Square, according to Port Authority spokesman Steve Coleman said.

Coleman said it was unclear how long it would take to get the trains rolling again. NJ Transit is honoring PATH tickets between New York and Hoboken during the outage. Service was stopped at 1:20 p.m. after the fire started in wiring at PATH's control center in Jersey City.

All trains on the tracks have been brought into the nearest station, according to a report in the Jersey Journal. Fire trucks were outside the building and the damage was being assessed, according to Coleman.

No injuries have been reported.

PATH, the Port Authority Trans-Hudson, is a rapid transit railroad linking Manhattan with New Jersey, and providing service to Jersey City, Hoboken, Harrison, and Newark. It is operated by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.

PATH has an average weekday ridership of about 250,000.

Jet America Airlines To Fly For 9 Dollars

(Jetamerica.com)Low cost airlines start to fly in the travelers' radar as Jet America Airlines introduces 9 dollar fares and will start operations on July 13. One wonders how is Jet America going to make money with 9 dollar fares? Or is this only to create some initial buzz?

Jet America Airlines 9 dollar fares will get the discount travelers from Newark, NJ to Toledo. There will be only nine seats in each flight that will cost nine dollars each. According to Tampabay Jet America Airlines will make money from additional fees, just like other low cost airlines.

Jet America Airlines opens for business today and some aspects of its business is modeled by other low cost successful European airlines such as Ryanair. Tampabay.com writes that "Jet America will charge an additional $20 for a round-trip with an assigned seat, $20 to buy a ticket by phone and $10 to book on the Web site (www.jetamerica.com). The airline will begin with one leased jet and grow to four planes in a year, said chief executive John Weikle, former boss at now-defunct Skybus. The four initial cities — Toledo, Ohio, South Bend, Ind., Lansing, Mich., and Melbourne on Florida's east coast — are subsidizing Jet America by waiving airport fees and helping with marketing and advertising."

According to Jaunted.com Jet Ameria Airlines is on track to deliver passengers on July 13 in a Boeing 737-800 jet from Toledo to Newark, N.J., Melbourne, Fla., Lansing, Mich., and South Bend, Ind.

By the way, don't confuse Jet America Airlines with the private jet service Jet America LTD. The later's website is Jetamerica.net while the website of Jet America Airlines is Jetamerica.com, which we could not access at this point. Probably many travelers are trying to book a flight.
