The past week, from last Friday to today, has been Tiger Woods overload. It snowballed out of nowhere and the PGA star has seen his world turned upside down, over something that could otherwise have been kept a family matter.
NY Daily News pulled together a whole bunch of ZOMG WTF! reactions from celebrities thrilled to be asked and linked to the scandal. A little scandal is good for everyone, as they get to chime in their ten cents. Their ten cents happens to be worth around two cents, because nothing they say makes any sense. But someone saw fit to pull together a list of quotes from quite a few celebrities.
George Clooney offered his reaction to the scandal while at the premiere for of his new film, Up in the Air. The rest offered their opinions on Twitter. If you can stand the hypocrisy and sarcasm, check below for the celebrity reactions with a few links to the tweets I added so you can see them for yourself.
- George Clooney reaction to Tiger Woods cheating scandal: “I never get mad. But I do I get mad at Stan [Rosenfield, his publicist] sometimes but what I do is hit him,” the actor joked to FoxNews.com. “I hit him with a golf club the other day…you heard about that?”

To everyone who thought that Tiger Woods was the messiah, now we all know that Tiger Woods can commit sins.
Who aren’t sinners? Please speak up. Hyprocrisy!!! Jim Carrey, love your sarcasm! Tiger, you’re still the man. Next time, go for super models. Those 3 skanks you with are fugly!
I think the media reaction was crazy – the cheating is news, but not as big as some bloggers are making it out to be.
