A second woman has come forward to allege an affair with golfer Tiger Woods, and she says she has voice mails and text messages from Woods to back it up. Jaimee Grubbs, a 24-year-old cocktail waitress at an L.A. club, tells Us Weekly magazine that she was involved with Woods beginning in April 2007, up to as recently as October of this year.

Grubbs claims that they had more than 20 sexual encounters, and has more than 300 text messages, some of it considered 'sexting', from Woods, and voice mails, including this one, reportedly Woods, exclusively at Us Weekly's web site.

"Hey, it's Tiger," the voice says. "I need you to do me a huge favor. Can you please take your name off your phone? My wife went through my phone and may be calling you. So if you can, please take your name off that. Just have it as a number on the voicemail. You got to do this for me. Huge. Quickly. Bye."

Grubbs has appeared on a reality TV show, VH1's "Tool Academy," and other contestants on the show say that she often bragged of the affair, including on-air, but that it was left on the editing room floor by the network.

One of TV's favorite moms has come out. Meredith Baxter, who played Elyse Keaton on the 1980's sitcom "Family Ties," came out as a lesbian this morning on the Today show. Baxter said it was a "later-in-life recognition," and that she only came to the realization in the last few years, "Some people would say, well, you’re living a lie and, you know, the truth is – not at all. This has only been for the past seven years."

Baxter was being targeted by Perez Hilton, who has forced other celebrities out of the closet, including Lance Bass and Neil Patrick Harris, and she felt the need to come forward. "I did not want some tabloid to take the story and make it up -- I wanted it to be in my own words," Baxter told Today's Matt Lauer.

The Grammy nominations are due out soon, and there is controversy around Lady Gaga. Lady Gaga is ineligible for the Best New Artist category, despite selling more than 1.5 million copies of her debut album. Why is she ineligible? She was nominated last year in the Best Dance Recording category, for her single "Just Dance," and that disqualifies her for Best New Artist.
