Rachel Uchitel wearing a sexy bikini behind her dog with a walk on the beach

After weeks of feeling the heat from the Tiger Woods scandal, bikini-clad beauty Rachel Uchitel is feeling the heat of a different kind - that of a sun-soaked beach. The 34-year-old club hostess has distanced herself from reports of the champion golfer's alleged infidelities, other than to deny having an affair with him. And it looked as though she didn't have a care in the world as she took in the Florida sunshine during a Christmas break with friends

The native New Yorker is currently holidaying in Palm Beach, which just happens to be seven miles from where Woods moors his luxury yacht called 'Privacy'.

Although she has publicly denied an affair, a source told the New York Post that Miss Uchitel claimed to have met Woods during a party held by Derek Jeter, who plays for the New York Yankees, at his apartment. 'This girl has a real history of sleeping with rich, powerful and famous people,' a friend told the Post. 'Rachel is going to end up going on Oprah, telling her story - and doing Playboy.'

It's reported that Woods, 33, has been spending his days in seclusion in a house he owns near the family home in Windermere, Florida, eating cereal and watching cartoons.

It's claimed his devastated wife recently ripped up their pre-nuptual agreement during another blazing row.

Tiger reportedly offered "tens of millions" to Elin Nordegren, 29, in a new deal to save his marriage.

But the former model tore up their original agreement, said a friend, adding: 'She'd take all his money if she could and she definitely wants the kids.'

His Swedish-born wife, Elin Nordegren, has made it clear to associates that she is pushing forward with a divorce.

She is believed to be meeting celebrity attorney Sorrell Trope - who has represented Nicole Kidman and Britney Spears - and could get up to £169million of his fortune.

Meanwhile it's thought Rachel has hired an expensive, high-profile Los Angeles attorney. Lawyer Gloria Allred acted for OJ Simpson and Michael Jackson and Spice Girl Melanie B in her paternity suit against Eddie Murphy.

She declares herself: 'Fearless lawyer, feminist, activist, television and radio commentator, warrior, advocate, and winner - Gloria Allred is all of these things and more.

Miley Cyrus enjoys steamy kiss clinch in her car with Liam Hemsworth

Absence makes the heart go fonder - just ask Miley Cyrus. The 17-year-old was caught in a very passionate clinch with her on-again boyfriend Liam Hemsworth, 20, in Los Angeles today. The Disney star was dropping the Australian actor off after an outing together, with the couple's farewell kissing session lingering for more than ten minutes.

Hemsworth's spokesperson revealed the pair, who first met on the set of teen drama The Last Song in 2009, had split last month. But it's clear their separation is most certainly over. The first sign they had rekindled their romance came over the weekend when they were spotted running errands together.

The pair could barely keep their hands off each other

An eyewitness told People: 'Miley and Liam kept smiling and seemed to really enjoy their afternoon together. 'They acted like they had missed each other, kept chatting and seemed to be catching up. They definitely seemed like a couple again. 'Since Miley returned to LA from [a movie shoot in] Europe earlier in the week, she has acted a bit tired and worn out,' the source continued. 'With Liam back in her life on Saturday, she acted totally different and, instead, seemed very happy.

It was clear the couple didn't want to part ways

Liam eventually left the car and headed for home'

It looked like Miley and Liam had never been apart, and they were back into their old routine.' Miley has been filming LOL: Laugh Out Loud alongside Ashley Greene and Demi Moore in recent months. She plays the lead role of Lola in the coming-of-age film about a school girl and her friends making their way in a world connected by YouTube iTunes, and Facebook. During filming Miley was spotted getting cosy on and off-screen with her handsome male co-star, Douglas Booth.

Britney Spears almost loses her bikini top

Britney Spears gets a little over amorous as she puts on a very public display of affection with boyfriend Jason Trawick. The couple, who are on a break in Hawaii together, were pictured frolicking in the sea together, sharing tender hugs and kisses. But at one point the singer looked in danger of losing her bikini top, which appeared to have come undone as she wrapped her legs around her other half.

In any case the green two piece looked slightly on the small side, with the 28-year-old pop star showing neathage (or under cleavage). After taking a dip, the love-struck duo shared a romantic stroll along the beach, walking hand in hand. Yesterday they enjoyed another beach trip, with Britney unveiling her toned beach body after managing to get her dancer's legs back in just two weeks.

Her boyfriend Jason, 44, was also looking in good shape, and showed off his washboard stomach in a pair of boarding short. He cut a very different image to that of Britney's ex and father of her two children, former dancer Kevin Federline, who was pictured looking bigger than ever in Miami yesterday. Britney, however, has managed to turn things around lately and got back in shape - probably spurred on by the recent gust slot she filmed in hit TV show Glee.

Security was bumped up on the LA set when she went to film her part to avoid details being leaked. 'It was literally like the President had come,’ series’ creator Ryan Murphy told E!Online of the pop star's visit. 'We all had to wear wristbands. I couldn't get into my own sets at one point, which I thought was hilarious.

Everybody was sort of trying to get into the set and find out what the hell she's doing in the episode.’ The pop princess is said to be making her appearance in episode two of the second series of Glee, in an instalment entitled Britney/Brittany. She reportedly appears in the ether-induced fever dreams of the Glee club members after they visit the local dentist. At least six Britney songs are understood to feature in the hotly-anticipated episode.

The star has also been hard at work recording new material, recording her follow-up to her 2008 album Circus. That had a fraught gestation, as it followed her very public breakdown in February 2007 when she shaved her head, as well as her spell on a mental health ward in January 2008. And after a police raid, she her lost custody of her children, Sean Preston, four, and Jayden James, three. Since then, Britney has found stability with boyfriend Jason despite ditching him as her manager after completing fifth highest grossing tour of 2009 with Circus show.

Beyonce is known for always looking pristine and well put together but she looked like a drowned rat after toppling off her jet ski while on holiday in the South of France.The singer was having fun racing along the ocean but fell into the sea, fully clothed, and had to be helped back on to her ride by one of her minders.

Wearing a floral mini dress, sunglasses and big hoop earrings, Beyonce looked dressed more for a night out than for a high speed race on the ocean.

Beyonce was using The Altitude's Yamaha waverunner when she had her mishap, which she has used regularly on the trip. The only thing that was bruised was probably her ego as her friends in the nearby boat looked on.

How to get him to commit

Elise Nersesian

It happened slowly, over time. Relationships became less defined, and now it's often hard to know if you're actually in one. "Even if a guy acts like a boyfriend, he may not be committed," says Scott Haltzman, M.D., author of The Secrets of Happily Married Women. "Online dating gives you so many choices that some guys prefer to keep their options open."

That's where Facebook comes in—not only does it connect men with new potential mates, it also keeps them in touch with old flames. "Our studies show that 80 percent of people keep in contact with their exes through social-networking sites," says Amy Muise, a Ph.D. candidate in the department of applied social psychology at the University of Guelph in Ontario. "With all these reminders of the past, it can become harder for men to live in the present and make their relationships official."

The provider complex

But perhaps the biggest factor that's keeping men perpetually single is the economy. Significantly more men than women have lost their jobs. In fact, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, roughly 75 percent of lost jobs have been to men since the recession began. Understandably, guys feel overwhelming pressure to focus solely on their careers. "Many men have decided they simply can't afford to have a girlfriend right now," says Bethany Marshall, Ph.D., author of Deal Breakers. "They don't have the money to buy expensive dinners or fancy gifts." Nor do they feel they have the time or energy necessary for making a relationship work.

As a result, many couples (and we're using that term loosely) fall into a gray area that sort of resembles a relationship but lacks the exclusivity and respect that a real romance requires. And this state of being may suit men better than women. "It's important to women to know where they stand," Marshall says. "They are relational by nature and need to know their role with a man in order to feel comfortable."

How to make him your boyfriend

According to research, women have a greater chance of landing a boyfriend when they don't have sex on the first date. "Even if he's trying to angle his way upstairs, men actually enjoy waiting," advises Haltzman. Log three or four dates before sleeping with him. If that's too retro for you, at least limit the number of nights you hang out. "Don't skip yoga or happy hour just because he wants to see you," says Marshall. "Not always being available keeps the mystery alive."

Also, when he asks what you want to do on a date, throw out something low-key, like dinner at a bar or a bike ride. That will take the pressure off him financially, and you'll appear fun and unpretentious—qualities all men admire.

Done all that and he's still not committing? It's time to articulate your desires. "Guys may hate 'the talk,' but it's fair for you to express that you would like to be exclusive," Haltzman says. Try saying something like, "I'm having fun with you and I don't really want to see other people anymore. Do you?" If he says he can't commit, break it off. Sometimes, realizing you're slipping away is what gives him the kick in the butt to hold on.

Talk to Your Boyfriend So He'll Listen

Ever notice how even the nicest guy can act like an insensitive dolt when you're trying to convey something important—your fear of being fired, that you're drifting apart from your best friend, even how bummed you are that the two of you have hit a sexual dry spell? It's not that he doesn't care—really it isn't—it's just that men process information much differently than women, and as a result, your words often get lost in translation. But don't stress, the solution is simple: Learn how to talk to your man. We've got great communicating tips.

Talk side by side

If you're broaching a potentially sticky subject (stuff like your wanting to get married, or his partying too much), avoid a face-to-face conversation. "Although it seems counterintuitive, insisting on eye contact while hashing out an issue can actually make the problem worse," says Scott Haltzman, M. D., co-author of The Secrets of Happily Married Women. Looking him directly in the eye can make him feel threatened—and when confronted, men instinctively kick into survival mode, triggering a fight-or-flight response. To put him at ease, talk to your boyfriend while you're doing something side by side—walking, driving, eating dinner together on the sofa.

Cut to the chase

According to a study recently published in the journal NeuroImage, the male brain interprets men's voices as speech and women's voices as music. That's why he can easily focus when one of his buddies drones on about some lame computer game, yet has to work overtime to concentrate on your bitch-of-a boss tale. To ensure that he hangs on your every word, make your point as quickly as possible. "Men want to get to the bare bones of the matter," Haltzman says. "So grab his attention by using direct statements such as 'Here's why I'm upset' or 'The bottom line is this.'"

Let him know you need to vent

When you're telling your guy about your backstabbing best friend and he looks confused, it's not because you're not explaining yourself clearly or he's slow on the uptake. Biological differences make men innate problem solvers; the furrowed brow indicates that his mind is scrambling to find a solution. "When a woman presents a man with a dilemma, he interprets this as a request to fix her problem, not to simply listen," Haltzman says. Clue him in by letting him know what you need before you make your point. Try prefacing your story with "I just really need to get this off my chest." By telling him what you expect up front, he'll know what to do and be able to give you what you really want: his ear.

Stroke his ego

If it seems like every time you ask him for a favor your words go in one ear and out the other, you may need to butter him up more. Men are brimming with testosterone, which makes them competitive, and compliments help them feel important and superior. Let's say he never hangs out with your friends. Feed his ego by saying something like "You're so funny! Actually, my friends could use some cheering up. Can you come out with us tonight?" The positive reinforcement will challenge him to rise to the occasion, and the vote of confidence will make him feel needed.

Make Him Feel Like a Man

Steve Friedman

.

I consider myself a feminist. Raised by a charter subscriber to Ms. magazine, I was brought up to believe in gender equality--that men and women were on level playing fields in the world. I've never flinched at having a female boss. I stumped for Hillary Clinton. I even once dated a woman who knew how to drive a backhoe.

So I never thought twice about hooking up with Allie (not her real name), an orthopedic surgeon who was smart, accomplished, and pulling in far more money than I. Was I bothered? Not a bit. I never understood men who didn't admire success in the women they loved. Sure, we might crack wise about wishing for partners who were chronically adoring, relentlessly agreeable, and handy with a spatula. But the truth is, unless a guy watched too many Leave It to Beaver reruns as a kid, he wants a woman who's his intellectual and emotional equal. At least I wanted someone like that.

Or I thought I did. Until Black Thursday—otherwise known as the day that Allie and I made the big mistake of going rollerblading together. You see, what started out as a friendly challenge turned into a spirited race, and then into something else entirely. In short, Allie ended up leaving me in a trail of dust. And my male ego didn't like it.

The following Sunday, I was still ticked off. We were standing in her kitchen. I had done the dishes—that proved my postmodern feminist bona fides, right?—and I was silently (maybe too silently) arranging our bagels and lox on the table.

"Is there something you want to talk about?" Allie asked.

"What do you mean?" "You've been acting weird ever since we went rollerblading."

"As I already mentioned, I had a leg cramp. Plus, I was distracted because I was worried about a deadline," I said.

"I never make excuses when you beat me at thumb wrestling," my beloved pointed out.

"Which you do every time, because your hands are twice as big as mine. But I beat you at one thing, and you're a sulky 2-year-old."

"I am not!" "Riiiiiight."

"Plus, my wheels really need rotating."

"Fact: I play your silly thumb-wrestling game because you like it, even though it's not an even a contest," Allie said. "Fact: I beat you at rollerblading. Fact: You've been a jerk ever since."

"Can we not discuss this?" I shot back. Allie shook her head as I glared at my untouched but (if I do say so myself) perfectly prepared sesame bagel with lox and cream cheese. "Steve," my wealthy, accomplished, and occasionally wise girlfriend said, "maybe you ought to think about why getting beat by me drives you nuts."

She had a point, of course. After all, wasn't I—a man dedicated to gender-neutral hiring practices and the wholesale shattering of glass ceilings—supposed to be beyond this? Wasn't I—a man who wanted an equal partner—supposed to celebrate my girlfriend's strength and embrace her all-around awesomeness? Even when that awesomeness translated into athletic defeat for yours truly?
