The Board of Directors of the Golf Writers Association of America voted Thursday to boycott attending a public statement Tiger Woods will give Friday. "I cannot stress how strongly our board felt that this should be open to all media and also for the opportunity to question Woods," GWAA president Vartan Kupelian said.

No one thinks this is the right way to do it that I've talked to. They think he needs to answer questions." If Logan could ask his own question at the press conference, he says it would be, "What the heck were you thinking? How do you explain this behavior?

Real women are joining Marie Osmond in speaking out for heart health in the Go Red for Women campaign -- and ET talks to the NutriSystem spokeswoman who has a very personal reason for taking part. "My mother on her death bed, she said, 'Marie, don't do what I did. Take care of yourself,'" Marie tells ET.
