Monty Pics Blocked by 'Super Injunction', Owner Revealed?
Yesterday, we gave some context and depth to a conversation CBS Sports' David Feherty and radio host Dan Patrick had on-air revealing the existence of embarrassing photos of Colin Montgomerie.
We told you that a source tipped us off to the photos that News of the World was looking to obtain and publish. We were also told that Montgomerie and his representation at IMG had filed for a "super-injunction" in the UK court system.
The supposed "super-injunction" prohibits private items from being published in the press without the consent of the photograph owner(s). Also, the filing prohibits the defendants in the injunction from even mentioning that such a filing has even happened. The litigant is also anonymised. So long as the litigant maintains the super-injunction, the content in question - in this case, the photos - cannot be published.
What could be so embarrassing so as to seek a super-injunction? The photo(s) in question were described to us as "full on gimp mask, rubber ball in the mouth, whips, dog collar and dominatrix."
The rumors of the existence of these photos began at the Scottish Open and escalated at the Open Championship. I have been told the photos have been seen by eyes other than the owner. But who owns them?
A July 17 report in the Daily Mail may indicate the owner without expressly saying so. Paula Tagg - a Spanish model who was a brief flame of Montgomerie's in 2006 - is thought to be behind the recent questions about Monty. She has been rumored to team up with tabloid PR king Max Clifford and may be the photo owner.
The rumors flying fast are what lead to the bizarre question that Monty might resign from his captaincy. David Feherty, being an American citizen and the man behind the Mrs. Doubtfire moniker given to Monty, was able to reveal the news on American air.
Waggle Room contacted LeslieAnne Wade, CBS Sports' Senior VP for Communications, who issued a "no comment" on what Feherty said on air yesterday.

I blame American Idol :-)
A SUPER-injunction, eh ? A regular injunction just doesn’t carry the weight of the law anymore – we need a SUPER injunction ?

Which is...

You know – Demi Moore caused this same kind of problem in “A Few Good Men”…
Lt. Weinberg: “I strenuously object?” Is that how it works? Hm? “Objection.” “Overruled.” “Oh, no, no, no. No, I STRENUOUSLY object.” “Oh. Well, if you strenuously object then I should take some time to reconsider.”
"this ball will fit in that fairway"
I know as a golfer you're always trying to get 'in the leather',
but this is a bit extreme, Monty.
Seriously, we all might go blind if Pulp Fiction photos of Monty surface.
Or
Monty could become the Poster Boy for advertising in Dominatrix Magazine.
"pain is only weakness leaving the body"
Monty may not do well at the Masters, but sure does swell
with the Mistresses.
Someone Named Eldrick Must Surely Be Smiling
The hot spotlight of scorn and shame seems to be moving, and while Tiger may well have a lot of empathy for Colin Montgomerie’s situation vis a vis the press he is receiving he certainly must be relieved that someone else is receiving the attention for a change.
Hey GG...we nominate you to go
give it a try and report back….inquiring minds want to know….right Wendy?….STUB
