Tiger Woods is the new owner of a $65 million, 13,200-square-foot estate in Southampton, New York, according to the New York Post. Or is he? Radar Online says that the story is a fake, and Big Time Listings is remaining coy on the issue. So did he or didn't he? I'll let you know as soon as I get a solid answer. But in the meanwhile, let's take a look at the property in question.
The maybe-it's-Tiger's home is located on six acres, and includes both a six-bedroom mansion and a guest house that's a little over half the size of the main house, measuring in at 7,500 square feet. Both houses have views of the Atlantic and access to the beach. The mansion itself, which is called "By the Sea," also has a pool and spa, manicured gardens, a pond, and a tennis court. A tennis court? This isn't Pete Sampras's home. Where's the golf course — or at least indoor course for winter? Maybe it's in the works. Golf course or no, at least we can rest easy in the fact that if this is Tiger's pad, he and his wife Elin can present any fashion quandaries to neighbor Vera Wang.

I always rinse out my cans and bottles before I toss them in the recycling bin, but according to Ideal Bite, it's unnecessary. In fact, you'll be saving water if you don't rinse out your recyclables. The Ideal Bite team advises that you scrape out any peanut butter stuck in the jar, but any scouring beyond that is both excessive and unneeded. For more great green advice, check out Ideal Bite, or better yet, sign up for their online daily newsletter.

It's pretty rare that a sofa makes my Steal of the Day cut. But, at nearly 40 percent off, the Room & Board Townsend 64-inch Armless Sofa ($699, reduced from $1,100) in Doria Pepper certainly qualifies. No, it doesn't have arms, but its plump cushions look enticingly comfortable. Don't you just want to sink into it? I'd love to see it with a low-lying industrial coffee table or a steamer trunk. The "pepper" color is versatile too — perfect with some moody reds, ravishing raspberry or even some robin's egg blue.
Urban Outfitters has a new class of home furnishings in school that are quite delightful. I'm seeing a lot of ethnic-inspired embroidery, retro 70s prints, folky florals, and patterns in unlikely places. There's also the token dose of "F*ck Off It's My Birthday" Pint Glasses and Beer Goggles, which isn't quite my thing. For the good stuff, check out this widget to see what caught my eye.
