A "Kobe Special" -- that's the topic of the day.

What's a "Kobe Special" pray tell?

TMZ.com alleges that Tiger Woods told a friend, "I need a Kobe Special," referring to the $4 million, 8-carat purple diamond ring Kobe Bryant bought his wife Vanessa Bryant from a jewelry store in Santa Monica mere days after Kobe was charged with sexually assaulting a 19-year-old woman in Colorado.

Meanwhile, the world seemingly waits outside the Isleworth-located entrance to Tiger Woods' Florida abode (like the AP Photo/John Raoux photo of  a Golf Channel reporter below) -- wanting to know more from Tiger Woods about what exactly precipitated his Thanksgiving night car crash.

If TMZ's report is true, needing a "Kobe Special" indicates leanings toward the rampant online reports of affair rumors being valid -- however Rachel Uchitel insists that the National Enquirer sources cited accusing her of an affair with Tiger Woods are lying.

Rachel Uchitel has reportedly retained counsel.

TMZ.com has a new video of Rachel Uchitel reportedly going to Los Angeles to meet with Gloria Allred.

They expect a press conference with Uchitel and Allred possibly Monday at 11:30 a.m. Pacific Time.

Before that, the Tiger Woods 911 call is scheduled to be released Sunday.
