Troubled Tiger Woods is the latest celebrity to get the South Park treatment.

Trailers for the new series of the cartoon comedy show a clip of Woods making his mea culpa – with Cartman by his side.

In the episode, called All The Temptations, Woods will be seen claiming he can get away with anything and that he is rightfully entitled to enjoy all the temptations around him. In the episode the golfer will also have a run-in with characters Stan, Kyle and Kenny in their home town of Colorado.

South Park co-creator, Matt Stone, said the golfer had given them so much material they “could have made an entire Tiger-centric season”.

Stone, who makes the series with partner Trey Parker, said: “It’s such an important issue in America right now – the sex addiction outbreak. We’re all really concerned about him and hope he gets better. There’s a delicacy in talking about [Woods] that we don’t have to worry about.”

Troubled Tiger Woods has been given the full South Park treatment.

The cartoon mocked the golfer and other celebrities who have claimed to be suffering from sex addition including Charlie Sheen, David Letterman, David Duchovny and Billy Bob Thornton.

The episode, the premiere of the 14th series, was titled Sexual Healing.

It began with the South Park boys playing their latest video game – EA Sports Tiger Woods PGA Tour 11 for X-Box – featuring a fully playable recreation of what many people believed happened the night Tiger crashed his car sparking the sex scandal.

In the computer game, Elin chases after Tiger with a golf club smashing the windows out of his 4×4 until it crashes into a tree.

“I didn’t know golf games were this cool,” says Kyle.

Meanwhile, a group of concerned South Park scientists cross paths with the children in school as they try to find the answer to the question of what could be causing rich, successful men to seek sexual favours from women who are not their wives.

After conducting tests, the scientists discover Kenny, Kyle and Butters are suffering from the new outbreak of sex addiction and warn them they must get treatment or face an early death.

The boys enter the celebrity rehab where Tiger Woods is also a patient, but treatment comes to late for Kenny who dies attempting auto-erotic-asphyxiation while dressed up as Batman.

The pop singer has recently expressed his intentions of starting a cartoon company, especially if his records stop selling. Mika said the following: “I might continue making music until I die but there’s also a chance I might quit soon. There’s a chance people think, ‘We’re done with that Mika.’ In that case I’d start a cartoon company. I’m a good artist and designer.” They have companies for making cartoons now? How does Mika honestly expect to compete with the big boys from the movie industry, it’s not like you can just make your own little cartoon factory and sell them in the neighborhood, those days have long gone.

By the power of Grayskull – He-Man is on his way back to the big screen.

The 1980s cult cartoon character, based on a Mattel toy line, is being revived on the back of the success of the Transformers conversion into a franchise.

Masters Of The Universe was a TV hit set in the magical land of Eternia, featuring a prince who turned into the heroic He-Man after uttering the words “By the power of Grayskull, I have the power!”

But following the footsteps of James Bond and Batman, the new version will be a grittier fantasy – in contrast to the campy 1987 flop starring Dolph Lundgren.

The film is set to be directed by Kung Fu Panda’s John Stevenson and will feature Prince Adam as a soldier, who sets off to find his destiny, according to Variety.com.

There, he will face his villainous foe Skeletor, who has raised a technological army bent on destroying magic.

Hollywood studio Warner Bros has just hired newcomer Evan Daugherty to re-write the script for the film. No actors have been confirmed yet.

Motley Crue’s Tommy Lee has signed on to supply the voice to a cartoon character in ‘The Life and Times of Jimmy Jaxx’. Smart Entertainment, the company behind the project, is basing the story on the life of Tommy.

It is about an out-of-control rockstar on the road who, when he gets home, reverts back to the mild-mannered family man.

Tommy’s character is led by his tattoos. They come to life when he is away from home and lead him into constant trouble.

The show is currently in development by Smart Entertainment to screen on the Fox Network.

If you’re wondering where Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony got the idea of naming their twins Max and Emme, look no further than you’re TV. The twins may have gotten their names from a PBS cartoon called ‘Dragon Tales’ – it’s a kids show about a brother and sister named Max and Emmy who socialize with dragons. The show is made to help children learn life lesson through the sibling’s adventures and mixes in Spanish language to promote a bilingual experience for the audience. How come they didn’t choose to name them Dora and Diego? That pair of names works too.

The brains behind “Alvin and the Chipmunks” has reportedly been had by Capitol Records and now they’re filing suit. A lawsuit has been filed by Bagdasarian Productions against Capitol saying that the record company used a number of Chipmunk songs without permission. In 1968, creator Ross Bagdasarian made an agreement with Capitol stating that they had recording rights to the music and that’s it. Capitol allegedly pilfered the music by making money in movies and other ventures outside the recording industry.

Why take so long to sue? According to the suit, shortly after Ross made the agreement, he moved on from the project and then died suddenly in 1972. The family only saw the agreement in 2007.
