1. According to our sources, she was indeed bragging about sleeping with Tiger Woods a while back. Uchitel has denied this. “I don’t appreciate my name or what people think of me being dragged through the mud by people who don’t even bother to research what or who they’re talking about," she told BlackBook. "They should research who these stories are coming from, who they’re believing as a credible source.” She says the Enquirer did contact her, but did not use any of her quotes. But we've asked around, and the people we've talked to say she was definitely claiming to have slept with him. "Rachel had told many friends of hers that she was sleeping with Tiger," said one nightlife source who is friendly with her. "She would subtly drop hints and sometimes talk about it openly." 
 
 2. She is a VIP relations director at Griffin nightclub. What the hell is that, you ask? Well, it's a person who brings in celebs or important clubgoers, who entertains them in the club (not, as you might guess, as a hooker) and controls who gets into VIP areas, etc. She's performed this role for Pink Elephant in Southampton this summer, for Marquee nightclub, and for places like Stanton Social and Dune. She got her start out in TAO Las Vegas, and her rapid rise may have had something to do with TAO and Marquee owner Jason Strauss, whom she has dated more than once. 
 
 3. She is not just a pretty face. She worked in a television production role at Bloomberg News for five years after college, according to BlackBook. 
 
 4. She has creatively named dogs. Her affenpinscher is named Ozzy Osbourne and her Brussels griffon is named Rudy Giuliani. 
 
 5. She means business. She has already flown to Los Angeles and been spotted with celebrity lawyer Gloria Allred, who has represented such high-profile women as Amber Frey in the Scott Peterson case, and one of the women who sued Sacha Baron Cohen after Borat came out. 
 
 6. She's dated other celebrities. "Although I’ve been romantically linked to a famous baseball player, a Broadway star, a musician, and various film and television actors," she told BlackBook, "I will never kiss and tell!" Or not. Most recently, she's been publicly linked with married Bones star David Boreanaz. 
 
 7. She actually has a sad backstory. She lost her fiancé in the World Trade Center after the 9/11 attacks. An old friend recognized her when her tearful face appeared on the cover of the New York Post. According to the Times, Steven Ehrenkranz — who'd met her when she was dating his friend Strauss the first time — got in touch and eventually the two fell in love and got married in late 2004. 
 
 8. She really loves that Jason Strauss. Uchitel and Ehrenkranz have since divorced, and she's pictured on Patrick McMullan making out with Strauss again as early as 2006. 
 
 9. She has a Paris Hilton eye situation. You can't see it in this picture, but you can detect it in other images of her from Patrick McMullan. It may just be a trick of the camera, but it may also explain why she was wearing sunglasses at night in these strange paparazzi pictures. As to why the paparazzi would know where or why to find her in the first place, we have no explanation. ||||| Party girl history of alleged Tiger Woods mistress Rachel Uchitel surfaces 
 
 Rossa Cole Alleged Tiger Woods mistress Rachel Uchitel loves the party spots in the Hamptons, Las Vegas and New York. 
 
 A banged-up Tiger Woods bowed out of his own golf tournament Monday as a Manhattan party girl stayed out of sight - days after denying she's his lover. 
 
 Woods released a brief statement saying he was too sore from his mysterious Friday night car crash to play in the tourney in Southern California, which raises money for the Tiger Woods Foundation. 
 
 "I am extremely disappointed that I will not be at my tournament this week," Woods said, blaming his absence on "injuries sustained in a one-car accident last week." 
 
 "I have some cuts, bruising and right now I'm pretty sore." 
 
 As Woods holed up in his Florida mansion, friends described how leggy stunner Rachel Uchitel - the daughter of a Palm Beach socialite - built a career in the glittery night life in Las Vegas, the Hamptons and New York, where she wrangles VIPs and celebrities for clubs. 
 
 The "drama queen" has tangled with more than one employer, sources said Monday. 
 
 "She's very aggressive when it comes to meeting celebrities," a Manhattan club source said. "That's her job: bring them into the club by any means necessary." 
 
 Black Eyed Peas member Will.i.am once asked for Uchitel's number and "within a week, they were having dinner," the source said. 
 
 The 34-year-old beauty worked at trendy Tao in Las Vegas and New York, as well as Marquee and the Stanton Social in Manhattan, during 2007. 
 
 But the relationship with the company that runs the hot spots soured just a year later when she was sued by the operation, court records show. 
 
 The suit, which was settled out of court, claimed Uchitel swiped inside secrets when she abruptly quit and went to work for the competition. 
 
 Uchitel worked this year at the Meatpacking District club Griffin, but she clashed with owners there, too, after insisting they did not pay her enough, sources said. 
 
 "She's a fire-starter and a drama queen," one source said. "It finally wasn't worth the drama with her." 
 
 There was big-time drama last week when the National Enquirer reported Uchitel had an affair with Woods, whose squeaky-clean image is matched only by his prowess on the golf course. 
 
 The story broke just as the links legend was banged up in a car accident early Friday, slamming into a fire hydrant and then a tree outside his Orlando mansion. 
 
 Several outlets have reported that Woods was fighting with his wife, Swedish supermodel Elin Nordegren, over the story before the smashup. 
 
 Uchitel has vehemently denied having an affair with Woods and declined comment Monday when reached on her cell phone. Her lawyer, Gloria Allred, also declined comment.
– Who is Rachel Uchitel, other than Tiger Woods' possible tigress? Check out need-to-know facts about the party girl, courtesy of the New York Daily News, New York magazine, E! Online, and in her own words to the New York Post: Though she now denies any involvement with Tiger, sources say Uchitel was bragging about sleeping with him not so long ago. She's been married once, as well as linked to Will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas, David Boreanaz, and Ryan Seacrest. She admits meeting Tiger twice, due to her job, but says, "I do not have sex with celebrities." She became an iconic image after losing her fiancé in the World Trade Center on September 11, showing up on the cover of the New York Post. She's the daughter of an "old money" Palm Beach socialite, and now makes her living in "VIP relations," bringing celebrities to swanky nightclubs "by any means necessary," a source says. A former employer sued her, accusing her of taking inside secrets to work for another club. One source calls her "a fire-starter and a drama queen." She says the tab's sources are just selling fake stories to the tabloids, calling one a "trainwreck" who "is just looking for a payday because she is a fucking hooker."
