Tiger Woods has just announced that he plans to return to the PGA Tour to compete in the 2010 Masters tournament, which begin April 8. Woods said in a statement, "The Masters is where I won my first major and I view this tournament with great respect. After a long and necessary time away from the game, I feel like I'm ready to start my season at Augusta." This is of course only part of the Tiger news this week; though "The View" notes above that he and his wife Elin have reportedly moved back in with each other, Radar Online then contradicted their scoop yesterday. This is exhausting, but I can help: For all the tiger news you need, click here.
Last night, "Family Guy" paid homage to "Tootsie," and if that sounds like a weird premise for an episode, it is. But, it did allow for a few silly non sequiturs, and of course, a lot of borderline-offensive ones. You've done it again, Seth MacFarlane! Let's talk about the episode after the jump.

Last week, this season of "Survivor" got its first taste of betrayal, as Cirie was blindsided at Tribal Council and sent packing. This week we had an injury, a reward, sassiness, and of course, an ultimate winner and loser. Let's see who they were, after the jump.

As we mentioned previously, last week Tara and I caught an advance screening of "Green Zone," or as I've lovingly retitled it, "The Bourne Iraq-ity." And, since this is 2010 and we live in a world of wonder, we've broken from tradition and recorded a podcast of our thoughts instead of our normal transcribed IM conversation. Be advised, there are a few SPOILERS in the podcast above, for which I apologize. What can I say -- suspenseful action movies set in war zones excite me. Please enjoy, and check back next week to vote in the poll for the next movie Tara and I review in our Movie Monday series.
11:56:36 AM Tara Ariano: We've seen "A Christmas Carol." We've seen "The Wolfman." And with last night's "Alice in Wonderland," I think that's going to be it for Victorian England for a while.
11:57:28 AM Will Edmondson: Yeah, imagine how cranky you would've been if we'd seen "Sherlock Holmes"!
11:57:48 AM Tara Ariano: I had the pleasure of seeing that with my parents. I think my dad only snored a little.
11:59:12 AM Will Edmondson: At least this wasn't really Victorian England. Victorian England on an acid trip, maybe. Tim Burton really ran with the ball on this one.
We asked you to vote on what movie Tara and I will have to see next week, and the results are in:
"Alice in Wonderland": 61%
"Brooklyn's Finest": 11%
"Shutter Island": 28%
In a landslide, next week's movie will be the Tim Burton adaptation of "Alice in Wonderland"! A very merry unbirthday to us, indeed. "Shutter Island" put up a valiant fight, but my guess is that once our readers found out "Alice" was in 3D, it was all over. Thanks for playing, "Brooklyn's Finest," third prize is your fired. Look for our "Alice in Wonderland" recap next week, and stay tuned for a special announcement about the 8th "Monday Movie." Thanks for voting!
"The Tonight Show" had an interview last night with a guy who doesn't know how to let go of the career he loves. You see, this is a guy who's walked away from his passion, only to return to it a few months later. People say he's washed up, but he defies the odds and keeps trotting out to go to work whenever he's needed by his employers. Some people love the guy, others loathe him, but one thing's for sure: Matthew McConaughey was really pumped to be sitting next to Brett Favre during the above interview.
Oh, you thought I was talking about Jay Leno?
Well, last night's episode of "Survivor" was something, wasn't it? Crying, laughing, skidding on giant slip-n-slides, and a rerun of that challenge that almost killed the other Russell from "Survivor: Samoa"! You know what else that episode had? Winners and losers, and lots of them. Let's talk about who they were, after the jump.

Last week, you voted for Tara and me to see "Cop Out," and now that we've recapped it, we're on to the next one. This week, we've got an obvious frontrunner in the poll, which you may have picked up on based on the enormous thumbnail, above. Let's go through the looking glass (GET IT?), and see the other nominees, after the jump.

11:07:50 AM Will Edmondson: Tara, per our readers' mandate, we saw "Cop Out" last night, and I, for one, feel pretty okay about it.
11:08:19 AM Tara Ariano: I didn't have especially high expectations for it (quite the contrary, in fact), but I was pleasantly surprised!
11:09:02 AM Will Edmondson: You seemed to be dreading it!
11:09:19 AM Tara Ariano: It was getting pretty horrendous reviews (like Richard Roeper's, above), so I had cause.
11:10:22 AM Will Edmondson: Yeah, and we'll get to that later, because wow, some people do not like Kevin Smith!
