Lindsey Vonn announces breakup with Tiger Woods

Skier Linsday Vonn announced Sunday that she and Tiger Woods are parting ways, citing the strain of their busy schedules.

After nearly three years together, Tiger and I have mutually decided to end our relationship, Vonn said in a Facebook post.

I will always cherish the memories that weve created together. Unfortunately, we both lead incredibly hectic lives that force us to spend a majority of our time apart. I will always admire and respect Tiger. He and his beautiful family will always hold a special place in my heart.

There was no immediate response from Woods.

In a 2014 interview with CNN, Vonn credited Woods with helping her get through a career-threatening knee injury.

The two were spotted together last month at the Masters Tournament in Augusta, Georgia.

Fry sauce- Is this our claim to fame?

If our part of the country has its special food that is unique to us, I feel fry sauce could be a contender. You probably were thinking potatoes, but when it comes to something we feel is common and the rest of the country is clueless, then I think fry sauce is pretty special. You either love it or hate it. I love it. The combination of tangy, creamy, and savory. For me, it is actually a comfort food. I thought it was simply a mayo and ketchup mixture, but I was wrong. There is more to it than two plops and a stir. Now Im not trying to give the impression that there is something mysterious and complex about making fry sauce. As much as I enjoy it, it is still after all just a dip. But just like with many other recipes, a few ingredients can make all the difference. So, if you still feel that potatoes are our special food, then fry some up with a little fry sauce on the side.

Each of Lamoreau's costumes was elaborate. One included an accessory in the form of a dead raccoon that he ordered from eBay and stuffed for the occasion.

"It was really hard, and I am not going to do it again," he said with a laugh about his taxidermy skills.

Lamoreau has been assuming the role of superheros with the Portland Superhero Coalition for years.

"It's nice to do stuff for children," he said. "It also makes them smile, which is cool."

Mike Olson brought his 6-year-old son Ronin, who was dressed as a ninja.

"When we come out here it's always a good time with the kids, especially when they get to dress up," he said. "It's also a fun way to introduce the kids to comics."

Store owner Tony Grove said that while the event's purpose was primarily fun, it was also a good way to help out the community.

Throughout the day the store accepted donations for the Keizer Community Food Bank in exchange for pictures with the Star Wars 501st costume group and the Portland Superhero Coalition.

Johnny Weir and Tara Lipinski (and Their Hats) Head to Louisville to Cover ...

It's Kentucky Derby time, but Johnny Weir who will be covering this weekend's festivities with his sidekick Tara Lipinski for NBC isn't focusing on the horses.

It's his headgear he's been concentrating on for the past week.

"[My hat] last year it was very literal," Weir tells PEOPLE. "It was called Pegasus, but this year it's a little more conceptual. I've entitled it 'To the Victor Goes the Spoils.' Think of that what you will, but it's going to be very aggressive and very fun and I'll be very proud to wear it."

This weekend's 141st running of the Kentucky Derby marks the second consecutive year that the two figure skating analysts will arrive in Louisville, Kentucky, with suitcases full of outfits and hats, looking to chronicle the local color at the event.

"We're not commentating on the horses," says Lipinski, "and this event is just so much more than that. You have the hats and the fashion and the mint juleps, and it's just such a big, fun, social event. ... I couldn't wait to get back this year."

Just for the record, American Pharoh is the 5-2 favorite to win the Derby and claim the $1.24 million first-place prize money on May 2. The bay colt will be ridden by jockey Victor Espinoza, who has won the event twice, including last year's win on California Chrome.

Weir insists that the most "shocking" thing about the race isn't what happens out on the track. "I think the most shocking thing about the Kentucky Derby is the line at the airport to leave," he says. "That's shocking in a bad way, because everyone tries to get out the next morning all at the same time and it takes forever."
