It’s a high price for silence.

Wronged wife Elin Nordegren is trying to club an eye-popping $750 million out of Tiger Woods in their divorce negotiations, according to reports Friday.

Woods hasn’t agreed yet, but if he does he wants total silence from his soon-to-be ex about the collapse of their marriage – forever, according to the Chicago Sun-Times.

Nordegren has so far said no to signing a lifetime “confidentiality clause” that would prevent her from writing a book or doing any interviews about the split.

She reportedly also wants full custody of their two kids even though it was first thought the couple were going to agree to joint custody.

Sources said the divorce negotiations “have turned extremely testy” and the couple no longer talk to each other.

Nordegren has spent a lot of time away from Woods in recent months. She went to Arizona alone for nearly a week recently and took the kids to Sweden while Woods played golf.

Woods, meanwhile, is hanging out in Florida with a blond woman, who looks a lot like Elin, RadarOnline reported.

A jury acquitted a man Friday of killing up-and-coming Atlanta rapper Dolla during a shooting last year at a crowded, upscale Los Angeles mall.

Jurors rejected prosecutors’ contentions that the killing of Dolla, whose real name was Roderick Anthony Burton II, was a callous act of apparent revenge.

Burton and his accused shooter, Aubrey Louis Berry, had been involved in a fight at an Atlanta club less than two weeks before the shooting last May.

Berry’s attorney had contended the shooting was an act of self-defense, emphasizing that Burton – a protege of hip-hop artist Akon – glorified a violent gangster lifestyle in his rap lyrics and online videos.

Berry, who has remained jailed since the May 18, 2009, shooting, hugged his attorney but was otherwise unemotional after the verdict.

Burton’s mother, Dayna Robinson, sobbed.

“Oh please, somebody help me,” Robinson said, as she and other family members filed out of the courtroom.

Deputy District Attorney Bobby Grace painted Berry as a killer who methodically aimed at Burton during the shooting, then ordered a valet to retrieve his rented sport utility vehicle while still clutching his gun.

In his closing arguments Monday, Grace claimed Berry had no remorse.

“Defendant Berry murdered Roderick Burton in cold blood, then tried to escape to Atlanta,” Grace said.

Berry brought the gun to a business lunch at the mall. The men spotted each other at a restaurant and exchanged words in the valet area. It was then, Grace said, that Berry pulled his weapon and used it “as an instrument of death in a symphony of violence.”

Grace said Berry drove around Burton as he was dying and began to plot his escape.

Defense Attorney Howard Price, however, painted a very different picture of Berry, who was soft-spoken last week as he testified about a series of incidents that led up to the shooting.

The college-educated Berry said he worked in commercial marketing, in the music industry, and “never killed anything” growing up. Price portrayed Burton, conversely, as someone who proclaimed a violent streak, bragging in his lyrics about carrying guns, singing “You be running when I shoot, I be shooting where you running” in one tune.

Price said Berry opened fire because Burton threatened to kill him and he feared he had a gun. The 24-year-old Atlanta resident was fearful because he believed the rapper had gang ties.

The jury on Friday found Berry not guilty of first degree murder and all other charges, including assault with a firearm.

Grace looked dazed after the verdict was read.

“Obviously, I’m disappointed,” he told reporters.

When asked about Burton’s gangster image, Grace said he hoped that wasn’t the tipping point for the jurors.

“I would hate to think that the jurors’ decision was based solely on lyrics,” he said. “It appears they believed what the defendant had to say.”

A 5,000-square-foot condo owned by British composer Andrew Lloyd Webber is on the market for a third time with a price tag of $19 million.

Christie’s Great Estates announced Friday that the duplex overlooking Central Park is for sale. The property is located on the 59th and 60th floors of Trump Tower.

The Lloyd Webber family bought the unit in 1987 for $5.5 million. It was listed in 2000 for $15 million and in 2007 for $22.5 million.

Agent Penny Toepfer said she believes the owner is “emotionally committed” to selling the property this time. The family has been reassessing its property needs following Andrew Lloyd Webber’s treatment for prostate cancer, Christie’s Great Estates said.

The condo features two floors connected by a curved staircase. The lower level has four bedrooms, while the upper level includes entertaining and living spaces. The unit offers park views from almost every room and a sitting area and den with a wet bar and temperature-controlled wine cellar.

Lloyd Webber is perhaps best known for “Phantom of the Opera,” a musical that has been seen by more than 100 million people worldwide. His latest work, “Love Never Dies” – a sequel to “Phantom” – has received mixed reviews from London critics and is set to open in New York in spring 2011.

According to his website, Lloyd Webber has won seven Tony Awards, three Grammy Awards, a Golden Globe and an Oscar.

Also on Friday, the parent company of Christie’s Great Estates announced that it will be auctioning The Andrew Lloyd Webber Foundation’s iconic “Portrait of Angel Fernandez de Soto” by Pablo Picasso at the June 23 Impressionist and Modern Art sale in London. Proceeds will go to the foundation’s promotion of arts, culture and heritage in Britain, the Christie’s International release said.

Sources said they’ve been chatting about TV projects since being introduced by friends in LA.

Despite a false report in a downmarket magazine that Reinhardt was dating new Miss USA Rima Fakih, Reinhardt has in fact been getting friendly with her predecessor, at least over the phone.

Dalton has dated “The Bachelorette” star Reid Rosenthal on and off for seven months. Rosenthal was at the Miss USA Pageant at Planet Hollywood last weekend to support her, with a Tiffany gift in hand.

Bret Michaels is expected to attend the season finale of “The Celebrity Apprentice” despite suffering what doctors called a warning stroke earlier this week.

His publicist, Joann Mignano, said the rocker is receiving outpatient care and will be in in New York on Sunday for the season’s final episode of the NBC show.

Mignano previously confirmed Michaels had been diagnosed with a patent foramen ovale, or hole in the heart.

Doctors said the condition is operable and treatable and likely unrelated to the brain hemorrhage he suffered last month.

The 47-year-old, rocker-reality TV star was hospitalized this week after experiencing numbness on the left side of his body, particularly in his face and hands.

Lindsay Lohan is expected in court next week after missing a mandatory hearing on Thursday.

Lohan’s attorney, Shawn Chapman Holley, says the 23-year-old actress will return to Los Angeles on Saturday and appear in court Monday morning.

After a few breezy days at the Cannes Film Festival, where she attended various events to promote her Linda Lovelace film and partied into the wee hours on the day she was supposed to be in court in Beverly Hills, Lohan is coming home to a litany of legal woes.

She was to be arrested upon her return to Los Angeles for missing the mandatory hearing, but a judge recalled the warrant late Thursday after Lohan posted bail.

Superior Court Judge Marsha Revel set bail at $100,000, revoked Lohan’s probation and imposed strict new conditions on the star, who was due in court for a progress report on her probation stemming from two arrests in 2007.

The judge ordered that Lohan be prohibited from drinking any alcohol, required to wear an alcohol-monitoring bracelet and submit to random weekly drug testing.

“If she wanted to be here, it looks to the court that she could have been here,” Revel said, frustrated at Lohan’s absence.

The actress, wearing short shorts and high heels, was partying on a yacht in the French Riviera until early Thursday morning, says celebrity photographer Phil Ramey, who posted the photos on his website tinselclown.com.

Holley said Lohan’s passport was stolen while in Cannes and she was unable to return to Los Angeles in time for Thursday’s hearing.

“She did, in fact, have airline tickets,” Lohan’s attorney told the judge.

Lohan has been on probation since August 2007 after pleading guilty to misdemeanor drug charges and no contest to three driving charges. The plea came after a pair of high-profile arrests earlier that year.

Despite spending 84 minutes in jail and performing mandatory service at the county morgue, Lohan has struggled repeatedly with the terms of her sentence. In October, a judge extended her probation for another year but a prosecutor warned the actress she faced jail time if she violated her probation.

The extension was the third time Lohan escaped punishment after her alcohol-education program notified the court the actress had violated its rules. Two of the instances were described as misunderstandings; the third was chalked up to a busy work schedule.

Revel said at Thursday’s hearing that there is probable cause to believe Lohan may have violated her probation. A formal hearing will be held to determine if Lohan is in compliance with the court’s conditions.
