Rachel Uchitel Mounts Another Man - And It's Not Tiger!

What happened to the media-shy Rachel Uchitel? Just weeks after she was ducking from cameras like a war criminal, the alleged mistress of Tiger Woods seems to be getting used to -- and enjoying -- the limelight, as she publicly piggybacked a male friend in New York City on Thursday.

The busty 34-year-old Manhattan hostess, who was the first domino to fall in the Tiger Woods infidelity scandal, wore all black as she soak in the attention of paparazzi and reporters tracking her.

Uchitel has reason to smile. As RadarOnline.com was first to report, she scored a multi-million dollar deal from Woods to buy her silence about their torrid affair.
