Kari Ann Peniche 'U and Me and Tiger Makes 3' -- New Song


Kari Ann Peniche became known to the public eye in 2002 when she was selected as Miss Oregon Teen USA and later, won the crown in the Miss United States Teen pageant. Her title was later stripped however after she appeared in the November 2004 issue of Playboy. Since then, Peniche has gained notoriety from her stints on 'Celebrity Sex Rehab with Dr. Drew' as well as a controversial personal video that was leaked last year. But Peniche is moving forward and has released a pop novelty track titled 'U and Me and Tiger Makes 3,' which obviously references the recent troubles that Tiger Woods has endured in the public spotlight. Tune into the comedy/novelty station WTF on AOL Radio to hear the song.
