A publicist for the couple who crashed a White House state dinner denies they are "shopping" any interviews or demanding money from television networks to tell their story.

In an e-mailed statement yesterday, publicist Mahogany Jones said the allegations are false and demanded that "this adverse, inaccurate information cease immediately."

Jones said Michaele and Tareq Salahi are not making any formal comments or arrangements to speak with the media. An appearance previously scheduled for last night on CNN's "Larry King Live" was canceled.

A TV executive, who spoke on condition of anonymity, had told The Associated Press that the couple's representatives had urged networks to "get their bids in" for an interview.

The denials just keep coming.

E! News yesterday spoke exclusively with Rachel Uchitel, the woman in the middle of the Tiger Woods infidelity allegations, and she's ready to set the record straight.

"I did not have any involvement with him [Woods]. Whatever was written in the [National] Enquirer was not said by me, it was said by two people that claimed they were friends of mine but they're not," the 34-year-old said.

"I am overwhelmed, so I hired [celebrity attorney] Gloria Allred to handle the situation. I don't want to get this much attention, and I wish everybody would leave me alone."

Woods has issued his own denial about "the many false, unfounded and malicious rumors" regarding the health of his marriage.

Uchitel, who is currently in Los Angeles to huddle with Allred, says she has only met Woods twice, once with a mutual friend and another time at a club.

She dabbled in TV, as a producer for Bloomberg, and then worked in Las Vegas at Tao, dealing with VIP clients who came to the establishment.

Uchitel left Tao about two years ago and now lives in New York City and is working on investment projects. She's trying to reopen her grandparents' old nightclub.

"Michael Jackson's This Is It," a film about the King of Pop's final rehearsals before his death, will be released on DVD on Jan. 26, 2010.

The DVD release was announced yesterday by Sony Pictures Home Entertainment.

"This Is It" captures Jackson's final performances as he rehearsed for his concerts in London. He died June 25, just weeks before his marathon of 50 concerts was to begin.

The DVD includes two documentaries, "Staging the Return: Beyond the Show" and "Staging the Return: The Adventure Begins," which highlight Jackson as he prepared for the concerts.

The film has grossed more than $70 million in the United States.
