Well it seems that Tiger Woods has gotten his little pecker in order and calmed him down a bit because he’s been released from rehab. Tiger is set to leave sex rehab by the end of this week and his wife, yes – wife, Elin Nordegren, is flying in to pick him up and bring him home. Well, if he comes home, it won’t be for very long. He and Elin are planning on going away somewhere together to spend some time with each other privately. Aw, isn’t that romantic? A little getaway from the tramps that want to get with your husband. From Radar Online,

“Tiger Woods is leaving sex addiction rehab by the end of this week, RadarOnline.com has learned exclusively.

His wife Elin has flown to Hattiesburg, Mississippi to bring Tiger home, sources close to the situation told RadarOnline.com.

The golfing legend is at the end of his program at Gentle Path in Hattiesburg, Mississippi.

As RadarOnline.com reported earlier, his wife Elin has called off the divorce – for now – and is giving Tiger a second chance.

When Tiger leaves the clinic, he and Elin plan to go away together, alone, for a few days, sources told RadarOnline.com.

“Tiger and Elin want to be alone out of public when he leaves the clinic,” a source close to the situation told RadarOnline.com.

Elin previously spent five days with Tiger as part of his therapy program in Mississippi. Because of excellent security she was unseen by the press in Hattiesburg, but her absence was notable in Orlando.

The week she was gone her twin sister was photographed out with her children and even took them to Sea World.

Now she’s flown to get Tiger and bring him home.

“He should be out by the weekend,” a source close to the situation told RadarOnline.com. “They are giving their marriage another try.”

RadarOnline.com was first to report that Tiger would return to golf by the Spring and that plan is still on schedule – and he may try to play even sooner.

“He wants his life back,” one source told RadarOnline.com.

Tiger has been in rehab for approximately six weeks. His secret life of cheating was exposed when the National Enquirer was first to report that he was in a serious five-month relationship with Rachel Uchitel. The golfer has now been linked to at least 14 women during his marriage.”

Well isn’t that just lovely? I guess when you have more money than God you can just screw your life up as badly as you want to and pay absolutely no consequences. And I just have to say one more time that I am not buying the whole sex rehab thing. When did this become such a hot trend It seems that everyone now that’s caught with their pants down just goes to sex rehab because “they have a problem.” I think we all need to grow up a little bit and start taking responsibility for our actions. Maybe then marriages and such can actually be worked on in an honest manner.

And let’s face it, we all know that she’s staying with Tiger for the money. Which just makes me lose so much respect for her. Who else is going to stay after your husband has been with 14 women? And those are just the ones we know about! Can you imagine how many more there must have been that never came forward or were found out about?

I do think it’s a bit funny that Elin’s sister was photographed as “Elin” while Elin was visiting her gigolo in rehab. I mean, I feel badly for the woman that she couldn’t be left alone while she was babysitting but still, it’s always funny when the paps get it wrong.

Taylor Swift is a girl that knows how to get around. But the best thing about her is that, a sweeter girl you will not find. It’s part of that sweetness I’m sure, that is what makes men swoon over her as she leaves broken hearts in her trail. First she was seen out with John Mayer in Nashville. But there’s probably really nothing there. The two recorded a song together for Mayer’s last album so I’m sure things are friendly between them. But as for whether or not there’s a relationship there, I’m say probably, and thankfully, no. Even anonymous sources are saying that anything there is strictly platonic, and that Taylor and John are not dating. But don’t some of the most serious relationships start from friendship? Maybe there’s reason to be concerned after all. From People,

“It’s not all work for John Mayer, who is in Nashville and slated to film an upcoming episode of CMT’s Crossroads with Keith Urban Tuesday.

On Sunday, the rocker stepped out to dinner with Nashville resident – and good friend – Taylor Swift, at hot spot Cabana. The two, who recently recorded “Half of My Heart” for Mayer’s latest album Battle Studies, were joined by a group of about 15 friends and sat next to each other throughout the meal. But the gathering was friendly – and not romantic. “It looked like a big group of Nashville friends,” a source says of the group.”

But one person that Taylor Swift was romantically linked to is also back in her life. That is part boy-part werewolf, Taylor Lautner. Okay, Lautner only plays a werewolf in the Twilight saga but, he sure did seem to leave some sort of imprint on Taylor Swift. Rumors go that even though these two split up a couple of weeks ago, Lautner is still pretty smitten by Swift and hopes that they’ll be able to reunite when they have to get back to filming Valentine’s Day. That is going to be happening sooner rather than later, and Swift has already said that the two have already been in contact. From Digital Spy,

“Taylor Swift has reportedly revealed that she is still in touch with ex-boyfriend Taylor Lautner.

The star, who apparently split from the Twilight star last month, has said that the pair still remain in touch with each other.

The 20-year-old told the News of the World: “Everybody sees my every move now. I’m seeing him next week to film more scenes for [forthcoming film] Valentine’s Day. We’re texting.

“I hope I never change the way I live my life just because everyone’s watching it.

“If I don’t want to be photographed doing something, then I probably shouldn’t do it.”

You just have to love a star that’s willing to be photographed, and actually takes full responsibility for whatever it is she’s being photographed doing. All too often celebrities whine about lack of privacy, without actually even acknowledging what those ‘evil’ photographers caught them doing. And it seems that she’s also realized that her life is different now. She’s famous, and people want to take her picture. And again, instead of crying about how hard that is, she truly loves it!

I don’t think Taylor is interested in either of these two boys. Because well, I think if she was she would just come right out and tell us. But I do think that Taylor Swift is definitely a Hollywood Heartbreaker. And these two are just the first in a line of many, many, many more.

What’s the first thing a celebrity couple does when it’s rumored they’re in trouble and they want to tell the world to stuff a sock in it? Go out very publicly and act all cuddly and loving. Of course, because a few kisses here and there should be proof enough for anyone. But that’s exactly what Brad and Angelina did on Saturday night when they attended the Directors Guild of America awards. Brad was there to give an award to Quentin Tarantino and he and Angie looked happy and secure all night long while people wretched in the aisles. From Radar Online,

“Putting break up rumors to rest, for now, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie attended the Directors Guild of America Awards together at the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza in Los Angeles last night.

Pitt, who was invited to present an award to his Inglourious Basterds director Quentin Tarantino, sprung a surprise when he walked in with Jolie.

And as if to make a statement, Brad played the doting husband throughout the evening as the couple mingled with the guests, exchanged laughter, cuddled and even gently caressed each other!

This was the first time Brangelina had been photographed together since a December outing in New York.

For more than a week, reports had suggested the couple were headed for an expensive and imminent separation, although spokespeople for the showbiz power couple denied the split.”

I’m not saying that this is definitely a farce that Brad and Angie are trying to pull over on us. But I’m not going to be fooled by a few cute little poses and some kisses for the camera. This last breakup story of theirs was enough to have me thinking that they were definitely going to split. I’m not sure why, just something about it rang very true. Maybe again, it was just far too much hope on my part. But I’m still going to need some further evidence that these two are happy and in love before I write them off as eternally bound forever again.

I think there’s something wrong with people who don’t like Matthew McConaughey. I have to admit, once I found out about the whole placenta-burying thing, I tried really hard not to like him. Just because, ew that’s gross. But I just can’t do it! Everything about him is just so darned cute, including that little family he’s made for himself. And the best thing about Matthew is that he has a heart of gold and you can tell that in everything that the man does. He just released the first pics of new baby girl, Vida, who was born earlier this month to Matt and Camila Alves.

Most pics of newborn babies are pretty cute. And most pics of newborn babies, with celebrity parents on either side of them and cameras positioned just right so everything is perfect, are even cuter. But this picture is just so sweet. The love between Matt and Camila just jumps right off the page at you, and little baby Vida sleeping so soundly and looking so peaceful. If Levi was in it, it would truly be the perfect first family picture.

Just to keep you informed, there are rumors going around that there’s trouble between Matt and Camila. I refuse to believe it and so, I’m not even going to dignify the rumors by spilling the details. But, I just wanted to let everyone know that yes, the poison from the rumor mill has spilled over into the perfection that is Matt and Camila.

Congratulations once again, Matt, Camila, and Levi! And thanks to Celebitchy for the pic.

Well for those that think the relationship between Renee Zellweger and Bradley Cooper is strictly publicity-driven, it’s hard to deny the care that is shown in this story. On Thursday, Renee went to Bradley’s home, dressed in the workout gear she’s becoming so famous for, and while she had her car door open outside of the home, an elderly woman passing by almost smashed right into her. While Renee wasn’t hurt, and didn’t even seem to be too shaken up by the incident, her knight in shining armor, Bradley Cooper, was soon on-scene to save the day. From Celebrity Mania,

“On Thursday, January 28, the leading lady of “My One and Only” was nearly rammed by another car when she was climbing into her black Prius outside of Bradley Cooper’s new home in the Pacific Palisades.

TMZ reported the 40-year-old actress, who was spotted dressed in workout gear, made a quick stop at the house which is still undergoing some construction just before 9 A.M. on the particular morning. When she returned to her car and opened the door to get in, a passing SUV smashed into the open door, barely missing on hitting her but causing a large dent in the door.

Zellweger was left uninjured and no police was called to the scene. According to witness on the scene as quoted by E! News, the actress “didn’t seem upset” and was ” in good spirits” with the older woman who struck the door. The source further mentioned that following the incident, both parties “got out, [Renee] took pictures of the damage, they exchanged information”.

Minutes later, Renee Zellweger’s boyfriend, Bradley Cooper, was spotted arrived to the accident scene. After doing some brief checking of the damaged car door, the Academy Award-winning actress’ co-star in “Case 39″ whisked her away from the accident scene.”

Aw, ain’t that sweet! A true Hollywood rescue story! We’re glad everyone’s okay and this might just squash some of the rumors that Bradley and Renee just like what the publicity is doing for their careers. They were  both equally hot before they hooked up and together, well they’re pretty good.

This isn’t the first time Renee’s had bad luck with cars though. It was just this past summer in August when Renee was involved in another smashup when a car in front of her made an illegal turn. During that crash, Renee was also injured and very concerned about others on the scene. She was also wearing workout clothes.

So we all know Michael Lohan is a douche, right? He’s a douche to his kid, Lindsay, he’s a douche to his ex-wife, Dina, and he’s a douche to just about everyone in his life. The only people, in fact, that Michael Lohan is not a douche to, are the media. He truly will do anything to get the spotlight back on him and this latest violation in a restraining order makes me wonder if it wasn’t just a case of Mikey-boy getting an itch for headline. So, we’ll throw him a bone.

What’s most interesting about this story isn’t actually that Michael Lohan, a.k.a. The Douche, broke the restraining order that his ex-girlfriend, Erin Muller, had in place against him. The fact that he made a phone call to her at work only told me that this wasn’t a physical threat or attempt to actually speak to her at all, but was in fact just a cry for attention. What interested me was the fact that during the course of the story, I found out that Michael is dating Kate Major, who was also linked to The Douche II, Jon Gosselin, previously. And I also think Kate was probably going to be a part of that weird divorced mens’ club group that Jon and Michael were planning on starting together. But I couldn’t swear on that one. Here are the details about the restriction violation, and Kate’s role in it all, from Radar Online,

“Michael Lohan has been arrested again following another alleged run-in with his ex-girlfriend Erin Muller.

Despite Lohan’s many protests that he is “moving on” with his life and is over Muller, even going so far as to plan a move in with new girlfriend Kate Major, he has allegedly been trying to make contact with Muller, calling her at her work last Thursday – a direct violation of the restraining order Muller has against him.

Lohan was arrested by Nassau County Police Thursday and booked for criminal contempt. He is due in court February 25th.

Joan Eames, Public Information officer at Nassau County Police Department confirmed Lohan’s arrest. Going on to say he was arrested for, “Criminal contempt of his Order of Protection.”

RadarOnline.com contacted Lohan who completely denies contacting, or attempting to contact Muller. And goes on to state that his ex-girlfriend has her very own upcoming arrest pending.

Lohan tells RadarOnline.com “Erin lied and pressed charges. She is being arrested again in NY City and Nassau County 2nd Precinct.”

“Erin said I called her but she lied because she heard I was in Costa Rica instead. I have proof and she doesn’t.”

Going on to claim, “Her lawyer asked for money to drop the charges. How is it that I have proof and she doesn’t?”

Michael Lohan is just so damned whiny it drives me crazy! And how creepy are these people? Kate Major couldn’t make headlines with Jon and so now, having abandoned her job and most likely her life, she’s shackin up with the creepiest man in the world? What exactly, are we supposed to think about her? And as for Erin Muller’s part in all of this, I don’t blame her. If any one of these people came anywhere close to me, I’d immediately get a restraining order on all of them.

What can I say about J.D. Salinger. A 91 year-old man, who was a recluse, there’s definitely no scandal or hookup here. But Salinger, the author of classic books such as Catcher in the Rye and Franny and Zooey has passed away in his home in Cornish, New Hampshire. I really cannot say how much this saddens me. Catcher in the Rye really did get me through high school and I never remember a character that was so brilliantly written, and so utterly relatable as was Holden Caufield. I have a copy with wrinkles and bends in it sitting on my shelf amongst my greats and although it’s my second copy of the book, it’s for the better. My first was so tattered, and it even had a few pages missing it was so worn.

Other than his work, which was so unspeakably well-done and true masterpieces of their kind, J.D. Salinger was also mostly known, ironically, for being a recluse. J.D. had no interest in the celebrity lifestyle and truly just cared about his characters and living his life as peacefully and as simply as he could.

J.D. Salinger has also been known as being an author that had been banned from schools. I remember when I was first introduced to Catcher in the Rye in the high school, it was a big deal because a lot of schools had just put it on their ‘black list’ of books for academic reading. All of this because it includes the “F-word.” And Holden even tries to rub it out! What more do you want him to do? And thank God that my school still allowed it,  too. Had it been banned, who knows if I would have ever stumbled upon the treasure and I have to say, was one of those books that truly changed my life, and my entire way of thinking.

Doing a little research, quite sadly, about J.D.’s passing, I stumbled upon an article where Stephen King spoke of J.D.’s death. This piqued my interest even more because, out of all my favorite authors in the whole entire world, I’d have to say that Stephen and J.D. would be in a tug of war. King though had some interesting thoughts and although he sounds saddened by J.D.’s passing, too, he also sounds more interested in what works Salinger had lurking behind those closed doors. Interesting thought. From Contact Music,

“Horror author-turned-columnist STEPHEN KING has paid tribute to literary great J.D. SALINGER – even though he was never a big fan.
In a post on EW.com, the Carrie writer admits he’s intrigued by what the reclusive Salinger wrote and didn’t publish in the last three decades of his life.
King says, “I’m sorry to hear of his passing – the way you’d feel if you heard an eccentric, short-tempered, but often fascinating uncle had passed away.
“It is a milestone of sorts, because Salinger was the last of the great post-WWII American writers, and in (his The Catcher in the Rye anti-hero) Holden Caulfield – maybe the greatest American-boy narrator since (Tom Sawyer character) Huck Finn – he created an authentic Voice of the Age: funny, anxious, at odds with himself, and badly lost.
“Salinger’s death may answer one question that has intrigued readers, writers, and critics for nearly half a century – what literary trove of unpublished work may he have left behind? Much? Some? Or none? Salinger is gone, but if we’re lucky, he may have more to say, even so.”
Salinger passed away at his home in New Hampshire on Wednesday (27Jan10). He was 91.”

Rest in peace, J.D. The world has lost a legend of the truest kind.

We all knew that Tiger Woods was spending some quality time in rehab trying to get “better”, meaning that he’s trying to learn how to act like a grownup and keep it in his pants. Up until last week, Tiger had been in hiding and seemed to be trying to work through his issues privately. But all of that changed when Elin Nordegren visited her husband in rehab.

Apparently, having your wife there helps with rehab and is part of the program. And apparently, there’s also a marriage left to work on if Elin is willing to help her cheating husband “get better.” According to reports that Elin was paid a huge sum of money to stay with Tiger, the fact that she’s willing to stay may not be all that surprising to some. But to me, it makes me lose a lot of respect for her. I’m sorry, but Tiger shows no signs so far of wanting to actually repair his marriage and be faithful to Elin. And that’s especially evident from this incident that’s reported by Politicol News,

“Embattled Elin Nordegren visits repentant hubby Tiger Woods at sex rehab clinic.

Despite unleashing a tsunami of self-confessed mistresses, the King of Swing now wants to save him marriage.

And perhaps, so does the missus after an alleged $300 mil Xmas payoff.

RadarOnline.com reported Elin visited Tiger at the Gentle Path in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, returning home to Orlando, Fla. late last night.

She spent the past five days with the potent putter, participating in the treatment program and private security was employed to keep her out of sight.”

I’m sorry, but how stupid do you have to be? Not only do you keep contacting this woman after the story has broke that you’ve had a very illicit affair, but then you leave your phone out so that your wife is able to go through and read all of your messages? I understand that some cheaters want to get caught and I absolutely think that was what happened with Tiger. What I don’t understand is why he’s so willing to pay her so much money to stay in the marriage when he obviously doesn’t want to be a part of it? And how stupid does Elin have to be? She saw the texts herself that had Tiger saying that he loved Rachel Uchitel more than he did his wife. Why would you want to stay with someone who doesn’t love you the most in the whole wide world? It reeks of greed, and I don’t like it.

Well now that they’re no longer having a steamy and torrid affair, LeAnn Rimes and Eddie Cibrian make no bones about making public appearances. On Sunday they were seen enjoying the Sundance Film Festival in Park City and strolling through the Main Street. There have recently been talks that LeAnn has become a bit possessive during their relationship and while I would say that there’s good cause for it, I think LeAnn is forgetting that her own marriage was blown apart due to their affair.

Anyways, these rumors come after LeAnn was seen following Eddie to the set of his TV show “CSI: Miami” and I really think it was much ado about nothing. LeAnn was most likely just going to see Eddie at work. And even though these two have both been tarnished in my eyes for cheating on their spouses with each other, I can’t help but think that LeAnn looks super cute in her puffy coat and cute winter cap. Thanks to Gossip Center for the pic!

Oh please. First of all, I’m not even sure why we’re still talking about Kate Gosselin. The nurse turned reality TV mom turned divorce mom with no show is now living her life in the way that she fits (which includes a new ‘do), and doing all the regular things that regular moms do. Well, except that she’s sitting on a buttload of money while she does it. But seriously, why are we still talking about her? She’s no longer infiltrating our living rooms with that awful show, and she’s not even in the middle of her divorce anymore. So why do we care? I’m not sure. And in this case, it’s not the fact that it’s Kate Gosselin so much as it is I really don’t see why we can’t let parents be parents.

Remember last summer when we told you about how the media was outraged that Kate hit her daughter? Now there’s a new story just like it. Except that the child in question is her son, Collin and not her daughter, Leah. Apparently, Kate and her new hair, and her eight children, were out the other day when Collin wouldn’t stop talking to the media that was trying to get their attention. Kate has been very vocal in the past talking about how much she hates it when the kids and the paps interact, and has even said that the “p-word” is considered a swear in their house. A little overreacting perhaps, but it may explain why Kate felt the need to ‘hit her child in the mouth and then keep her hand held over his mouth.’ If you’re horrified, please read on because, I think the media has actually made it out to be much worse than it actually is. From In Touch via Celebitchy,

“On January 15, Kate was seen grabbing Collin after picking up him and his siblings from school at around 2 p.m. “Collin started talking to people around them, and Kate wanted him to keep quiet. She looked like she was about to lose it and smacked Collin in the face and then held his mouth!” and onlooking tells In Touch, adding, “All I know is that I wouldn’t treat a 5 year-old like that….”

With the messy divorce behind her, why is Kate resorting to physical violence now? According to a friend, the mother of eight is struggling with being a single mom. “Kate’s not just stressed, she’s completely overwhelmed,” her pal explains. “She is trying to do her best with her new life,” adds the friend, “but it’s proven to be much harder than she imagined.”

I’m sure it’s much harder than she imagines. I’m sure it’s harder than any person imagines when they once had help raising their children and suddenly they don’t. But honestly, this was not physical violence. This was a woman raising her kids. Because I know how much Kate doesn’t want her kids talking to the paparazzi, I’m sure her kids have a good idea as well. And I’m sure that Collin didn’t just open his mouth and Kate turned around and belted him. I’m sure that Kate told him not to talk to them, and he did anyway. So he got punished. As children should when they don’t listen to their parents. Kate doesn’t even look like she’s hitting him in this picture! She looks like she’s simply trying to get her point across.

It bothers me when people say things such as, “I wouldn’t treat a 5-year-old like that.” Because you don’t know, especially if you don’t have a 5 year old at home. I applaud Kate once again for doing what she thinks is best for her kids and I’m glad she’s proven that she’s got a hard enough nose not to let this kind of stuff get to her. I hold a lot against Kate and I’m not a fan of hers. But I do think that now that the cameras are gone most of the time, she probably is just trying to do whatever she can to hold the family she’s still got together.

By the way, for those of you who haven’t seen it yet, what do you think of Kate’s new hair? I think it looks like exactly what it is – fake hair. But I’m glad that she ditched that old short ‘do. It was just so overdone and the media had played it to the point of nausea so a switch is nice. Even if it’s not a great switch.

I really hate writing anything about Brad and Angelina splitting up. Mostly because I’m pretty sure that all the rumors are false, so I consider reading anything about a potential split a complete waste of time. Also because I’m pretty sure that this couple is going to stay together forever just to spite me. But this recent headline has made me pause and wonder, is it really true this time?

The rumors going around the mill this time say that Brangelina have filed separation papers. Why does a couple that’s never married need separation papers? Well, there’s still the sticky situation of all those children they had to have right away. Apparently, the papers were needed to determine where the children would go and who would be taking care of them. And guess who they’re going to live with? Mother Angelina of course. I found the story of the split at Bump Shack,

“After months of rumors it’s official, actors Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have filed for a legal separation according to News Of The World. They weren’t married but needed to file the paperwork so they could decide custody among their six children.

Rumors of their demise grew stronger over the past two weeks when the couple didn’t show for the Golden Globe Awards and when Jolie didn’t join Pitt at the Hope for Haiti telethon.

A source told the News of the World: “The document was signed in early January. Both Brad and Angelina had signed it.

“The contract was like a tailor-made version of a pre-nuptial agreement except for an unmarried couple’s split.
“It seemed clear they want the world to know they’ll both play a part in the upbringing of the children.

“But Angelina will actually be the one who lives with them full-time.”

The divorce lawyer they consulted is based in Beverly Hills and has worked on a string of celeb divorces and splits. He is widely regarded as “the best in the business”.

The couple will share joint custody of all six children: Maddox, Zahara, Shiloh, Pax, Knox, Vivienne.

Pitt and Jolie had been shacking up since early 2005. It is the second high profile for Pitt. Jolie became even more notorious for wrecking Pitt’s first marriage to Friends actress Jennifer Aniston.

It is the third pseudo-divorce for Jolie as she was previously married to Johnny Lee Miller and then Billy Bob Thornton.”

‘Jolie became even more notorious’ after she became a homewrecker. No kidding! Did anyone even care about Angelina before the Aniston haters came onboard and decided to defend Angie’s every rotten move? I realize she was famous in her own right before then but I really think that Jolie blowing that marriage apart was one of the best publicity stunts she ever pulled. But, don’t get excited just yet. People is claiming that the stories aren’t true. According to sources that are pro-Brangelina, everything is just fine and this is one rumor in a string of many. From People,

“While reports are swirling that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are headed for a split, multiple sources close to the family tell PEOPLE that the rumors are false.

“Everything is fine” with the couple, who are parents to six kids, a source says.

Another source says the split reports, which were first published in a British tabloid, are “totally false.”

In recent weeks, it’s been business as usual for the busy couple – movie shoots, family outings, charity work – and several observers say they saw nothing amiss.

Couple Time

On Jan. 2, Pitt, 46, and Jolie, 34, shared a romantic dinner for two at the French restaurant Le Perigord. “You could tell they wanted to spend time alone and didn’t want to be bothered by anybody else,” says a source. “It was wonderful to see a couple so much in love.”

The story in People also goes on to talk about how Brad and Angelina have been spending a lot of time apart lately because of their work schedules. But really, how many things must you miss simply because you’re working? Even when you’re a hot shot movie star. They both missed the Golden Globes, then Angie missed the SAG awards, where Brad’s Inglorious Bastards picked up an award for Best Ensemble Cast. And none of that is even to mention the alone time they each had with their children recently, Brad with the boys and Angie with the girls. That’s a lot of alone time for two people who are supposed to be more in love than anybody else ever was. And I seem to remember times when Brad and Angie were working like crazy people and still managed to attend award shows and show up in places together.

Then there’s the fact that both stories come from anonymous ’sources.’ Usually I use that as my #1 rule of ruling anything out. But when both sides come from anonymous tips, it can get tricky. I’m going with they are separating on this one. I’ve never before heard of any official papers being filed, and it’s odd to me that the most photographed couple in the world can’t seem to get together to support each other. So yeah, they’re done. But maybe it’s just wishful thinking on my part.

It seems that all you have to do after beating your wife on Christmas Day and threatening her life is visit her in the hospital when she ends up in the hospital for pneumonia shortly after. That’s where Brooke Mueller is right now and her adoring husband, Charlie Sheen, visited his wife for the second time yesterday. This time though, he was allowed to actually talk to her! See, in case you missed it, Charlie visited his wife a few days ago when she was initially admitted to the hospital for a fever of 105 degrees. Unfortunately, because Brooke has an order against Charlie wherein he’s not allowed to have any contact with her or speak with her, he wasn’t actually allowed to visit her. However, a judge has temporarily lifted that order so that Charlie could be with her in the hospital. From TMZ,

“A much happier Charlie Sheen visited Brooke Mueller today in the hospital — and this time he was allowed to talk to his wife. Late yesterday, the judge in Charlie’s Aspen case relaxed the protective order and allowed Charlie to have contact with Brooke while she’s laid up in the hospital.”

The thing about Charlie Sheen is that I really want to like him. But I just can’t. I actually saw it on TMZ the first day he went to visit Brooke in the hospital and he did look very concerned and told the cameras that he was ‘just there to lend his love and support. Everything’s fine.’ And just the way he said it, it’s like he oozed charisma. But I too realize that saying it and actually meaning it are two very different things. And people may say that Sheen has changed his bad boy ways. And I’d agree with them. He’s taken the life of partying and drugs and stepped it up a notch to include beating his wife. Yes, he’s changed alright. Just not for the better.

Do I need to say that I love Jennifer Garner? Okay, I will. I LOVE JENNIFER GARNER!! Sorry, I had to get that out of my system before I continued. Okay my BFF, Jen baby, just gave an interview with Parade Magazine and in it, she talks about her marriage to Scott Foley (which is something she keeps pretty mum about, no pun intended) and how she had a lot of growing up to do during their divorce.

In the interview she says she didn’t used to stand up for herself and talk about what she needed and what would make her happy and how that was ultimately the demise of her marriage. She also opens up about how she needed to go to therapy after her divorce to try to deal with her issues and grow up. She actually doesn’t seem bitter about her divorce at all, and she seems to want to put most of the blame on herself. Maybe that therapy didn’t work out so well for her after all. But, not wanting to dwell on the past or the unpleasant, Jen also touches on her uber-fabulous marriage to Ben Affleck and tells us how they manage to keep it so together with bright lights, no privacy, and busy busy schedules on both ends. From Parade via Celebitchy,

“Admitting it’s an emotional struggle.
“I adore going to movie sets and being part of a team trying to create something. And yet, I hate to miss even one bedtime with my girls.”

Understanding that the push-pull she faces is hardly unique.
“My sisters both are working mothers. I understand that my being an actress as well as being at home isn’t some heroic thing. That doesn’t mean it isn’t confusing or difficult–especially that question of how you find a balance.”

She knows how lucky she is.
“I’m privileged, because I have a lot of freedom. I want to use it to make as warm and normal a life as I can for our daughters.”

On co-starring opposite Patrick Dempsey and Ashton Kutcher in the romantic comedy “Valentine’s Day.”
“I go home and say to Ben, ‘Do you know what I’ve been doing at work all day?’”

Her own romance with Ben Affleck.
“Ben is sexy and kind, but he’s also a riot. We can be very goofy together.”

Finding the time to be romantic.
“You steal the time. You steal a date, you steal a kiss, you steal a whisper. You sit next to each other on the couch with computers on your laps. After the kids are asleep you…well, you know. Whatever it is. You slip away for a night, which we’ve only just now done for the first time. Of course, I call home while we’re away. Ben would be surprised if I didn’t.”

Why her divorce from actor Scott Foley in 2004 was a turning point.
“I had a lot of growing up to do. I’m still conflict-averse. I don’t like to argue. But back then I couldn’t have a fight. I couldn’t work things out because I wasn’t able to say what I needed to say. I didn’t have a voice. I didn’t dare to express myself. It was a huge heartbreak for me to have something fail like that. I knew that this was either an opportunity for growth or I would sink. It’s easy when you’re hurt and angry to just say, ‘Oh, it’s them.’ But I had to come into my own. I thought, ‘Why did this relationship not work? What part of the failure is my responsibility?’ So I went to work on it. I started therapy.”

Gaining a powerful self-awareness.
“It’s not like I didn’t realize I had any issues until I got a divorce. But I had this professional confidence that wasn’t equaled by my own personal confidence in any relationship, not just with men. There was a disconnect. I realized I needed to be more like my character in ‘Alias,’ who was so powerful and confident and an inspiration to me. I understood very well how to be nice and how to take care of people. I didn’t know how to ask for anything that I needed. It was important to balance it out.”

Finding a new relationship with friend Ben Affleck.
“Well, it helped that we were both single at the time. He’s a very good writer.”

So did he woo her with letters?
“Don’t make assumptions. I didn’t say that! Okay…e-mail. He’s a very persuasive writer.”

Counting on friends and family for support.
“I will tell you what I can’t abide–and I think the Internet has really created a space for it–women criticizing other women and mothers criticizing other mothers. It just makes me crazy, whether it’s between staying at home, going to work, how long you breast-feed, if you use formula. I feel like we should just assume everyone is doing the best they can. Women should take care of each other, not tear each other down. I would just like to see a mother who really believes that she has done it all so right, you know what I mean?”

Did Affleck have to work hard to win over Garner’s mom and sisters?
“He doesn’t have trouble wiggling his way in anywhere. Ben is charm personified when he wants to be. He’s not easily threatened or made uncomfortable–he’s very secure in that way. Maybe he just knows I’m nuts about him, and he doesn’t have anything to worry about. Don’t forget we were friends first for a long time.”

There’s nothing wrong with being “nice.”
“I can’t complain. This mix is perfect for me. I am the model middle child. I am patient and I like to take care of everyone. Being called nice is a compliment. It’s not a boring way to describe me.”

Yes, Jennifer Garner is very nice indeed. And I’m glad she doesn’t take that as an insult. When did nice become such a bad thing anyway? I don’t understand why people think that just because Jennifer manages to keep a somewhat low-profile, and because she’s not surrounded by drama 24/7 that she’s somehow boring and uninteresting. I’d much rather read about someone ‘boring’ like Jennifer Garner than I would a train wreck like Lindsay Lohan.

There’s a story that National Enquirer has printed regarding the heavily publicized relationship between Bradley Cooper and Renee Zellweger. The story goes that Renee and Bradley are having the old problem of one wanting a baby and the other, well, not so much. And of course, because Renee’s the woman in the couple, it has to be her that wants the baby, right? Right. According to the Enquirer anyway. I personally think this story is a hunk of garbage.

Apparently, Bradley’s gotten that little pointed head of his so big that he wants to keep making movies and big bucks before he starts adding to their family. And why are these two even talking about babies when they’ve only been dating for a few months? Well it seems that the two are also talking about wedding plans. Another thing about this story that I don’t believe. Here’s the ‘full’ story from National Enquirer,

“Bradley only recently got his first taste of Hollywood stardom with ‘The Hangover’ and as much as he loves Renee, he’s not ready for a family,” a close pal told the Enquirer. “In his mind, marriage is one thing, but kids are quite another.”

While Bradley, 35, is positioned as the next big star, “Renee, at 40, wants a baby as soon as possible, and that conflict has become their wedding roadblock.”

After Renee charmed his parents, Bradley gave her the green light to begin planning the nuptials, but “he’s suddenly downshifted,” the source says. “Bradley wants to wait a few more years to have a baby, while Renee is feeling pressure to conceive due to her age.”

“They had their first big argument in early January. Now Bradley is saying they need to sort out their differences before moving ahead. So, for the time being, they’re at a wedding stalemate.”

The first thing that made me skeptical about this story was that the Enquirer is claiming that The Hangover was Bradley’s ‘first taste of Hollywood.’ Uuumm….are they forgetting the major role that Bradley played on Alias? Or his role in The Wedding Crashers? I do think that The Hangover was his most successful movie – and one that he played a leading role in, as opposed to the two I mentioned when he was a supporting cast member. But still. Those were huge hits, both the TV show and the movie and I think Bradley had a ‘taste of Hollywood’ long before The Hangover came along.

I might also mention that I hardly think Renee would be so willing to marry someone after she ended up getting an annulment after four months of marriage to Kenny Chesney. And by the way, Bradley and Renee are both very busy right now also knocking down rumors that they’re moving in together. So the fact that they’re also looking at babies and marriage is highly doubtable. I think on this one, it was a slow news day and the Enquirer had some blank pages to fill.

Remember that guy, Liam Hemsworth that I posted about the other day? Sorry, you probably remember him better as “the latest guy that Miley’s screwing under her parents’ noses.” Yes, he is indeed the latest boyfriend of Miley Cyrus and yes, as far as I know, he is still living in her house. With her and her parents. Because if it doesn’t work that way, Miley’s out the door. Well, it seems that she might be out the door soon anyway because Miley has recently been spotted wearing a wedding ring. Hmm, I wonder if Liam and Miley will continue living in Billy and Tish’s house once they say their vows?

Come on, who are we kidding? This engagement is never going to go through! This is one of Miley’s many mistakes, and there are many more to follow. Besides that, her reps say that she isn’t even planning on getting married. So what’s the point of the ring then? According to her friends, Miley thinks that Liam is ‘the one’ and does want to marry him someday. Just not right now. All of this comes from BumpShack,

“Disney star Miley Cyrus, who is currently dating her “The Last Song” co-star Liam Hemsworth (photos here), was spotted wearing a ring on her left hand and naturally the rumors of a possible engagement quickly spread (more photos below).

The 17 year-old actress/singer’s rep quickly debunked the rumors, simply saying, “Miley’s not engaged” YET! Miley’s Aussie boyfriend has reportedly already moved in with her family and they are absolutely completely head over heels. An insider tells Miley actually thinks Liam is “the one” and she wants to marry young but certainly not at 17.”

The only thing I don’t believe about this story is that Miley thinks she’s too young to get married. Miley doesn’t think that she’s too young to do anything! And I bet that good ol’ Billy and Tish are already picking out her china patterns while making reservations at the ceremony and reception sites. Honestly, this family is so screwed up, you really just have to shake your head, back away, and be very very thankful that you’re not part of it!

I’m more sick of this couple than I am of Amy Winehouse and Blake Fielder-Civil. Yes, there are rumors once again that Brian Austin Green and trampy Megan Fox might be engaged – AGAIN! These two first got engaged in 2006 – that’s right FOUR years ago – and ever since they have been breaking up and getting back together. But Brian Austin Green recently tweeted over this past weekend and his message seemed to indicate that he is once again engaged. And, if it’s true, then it’s definitely Megan that he’s engaged to as he followed it up with “I live in LA but I’m in New Mexico right now with Megan.” So, why wouldn’t it be true?

OK! Magazine is reporting that the tweet is a fake and that Brian Austin Green doesn’t even have a Twitter account. First we’ll give you the Twitter message and then we’ll give you the report from OK! and you can make of it what you will. This first comes from Digital Spy,

“Brian Austin Green has claimed that he is engaged.

The former Beverly Hills, 90210 star is dating actress Megan Fox. The couple have previously been engaged but Fox reportedly called it off in February.

However, when a fellow Twitter user asked Green if he was married with kids, he replied: “Engaged and have a son from my previous relationship.”

He also revealed that he was sitting “right next to” Fox, explaining: “I live in Los Angeles, but am in New Mexico right now while Megan films a movie.”

Austin Green and Fox are reportedly planning to move into a new home in Los Angeles.”

Last we heard, these two were still together. And they’re both so dumb that they may actually think that breaking up all the time doesn’t actually mean that they’re not supposed to be together. So, this story could actually be true. But OK! doesn’t seem to think so. This is what they’re saying,

“A Tweet supposedly posted by Brian Austin Green in which he announces his engagement to long-term girlfriend Megan Fox is a fake.

Brian supposedly tweeted to a fan on Saturday that he “is [engaged] and [has] a son from [his] previous relationship,” reports Gossip Cop.

The actor doesn’t have a Twitter account, Gossip Cop has confirmed.

While the pair may actually be engaged, fans of the Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles actor and his Armani model girlfriend, can’t use the misleading Twitter as evidence that they plan to tie the knot.”

I don’t really care whether or not these two ever get married. Or if they stay together. Or if they break up again. Or if they move to a small corner of the world where we never have to hear about them again. But that’s the hoax that’s going on, for those that want to be in the know. What I find most interesting about this story is that there might actually be a celebrity left on our planet that is not obsessed with Twitter!

By ‘cutie’ I’m obviously talking about the two younger little women and not the homewrecking tramp that’s leading them around everywhere. But Shiloh and Zahara are definitely very cute! At first, I didn’t actually know if this was Shiloh or Maddox only because Shiloh is dressed very casual and doesn’t seem to be very girly. Then I took half a second and realized that Maddox is 8, Zahara is 5, and Shiloh is 3. So yeah, it’s Shiloh. Or else Maddox has some serious development issues that need to be looked into.

I got the photo of the ladies shopping at the Whole Foods Market from Radar Online and I was shocked at how many people were making fun of Shiloh’s outfit (saying that she looked like a boy, another reason I thought Radar might be mistaken.) But I think Shiloh’s outfit is cute, even if she might want to think about ditching that “I’m just like my Dad” hat, and it’s not super girly. I’ll attack Angie with the best of em. But I really do think that when it comes to dressing her kids, she can do whatever the hell she wants. And as for Angie? I’m glad to see that she extends that wearing-a-carpet look past award shows.

It seems that Tiger Woods is willing to try just about anything to save his marriage. Too bad he didn’t think about that before he started bedding every woman in the free world. But it seems that Tiger is now seeking professional help the same way that David Duchovny did – by going to sex rehab. Is this the latest trend? If you are too horny to only sleep with the one person that is your spouse, you blame it on a sex addiction and that makes it okay? I think that people, even if they are suffering from a sex addiction, that they still know right from wrong and still know that they are hurting people with their actions. But the real kicker here is that this supposedly isn’t the first time that Tiger’s gone to sex rehab. It is in fact, the second time in the last month that he’s gone. From National Enquirer,

“Tiger Woods is getting treatment for his sex addiction in Hattiesburg, Miss., sources say.

The King of Swing whose infidelity sparked a tsunami of self-confessed mistresses checked into the Pine Grove Behavioral Health and Addiction services, RadarOnline.com reports.

According to the Web site for the facility, patients usually spend about six weeks in treatment.

Sex addicts receive a variety of treatments, including group therapy, cognitive behavior therapy and “shame reduction.”

As The Enquirer reported previously then potent putter has been in hiding since his early morning car crash the day after Thanksgiving after a fight with his wife Elin Nordegren over his affair with Rachel Uchitel.

It was previously reported he sought treatment over the holidays at the Meadows, another well known sex addiction clinic.”

I don’t think that sex rehab is all Tiger’s marriage needs to be mended. I think divorce papers are the only thing that will fix it now. And I don’t think I would believe my husband if he told me that he had a sex addiction. Or else I just wouldn’t care. I just don’t think the problem here is that Tiger has an addiction. I think it’s that he’s been told his whole entire life how awesome he is, and now he thinks that he’s entitled to whatever the hell he wants.

This is one divorce that I am actually sad to see. Bob Guiney, who charmed the entire world when he appeared on The Bachelor, and Rebecca Budig, who plays the rich and whiny (although we’re really supposed to love her) Greenly on All My Children, have split up after five years of marriage. Apparently, the two have been secretly separated for some time now but they just can’t seem to make things work so have decided to make the split official. It’s too bad really. Although I hate her character on the soap, I do really like Rebecca and I think she’s an okay actress. And Bob. Who didn’t fall in love with Bob Guiney during his season on The Bachelor? The news comes from Star,

“Bachelor Bob Guiney’s five year marriage to All My Children star Rebecca Budig is over! The couple, who have been secretly separated for a few months, have decided to officially call it quits!
“Bob and Rebecca realized they were not meant to be together,” a friend tells Star. “They don’t love each other anymore and want to move on with their lives.

Adding: “They have been separated for a while but hadn’t made a final decision until now. They have hired an arbitrator to help handle the process and will be filing for divorce in Michigan, where they got married.”

Rebecca, 36, gave the first hint that her marriage to Bob, 38, was in trouble when she was spotted without her ring on at the TCA’s in Pasadena on January 13th.

“Bob and Rebecca want to get through this painful situation as quickly and quietly as possible,” continues the source. “Bob is definitely eager to become a free man and already has his eye on a few girls he’s like to date. He’s a naturally charming guy and pretty girls are drawn to him so he won’t have to work to hard to find a girlfriend.”

The pair first met in January 2003, while taping a segment for Bachelor XYZ, which Rebecca hosted. When Bob split with Estella Gardinier, who he proposed to on the ABC reality series, he started dating Rebecca, and popped the question the following year.

Rebecca was previously married to Daniel Geller, but their marriage only lasted four months.”

Wow, it’s been a tough go for these two in the romance department. Bob does seem to be kind of a player though so it doesn’t really surprise me all that much that he ‘already has his eye on a few girls he’d like to date.’ Seriously? When your divorce isn’t even final yet? That’s a little rude I think.

I used to be a big Mel Gibson fan. I loved his movies, loved his charm, and just loved the air that he seemed to carry about wherever he went. But then he went and got all Hollywood and weird. Not to mention, very judgmental on many, many political topics. I went sour on Mel even before he irrevocably screwed up his marriage and knocked up young chickie Oksana Grigorieva. But that whole scandal really had nothing to do for my hate on Mel. But really, any headline I read with him, especially if he’s talking about a politically ‘hot topic’, I tend to be quite biased even before I get into the opening sentence.

That’s why when I came across this post in Celebitchy about how Mel thought that the whole Tiger Woods scandal was being used a diversion from war, I did an inward eye roll and prepared myself to read more Gibson nonsense. But actually, this is an interview that actually makes sense. And Mel gives an argument that many people have given about Tiger Woods, and about many other celebrities. From Daily Mail via Celebitchy,

“Mel on his “sins”: “ Nobody is without sin. You have to try to make amends if you can. You have to shut up and move on and not whine about it. And you have to deal with it like a man. And that’s. Whatever fallout comes from it, be it fair or unfair, you’ve just got to accept your own culpability. The minute you start whining, it’s ridiculous.”

On Tiger Woods: “I feel sorry for Tiger Woods. Why are we talking about this when we’re sending 30,000 more troops to Afghanistan? You’ve got this history-changing event going on and we’re talking about Tiger’s private life and golf injuries. He’s being used as a diversion and it just drives me crazy. You come out savaged. I just think, ‘Who cares?’”

On his divorce and his relationship with Oksana: “When all’s said and done I did a pretty good hatchet job on my marriage. I’m to blame, if you’re inclined to judge.”

Yes, why are we spending so much time on Tiger when people are out giving their lives for us? My brother told me a stat over the holidays that in a New York newspaper, something regarding the Tiger Woods scandal ran for 21 days straight, which was 3 days longer than the 9/11 coverage. While this might show just how sad and shallow our society is, I think it’s actually for a different reason.

We don’t really care. Will we be sad if Tiger and his wife split up? Probably not. It is a diversion. Mel’s right about that. But I think it’s a diversion we all need. We can’t be bombarded everyday with things like war and death. And while, it’s unfortunate for Tiger that he’s a major figure in the public eye and therefore, the target of our diversion, that’s the way it goes in Hollywood. The same way it went for Mel when he was a raging alcoholic and during his bitter divorce. Which, I’m glad he took full blame for, by the way. And nobody should feel sorry for Tiger Woods. For any reason.
