Tiger Woods has too many girlfriends: Nearly three months after his "car accident" spurred the discovery of not one, not five, not 10, but more than a dozen mistresses, he finally decided it was time to apologize. In February during a tightly controlled televised statement, the pro golfer put on a sad face about his "irresponsible and selfish" behavior and cited Buddhism as part of his path to recovery. And to his family and fans, the highest paid athlete said, "I ask you to find room in your heart to one day believe in me again." Unfortunately, his wife didn't.

Jesse James has a girlfriend with too many tattoos: This past March, Sandra Bullock reclaimed her title as America's Sweetheart and snagged an Oscar for her scrappy role in The Blind Side . But she didn't get to enjoy the glory for long. Days later, tattoo model - and Nazi regalia-wearing - Michelle "Bombshell" McGee revealed her 11-month affair with Bullock's equally tattooed hubby, Jesse James. He apologized, but Sandy filed for divorce in June. Talk about being blind-sided. Reprinted with...
Lindsay Lohan has nothing remotely close to a comeback: 2009 was supposed to be the former child star's comeback year, but a tumultuous relationship with ex-girlfriend Sam Ronson, a critically panned (to put it lightly) attempt at fashion design with Ungaro, and some questionable topless Twitter photos put a quick stop to that. Sadly, 2010 was actually worse. After promptly failing random drug tests and missing numerous court dates, she served 14 days in jail, went to rehab, left rehab, went to...
The White House lets just about anybody in: Accused of crashing a splashy White House party last November, Michaele Salahi and her husband, Tareq, didn't let their run-in with President Barack Obama be their only claim to fame. The gate-crashing couple starred in the premiere season of The Real Housewives of D.C. And according to their cast mates, they hijacked the hit Bravo franchise with the exploit. No, no, no. That's why they got a book deal. (Yes, they got a book deal.) Reprinted with...
Heidi Montag reveals her upgrades: In January, the former Hills star revealed what Barbie would look like in human form. And it wasn't pretty. The reality star received 10 cosmetic procedures, including having her already fake boobs increased to DDDs, getting a new nose job, and having a butt augmentation. Months after the surgeries, it hurt to smile and she couldn't run, but her on-again-off-again husband, Spencer Pratt, seemed pleased! Yeah, the completely sane husband who wears crystals to...
Perez Hilton messes with the wrong underage pop star: The famous celeb blogger gets away with a lot . Whether he's drawing certain drug paraphernalia on stars' noses or questioning the gender of others, he most definitely tests the limits. Well, in June, when he posted a certain uncensored photo of 17-year-old Miley Cyrus - she was getting out of a car while wearing a loose-fitting dress on a windy day (you get the idea...) - he crossed the line. He's now facing possible child pornography charges...
Christine O'Donnell is not a witch: Most Americans didn't have a clue who the Delaware Republican Senate candidate was until they heard there was a witch (and not the kind that starts with the letter B ) in politics. During a 1999 appearance on Bill Maher's Politically Incorrect show, O'Donnell admitted that she "dabbled into witchcraft" and had a first date once on a Satanic altar. You know, usual stuff. But, in an attempt to clear her name, she launched a campaign ad in October that only...
Jersey Shore ruins reality TV: When the second season of Jersey Shore premiered on MTV in July, the phenomenon that had already been building for months hit a fist-pumping fever pitch. Now, The Situation and Snooki are household names, as are their abs and hair pouf, respectively. By August, however, the drawbacks to fame began. Snooki was charged for disorderly conduct and creating a public nuisance, Ronnie's unpaid parking tickets landed him in custody, and the in-fighting over "grenades"...
