Tiger Woods Visited By Child Protective Services

The Florida Department of Children and Families (DCF) escorted by deputies from the Orange County Sheriff's Department, visited Tiger Woods' home Saturday. Capt. Angelo Nieves of the Orange County Sheriff's Department confirmed that "our deputies met with members of the Department of Children and Families." The details are being kept secret, but the mid-day visit to Woods' home came after the DCF received a complaint. From whom, and for what, we don't know. A rep for the DCF later said in a statement that it was a "well-being check." It is unclear if Tiger and/or Elin Woods were in the house at the time of the visit. DEEPER INTO THE WOODS:...

Happy 21st Birthday, Vanessa Hudgens!

For her 21st birthday, Vanessa Hudgens will not be receiving a digital camera from The Hollywood Gossip. However, our staff has chipped in and purchased many layers of clothing for the young star. After all, we wanna see her succeed on the big screen... just not as an adult film actress! The rising star celebrates a milestone today, finally turning the legal drinking age. We'd imagine she raises a flute of champagne or two with dreamy boyfriend Zac Efron. What do you get a young woman that has a successful career and a hunk on her arm? Aside from advice to never pose naked again, we can only come up with birthday wishes from an adoring public....

Playgirl Nixes Tiger Woods Nude Pictures

At least some wood will be left in Tiger's bag ... or something. After rumors that we might see Tiger Woods nude in Playgirl surfaced, we thought we might see the world's top golfer give Levi Johnston a run for his naked money. But the mag has decided not to move forward with a spread. "Playgirl has decided to turn down the alleged Tiger Woods nude photos, reportedly taken by camera phone by Woods himself," said Daniel Nardicio, the director of marketing for Playgirl. "This is a direction Playgirl does not want to take." "We prefer subjects who are willing." That's what the world's #1 golfer said ... about his mistresses! Just kidding, although...

Orlando Bloom & Miranda Kerr: Supposedly Engaged!

According to reports, Pirates of the Caribbean star Orlando Bloom is engaged to his model girlfriend Miranda Kerr. No, for real, this time he supposedly is. Reports say he popped the question while on vacation in Morocco. They reportedly got engaged in May, too, but that was bogus. Is this time the real deal? He and the Victoria's Secret model have been dating for nearly three years. According to OK!, the brother of Miranda Kerr confirmed the news, saying: "He's finally done it. Orlando proposed. They're getting married.” Well, that's good enough for us! The pair, who've been denying rumors of wedding bells for months, are reportedly planning...

Celebrity of the Year Finalist #7: Taylor Swift!

As the calendar gets ready to flip over to 2010, The Hollywood Gossip staff is looking back on the year that was. We're excited to present out 10 finalists for our prestigious, Third Annual Celebrity of the Year award. These A-listers have given us their best, their worst, their naked pics (sometimes) and their hysterical, off-the-wall antics (often). It's time for THG to pay tribute to their unique greatness. Last week, we continued the 2009 countdown with Carrie Prejean at number-eight. (No, it wasn't that low because she's Christian.) Today: Celebrity of the Year finalist #7 … Taylor Swift! When the 2009 kicked off, Swift was a modestly...

Cori Rist: Tiger Woods Unhappy with Marriage

Cori Rist, woman #5 or #6 (who even knows anymore) on the long-ass list of Tiger Woods mistresses, is breaking her silence about her fling with the golfer. On the Today show Monday, she confirmed that she met Woods at a New York club in 2006 when his trainer invited Cori and friends to join Tiger for a drink. "He was not afraid to show his affectionate side in front of everybody that was there," said Rist. "He was very affectionate, and he led me by the hand." "Then we just kind of disappeared, and that was the start." While she said she knew he was married (unlike Jaimee Grubbs' BS story), Rist said Tiger Woods always told her his marriage to...

Elin Woods: The Wedding Ring is Off!

After weeks in seclusion, Tiger Woods' wife Elin was finally spotted in public this weekend - sans wedding ring - at a gas station near the Woods' Florida home. Elin Nordegren Woods ventured out to take the couple's two children to a Christmas party Sunday, and The Sun (UK) has pics to show the ring wasn't worn. She normally wears it, too, so this can't be a good sign for Tiger. He's been trying to reconcile with Elin, but she is rumored to be planning to divorce him. Elin Woods' ring-less outing also came amid reports the sex scandal-plagued family was paid a visit by the Florida Department of Children and Families. The child services visit,...

It's a Boy for Kourtney Kardashian, Scott Disick!

Pray with us, THG readers. Kourtney Kardashian gave birth to a boy this morning, prompting a nationwide need to stop, bow our heads and ask the Man Upstairs to look after this addition to the Kardashian clan. He'll need all the help he can get.

Confirmed Kourt's publicist, at approximately 12:30 p.m. EST: "Kourtney just delivered a healthy baby boy about an hour ago." Earlier this week, sisters Khloe and Kim Kardashian...

Accenture to Pull Ads, Cut Ties with Tiger Woods

Global consulting giant Accenture dumped cheating golf legend Tiger Woods yesterday, saying he is "no longer the right representative" of the company. Woods' firing by Accenture will cost him $7 million a year. Accenture is the first corporate sponsor known to have severed all ties with Woods, although AT&T and Gillette have also stopped running ads showing Tiger. Nike and video game maker EA are standing by Tiger - for now. But with Elin Woods' wedding ring off, various babes still coming out of the woodwork and Tiger on an indefinite break from golf, he's creating terrible PR 24/7 and not even competing in the sport he rules. Not what...

Barack Obama Gives Himself "B-Plus" on Oprah

On Oprah Winfrey's "White House Christmas Special," President Barack Obama gave himself a "good, solid B-plus" in his first year in the Oval Office. The Nobel Prize winner credited his administration with getting the economy on track, winding down the Iraq war and making the decision in Afghanistan. He also said America has "reset" its prestige in the world and made progress toward halting development of nuclear weapons in Iran and North Korea. Health care reform would boost his grade to an A-minus, he said, but until that and more people finding work "I can't give myself the grade I'd like." Barack Obama and his old friend and supporter, Oprah...

Jersey Shore Cast Calls Out The Hills

Just two weeks and three episodes into its first season, Jersey Shore has become a bona fide hit for MTV. Not that its cast is at all surprised or humble. The reality show's following grew to 2.1 million viewers last week, a 50-percent bump over the two-hour premiere, which sparked some serious buzz. Whether the show can sustain that growth - are the ratings just a result of early hype, or are people actually getting hooked? - remains to be seen. Regardless, the Jersey Shore cast is feeling pretty good about things these days. Good enough, at least, to talk some sh!t about another MTV show. "We're better than The Hills," Nicole Polizzi, a.k.a....
