Bye.” Grubbs has also released more than 300 text messages she received from Woods, one beginning “I will wear you out…” She told press, “I loved how we got along.  But I knew, in the back of my mind, there could never be just us.  There would always be the wife, or somebody else.”

That’s why I don’t shop online, because I can’t wait for the three days for it to get to me.  One day we were driving with my sister, and we went to the army surplus store, and the paparazzi were extremely confused, especially when I came out with a bunch of shopping bags.”

It’s creating a lot of tension on set,” a source told Hollywood Life. As for the reason for choosing Leighton over Taylor, the insider explains, “Leighton’s pop music fits the theme of Gossip Girl more than Taylor’s punk rock songs.” Doing their best to calm the situation, a rep for the CW later stated, “The show will support Taylor and her music when the time is right, but her music is not ready yet.”

Michaele Salahi: Virginia Vixen

In related news, Kate set the record straight about her rumored pregnancy during a recent interview with Harper’s Bazaar magazine. She explained, “I’m not pregnant. I can’t go two months without being pregnant, engaged, or breaking up because I’m too needy, which is always the one they love. I’m not needy. You kind of have to laugh it off, but it can kind of screw up other things around it.” As for why she keeps quiet about her personal life, Kate stated, “I have a child, and there are people involved, and it’s unfair to talk about somebody else, especially when you’re not in that place yet to be discussing those things. If I was sitting here with a belly out to here, I’d be talking about what the relationship is and how important that is in my life right now.”

Lily Allen: BBC Babe
Stepping out for a promotional appearance, Lily Allen was spotted arriving at BBC Madia Vale studio for a Live Lounge with Sara Cox today (December 2). The “Smile” songstress looked a bit groggy as she made her way inside, sporting a pink coat with black stockings and black heels. Lily recently told press that she’ll be quitting music in 2010 to “launch a record label and run a rental clothes store.” Miss Allen says her March gig in London is “the last thing I’ve got planned.  I’m just going to concentrate on doing some behind the scenes kind of stuff,” noting she will take “one or two years off from recording and performing music.” “I’m going to get into signing new bands, but at a really early level.  I don’t want to compete with other record companies, but I want to support new artists.” As for her clothes rental business, “It’s about making fashion democratic.  That’s the idea behind it. It’s about getting really nice clothes, but letting people rent them for affordable prices so they can go out and feel like a million dollars and it won’t cost them a million dollars.”

Cameron Diaz Praises Tom Cruise’s Stunt Skills

Tiger Woods Offers Up Profound Apology
Currently dealing with quite the test on his previously squeaky clean image, Tiger Woods has once again taken to his Web site to address his many fans. The golf phenom tells, “I have let my family down and I regret those transgressions with all of my heart. I have not been true to my values and the behavior my family deserves. I am not without faults and I am far short of perfect. I am dealing with my behavior and personal failings behind closed doors with my family. Those feelings should be shared by us alone.” The PGA pro continues, “Although I am a well-known person and have made my career as a professional athlete, I have been dismayed to realize the full extent of what tabloid scrutiny really means. For the last week, my family and I have been hounded to expose intimate details of our personal lives. The stories in particular that physical violence played any role in the car accident were utterly false and malicious. Elin has always done more to support our family and shown more grace than anyone could possibly expect. But no matter how intense curiosity about public figures can be, there is an important and deep principle at stake which is the right to some simple, human measure of privacy. I realize there are some who don’t share my view on that. But for me, the virtue of privacy is one that must be protected in matters that are intimate and within one’s own family. Personal sins should not require press releases and problems within a family shouldn’t have to mean public confessions.” Intent on keeping his family life private, Woods goes on to say, “Whatever regrets I have about letting my family down have been shared with and felt by us alone. I have given this a lot of reflection and thought and I believe that there is a point at which I must stick to that principle even though it’s difficult. I will strive to be a better person and the husband and father that my family deserves. For all of those who have supported me over the years, I offer my profound apology.”

An eyewitness told press, “Lindsay and Sam didn’t arrive together.  Lindsay walked in, and the two said a quick hello, but then Linds went to the table where John was sitting.  Lindsay looked upset that Sam hadn’t come over to her, and she started whispering to John, who looked like he was trying to calm her down.  She looked pretty angry. Then John got up and went to talk to Sam.” Then Mayer got up and talked to SamRo, bringing her back to the table where Lindsay was sitting.  “Lindsay seemed happier than she has in ages.  Sam eventually got up and deejayed for a while, and Lindsay kept standing up and looking over to the deejay booth, smiling.”

Talking about getting the opportunity to show off her very own line at Bergdorf Goodman in tonight’s finale, which airs at 10PM on MTV, Miss Port recently told the LA Times, “It was very scary for me, because there aren’t a lot of designers who show their first collection to Bergdorf. I obviously was really, really nervous and didn’t know if I was prepared. I had faith in my line, but I wasn’t even sure the line was ready to show to them. I didn’t have my hopes set at a very high level, because of that. Basically they gave me a lot of constructive criticism. They thought my Los Angeles aesthetic shined through the line a little too much. It was a learning experience for me. It’s just difficult because it’s all being shown on-camera. I’m getting judgments and opinions by more people than the norm.” Later asked if she continues to set boundaries to keep her personal life private, as she did on “The Hills,” Whitney revealed, “Basically, I decided I was going to take it day by day. I knew that if I decided to do “The City” that they were going to ask more of me than just going to work. I knew that if the show was going to be successful in this reality/soap opera arena, I was going to have to show a little bit more.” Miss Port continues, “What happened with me, which really opened up my comfort zone, was meeting Jay [Lyon] when I first went to New York. We were actually filming for “The Hills.” I instantly felt so comfortable and confident with him. He was actually willing to do the show and that just made it OK to do it for some reason. He just made it seem so carefree.”

Joanna Krupa: PETA Porn?
Stepping out in support of her latest PETA campaign, Joanna Krupa was spotted at the Westside Pavilion in Los Angeles yesterday (December 1). The former Playboy Playmate spoke with the press and greeted fans as she introduced her new ‘angelic’ poster for the animal rights organization. And though Miss Krupa says she’s perfectly comfortable appearing nude on the advertisement, many Christians are taking issue with the fact that she’s holding a crucifix to cover her breasts and genitals in the picture. One protester told press, “It’s totally inappropriate.  It’s another instance of disrespect toward Christianity and another example of the kind of abuse that would never occur with any other major religion, because the outcry would be so immediate and so loud that the people behind it would immediately retreat.” Krupa shot back, “I think worrying about going topless in a photo shoot or film is really ridiculous.  And the fact is, Pope John Paul said, since we were born naked, it is art, and it’s just showing a beautiful body that God created.”

Taking their turn on the New York City set, Leighton Meester and Ed Westwick were hard at work shooting scenes for “Gossip Girl” on Tuesday afternoon (December 1). With the Blair Waldorf babe and her Chuck Bass co-star stud both decked out in their typical fancy attire, the pair happened to be getting chased by fake paparazzi as the cameras rolled. In related news, it sounds as if Miss Meester is caught up in a bit of drama with fellow co-star Taylor Momsen - as The CW has played Leighton’s music on the show while not doing the same for Miss Momsen. “Taylor is not happy that Gossip Girl has been playing Leighton’s music on the show, and they have never asked to play any of her songs. It’s creating a lot of tension on set,” a source told Hollywood Life. As for the reason for choosing Leighton over Taylor, the insider explains, “Leighton’s pop music fits the theme of Gossip Girl more than Taylor’s punk rock songs.” Doing their best to calm the situation, a rep for the CW later stated, “The show will support Taylor and her music when the time is right, but her music is not ready yet.”
