With the gossip mills running absolutely wild, Tiger Woods decided to finally make a statement to the press. Immediately after Tiger crashed his Escalade into a fire hydrant and a tree on November 27, the tabloids began speculating.

What was he doing out in the wee hours of the morning? And why did he have random facial injuries when the airbag in his car deployed? People were saying that perhaps his wife assaulted him with a golf club. But why?

Rumor has it that Tiger has allegedly been carrying on an extramarital affair for over two years - behind his wife Elin's back. Supposedly, when she found out, she went crazy and attacked him. While Tiger never confirmed or denied the chatter, he did release the following statement today on his personal website:

"I have let my family down and I regret those transgressions with all of my heart," he writes. "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."

Aren't we all?

In an interview with Ok! magazine, mega star Lady Gaga admitted to struggling with a form of depression for many years. She said: "I have a chronic sadness that recurs. The lowest point was in Australia in May. I was overwhelmingly sad, and I didn't know why, because I had all these things to be happy about."

Rather than allow it to ruin her, Lady Gaga found a way to incorporate the sadness into her music. Perhaps it's her own personal form of therapy?

She went on to say: "I went to the studio and played for hours, and I wrote what is going to be the greatest record of my career. I remember watching the mascara tears flood the ivories. I've been trained to love my darkness."

Rumors began circulating over the holiday weekend that actress Reese Witherspoon and her boyfriend Jake Gyllenhaal decided to break up. Word on the street was that their two-year relationship was over. We didn't hear any details, but that didn't stop the gossip mills from turning. Did Reese, 33, and Jake, 28, really call it quits on what seemed like the perfect relationship?

In an effort to do some damage control, Reese's rep spoke to Us Weekly about the latest breakup rumor. "It's not true. They have not split," was all that was said. Isn't that what they always say? Until the official word hits the press of course.
