Tiger Woods and Lindsey Vonn have finally made their “down-low” relationship public. According to Usmagazine.com, the couple announced their relationship over Facebook on March 19th. They also posted their professionally photographed couple’s potraits along with the Facebook announcements A source told UsMagazince.com that, “They’re a really happy couple — not living together yet.” Woods, 37-year-old professional golfer, announced that him and Vonn have “become very close and dating.” Vonn, 28-year-old professional skier, gushed “it makes me very happy”. But we can’t help but think, what about Woods’ past? After being married to ex-wife, Elin Nordegren, for 6 six years, Woods was caught cheating with multiple women. Is Vonn going to let that bother her? “He confessed everything in his past to her and stuff – they’re really into each other.” claimed a source. Woods has two kids, Sam, 5, and Charlie, 4.

The breaking news this week is that pro golfer Tiger Woods and popular skiier Lindsey Vonn are officially dating. Many are skeptical of this situation, as Tiger is still getting over his reputation as a cheater stemming from the scandal with his ex-wife, Elin Nordegren. Well, let me just say that Tiger has so many cheating scandals in his history that I doubt he could be faithful again unless there are some drastic changes involving his inner circle, lack of opportunity to cheat, and possible therapy.
Why, you ask? For one thing, he is surrounded by “yes” people who’s financial situation is dependent on Tiger. I don’t see them becoming moral against all odds and tying him up when he has the urge to cheat. They are loyal to him and will enable what isn’t good for him just to make him happy. They may rationalize: “It’s just women, and boys will be boys.”

The New Year is here, and even the biggest celebs in Hollywood know what that means: it’s time to pull out the glorious pen and paper. There is no better time like the present than to leave the daunting past behind in the tabloids, whether it is love drama with exes, juicy scandals or shocking infidelity. 2012 may have proved to be rocky for these celebrity couples, but the upcoming year just may be looking up if they write their New Year’s Resolution list with these things in mind:

In recent weeks, there has been a deluge of articles, advice columns, radio and television interviews and panel discussions on infidelity, due to the General Petraeus scandal in the United States. Having invested in 38 years of marriage, Petraeus threw caution to the wind, having an affair with a woman he had employed to write his biography.
You may be asking still how Petraeus, the director of the CIA, kept his affair concealed for so long and if he actually believed he could be successful in this kind of deception. Inevitably, America and the rest of the world became privy to a plethora of graphic details regarding the relationship with his mistress that we didn’t really need to know.

Wendy Williams speaks her mind about Heidi Klum’s new relationship and it is not nice. Last Tuesday on The Wendy Williams Show, Williams criticized the Victoria’s Secret model, insinuating that Klum and bodyguard boyfriend Martin Kirsten began their relationship while Klum was still married to Seal. She even went as far as implying that intimate moments may have taken place under Seal’s nose while Kirsten worked for the family the past four years. “Seal, you know what that means — and not just when you were out of town.” The TV host ended with giving Seal advice on revenge. “I don’t how much you’re worth, but she’s worth more. You need half. You need yourself a new girlfriend; someone young, hot and with a long future in modeling, and really fertile.”

Whatever her reasons were, Kirstie Alley just had to confess. In a surprise even to Entertainment Tonight’s host Chris Jacobs, Alley revealed on Monday night’s episode that she had a very emotional and secretive relationship with then costar Patrick Swayze, while they were filming the 1985 movie, North and South. What makes this gossip even juicier is that the DWTS contestant, 61, and Swayze were both married! To clarify the details, Alley stated how their “affair” was emotional and not physical. “We did not have an affair. But again, I think what I did was worse. Because I think when you fall in love with someone when you’re married, you jeopardize your own marriage and their marriage. It’s doubly bad.”

Hollywood romances are notorious for being short-lived and frequently ending because of infidelity. Many star couples beloved by fans have ended relationships because of the heartbreak and scandal caused by one partner’s wandering eye. No doubt healing any relationship scarred by cheating is difficult, but with the constant glare of the paparazzi and media, celebrities are in a far more challenging position when considering forgiving-and-forgetting their partner’s indiscretion. Here’s a look at a few high-profile couples who called it quits after an episode of the roaming-eye:

According to Celebuzz, Brown, who was seated at a different table than Rihanna, climbed over the center stage to get to her. The two then began to dirty dance with each other, unworried about the public. Late into the night, they eventually left separately. Where was Brown’s now ex-girlfriend and aspiring model Karrueche Tran, 23, in all this? Not by his side.

In wonderful world of Hollywood, maintaining both a long-lasting relationship and a fast-paced career is evidently a huge challenge.

5 reasons why "but we were drunk" is a lame excuse. Photo: monkeybusinessimages / Bigstock.com
By Evan Goldaper
Nobody’s perfect, and we all do things we regret every now and then, especially while in love. Of course, if you and your partner are close, you can expect them to forgive you when you make a mistake. But as Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson have shown, infidelity can be tough for anyone to overcome.
What can make a regretful situation even worse is if you try to make an excuse for your behavior. If you’ve done something while drunk and expect that to be an acceptable justification, you might find your partner even less understanding. “But we were drunk!” might be a classic explanation, but it’s very unconvincing. Here are five reasons why you shouldn’t expect that to be a perfect failsafe:

Watch out ladies, because Liberty Ross officially steals the title for Miss Independent. The British model stepped out in Los Angeles on Sunday with her two, young kids and a big smile. The only thing missing? Her wedding ring. Despite what the photos show, a source tells UsMagazine.com, “Liberty is very upset but hasn’t made any decisions. It’s too early to tell what will happen with them.” What we do know from the source is that the 33-year old was aware of Sanders’ affair with Snow White and the Huntsman star Kristen Stewart before the photos were ever leaked. The couple has not spoken post-cheating scandal.

On Friday, Reese Witherspoon stepped out in public for the first time since she lent her ranch to Robert Pattinson.

Yes, we’re also still shocked that someone could actually cheat on a man-god like Robert Pattinson, but hey, that means he might be on the market, right? Unfortunately, it’s hard to be happy that the Twilight stud is single because sad just isn’t a good look for him. According to People, Rob is “heartbroken and angry, and sources tell the magazine that he’s been drinking and relying on friends to deal with the pain.” Kristen Stewart may have shattered his heart but she did publicly apologize and is not in the best shape after the split either.

It seems that Kristen Stewart’s shocking affair with her Snow White and the Huntsman director Rupert Sanders has marked the end of the actress’ off-screen Twilight fairytale with longtime boyfriend Robert Pattinson. One body language expert even says the 22-year old showed signs of her infidelity months before the release of the photos on July 17th. In reference to a picture with Stewart, two of her co-stars and Sanders’ wife, Liberty Ross at the movie’s premiere, Dr. Lillian Glass tells UsMagazine.com, “This is the photo of the ultimate betrayal. Kristen has got what’s called an ambivalent smile. Her eyes aren’t smiling, but she’s got like a half smile of her mouth.” Sounds like Stewart has bigger issues than simply choosing between Team Edward and Team Jacob.

However, we all know how Stewart feels after she made a very sincere and public apology.

Zac Efron’s well-publicized condom drop on the red carpet sparked Matt Lauer to comment, “Better to be safe than sorry, right?” Zac chuckled, “That’s a great message to add to the many messages in the film.”
Well, it turns out that “better to be safe than sorry” is a great message that applies not just to condoms, but also to relationships in general. Here are three times when it really IS better to be safe than sorry:

Although they got engaged in Switzerland last November, things have been questionable between The Bachelor‘s Ben Flajnik and Courtney Robertson. In the show’s After the Final Rose episode, Chris Harrison asked the duo about cheating rumors which have been circulating about Flajnik. Although Flajnik ultimately denied the rumors, according to UsMagazine.com, there’s indisputable evidence in the form of three photos catching him in the act. The photos supposedly prove that he’s had “more than friend” relations with at least three women since being engaged to Robertson. One insider says, “Ben did not seem to care who saw him, considering his status on a prime-time reality show about finding true love.” Perhaps the truth will come out soon!
