After his sex scandal that rocked the world, Tiger Woods has had many detractors, but one woman is fiercely defending him: His mom.

Kultida Woods gave her son a hug after he made his first public appearance yesterday to apologize for what he's done, telling him "I'll always be there for you." Now, she's telling reporters that she's upset that she is "upset the way media treated him like he’s a criminal. He didn't kill anybody, he didn’t do anything illegal," she said. Although if Tiger paid for sex, as some escorts have alleged, he WOULD have broken the law.

Kultida went on to say, "They've been carrying on from Thanksgiving until now, that’s not right."

Tiger fully admitted he had brought the attention on himself with his numerous indescretions, but asked that the media leave his family out of it.

After the apology heard 'round the world, many questioned Tiger's sincerity, and wondered if it was enough to at least start to improve his badly damaged image.

What do you think?

Jessica Alba left her adorable sidekick at home yesterday to pick up coffee and some snacks at Urth cafe.

Although Jess looked gorge in with her long blonde locks in Valentine's Day, we prefer her shorter brunette 'do!

Victoria, dressed in a black see-thru top, black sports bra and black baseball cap, ran errands around town in her black Range Rover, including a stop at Toys R Us, where she picked up all kinds of toys for her youngest boy Cruz, who turns 5 today!

We bet there will be a big to-do today at the Beckham house.

Happy birthday, Cruz!

Openly gay American Idol runner-up Adam Lambert admitted that he kissed Tik Tok singer Ke$ha -- and he liked it!

"She's really pretty and we were laughing and we just started kissing," he told WBLI's BLI In the Morning. "It was pretty innocent to be honest with you. I mean, it wasn't too dirty." Surprising for a girl who sings that she brushes her teeth "with a bottle of Jack!"

Adam officially came out on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine last year, but says he has no problemo kissing a girl, as long as she's got good "energy"!

And we're betting the 22-year-old is bubbling over with it!

Last night, after dining with her mane man Ken Paves at BOA Steakhouse, Jessica Simpson went over to Jane's House and left with this handsome gentleman at 2:40 am!

The pair first stopped for fourth meal at Carl's Jr., before going back to her house. Seems like Jess has definitely got an appetite for red meat!

Does this mean things with Billy Corgan are definitely over?

Heidi Montag showed off what $30,000 will apparently buy you last night at Voyeur, where she joined Stephanie, Lo and Audrina (with boyfriend Ryan Cabrera) to shoot a scene from the Hills.

We're hoping its an intervention scene where they tell Heidi her addiction to plastic surgery is turning her into Catwoman!

Yesterday, Heidi and Seal boarded a boat with their family to Catalina, including little Lou who's growing every day!

The four month old was joined by her big sister Leni and brother Henry and Johan on the trip over to island from Long Beach. Let's just hope no one got sea sick!

I mean really, does life get more glamorous than this?

That's why the world loves Queen P -- Paris Hilton is rich, pretty, loves to shop, loves pink, has a hot boyfriend -- and fans the world over adore her for these things!

Paris went to Fred Segal yesterday to pick up a few new dresses -- perhaps the one she wore to her second birthday party last night at her parents' house. The birthday never ends ... happy 29th, P!
