Elin Nordegren was spotted back in Florida today, pushing children, Sam, 2, and Charlie, 11 months, in a wagon at a park near her Windermere home.
Elin celebrated the holidays (and her 30th birthday) in the French Alps with her twin sister and her family, while Tiger was rumored to be anywhere from rehab in Arizona, to Palm Beach, to South Africa.
Although the couple spent Christmas apart, Tiger reportedly made up for his absence (and his cheating!) with a $300 million dollar Xmas gift.

Yup, 43-year-old Olivier Martinez's new girlfriend is Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, a 22-year-old Victoria's secret model who looks like she just graduated from middle high school. How does he do it? Is it his sexy accent, his handsome face, or is he just that slick?
The lovebirds were spotted going for a stroll in Paris yesterday, and it looks like the Brit model has no qualms about dating a man twice her age. But what about when he's in his sixties?

American-born Madonna topped a list of the most written-about celebs of the previous decade in the UK, coming in number one with 45,633 articles in print.
Although Madge, who married Brit Guy Ritchie ten years ago, dominated the press for the first six years of the 2000s, losing out in 2007 to celebs Kate Moss, Amy Winehouse, Britney Spears and Victoria Beckham, according to a study commissioned by online UK TV channel Liv.
Number two on the list was Robbie Williams, with 27,976 mentions. Britney Spears, who practically owned the decade in the US (due to her colossal successes and even bigger breakdowns) just missed out on the number two spot to come in at 3 in the UK with 27,910.

Lenny Kravitz took to Twitter to explain the leaked track of Another Day, the single he wrote and produced for Michael Jackson, that was just leaked to the web.
"A part of the song leaked, not by me. The version that is out is a minute and thirty seconds of the track, not mixed, but it is the track," Kravitz said via video. "The DJ speaking over the track, I don't know who that person is, I don't know how they obtained it but that person has nothing to do with the track."
Lenny went on to say that working with Michael "was one of the most amazing musical experiences I've ever had."
He added, "I'd like to see this thing straightened out as soon as possible. I'd like for you the fans, the people who love michael, to hear the track in it's entirety, the way it was meant to be. The way Michael and I had intended it to be."

Hidden Hills, that is!
Marc Anthony and Jennifer Lopez have purchased this massive $10 million mansion in Hidden Hills, and it looks like they will have plenty of space and privacy for their family. The property sits on three acres of land and boasts 9 bedrooms, 12 bathrooms and amenities such as a tennis court, a pool, a 20-seat home theater, a gym and even a recording studio.
And yes, this is in the same 'hood as the Kardashians...think they'll get together for some pool parties and BBQs? You never know!

You know Bow Wow must have been effed up if Chris Brown was the voice of reason on New Year's Eve!
Bow Wow took to Twitter to brag about being "young", "rich," and "f*cked up" while driving, and apparently pal Chris Brown, who was also at the Fontainebleau Miami Beach's LIV Nightclub, was the one who was trying to calm him down!
"Im bout to be f*cked up n drunk tweeting. Im saying sorry now for what i might tweet. But f*ck it ! Im young n rich im goin hard 2nite," Bow Wow tweeted from the party.
"He was out of control," one partygoer told the NY Daily News. "Chris seemed like he was taking care of him - he had two security guards with him at all times and was making sure Bow Wow didn't do anything too stupid."
But apparently there was a huge FAIL, because minutes later Bow Wow tweeted, "Face numb im whippin the lambo. Tipsy as fuck. Just left the @livmiami Im fucked up!!! Ohhhh damn. Y i drive the lambo. Chris might have to drive after next spot"
One witness says, "The valet looked skeptical and asked him if he was okay to drive. But Bow Wow didn't look happy that he asked that - and the valet just gave him his keys. It would have been a huge scene if they denied him his car."
It would have been a bigger scene if they had gotten into a wreck!
But clearly everything turned out fine, because the next day, Bow Wow tweeted, "Apologize for that tweet. it was stupid and immature. not a way i want to kick my #2010 year off. i got too much good stuff lined up. my bad"

Whitney Port spent the holidays back in her hometown of sunny LA where she and a gal-pal hit up club Voyeur Saturday night.
Whitney said she just kissed a friend, "a male friend," during the countdown, and said her new year's resolution was to "keep in better touch with my family and friends!"
Considering that she doesn't seem to actually live on the east coast full time (just when she's shooting her show?), we can't imagine that would be too hard to live up to!

Oh joy! It looks like we'll be seeing and hearing more of Kanye West in 2010...
The controversial rapper is back in the studio working on some new tunes, and he posted the following message on his official blog:
"FIRST OF ALL, I WANT TO THANK EVERYBODY FOR THEIR CONSTANT LOVE AND SUPPORT OVER THESE PAST 6 YEARS! I'M SO HAPPY TO BE BACK IN THE STUDIO MAKING NEW MUSIC. I WILL BRING YOU THE BEST I HAVE TO OFFER WITH THE SAME DEDICATION THAT KOBE HAS ON THE COURT. IT'S FUNNY HOW SO MANY RAPPERS GET WORSE AS THEIR CAREERS STRETCH OUT BUT TRUE POETS GET BETTER. WE WILL FOLLOW IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF MAYA ANGELOU, GILL SCOTT HERRON AND NINA SIMONE. THEIR WORK IMPROVED WITH TIME. THEY DOCUMENTED WHAT WAS HAPPENING IN CULTURE. THAT IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY AS THE MODERN DAY ARTISTS AND POETS, TO ACCURATELY REPRESENT WHAT IS HAPPENING NOW, SO WHEN THE POWERS THAT BE TRY TO REWRITE HISTORY YOU CAN ALWAYS LOOK AT OUR WORKS AND FIND TRUTH AND SINCERITY IN A WORLD OF PROCESSED INFORMATION. LET US SOAK IN POSITIVE FORCES AND LOOK DOWN ON UPON THOSE WHO MASQUERADE AS TRUTH TELLERS AND OBJECTIVE FACT GIVERS WHEN IN REALITY EVERYTHING THAT IS PROJECTED HAS AN AGENDA OF BRAINWASHING US, THE "CONSUMER", THE PUBLIC, TO BELIEVE WHAT THEY WANT US TO. LET US LOOK PAST HEADLINES AND DEAL WITH JUST A BIT OF REALITY IN THIS NEW DECADE. WE HAVE OUR OWN OUTLETS NOW. WE DON'T HAVE TO BELIEVE EVERYTHING ANYMORE. NOW I'LL FIGURE OUT A WAY TO MAKE THAT RYHME LOL!!!"
Uh, Kanye? I have a bone to pick with you over this bit right here: "IT'S FUNNY HOW SO MANY RAPPERS GET WORSE AS THEIR CAREERS STRETCH OUT BUT TRUE POETS GET BETTER." While your first three albums were pretty awesome, 808s & Heartbreaksucked big time was a major step back, so please don't toot your horn and compare yourself to true artistic legends like Maya Angelou. Seriously. You're not a poet, you're a rapper with decent taste in clothes and a penchant for stealing microphones from unsuspecting musicians at awards shows. That's pretty much it.
