(HOLLYSCOOP) -- We’ve just learned of three more people who made this year’s list of Barbara Walters’ Most Fascinating People! And their names are Paris Jackson, Prince Michael Jackson, and Blanket Jackson!

According to ABC, Michael Jackson’s children are on the list, but did not claim the number one spot. Barbara was also unable to interview the three children for the program, but the special will include a profile of the late singer’s children.

In choosing people for the list, Walters said, “All of our subjects have been through extremely significant events in their personal lives or careers this year.”

As Hollyscoop previously reported, others on the list include Lady Gaga, Glenn Beck, Tyler Perry, Sarah Palin, Brett Favre, and, as Gossip Cop noted last week, Kate Gosselin, South Carolina’s First Lady Jenny Sanford, whose husband Governor Mark Sanford cheated on her, and Adam Lambert.

Tune in on December 9th to see who the number one person is!

(HOLLYSCOOP) -- Tiger Woods' wife Elin Nordegren may have sat quickly in the sidelines for years without making a peep, but when it looks like she's a feisty little wifey after all.

Elin reportedly confronted Tiger's mistress Jaimee Grubbs after she realized Tiger was making a lot of calls to a mystery number.

As Hollyscoop had previously reported, Tiger and Elin had reportedly gotten into an argument just moments before he crashed his car outside their Florida home in the early hours last Friday.

That same night Grubbs got a phone call from a blocked number and when she answered she realized it was Elin. According to TMZ, Elin didn't identify herself by name but said, "You know who this is because you're f**king my husband."

Earlier this morning we posted an audio clip of what sounds like Tiger Woods asking his mistress to remove her name from her voicemail message because his wife "was getting suspicious." Looks like Elin's suspicions were right on!

Tiger already released a statement about his "sins," but it looks like more mistresses are coming out of the woodwork on a daily basis. Things aren't looking good for Tiger and Elin! More details coming soon!

UPDATE: According to Us Weekly, this so-called conversation never happened!

Grubbs said, "Elin has never called me as far as I know. I did get a call from an unknown number last Tuesday (the same day as Tiger left me a message), but I never picked up."

(HOLLYSCOOP) -- And then there were three. More women seem to be coming out of the woodwork! This morning yet another woman was named in the Tiger Woods cheating scandal. Her name is Kalika Moquin (pictured below), and she’s the marketing manager for The Bank nightclub in Las Vegas.

A source tells Life & Style Kalika has hooked up with Tiger on multiple occasions in Vegas on the weekend of October 23rd. "They've hooked up a bunch of times," the source said.

"Tiger told Kalika that married life isn't all it's built up to be. He said he wasn't happy in his marriage or his home life and that there was just so much pressure on him."

When asked to comment, Kalika replied, "It's not appropriate for me to comment one way or the other. At this time, I'm just choosing to focus on my job."

Meanwhile, Kalika's younger sister, Kira, tells Hollywood Life that her sister never hooked up with Tiger and the story is completely fabricated. “It’s all B.S.” she told said. “I don’t know who’s making it up.”

She added, “As far as what I know, she’s never told me anything about being with Tiger, and we’re very close.” She also said that her sister “is freaking out” over the allegations.

Things are just getting messier and messier for Tiger. Let’s hope he has a good pre-nup!

(HOLLYSCOOP) -- Kate Hudson is Harper's Bazaar's January cover girl looking gorgeous as always.

Inside she chats about her boyfriend Alex Rodriguez, pregnancy, engagement and break up rumors, heartbreak and why her and Chris got divorced.

Kate on failed relationships: “No matter how many times my heart breaks, I’ll never be any different.”

Kate on why heartbreak is worth the risk: "I'd rather hang out with a person who's done everything than who's done nothing. It would suck to die and not have experienced my life, really. I mean, I think you should keep your eyes open. Blinders are fun for a second, but they have to come off eventually. And I believe it's important to get to know people, to really get to know them."

Kate on pregnancy, engagement and break up rumors: "I'm not pregnant," she says. "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."

Kate on why she doesn't talk about her relationships:
"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."

Kate on not feeling pressure from family or friends to avoid Alex Rodriguez because of his past mistakes: "I don't really have friends like that," Kate says. "My mother never shook anybody's hand. She has kissed and hugged her way through life. [My family had] an open-door policy. We were never afraid to bring the wrong person home. They were always open to our failures."

Kate on the photo of her and A-Rod kissing: "There's a guy that's shooting probably 60 frames a minute. That was a sideswipe on the cheek. That wasn't even a kiss. I quickly kissed the cheek. And I remember one of the headlines the next day said, 'Makeout Session'. What is wrong with people?"

Kate on Chris Robinson: "Chris is a great dad. I feel really lucky. When we first met, it was so immediate. I had no question in my mind I was supposed to marry him and have children with him."

(HOLLYSCOOP) -- David Beckham is reportedly devastated after hearing news that his grandfather has passed away. According to the Daily Mail, David was very close with 83-year old Joe West, who acted like a mentor to the soccer star.

Beckham received the terrible news today just hours after he arrived in South Africa to help England's bid to host the 2018 World Cup. David had just flown into Cape Town to fulfill his commitments, and now his family is urging him to stay to finish his job.

A friend said: "David is absolutely devastated. He was so close to Joe, who was his mentor. He'd only just got off the plane when he heard the news.

"His family are urging him to stick to his work commitments and leave at the end of the week, but there is no way that David wants to miss Joe's funeral. If he has to fly home, then so be it."

Joe came down with a serious illness in August, and the Beckhams rushed back from LA to the UK after he was taken into hospital.

Such sad news. Even when a close family member is already ill, there’s nothing to prepare you for their death. We wish David and the Beckham family our condolences at this time.

(HOLLYSCOOP) -- Tiger Woods has stayed relatively mum about his recent car accident and accusations of an affair--until now.

The pro golfer just released a lengthy statement on his website talking about how he let his family down and how he regrets his actions. Read his apology statement below and tell us your thoughts on it...

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.

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.

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.

(HOLLYSCOOP) -- Tiger Woods has dug himself a hole so deep he can't even see the light at this point. As Hollyscoop reported yesterday, a new woman has come forward claiming she's been having an affair with Tiger.

A Los Angeles cocktail waitress named Jaimee Grubbs claims she's been having an affair with Tiger for 31 months! And she has texts and voicemails to prove it!

LISTEN TO THE VOICEMAIL HERE

In the voicemail Tiger is asking Grubbs to remove her name from her voice message system because his wife Elin "went through my phone and may be calling you."

"Hey, it's Tiger," he says in the voicemail, obtained by Us Weekly. "I need you to do me a huge favor. Can you please take your name off your phone? My wife went through my phone and may be calling you. So if you can, please take your name off that. Just have it as a number on the voicemail. You got to do this for me. Huge. Quickly. Bye."

Grubbs, who once appeared on VH1's Tool Academy, claims she started her affair with Tiger back in April 2007 and she's had over 20 sexual encounters with him. She's reportedly been bragging about her affair with Tiger for months now so we're surprised this information is just now getting leaked.

Tiger refused to speak to authorities about what led up to his car accident on Friday morning but FHP says there were "no claims of domestic violence by any individual" in the case and that were was "insufficient evidence" to try to seek Woods' medical records, so he won't face any criminal charges.

He may have avoided the police, but the more he avoids the media, the guiltier he looks. America can be very forgiving--but only when celebrities come clean. Come on Tiger, we're all waiting to hear your side of the story!

(HOLLYSCOOP) -- The world is about to become a cuter place. Word on the block is that Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are planning on having baby #2 sometime next year.

The couple, who celebrated their third anniversary last month, both agree that they want adorable little Suri to have a sibling and the sooner they give her one, the better.

A friend of the couple told OK! magazine: “She no longer feels like she’s just Mrs. Cruise. She’s her own person again. She and Tom have their disagreements, but deep down they love each other very much. That’s what is important.”

Katie just wrapped up shooting for two movies, The Extra Man Mary and Don't Be Afraid of the Dark and hasn't taken on a new project just yet because she reportedly wants to take a break to expand her family.

Based on how adorable 3-year-old Suri is, we honestly can't wait to hear pregnancy news from the Tomkat clan.

(HOLLYSCOOP) -- Adam Lambert certainly raised eyebrows with his provocative sexual charged American Music Awards performance last Sunday. And while he's still feeling the backlash from the performance, it turns out the one person he can't rely on for support is his family.

Adam's father was reportedly so upset with him over the performance he wants his son to make a public apology for it.

Adam has already said that he "got caught up in the moment and maybe went a little too far," but he doesn't think he should have to apologize for putting on a performance, after all, it was just For Your Entertainment.

Speaking to Ellen Degeneres on her talk show, Adam revealed, "My dad was like, 'I think you should apologize, Adam. I don't know. Maybe you should do that.'

"I was like, 'Well dad, I don't feel like I did anything wrong; it just maybe wasn't the right judgment call.'"

So how does Adam feel about getting axed from Good Morning America following his AMA performance? He said, "I don't blame them. I got carried away."

Thanks to Adam's racy performance all stars who will perform on an award show on ABC will now have to sign legal documents that say their live performance will be very similar to what they rehearse before the show.

Do you think Adam is getting too much heat for his AMA performance? Should he issue a public apology?

(HOLLYSCOOP) -- Bono's bank account is as big as his heart--and that's saying a lot! But the U2 rocker is starting to think he's seriously overpaid for what he does.

Bono, who has an estimated net worth of almost $700 million, says he donates as much money as he can to charity because he thinks he makes more than he deserves.

Speaking at the launch of Nike's 'Lace Up, Save Lives' campaign, which aims to raise awareness and funds for the (Red) charity, Bono said: "I am very well paid, overpaid and even over-rewarded for what I do."

The charity event was attended by a number of football stars and Bono added: "These guys are very wealthy. But a lot of these soccer guys are giving something back and they don't need to do that."

Bono has donated millions of dollars to various charity campaigns throughout the year so he's truly an inspiration.

Throughout his career he's received 3 nominations for the Nobel Peace Prize, and was even knighted in 2007! If only there were more celebrities like you Bono--the world would truly be a better place!

(HOLLYSCOOP) -- Natalie Portman has already conquered so much in her life, she feels like she's finally grown up and is ready to take on the next chapter of her life. And that chapter has a baby in it.

Portman, 28, says she's finally at a point in her life where she feels responsible enough to take on motherhood.

She said: "I feel like I'm coming into my womanhood, and I'm less afraid or maybe I'm just getting old. I think about having kids, but I think you can't plan for that sort of thing. It's not like you can work at it."

Portman explains that she started to feel maternal after playing Grace Cahill in her latest flick Brothers alongside Tobey Maguire and Jake Gyllenhaal.

She explained: "It was such a fantastic opportunity because so many parts written for females my age are just like the cute, girlish love interest. To get to play a real woman who's really strong and a good mother was really a great opportunity.

"It was not that challenging to be mother-ish because I have the most maternal mom in the world. So I've had a role model for my entire life."

She seems like she would make a great mother! Which celebrity would you love to see get pregnant in 2010?

(HOLLYSCOOP) -- Joanna Krupa is in trouble with the Catholic Church! Her sexy PETA ad was released today that features her floating like an angel over a group of dogs while holding a giant crucifix over her lady parts.

We must say, Joanna looks great. But the Church isn’t exactly impressed. Deal Hudson, publisher of InsideCatholic.com, said in a statement, “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."

Catholic League President Bill Donohue also responded with a statement of his own: "The fact is that cats and dogs are a lot safer in pet stores than they are in the hands of PETA employees. Moreover, pet stores don't rip off Christian iconography and engage in cheap irreligious claims.

"PETA is a fraud. It also has a long and disgraceful record of exploiting Christian and Jewish themes to hawk its ugly services. Those who support this organization sorely need a reality check. They also need a course in Ethics 101."

But Joanna isn’t just sitting pretty here. She blasts the Catholics’ claims, saying they have no right to judge her. She responded, saying, "As a practicing Catholic, I am shocked that the Catholic League is speaking out against my PETA ads. I'm doing what the Catholic Church should be doing, working to stop senseless suffering of animals, the most defenseless of God's creation."

Take a look at the ad and vote for yourself! Is the ad racy and sacrilegious, or is Joanna just doing her job as a spokesperson for animals who are mistreated?

(HOLLYSCOOP) -- Tiger Woods managed to avoid criminal charges today for his car accident last Friday. The Florida Highway Patrol announced today that Tiger is a fault for the crash, though no criminal charges will be pursued.

He will, however, be cited for the accident that occurred outside his Orlando mansion, and will be fined $164. That’s pretty much chump change to Tiger. The investigation into the matter is also closed as of today.

According to the official police report, Woods crashed his SUV into a fire hydrant and a tree at 2:25 a.m. Friday. The airbags did not deploy and Woods’ wife told Windermere police she used a golf club to smash the back windows to help him out.

In regards to the fight Tiger was having with his wife over an alleged affair, Sgt. Kim Montes of the FHP says there were "no claims of domestic violence by any individual" in the case and that were was "insufficient evidence" to try to seek Woods' medical records.

She said, "Mr. Woods has satisfied the requirements of Florida law.”

That’s at least one positive thing in this whole mess. Unfortunately now Tiger has to start patching up things at home. And it doesn’t help that a second woman has now come forward claiming to have had an affair with him.

(HOLLYSCOOP) -- We know John Mayer is a player, but is he really stooping as low as Lindsay Lohan? Eyewitnesses spotted the two hanging out last night in New York City!

Lindsay and John reportedly hit up hotspot Butter and were not only seen dancing in the nightclub, but sharing a table together as well.

Sources say Lindsay was looking at John like a little puppy dog, but the feeling wasn’t reciprocal on his end.

"She would follow his every move," the source tells E! News. "He would dance with the waitresses and then come back. She was way into it."

The eyewitness says while John downed shots of Belvedere vodka, Lindsay opted out—at least while people were looking anyway! But they must have been enjoying each other’s company a little bit because they partied at Butter until 3am.

No word on whether or not John and Lindsay left together, and his rep replied with a “no comment” when asked why they were hanging out together.

Lindsay went straight to her Twitter account to recall the experience, writing to John, “shhhhhhhhhhhhhh butter-face :).”

Awww, cute. They have an inside joke now.

(HOLLYSCOOP) -- You may feel like you’ve heard and seen enough of both Kate Gosselin and Sarah Palin in the span of this year, but Barbara Walters still considers them to be fascinating.

The two women made the list of Barbara’s annual “Most Fascinating People” 2009 edition. Sarah was photographed this week with the talk show queen as she conducted her interviews with each person.

Kate may have made the list, but unfortunately for Jon Gosselin, he won’t be getting any free press from Barbara!

(HOLLYSCOOP) -- Just when Tiger Woods thought his cheating scandal was about to die down, another woman has come forward claiming she did the nasty with Tiger.

A Los Angeles cocktail waitress named Jaimee Grubbs claims she's been having an affair with Tiger for 31 months! Yes, 31 months! And she's got voicemails and text messages to prove it. Naughty, naughty!

Grubbs, who once appeared on VH1's Tool Academy, claims she started her affair with Tiger back in April 2007 and she's had over 20 sexual encounters with him.

And if that's not bad enough, she claims to have 300 racy texts from Tiger as well, reports Us Weekly.

Tiger married his wife Elin Nordegren back in 2004 so we're sure she's not going to be too thrilled about Grubbs' "20 sexual encounters" claims.

As Hollyscoop had previously reported, Tiger and his wife Elin had reportedly gotten into an argument right before his car accident Friday morning.

Tiger is still refuses to speak to police about the incident and what led up to it, so everyone is anxiously waiting to see how this story will unfold. More details coming soon!

(HOLLYSCOOP) -- Mila Kunis is easily one of the hottest women in the biz. Her gorgeous eyes and smile can melt any man's heart in a minute, but in her new movie Black Swan, she's batting for the other team...sort of.

In the new issue of Blackbook magazine, Mila talks about her sex scene with Natalie Portman, her new movie and whether or not she'll marry boyfriend Macaulay Culkin.

Here are some highlights from the interview via Just Jared:

Mila on ballet training for Black Swan, her new Darren Aronofsky-directed ballet drama starring Natalie Portman and Winona Ryder:
“I just skipped about 10 years of ballerina training and started as if I’m a professional. (laughs) Every day, I tore the ligaments in my calves and I would think, What am I doing to myself?”

Mila on being secretive for Black Swan:
“I just feel like such a douche because I can’t talk about it. It’s not even that big of a deal. It’s a f—ing movie. It’s not like I’m saving the world.”

Mila on her rumored sex scene with Natalie Portman in Black Swan:
“It’s two girls making out, and guys have a thing for that. And Nat is like every guy’s dream. She’s a nerd’s idea of heaven. The whole thing is silly, but I can see why people care.”

Mila on being an actress:
“I didn’t come to L.A. to become a famous actress. I lived in L.A. and I was an actress, and it was just like, Who am I? I loved what I did, but I didn’t like the judgment that came with it. It took me until I was 21 to realize that this is what I was going to do. I finally decided I’m not going to be embarrassed to write ‘actress’ on my medical forms.”

Mila on the prospect of marrying her boyfriend Macaulay Culkin:
“Not to say that I don’t believe in it, but it’s just not something that’s important to me. But I will have children. I’m too selfish to have them now, but when I do, I don’t feel like I need to be married. I need to have a person in my life who will care for me and my children—nothing else.”

(HOLLYSCOOP) -- Looks like things are really heating up between George Clooney and his new girlfriend Elisabetta Canalis. George has introduced his new Italian girlfriend to his mother Nina and they seem to be getting along very well!

George showed up to the Los Angeles premiere of his new movie Up in the Air on Monday night with his mother on one arm and his gal pal on the other.

After the group posed for the eager photographers, George did interviews with reporters solo while Elisabetta and Nina walked into the theaters hand in hand.

"Elisabetta and George's mother seemed to be getting along just great. They were chatting and laughing as if they've known each other for years," says our Hollyscoop spy.

When asked about his date on the red carpet, George joked, "Oh her? I just found some Italian girl and asked her to come with me!"

And LA isn't the only place George and Elisabetta have been heating up. On Monday morning the couple was spotted boarding a plane from Mexico to Los Angeles.

The committed bachelor went public with Elisabetta at the Venice Film Festival screening of Men Who Stare at Goats back in September so it looks like Elisabetta is becoming a red carpet regular.

So can Elisabetta finally get Hollywood's most eligible bachelor to settle down? It's looking good!

She’ll remain a part of the production for 10 weeks, through February 7, 2010. Ashlee’s entire fam turned out to see her perform including hubby Pete Wentz and sister Jessica Simpson.

After the performance, Jess took to her Twitter to praise her little sis, saying, “Roxie was all Heart!” Jessica Tweeted. “Watching her up on that grandiose stage made me the proudest sister in the world. I love ya honey, I love ya!. Grrrrrrr.”

And it seems everyone is doing well right now, despite some setbacks earlier in the year. Joe Simpson talked to Us Weekly, and said, "I'm proud because my children look at ups and downs and rise up above it all and remain strong. They are who they are, and that couldn't make me prouder as a dad to see them be strong. Right now, Jessica is in her element. We finished a great TV show that you'll be seeing in March, and I think you'll love it."

As for any eligible suitors looking to date his oldest daughter? Joe says, "You could never ask for a more loving woman and honest woman. That's all you got."

We hope 2010 is the year Jessica finally settles down with a good guy!

(HOLLYSCOOP) -- Google has just released their annual lists of who and what was search for the most in 2009. They break it down by category, and list the top five, whether it be “Rising Searches,” “News,” and “Images.”

Michael Jackson came in second place for the highest rising search term on the website, just under Twitter, which took the top spot.

Lady Gaga was named the most-searched image of the year. And Google’s Marissa Mayer appeared on the Today show this morning to explain why.

“The one that I think now is obvious but not in the beginning of the year is Lady Gaga,” said Mayer.

“She’s the number one image search fasting rising term. Because people are always wondering what she looks like. She looks different every time and they want to see all the different pictures and looks.”

That girl sure does know how to drum up publicity for herself! Check out the video below to see who else made the list!
