In a new statement, Tiger Woods apologizes to his family for his "infidelity" and says he’s decided to take "an indefinite break from professional golf."
“I am deeply aware of the disappointment and hurt that my infidelity has caused to so many people, most of all my wife and children. I want to say again to everyone that I am profoundly sorry and that I ask forgiveness. It may not be possible to repair the damage I've done, but I want to do my best to try.
“I would like to ask everyone, including my fans, the good people at my foundation, business partners, the PGA Tour, and my fellow competitors, for their understanding. What's most important now is that my family has the time, privacy, and safe haven we will need for personal healing.

ET has obtained court documents filed by Eddie Cibrian, in which the star seeks joint physical custody of his children with estranged wife Brandi Glanville, who he claims has physically and mentally abused him and won't allow him to see his children. Regarding his children -- Mason, 6, and Jake, 2, Cibrian claims in the papers: "[Glanville] is refusing to set a schedule for visitation with the minor children. My relationship with our minor children is the most important thing in my life. To be denied time with our minor children, just because the respondent is angry with me, is unfair to me and extremely detrimental to our minor children.” He claims that Glanville is full of "emotional rage" and "too angry with me to think of what is the best interest of our children."

Tiger Woods' alleged "mistress No. 1" Rachel Uchitel is weathering a media firestorm, and her lawyer, Gloria Allred, tells ET that a joke made on "The View" at Uchitel's expense is "defamatory." A crack made by Joy Behar on yesterday's show (where she said, "What's her name? Uchitel? Yeah, you could tell she's a hooker.") had the audience laughing, but not Uchitel or Allred. "That's very, very upsetting to our client Rachel because the statement is not true," says Allred. "It is false, it is defamatory and it is very damaging to her. She values her reputation and we have, as a result, asked ABC … to retract that statement."

Veteran figure skater Scott Hamilton returned to the ice after a five-year break at the Quicken Arena in Cleveland Ohio -- and it was all for a good cause! The evening benefited the 10th anniversary of Scott's cancer foundation, Scott CARES (Cancer Alliance for Research, Education and Survivorship) at the Cleveland Clinic Taussig Cancer Center. This year's gala ultimately raised $11 million for Scott CARES' outreach programs. Scott established his organization in 1999, two years after his bout with testicular cancer. The Olympic gold medalist will return to the ice after a five-year absence stemming back to when he was diagnosed with a benign pituitary brain tumor in 2004.
