Welcome, all, to The Hollywood Gossip’s Week in Review, where our staff recaps the wild week in entertainment news, celebrity gossip and rumors that was.

Some of the highlights (and lowlights) at THG from February 13-19 …

• Tiger Woods stood at a podium and read a carefully-worded apology statement that carried on way, way too long and contained very little of substance. Now he’s going back to sex rehab. His return to golf? Still unknown.
• Sarah Palin took offense to an episode of Family Guy - an equal opportunity offender - that appeared to mock her Down syndrome baby.
• American Idol revealed its top 24 for this spring. Ideal of luck to Andrew Garcia, Crystal Bowersox, Tyler Grady and the rest vying for stardom!

Worst. Apology. Ever.

• Miley Cyrus is totally not Justin Bieber’s type. Or ours.
• Elton John claims Jesus was gay. Interesting point.
• Jon Gosselin has a small package. Stubby one, too.
• Kristin Cavallari is reportedly coked up and gaunt.
• Tila Tequila announced her retirement. For an hour.
• Olympian Lindsey Vonn is causing quite a sexy stir.
• Two women remain on The Bachelor. One is crazy.
• This was the grossest Valentine’s Day spread ever.

Both of these couples just got engaged!

• Couple news: Nicole Richie and Joel Madden are engaged, as are Hilary Duff and Mike Comrie; Rielle Hunter and John Edwards supposedly are but we don’t purchase it; Brody Jenner and Avril Lavigne have been linked; Audrina Patridge and Ryan Cabrera are a rumored item, as are Akon and Ramona Rey.

Welcome, celebrity news fans around the world, to The Hollywood Gossip’s Week in Review. Here, we take a look back at some of the top stories of the past week.

Some of the highlights (and lowlights) at THG from January 23-29 …

• Despite breathtaking new scandal details and reports that he is a freak in the sack, it’s looking more and more like Tiger and Elin Woods will remain married.
• John Edwards’ former aide says he made a sex tape with Rielle Hunter and wanted his mistress to get an abortion. No wonder Elizabeth kicked him out.
• You Might Want to Rethink That Word Choice Award: Former NBA player Paul Shirley and MSNBC commentator Chris Matthews share that fine honor.
• The dust from the late night wars is settling, but the spin remains. Jay Leno played the victim on Oprah, while Jimmy Kimmel blatantly took him to task.

Jay Leno is still being called out over the Tonight Show fiasco.

• Rumors of Brangelina’s split escalated so much that their camp actually refuted one. Tabloids unanimously conspired to break them up later in the week.
• Tila Tequila called out THG personally for its coverage of her Twitter feud with Kelly Osbourne, then sold an alleged ultrasound photo to Radar On the internet.
• Fans of American Idol really loved Andrew Garcia (and Katy Perry as a guest judge) in Los Angeles; Fans of The Bachelor really hated Vienna Girardi.
• Lady Gaga addressed those hermaphrodite rumors and more.
• TMI Twitter pic of the week: Greg Oden nude. Really Greg?
• This Tim Tebow Super Bowl ad is already sparking debate.
• The day of reckoning for Dr. Conrad Murray is imminent.

Heidi Montag v. 3.0 and the adorable girl who used to star on The Hills.

• Heidi Montag’s haters have attacked her recent plastic surgery in full force. Admitting you had 10 procedures in one day as a career move? Bad PR.
• Police blotter: Andy Dick was charged with sexual assault and Gary Coleman for domestic violence; Adrian Pasdar got a DUI; Steven Jackson might have beaten his GF; Javaris Crittenton pleaded guilty to gun charge; Chris Jericho was bombed.
• Baby news: Bo Bice’s wife is expecting; Octomom’s children turned one; Will Ferrell and wife had their third; Matthew McConaughey debuted baby Vida.
• R.I.P.: J.D. Salinger, Jasmine Anema, and Daniel Kerrigan (father of Nancy).

Welcome, celebrity fans everywhere, to The Hollywood Gossip on this second day of the New Year. Below, we take a look back at the past week in gossip.

Some highlights from the last seven days in celebrity news:

• In the week’s top scandal, Charlie Sheen made death threats and assaulted Brooke Mueller … at least that’s the word on the street. It’s hard to state where this leaves the couple, even though both apparently want to reconcile.
• Tiger Woods’ whereabouts are still unknown. He was stated to have partied with Rachel Uchitel (which she denied). Another rumor has Tiger holed up and recovering from plastic surgery after having his face broken by Elin.
• Jon Gosselin’s turbulent life took a new, unexpected twist when his apartment was allegedly trashed by a knife-wielding maniac. Hailey Glassman, the prime suspect, denies any vandalism. Her lawyer states she was framed.

Charlie Sheen and Brooke Mueller had a violent holiday altercation.

• Sorry, ‘tweens … the Jonas Brothers may be breaking up soon.
• Ideal tabloid tale of the week: Angelina Jolie’s cheating on Brad!
• PETA honored Ellen DeGeneres. She rules! Them? Not so much.
• Legal long shot: David Letterman extortionist’s Tiger defense.
• John Edwards’ wife wants to call a truce with Rielle Hunter.
• Rush Limbaugh was hospitalized after an apparent heart attack.

Taylor Lautner and Taylor Quick seemed like the perfect couple … for about a week. Fortunately for Lautner, he and his co-stars won our Celebrity of the Year honors!

• In baby news, Chris Robinson had a tiny girl; Eric Dane and Rebecca Gayheart will have one; Kendra and Kourtney showcased photos of their sons.
• In couple news, Taylor squared is history; Johnathon Schaech and Jana Kramer are engaged; Russell Brand and Katy Perry might be tying the knot.
• The New Moon cast, collectively, won THG’s third annual Celebrity of the Year honor. We also took a look back at some of the decade’s top scandals.
• R.I.P.: Mythbusters‘ Erik Gates and Avenged Sevenfold rocker Jimmy “The Rev” Sullivan died too soon. Here’s a tiny tribute to the celebrities who passed away in 2009. They are gone, but will never be forgotten!

As 2009 draws to a close, it is with great pride that The Hollywood Gossip staff unveils 10 finalists for its prestigious, Third Annual Celebrity of the Year award.

These celebs have given us their ideal, their worst, their nude pics (sometimes) and their scandals (often). Now it’s time THG paid tribute to their greatness.

Yesterday, we kicked off the ‘09 countdown with Levi Johnston in the #10 spot.

Today: Celebrity of the Year finalist #9 … Molly Malaney and Melissa Rycroft!

Molly and Melissa are both famous for getting engaged to Jason Mesnick.

ABC’s The Bachelor isn’t know for creating much in the way of real drama. But this spring changed all that when its star changed his mind … on national television.

Realizing he made the wrong choice, Jason Mesnick cast winner Melissa Rycroft to the curb in favor of runner-up Molly Malaney, who he went on to get engaged to.

This put America in a tough spot. It had fallen in love with Melissa, but Molly Malaney did nothing wrong. In the end, the controversy faded and everyone is happy.

Jason and Molly are planning on getting married and breaking The Bachelor’s 0-for-12 curse. Melissa Rycroft also got engaged to insurance agent Tye Strickland.

By handling the situation with class and grace, both ladies showed us that while there’s very tiny real about reality TV, there are some real people who go on it.

Here’s a tiny photo tribute to Molly and Melissa (and the men who will be lucky enough to call them their wives) Click to enlarge images of The Bachelor’s finest …

On The City this week, Whitney went on a blind date, Roxy’s expectations of her new guy are not met, and Olivia impresses at a Brooklyn Decker photo shoot.

Below, The Hollywood Gossip staff breaks down the events on last night’s episode of The Hills spinoff, awarding and deducting points as we deem appropriate …

Roxy Olin imparts sage advice: Never leave food on the counter. Plus 1.

Whitney Port is going on a “full-on blind date.” How can it truly be a blind date if he has to sign a waiver beforehand? She knows exactly who it is. Minus 2.

Blind date Patrick on his job description: “Basically I convince people to purchase pricey clothes.” Plus 4 for honesty, but Minus 2 for lame fashion acronyms.

Roxy and Zac seem like they could be a adorable couple. For now. Plus 3.

Patrick encourages Whitney to “join forces” on the bill. We were getting a douche vibe, and this confirmed it. Why not just ask MTV to cover it, Pat? Minus 6.

Olivia Palermo and Erin Kaplan’s task for this week involves Brooklyn Decker photos in Elle. Plus 5, because Brooklyn rules, and so does her husband A-Rodd.

Roxy to Whitney: “You have to come. I need you as my wing man.” Poor Whitney. Always a wing man, never the It Girl. Not even on her own show. Minus 3.

Erin goes off on Olivia to Joe Zee about Olivia “expecting her hand to be held.” It’s nearly as if she’s calling out the network for giving Olivia the job. Plus 5.

Zac, despite being billed as “Roxy’s date,” rolls up in the club with a pack of hot girls. Kind of a d!ck move, but Minus 2 for Roxy unjustly berating him for it.

Plus 1 for the blatant Cobra Starship plug. 21st Century payola? Plus 2 more for the guy defending Olivia as “a babe” when Erin complains about her.

Roxy and Whitney annoyingly go on and on and on about their boring boy problems, but like last week, Kelly Cutrone berates their “quilting circle,” so Even.

Man, Erin is gonna straight up murder Olivia soon. You can practically see the steam spilling out of her ears. Plus 2, because at least it’ll be televised.

TOTAL: +8. SEASON TOTAL: +7. Annoying at times, but at least Kelly calls out Roxy and Whitney, and we can’t wait to watch Erin totally snap.

Updating a previous report, Jon Gosselin formally filed a $5 million claim against TLC, saying the network’s representatives “damaged his reputation and career” by “preventing him from working with other media outlets.”

[collective silence in The Hollywood Gossip newsroom]

Everybody, all together now: WTF?? LOL!!

It gets better. The dad of eight claims the network contacted other media outlets he’d been in touch with to persuade them to halt dealing with him.

“Their behavior has caused Jon great anguish and financial losses,” says his attorney, Mark Heller, who maintains Gosselin did not have an attorney or a manager present when he signed his contract for Jon and Kate Plus 8.

“They had a cadre of lawyers so they had a one-sided agreement,” adds Heller, trying to claim that the corporation railroaded an unsophisticated IT guy.

Jon’s $5 million lawsuit – a counterclaim against a suit TLC filed against him – also claims the network owes him $175,000 for shows that already aired.

The Gosselins’ contract, dated April 28, 2008, says he gets $22,500 for each half-hour episode and $45,000 for each one-hour episode, the lawsuit says.

So he wants the contract he signed declared void, because he’s just a simpleton, yet wants to make sure he gets paid based on the contract. Okay, Jon.

Gosselin is scheduled to be in court on December 14. In other Jon news:

• TLC’s lawyers have filed court papers in Maryland asking the judge for permission to serve his former nanny Stephanie Santoro with a subpoena.
• His rep denied the Jon Gosselin sex tape rumor surfacing earlier this week: “It is truly false,” the rep stated. “It’s sad people are picking this up.”
