Celebrity Break-Ups: Susan Sarandon, Tim Robbins

Say it's not so. One of Hollywood's longest lasting celebrity relationships is over: Susan Sarandon and Timothy Robbins have separated.

"Actress Susan Sarandon and her partner of 23 years, actor Tim Robbins have announced that they separated over the summer,"is the official word from Sarandon's representative, Teal Cannaday, who adds, "No further comments will be made."

The couple have two sons together, Jack, 20, and Miles, 17.

Sarandon and Robbins were together for almost two decades, yet never married. The 63 year old actress once suggested her reasoning behind the decision to not marry:

"I won’t marry because I am too afraid of taking him for granted or him taking me for granted – maybe it will be a good excuse for a party when I am 80"

Jon Goesslin Finds Home Burglarized

Jon Goesslin spent Christmas with his eight children in Pennsylvannia, but when he arrived back home in New York, he found his apartment had been ransacked. Apparently some viscous destruction of Jon's personnal things was commited, such as slashing his clothes and furniture. Some items were stolen as well, such as his television, coffee maker, Nintendo, WII Game, dishes, pots and pans.

Gosselin's lawyer, Mark Jay Heller, said in a statement Saturday. "Jon immediately contacted me and facilitated the able assistance of the New York City Police Department who immediately dispatched an experienced detective to Jon’s apartment."

According to Heller, Gosselin, 32, discovered a note that was "speared" into his wooden dresser.

The lawyer for Jon Goesslin ended his statement, saying--

"The greatest damage from this vicious, mean spirited and heartless crime was perpetrated not on Jon’s property and possessions, but on Jon Gosselin himself, who experienced a traumatic, emotional, roller coast ride having just shared a joyful family gathering with his children during their Christmas."

Premature Baby Born To Michelle Duggar

The 19th Duggar baby has arrived prematurely via an emergency C-Section. The baby, Josie Brooklyn, was born at 6:27 p.m. Thursday weighing 1 lb., 6 oz., and is in stable condition in the hospital’s neonatal intensive care unit. Michelle Duggar developed preeclampsia, which causes high blood pressure.

According to Dr. Paul Wendel, director of the hospital's Division of Maternal-Fetal Medicine, the decision to deliver the baby via emergency C-Section was made on Thursday--

"The obstetrical and neonatal teams reached the collaborative decision [Thursday] that Mrs. Duggar needed an emergency C-section to ensure the blood pressure problem would not be detrimental to her or the baby," says Wendel.

According to a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association in June, babies born prematurely at 25 weeks such as Josie Brooklyn was, and receive aggressive treatment through intensive care have an 82 percent chance of survival.

TLC is reporting that "Michelle is resting comfortably" while Josie Brooklyn stays at the neonatal intensive care unit, and that "the family is grateful for all the prayers and well wishes during their recovery."

Oh my...I guess when Tiger sets out to do something, no matter what it is, he gives it his all! Think it's his competitive nature that makes him want to be the best in everything...such as in the cheating husbands category??

Adam Lambert Visits The View on ABC

ABC has made amends with Adam Lambert, so it seems. After the network canceled several appearances by Lambert after his performance at the American Music Awards, the American Idol alum, 27, is returning to ABC by way of The View.

Adam will visit Barbara (who has her special, The 10 Most Fascinating People of 2009, the night before) and the other ladies of The View next Thursday and will perform a song as well.

This is a turn around for ABC, who had canceled Lambert's previously scheduled performances on Jimmy Kimmel Live and Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve as well as an appearance on Good Morning America.

While the American Idol finalist says he will not be apologizing to the network for his controversial performance on the AMA Awards Show, Lambert did admit that "I did get carried away." And after ABC canceled his scheduled appearances, he told fans on Twitter, "Don't blame them." (He said it was the Federal Communication Commission's pressure on the network that was the cause.)

"ABC has taken a step towards fairness by inviting Adam Lambert to perform on The View," Jarrett Barrios, President of the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD), told Usmagazine.com in a statement. "GLAAD has been advocating against the double standards that have been applied to Lambert as an openly gay performer."

Will Elin Stay With Tiger?

Looks (looks can be deceiving though) like Elin may be standing by her man ...for now at least. There are reports out saying Woods and his wife are deep in marriage therapy right now, and that Elin has agreed so far to stay with the wandering Tiger on the condition that a 7-figure sum be deposited immediately into her own private bank account.

Chicago Sun-Times columnist, Bill Zwecker, is reporting that Elin demanded and is getting a total rewrite of the couple’s prenuptial agreement.

Reportedly, the original terms of the premarital agreement stated that the couple must remain married for 10 years in order for Elin to collect a settlement of $20 million, and that is the part of the settlement being negotiated.

So Tiger Admits Cheating....Finally

The truth has come out and it ain't pretty for Tiger Woods or his family. Obviously backed into a corner by an exclusive story broke by US Magazine, Woods has made a "confession" of sorts, and an apology (watery at best, imo), on his website.

Jaimee Grubbs told the magazine she met Woods at a Las Vegas nightclub the week after the 2007 Masters — two months before Woods’ wife, Elin Nordegren, gave birth to their first child. Grubbs claims to have proof in 300 text messages.

This morning, US Magazine published what it said was a voicemail provided by Grubbs that she said was left by Woods on Nov. 24, three days before his early morning car crash. In the voicemail, a man says to Grubbs:

“Hey, it’s, uh, it’s Tiger. I need you to do me a huge favor. Um, can you please, uh, take your name off your phone. My wife went through my phone. And, uh, may be calling you. If you can, please take your name off that and, um, and what do you call it just have it as a number on the voicemail, just have it as your telephone number. That’s it, OK. You gotta do this for me. Huge. Quickly. All right. Bye.

The Associated Press could not confirm Woods was the caller.

Woods’ agent, Mark Steinberg, did not immediately return an e-mail requesting comment.

Grubbs allegations of her affair with Tiger came on the heels of last week’s National Enquirer story alleging Woods had been seeing New York nightclub hostess Rachel Uchitel, who has denied it.

Hmmm...what says "Nike" now??

Tiger Wood's Car Accident Brings Even More Claims Of Alleged Affairs

Oh boy Tiger. What must be going through this man's mind, not to mention his wife's mind? Whatever caused Tiger to crash his car into a fire hydrant and a tree last week has surely made the pro-golfer's life pretty miserable this week. More women are stepping forward claiming to have had affairs with Woods. Everyone has of course heard the rumors regarding the alleged tryst between Woods and 'the other woman', Rachel Uchitel.

Now enter 24-year-old Jaimee Grubbs, who recently appeared on VH1's dating show 'Tool Academy.' Grubbs claims that she and Tiger participated in a 31-month fling together.

Us Magazine is exclusively breaking this story, which will hit news stands on Wednesday, and is reporting that Grubbs and Woods were together 20 different times.

According to Grubbs, she has more than 300 text messages from Woods, as well as a voicemail in which Tiger discusses how his wife may have found out about their affair, Us reports.

And it just seems to get worse for Woods.

Several women have come forward to national media outlets saying they've been involved with the Tiger Woods as well. RadarOnline is reporting. According to Radar, "explosive" voicemails from one of the women to Woods are being "shopped around."

Neither Tiger nor his wife, Elin Nordegren, have spoken publicly since the accident.

Sarah Palin Featured in Children's Book

Sarah Palin is getting more attention then the former Alaskan Governor herself may have even expected from her new best selling book, "Going Rouge." Now Palin appears as a heroine in the recently released children’s book, “Help! Mom! Radicals Are Ruining My Country!”

In the book written by Katharine DeBrecht, “Governor Sarah” (a character based on Palin) attempts to help two young boys hold onto their dream of a swing-set business which is struggling as a result of high taxes, heavy regulations and 246 czars.

So what inspired DeBrecht to use Sarah Palin as a character in her book?

“I used Palin because I wanted to point out that there is nothing wrong with standing up for your values regardless of who attacks you,” DeBrecht told Foxnews.com. “The book also shows that “Marxus” and his radicals are basically killing the American Dream in their grab for power. I want to tell kids that they can achieve their dreams by working hard and not relying on the government to help them.”

There is also a moral to be learned in this children's book: it is wrong to make up stories about others and spread rumors. The boys in the story learn that Governor Sarah “seems like a nice lady” despite the false and malicious stories being told about her and her family on TV, and thus feel for a really nice girl in their class who is running for student council and bound to be the victim of malicious and untrue gossip.

“In this Internet age, we need to let our kids know that it is wrong to spread rumors and lies,” DeBrecht explained. “Unfortunately, many so-called journalists have basically told children that this is permissible as long as you disagree with someone’s opinions. Our kids deserve better than the shameful example that has been set before them. What message does this send to little girls who may want to enter the political arena? Don’t you dare lest you be Palinized?”

Alleged Other Woman Would Take Lie Detector Test

Tiger Wood's alleged "other woman" has said she would be willing to take a lie detector test to prove there was no affair between her and Tiger.

"This is ridiculous. Not a word of it is true," Rachel Uchitel tells the New York Post. "I told the [National] Enquirer and Star" – the tabloid newspapers that broke the story – "that it wasn't true. I told them not only did I have information to disprove the story, but I offered to take a lie-detector test."

Uchitel claims that the unidentified acquaintance who's spreading rumors of her supposed relationship with Woods is motivated by greed – she was allegedly paid $25,000 for her story – and revenge.

"She had a personal reason to make this up. She got herself invited on a trip that I went on [to Europe]. She conducted herself in a manner that was so embarrassing that the trip ended after a day. It was a total nightmare," Uchitel says of the woman, whom she called an acquaintance at best. "I saw her again last week in Vegas. I was embarrassed by her behavior. She fell down the stairs at the restaurant because she was so wasted. She's a train wreck."

Since Tiger Wood's strange car accident last Friday, there has been growing speculation that Woods and his wife, Elin Nordegren, were arguing about the alleged affair just before the crash.

"It's horrible to Tiger's family. His wife must feel horrible," Uchitel says. "The worst part of it, it's not true."

Nick Jonas Going Solo

Woa -- did you ever expect to see a Jonas Brother performing without his brothers? Well, Nick Jonas will be doing just that. The youngest of the Jonas Brothers will be taking his singing act solo next year---- yes, I repeat--- Nick is stepping away from his brothers and has started his very own band, Nick Jonas & The Administration. Nick's new band will kick off a 14-city tour starting Jan. 2, and have a new album due out Feb. 2.

But, all is not dire (if you are a Jonas Brothers fanatic anyway). Seems that Nick will still be performing with his brothers too. Two bands, one Nick. And Nick says his brothers are all for their younger brother going solo. Look for Jonas brothers, Joe and Kevin, to be sitting in the audience when Nick and his band start doing concerts in 2010.

Nick Jonas & The Administration includes three members of Prince's New Power Generation as well as John Fields, the Jonas Brothers' producer, on bass.
