• Tiger Woods released a statement this morning: "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. [TMZ]
• One thing that may have pushed Tiger to finally issue the apology: While Rachel Uchitel didn't want to cop to hooking up with Woods, two other women turned up to take her place yesterday. A 24-year-old waitress named Jaimee Grubbs appeared with tawdry text messages from Woods to back up her story. (Sample: "I will wear you out!") And a Vegas club manager came out to say she's been having an affair with him "for some time." [Us, NYP, NYDN]

• John Mayer, relationship counselor? Apparently, when Lindsay Lohan got upset that Samantha Ronson wasn't paying enough attention to her the other night, John Mayer intervened, calmed LiLo down, and then had a powwow with Ronson. The result? Lindsay looked "stable" and "happier than she has in ages." Now, if Mayer could be there to talk Lindsay off the ledge every night, she might just have a prayer. [NYDN, P6]
• Jude Law and Sienna Miller had a romantic late-night dinner together last week and they didn't try to hide it, since they sat in the front window of the restaurant. The two also shared "a long and lingering kiss," which means she's clearly blocked out his affair with the chubby nanny. [People]
• Nicole Richie is working on a sitcom loosely based on her own life. It'll be about "a professional woman with complicated family relationships" who is "struggling to figure out what role she'll take as her life and her family evolve."

• What does Rihanna have to say about those nude pics that surfaced last year? She says they were, in fact, pics of her, and she's really humiliated and embarrassed that they surfaced. Then again, she also says her pool guy gets to see her in the buff on a regular basis. [People, Sun]
