All eyes this week are on Tiger Woods, and US Weekly spoke exclusively with cocktail waitress Jamie Grubbs, the woman on the receiving end of Woods’ infamous “Take my name off your phone” voicemail. Grubbs details her alleged affair with Woods, and the couple’s interactions after meeting at a club in Las Vegas included racy texts from the golf star such as “Send me something very naughty… Go to the bathroom and take [a picture]” as well as a promise that they would “always be together.” Another alleged paramour, Rachel Uchitel, is less vocal and denies her affair with Woods, though a source said “She’s into [celebs] and she’s very aggressive in chasing them. It doesn’t matter if they’re married.” It may turn out that Grubbs and Uchitel are only two names on a long list of affairs, which Woods is said to have kept secret by using a separate phone number. It was a bad week for other famous couples, as Lindsay Lohan was supposedly seen necking with Cash Warren, a problem given his high-profile marriage to Jessica Alba. “It was raw. They were not shy!” said an onlooker. Lohan and Warren are said to be brought together by a common interest: a love for L.A. nightlife. Apparently not big on holiday spirit, Jon Gosselin allegedly rejected a Thanksgiving invite from ex-wife Kate, opting to spend the weekend partying instead.

People has more reports on Tiger Woods’ scandal, with details about the night of his headline-making car accident. According to the magazine, neighbors saw Woods looking worse for the wear on the ground post-accident, and that “he opened his eyes a bit and groaned, but his eyes looked dead.” The crash led one neighbor to start saying the Lord’s Prayer while his wife, though aware of Woods’ alleged affairs, was “sobbing,” “freaked out,” and “extremely scared by the whole thing.” Meanwhile, it turns out that tensions rose over marriage between on-the-rocks couple Jake Gyllenhaal and Reese Witherspoon, because Gyllenhaal “would marry [Witherspoon] tomorrow, but Reese doesn’t want to go there yet,” according to a source. Some stars are ready to tie the knot though, and People reports on former first daughter Chelsea Clinton’s new fiancé Marc Mezvinsky, saying that Bill Clinton reportedly “adores” Marc as “the son he didn’t have.” A source also told the magazine that “Marc is incredibly supportive, but he’s not a doormat. He’s her equal in every way; he’s just less well-known.” Meanwhile, exes Jude Law and Sienna Miller were seen sharing a “long and affectionate” kiss in New York City, where they’re both currently starring in Broadway plays.

Jennifer Aniston is now turning heads in a new $350,000 Bentley, reportedly a gift for John Mayer that she bought before they broke up. Sources say Aniston “got back at John by keeping it for herself.” Aniston ex Brad Pitt is in the middle of a rough patch with Angelina Jolie, and the magazine reports that “they are all smiles in front of the cameras, but when they get home the gloves come off” and argue over almost everything, including Pitt’s friendship with Aniston. “Angelina’s a screamer, and she gets physical,” said a source. “She’ll get in Brad’s face and shove him.” Most recently the pair had a blow-out fight over Thanksgiving plans—Pitt wanted to visit home in Missouri, Jolie wanted to take a humanitarian trip to Asia—and they are also at odds over Jolie’s reported plans for another adoption, which she’s put in motion behind Pitt’s back. And after achieving overnight success and launching a debut album to huge sales, Susan Boyle may be looking for love from none other than Britain’s Got Talent judge Piers Morgan. “Piers has helped her out a lot with her career,” said TV host and Boyle companion Rick Sky. “But I’m not sure he’s a cat lover.” It looks like Britney Spears may have done it again, and Star reports that the singer is pregnant with her third child, and that her bipolar-disorder medication may have interfered with her birth-control pills. Both Spears and fiancé Jason Trawick are said to have mixed feelings about the news, and a source said, “Nobody thinks Brit’s ready to be a mom again.” Meanwhile, Rihanna and Zac Efron got flirty backstage at Letterman’s show, drinking Champagne together and exchanging numbers.

Katie Holmes is asserting herself in her marriage to Tom Cruise, and though he “all but begged Katie to join him in Europe” for Thanksgiving, she spent the holiday on her own in New York instead, reportedly wanting a more normal lifestyle than Cruise’s extravagant one. Also in search of normalcy: Brad Pitt’s family, who are reportedly still close to Jennifer Aniston and miss Brad’s more domestic days with his ex-wife. His parents are said to be none too fond of Angelina Jolie, and according to a source “they think it’s time to stop the charade, end things with Angelina and get back with Jen.” A source added that “he was much more down-to-earth” when married to Aniston. In spite of their hectic Twilight schedules, Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson are rumored to be looking for a home together in Los Angeles, preferably one with “a lot of privacy and security where they can find out how compatible they really are.”

Khloe Kardashian gushes to the magazine about her new marriage to Lamar Odom and their future together, saying “Lamar wants to start having children tomorrow.” Fellow sports lover Kate Hudson is putting boyfriend Alex Rodriguez to the test as her life gets hectic to promote her new movie Nine. “She’s waiting to see how he reacts to her schedule as she promotes the movie. The way he handles this will determine their future together,” a source told the magazine. Things have been tense between the couple, and a source says, “They’re volatile. Neither one is easy to date, and you can never get a good read on him.” Meanwhile, marital troubles are under way for Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin, with a source reporting that the pair is “staying together for the children. Gwyneth refuses to get divorced, but she’s lived the last year or so of her life like a divorcee.”

Tom Cruise is serious about having more children with Katie Holmes, so much so that he’s already setting aside $75 million for the hypothetical kid, and the couple has reached a deal that Katie will get pregnant within the next year, an extension of their reported three- to seven-year marriage contract. After going from John Mayer to Tony Romo, Jessica Simpson’s taste in men is getting even more eclectic: She’s set her sights on Smashing Pumpkins lead singer Billy Corgan. After meeting the musician at a party, she has “secretly been crushing on him for months and felt there was a connection.” Simpson even recently Twittered: “My friend, Billy Corgan, has a pure and enlightening outlook on faith. Go to his new Web site!”

O.J. Simpson is apparently making himself useful behind bars, signing up to teach an anger-management class for inmates, according to the National Enquirer. Sources say that Simpson decided he was right for the job after talking down a “white supremacist” cellmate who wanted to kill him, and eventually signing autographs for the man’s friends. In couples news, Janet Jackson has made a point of being seen around with Colin Farrell, supposedly using the actor as arm candy to win back ex Jermaine Dupri. “Janet thinks that if Jermaine sees her with a guy as hot as Colin, his possessive streak will kick in, and he’ll come running back,” said a source. In spite of her public gushing about her new boyfriend, friends and family of Miley Cyrus are skeptical of her relationship with Liam Hemsworth, who famously inspired Cyrus to give up her beloved Twitter account. Reportedly they see him as too controlling and “they think it’s unhealthy. It’s a case of too much, too soon.”
