We're told Elin told cops about the argument at the scene of the accident and Tiger gave the same story to authorities at the hospital where he was treated.

One Florida law enforcement official called it "a domestic issue."

Elin apparently was able to forgive and forget -- according to Windermere Police Chief Daniel Saylor, Nordegren smashed out the back window of Tiger's car to help get him out.

UPDATE -- We're told the Florida Highway Patrol went to Tiger's house this afternoon to talk to him about the accident -- but they were turned away by his wife, who said he was sleeping. The FHP plans to try and talk to Woods again tomorrow.

UPDATE -- According to Tiger's rep, he was in a "minor" accident, "admitted, treated and released today in good condition."

Tiger Woods is in "serious" condition after being involved in a single car crash near his home in Florida early this morning.

The crash occurred at 2:20 AM in Windermere. He was taken to Health Central Hospital with facial lacerations.

Woods struck a fire hydrant and then a tree on a neighbor's property. The fire hydrant is reportedly less than 100 feet from his driveway.

Police say alcohol was not a factor. There were no signs of alcohol on the scene. We're told the police have yet to speak to Tiger.

The police report reads, "DRIVER HAD JUST PULLED OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY AT HIS RESIDENCE ... AS V1 BEGAN TO DRIVE ON DEACON CIRCLE, V1 STRUCK A FIRE HYDRANT. THE FRONT OF V1 THEN STRUCK A TREE ... THE DRIVER WAS TRANSPORTED TO HEALTH CENTRAL HOSPITAL. THE CRASH REMAINS UNDER INVESTIGATION AND CHARGES ARE PENDING."

We're told charges could range from DUI to reckless driving ... to nothing.

He was driving a 2009 Cadillac SUV. FHP says the airbags did not deploy.

Woods was by himself at the time.

His next scheduled event is December 3 in Thousand Oaks, Calif.

According to legal documents obtained by TMZ, Michael has racked up $15,100 in unpaid child support to Dina for their three minor children: Aliana, Michael Jr. and Dakota Lohan.

The suit, filed by the personal representative of deceased gospel singer/songwriter Bertha James, claims Perry lifted an entire verse from a song James wrote in 1950 -- "When I Think of the Goodness of Jesus."

The suit claims Perry pilfered the verse and used it in "Madea" -- specifically, "incorporating the entire Chorus in a monologue delivered by the main character in 'Madea" referencing her deliverance from a jail sentence and leniency for repetitive criminal conduct, in a staged court proceeding presided over by 'Judge Mabeline.'"

Bottom line -- CBS chickened out in trying to explain why "The Early Show" blurred Adam Lambert's AMA mano-y-mano kiss, but minutes later ran an uncensored clip of Madonna making out with Britney Spears.

CBS said, "The Madonna image is very familiar and has appeared countless times including many times on morning TV." By contrast, CBS explained, "The Adam Lambert image is a subject of great current controversy, has not been nearly as widely disseminated, and for all we know, may still lead to legal consequences."

Cops tell TMZ the 17-year-old girl who claimed a rabid "Twilight" fan bit her on the neck while she was leaving a screening of the movie was lying through her teeth ... and now the false claim could end up biting her in the ass.

Erin Westrate initially told cops a male in his 40s bit her on the neck at a movie theater in Norton Shores, Michigan after she saw "New Moon" on Friday night.

Cops say they grilled Westrate after a witness told cops they watched her leave the theater ... and didn't see any biting. We're told Westrate then came clean -- telling cops the alleged culprit was simply kissing her on the neck at the time and she was a "willing participant."

Detective Lieutenant Timothy LaVigne of the Norton Shores Police Department tells us Westrate could now face criminal charges for filing a false police report over the incident.

The rebellious First Lady of California was walking out of Peet's Coffee in Santa Monica when a vigilant parking enforcement officer noticed her meter had expired. The officer pulled out his rusty, trusty "auto-cite" device to ticket the vehicle, when suddenly one of Maria's security dudes ran up to him, flashed something at the officer and did some fast talking.

In the end, the officer backed off without writing a ticket. Maria then got in her SUV, took off her glasses and began eating her muffin as the expired meter continued blinking.

Oh, and there's this .... she drove off without securing her seat belt.

A Santa Monica police official tells TMZ writing a parking ticket is "discretionary." He also said if Maria was on official business she'd be exempt from parking laws, provided she had a placard on the dash. We saw no placard and -- last we checked -- eating a muffin is not official business.

UPDATE: A Santa Monica police official now tells TMZ the parking enforcement officer was about to write the ticket when a man walked up to the officer and said he was a member of the CHP Dignitary Protection Unit. The CHP guy then said he understood the officer had a job to do but the dignitary would be gone in less than 5 minutes. At that point the parking enforcement officer backed off, but issued a warning.

As for Maria then getting in the SUV, eating a muffin and driving off without her seat belt, the parking official says his officer didn't see that.

We contacted the CHP -- they have no comment on the situation.

We're told Rob Kardashian has been dating none other than Lisa Ann -- the adult film star who headlined the XXX classic, "Who's Nailin' Paylin?" Rob picked up Lisa Ann at the gym right around the time of Khloe's wedding.

Lisa Ann tells us, "Rob treats me like his little teacher and we have a fun sexual relationship that is simple and carefree. He brings out the total cougar in me and I just like to teach him things."

Sources tell TMZ the couple's neighbors reached out to Paris and Doug through their reps to voice their displeasure about the couple's late night partying. But it was already too late ...

By the time they made the calls, Doug had already made up his mind that he was leaving town anyway.

We're told P and D plan on movin' out very, very soon -- no word on where they plan to go next.

TMZ has learned Lamar Odom and Andrew Bynum were each pulled over on the 405 freeway in the last few days.

Odom was popped for speeding -- law enforcement sources tell us he was going more than 80 miles per hour.

Bynum was busted for shadier circumstances -- cops say he had illegally tinted windows on his Mercedes Benz.

Will Arnold's bold mea culpa influence Maria -- who's been known to break a traffic law or two?

Stay tuned.

The people who didn't like Adam Lambert's "American Music Awards" performance won't have to worry about a repeat performance on "Good Morning America" -- cause that gig is canceled.

Leading a guy around on a leash and kissing another was apparently too much for ABC. A rep for the show told TV Newser, "Given his controversial live performance on the AMAs we were concerned about airing a similar concert so early in the morning."

Ironically enough, Lambert announced he was gay on "20/20" earlier this year -- which airs on ABC.

UPDATE: During a press conference moments ago, Coach Weiss said Jimmy will be at practice today and starting against Stanford.

The Fighting Irish have taken a beating on the football field this year -- and now, their starting quarterback was reportedly socked in the face during a bar fight early Sunday morning.

According to the Chicago Tribune, it all went down at a bar in South Bend, Indiana after Notre Dame choked in a double-overtime loss to UCONN. The paper reports Jimmy Clausen was leaving the place after dinner with his parents, and some bar patron "sucker punched" him in the face.

The paper claims Clausen -- a major NFL prospect -- has a black eye. No word if the QB plans to press charges.

WWTJD -- What Would Touchdown Jesus Do?

Last week, Spencer went on the "Jojo, Reagan and the Mix Morning Show" on the radio and claimed that Heidi's unforgettably bad performance on this year's Miss Universe pageant was the most watched TV event of all-time. Well, like everyone else, the DJs didn't believe him. They did their research and found out that Princess Di's funeral was indeed the most watched. By about 1.5 billion people. So, they want their money.

Not so fast, claims Spencer. He tells TMZ he re-listened to the tape, and that he said it was the most watched "performance" of all-time ... not "event." Apparently, Princess Di's funeral doesn't count as a performance ... despite the fact that Elton John performed.

Nevertheless, Pratt believes he won the bet and wants his money. In fact, Pratt tells TMZ he's going to send his bodyguard Big D to the station to collect the cash. Note to DJs -- we know Spencer will do anything for fame, we can only imagine what he'll do for money. Pay the dude.

As the story goes, Khloe picked up her new ride last week and went to hubby Lamar Odom's apartment in Downtown Los Angeles. We're told Khloe gave it to the valet who proceeded to back it into a wall ... right in front of her.

A source close to Brown tells TMZ the singer's vocals were removed from a song called "The One I Love" due to the "drama" surrounding him.

Tim's manager, Marcus Spence, confirms Brown was dropped from the song -- but insists the move was a "creative decision for both parties" adding, "There's nothing against Chris. We love Chris."

But according to rapper D.O.E. -- who does appear on the track -- the song was originally called "Maniac" ... but was changed because "some people" didn't think it would be a good idea to attach Brown to a song with that title.

Funny enough -- Timbaland's album will be released the same day as Brown's ... December 8th.
