Elin Nordegren: I've Been Through Hell
Now that the divorce is final, Elin Nordegren is speaking out about the breakdown of her marriage to Tiger Woods -- saying she's "been through hell" and had no idea her husband was stepping out on her.
Elin tells PEOPLE, "I'm so embarrassed that I never suspected - not a one. For the past 3 1/2 years, when all this was going on, I was home a lot more with pregnancies, then the children and my school."
Elin also addressed rumors she attacked Tiger with a golf club the night of his Thanksgiving crash -- saying, "There was never any violence inside or outside our home. The speculation that I would have used a golf club to hit him is just truly ridiculous."
She says she and Woods tried to work on their marriage, but "without trust and love," it didn't work.
As for their divorce settlement, Elin says "money can't buy happiness or put my family back together."
Tiger also released a statement to People, saying, “This is a very painful, personal and private time for our family. Throughout this entire time, Elin has shown unwavering concern and support for our children. She is a wonderful mother. I know that the two of us will do everything we can to help our children adjust to this new family situation."

Defendant in DiCaprio Case Claims Cover-Up
The woman accused of slashing Leo DiCaprio's face with a drinking glass was in court this morning lashing out at the actor, claiming he started the physical altercation and the whole thing is a cover-up.
Aretha Wilson's lawyer asked the judge for a toxicology report on the actor the night of the incident, as well as his medical records.
The lawyer claims the case is a cover-up -- that Leo didn't even report the incident for 3 days, and the 5 witnesses are telling inconsistent stories.
In addition to the toxicology report (Leo went to the hospital that night for stitches and doctors may have done a toxicology), the lawyer wants Leo's rap sheet.
As for what started the fight at the home of Rick Salomon, Paris Hilton's sex tape partner, Wilson's lawyer says his client said to Leo, "You guys are a bunch of f*gs. Why don't you go butt f**k each other." The lawyer says that set Leo off and he approached Wilson in a threatening way.
Leo's lawyer, Blair Berk, says, "These are outrageous lies and a classic case of trying to re-victimize a victim in a violent assault."
Berk adds, "That this woman became a fugitive from justice for 5 years to avoid responsibility and that Mr. DiCaprio has fully cooperated with the prosecution from day 1 should say everything. This woman has a long criminal history of violent criminal attacks on others and should be given no attention whatsoever."
Berk's bottom line -- "Mr. DiCaprio simply wants justice."

Heidi & Spencer -- Busted in Costa Rica!
Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt are getting divorced and Spencer is threatening to release a flurry of sex tapes that feature his handiwork with Heidi, along with some girl-on-girl ... so it's more than telling that a paparazzi agency shot video of the two of them together Sunday at a resort in Costa Rica, frantically separating so they would not seem in cahoots.
Spencer told TMZ over the weekend he was in Costa Rica to turn over two dogs to Heidi but she wanted nothing to do with him. The video suggests otherwise.
Spencer says he's given Heidi an ultimatum -- either tear up the divorce papers and do a reality show with him, or he'll release the sex tapes.
So we ask ...
UPDATE: Heidi and Spencer were also spotted together in Costa Rica on August 18. The plot thickens ...

Oksana's Dentist Sticks With Original Story
Oksana Grigorieva's dentist is talking on camera for the first time -- sticking with his first version of events on January 6 between Mel Gibson and Oksana -- that she was struck in the mouth AND the head.
As we first reported, Oksana went to Dr. Ross Shelden the day after the blowup. Dr. Shelden signed a written declaration stating Oksana was struck in the mouth and the temple. But as we reported, he has also told another, conflicting story -- that Oksana was NOT struck in the mouth -- and there was no evidence of bruising consistent with a strike to the mouth. Dr. Shelden theorized Oksana was struck in the temple, which caused her to bite down hard which led to two veneers coming out.
In this video shot Thursday, Dr. Shelden -- who at first says he shouldn't comment -- says, "I think [Oksana's injuries] were definitely caused by a blow to the mouth and a blow to the head."
If Mel Gibson is charged with domestic violence, Dr. Shelden's inconsistent stories could damage his credibility as a witness.

Britney Spears Master of Her Own Destiny
With no end in sight to Britney Spears' conservatorship, we've learned there's one person who could set the ball in motion -- and that's Britney herself.
Britney's conservatorship -- which was created in February 2008 -- shows no signs of ending. The conservators have not filed a petition to end it and there are no indications, based on our sources, that it's wrapping up any time soon.
But we did a little checking and it turns out ... Britney herself can ask the judge to end the conservatorship. Before that happens, the judge would have to satisfy herself that Brit essentially was capable of making decisions for herself and her kids.
But if Britney were to request an end to it, we're told the judge would take the request seriously. That doesn't mean the conservatorship would automatically end, but the judge would almost certainly re-evaluate it.
As we first reported ... there are really two conservatorships at play -- the one over Britney's person and the other over her financial affairs. Our sources say Britney has no interest in ending the latter.
As for whether Britney wants to end the conservatorship over her person ... we're told she runs hot and cold. Fact is ... daddy Jamie Spears has given her a lot of freedom this year, so it's not like she's living in a ball 'n chain world.
But the taste of freedom ... a little scary.

Snooki's Ex -- I Should Have Made a Sex Tape!
Spencer Pratt's guido protégé Emilio isn't quite on his level yet ... because he didn't shoot a sex tape with Snooki like Spencer did with Heidi -- but he wishes he had!
Emilio shot a dating show pilot for Spencer's production company called "Fist Pumping 4 Love." He tells us he thinks the Speidi sex tape is "an amazing idea" and he envies Spencer for it.
But rest easy -- there is no sex tape with Emilio and ex-GF Snooki. Emilio says, "Wish I did that with Snooki. But I'm still learning and wasn't as smart as him."
It's probably a good thing -- the world isn't ready for a Snooki sex tape.
