Watch Popsquire’s entertainment reporter / legal expert, Russell Wetanson, report on the Tiger Woods story on TV Guide Network’s “Hollywood 411,” 8pm.
Woods may have dropped out of Thursday’s charitable Chevron World Challenge, but the story of his car accident is not dropping off the media’s radar any time soon!

Tiger Woods still has not spoken to authorities, following the one-car crash outside his Florida home.
[Bauer Griffin Online]
In a court of law, this is 100% acceptable; however, it causes a lot of speculation in the court of public opinion. Canceling appointments with police makes everyone wonder what he’s hiding, including possibly physical evidence of bruising on his face and property surveillance videos that tell the real story.
Unfortunately, Woods’ public statement is not helping the matter either. He says he wants the matter to remain private and that “the many false, unfounded and malicious rumors that are currently circulating about my family and me are irresponsible.”
But, he doesn’t say what happened or how the rumors are false.
Let’s start the countdown to a revised statement!

For this weekend’s collision between pop culture and Baptist laws, Dr. Conrad Murray attended Antioch Missionary Baptist Church in Houston.
He also is expected to return to work today. With possible manslaughter charges hanging over his head, you gotta wonder if anyone is dying to be his first patient. Yikes.

Think twice about discussing Adam Lambert’s S&M, crotch-grabbing, aggressive kissing performance at work today. You might find yourself in violation of your company’s sexual harassment policy…

For today’s collision between pop culture and Catholic law, the Vatican is trashing New Moon.
[Bauer Griffin Online]
The Vatican’s culture council leader, Monsignor Franco Perazzolo says:
“This theme of vampires in Twilight combines a mixture of excesses that, as ever is aimed at young people and gives a heavy esoteric element.”
“This film is nothing more than a moral vacuum with a deviant message and as such should be of concern.”
He’s right. People should be concerned — about getting a good seat for the show this weekend!

The end of The Oprah Winfrey show next year means more than just the end of a television contract.
[Bauer Griffin Online]
It’s the end of an era, and Oprah knows it. During an emotional announcement on today’s show, she holds back tears and thanks the viewers for letting her into their homes for nearly 25 years. She says:
“I love this show … this show has been my life and I love it enough to know when it’s time to say goodbye. 25 years feels right in my bones and my spirit. It’s the perfect number, the exact right time.”
“Over this holiday break, my team and I will be brainstorming new ways that we can entertain you and inform you and uplift you when we return here in January. And then, season 25 — we are going to knock your socks off.”
That’s a lot of pressure, Oprah. Even a lawyer like Popsquire might cave under that kind of pressure. Just get everyone cars again. That never gets old!

Eddie Cibrian is suing Life & Style magazine for defamation because the mag ran a story about him allegedly cheating on LeAnn Rimes.
As a reminder, Eddie did not file a defamation lawsuit against any of the publications that claimed he was cheating on his wife with LeAnn Rimes. Perhaps that’s because truth is always a defense to defamation!
Even if truth is on his side this time, a lawsuit could be a costly and dangerous path for the actor. If he starts suing publications for false stories, not only will he run up major legal bills, but he will make people think stories are true when he doesn’t sue.
Yes, the law is complicated. Be careful, Eddie.

Chris Brown got a thumbs up in court today.
[Bauer Griffin Online]
He is fulfilling his probation requirements, and the judge said she received “an extremely favorable progress report” from the probation department.
Since his August sentencing hearing, Brown has provided the court with DNA samples, paid all fines and court fees, performed more than 100 hours of community service and completed seven domestic violence classes.
Brown’s next hearing is set for February 18, 2010. Let’s hope he keeps up the good work.

Tila Tequila took to her UStream and Twitter pages early this morning to make serious allegations against San Diego Chargers linebacker, Shawne Merriman.
