Tiger Woods finally emerged from seclusion and apologized to family, friends, fans and business associates Friday in an emotional, 13-minute, prepared statement.

Saying he is deeply sorry for his actions and letting down pretty much the whole world, the golf legend began the long process of rebuilding his shattered image.

When and if he accomplishes that goal remains to be seen, but he is pulling out all the stops right now. Today, his young daughter’s school got a special apology.

Tiger and Elin Nordegren Woods have issued a letter of apology to the parents at the Florida school where their 2-year-old Sam Alexis Woods attends day care.

Can Tiger claw his way back to respectability?

In the letter, Tiger says he’s sorry but again blames the paparazzi as much as himself for creating an “inconvenience” around Premier Academy in Windermere.

It’s not likely to move anyone to tears (like this guy) as his mea culpa did last week, but at least Woods realizes the wide-ranging consequences of his actions.

Follow the jump for the full text of the letter …

Dear Premier Academy parents,

We would like to share our appreciation for your support over the past several months and offer our personal apology for any inconvenience you are experiencing due to the increased media scrutiny surrounding our children. We truly understand how frustrating it can be.

We hope that the paparazzi will find something better to do with their time in the near future. In the meantime, it is our goal to keep life as normal as possible for our children. We are sure that as parents you can appreciate that. For Sam, that normalcy means attending the school that she enjoys so much.

Again, we truly appreciate the support from the entire Premier Academy family.

Kind regards,
Elin and Tiger Woods

If nothing else, Woods is doing what he can to repair the damage in his personal life first. What do you think of Tiger’s apology (the public one)?

Joe Jonas cannot catch a football.

But it sounds like he may have caught something far more important in life: true love.

According to Great Britain’s trashy newspaper The Sun, the sex-starved singer has been getting cozy with English star Pixie Lott.

Jonas and Lott were reportedly introduced through Gregg Sulkin, a British actor that appears on Wizard Of Waverly Place.

“Joe has been relentless in his pursuit of Pixie. They have known each other a while. But she was visiting LA last week and he made sure he saw her every day,” a source told the tabloid. “There were five nights on the trot where they ended up hanging out and going out together.”

We have no idea what “on the trot” refers to, but we can assume it’s not slang for “in the bedroom.”

The anonymous insider added, about Joe:

“He has become obsessed by her. Pixie is feeling a little more guarded but there is a romance gently bubbling away. Since she got back to the UK they have been texting and calling.”

OMG, Jonas Brothers fans. It’s about time Joe settled down, isn’t it? Kevin is married to Danielle Deleasa; while Selena Gomez and Nick Jonas appear back together. Joe doesn’t wanna be left behind!

Lindsay Lohan has serious romantic feelings for Samantha Ronson. But if it’s not for her, she would want nothing to do with the vagina, she tells the Sun (UK).

The wild child says her celebrity DJ on-off girlfriend is the only female for her – and if she doesn’t reunite with her, she will make a triumphant return to men.

Use protection, guys.

“I never really thought about women before, it kind of just happened with Samantha. It surprised me,” Lohan said of her first foray into girl-on-girl action.

“If I wasn’t with Samantha, I would probably be with a boy next. She’s the only woman I’m attracted to. We love each other. We might reconcile … maybe.”

Lohan says she still “loves” Samantha Ronson – from whom she split last April – and, since they live in the same L.A. building, they see each other regularly.

That’s not awkward or anything.

Among women, Lindsay Lohan has eyes only for Samantha Ronson. Reportedly, there are even times in which she has eyes that open all the way and aren’t glazed over.

The pair had a tumultuous, torrid tryst that regularly landed them in the tabloids. Lohan blames the storminess as having root in the meddling of others.

Her coked-up tendencies couldn’t have helped.

“Her family is very involved in her relationships and that was difficult … All the fighting stuff was just because all her friends had got involved and made me an outcast, which wasn’t fair to Samantha. I think it was a jealousy thing,” Lohan said.

“Mostly it was great. Everyone has ups and downs, it’s normal,” she adds. “But in front of the public eye they’re going to take the downs and make it seem like they’re a million times worse. That’s something that comes with the territory.”

As for the last guy believed to have tapped that, Calum Best? That fling was “over really quickly and not worth talking about. Next!” Burn, Calum Best! Burn.

Michelle Obama and her family are such big fans of Fox’s new hit, Glee, they can’t wait for the show to return to the air, so she’s asked the cast to perform at the annual White House Easter Egg Roll, according to a report. The show is on a four-month hiatus and will return with new episodes in April, so the Obamas have asked the singing and dancing cast — which includes Lea Michele, Matthew Morrison, Jenna Ushkowitz, Chris Colfer, Cory Monteith and Amber Riley — to share their “glee” with White House guests on April 5.

Jay Leno’s going all out to reclaim the mantle of King of Late Night — the former and future The Tonight Show host has got an A-list lineup of guests for his return to 11:30 p.m. on March 1. In the first week, Jay will welcome the cast of MTV’s Jersey Shore, news-making American Idol judge Simon Cowell and Matthew McConaughey, as well as Vancouver Olympians Apolo Anton Ohno, Shaun White and Lindsey Vonn. Musical guests will include Brad Paisley, Avril Lavigne, and Joan Jett.

In coming weeks, Jay has lined up guests including Kristen Stewart, Jamie Foxx, Dakota Fanning and Kim Kardashian.

Levi Johnston is trying to make headway in the fields of TV and posing nude. It’s nice to see that his baby mama, Bristol Palin, has decided to follow suit.

Well, at least the TV part.

The daughter of Sarah Palin is coming to ABC Family as the real-life teen mom will make a cameo as herself on The Secret Life of the American Teenager.

Levi is in talks to appear on Desperate Housewives.

Bristol Palin will appear as one of Amy’s friends at a music program for young parents. Sarah will certainly be so proud at her girl getting more publicity.

Bristol Palin during her brief, fake engagement to Levi Johnston.

The casting announcement comes juts a week after Sarah and Bristol both made headlines by lashing out at Family Guy and its creator Seth MacFarlane.

Its depiction of a student with Down Syndrome riled up the Palins, even if the voice actress, who has Down Syndrome herself, says they should lighten up.

Is Sarah Palin being hypocritical by placing her daughter on a TV show, given that like MacFarlane, The Secret Life is just using the Palin name for ratings?

Just asking.

Based on comments last week, it appears as though Simon Cowell has a soft spot in his heart for this season’s female contestants. He’s hinted that he hopes Didi Benami, Crystal Bowersox or another woman is crowned the next American Idol.

But there’s another female that’s truly won over Simon’s heart: Mezhgan Hussainy.

Cowell has referred to the make-up artist as “special,” while his mother has now gone on record about her son’s burgeoning relationship.

In a new interview, Julie Cowell relays a conversation she had with Simon soon after he asked Hussainy to move in with him.

“What baffled me most was the complete turnaround in my son. He has always insisted, ‘I’m fine as I am, mother. I’m not going to get committed to a marriage and I certainly don’t want children.’ I used to reply, ‘You don’t know, you’ve never had them.’”

Julie adds that “Mezhgan is absolutely lovely” and that she can’t believe the state of bliss in which her son finds himself.

“He looks exceptionally happy and there is such a glow about him,” Julie said. “I thought, my goodness me, he’s had to reach 50 to reach this stage. I think turning 50 has made him reassess his life.

“Now I really think marriage and fatherhood for Simon are going to happen. I would like to see an official engagement, a marriage and yes, then grandchildren. Mezghan is very family orientated, so she is ideal for him.”
