Eddie Cibrian's Ex: "I Slashed His Tires, and It Felt Awesome"

Forget LeAnn Rimes. It was Carrie Underwood who inspired Brandi Glanville's reaction to husband Eddie Cibrian's adultry.

The CSI: Miami star filed a court declaration in his custody battle with his soon-to-be ex-wife, stating she slashed the tires of his Harley Davidson motorcycle after an argument in August.

Read the court docs here.

"Yes, I slashed his Harley tires," Glanville tells E! News exclusively. "And it felt awesome!"

The domestic dispute occurred on Aug. 1—weeks after the couple had separated, but while Cibrian was still living in the family’s guest house, Glanville explains.

"He broke my heart, so I broke his Harleys," Glanville says. "It was right after I found out about girl No. 2, and I had that Carrie Underwood song in my head, and I just went for it!"

Glanville is referring to (a) cocktail waitressSheena Marie, whom Cibrian reportedly hooked up during the marriage and (b) Underwood's tire-slashing anthem "Before He Cheats."

In the documents, Cibrian states that Glanville "verbally and physically attacked" him and "in a fit of rage, slashed the tires of my Harley-Davidson motorcycles."

Good thing she wasn't listening to Marilyn Manson.

Penélope Cruz: Making Nine Hurt So...Good!

Penélope Cruz is not happy about the way her hands look.

She really was hoping that Nine would have left them scarred.

You see, the Oscar winner, who plays a va-va-va-voom mistress of a 1960s Italian movie director in the musical flick, does a sexy song-and-dance number in lingerie that involves her slithering up, down and around a pair of ropes...

"I didn't want the marks I got from the ropes to go away, because they were like my little medals," Cruz tells me. "I was so used to them that after three months of training, I didn't even feel physical pain anymore. I loved it."

Choreographer John DeLuca could attest to that.

"She was bleeding," he says. "But no one has worked harder on a number than her. Everyday, she was like, 'When can I practice. Who can help me?' "

However, the Spanish beauty never exactly got used to the start of the routine. "My number starts on a slide that is like 40 meters high," she explains. "You don't really see that, so you can't appreciate how high it was, but I was nervous. It demanded that you be present…and alert so you don't get hurt."

Sounds like someone needs to find a good action movie for Ms. Cruz, don't ya think?

"Profoundly Sorry" Tiger Woods Taking "Indefinite Break" From Golf

Tiger Woods

You can't really blame Tiger Woods for not wanting to hit the links anytime soon.

The superstar athlete has announced that he is taking "an indefinite break" from golf so that he can focus on his severely embattled personal life.

"I am deeply aware of the disappointment and hurt that my infidelity has caused to so many people, most of all my wife and children," Woods wrote Friday in a statement on his website.

"I want to say again to everyone that I am profoundly sorry and that I ask forgiveness. It may not be possible to repair the damage I've done, but I want to do my best to try."

He continued: "I would like to ask everyone, including my fans, the good people at my foundation, business partners, the PGA Tour, and my fellow competitors, for their understanding. What's most important now is that my family has the time, privacy, and safe haven we will need for personal healing.

"After much soul searching, I have decided to take an indefinite break from professional golf. I need to focus my attention on being a better husband, father, and person."

"Again, I ask for privacy for my family and I am especially grateful for all those who have offered compassion and concern during this difficult period."

While this isn't exactly surprising, considering, it certainly isn't good news for the game of golf.

TV ratings suffered when Woods missed eight months after undergoing season-ending knee surgery in June 2008, following his nail-biter of a win at the U.S. Open.

But the PGA Tour isn't going to begrudge the emotional needs of its most famous cash cow.

"His priorities are where they need to be, and we will continue to respect and honor his family's request for privacy," tour commissioner Tim Finchem said in response to the news.

"We look forward to Tiger's return to the PGA Tour when he determines the time is right for him."

The same goes for Nike, which hasn't swooshed Tiger under the rug like Gatorade and Tag Heuer.

"Tiger has been part of Nike for more than a decade," the athletic-apparel behemoth said in a statement Friday night. "He is the best golfer in the world and one of the greatest athletes of his era. We look forward to his return to golf. He and his family have Nike's full support."

Bridget Marquardt Settles Into Her New Digs,Trapeze and All


Yes, we did say trapeze. But more on that later.

Brainy Girls Next Door beauty Bridget Marquardt must have taken advantage of her rent-free years at the Playboy Mansion and is finally moving into a place of her own.

Earlier this month, Bridget was beyond excited to chat about her new digs with E! News: "It's my first purchase like this! I've never had my own house before. We ended up with a Tuscan-style house."

The Sherman Oaks pad went for $1,725,000, reports the Los Angeles Times, but that's just the jumping-off point.

Bridget has big plans for her new place. No, not another intimate grotto for skinny-dipping adventures. Marquardt is having a circus-style trapeze installed in her two-story entry hallway! And before your minds wander to all sorts of strange and kinky places, the Bridget's Sexiest Beaches host simply uses it to keep that amazing physique.

"Trapeze is a great workout. It got me in the best shape in my life," says the Hollywood Aerial Arts member.

The apparatus will be "vintage-style—with velvet on the ropes and shiny silver balls on the ends," with an aerial loop, to boot!

Bridget and new roomie, boyfriend Nicholas Carpenter, will also turn one of the five bedrooms into a wardrobe for her Girls Next Door memorabilia and add a water slide to the swimming pool.

Something tells us she won't be missing her Playboy digs anytime soon.

Lindsay Cops a 'tude: How Lohan Can You Go?


Talk about high maintenance! Here's how Lindsay Lohan repaid a good Samaritan who tried to return her cell phone: She called the cops.

According to gossips at the New York Daily News, Lohan reportedly left her celly on a deli counter in Little Italy. When a clerk ran out to the street and knocked on her cab window to ask if it was her phone, she said yes.

But before he handed it over to her, he asked her to verify the number since there had been many customers in the place. When she couldn't, and perhaps miffed that he didn't recognize her, she tried to grab it out of his hand. When she failed to snatch it away from him, she reportedly said, "I'm calling the police! I'm going to arrest you for not giving me my phone!"

A friend of Lohan's called 911. When the cops arrived, the clerk handed them the phone. After the police verified it was her phone they returned it.

"I was just trying to be honest. Now I have police and trouble already," the deli guy said. "Who is she? Is she a star?"

Well, we think she used to be.

Jenna Dewan: Channing Should Have Been Vampire


Twilight screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg isn't the only one who thinks hunky Channing Tatum would have been perfect to play Riley in Eclipse.

The G.I. Joe star's wife, Jenna Dewan, says director David Slade should have let hm sink his teeth into the role.

"I totally tried to get him to do it," Dewan told us earlier this week at the InStyle Summer Soirée at the London Hotel in West Hollywood. "I was like, 'Baby, do Twilight!' Oh, my god. I'm a huge Twilight fan. I've read all the books. So I was like, 'You should do it, you should do it, you should do it!'"

Unfortunately for Jenna, Xavier Samuel snagged the part of the corrupted vampire in the third installment of the Robert Pattinson bloodsucker movie franchise.

While Dewan says Tatum hasn't read any of Stephenie Meyer's Twilight books, she's a huge fan...

"I just saw the trailer for [New Moon] today," she said. "It's one of those things where I liked the books so much, I felt like a 10-year-old reading them. I finished them in like three days."

Eclipse or no Eclipse, it seems the newlyweds are more about work right now than starting a family. Dewan is about to start shooting a two-episode stint as a film executive on the CW's new Melrose Place, while Tatum just wrapped Dear John and has at least three more flicks in the works.

"Ask me in a couple years," Jenna said about having babies. "We do want them, just not right now. If I have three, if I have 10—I just want them to be happy and healthy kids."

What Happens to R.Pattz When Twilight Is Over?


What will happen to Robert Pattinson after all of the Twilight Saga films are done? You think all the obsessed fans will flee him?
—HannahPenton, via Twitter

"Flee," eh? Well, if there's anything a Twilight fan loves, it's overblown melodramatic wordage. Why merely wander off when you can tear through the woods as if being chased by a bloodthirsty high-fashion vampire?

Fans may love R.Pattz now, but kids also used to obsess over Orlando Bloom and Mark Hamill. The indicators for Pattz's future are not necessarily all that solid...

...and that's based on actual data. You know. Facts.

Like this one:

Pattz is already showing symptoms of the deadly Mark Hamill factor. Moviegoers had so much trouble disassociating the Star Wars actor from his Luke Skywalker character that he removed all mentions of the franchise from his résumé.

After taking the role of Frodo Baggins in The Lord of the Rings trilogy, Elijah Wood was so aware of the dangers of Mark Hamill syndrome—"[Fans] were only able to associate him with that role," Wood once observed—that he deliberately picked movies like Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind to make sure he didn't get typecast.

"That's the main thing, continue to work and be perceived in a different light with different characters," Wood once explained to an Australian newspaper. (Bloom, on the other hand, has two giant franchises to overcome: Rings and Pirates of the Caribbean.)

And that's exactly what Pattz needs to do more of. Right now. Because according to data pulled by social media agency Karma Media Labs, the kids are having a real hard time separating the actor from the bloodsucker.

Between the fan forums, social media sites and photo and video sharing sites, Karma CEO Lori Dicker concludes that "most of the references and conversations about Robert Pattinson are about his character, and less about him as a stand-alone personality outside of Twilight."

In fact, she notes, "One of the top contributors of content on a popular photo sharing site is named Robert_is_Edward."

And don't even talk to me about Pattz's forgettable turn as Salvador Dalí. Did you stand in line to see Little Ashes? Exactly.

Pattz has another big hurdle ahead of him, too.

He has to prove he can act. Sounds like an unnecessary road block—why please the critics when you can hypnotize fans?—but to survive in Hollywood long term, you really do need talent.

Harrison Ford made huge bank swinging from Star Wars to Indiana Jones. But he would have eventually crawled back to carpentry if directors found he couldn't carry a movie like Working Girl or Regarding Henry. And Pattz has yet to show true chops even in the movies he's already done.

Here's what the Village Voice had to say about Little Ashes: "Pattinson—first presented as a twitchy weirdo...has difficulty conveying cracked genius, at one point seeming to mimic Jame Gumb's prance in front of the mirror in The Silence of the Lambs until settling on just bugging his eyes out."

"Pattinson...is more parody than performance," the Los Angeles Times echoed.

Even Twilight hasn't exactly bowled the critics over when it comes to Pattz.

After watching it, "I checked Pattinson out on Google Images and found he almost always glowers at the camera 'neath shadowed brow," über-critic Roger Ebert concluded.

Of course Pattz could show the world he has staying power starting with his next non-Twi flick, Remember Me. But until then, the jury is far from in.

Gisele's Rocking a Nicole Kidman Baby Bump?


Supermodel Gisele Bündchen is pregnant! Maybe! Maybe not! She's not saying anything about it, which means it is up to us to examine pictures of her and make assumptions. That is our job, don't hate.

Judging from this shot, something that doesn't quite look like this is going on in her midsection.

Instead it's something that looks more like baby growing. That is our professional opinion. You're welcome.

To put it into historical baby-bump context, Gisele is lucky enough to have the build for a small, barely noticeable Nicole Kidman-like bump.

We'll keep you posted on any further bump developments.
