   Golf great Tiger Woods reportedly is still obsessed with his gorgeous ex-wife, Swedish stunner Elin Nordegren—allegedly resorting to ransacking her home to read her diary.

  The National Enquirer reports that Nordegren told friends that Woods snuck into her Florida home over Thanksgiving last year, with the sole intent of finding her journals to find out details about her love life.

  “I feel violated!” the Enquirer reports Nordegren as saying. “I’m totally creeped out by it. He has absolutely no right to be in my home! I don’t want him sneaking around, searching through my drawers and cupboards and trying to find my diaries.”

  Actress Rooney Mara stars in one of Hollywood’s biggest franchise movies since “Harry Potter” or “The Lord of the Rings” with her role of Lisbeth Salander in the upcoming film, “The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo.”

  She and director David Fincher were interviewed by W magazine this month, where  they talk about making the film and getting Rooney into the character, which is based on the bestselling books of the same name.

  The role is a departure for Rooney, who was best known for her role in the remake of “Nightmare on Elm Street,” and whose parents are part of two football dynasties — the Rooneys (who own the Pittsburgh Steelers) and the Maras (who own the New York Giants).

  But in this film, the petite actress plays an androgynous, bisexual computer hacker with piercings, leather and, of course, a distinctive tattoo on her back.

  Dr. Conrad Murray still has his medical license? Really?

  Michael Jackson fans are going to have to wait a little longer if they’re hoping for the Medical Board of California to revoke Dr. Conrad Murray’s license to practice medicine.

  “The Medical Board of California is not going to do anything until the evidence is in and the judge has heard the case,” medical malpractice attorney and medical doctor Gerald I. Sugarman tells FOX411.com. “They’re not just going to revoke his license on pure speculation.”

  Jacko’s personal physician is accused of involuntary manslaughter following the pop star’s death in 2009.

  During this week’s preliminary hearing, TMZ reported that a lawyer for the Medical Board of California has been in the courtroom. If Judge Michael Pastor orders a trial, TMZ’s sources claim that the Medical Board’s lawyer will ask the judge to suspend Murray’s license on the spot. This will be the Board’s third attempt to revoke the license.

  “If Dr. Murray is held to answer on the criminal charges, the next step for the Medical Board would be to file an accusation, which would seek to revoke his license,” Jennifer Simoes, spokesperson for the Medical Board of California, tells FOX411. “An accusation has not been filed yet.”

  But California is not the only one waiting and seeing. Murray is also still licensed to practice medicine in Texas and Nevada.

  The NFL Playoffs are in full swing, and one die-hard Pittsburgh Steelers fan is ready to celebrate the team’s Divisional Playoff against the Baltimore Ravens this Saturday.

  “I go black-and-gold, all the way,” Michaels, a Butler, PA native, told MTV News last year. “I grew up a member of (Jack) Lambert’s Lunatics in the ’70s, and remember all the insanity of the old Three Rivers Stadium. It’s truly in my blood.”

  On the eve of the AFC showdown, FOX411’s 2010 Celebrity of the Year is set to perform at the Steelers’ playoff party on Friday, January 14 at Stage AE, the new Amphitheater next to Heinz Field in Pittsburgh.

  The party will be hosted by former Steelers players Tunch Ilkin and Craig Wolfle, with appearances by other notable Steelers alums.

  Tickets are $20 and may be purchased at Ticketmaster.
