Forget the haters: Taylor Swift is awesome.

Don't take our word for it (or the word of any girl aged 8-18). Take Naomi Judd's.

Suing the pants off an international tabloid, cheering your team on to victory, engaging in rumor-breaking PDA, visiting survivors of the worst natural disaster in a nation's history…such is a week in the life of Angelina Jolie.

Fresh off her Saints' Super Bowl win, Brad Pitt's other half zipped down to the Dominican Republic yesterday in her role as Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. There's no word on how long Jolie's trip will last, but so far her itinerary has included visiting with displaced survivors of the still-devastating Haitian earthquake in the pediatric wing of Santo Domingo's Dario Contreras Hospital and meeting up with Dominican President Leonel Fernandez.

Not bad for day one. Jolie, who along with Pitt donated $1 million to Doctors Without Borders, is expected to arrive in Port-au-Prince today. And that's something not even we can snark on.

You know who else has good karma coming their way? The stars in our Do-Gooder gallery.

Conrad Murray already entered his plea in the court of public opinion. Today, he reiterated his claim of innocence in a more official forum.

Just hours after he was formally charged with involuntary manslaughter in Michael Jackson's death, and in front of many Jackson family members, the physician pleaded not guilty to the misdemeanor count that could land him up to four year in prison, if convicted.

The long-awaited arraignment took place at the Airport Branch of Los Angeles Superior Court around 2 p.m.—about 45 minutes after Murray arrived to screams of "murderer" and "justice for Michael" from Jackson fans, many sporting red, sequined armbands.

The doctor is in…a big heaping wad of trouble.

After spending the past eight months since Michael Jackson's death building a case—and the past week playing will-they, won't-they with the public—Los Angeles prosecutors finally have enough evidence to lay the blame on Dr. Conrad Murray.

Not to mention, finally managed to keep a court date.

The district attorney formally filed a count of involuntary manslaughter against Murray today, blaming Jackson's person physician with overmedicating the star with the powerful anesthetic propfol. The charge carries a maximum of four years in prison.

They've put the rumors to rest. Now they're taking the rumormongers to court.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have filed suit against Britain's News of the World after the tabloid published an article last month which sparked the breakup rumor heard 'round the world.

The story, published on Jan. 24 and since wisely removed from its website, claimed that the couple had met with a Los Angeles divorce lawyer to quietly divide their assets, hash out a custody deal and financially provide for their six children in advance of what the paper claimed was going to be a messy separation. And which sparked speculation like this. And this. Not to mention this.

The Saints won the Super Bowl. The Ad Bowl went to CBS.

Specifically, to the Late Show, thanks to its jaw-dropping revisit of the successful 2007 spot that featured David Letterman and Oprah Winfrey. As if we needed to remind you, last night's shockfest included an even unlikelier good sport in their midst: Jay Leno.

So, how did this spot come together—and more importantly, why was it not a Dave-Jay-Oprah-Conan lovefest? Funny you should ask...

The judge presiding over Kate Walsh's divorce settlement must really have Super Bowl fever. How else to explain why the division of their property assets has come down to the flip of a coin?

A divorce settlement was signed today after the Private Practice star and her Fox exec hubby of just 14 months, Alex Young, took part in a marathon negotiation session yesterday.

Here's how they're splitting their sizeable loot:

The weeklong waiting game to see whether Conrad Murray finally faces charges in the death of Michael Jackson will be carrying on a little bit longer.

A spokesperson for the Los Angeles County District Attorney's office has confirmed that "nothing will be filed today in the Michael Jackson death case." Instead, they're assuring the public that "a case will be filed on Monday, Feb. 8."

In place of the scheduled arraignment, Murray's defense team will instead be holding a press conference at 1:30 p.m. at a park near the courthouse in order to answer questions about the case.

Which we're guessing may take awhile.

First American Idol, then Brett Favre, now Carrie Underwood and Queen Latifah? What hath Larry Platt wrought?

During a press conference in advance of their Super Bowl performances this Sunday, the superstar songbirds and (sorry, Peyton) New Orleans Saints supporters broke into an impromptu rendition of the viral (to everyone except the Vikings) sensation "Pants on the Ground."

"As a songwriter I know we all aspire to write something that is catchy and has a message," Underwood joked of the unexpected hit. "And I think the youth of America can learn a lot from 'Pants On the Ground.' And they can pull their pants up…because it causes all kind of back problems. I've seen the studies."

The more you know.

Ready for the big game? Our Celebrity Football Fans are!

Red carpets are good for all kinds of things: judging fashion, getting up close and personal with Ryan Seacrest, and, of course, letting slip previously secret engagements.

Which is exactly what happened to 23-year-old Sonny With a Chance starlet Tiffany Thornton, who, when asked at Monday night's Dear John premiere how she planned on spending her upcoming birthday, let loose with the following:

"My fiancé's gonna fly here, he lives in Arkansas, so I'm really excited." Um, fiancé?

Thornton, who was wearing her bauble on the red carpet, then confirmed that 29-year-old court officer Christopher Carney popped the question back in December. No wedding date has been set.

When the blogosphere turns on you, it's one thing. When your de facto in-laws and baby-mama do, it's another. But when a late-night host refers to you as "Super Douche" on national TV, well, that's almost enough to make us feel sorry for Scott Disick.

Still, it's nice to know (as if we didn't already!) who wears the pants in Kourtney Kardashian's family—even if those pants are, by her own determination, 15 pounds off her pre-maternity size.

But if there's one upshot to humiliation at the hands of Jimmy Kimmel, it's that the world finally discovered that Disick isn't just some Ed Hardy-clothed layabout. He's an Ed Hardy-clothed layabout with a job at the manufacturers of Quick Trim, Kim and Khloé's weight-loss supplement of choice.

By day, anyway. By night, he's "Super Douche." Talk about a sucker-punch.

There's no place like home. And Tiger Woods' home is on the rocks range, so it (almost) makes sense that his first move after getting sprung from sex rehab would be to make his professional return on a national stage.

What makes slightly less sense is the fact that his wife, the still ringless Elin Nordegren, would be the one springing him.

Or—and here's where we really stretch the boundaries of sound judgment—that he would choose the Accenture Match Play Championship for his reentry into golf, seeing as how the sponsor was the first major endorser to sever ties with the athlete.

Let's take this one rumor at a time...
