"The Kristen Stewart news has brought our mood down at Obsessed today. One thing we all found interesting, though--Kristen issuing a frank statement (read it here), especially this soon in the game, is a surprising change of pace when it comes to such matters.And if you want to know just how surprising a change of pace, consider the statements that put the official stamp on some famous rumored cheating scandals. Tiger Woods ate crow for upwards of fifteen minutes: &amp;quot;I am deeply sorry for my irresponsible and selfish behavior.&amp;quot; On live TV. More than three months after the story began. &amp;quot;What we say to each other will remain between the two of us,&amp;quot; he said of his apologies to Elin Nordegren, his then wife. In 1995, Hugh Grant was caught with a prostitute--while dating Elizabeth Hurley. His blunt statement trends close to Kristen&amp;#x27;s--and I can hear him saying it: &amp;quot;Last night I did something completely insane,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;I have hurt people I love and embarrasssed people I work with. For both things I am more sorry than I can ever possibly say.&amp;quot; British apology #2: Jude Law named Sienna Miller while asking for forgiveness. (He cheated with the nanny.) &amp;quot;Following the reports in today&amp;#x27;s papers, I just want to say I am deeply ashamed and upset that I&amp;#x27;ve hurt Sienna and the people most close to us... I want to publicly apologize to Sienna and our respective families for the pain that I have caused. There is no defense for my actions which I sincerely regret and I ask that you respect our privacy at this very difficult time.&amp;quot; Sandra Bullock&amp;#x27;s ex-husband, Jesse James, made a defensive mea culpa: &amp;quot;The vast majority of the allegations reported are untrue and unfounded. Beyond that, I will not dignify these private matters with any further public comment. There is only one person to blame for this whole situation, and that is me. It&amp;#x27;s because of my poor judgment that I deserve everything bad that is coming my way. This has caused my wife and kids pain and embarrassment beyond comprehension and I am extremely saddened to have brought this on them. I am truly very sorry for the grief I have caused them. I hope one day they can find it in their hearts to forgive me.&amp;quot; Meanwhile, the woman on the other end of the affair, Michelle McGee, told People: &amp;quot;Sandra, I&amp;#x27;m sorry for your embarrassment. I&amp;#x27;m sorry all this is public. I&amp;#x27;m sorry for everything... I feel like I was duped just as much as Sandra was.&amp;quot; Weeell... Brad Pitt never admitted to having an affair with Angelina Jolie, whom he later married. When he and Jennifer Aniston divorced in March 2005, they released a joint statement: &amp;quot;We would like to announce that after seven years together we have decided to formally separate. For those who follow these sorts of things, we would like to explain that our separation is not the result of any of the speculation reported by the tabloid media. This decision is the result of much thoughtful consideration. We happily remain committed and caring friends with great love and admiration for one another. We ask in advance for your kindness and sensitivity in the coming months.&amp;quot; But that word &amp;quot;sensitivity&amp;quot; would come up again in the next few months--especially after a July W cover with Brad and Angie playing house. &amp;quot;There&amp;#x27;s a sensitivity chip missing,&amp;quot; Jennifer later said. Yeah, there often is. What do you think is the best way for a star to handle something like this? Which of these celebs do you think handled it best? Worst? More celebrity news...
