They're number 1! They're number 1!

Novak Djokovic clinched his third Australian Open title over the weekend after defeating Rafael Nadal 5-7, 6-4, 6-2, 6-7 (5), 7-5, in the longest ever Grand Slam final!

He remains the number 1 men's player in the world and after the 5 hour and 53 minute match, he's the fifth man to win three straight majors in the Open Era. Although he ripped his shirt off at the end of the match for a primal celebration, he spoke very highly of his tough opponent,

Despite the fact that he hasn't had a major win since 2009, Tiger Woods just picked up a new endorsement deal with Rolex.

The Swiss watch company still believes in the golfer-turned-tabloid-sensation and said in a statement:

"Rolex is convinced that Tiger Woods still has a long career ahead of him, and that he has all the qualities required to continue to mark the history of golf."

Other than a Japanese product, this is his first major endorsement since AT&T, Accenture, Tag Heuer, Gatorade and Gillette dropped him after his sex scandal.

It sounds like things are finally on the upswing for the golfer, who spent most of the summer recovering from a leg injury. His agent says the Rolex deal is the first of a "couple of announcements" related to endorsements.

No word on the details of the deal, but it is expected to last 5 years.

Congrats, Tiger!

Hey! Not everyone's first choice of school is a perfect fit!

Although it was initially reported that Emma Watson would only be taking a leave of absence from Brown University this semester while she finished up some film projects, her representative has just announced that the Harry Potter actress will, in fact, be transferring to a new school starting in the fall!

Vanessa Davies claims that she "absolutely loved her time at Brown," but has decided to pursue a major not offered at the Ivy League school!

Too bad! We wonder what she's decided to wants to study!

Hopefully she got a bunch of her gen eds out of the way and can jump right into her new coursework without having to deal with too much of the headache that comes with transferring credits!

College is such an important experience, so we're glad she's making efforts to ensure that she has the best possible time at the best school for her!

Good luck, gurl!

We imagine that this one is going to be seriously insightful!

Not to mention more footage of that adorable little baby!

Elton John recently sat down with Barbara Walters for his first major television interview since the birth of his baby son, Zachary, with partner David Furnish, which is set to air tomorrow night!

Expect to hear the 64 year old icon explain how the couple came to the decision to have a child, how they kept him a secret until he was born, and what fatherhood has done to affect their relationship, as well as them individually!

We imagine that this one will be DEFINITELY worth a look!

We bet Zachary's already getting so big! Can't wait!
