If at first you don't succeed, try, try again.

Actress Mena Suvari is giving marriage a second chance, as she has gotten engaged to her music producer/concert promoter beau, Simone Sestito, who proposed on their recent trip to Jamaica.

They're taking their time planning the wedding," says a source close to the actress told People.com. "They are in no rush."

The couple have been dating less than a year -- they met at the 2007 Toronto International Film Festival, where Mena was promoting her film Stuck. The 29-year-old was previously married to 46-year-old cinematographer Robert Brinkmann."

Congrats!

So, of course, Heroes star Hayden Panettiere has an album coming out -- who doesn't, right? And, I swear, I was all ready to be the biggest anti-singing cheerleader in the world, searching my brain for all the witty negative things I could say about her music, but, I have to admit, I kind of like her first single.

"Wake Up Call" is being featured in the new ads for Candies (which Hayden obviously stars in), and it's not your typical bubble gummy pop tune. It has a bit of an edge, a slight reggae feel, if you will. And, after hearing the 30-second clip, I actually wanted more!

I don't know what this says about me -- am I losing my edge in my old-age? Am I becoming soft? Have I just been so jaded by the Heidi Montag's of the world that this actually sounds good to me? Listen for yourself and get back to me -- one of you has to see what I'm saying, right? Right?

No, it's not a Dawson's Creek reunion, though I would love me some Pacey right about now, but Katie Holmes will return to the small screen come this fall, as Mrs. Tom Cruise will be guest-starring on Eli Stone.

Why would Kate choose this particular show to flex her stunt-casting muscles? Well, she's a girl who knows where she came from apparently, as her Dawson's Creek executive producer Greg Berlanti currently works on the ABC show.

"Greg worked with her on Dawson's Creek and was very nice in saying she was doing us a huge favor," Stone costar Julie Gonzalo told E! News.

"We met her on Monday, and she's working today," Julie said of Kate. "She's playing a lawyer."

"She just appeared in the seat (at the table read)," added show regular Loretta Devine. "She's very quiet. Then Tom Cruise came with the baby and we left. We missed the whole thing."

As you already know, Katie will be heading to New York later this month to prepare for her Broadway debut this fall in Arthur Miller's All My Sons.

Big screen, small screen, live theater, paddling down the creek and climbing into Dawson's window -- is there anything she can't do?

is such a train wreck that I'm not sure how he's lasted this long in Hollywood or how he continues to get work.

The out-of-his-mind actor was arrested early this morning in California, on suspicion of drug possession and sexual battery. Cops say they stopped a van and found Andy in the passenger seat. They were told he was groping a 17-year-old girl and pulling her top down. When they he searched the actor, cops say they found marijuana and one Xanax in his pocket.

Nice. Loser. And I think this mug shot is going to give me nightmares for months. Great.

Get all the details here:

Well, good looks certainly run in the family, as Jessica Alba shows off her new baby girl on the cover of OK! -- and man, is that kid cute or what? Honor Marie Warren, almost six weeks old, is certainly in the running to be Dark Angel 2.0, with that angelic face and pouty set of lips.

But ask the new parents who their daughter looks like and both Jess and her new husband think she takes after dad, and main man of her momtourageCash Warren.

"She looks like a girl version of me," Cash says. "She has my nose, my eyebrows and my..."

"Forehead and dimples," Jessica finishes, adding, "She has my mouth when I was a baby. And my ears."

"Maybe Honor is a mixture," Cash says. "I want her to look like me, because a daughter looking like Jessica, I'd kill myself!"

No kidding, I've told you before how my husband just kind of glosses over whenever Jessica Alba comes on screen. I always just assume he's imagining her running in a bikini -- in slow motion, of course. 

"It hasn't totally sunk in," Jessica says of being a new mom. "She dreams, she smiles, and coos and does all these things, but she hasn't seen enough of the world yet to understand any of that stuff. So I still feel like she's connected to the other world, or something. There's no other way to explain it. It's a miracle." 

What do you think of Honor?
