The next season of the Apprentice is going to take place in Los Angeles. I'm sure tasks will include selling fake boobs and setting up new tanning salon businesses. In related news, Mr. Trump, who doesn't drink and avoids people who do, is launching a vodka line.

Gwynnie: When are you going to confirm you're pregnant? It's sooo obvious. And you've been in our Baby Tracker for the last month.

Okay, so Nick and Jessica are done. That's old news. The latest scoop is that they didn't have a prenup, so things are gonna get a little nasty. Jess made $35 mill last year -- and in California you have to split all the martial assets 50-50 -- so she is going to be paying big for the split.

But all that is just side dish. I think what people are waiting for now is to see who Jessica hooks up with first. (You know Nick is going for the strippers and college chicks. No big surprise -- that's been his game for the last year.) So let's play matchmaker for Jess. Which celebrity do you think she should hook with? She's been linked to Johnny Knoxville and Bam Margera, so you can see the type she's after as of late. She's hot for the bad boy with the whole grunge thing happening.

Post your picks for Jessica's new honey below, and I'll add some pictures of your suggestions as we go.

I stayed up late to watch Barbara's 10 Most Fascinating Peeps piece. Of course I had to hear what creepy Tom Cruise had to say about the TomKitten and the sonogram. Did any of you guys watch it? Here's what I thought -- tell me if you agree.
Dakota Fanning: She's cute and smart, but the kid just creeps me out. She's like a Stepford. What's with the permagrin? That laugh. And how can a kid her age not backtalk to her parents? Everybody does when they're that age. Remember, Mom?
Lance Armstrong: Why did Sheryl Crow join Lance during his interview? Was she picked as the fascinating person? No. Lance was the fascinating one, yet there she was cozying up to him on the couch during his interview. Kiss, kiss. And, again, I must call her to task for recently saying that she always tries to keep her relationship with Lance private. Honey, you joined him during his Barbara Walters interview. That's as far away from private as you can get.
Tom Mesereau: He's as creepy as his client Michael Jackson. All I could think of during the interview is that I wanted to have at his head with a pair of clippers. He's rockin' some crazy colonial period 'do.
Kanye West: He's so cocky. So cocky. But he's smart, talented, stylish... and he has a damn nice smile. And he said he gets pissed when people use incorrect grammar. So make sure you be checking your spelling before you be posting anything in the comments section.
Jamie Foxx: He's funny and he's an accomplished actor, but I recently heard tracks from his upcoming album and they were bad. Not good bad. Bad bad.
Tom Cruise: He's a Freak with a capital F. He did give up some good nuggets on "Kate" and the kitten though: They plan to marry next summer or fall. "Kate" will be able to make noise while she gives birth. (How sweet of him.) And Babs said "Kate" is six months pregnant. Also, Tom said he doesn't regret anything he's said in the last year, including the trash talk on Brooke Shields and calling Matt Lauer glib. That's good because I don't regret anything I've called him all year either. Plus: Check out Tom's latest mission -- in Shanghai. The focus of the trip was supposed to be to discuss MI:3, which is filming there. But talk quickly turned to the future Mrs. Cruise.
Camilla Parker Bowles: The less photos I have to see of Camilla and Charles, the better. It just makes me miss the classy, beautiful Diana.

Rumors that Simon Cowell wouldn't be on American Idol this season were just that: rumors. Fox announced earlier today the king of insults will be back for this season -- and many seasons to come.

This news comes with the settlement of a lawsuit against Cowell by another British music mogul Simon Fuller. The copyright infringement lawsuit -- Fuller said Cowell copied the format of his Pop Idol for Cowell's X-Factor -- was reportedly preventing Fox from signing a deal to keep Cowell on Idol. Fuller and Cowell settled their suit out of court.

Nick Lachey is rebounding quite nicely after his split with diva Jessica.

Page Six reports that the Nicky and his buddy, a billionaire named Peter Loftin, were boozin' it up with "a bevy of babes" at a nightclub in Miami the other night.

Nick's chick of choice? A "buxom lass who looked dazed and drunk as she hung all over him. She had big boobs but was clearly not as pretty as Jessica."

Glad to see he's going for quality women.

Meanwhile, Jessica has been getting over their split by tanning. Here she is on her way out of a tanning salon. She's practically waving her hand, which is most definitely without a ring.

Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban are getting serious. The couple -- and their families -- celebrated Thanksgiving together in Nashville at Keith's home.

How did the whole "meet the parents" thing go? According to the NY Daily News, very well. Throughout the weekend, there were many sightings of the group doing fun family things. Nic and her dad were seen jogging, Keith and the moms were out walking together and the whole group was spotted antiquing.

Here's a rare pic of Nic and Keith, who are reportedly engaged, looking lovey-dovey.

The only hang up at this point is that Nic's friends are said to be concerned about Keith's past. Apparently he was a big cokehead at one point. But drug use is like a prerequisite in Hollywood.

The Skank's father has a new addition.

Rod Stewart's fiance, Penny Lancaster, has given birth to a baby boy.

The little crooner was born at 2:24 a.m. Sunday in London and weighed in at 7 lbs. 7 oz. Mother and son are doing well.

Here's hoping that this bouncing baby boy turns out nothing like his eldest sister.

In other baby news, Jennifer Garner still hasn't popped yet. For the love of God, will someone convince her doctor to induce her and put her out of her misery? The poor girl looks so uncomfortable. And because she hasn't given birth yet, some of y'all might want to change your guesses in Celebrity Baby Birth Game: Jennifer Garner & Ben Affleck Edition.

After over 15 years, Busta Rhymes chopped off his signature dreads. Because celebs can't live a moment out of the limelight, of course it was all captured on video.

Can you say publicity stunt?

D-list morons Kimberly "Skank" Stewart and Laguna Beach Talan Torriero -- who became engaged November 15 after dating for two weeks -- have called off their engagement.

"It was just too soon to enter into a lifelong commitment," the couple said in a statement to People.com. "It is better to have a brief engagement than a short marriage. The couple continue to share their time together and remain open to whatever the future may hold."

Now I hate her more... as if that was possible.

Hey, Jude. Cheating again? Late last week Jude Law was caught cozying up to a brunette hoochie mama in the back of a taxi in London. Here are some photos of the incident. He reportedly stopped getting frisky with her when he noticed the flashes from photogs. I just can't feel bad for Sienna, who was naive enough to take him back and assume he wouldn't stray again.

Now that Nick Lachey doesn't have his estranged wife Jessica's income at his disposal, it's back to work.

The newlysplit singer-actor has inked a deal with the WB to star in a TV sitcom about a baseball star who is a newlywed. Nick previously appeared in the WB series Charmed.

Here's hoping that his new show charms viewers. Until he settles up with Jessica, I suspect he'll be on a tight budget. That means he won't be buying body shots for all those strippers and college girls.

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire continued to blow up over the weekend, raking in an estimated $408 million (!) at the worldwide box office. Here are the top 10 movies at the North American box office during the November 25-27 weekend:
1. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire: $54.9 million
2. Walk the Line: $19.7 million
3. Yours, Mine & Ours: $17.5 million
4. Chicken Little: $12.4 million
5. Rent: $10.7 million

I really don't think that there's bigger news than Nick and Jessica's split (!), but here are the other hot headlines:

Check out our new Nick & Jessica photo gallery: Nick Lachey & Jessica Simpson End Their Marriage.

There are old pictures, the last photo of them together (just a week ago!) -- the whole shebang.

And I also want to give Nick & Jess props for being smart about breaking the big news. 10pm on the night before Thanksgiving -- when everyone is traveling home for the holiday -- is pretty damn clever. These celebrities are getting smarter!

Happy Thanksgiving!

After endless denials, Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey confirm to Us Weekly that they have split.

A month after Us first reported the split, the couple jointly announced an official separation. "After three years of marriage, and careful thought and consideration, we have decided to part ways," they said in a statement. "This is the mutual decision of two people with an enormous amount of respect and admiration for each other. We hope that you respect our privacy during this difficult time."

When Us first broke the story on October 6, publicists for both stars issued denials. But the couple rarely was seen together after that. Jessica frequently was without her wedding ring and spent their anniversary in Africa; Nick was often seen partying and there were rumors he hooked up with some college chick. Last night he attended the American Music Awards by himself.

The biggest loser in the situation is Jessica's father, Joe Simpson, who basically swore on his life that the couple was still happily married. The truth is, he has a huge stake in keeping them together as Jessica's manager. And his daughter will probably also have to pay Nick a pretty penny in alimony. She's worth a lot more than he is.

After dating for a few years, Nick and his virgin bride Jessica tied the knot in Austin, Texas in October 2002. Still relatively unknown at the time, the couple then signed on to do a reality show for MTV about their first year of marriage called Newlyweds. The show catapulted them to mainstream fame -- they both released albums, Jess starred in Dukes of Hazzard last year and also launched product lines (body lotions and clothing). In 2004, Jessica earned $35 million.

Interestingly, when Jessica started filming Dukes is when talk of trouble in their marriage began. With her hot new bod, she started hitting the club scene and really enjoyed the attention she was getting from men, including her married Dukescostar Johnny Knoxville. There were rumors of romance between the costars, as well as a fling between Jess and Jackass star Bam Margera.

Maybe now that they are finally coming clean, they can move on with their lives. I can't wait to see who they hook up with next!

Although some pics were leaked last month, the first official photos of Sean Preston Federline will be released today in the December 5 issue of People magazine. Britney and K-Fed pose with their bundle of joy and talk about their Thanksgiving plans. (They'll watch the parade and put up Christmas decorations -- in between Jell-o shots and shower trysts.) But will they explain why they had their kid out at 2:30am over the weekend? I think not.

And I have to say "ha ha" to OK! magazine. Their fluff pieces are infuriating in general, but last week's cover story on the Feds was ridiculous. Speaking only to Brit's publicist, they wrote an article all about Britney and Kevin's peachy keen marriage. (Any couple with a newborn can tell you that things aren't perfect with a new baby in the house.) Obviously OK! printed the drivel in hopes of striking a deal with the couple to print these baby photos. Nice try!

In next Tuesday's Barbara Walters special, Tom Cruise says that he will "forever be jumping on couches." Well then -- I guess I'll forever be cringing at his creepiness. Tom also said that that he recently purchased a sonogram machine so that he and his prisoner gal pal, Katie Holmes, can constantly monitor their spawn. More cringing.

Kate Moss must have enjoyed detoxing at rehab so much that she recommended it to a friend. Make that a boyfriend. Her on-again/off-again crackhead lover Pete Doherty flew to the Meadows clinic in Arizona on Saturday for treatment of his numerous addictions. May this place have what all the other places didn't have.

And I'm sure I'm going to catch some flack for calling Petey a crackhead, but I call 'em like I see 'em. So bring it on.

Speaking of Kate, clearly the girl is desperate for work. Warning: You'll see some skin, but it's worth it in a "What the hell just happened?" kind of way.

There are a few celebs I just can't deal with anymore. I don't want to see them on the red carpet, on a magazine cover or on my TV set. I don't care who they're sleeping with, posing with, starring with or shopping with. I want to breakup with them. I want them to go away. Vanish. Disappear. Buh-bye. Here are my picks for the most annoying celebrities right now:
1. Paris Hilton & family
2. Jessica Simpson & family
3. Lindsay Lohan & family
4. Kimberly Stewart
5. The cast of Desperate Housewives with the exception of Felicity Huffman

Now, tell me who pushes your buttons. If you had three wishes, who would you send away?

Before the clock strikes midnight, I wanted to mention that it's been eight years since rock 'n' roll icon Michael Hutchence died. His former band, INXS, is touring again and in they're in NYC tonight... though now they have a new, less charismatic frontman. I'll never get over the fact that he was picked on a reality TV show -- there's just no magic in that.

In a related star sighting, one member of my gosse posse spotted Michael's ex, Helena Christensen, recently outside HK restaurant in Hell's Kitchen, NYC. "She was quite possibly the most beautiful woman Earth," said my spy. "Her reddish-brown hair was pulled up into a pony/bun. She was wearing brown slouchy boots. And her mouth... well, let's just say that it starts at one ear and ends at the other. That's not a bad thing, it's just really wide. She's stunningly beautiful."

Brad Pitt and Angelina made their first public appearance as a couple over the weekend. They arrived separately -- but later sat together -- at the opening of the Muhammad Ali Center in Louisville, KY. (See photo.) Numerous stars were in attendance at the event, including Bill Clinton, Matt Lauer, Bryant Gumbel and, of course, the one and only Muhammad Ali. Access Hollywood ran video footage of Brad and Angelina awkwardly trying to dance during the show while waving lights in the air. (No wonder Jen's been dancing up a storm with Vince!) Angie was decked out in a stunning red dress; a dark-haired Brad didn't look too shabby either in a tux.

Next stop: The red carpet.

Maybe the warm weather in L.A. was making Britney and Kevin hot and bothered. Now that the trashy twosome are spending time in NYC, they seem a lot happier. Page Six reports that last week, the duo caught Sweet Charity -- the show in which they're rumored to be in talks to costar -- and got some retail therapy. Britney even got a manicure with new, superlong fingernails -- always great for handling an infant and changing diapers. On Friday night, they went to hotspot Marquee and totally got liquored up with their posse, which included Kevin's brother. According to a spy, they seemed very cuddly and happy. But get this: They left the place at 2:30am, and as they were driving off (presumably in a chauffer-driven vehicle) their kid, Sean Preston, was seen in the back of the car! The kid is two months old and is already keeping the hours of a rock star.

It looks like David Letterman and Oprah Winfrey are going to kiss and make up.

After publicly "feuding" for years, Oprah finally accepted Dave's invitation to appear on his show. She'll be on next Thursday -- the same night that her Broadway play, the Color Purple, opens in NYC. The last time she appeared on the show was May 2, 1989.

The reasons for their feud are unclear, but it's been going on for years. In fact, Dave has built segments around their rift. In one, stagehands read transcripts from Oprah's talk show every night. Then for a while he kept an "Oprah Log," recording each day that passed without Oprah calling him. Dave also joked about wanting O on his show to hold "the Super Bowl of love." Whatever exactly that entailed was unclear.

For her part, Oprah told Time magazine in 2003 that she didn't like being the butt of Dave's jokes. "I felt completely uncomfortable sitting in that chair," said O about her previous two guest spots, "and I vowed I would not ever put myself in that position again."

The feud has been more of a public event than a private one. When Dave's son, Harry, was born, Oprah sent him what she called the best baby gift she's ever given: a huge tub of children's books. At the time she called his bluff, inviting him on her show. The press shy Dave turned her down.

"Here's what would happen," said Dave at the time. "I would go on the Oprah show, and I would break down and sob like a little girl... I don't want to have that happen. I'd feel ridiculous. I'd never be able to live that down, that Oprah would make me sob."

Mark your calendars. Again, that's next Thursday, December 1.

In my family, we play this little pregnancy game. Around the time someone is ready to give birth, we each guess the date of birth, height, weight and sex of the baby. It isn't Price Is Right -- you don't win a new car if you get it right. You get bragging rights -- and in my family that's actually better than a new car.

Everyone knows that beautiful mama-to-be Jennifer Garner is enormous. She's been enormous since August. Word is that her due date is right after Thanksgiving. So let's have a little fun and post guesses for baby Affleck below. Now, we already know Jen's having a girl, so no need to post the sex. Instead, why don't you guess the baby's name as well. Have some fun with it.

Update: Jennifer Garner gave birth to a baby girl on December 1 in L.A. She and Ben named her Violet. Congrats to Sara and Bonnie, who guessed that the baby would be born on 12-1 and got her name correct.

Over the weekend Eva Longoria poked fun at her Desperate Housewives castmates when she hosted Saturday Night Live. (The musical guest was Korn.) In one skit, she mocked the rumored feud between the Desperate divas at a Vanity Fair photo shoot earlier this year.

I can imagine that things on the Housewives set are more tense than usual today. In fact, I bet Teri Hatcher is popping off her Lee Press-On Nails and gearing up for a brawl as I type.

Here are some pics from Eva's SNL gig...

Last night, green celebs -- like Leonardo DiCaprio, Faith Hill and Tim McGraw and Tom Hanks -- were on parade for the TBS special Earth to America, an effort to raise awareness of issues concerning the planet. Here are some photo highlights...

As anticipated, songbird Christina Aguilera married Jordan Bratman in northern California's Napa Valley over the weekend. Here's everything you need to know about the celebrity wedding... and more.

Day One: The five-day event began on Wednesday when Christina, Jordan and their Cavalier King Charles spaniel arrived via private jet at the Napa Airport. They spent the night having a candlelight dinner at the swanky French Laundry restaurant. They left holding hands, then headed to their $3,500-a-night cottage at the Auberge du Soleil Inn. Their private accommodations had a fireplace, steam shower and hot tub.
Day Two: On Thursday, guests began to arrive. They were met at the airport and chauffeured to their hotel in Christina's Rolls Royce Phantom, which was shipped in from L.A. on a truck for the occasion. Each wedding guest received a wedding gift package with lots of presents from the couple. That night, Christina, Jordan and their friends had a four-hour dinner party at La Encantada estate.
Day Three: Friday was the rehearsal dinner, which was a Japanese-themed party with decorations like lanterns, fresh bamboo and roses. Speeches were made throughout dinner, which was catered by L.A.'s Hamasaku restaurant. Sharon Stone is the only known celebrity in attendance.
Day Four: Christina spent the afternoon on Saturday getting ready in her cottage at Napa’s Auberge du Soleil hotel. Her hair was decorated in jewels and pulled back tightly in a bun topped by white flowers. At 3pm, she left for the wedding site -- the Staglin Family Vineyard -- in a black stretch limo. Once there, Christina put on her Christian Lacroix dress. Her bridesmaids wore dresses by Stevie Wonder's wife, designer Kai Milla. Shortly after 6 pm, the happy couple exchanged vows under a mountainside tent in front of about 130 formally dressed family members and friends. A gospel choir provided the music. Their wedding bands were designed by London jeweler Stephen Webster, who also created Christina's five-carat, diamond-and-platinum engagement ring.
Day Five: The couple departed for an extended honeymoon at an undisclosed location.

Want more? Check out this video news story about the wedding. And here are some photos!

Although they're rich and famous, celebrity BFFs Jennifer Aniston and Courteney Cox also share a traditional friendship. Recently, when Jennifer and Courteney had plans to hang, Jen brought along new beau Vince so he and Court could get to know each other better. Here are photos of the group chillin' together. Looks like Courteney digs Jen's new man. And Jen and Vince sure look happy.

How lame is Desperate Housewives? If you didn't watch last night's show -- and don't want to know what happened -- stop reading now. In one of the most overused soap opera plot devices, Gabrielle lost her baby after she took a nasty tumble down the stairs. How unoriginal. I've seen it on General Hospital, One Live to Live... I bet every daytime soap has used it at least once. I really think Desperate Housewives is going down the tubes. If you agree -- or disagree -- put in your two cents about the show here.

Here are the top 5 flicks at the North American box office during the November 18-20 weekend, led by Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, according to studio estimates collected on Sunday. Final data will be issued on Monday.
1. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire: $101.4 million
2. Walk the Line: $22.4 million
3. Chicken Little: $14.8 million
4. Derailed: $6.5 million
5. Zathura: $5.1 million

It seems like jurors in civil trials are a lot smarter than jurors in criminal trials.

Eight months after Baretta star Robert Blake was acquitted at a criminal trial of murdering his wife, a civil jury decided earlier today that the creepy, cranky actor was behind the slaying and ordered him to pay her kids $30 million in damages.

He's broke so they'll probably never see a penny. It's like the O.J. Simpson thing all over again.

In other legal news, Russell Crowe pleaded guilty today to reduced misdemeanor charges for hitting a hotel clerk named Nestor Estrada with a telephone in June. The hot-headed star was fined $160 and told to stay out of trouble.

Russell won't have to deal with the headache of a civil suit. According to reports, he paid Nestor about $100,000 to settle things out of court.

If those rumors about Lindsay Lohan and Jared Leto being engaged are true, Jared should call off the wedding because Lindsay is still eyeing other guys.

A few weeks ago, Lindsay got a message at her L.A. hotel from a Jason Lewis. Thinking it was the hottie from Sex and the City -- who lives with girlfriend Rosario Dawson -- she called him back. But it was really just an average Joe named Jason Lewis, and he sure was surprised when Lindsay came a ringin'... at 3:30am. For the next week, they exchanged flirty text messages like these:

Faux Jason: Thanks for the wake up call last night. Can I get one tomorrow at 6am? I need to get to the airport. Thanks. You are better than an alarm clock.
Linds: Are you coming to LA tonight? I'm so sorry again hunny!!! I didn't realize what time it was! It was 330... 6am I cant do.

For the next week they went back and forth making plans to meet up. They eventually did come face-to-face -- briefly -- which you can read all about in an email written Faux Jason, which was obtained by Gawker. It's fabulous -- a total play-by-play with all the text message transcripts and everything.

The real Jason isn't amused by the whole story. "My take on it is that the guy is a s----y human being," he told People.com. "It's mean. The guy was trying to move up on her and set her up." Grump!

Lindsay's rep confirmed that Linds had been duped, but insisted it was all innocent anyway. "Lindsay's very well aware that he's with Rosario and is a big fan of hers," say the rep.

But that doesn't mean she wouldn't try to get with him.

I smell a Vegas wedding!

I told you yesterday that Skankerly Stewart is engaged to Laguna Beach kid Talan Torriero after just two months of sleeping together dating. Well the word is that the wedding is going to happen soon -- like this weekend.

Page Six reports that the stupid couple is getting their paperwork together to get married in Sin City in the next few days. Apparently they want to tie the knot before their feelings for each other change. And you know that's coming!

Additionally, the mother of 19-year-old Talan isn't taking the news very well. "Talan's mother is hysterically crying," said a source. "She is not happy."

There will be another celebrity wedding this weekend: Christina Aguilera is set to marry her music exec fiancee Jordan in Napa. And of course we're all on "wedding watch" for Tom and Katie.

Is Brittany Murphy running wild? That's what Radar Online says.

On Tuesday, the starlet was dropped by her agent and her manager. The suits won't give a reason why, but a source close to Britt says that she was dumped for "personal" reasons. Do those personal reasons have anything to do with a no-so-blind item in Ted Casablancas’s E!Online column in which he talks about a "smacked out" actress named "Jordache Junky" who had sex with a waiter at an industry bar mitzvah.

Brittany recently signed on as the Jordache spokesmodel and is the obvious choice for "Jordache Junky."

A rep for Britt, who has been helping her mother deal with cancer, told Page Six, "Brittany is making a transition in her representation and has parted ways amicably with Brillstein-Grey and ICM. Not the other way around. The blind item on E!online is not Brittany."

Ah, what a feeling!

Jennifer Beals and her husband, Ken L. Dixon have a new daughter. Jennifer gave birth to a healthy little girl last month.

"The family is very happy and Jennifer and the baby are doing great," L Word star's spokesperson told People.com. Other details including the baby's name are being kept quiet by the notoriously private star. Ken has two kiddies from a previous marriage, so baby makes five.

For more on Jennifer's pregnancy, check out her page in our Celebrity Baby Tracker. Or read about one of these other moms-to-be:

People connect with celebrities for different reasons. Maybe a star was in a movie or TV show that you loved as a kid and you've been a fan ever since. Perhaps you read an interview he or she did and instantly became a devotee. Or maybe you kept "running into" someone so many times that they started to grow on you. Everyone has their own favorites and reasons why they fell for them.

Yesterday, my coworker Tanya and I happened to start talking about Jonathan Silverman. He's not a huge star -- as in Brad Pitt status -- but we're both fans. I loved him from Stealing Home, which I watched 1,456 times during high school; Tanya remembers him from Gimme a Break and some of his Neil Simon stuff (like Brighton Beach Memoirs).

So I thought it would be cool if I pick a celebrity and you tell me why you like them. Was it something they did? Said? Is it just because they're so damn attractive? Anything goes. And if you don't like them, tell me why too. Maybe you can sway my opinion.

Let's start with someone we all know for the first one. Someone I find rather... dreamy. A guy who has romanced many Hollywood starlets, has made some obscure career choices and has a nasty tobacco habit. Yet, to me, this man can do no wrong. Let's start with Johnny Depp.

After you check out these pics (click for larger view), post your comments below.

You know those celebrity weddings that last about three months or less? (See: Nicky Hilton, Britney Spears, Renee Zellweger and Sofia Bush.) Well, we'll have one to add to that list shortly.

My nemesis Skankerly Stewart -- the mean, nasty, rotten daughter of Rod -- is engaged to 19-year-old Talan Torriero from Laguna Beach. Talan's publicist confirmed the engagement to People.com. They've been dating for two months.

Last night, Kimberly and Talan showed up at a party in Bev Hills, where the skank showed off her 5-carat diamond Neil Lane engagement ring to BFF Paris and her sister Nicky. (Yup, the Hilton daughter who knows a little something about brief unions.)

Talan became famous on the very popular Laguna Beach: The Real OC. He's now launching a record and hopes to become an actor. Kimberly doesn't do anything other than shop, talk smack on people and sleep with B-list stars like Ryan Cabrera, Girls Gone Wild guru Joe Francis and Mischa Barton's current boyfriend, Cisco Adler. (Kim has "Cisco" inked on her body.)

How long do you think this union will last? Will they even make it to the altar? Tell me what you think about the couple below. And if you actually like them together, please, please try to explain to me why.

Other romance dish:

According to Page Six, Mischa Barton had a wardrobe malfunction on last week's OC. Apparently Mischa, who was wearing pajamas, got out of bed in one scene and flashed her nipple. The peeved FCC has already lodged a complaint against the network. Hope Misch got some extra money for her money shot.

Speaking of showing a little too much skin... On Sunday I was checking out But Can They Sing? on VH1. I thought: Celebrities singing badly? This should be great. And it certainly didn't hurt that Antonio Sabato Jr. is on it. As expected, I was shocked and horrified during most of it (hello, Bai Ling!), but pleasantly surprised during other parts (I thought Morgan Fairchild would be worse). The funniest part though was when Michael Copon, a cute kid from One Tree Hill that I'd never heard of, was performing in supertight pants. He climbed over a railing... and showed the world his crack. (Crack kills!) Of course I thought it was hysterically funny. I'm quite juvenile and I love it.

And to really show you how goofy I am, I also phoned in to vote for Antonio. The only way I'll ever watch the show again is if he's on it. Those cute dimples...

Caroline Kennedy loves her privacy, but tonight she opens up on Entertainment Tonight about her famous family. Here are some of the things John and Jackie Kennedy's daughter has to say:

On whether her children remember her mother: "My older daughters do better than my son, because he was quite young. It's tough for him, especially tough when you think about she, for so many years, was the best known woman in the world, [the fact that] it's probably hard for a kid to fathom that, that his grandmother was that famous."

On her family tradition of reading poems together: "My brother and I used to choose a poem for my mother for birthdays and holidays and copy it over and give it to her and then she pasted them all in a special family scrapbook that I still have."

On her brother John's favorite childhood rhyme: "There is a number of John's selections in here, and of course the one that I had completely forgotten, and when I had gone back to look, jumped out at me and just made me laugh was the one called "Careless Willie," which is about a younger brother and a older sister nailed to the wall. It was just so perfect. It just captured our relationship."

On how her father gave her the creative bug. "I really remember the bedtime stories that he made up for me. I think there was always this sense of storytelling and adventure in our family. I don't know where they came from but they were wonderful."

On what her mother taught her: "I think that she was someone who really followed her own path and really encouraged us to do that. I think John really did that in a wonderful way that really carried on her spirit."

Time to get creative again. Here's a photo of Pam Anderson and Jenny McCarthy from tonight's episode of Stacked. (Click pic for larger view.) Can you think of a witty/humorous/snarky caption for it? Go!

I could have predicted that Desperate Housewives pants dropper Page Kennedy would deny that he played peek-a-boo with DH staffers.

"There are a lot of stories that have been told," said the flasher, who was canned last week by ABC, "but the truth of the matter is that Touchstone decided to go in a different direction and they bought out my contract. Anything you've heard that's contrary is all false."

So apparently he's calling the folks at ABC liars. After all, they were the ones who released a statement saying that he was being let go for "improper conduct."

Guess who I'm going to believe? Not the peckerhead...

After an extensive campaign for the Sexiest Man Alive title, Matthew McConaughey has pulled out a victory.

Earlier today, People announced that Matthew has won their "coveted" Sexiest Man Alive title. As the winner, Matthew lands the cover of People -- on sale today -- and a lifetime of teasing. Previous winners include Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Jude Law... Patrick Swayze, Mark Harmon and Nick Nolte.

In the last few years, Matthew has transformed himself from a bongo-playin', beer-slurpin', j-smokin' free spirit (who was pretty damn sexy to begin with!) into a perfectly sculpted specimen. He's been showing off his killer bod in his recent movies like Sahara and Two for the Money. And I suppose he's been also been showing it off to girlfriend Penelope Cruz. Lucky, chick.

Congrats, Matthew. Enjoy your reign.

Class-act Pete Doherty has yet another love child who he doesn't see. For those of you counting, that's number two.

The first kid is a two-year-old boy named Estile. Estile's mom is Lisa Moorish, who also has a child with Oasis singer Liam Gallagher.

Following me?

The second child is more of a mystery. Don't know how old he or she is or the identity of the baby mama. But here's what Pete said about the poor child: "Poor little f---er. My sister sees him all the time, so there's affection as a family for him. I don't really want to go into that because it's not fair on the kids or the mother. It's enough for me to say I love them and would do anything for them."

He loves them and would do anything for them, but he don't actually see them? Whatever helps him sleep at night...

One of GQ's "Men of the Year" is... a woman.

Jennifer Aniston's poise, grace and good humor during her breakup from Brad helped the actress snag the title. She's the first woman in the 10-year history of GQ's "Men of the Year" series to be selected. Other honorees this year are Lance Armstrong, 50 Cent, Wentworth Miller, Kevin Federline and Jen's sweetie Vince Vaughn.

And in case you still have doubts that Jen and Vince are an item, Jen talked about her beau to the reporter who was interviewing her. Jen said that Vince helped her get through the rough times. "She said that she danced and laughed more in the last two months than she had in the last 10 years," Mark Healy told Access Hollywood.

Yet another little jab at Brad.

Monday night I was walking down West 46th Street in NYC and I walked by Chris Noth, whom I adore. Who doesn't adore Mr. Big? Well, I guess there are some Aidan fans still smarting over the fact that Carrie and Big ended up together on Sex and the City. Get over it! Anyway, Chris was walking down the street with some guy... looking handsome as usual.

Of course I have a Chris Noth story for you... Four or five years ago, I was going to an engagement shindig for one of my oldest, dearest friends, Tammy. But for some reason the par-tay was at some chi-chi bar, and when I arrived -- with about eight guys -- they wouldn't let the fellas in. (There's an unwritten rule that groups of girls can basically get into any club, but groups of guys often get denied. They want to lure in the big spendin' guys by having lots of pretty ladies on hand.) Anyway, I wasn't going to leave my friends on the sidewalk to hang at a ridiculous place like that, so we left and went down the street to a newish place I'd never heard of called the Cutting Room.

So there I was in Cutting Room chatting with my other oldest, dearest friend, Armena, who had decided to ditch the sucky chi-chi place to hang with me, her brother and crew. Mena and I were in the back right near the ladies bathroom. It was relatively quiet -- not too many people. No line for the bathroom, which you gals know is downright miraculous. While we were standing there gossiping and catching up (I relish my time with her because I don't get to see her very often), this guy came up to us and started asking a bunch of questions... about the bathroom. Do you know where the restroom is? Are you waiting in line for the restroom? Are you sure this is where the restroom is? Why do you think there isn't a line for the restroom? I swear, I'd never answered so many questions about the bathroom in my life, and I was starting to get annoyed.

I finally grit my teeth and said: We. Are. Not. Waiting. For. The. Bathroom.

With that, the guy thanked us and walked away. As he did, I realized that it was Mr. Big. (This was at the height of Sex and the City's success. Yup, call me Miss Clueless.) I told Armena, we laughed about it, bragged to some friends about seeing "Big" and that was it.

About a month later, I was reading the Post and Page Six mentioned the Cutting Room. Thinking I was all hip on the cool hotspots, I kept reading the article and came upon a line that said "Cutting Room is owned by Sex and the City star Chris Noth." I was floored.

So I've always had this fascination with the guy. I'll always wonder why he was asking us where the bathroom was when he owned the place. And I'll always want to kick myself for being quite so bitchy when he approached us. But you can't interrupt girl talk... even if you are a big TV star.

If you're up for it, play our Celebrity Matchmaker: Star Eateries game. Now that you know Chris Noth owns Cutting Room, you're already ahead of the game.

ABC needs to increase Star Jones's salary.

The View host is constantly trying to sweet talk people into giving her freebies -- despite her generous salary. Her most recent attempt to score loot? To mark her first anniversary to her poor hubby Al, Star had her spokesperson contact NYC's Cornelia Day Spa and ask if they would provide the couple with a day of pampering -- free of charge. In exchange, Star's mouthpiece promised that the spa would be mentioned in an upcoming article about Star and Al in OK! mag.

Brilliantly, the spa wasn't interested in getting Star's publicity, turning her down flat. Come on -- she's barely B list!

This is nothing compared to last year when Star tried to get corporate sponsors to underwrite the expense of her posh wedding. In exchange, she would mention the companies on her talk show -- to the annoyance of ABC, who put the kibosh on that.

Maybe Star could learn a lesson from Sharon Stone. Sharon just settled a lawsuit with a plastic surgeon who claimed she had a face-lift. Instead of collecting a big check from the lyin' doctor, Sharon agreed to drop the suit upon the condition that the doc perform free surgery for children with facial deformities.

I hope you're listening, Star.

This Friday, rivals Tyra Banks and Naomi Campbell face off about their 14-year-old feud on Tyra's talk show. Will the catwalkers catfight?

Laguna Beach ended last night amidst tears as the kids headed off to college. Kristin was one of the weepiest -- it was a nice departure from her typical bitchy demeanor. I do like her though. She's a good villainess.

After the show, which was being watched by a live audience at MTV's studio in NYC, host Damien Fahey introduced a surprise guest: Lauren! Looking like she had total stage fright -- or that she was in a really bad mood -- L.C. announced that she's filming her own spin-off about her life in L.A. called The Hills. Apparently the aspiring fashionista gets an internship at Teen Vogue, so that will be a big part of the series, which debuts in the spring.

As for Laguna, there will be a third season, which will premiere next summer. The show will focus on Lauren's little sister -- and all the bikini-clad gals and surfer guys in her grade.

Check out previews for both shows here. And join other Laguna fans here to talk about the finale.

According to reports, Christina Aguilera's wedding will take place this weekend. Though the location is still a mystery, the event will be on the small side (close friends and family only!) and will take place over three days. X-tina will wear a dress by Christian Lacroix and her bridesmaids will wear designs by Kai Milla, who is the wife of Stevie Wonder.

Will Angelina Jolie's next big payout come from the upcoming James Bond flick Casino Royale?

Brad Pitt's honey has reportedly been offered the sought-after role of the new Bond girl. Angie is said to have loved the script, but hasn't signed a deal -- yet. What's holding her back? The Lara Croft: Tomb Raider star wants the character -- a Russian double agent named Vesper Lynd -- to be toughened up.

"Angelina would rather play a baddie than eye candy," said a source.

Speaking of eye candy, Angie's estranged father, Jon Voight, may have some new eye candy of his own. The actor is said to be romancing Diana Ross. They arrived hand in hand at a recent tribute to Diana's 1972 movie Lady Sings the Blues, and their friends are saying it's love, child. Apparently Jon and Diana have been friends for years, but things didn't turn romantic until recently.

Former Baywatch babe Brooke Burns needed her own water rescue on Friday: After diving into her backyard pool, she broke her neck. Additionally, she had head injuries and needed what her spokesperson called "minor surgery." She's expected to be released from the hospital today.

"There's no permanent damage," said her mouthpiece, who doesn't want the pretty star to lose any jobs. "She will begin work [on the new Rebecca Romijn series Pepper Dennis] as scheduled in January."

Brooke has a daughter with ex-boyfriend Julian McMahon, who stars in Nip/Tuck.

In related news, Brooke's ex, Bruce Willis, has offered $1 million to any civilian who turns in terror kingpins Osama bin Laden, Ayman al-Zawahiri or Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.

Take five and check out some hot new pics:

I know I banned Jude Law and Sienna Miller's disastrous relationship from Daily Blabber, but I just have to weigh in on their most recent reconciliation.

It's ridiculous! They're annoying! Will they please just cut the cord and let it die?

Was that subtle enough for you?

I just don't understand why they insist on playing out their relationship in the public eye. Why did Jude have to publicly apologize to Sienna for penetrating his kids' nanny? Couldn't he have just called her up and said sorry instead of issuing a press release? Yesterday Sienna had her first big movie premiere for Casanova. And not only did she bring Jude to the premiere, but she gave interviews about him, saying things like, "We're working things out" and "Well, it's pretty obvious [we're back together], isn't it?"

Their insistence on involving the public in their relationship just makes me want to see them crash and burn -- kinda like Jude's movie career.

Okay -- I'm done talking about them... again.

Mandy Moore is set to shoot a few episodes of Scrubs, which stars her boyfriend Zach Braff. Doesn't she know a guest spot on her boyfriend's show is the kiss of the death for Hollywood relationships? Just ask Lindsay Lohan, who appeared in That 70s Show with Wilmer Valderrama shortly before they split. I don't want to hear these girls whining that their relationships are being exploited by the press -- they're doing it themselves.

The Apprentice: Martha Stewart just doesn't fit in on NBC. The new show, which has been getting lackluster ratings, will end after its two-hour finale on December 21.

The show has been a point of contention for former pals Martha and Donald Trump, who launched the series. Last month, the Donald complained that Martha's show was bringing his show down. Martha fired back, saying she thought she was brought in to replace Trump not do a spin-off.

Of course a spokesperson for NBC denies the show was canceled, saying the network always intended to have it air for one season. Yeah right.

Whatever. I like the show. I watch it every week. I'm mildly obsessed with crassy Jim, who is so not Martha material, yet is still in the game. He's a total freak show. I can't wait for him to get his "Dear Jim" letter on the way out the door.

Heath Ledger and Michelle Williams went waltzing with baby Matilda over the weekend.

With their new baby in tow, Heath and Michelle were out and about in their Brooklyn, NY, neighborhood, stopping to get a cup of Joe and run some other errands. Check out the happy family here.

There's also more dish on baby M:

Give them a break. They just moved in, they just had their first kid and they're celebrities, so they are probably cautious when it comes to meeting new people. They probably keep people at arm's length until they get to know them, fearing someone may rat them out to Page Six, like these people -- who don't even know them yet -- already have.

Johnny Depp stands by his women -- even after they breakup!

In an interview this morning on a British morning show, he said he was "appalled" by the hell Kate Moss caught for getting busted snorting coke.

"The first thing that went through my mind was I was concerned for her, hoping that she was okay and that she and her baby were okay," said Johnny, who dated the supermodel for from 1994 to 1998. "Number two was just being appalled and shocked at the vicious attacks. She's super sharp, really smart and [has] got a great heart. She's a good mom, and she just happens to be human, and the press wouldn't allow that and that's unforgivable."

As I told you last month, Johnny bought Kate a mirror upon her release from rehab. But it wasn't so that she would continue to do blow -- it's for her to "face herself without fear."

Where can I find me a Johnny Depp?

That's what the Star is saying.

"She has become frumpy, grumpy and a bundle of nerves," a source close to Julia and her husband tells the tabloid. "At one point she was viewed as the most beautiful woman in the world, but now she looks like a hobo."

Pretty mean comments about the Pretty Woman.

Last night, itsy bitsy Nicole Richie posed for the press and signed copies of her new book The Truth About Diamonds: A Novel at the Virgin Record Store in Times Square in NYC. (Click photo for larger view.) The story is based on the Hollywood lifestyle of a rock royalty princess. Although fictional, Richie said on last week's 20/20 that the main character, Chloe Parker, was loosely based on ex-BFF Paris Hilton. Nic drew a large crowd, including her dad Lionel Richie, who popped in to see her in action.

Special thanks to gossip-lovin' Carolyn & Micky for waiting in line to meet her, then sharing the photo and the scoop.

Although Ashlee Simpson admires her big sister, Jessica, she doesn't want to follow in her footsteps in the love department.

"If you fall in love with somebody, you fall in love with somebody, but I would really like to not like a celebrity," the pop tart -- who has dated Ryan Cabrera and reportedly Wilmer Valderrama -- said in a recent interview with the AP.

Of course Ashlee is referring to Jessica's marriage to Nick Lachey, which has been front-page fodder for months. They have reportedly split, though their handlers keep denying it.

I actually chit-chatted with Ashlee recently too. Here, she dishes to me about lip-syncing, her love life, zits ‑- and of course Jessica. So like totally check it out, man (giggle, giggle).

I don't know about you guys, but I stopped prank calling people in high school. That's when those silly "Is your refrigerator running?" gags lost their appeal. But Paris Hilton apparently never grew out of childhood antics because she's reportedly been pranking former BFF Nicole Richie.

"Nicole has been getting phony phone calls very late at night, practically every night, and she suspects the culprit is her ex-best friend," reports the new of In Touch. "Nicole doesn't have proof, but she's almost sure it's Paris," a Nic pal told the mag.

You'd think Paris wouldn't even have the time in her busy schedule to make these calls. I mean, between stealing boyfriends, wrecking cars and spending daddy's money, you'd think princess Paris would already have logged a full day.

Meanwhile, Page Six reports that the real reason Paris never returned her 24-carat engagement ring to Paris Latsis is because it's fake! Paris reportedly bought the ring for herself -- it's cubic zirconia. The ring Paris L. gave her was much smaller. The rumor got started when she lied to Us Weekly about the ring and the story took on a life of its own.

Hey, Baby: On Wednesday, Conan O'Brien and his wife, Liza Powel O'Brien, welcomed their first son, Beckett. The baby weighed in at 8 pounds. and 4 ounces. They already have a daughter named Neve, who was born in 2003. Congrats!

Disengagement: Wacky actress Bai Ling reportedly told Chinese reporters that she was engaged to Nick Carter. However, they are now both denying it. To the reporters' credit, I can't understand a damn thing she says either.

Canceled: Three TV shows have been axed by the networks: 7th Heaven, Kitchen Confidential and the critically acclaimed Arrested Development. Heaven will run through May; the other two will air 13 episodes this season, then pull the plug.

Legal News: Vincent "Big Pussy" Pastore didn't get away with that domestic violence rap just yet. The star was told Thursday to wait two weeks before officially pleading guilty to attempting to assault his ex-girlfriend last spring.

Pulled: 50 Cent's new movie, Get Rich or Die Tryin', was pulled by the Loews theater chain after a man was shot to death in the lobby of a Pittsburgh area theater.

Still Kickin': Here's Elizabeth Taylor at the BAFTA LA Brittania Awards.
