Molly Sims Engaged


Molly Sims is engaged! The jewelry designer and former Las Vegas actress, 38, is set to wed Scott Stuber, her boyfriend of 16 months.

Stuber, 42, is the Hollywood producer behind the Anne Hathaway and Jake Gyllenhaal rom-com Love and Other Drugs and Couples Retreat. He popped the question the weekend of May 20, during a visit to Los Angeles from Sims’ parents, the actress’ rep confirmed to PEOPLE Magazine this week.

Sims, whose film credits include Yes Man, The Pink Panther 2, and Fired Up, began dating Stuber, 42, shortly after splitting from actor Aaron Eckhart in 2009.

Justin Timberlake Opens Up About Exes Jessica Biel & Britney Spears In Vanity Fair July 2011


Justin Timberlake speaks out about his recent split from ex-girlfriend Jessica Biel and his relationship with high school sweetheart Britney Spears these days in the new issue of Vanity Fair Magazine.

“I would rather not talk about her, because it’s hurtful for me,” Justin told Vanity Fair’s July issue when asked about Biel.

The former couple began dating shortly after JT’s romance with actress Cameron Diaz ended in early 2007. Timberlake and Biel dated for four years before calling it quits in March, reportedly over Justin’s reluctance to get married. In the weeks since the breakup, the tabloids have been filled with reports of Jessica’s decision to sever all contact with Justin. She’s reportedly even begun giving away many of the trinkets he purchased for her when the two were an item.

Justin — who two movies coming to theaters this summer; Bad Teacher hits theaters on June 24 and Friends with Benefits with Mila Kunis opens July 22 — wouldn’t comment on that. He’d only say that, even now, Jessica remains one of the most important people in his life.

“She is the single-handedly most significant person in my life. In my 30 years, she is the most special person, OK? I don’t want to say much more, because I have to protect things that are dear to me – for instance, her,” he continued. “So I protect it and until somebody shows me what would be more fulfilling at this point, that’s what I have to do.”

On Britney Spears: “We were two birds of the same feather – small-town kids, doing the same thing,” he explained of the union, which reportedly ended after Britney dumped a heartbroken JT. “But then you become adults, and the way you were as kids doesn’t make any sense. I won’t speak on her, but at least for me, I was a totally different person… I just don’t think we were normal; there was nothing normal about our existence. We spent way too much time being the biggest thing for teenyboppers. I wish her the best – that goes without saying. We haven’t spoken in nine or 10 years.”

Will Justin Ever Get Married? “I don’t know,” the 30-year-old singer-turned-actor said of the possibility of taking a trip down the aisle. “If that’s what it takes for two people to make it official, then yeah, but I think that my generation looks at marriage differently.”

Does he want kids? “I do [want a family.] And as little as six months ago I wouldn’t have even thought about that, but now it feels like a closer planet orbiting around.”

Kim Zolciak Gives Birth To Baby Boy


And a little meal ticket is born….Real Housewives of Atlanta star Kim Zolciak gave birth to a baby boy in suburban Georgia this week.

Anyone else smell a spinoff?

Kroy Jagger Biermann made his big arrival on Memorial Day Monday, joining big sisters Brielle, 13, and Ariana, 9, Zolciak’s daughters from a previous marriage. The “Tardy for the Party” — ahem — singer tells fans she and Atlanta Falcons ace Kroy Biermann are thrilled about welcoming their first son together. Biermann and Zolciak began dating in Aug. 2010, shortly after meeting during a taping of The ATL Housewives. The two quickly became a couple and are reportedly planning a wedding for January.

“[Kroy] and I are happy to announce the birth of our son today,” Zolciak, 32, Tweeted. “Kroy Jagger Biermann is healthy & beautiful We are so in love!”

The proud new papa also shared his joy on Twitter, writing: “Thank you everyone for all of your well wishes!! KJ is doing so well along with momma @Kimzolciak Thank you God!!!”

We’ve got a feeling Kim’s happy feet dance will be shortlived. Her bestie-turned-arch nemesis NeNe Leakes recently confirmed that she’ll definitely be back for a fourth season of RHOA when the show returns to Bravo later this year.

Snooki Driver’s License Revoked After Reality Star Plows Into Italian Cops


Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi is no longer free to terrorize the roads of Florence. Officials in Italy have revoked the reality star’s driving privileges after her Monday afternoon collision with a police cruiser sent two law enforcement officials to the hospital and set the Jersey Shore guidette up for what could be a massive civil suit.

Polizzi, in the Renaissance city to tape the fourth season of the MTV show, rear-ended the patrol car as it was acting as an escort for her vehicle. Her Shore co-star Deena Cortese and a crew member were also in the car during the accident, but they escaped uninjured. The officers in the smashed cruiser were treated at a local hospital for whiplash and minor injuries. They’ll be out of work for at least a week as they recover.

Polizzi and Cortese were taken to a police station to fill out an accident report form but were not arrested. In accordance with Italian law, Polizzi’s license to drive in the country was revoked because the crash injured fellow motorists. Snooki, 23, appeared to have an injury of her own; she was snapped getting around town on foot today wearing a neck brace, but she soon removed it when the reality cameras started rolling. Faker? Stranger things have happened.

Since no alcohol was involved, it’s unlikely that she will face criminal prosecution over the crash. The two injured officers, however, could file a civil action suit against her, production squeals tell Us Weekly.

Rock Of Ages Movie


Egads! We’re getting our first peek at Russell Brand and Alec Baldwin on the set of Rock of Ages, Adam Shankman’s silver screen adaptation of the Tony-nominated Broadway musical.

The movie musical stars Tom Cruise, former Dancing With The Stars mirrorball winner Julianne Hough, Oscar winner Catherine Zeta-Jones, and Mary J. Blige. Alex Baldwin plays washed-up rocker and nightclub owner Dennis Dupree. Russell Brand comes aboard as his assistant.

On Tuesday, Shankman Tweeted this photo of an almost unrecognizable Baldwin, who was nearly forced out of the movie due to an unidentified illness, wearing a shoulder-length blond. In the photo, which also features a longer-haired Russell Brand, Alec is sporting aviator shades, a patterned jean jacket and a number of bracelets. What a break from the sharp suits the Emmy winner routinely dons as Jack Donaghy on NBC’s 30 Rock.

Adele Stricken Down With Laryngitis


The British powerhouse has been forced to postpone dates on her sold-out tour of the US and Canada after losing her signature pipes to laryngitis. The “Rolling in the Deep” hitmaker was first diagnosed by doctors last Thursday. Their advice? Bed rest. Adele postponed that night’s engagement in Minneapolis, but decided to perform a Saturday evening set in Denver, Colorado. Yeah — that didn’t go so well. The star’s condition quickly worsened, prompting her to pull out of a show in Salt Lake City on May 29 before postponing gigs in Vancouver, Seattle, and Portland.

“I hate to cancel, especially at such short notice. I am truly devastated. I’m here in the city and tried to do sound check at the venue, but if I push through it tonight, it’ll take me longer to get better and more shows may need cancelling. Please forgive me!” Adele wrote in a blog posting this week.

Adele’s second album, 21, had been at the top of the music charts in the US before Lady Gaga’s Born This Way debuted with platinum-status sales last week.

The tour is set to resume in San Francisco on June 4. Fans are advised to be on the lookout for rescheduled dates.

Kim Kardashian Will Soon Be Kim Humphries


The announcement that the second oldest of her six daughters will tie the knot with NBA star Kris Humphries as early as next month has come with some unwelcome news for stage mom Kris Jenner. Kim Kardashian plans to change her surname when she marries Humphries, a move that Kris fears could have devastating effects on the lifestyle brand founded on the now-famous Kardashian name.

The Kardashians have styled themselves as a family brand – appearing together in their various E! reality series and pooling the cash earned thanks to their endorsement deals. Kris doesn’t want Kim to ditch her name after working so “hard” to turn it in to one recognized in households all over America.

“I don’t think she should take his name and be Kim Humphries,” the 55-year-old mother of six told PopEater.com this week. “I think she needs to be Kim Kardashian because she’s worked so hard to get where she is.”

Did it slip Kris’ mind that her other daughter, 26-year-old Khloe, has been going by Khloe Kardashian-Odom since marrying Los Angeles Laker Lamar in Sept. 2009?

Ever since Kim announced her engagement to Kris Humphries, mom Kris has been talking it up to the media. She’s already blabbed about asking Vera Wang about a dress and urged Kim to keep her hardearned name Kardashian rather than take her married name Humphries. Now Kris is dropping hints that since she is an ordained minister, she could be available to officiate the wedding!

“I’m actually an ordained minister,” Jenner added. “I knew it might come in handy one day but I’m not sure where Kim will want me on the day.”

Against her mother’s wishes, Kim Kardashian, 30, will be Kim Humphries before the fall, according to TMZ, which reports that the reality star will “for sure” take the basketballer’s surname after they walk down the aisle at their summer wedding.

And what a wedding it will be.

According to The New York Post, E! and Ryan Seacrest Productions are currently working out the best way to bring Kim and Kris’ wedding to the masses. It could possibly be weaved into the upcoming sixth season of Keeping Up With The Kardashians, which premieres next month, or become a television special, similar to what producers did when Khloe and Lamar got married. There’s even talk of a spinoff.

“Kris Humphries might not have known what he was getting into. This wedding is going to happen very much in the public eye. And they will make millions off of it….The wedding is going to be at the end of July or the beginning of August. The reason they’re rushing it is because they want to do it before the basketball season starts again, so that they have time to have a romantic honeymoon! She wants it to be very traditional, huge and formal.”

Joey McIntyre And Wife Welcome Baby Girl


There’s a “New Kid on the Block” for boy band singer Joey McIntyre and his wife, Barrett. The couple welcomed a baby girl Tuesday afternoon.

“Kira Katherine McIntyre was born May 31st at 12:30 pm PST. 7 lbs., 3 oz., 21 in. A beautiful baby girl with great timing and gorgeous hair,” McIntyre Tweeted early Wednesday.

Joey and Barrett, who married in 2003, already have two children together; Rhys Edward, 1, and Griffin Thomas, 3. Last December, they announced that they were expecting again.

“Barrett and I are so blessed and grateful for the little one on the way,” the now-38-year-old singer told PEOPLE at the time. “We’ll have our hands full. Three’s the new nine!”

The proud pop will have a few weeks to bond with Baby Kira before its time for him to hit the road with New Kids on the Block and the Backstreet Boys for the “NKOTBSB Summer Tour,” kicking off in Boston later this month.

Justin Timberlake Hooking Up With An Olsen


Park it Olivia Munn, Ashley Olsen is the latest big name on Justin Timberlake’s list of rebounds.

JT has lots of glowing things to say about ex-girlfriend Jessica Biel in the new issue of Vanity Fair — of course, that hasn’t stopped Timberlake from playing the field non-stop since their split in March.

Next up: Ashely Olsen.

Despite Justin’s rumored romantic link to House star Olivia Munn, Us Weekly tattles claim Justin and Ash have been spotted together at a number of places around New York City over the plately including a polo match, a party, and two Broadway shows. They’re trying to keep the romance quiet and that Ashley is “aware of Justin’s reputation with women,” but “they’re in the same head space.”

“They are friends. They are not romantically involved,” Justin’s rep insists.

Arnold and Maria’s Life Together


Arnold and Maria’s life together is about to come to a screeching halt after 25 years of marriage, if Arnie’s recent actions are any indication.

The former California governor has hired legal maverick Bob Kaufman to represent his interests in what could turn into a $200 million legal battle with the mother of his four children, former NBC News journalist Maria Shriver, 55. The Terminator star split from Shriver last month, shortly before it was publicly revealed that he’d fathered a child named Joseph, now 13, with the family’s housekeeper of 20 years, Mildred “Patty” Baena. Arnold has reportedly spent the past several months begging Maria and their kids — Katherine, 21, Christina, 19, Patrick, 17, and Christopher, 13, who born just a week before Joseph — to save their family.

So far, he has not been successful. Shocking, we know.

Kaufman has already been in contact with Shriver’s lawyer, Laura Wasser, and the high-powered attorneys are “moving forward” with divorce negotiations, TMZ.com reports. Snoops say both veteran litigators are experienced in dealing with high-profile celebrity divorces and will most likely keep mum on details of the split.

Selena Gomez Meets Justin Bieber's Family in Toronto


Selena Gomez met Justin Bieber's family in Toronto, Canada on June 1, after over a week of steamy romance that started with a very public kiss at the Billboard Awards and rapidly progressed to a passionate butt grabbing spit swap in Hawaii.

The young couple and the Bieber family visited a local park on Wednesday, where Selena was spotted playing with Justin's toddler half-siblings, Jazmyn and Jaxon, as Justin's father, Jeremy Jack Bieber, happily clicked photographs.

Justin and Bieber belatedly celebrated Jazmyn's birthday with the day out.

"They looked like one big happy family," according to an onlooker. "The little kids took to Selena straight away and they were all laughing and joking around. They couldn't have been happier."

Later, the family lunched at Swiss Chalet, and went out for ice cream.

Before arriving in Toronto, the couple spent time with Selena's family in Texas.

Justin's biological mother Patricia Lynn "Pattie" Mallette became pregnant with him when she was 18 years and raised Justin as a single mother doing low-paying office jobs.

Jeremy is married to another woman.

Brad Pitt Often Makes Parenting Mistakes


The Tree of Life star raises adopted children Maddox, nine, Pax, seven, Zahara, six, and biological kids Shiloh, four, and twins Knox and Vivienne, two, with partner Angelina Jolie and although he tries not to let his “crap” affect his kids, Brad admitted he doesn’t always get it right. He said: “It’s not like I’m a horrible parent, but I’ve certainly made mistakes and had to make up for it.

“I’m painfully aware that my actions leave a double mark on them in these formidable years, so I make sure I don’t bring my crap home.”

Although Brad and Angelina have both carved successful careers in Hollywood, the star has no intention of persuading their kids to follow in their footsteps and just hopes they will be happy in whatever they do.

He explained to People magazine: “Listen, I just want them to follow their bliss. Whatever makes them happy, “I want to keep them free to explore that innocence as long as possible and find out what’s really interesting to them. I just don’t want to encumber them in any way.”

Kim K’s Ring Inscribed With Biblical Passages About Perfect Godly Woman


Kris Humphries, who proposed to the 30-year-old beauty last week, spent days researching the “perfect” passages to feature on the band, but then had to keep the jewellery hidden for a few weeks until he was ready to pop the question.

He explained: “There’s one verse, Proverbs 31: 10-31, about the perfect godly woman. The other, 1 John 3:18, is about love. It took me a few days to pick them out and research the perfect ones. I got the ring a while ago. I had it for a few weeks.”

The basketball player, who has been dating Kim for six months, also admitted he sought guidance from one of the reality TV star’s closest friends, publicist Jonathan Cheban.

Kris added to People magazine: “I know all her girlfriends but he’s her only guy friend. I wanted to ask him what he thought. A while ago, I called him and told him, ‘I have to do this, I have to propose, I want to do this now!’

“I was going to do it on a vacation we took but the timing wasn’t right. So when Kim was in Miami doing a QVC thing Jonathan came to Los Angeles and we just hung out and talked about the proposal. We set some things up.”

Moss, who has an eight-year-old daughter, Lila Grace, with ex-boyfriend Jefferson Hack, is planning to turn her wedding into a “small festival”, with the celebrations set to continue for several days.

“Kate wants it to be a party to remember and like a small festival. She doesn’t want her guests to leave for days so she’s making sure there is plenty of food and entertainment. It’s a no-expense spared do, thought most of her budget will probably go on alcohol,” the source added.

The 38 year-old organised a charity run in California to help people affect by March’s earthquake and tsunami. Because of his work, Duhamel was recently awarded with the Crystal Cross at the annual Red Cross Red Tie Affair. He told Fox411.com: “I had never been honoured in that kind of way. I was like, ‘Really? You’re going to give me an award? OK, I’ll be there!’ I had this need to want to do something, actively do something, rather than just go to an event. I wanted to feel like I was actually contributing something physically.” When the tsunami and earthquake hit Japan, Duhamel and his wife Fergie were particularly affected. He added: “The Black Eyed Peas have a very close relationship with Japan. They go there quite often. They were shooting a video just four days before the earthquake and tsunami struck there. So Fergie was really upset by the news.”
