Ryan Reynolds Named People's Sexiest Man Alive

This just in: Scarlett Johansson is not the only good looking person in her household.
While that actress was named by GQ as its Babe of the Year this week, husband Ryan Reynolds has now matched his incredibly sexy half with a major honor of his own: People Magazine has named the six-packed star the Sexiest Man Alive.

Told by the publication about the distinction - which went to Johnny Depp last year - Reynolds joked about how it will affect life at home with Johansson.

"Now it's going to be, 'Sexiest man, take out the garbage.' That does sound better," he said, adding: "The most difficult part is going to be organically working this title into a conversation with random strangers."

Little Red Riding Trailer: Released, Dramatic, Directed by Catherine Hardwick

Catherine Hardwick has moved on from the Twilight Saga, but she hasn't gone too far.
The director is still treading in delicious teenage, supernatural drama, as her next film stars Amanda Seyfried and focuses on a big, bad wolf. Perhaps you've heard of the story: Little Red Riding Hood.

This updated version of the fairy tale is a dark one. It will hit theaters in March and stars Amanda Seyfried, Lukas Haa, Gary Oldman and Virginia Madsen.

Willow Palin Defends Sarah's TLC Show in Homophobic, Poorly-Written Facebook Rant

With Bristol Palin earning a place in the Dancing With the Stars finals, this week should have been a triumph for Alaska's best-known family. No longer.
Willow Palin, Bristol's sis and the 16-year-old daughter of former governor/VP nominee Sarah Palin, went on a homophobic rant on Facebook this week.
That's what happens when fellow users bash her mom's new reality show, Sarah Palin's Alaska. Feisty teen grizzlies gotta stand up for their mama!

Sarah Palin has taught Willow such good values. And grammar.

Willow's target, a person named Tre who goes to school with the Palin kids, wrote a status update the night of the TLC show's premiere, which read:
"Sarah Palin's Alaska is failing so hard right now."
Willow Palin fired back, "Haha your so gay. I have no idea who you are, But what I've seen pictures of, your disgusting. My sister had a kid and is still hot."
She later added, "Tre stfu. You such a f*ggot. I'm sticking up for my family."
Bristol Palin herself then came to her family's defense as well, firing off a biting report to Tre, "You're running your mouth just to talk sh*t."
What a class act this family is.
The girls could have simply cited the ratings, which proved Sarah Palin's Alaska was anything but a failure, netting over five million viewers. But alas.
All hell broke loose between Facebook critics and the Palins, with Bristol lashing out at someone named Jon (while also taking aim at Levi Johnston).
"You'll be as successful as my baby daddy," she wrote.
Ouch, Levi. That hurts man. Here's a screen grab of Willow's gay slurs and bad grammar. Seriously, girl. "Your" and "You're" are not hard to learn.

The brilliance of Willow Palin, ladies and gentlemen.

Emma Watson Premiere Fashion: What's Her Best Look?

While readers continue to debate whether Emma Watson looks better with short or long hair, the movie star has given fans more to debate.
Over the last few days, the actress graced the red carpet at a pair of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows premieres; first in London and then, last night, in New York City.
Watson donned a couple contrasting dresses for the events, rocking a sheer, short, sexy outfit in Great Britain and then changing into a more conservative, longer gown when she flew across the Atlantic. Compare the looks below:

Which fashion choice do you like better on Emma Watson?

Invited to Thanksgiving: Taylor Swift and Beyonce!

Will you be inviting Taylor Swift to Thanksgiving this year?
On the night of November 25, the singer will be featured on an NBC special, as she belts out renditions of “Mine,” “Sparks Fly,” “Story of Us,” “Enchanted,” and “Speak Now" from various locations. One of them will be a rooftop in NYC, as previewed in the rehearsal photo here:

This program will treat viewers to a behind-the-scenes look at Swift’s world, from recording in the studio to signings autographs for fans to avoiding paparazzi on the streets.

But the special will also have some serious competition: ABC is planning a Beyonce feature for the same night.

Nicole Richie and Joe Madden to Wed Next Month?

The date has FINALLY been set for the wedding of Nicole Richie and Joel Madden, at least if you're inclined to believe anonymous Radar Online sources.
For what it's worth, the alleged date is in early December.
The former Simple Life star and her rocker fiancee are set to tie the knot before a star-studded guest list at the Beverly Hills home of Nicole's proud dad.

Are Nicole and Joel (with Harlow) about to make it official?

"Christmas has always been about family and faith for Nicole and Joel, so there is not better time of the year for them to wed," an insider told the site.
While the super-secret details of theirs nuptials have not yet been released, close pal Christina Aguilera and Samantha Ronson are planning to attend.
The maid of honor will be Nic's best friend, Masha Gordon, Joel's twin brother, Benji, will be best man, and their daughter Harlow will be a flower girl.
Father Lionel Richie will walk Nicole down the aisle.
The pair, who confirmed their engagement in February after dating since 2006, also have a son, Sparrow. If the big day really is near, congratulations!

Parents of Kate Middleton on Prince William Engagement: Awesome!

Following many years of dating, and countless misleading tabloid cover stories, Kate Middleton and Prince William announced their engagement this week.
How do the former's parents feel about their daughter becoming an official part of the royal family in 2011? Pretty darn great!
"I would just like to say that Carole and I are absolutely delighted by today's announcement and thrilled by the prospect of a wedding sometime next year," said father Michael Middleton. "They make a lovely couple. They're great fun to be with and we've had a lot of laughs together. We wish them every happiness for the future."

The Wate-ing Game: William and Kate have made their love official.

William and Kate (who will be referred to as "Catherine" going forward) also met with the press this morning. At the media session, the Prince said he proposed with his mother's engagement ring (SEE IT BELOW).

"It is very special to me," William said. "It was my way to make sure my mother did not miss out on today and the excitement that we are going to spend the rest of our lives together."

Forgive the THG staff, readers. It just got awfully dusty in our offices. Please, give us a moment...

This is the rock that used to belong to Princess Di and is now around the finger of Kate Middleton.

Lindsay Lohan to Lose Linda Lovelace Role?

Is Lindsay Lohan on the verge of losing her role as Linda Lovelace in Inferno? Producers have been patient, but say there's definitely a Plan B in the works.
Director Matthew Wilder has stood by Lindsay through her legal woes, waiting for her to star as the legendary porn star. But he's exploring all options.
After all, Lohan will be in rehab at least until January 3 per court order, and it's unclear if she'll be rushing back to work even when she does get out.

Will Lindsay's Linda Lovelace biopic role be there when she gets out?

"We have been through a lot here, and although she is still our number one choice - we do have a Plan B if she cannot film Inferno," Wilder said.
"We have had a great response from other people who really want the part too. But we will wait until Lindsay has fulfilled all of her obligations."
Lohan's failed drug test in September forced Wilder and his producers to make plans beyond Lohan, who has not signed a binding contract, either.
For what it's worth, Linds has been dong well in rehab and so far has followed the rules imposed on her by both her counselors and the courts.
Time will tell if she can really turn things around, and what role work will play in her life immediately following her discharge from Betty Ford.
She's born for this role, though. Here's hoping it works out.

Mel Gibson: Oksana Grigorieva Injured Herself!

Mel Gibson's latest defense against allegations that he battered his now-ex, Oksana Grigorieva? That the crazy chick actually did that to herself. Seriously.
Oksana claims Mel scratched and bruised her January 6, which he denies, admitting only that he slapped her once, not hard, to protect their daughter.
As for how she appeared injured in photos taken after the fact?

SOMETHING'S FISHY: Mel says it's Oksana's story.

Mady Shany, Oksana's facialist, says in a declaration to the court that on January 12, Grigorieva came in for a facial, and she noted, "I noticed there were scratches and bruises around her eyes and on her forehead."
Shany says Oksana told her Mel "punched her and threw her on the bed while she had the baby in her arms." But was she lying about the abuse?
In Mel's declaration, he says Oksana is unstable and "suffers from Trichotillomania, an impulse control disorder characterized by the repeated urge to pull, and pulling, out ones own hair, eyelashes, eyebrows and other body hair."
Mel wasn't done there either, adding that "During our relationship Oksana often had scratches and bald spots on the side of her head as a result of this disorder (ones she is now, apparently, attempting to blame on me!)."
Oksana's lawyer, Daniel Horowitz, says in response to Gibson's declaration, "I've spent over 100 hours with Oksana and I have never seen her pick her hair or scratch her skin. She just acts like a totally normal person."
Gibson's camp says his former lover is plotting to extort him, a defense they believe is corroborated by Oksana Grigorieva emails we posted earlier.

Maksim Chmerkovskiy Determined to Oust Bristol Palin on Dancing With the Stars

Maksim Chmerkovskiy may be surly, blunt, critical and not politically correct, but it's just because he's a serious competitor who wants to win. Period.
Despite being demonstrably outclassed by the field week in and week out, Bristol Palin is still waltzing and spinning. Which has Maks' head spinning.
The fact that Bristol the Pistol is even in the top four on Dancing With the Stars has reportedly rankled Chmerkovskiy, who's partnered with Brandy.

Bristol Palin's surprisingly long stint on Dancing With the Stars has captivated millions. Do not court Maksim Chmerkovskiy among those millions.

“Maksim is very emotional and takes this show very seriously, if you haven’t already seen. He really wants to win,” a source says of the Ukrainian pro.
“He works extremely hard and finds it depressing when people he thinks aren’t worthy of their current position get further then they possibly should.”
He and Brandy are both so competitive and hungry, tensions often rise between them - and they're allies. Imagine how he feels about Bristol Palin.
While acknowledging some bad blood, a source says not to look into the grudge too much: “To say he simply doesn’t like her might be a little much.”
“He is more not liking the whole situation of potentially losing to someone who he believes has significantly less talent than himself and Brandy.”
What do you think? Can Bristol possibly make it to the final three? If she does, either Brandy, Jennifer Grey or Kyle Massey will have to go home.

Michaela Wallace Interview: A Chat with Justin Bieber's Girlfriend*

(* Not really.)
I love Justin Bieber because he has great music that I can relate to, and it doesn't hurt that he's really hot!
Michaela Wallace is certainly not the only 14-year old with this opinion. But she is the only 14-year old with a song titled "Justin Bieber's Girlfriend," one with a video that has gone viral and turned Wallace into an online sensation.

The young singer spoke to Celebuzz this week about her single and her hopes for a successful music career. Might we have a female version of Justin on our hands?
How long has been involved with music?
I have been singing as long as I can remember. Music has always been a passion of mine and part of my life. In church, at school or just on a regular day when I disappear into my room for some one-on-one time with my guitar. I have been playing the piano since I seven years old and playing the guitar since I was ten.
Does she have any special Justin Bieber concert memories?
Yes! Before the concert in Nashville, I got to go backstage and play Xbox Kinect with Justin. The concert was AWESOME! It really was a night I'll never forget.
Her EP is currently available via iTunes. What are her next plans?
I don't really have any plans right now, but I look forward to writing and recording more music and who knows where it will take me!

Coming to MTV: Teen Mom 2!

Move over, Maci Bookout. Step aside, Catelynn Lowell. Time to make room, Farrah Abraham. Cool your jets, Amber Portwood. Please don't hurt us.
MTV will premiere Teen Mom 2, a sequel to the smash hit reality show, on Tuesday, January 11. Get ready for so much more baby-raising drama.
"Teen Mom 2 is shooting right now," the show's executive producer, Morgan J. Freeman, told USA Today, confirming the sequel's debut on MTV.

The Teen Mom cast became pseudo-celebrities after their trials and tribulations aired this year. Dr. Drew has nothing to do with this, he's just in the photo.

Who are the new girls? Although the cast list hasn't yet been revealed, the featured young women were selected from the current cast of 16 and Pregnant.
As for original cast members Maci Bookout, Catelynn Lowell, Farrah Abraham and Amber Portwood, running it back for a new season, Freeman wasn't sure.
"We're doing some continuous-type shooting with the original [cast] but nothing's been announced yet about what we'll do with that," the producer said.
What do you think? Ready for Teen Mom 2?

Eva Longoria & Tony Parker: Divorce Rumor Untrue!

Less than an hour ago, we reported that Eva Longoria and Tony Parker were splitting after three years of marriage, and that Tony filed for divorce in Texas.
Now her rep says it's completely false!
Two clerks at the Bexar County Courthouse in Texas told TMZ the case was filed and sealed by a family law judge, but Eva's rep says Tony did not file.
The San Antonio Spurs star does not even have a divorce lawyer, she says, and another clerk now says no such divorce case has crossed her desk.

Eva Longoria (no longer Parker) is back on the market!

The Desperate Housewives actress and the San Antonio Spurs star married back in July 2007, and has his initials and jersey number tattooed on her body.
Longoria was to appear at the taping of Anderson Cooper's CNN Heroes of 2010 special this weekend, but canceled, sparking rumors something was up.
Fortunately, it looks like the rumors, however they started, simply spiraled out of control and people jumped the gun. Hopefully, they're happy as ever!

Source: Jake Gyllenhaal on "Cloud Nine" Over Taylor Swift, Planning Rendezvous in Paris

Reports indicate that Taylor Swift is more serious about her career than Jake Gyllenhaal.
But the same can't be said about the actor's feelings regarding this young singer. According to Hollywood Life sources, Jake has dated since his split with Reese Witherspoon, but "no one has put a smile on his face like Taylor. He’s really on cloud nine."

Call them Swiftenhaal or Gyllenwift. Just don't call Taylor and Jake a casual couple any longer.

Following casual dates in NYC and California, things between Swiftenhaal will allegedly heat up this December, as insiders claim: “The two are planning to spend the holidays together. And Jake plans to meet Taylor in Paris at the beginning of the new year, where she’ll be performing.”

How did these two even cross paths?

Maggie Gyllenhaal supposedly met Swift at a charity event and thought she was a "sweet girl with a good head on her shoulders." She told her brother the same.

But might she have walked her sibling into a trap? Will Swift soon pen a revenge song titled "Dear Jake?" Unlikely, a source says.

“He’s not like the other men Taylor has dated. Jake is no John Mayer. He’s a very sweet and sensitive guy. He treats women with respect.”

Evelyn Lozada and Chad Ochocinco: Engaged!

Forget Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson.
Sorry, Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo.
Move over, Prince William and Kate Middleton.
The biggest engagement news of the celebrity world this week comes from the NFL: Chad Ochocinco has popped the proverbial question to Evelyn Lozada - and she's said yes!

Viewers of VH1's Basketball Wives may be familiar with Lozado, who flew to Cincinnati yesterday and received the shock of a lifetime from her boyfriend of four months. Tweeted the reality star of her incomprehensibly large ring:

"I'm no rabbit but 10 carats looks good on me!! Let the hating begin."

You heard her ladies...

Fashion Face-Off: Chace Crawford vs. Ed Westwick

Chace Crawford and Ed Westwick star on Gossip Girl.
Along with co-stars Blake Lively and Leighton Meester, they hit up the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund Awards November 15 at New York City's Skylight Soho.

Bristol Palin is a Dancing With the Stars Finalist; Brandy Eliminated in Stunner!

WTF. There's no other intro we can muster right now.
It's not anything new that Dancing With the Stars is more about popular support than technical merit, especially with mediocre, middle of the pack performers. But at some point, you'd assume the better dancers would be rewarded.
You'd assume wrong, apparently. Bristol Palin will be joining Jennifer Grey and Kyle Massey in next week's finals, with a deserving Brandy on the sidelines.

Somehow, Brandy and Maks will be watching, not dancing in the finals.

No sooner had we talked about how Palin's run personally irked Maksim Chmerkovskiy than he and Brandy got the boot Tuesday, despite great dancing Monday.
A record-high number of votes made it happen, too.
"One thing that I love, for my family, the choice they made to come to this country," said Ukrainian-born Maks, taking the high road, "the fact that people vote and voices count. I love that this show represents that, the people's choice."
"I don't regret a second of the last five years of my being on the show and definitely not a second of me being on this season. It's been an amazing journey."
Uhhnh, did Maks just pseudo-quit Dancing With the Stars?
Apparently millions of voters felt she totally deserved it, but one person on stage didn't look stunned, including Bristol herself and partner Mark Ballas.
Imagine if she actually wins this thing next week.

Can anyone derail the Bristol Palin express?

We know she works her butt off, and there's nothing objectionable about her on a fundamental level. But she can't dance. It's time for this to end.
All we have to say is that Jennifer Grey and Kyle Massey voters? You better be on your robo-texting game, because the Palin movement is no joke.
Call it a conspiracy, call it pure enthusiasm for the teen mom next door. Whatever you want to label her, she's one of the final three this season.
Does Bristol Palin deserve to be in the finals?

Prince William & Kate Middleton Videos: Interviews, Reaction and More!

Hey, did you hear that Prince William and Kate Middleton are engaged? And that the former gave the latter his mother's old engagement ring? It's true.
This couple is everywhere this week, following the blockbuster announcement that the two are set to get married in the spring or summer of 2011. We have a feeling they'll continue to dominate every corner of the news world until the day they tie the knot.

How did the proposal come about? How do Kate's parents feel about the upcoming nuptials? Can we see a larger shot of that giant ring?

Kate Gosselin Makes Kids Eat Rotten Food

No wonder her kids get kicked out of school.
You'd have rage issues too if your mom made you eat week-old food. That's just gross. But Kate Gosselin says she's trying to teach her brood not to be wasteful.
If they don't eat their lunch, Kate re-packs it up again. Instead of throwing away uneaten grub, "she repacks it for them in the next's day lunch," a source says.

SLAVE-DRIVER: Kate Gosselin is not messing around.

Those PB & Js can get a little gross after a week, though: "The kids are stubborn, so sometimes they kids have the same half-eaten sandwich in their lunch all week."
The 9-year-old twins and 6-year-old sextuplets get teased for musty sandwiches, too. "Some of the little ones cry, and some get angry and fight," a source adds.
Kate has been called a child abuser more than once in the recent past, and while her ex-husband Jon won't go that far, he reportedly isn't a fan of her frugal fits.
A pal overheard him dad quip: "If you lived with me, you wouldn’t have to eat bad food for lunch every day." True, but they'd get a heavy dose of mediocre girls.

Eva Longoria Divorce Update: Actress May File Soon, Tony Parker Infidelity Rumored

Eva Longoria's rep shot down a report that Tony Parker filed for divorce in Texas this week, but that doesn't appear to be the end of the marriage drama.
A source tells People that the Desperate Housewives actress does in fact plan to file divorce papers of her own soon, perhaps as early as this afternoon.
Longoria was "totally and completely blindsided" by reports appearing this week of infidelity by Parker, who plays for the NBA's San Antonio Spurs.

The pair were married three years ago in a castle in France. We will have more on the Eva Longoria-Tony Parker divorce drama if and when details emerge.

Bruce Beresford-Redman Arrested for Killing Wife

Bruce Beresford-Redman is no longer merely a suspect in the murder of his wife. The television producer has finally been arrested for this heinous crime.
Beresford-Redman - who was detained in April after wife Monica turned up dead in Mexico, near where the couple had been vacationing - was arrested in his home outside Los Angeles yesterday. He's in federal custody and, according to documents obtained by TMZ, will be extradited to Mexico.

The tragic murder of Monica Beresford-Redman has made for tabloid fodder for months now.

Monica's body was found in a sewer at the Moon Palace resort in Cancun earlier this year. It later came out that Bruce had been having an affair, and authorities have spent the time since building a case against the former producer of Survivor.

An arrest was made yesterday because Mexican police now believe they have compiled enough evidence against the alleged murderer. This includes:

• Email confirmation of Bruce's infidelity.
• Forensic experts finding blood stains on a pillar in the hotel room Bruce and Monica shared, as well as on the sheets and on a railing.
• Two teenagers in the room below Bruce's who are on record as saying they were awakened by "screams, crying for help and extremely loud banging from the room above... it sounded like a woman in extreme distress."
• Marks found by authorities on Bruce's hands, behind his ear, on his left shin and on his right ankle shortly after his wife went missing.

Beresford-Redman will appear in a federal courtroom in Los Angeles today.
