Rachel and Hayden: Christmas Party Couple

Spending the weekend together, Rachel Bilson and Hayden Christensen were spotted out for a Christmas party at Rachel’s mom’s house in North Hollywood on Saturday (December 19).

The “Jumper” cutie strolled alongside her “Star Wars” actor fiance while carrying two gift-wrapped boxes, presumably for her mom and her little sister Hattie.

Reese Witherspoon: Focusing on Ava and Deacon

Caught up in the excitement of the holiday season, Reese Witherspoon was spotted out shopping with the kiddies in Brentwood, California on Saturday (December 19).

The “Monsters vs. Aliens” star mom strolled along in a colorful frock, leading Ava and Deacon into Jenny Bec’s Toy Store.

Ever the adorable family, Reese’s young children curiously browsed through the shop’s selections - even sharing hugs as they waited for their mother to check out.

The day’s outing comes not long after it was revealed that Miss Witherspoon has broken up with boyfriend Jake Gyllenhaal, who happens to be celebrating his 29th birthday today (December 19).

Ashley Tisdale and Scott Speer: Holiday Shoppers

Finishing up on a little last minute shopping for the holidays, Ashley Tisdale was out making her rounds on Saturday afternoon (December 19).

The “Aliens In the Attic” actress brought along boyfriend, Scott Speer, and her furry canine companion, Maui, who seemed very interested in the shutterbugs as they made their way to and from their adventures.

Kevin Jonas and Danielle Deleasa Tie the Knot!

Making the lifelong commitment to one another, Kevin Jonas and Danielle Deleasa said their “I Do’s” during a breathtaking ceremony at Oheka Castle in Long Island on Saturday night (December 19).

With everything going as planned despite the nasty winter weather, over four hundred family members and friends turned up for the fancy affair.

Dishing details to People magazine, event planner Michael Russo tells that Miss Deleasa wore a strapless tulle and Chantilly lace Vera Wang gown, adding, “Danielle looked like a princess. Kevin couldn’t stop smiling.”

Meanwhile, Kevin’s bandmate brothers, Joe and Nick, tended to their best men duties as they watched their elder sibling exchange vows and Jacob & Co. wedding bands with his lovely bride.

Releasing a statement following their marriage ceremony, the couple said, “We’re so happy that we’re finally married and we were able to share the special moment with family, friends and loved ones.”

Jessica Alba and Honor Marie: Barneys Babes


Back out for another day of holiday shopping, Jessica Alba and daughter Honor Marie were spotted paying a visit to Barneys New York in Beverly Hills on Saturday (December 19).

The “Good Luck Chuck” actress used her muscles as she pulled her growing baby girl out of the car and into her stroller, with Jess showing off her well-placed butterfly tattoo as paparazzi snapped up shots.

Heidi Klum and Family Hit the Slopes of Aspen

Making sure that their brood gets to enjoy a white Christmas, Heidi Klum and Seal were spotted living it up with the kiddies in snowy Aspen, Colorado on Saturday afternoon (December 19).

With the Victoria’s Secret supermodel mommy carefully cradling baby Lou in her arms, the happy family headed out for skiing lessons at Buttermilk slopes.

Monica Danger Denies Breakdown, Admits to Depression

Most things associated with For the Love of Ray J are hilarious. Take the show's star, for instance (please!).

But the case of Monica Danger isn't really a laughing matter.

The season one finalist gave birth a few months ago, and then landed in psychiatric hold after she went all Britney and shaved her head.

In a new interview with VH1, Monica - known simply as "Danger" during her time trying to woo Ray J on TV - opened up about her issues...

On her postpartum depression: "People don’t know how serious of an illness postpartum depression is. I’ve had a very rough life. People don’t understand that when you come from a tough past, and you have a child and you have postpartum depression, a lot hits you at once. You always want a better life for your child than what you had."

On reports of a breakdown: "People think there was a big thing where I was violent and angry, but that didn’t happen. I was very depressed. I was crying and very sad. I have no support. I have no family support. I have no financial support. I’ve never felt loved."

On her hospital stay: "It started off extremely bad. I don’t like to be imprisoned. I was born free, I’m going to die free... I knew the only way I was going to get out was if I controlled my anger. I escaped twice and was on the run. They had to find me. When I finally came back, I just knew that if I ever wanted to see my daughter again, I had to control my anger."

On getting better: "I just have to talk to God. I wrote letters to my daughter, and I couldn’t talk to any of my family. My child’s father called with his father, and told me that he loved me and wanted to get better. That helped me a lot. Positive people in my life that aren’t related to me were showing me that I was loved."

On... we're not sure what: "I’ll always be Danger. She’s part of me. She’s my creation. Since I was 19, I’ve been that person. But I have control. I can control who I am. I’ve playing Danger for a long time. And I’m tired of playing Danger."

Paul Wesley or Sean Faris: Who Would You Rather...

For 10 episodes of The Vampire Diaries, Paul Wesley has been doing battle with Ian Somerhalder.

The portrayal of Stefan and Damon Salvatore by these handsome actors has been the key to that show's early success on The CW.

But Wesley will soon have competition for hottest series star from another source, as Sean Faris debuts on the drama in early 2010.

Faris, whose previous best-known role was on the short-lived Fox show Reunion, comes aboard The Vampire Diaries in the role of a bartender named Ben. Will he suck blood, or merely suck face with female characters on the show?

Time will tell. For now, readers needs to choose between this pair of hunks...

Spencer Pratt: The Official "I'm a Celebrity" Cover

Yesterday, Spencer Pratt issued a Twitter challenge to his followers: Send in what you think the cover of his first single, "I'm a Celebrity," should look like.

What you see below is not the real cover (check out his Twitter for that). But we think the one we made is a fitting tribute to the man's unique greatness ...

You may recall the pulsating beats and lyrical brilliance of "I'm a Celebrity" from last summer's reality show of the same name, which starred Speidi.

Dean Sheremet to Divorce LeAnn Rimes

Dean Sheremet has filed for divorce from LeAnn Rimes, following a contentious year that saw their eight-year marriage disintegrate in the public eye.

According to court papers, Sheremet cited "irreconcilable differences" for the end of their union, which crumbled as Rimes cheated with Eddie Cibrian.

Sheremet is seeking spousal support from the country star, and also wants her to pay all the attorneys' fees, which is probably somewhat reasonable.

After all, it was Rimes' torrid affair with Eddie Cibrian that was caught by tabloids on video and ultimately led to the demise of their marriage (and his).

Cibrian is also married to Brandi Glanville, and they are also divorcing. She and Dean have been far from thrilled with how this thing has played out.

Eddie and LeAnn are dating now after she and Dean separated. Hopefully, Dean doesn't follow Brandi's lead and go all Carrie Underwood on LeAnn's car.

Celebrity of the Year Finalist #5: Adam Lambert and Lady Gaga!

As 2010 draws near, The Hollywood Gossip staff looks back on the year that was, honoring finalists for our prestigious, 3rd Annual Celebrity of the Year award.

These stars have given us their best, their worst, their off-the-wall antics and in the case of these two, an immediate, but lasting impact on the music world.

It's time for THG to pay tribute to this greatness.

Yesterday, the '09 countdown featured lots of Tiger Woods mistresses at #6. Today, we present Celebrity of the Year Finalist #5: Adam Lambert and Lady Gaga!

The year in music belonged to these two rising stars.

He started the year as an unknown; made headlines in February for his flamboyant acts; finished second on American Idol; and has to already be considered one of the most successful singers in the show's history.

Adam Lambert hasn't merely made a name for himself in 2009, he's created a cult following in fewer than 12 months.

Hated by some and embraced by others, the crooner managed to handle his sexuality with both subtle grace AND over-the-top exploits. Adam has more in common with Lady GaGa than unique fashion taste and controversial performances.

Both are well-spoken in interviews and deadly serious about their craft.

Lambert made out with a man at the American Music Awards, but 2009 will be best remembered as the year he made off with the title of Most Fascinating Singer Alive.

As for his female counterpart, Lady Gaga produced a half-dozen hits this year, proving herself so much more than a gimmick or flamboyant flash in the musical pan.

Not that there was a shortage of flamboyance.

She dressed as scrap metal, a gimp, a button, a chain-smoking rabbit, and a Kermit the frog doll collage. She simulated her own bloody murder on stage. She was even rumored to be a hermaphrodite after one revealing display.

We love her for every moment of it. That's just Lady Gaga for you.
