HOW UNCELEBRITY-LIKE! Actors Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively quietly tied the knot over the weekend at the 18th Century Boone Hall Plantation near Charleston, S.C. The low-key couple have been dating at least since October 2011, just three months after the Green Lantern star’s divorced Scarlett Johannsen.

Blake and Ryan costarred in the movie based on the DC comic character; there were rumblings back then that the two had eyes for each other.

Kristen Stewart Sizzles On Toronto Red Carpet

By Elizabeth C.

SHE SURE CLEANS UP NICE WHEN SHE WANTS TO.

Kristen Stewart braved the red carpet in Toronto tonight for the first time since Us Weekly published photos of her making out with her director on the Snow White & The Huntsman film. The 22-year-old star immediately issued a heartfelt apology but the damage was done to her three-year romance with Robert Pattinson.

That was July 17, and since then there have been numerous reports that a chagrined Kristen was subsisting on Red Bull and ciggies and just generally skipping over hygiene. But tonight at the Toronto premiere of On The Road a film basedon Jack Kerouac’s road trip novel, Stewart was dressed to impressed — and maybe even cause Pattinson’s temperature to rise to fever. The star looked stunning in a sequined floral gown by Zuhair Mura with her hair pulled off her face and falling around her shoulders.
“I’ve loved this book since I was 14,” Kristen gushed to the media.

Just hours earlier she was spotted wearing one of Rpatz’s T-shirts on her way through the Los Angeles airport where she was catching a midnight flight to Toronto.

Snooki Emotes, Jessica Simpson Shills & Mad Men Gets Rick Rolled

By Miz J

SNOOKI AND HER KID ARE ON THE COVER OF People this week, and we’re as shocked as you are to see that little cutie Lorenzo. We were SURE that it was gonna be like that scene from the Cosby show, where the “baby” actually ends up being a bottle of orange soda and a hoagie. Except, of course, since this is Snooki, it’d be a bottle of orange tanning lotion and a fifth of whiskey. Nope. All baby. Wonders never cease. “It’s a different kind of love that I never felt before,” coos first-time mom Nicole Polizzi, 24, to the mag. She swears “The partying is long gone. I’m a new person.” Too bad for us, but it’s all good for Lorenzo. Congrats to the momma meatball.
