Sarah Jessica Parker and her co-host for the evening, Gerard Butler, coordinated in complementary shades of blue during last night's Nobel Peace Prize Concert held in Oslo, Norway. The stars were joined on stage during the event by performers like Jennifer Hudson, Seal, Kylie Minogue, and Ne-Yo. The concert wraps up this year's Nobel celebrations, with the European Union taking home the top honor.
The European getaway comes as a break after a hectic promotional schedule for Gerard. He made the talk-show-circuit rounds in November on behalf of his surfing flick Chasing Mavericks and recently joined costar Jessica Biel in NYC and LA to chat up their big-screen love story, Playing For Keeps. It seems Gerard's charm couldn't tempt fans into theaters, as the film earned a disappointing $6 million during opening weekend. But 2013 kicks off with another high-profile project from Gerard; he's set to make a cameo alongside Emma Stone, Halle Berry, Hugh Jackman, Naomi Watts, and many more in the adult comedy Movie 43.

Last night's Lakers vs. Celtics game was a star-studded one. David Beckham reported to the Staples Center to see the home team defeat the visiting Bostonians 94-97. New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady may not have been as pleased with the results, nor was Boston native Jessica Biel likely happy to see the guys in green lose. Jessica did have a reason to smile, though, since she sported her huge diamond from Justin Timberlake on her finger. We got a first look at Jessica Biel's engagement ring last week, though her fiancé Justin apparently proposed over the holidays. Other celebs who turned out to see the action last night included Joseph Gordon-Levitt and a fresh-from-Austin Tobey Maguire.
Seal is making his first public appearance since announcing his separation from Heidi Klum on The Ellen DeGeneres Show tomorrow. The admittedly grieving singer says he still has love for Heidi, whom he refers to as "the most wonderful woman in the world," and he insists that the former couple will keep things civil as they navigate their split. Hear why Seal still finds comfort in wearing his wedding ring, and more, in this sneak peek of his chat with Ellen, and be sure to tune in on Tuesday.
Heidi Klum and Seal have separated after nearly seven years of marriage. They got together in 2003, and were one of Hollywood's most photogenic duos ever since. Along with their four children Leni, Henry, Johan, and Lou, we've seen the Klum-Samuels skiing in Aspen, vacationing in Mexico, and pounding the pavement in NYC. Throughout it all, stylish couple Heidi and Seal showed lots of love. However, they've made the decision to part ways — take a look back now at some of their sweetest moments together.
