A slew of stars came out to congratulate Nick for being chosen as Cosmo's Fun Fearless Male of the Year. So, we can understand why Cosmo thinks he's fun - we've seen him in action. But what about the fearless part? Evidently Nick received a lot of flack when he used his break-up with Jessica as inspiration for his 2006 hit album What's Left of Me. But despite the criticism, he now says he's glad that he went with his gut. Here's more:

"I've certainly gotten my share of criticism from people who are like `how could you talk about all that? It's so undignified,'" he says in an interview with the magazine.

"For me, it was the greatest thing I could do to let my guard down and be willing to expose my emotions and put them into music. Especially when going through an experience like divorce, you have to find some outlet to get that out of your system or it'll eat you up."

Considering their whole relationship was aired on national television it seems pretty appropriate. Either way we're glad he did it, because it made for some great songs (and kept him on the map).

Hey, Mischa Barton might not be the b*tch that recent stories would suggest. It was rumored that Mischa spoke openly about her OC character's demise being the reason for the show's tragic cancellation, but we were always dubious about its validity. Now it seems like we were right. TV Guide caught up with Mischa after the Golden Globes and she had this to say:

"It's definitely bittersweet," she told me. "It's too bad. I think it had its run, though. It was great while it lasted. But, of course, I was a little upset for [the cast]." When I asked her whether she felt Marissa's death contributed to the show's premature axing, as die-hard Marissa fans are naturally contending, she took the high road and said, "I have no comment on that. But I am really grateful to the fans. They've been very, very loyal, and that's always been really important to me."

It's certainly nice to hear that Mischa is not as heinous as some people try to make her seem. Other than her questionable choice in boyfriends, she's always struck us as a fairly respectable starlet. M-Bart turns 21 this week, so expect a boozy homegirl out on the town in LA. We can't wait.

Keira is so furious over an article that was published in the Daily Mail about her weight; she's taking legal action. The original article about a girl who had died of anorexia included a shot of Keira on a beach. Keira says the article suggests she has been lying about having an eating disorder. In a statement she said she plans to challenge the article's suggestion that she is to blame for the girl's death by setting a bad example. While we agree Keira's been looking super thin, we can understand why she wants to not be associated with the article.

Losing American Idol hasn't hurt Chris Daughtry any. This weekend he sang the National Anthem at the NFC Championship Game in Chicago. His self-titled debut album reached #2 on the Billboard Top 200 in December and is still at #4 in its 8th week, right behind Justin Timberlake! As if that wasn't enough, Daughtry's It's Not Over is VH1's #1 video this week on the V Spot!

Who knows what other AI "losers" will turn out to be huge stars. To check out Daughtry's video and see more pics just read more

Keri Russell had a lot to smile about at Sundance this weekend, where she attended the premiere of her new indie flick, Waitress. What is even more exciting is that the former Felicity star has just confirmed that she's pregnant with her first child. People reports that the actress and her fiancé Shane Deary will be having their baby this summer. No wedding date has been set so they may be following that latest Hollywood trend of baby before marriage. Stay tuned.

We're happy to see Keri back on the big screen, and wish her congratulations! To see more pics of Keri looking adorable in her hat and scarf, just read more

Ginnifer and Chris are clearly not afraid to show the world how cute they are. When we stumbled across these pics we just about ahhhhed ourselves to death. They're obviously having a great time at Sundance. Chris is there to promote his film The Good Life which co-stars Zooey Deschanel. In the film he plays a scary sociopath, which is definitely a change from the sweethearted jock we are used to seeing. Looks like he's trying to keep from being typecast (or trying to break away from it).

Mandy Moore has come a long way from that teenage girl who had to just pretend to drive a car in her music video because she was too young to actually drive. To her, though, she can't forget about that period of her life soon enough. In February's Jane Mandy admits, "I feel bad that people wasted their money on such trite, blah pop music." Awww, don't feel bad Mandy, at least you've made up for your missteps by choosing better projects like Racing Stripes Saved! Mandy also opened up about a dark period of her life, People reports:

"A few months ago I felt really low, really sad – depressed for no reason," the singer and actress tells Jane magazine in its February issue. "I'm a very positive person, and I've always been glass-half-full. So it was like someone flipped a switch in me."

Moore, 22, and Braff, 31, split last year. Moore says the separation did not trigger her depression, but may have exacerbated it. "The breakup added to what I was going through, but it's not the complete reason," she says. "It definitely doesn't help if you're already in that place."

Moore does not speculate on what else might have caused her depression, but says it prompted some serious introspection.

"I've been going through this really crazy time in my life," she tells Jane. "I'm asking myself life-altering questions, like 'Who am I? Where do I fit in this world? What am I doing? What do I want to do? Am I living to my full potential?' "

Hopefully, DJ AM has been able to switch back on her inner happiness light bulb, because when Mandy is happy she just lights up the room. Wow, I really took that metaphor a little far, didn't I?

Ashton, Kristen and Haylie all came out to support their fledgling network at the CW Winter TCA press tour last week. The network just announced their series renewals and midseason scheduling plans. Veronica Mars will be experimenting with five non-serialized episodes at the end of the season. The CW will also begin streaming episodes of some of its shows including Mars and Ashton's Beauty and the Geek on cwtv.com. Meanwhile, no news doesn't necessarily mean good news for Haylie and 7th Heaven, while CW president Dawn Ostroff failed to specify which shows were being cancelled, it's most likely 7th Heaven will be one of them. But we're sure Haylie will have no problem finding a new home on another show.
