Matt Damon stopped by Live With Kelly and Michael for a Christmas Eve chat with Kelly Ripa and Michael Strahan. Matt talked about the surprise of their fourth daughter and why he thinks that raising girls may just be easier than boys. Matt also revealed a bit about the Damon family Christmas traditions and the conundrum of celebrating on the 24th instead of the Dec. 25 morning. Check out the clip!
Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux upheld her annual tradition of heading to Cabo for Christmas and New Year's Eve with friends. Jen and Justin wore matching white t-shirts for their private jet journey to Mexico. Jennifer and Justin's love-filled getaway to Italy made our best celebrity PDA moments of 2012. Their engagement — especially her amazing diamond ring — is also in the running on our bracket for biggest pop culture headline of the year, though it's currently only in seventh place. What's next for 2013? There are consistently baby rumors swirling around the happy couple, but first up there may be some Aniston-Theroux wedding plans in the works.
Gwyneth Paltrow, Chris Martin, and their kids, Apple and Moses, arrived at JFK airport together on Sunday. The family look to be spending Christmas on the East Coast and will be hanging out there until New Year's Eve, since Chris has an important gig on Dec. 31. Chris and his band, Coldplay, and Jay-Z are headlining an NYE concert together at the new Barclays Center in Brooklyn. It will be Chris's second big NYC show of the month — he also performed at the 12/12/12 Sandy benefit concert alongside Michael Stipe. The Jay-Z and Coldplay extravaganza should be an exciting celebratory event, and hopefully their A-list ladies Gwyneth and Beyoncé will make a cameo on stage.
Chris Hemsworth was in charge of the luggage while his wife, Elsa Pataky, carried their daughter, India, through LAX on Sunday. It's been an exciting 2012 for Chris, who starred in Snow White and the Huntsman, reprised his role of Thor in The Avengers, and welcomed his adorable baby girl in May. Lucky for us, Chris also stripped down and landed in our best celebrity shirtless moments of the year. Chris's brother Liam had his own exciting headlines to celebrate, like getting engaged to Miley Cyrus. With the two Hemsworth boys both in California for Christmas, perhaps they'll be spending it together. The guys are also going head to head in our sexiest man of the year poll, though currently Chris needs your help if he is going to beat Ryan Gosling.
It's been another surprising and amazing year for Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart! There was an unexpected roller coaster before the final Twilight Breaking Dawn Part 2 press tour, and Rob and Kristen both had breakout projects beyond their vampire franchise. Rob and Kristen's romantic relationship survived a scandal, and they look to be going strong as we head into 2013. Take a look back at their highs, lows, and most romantic moments of the year on this PopSugar Rush special. On Lindsay Miller: wardrobe courtesy of Club Monaco.
Suri Cruise was dressed in head-to-toe pink for an afternoon of shopping with Katie Holmes in NYC on Saturday. Katie and Suri are spending the weekend before Christmas together, though Suri is reportedly off to spend the actual holiday in Los Angeles with her dad, Tom Cruise, and his other two children, Connor and Isabella. Katie is tied to New York right now since she's appearing on Broadway in Dead Accounts. Katie stopped by Letterman last week to chat about her role, revealing that during one performance she forgot her lines. Katie's decision to split from Tom was one of the most shocking celebrity couple moments of 2012, and while neither has been officially linked to anyone else, perhaps 2013 will bring new romance.
With 2012 quickly coming to a close, we're taking a look back at the lovely ladies who rocked the red carpet, box office, and stage. Jennifer Aniston and Angelina Jolie shared engagement news, while Kate Middleton added a pregnancy to her big 12 months. Kristen Stewart starred in two major blockbusters, and Gwyneth Paltrow continued tackling new projects. Beyoncé Knowles and Jennifer Garner expanded their families, and Victoria Beckham reunited with the Spice Girls while running a fashion empire. Britney Spears proved she's still the Princess of Pop, drawing major ratings for The X Factor. It's sure to be a close race, but tell us: who is your favorite female star of 2012?

The Garner-Affleck family celebrated a year full of major milestones, both personal and professional. Not only did Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck welcome their third child, Samuel Affleck, but also, Ben received major accolades for his third directorial project, Argo, and Jen starred in The Odd Life of Timothy Green and Butter.
The family also did its share of jet-setting. Jennifer, Samuel, Violet, and Seraphina met up with Ben over the Summer as he shot a new film in Puerto Rico, making a family vacation of the visit and hitting the beach.
