Last week we learned that Leonardo DiCaprio and Bar Refaeli are very much still together and now here's even more evidence that not only are they a couple, but they're cutesy as hell. They were spotted getting all squishy faced celebrating the end of 2007 with a long weekend in Vegas, only they stayed away from the red carpet heavy club scene, opting instead for some QT playing poker at the Bellagio.
For the actual big night, Leo, Bar and 15 friends went with table service at The Bank nightclub in the Bellagio, dancing and drinking away the final hours of 2007. When the clock struck midnight, the adorable duo was making out like the best of 'em. Hopefully this means another good year for this beautiful couple.

Well what do we have here? It looks like Shia LaBeouf has already scored his second Vanity Fair cover in less than a year's time — pretty impressive if you ask us. The legendary Annie Leibovitz shot the photos of the Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull cast on the set, including Shia, Harrison, and Cate Blanchett. We also get a peek at what went into making the 4th installment of the Indiana Jones chronicles from the sources themselves — George Lucas, Steven Spielberg, and Harrison Ford. Here are highlights:
- Harrison on getting back into character: “There’s something about the character that I guess is a good fit for me, because the minute I put the costume on, I recognize the tone that we need, and I feel confident and clear about the character.”
- Steven on teaming up with Harrison again: “I mean, we’re both older, and we both look a bit older, I think, certainly, but at the same time Harrison needed to recapture the caustic, laconic spirit of Dr. Jones, and certainly he was going to have to manage the action, and he did both of those things amazingly well, certainly far beyond what I expected.”
- George on how the movie will be received: “I know the critics are going to hate it. They already hate it. So there’s nothing we can do about that. They hate the idea that we’re making another one. They’ve already made up their minds.”
George Lucas may have a pessimistic outlook, but we have a feeling that we're not the only ones who can't wait to check out the new film. How could you go wrong with all the fun of an Indiana Jones movie with great new additions to the cast?
Just last week we saw Selma Blair hitting the stores with her puppy and a mystery man, leading us to believe that she and Matthew Felker might have split up. However, apparently, the couple is still together and enjoying playing with Selma's cute doggies in LA. Selma's pooches clearly get lots of love, so she probably doesn't need to make any pet resolutions this year. As for Matthew and Selma, it's great to see they are still going strong and we're curious as to what will be in store for this couple in 2008.

Little River Deary is a lucky boy with the frequent walks in NYC with his mom Keri (though it's even better when they team up with their pals Jennifer and Violet). The mother and son duo went for a stroll in Brooklyn on Monday where River stayed warm and cozy in his stroller under that big blue blanket. Such a little munchkin! Even though River has some competition in the cute new baby department, Keri is hands down your favorite new mom of the year. Can't wait to see more of these two (and hopefully that nice looking husband of hers) together in 2008. ICYMI, take a look back at River and all of the adorable babies of 2007.

Jessica Alba gave us a peek at her growing baby bump while hitting the gym once again in LA this weekend. Obviously Alba isn't going to let a little one get in the way of the sexy body that helped make her famous. Keri Russell took home the top post-baby slim down title last year but we have a feeling Alba will be a contender for the title this year. We hope Jessica and Cash had a super special New Year's Eve last night even though mommy-to-be Jessica had to skip the champagne. The newly engaged couple certainly have plenty to celebrate and even more to look forward to in 2008.

We were so distracted by Ashlee and Pete's cute kissy time that we didn't even notice the ring she was sporting on her left hand at her NYE party on Monday night. Her engagement ring finger was still occupied yesterday as she and Pete did some shopping around Miami, but don't start envisioning their hipster wedding just yet. Both Ashlee's and Pete's reps have already denied that the couple is engaged. These two definitely seemed to be all loved up these days, but knowing how fickle Pete can be, we're glad they're waiting a bit before diving into marriage vows.
