A handful of Hollywood's finest said their vows this year in various locations across the globe. We asked you to vote for your favorite celebrity wedding, and so far Nicole and Keith are leading the pack with Tom and Katie right behind. We love that each couple put their own spin on their special day. While Nicole and Keith had a smaller, more private wedding in Australia, Tom and Katie's nuptials proved to be one of the year's biggest events and was attended by lots of Hollywood A-listers. Pink and Carey Hart as well as Tori and Dean opted for more romantic settings on the beach in Mexico and Fiji. We thought Pam and Kid's multiple celebrations were a perfect fit for this partying pair (and we're sad that they had to burn out so quickly). Surprisingly, the most traditional affair was the not-so-punk-rocker couple Avril and Deryck - they married on an estate in California in front of friends and family. We wish all of the couples the best of luck in 2007 and for many years to come!
Ever since his much publicized divorce from Uma, Ethan Hawke has chosen to take a page out of Matt Damon's book and avoid the spotlight as much as possible. He's working on a play right now called The Coast of Utopia. It's a nine-hour-trilogy set in 19th Century Russia. Not exactly the type of project that gets you on the cover of magazines. And that's exactly how Ethan wants it. Here's highlights from this Sunday's issue of PARADE magazine:
- On his looks:
“I’ve never wanted to be too hot, I don’t know how Brad Pitt does it.”
- On fame:
“To be honest, it was an undue pressure on my marriage. I didn’t like being famous when I was single, and what it did to my celebrity status to be married to another famous person was a huge pressure—one I didn’t enjoy. And it had nothing to do with her. Nothing to do with her."
- On Uma:
“She’s a great mother, and raising the kids is a priority for both of us. We’re so fortunate that we have each other’s back in that way. Because I write and act in theater, it’s a lot easier for me to stay in the city. But my ex-wife has done a phenomenal job of that as well. She plans all her movies to shoot in New York.”
- On NY:
Hawke says that New York City is a great place to be divorced. “We live down the street from each other. If we lived down the street from each other in Minneapolis, I’d have to watch every car go in and out of the driveway. I’d know how late she stayed out. I don’t have to know any of that stuff.”
Sounds like Ethan is doing just fine. We still love him from those Reality Bites days with Winona. Too bad that was over a decade ago. At least he's found happiness in the theater and as a writer - it's important for actors to have other interests and Ethan definitely has those.
Jamie Foxx stopped by TRL while making the rounds to promote Dreamgirls. We were lucky enough to catch a preview and it is a definite crowd pleaser. Jamie once again proves he is both a talented actor and musician. Jamie plays the Dreamgirls' ambitious manager, Curtis Taylor Jr. who helps catapult them to stardom. While we don't think this film is as good as Chicago, it's well worth watching this holiday season. For a more detailed review of Dreamgirls check out what Buzz has to say and then see for yourself when the films opens everywhere Christmas day.

We've loved Grey's from the beginning and it continues to keep us wanting more each week. Of course we aren't the only ones. It's already in its third season and is still a huge hit. No wonder the entire cast topped Entertainment Weekly's Top Entertainers of the Year list. It has had a huge cultural impact, says the magazine. "'Grey's' isn't just a show, it's a phenomenon," said EW's Lori Majewski. "Back in May when last season's final show aired, every place in New York City was empty. You could get a table at the best restaurants." So what makes the show a hit? Executive Producer Shonda Rhimes says it's the surprising story lines. There just doesn't seem to be anything they won't do. Here's more:
That fleeting Meredith-George liaison ''was shocking — even for me, personally,'' says Ellen Pompeo, 37....''I've been kissing Patrick since I met him, but I was like, No, that's my T! I can't make out with him!'' Adds Sandra Oh, 35, who plays tightly wound Dr. Yang, ''When we saw that for the first time at a table read, we were like, Nooooo!'' That's precisely the reaction creator/exec producer Shonda Rhimes, 36, was hoping for. ''When people say they hate what's happening, and then go on to describe in detail everything they hate, I know they're really paying attention and have strong feelings about the characters,'' she says. ''That's a good sign.''
Well, we don't hate a thing (except for reruns!). You guys just keep doing what you're doing and we'll always be back for more!
Gwyneth is still regretting the supposedly unpatriotic statements she made to a Portuguese newspaper. After admitting her comments were lost in translation due to her poor language skills, she is still worried the backlash against her will affect her brother's directorial debut film since audiences may boycott the film due to her statements. Life & Style reports:
“She’s just torn up about this,” says an insider.
The actress insists she was simply “speaking from the heart” when she spoke of her love for the English lifestyle.
“But when she went online and saw the reaction, she freaked out,” says the insider. “She called her press agent, who advised her to issue a statement that she’s proud to be an American.”
Now Gwyneth is just hoping the American public will forgive her.
Says the insider: “It would break her heart if Jake’s first major directing effort was torpedoed because she misspoke.”
In the past good movies usually win out over bad press. Hopefully people will accept Gwyneth's explanation and move on. For more pics just read more
Looks like Jennifer was all business the other day in LA. It almost reminds me of her days on Alias in this outfit. Perhaps it's because she doesn't look like her usual self. The all business Jen is very different from -- the T-shirt and jeans, mommy to Violet Jen -- that we have been used to seeing around town. While she recently said that she's in the worst shape ever, she's still confident enough with her body to take it all off - if need be. Here's more:
...And all the lingerie scenes in Alias?"I was in about half the lingerie that they wanted me to be in! Every now and then I'd get a script that would be like, 'Sydney's in a bikini,' and I'd be like, 'I can't! You have to give me notice. I have to have months to get ready. Don't make me do it.' Am I uncomfortable? It's as easy as this: If I feel like I'm in shape, if I feel secure about my body that day, then I don't really care. Otherwise it is incredibly painful." She thinks a bit more. "I'm okay with it. Definitely. I mean—yeah, I will definitely streak somewhere before I would get drunk."
Wow! We never would have guessed that one. Looks like Jennifer isn't all business and babies these days! For more pics just read more
