Patrick Dempsey and Michelle Monaghan looked adorably casual for TRL yesterday then cleaned up quite nicely for the premiere of Made of Honor in NYC.

The ceremony was officiated by Entertainment Tonight's Mary Hart and included a Honeymoon in Paris and dance lessons. Patrick commented, "I'm sure the couple's going to remember this for the rest of their lives."

Ashlee and Some Handsome Men Are Hot Travelers

Molly — Fri, 18 Apr 2008 05:04:00 -0700

Straight-faced was the word - other than Ashlee Simpson (best PR week EVER!) - at last night's Conde Nast Traveler 8th Annual Hot List party in NYC. Pete wasn't by her side, but of course Ash wore a loose LBD for the soirée, wouldn't want to stop the chatter after all. Cutie Damien Fahey and a stern Milo Ventimiglia were also solo for the red carpet while Adrien Brody (love him) had his hot little girlfriend Elsa Pataky cozied up next to him. Ashlee isn't ready to ~~put the story to rest~~ publicly admit the pregnancy (or not, whatever), but she's certainly not shy with that new ring of hers.

Should Rosie Check Out Early?

PopSugar — Fri, 25 May 2007 11:10:25 -0700

We're sure most of you have heard by now about the ugly feud that took place the other day between Rosie and Elisabeth on The View. It went from terrorism talk to Rosie's "sad" blogging to the latest rumors of Rosie's writers defacing pictures of Elisabeth. Obviously, there's still a lot of tension between the two, but Rosie is only signed on for three more weeks on the show. What do you think - should Rosie check out of The View early?
