Late-night comedian Craig Ferguson married his long-time girlfriend Megan Wallace Cunningham over the holidays.
Craig revealed his newly-married status on his Monday night show. He showed off his new wedding ring, and a wedding picture of himself (in a kilt) and his new wife.
Megan is an art dealer. The wedding was held at her family farm in Vermont. Congratulations to the happy couple!
Dancing With The Stars co-stars Karina Smirnoff and Maksim Chmerkovskiy are engaged to be married.
People reports that Maksim popped the question on New Year's Eve. The pair have only been dating for six months. They are currently wrapping up the DWTS winter tour.
Their reps would not comment on the engagement.
I'd love to see this couple's first dance together, wouldn't you?
Kelly Rutherford of the monstrously popular TV show Gossip Girl has filed for divorce from her husband, Daniel Girsch. They married in 2006.
Rutherford plays Lilly van Der Woodsen, who is Mom to Blake Lively's character on the show. In the divorce filing, she cited the reason for the split as "irreconcilable differences." She is currently pregnant with the couple's second child.
Fantasia Barrino, who won American Idol Season 3, returned to the show last night to perform her song "Bore Me."
I can't say enough about her showmanship - girl has energy and is a natural performer! And she looks better than ever! And I can't say how much more I like this song than that radio hit she put out after winning AI. *shudder*
But I'm left wondering yet again how she won in the first place. Cause she can't sing. Really, she can't. And sometimes putting on a great performance is enough, but I thought that AI was supposed to be about actual ability? I dunno. I'll say this though, I like her a whole lot more than I like either of the Davids, and one of them is going to win soon.

After all the hogging of the remote and shushing poor slave2celeb every time he made a peep, you'd think that I'd be making a more enthusiastic response to the return episode of Grey's Anatomy last night.
But no.
The contest thing was just silly, and it made all of them act their worst. Was that the point? I wanted to smack Izzie (poor Cheech!), but that's nothing new - I always want to smack Izzie. The whole thing made Christina look like a fawning suck-up, but that's also nothing new. As for the glitter sparkle pager prize.... no comment.
And what did I miss that Lexi and George moved in together into a hovel? I get that he doesn't want to live at Meredith's house (with Izzie) anymore, but why is Lexi not living at her dad's house?
Things I liked: Callie calling Christina out for being a fawning suck-up, and the growing relationship between Rose and Shepherd. And surprisingly, Meredith's reluctance to actually talk at the therapist's. That was very true to her character.
I'm giving them a pass for this episode because it was their first time out since the writer's strike. They were probably all rusty, having spent several weeks doing nothing but eating out, shopping and smoking *cough*Katherine Heigl*cough*. I expect them to be back on their game by the next episode!

I feel like I'm Amy Winehouse finding a crumb of crack on the floor after a long dry spell.... Grey's Anatomy is back with new episodes tonight!
After MONTHS without any new Grey's, the buzz surrounding its return is strong. We read that Shonda
is blabbing away about how Meredith (Ellen Pompeo) and Derek (Patrick Dempsey) are getting back together "for good."
As for George and Izzie (WORST. IDEA. EVER), "they're probably done as lovers." And Callie? Supposedly becomes BFFs with Erica Hahn, of all loathed people.
The story picks up after a six-week break, which makes sense. I appreciate them for acknowledging that time has passed (grumble grumble writers strike that I supported but that caused me to miss my show grumble grumble).
E! Online has sneak peeks from tonight's episode here, but I refuse to watch them and spoil it for myself.
I dunno about y'all, but come 9:00 pm I'm going to have my butt firmly planted on the couch, remote in hand, well out of reach from slave2celeb, so he can't try to change the channel during commercials and cause me to miss stuff.
Hooray for Grey's!

Curse you, Stephen Colbert! I nearly choked on my own spit last night during Colbert Platinum.
"The best part of waking up is drinking coffee pooped by a cat."
I'd like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude that the writers are back!

Last night, dozens of comedians and musicians got together to perform 'A Night of Too Many Stars' on Comedy Central. The two-hour, telethon style parody of a telethon - did you get all that - was put together as a benefit for autism education. Comedy Central frontman, Jon Stewart, was the MC. The list of notable appearances included Matthew Broderick, Tina Fey, Kelsey Grammer, Kevin James, Rosie O'Donnell and Adam Sandler.
The show started well with a chorus line of actors singing about how we "need stars" to do all sorts of charitable things - an obvious jab at their own egos - but sputtered repeatedly from there. From Kevin James - in Blue Man Group attire - doing a scene from 'King of Queens' with Jerry Stiller to Rosie O'Donald talking about a telephone conversation with someone who thought she was Jewish, these comedians just weren't very funny, even as parodies go.
Sarah Silverman sang 'Amazing Grace' from her mouth, ass, and vagina. Yeah, that might have been cute when I was in the 4th grade but its just lame coming from her now. A fake 'roast' of Adam Sandler involved a series of profanity laden tirades against the roasters that was bleeped so often that the entire audio was cut for several seconds at a time. Guys, when you hear the 'bleep' over a stragetically placed curse word being used for emphasis, it's funny. When the entire conversation is bleeped, it's just annoying. There were a couple of highlights. Tina Fey allowing a donor representative to cup her right breast - all weekend - for a $100,000 donation was novel and the Roots and Maroon 5 were good musical acts. Nevertheless, even though they weren't getting paid big bucks for this charity event, 'A-listers' should bring their 'A' game, and this show looked like something thrown together over the weekend.
The best part of the show was a standoff between Chris Rock and Stephen Wright doing each other's jokes. Rock's animated interpretation of Wright's old material sounded awful, while Wright wasn't much better trying to pull off Rock's jokes in his trademark deadpan style. It was actually funny to see how jokes crash and burn without the right delivery.
Again, I understand parody. The phone banks with big names taking donations in the background was similar to almost every Jerry Lewis telethon...ever. But where was the real comedy? The event did raise millions of dollars for autism education and that was the main point. Next time, though, maybe these big 'stars' could stop making so much fun of themselves and try putting on a great show. After all, that's how you raise money in show business, right?
Today we honor the adorable Ginnifer Goodwin. Setting aside the fact that I hate that she decided, at some point, to cutsey up her name by spelling it with a "G," I really like her.
We've only known this Southern girl from Memphis in Hollywood since 2001 when she landed her first TV role on Law & Order, but Ginnifer began acting at age five, in a stage production of "The Little Engine That Could." She appeared in Comedy Central's first original movie Porn 'n' Chicken in 2002.
The first time I noticed her was in Mona Lisa Smile, a movie that I dislike for so many reasons (*cough*Julia Roberts*cough*), but love for so many other reasons - Ginnifer being one of them. Styles, Gyllenhaal, Dunst and Goodwin all capture that 1950s women's college energy, but Ginnifer does a particularly good job of embodying it without seeming affected.
Right now, of course, she's busy starring in Big Love on HBO. Personally, I think her Margene is the most genuine of all the characters on that show. I find her the easiest to relate to, because she's REAL. Whether that's due to her talent or that of the scriptwriters is hard to say for sure. Surely there's a measure of both, but I'm leaning more in her favor than theirs.
Ginnifer is pictured here on Wednesday at a private screening of the animated short "Trembled Blossoms," at the Prada store in L.A. Her dress is simple but the geometric design makes it different, and I love her lipstick. I also adore the color of her clutch - so rich. Personally would have matched my purse to my lip color in this instance, but she's making it work well.
Keep an eye out for Ginnifer in Season 3 of Big Love, which will air this summer.
Was an interest in fashion a prerequisite for casting on 'The Hills' or is it just the Southern California stereotype showing? Whitney Port is following on the heels of her co-stars Heidi Montag and Lauren Conrad and throwing her hat in the fashion ring.
Whitney's line is called Eve & A - a "young contemporary" 17-piece collection of "party-ready" convertible dresses, tops and jackets that will wholesale for $40 to $250. Whitney is designing the clothing with the help of co-creative director Adrienne Baravetto, and is backed by her father Jeff Port, who owns apparel company Swarm.
Given that Whitney actually has a fashion pedigree, and apparently blew LC out of the water during their Teen Vogue internships, and that both LC and Heidi's lines are just eh (you can compare them here)... I'm agreeing with other bloggers who speculate that Whitney's going to win this 'Hills' fashion contest.
But the real burning question is: will Audrina Partridge jump on the bandwagon next?
