Crystal Harris Talks Hugh Hefner Engagement, Ring, Wedding

I hope it fits.
With these words, Hugh Hefner gifted Crystal Harris with a ring on New Year's Eve and watched as the 24-year old Playmate said yes through tears of joy.
The busty blonde tells E! News she and Hef had discussed marriage at length, so "nothing's changed" now that the engagement is official. As for that three-karat-plus rock? She helped pick it out.

Harris also says the wedding will be small and intimate (just "close friends and family"), will take place at the Mansion and probably be held in the summer.

Will the couple have children?

"I've never really been the wanting children type," she says. "I just have a bunch of different projects I'm working on and that's fun for me so that's what I'm going to do."

Crystal adds that she and Hefner have the blessings of Bridget Marquardt, Kendra Wilkinson and Holly Madison. What about her family?

"Both my parents are super supportive of everything and whatever makes Hef and I happy makes them happy. I couldn't be happier."

Why Camille Grammer Wants $50 Million

This just in: Kelsey and Camille Grammer won't be getting back together.
With the actor engaged to Kayte Walsh and the Real Housewife having lost so much respect for her ex, why haven't these two officially filed for divorce yet? Two words: money and revenge.

Is Camille Grammer America's Most Hated Housewife? Vote HERE!

The New York Post reports that Kelsey offered Camille about one-third of his fortune last week. But the latter didn't accept $30 million as a settlement because the amount did not include alimony or child support.

Oh, and because she wants to make her soon-to-be-ex suffer for his recent behavior.

According to California law, Camille is entitled to half of what Kelsey earned during the pair's marriage. This amounts to approximately $50 million. She's intent on collecting every penny, a friend says, because:

"She has accepted their marriage is over and that he wants to marry Kayte in January.. but what she can't accept is how he's parading around Kayte, who looks like the cat who swallowed the canary. Their public make-out sessions are really insensitive because of their kids."

Jon Gosselin Tries, Fails to Stop Kate Plus 8 Australian Adventure

Jon Gosselin really doesn't want his kids on TV anymore.
Some have questioned his motives, but he seems intent on living a normal life these days and for his eight offspring to experience the same thing.
That said, he went to court to stop Kate Gosselin from dragging them to Australia, but was denied by a judge because the excursion is work related.

Once again, Jon and Kate don't see eye to eye.

The same judge allowed Kate Gosselin to film her spin-off reality TV show, Kate Plus 8, on TLC in the first place, despite vehement objections by Jon.
“This was yet another slap in the face for Jon because he did not want the kids to go to Australia," a source close to Jon Gosselin told Radar Online.
“But the judge ruled that because it was for work it was okay. Jon had plans with the kids. Now he won't see them until they return in mid-January."
"He was scheduled to have them this weekend, but there was nothing he could do as the decision was taken out of his hands by the judge."
“Kate told Jon about the trip, and when he did not agree it was decided that the judge should intervene and the ruling went in her favor."
“He is trying to put a brave face on and has explained the situation to his own family and friends, but this is a big disappointment for him."
“But if nothing else, they all respect him for trying to stand up to Kate and for fighting for what he thinks is right for his kids as well.”
Fresh off goin' camping with Sarah Palin in Alaska, Kate flew to Australia with her eight kids, plus body guard Steve Nield, on Tuesday.
The Gosselin crew will also visit New Zealand, and during the excursion they will shoot tons of footage for future episodes of Kate Plus 8.
As for Jon's plans tonight?
“It is most likely that he will be staying in Pennsylvania to be with his girlfriend Ellen Ross plus family and friends as they ring in 2011."
Sounds normal at least.

John Mellencamp Splits from Wife of 18 Years

The marriage of rocker John Mellencamp and wife Elaine has come to an end.
A spokesman for the couple of nearly two decades says the two are "calling it a day," adding:
"John and Elaine Mellencamp are proud of their 20 years together and are very happy with their accomplishments both as parents and as a family."

John and Elaine have two sons. Both will remain in Indiana to raise the children, while it's safe to assume John's "Pink Houses" will remain in our heads forever. Thanks a lot, Ford!

Brooke Mueller and Dave Navarro: New Couple Alert!

Let's hope Charlie Sheen isn't reading this post. It might be enough to drive him to drink!
On Wednesday night, the actor's ex-wife didn't merely dine with Jane Addiction's frontman Dave Navarro, she was spotted swapping significant spit with the former Carmen Electra lover!

As first reported by TMZ, witnesses spotted Navarro and Brooke Mueller at Nobu. When the former went outside to smoke, he was soon joined by the latter - and a "full on make out" commenced, sources confirm.

The two came back inside, gathered their belongings and left together. We're guessing a full on more-than-make-out session followed from there.

Billy Ray and Tish Cyrus: Reconciliation Ahead?

It looks like Miley Cyrus might receive the best holiday gift of all: a loving family.
Witnesses spied the singer's parents at lunch together in Nashville on Wednesday, as sources tell Star Magazine Billy Ray and Tish Cyrus - who filed for divorce on October 26 - were smiling when they walked out of P.F. Chang's.

“Billy Ray and Tish have been spending a lot of time together because of the kids," an insider claims. "Just after the split, they were screaming mad at each other. But now they’ve mellowed and are reaching an understanding."

Without the final divorce papers signed - and with "Miley pushing them to reconsider," according to this source - might there be hope for this marriage after all? We'll keep you informed.

Happy Birthday, Elin Nordegren!

Elin Nordegren, perhaps the world's richest, most eligible single-mom divorcee, turns 31 years old on this first day of the new year. Happy birthday!
Tiger Woods may be the greatest golfer ever, but Elin delivered the most lucrative shot in history with one swing of the 9-iron. Now she's moved on.
If Tiger had any brains, he wouldn't have pawed Devon James, Jaimee Grubbs and their ilk. Was it worth it, man? Nine figures later, probably not.
If you have any brains, you'll click to enlarge this gallery of Elin Nordegren pictures we put together ... and give her a ring if you're a single guy:

Did you make any New Year's resolutions this year? How about ones you plan on keeping for more than 48 hours? If so, best of luck with that.

All 4 Her: Michael Lohan Hires Singer to Pen Song Dedicated to Lindsay

Sometimes, you pick up the phone and call your daughter. Sometimes, you need to hire one of the former members of All 4 One to pen a song for her.
Michael Lohan has commissioned Delious Kennedy, one of the members of the R&B ensemble to write and perform a track dedicated to Lindsay Lohan.
The song will be a companion piece of sorts to Lindsay's 2005 track "Confessions of a Broken Heart (Daughter to Father)." Remember when she sang?

Michael's looking to start 2011 on a good note.

"It's about a talented, beautiful young lady who grows in our hearts. She is badgered by paparazzi, cut down by the media ... She will wilt, but when she falls, I will always be there to pick her up and put her pedals back on," says MiLo.
Poignant, are we wrong?
Entitled "My Rose," the song is a dance/club track with a vibe like Usher or Lady Gaga. Kennedy recorded the song last week, and MiLo just "loved it."
The chorus goes something like this: "The girl is like a rose garden. She falls back, springs forth and grows stronger with thorns." Deep, moving stuff.

Michael Jackson: Too Weak to Perform For Years?

As we reported earlier, Dr. Conrad Murray is likely to argue at trial on involuntary manslaughter charges that Michael Jackson killed himself.
Now, in addition to MJ accidentally delivering his own coup de grace in the form of a lethal Propofol dose, comes a second component to the theory.
Jackson's weakened state during various tours throughout life - including the 2009 London concerts that never took place - will be a focal point.

THIS WAS IT: Jackson never made it on tour in 2009.

There's "compelling evidence" MJ was in poor health whenever he went on tour, sources say, dating back to his Bad and Dangerous albums decades ago.
Jackson was frequently "dehydrated, medicated, and sleep-deprived" and like with Dr. Conrad Murray, had a doctor who accompanied him on the road.
The gist is that grueling concert schedules took a huge toll, leaving him prone to and demanding drugs to sleep, long before Murray was in the picture.
The "This Is It" London tour was especially grueling, because AEG added dozens of concert dates for Michael, who was weaker than ever by last year.
Not only that, the perfectionist was terrified he would fail to live up to expectations and pushed himself even harder to overcompensate for that fear.
This dovetails into the defense theory that MJ was over-medicated and reduced to a shell of his former self after years spent under enormous pressure.
By the time last spring rolled around, he couldn't sleep he relied on Propofol to do the trick, and became increasingly frustrated when it did not work.
The defense believes that when Dr. Murray walked out of the room June 25 and Jackson woke up, he accidentally infused himself with the fatal dose.
What do you think? Is there any chance that's true? Is that enough for reasonable doubt, or should Murray pay the price regardless?
