9+6=13!?

Can you believe this is the last week of 2010!?

I cant.

Seriously people, there is no way it's already 2011!  I remember going to a neighbors party for the big Y2K like it was yesterday!  I guess time flies when you're growing up.  One thing that we can always count on, no matter what year it is...celebrity gossip.  And that's where I come in, as usual.  So here's what has been happenin' around Hollywood for the past 13 days (since I last blogged):

Warning: So many engagement/baby announcements ahead...

• Reese Witherspoon is engaged to beau Jim Toth
• LeAnn Rimes is officially engaged to Eddie Cibrian...and already shooting down pregnancy rumors
• Liam's just as attractive older brother, Chris Hemsworth, is off the market.  He married Spanish actress Elsa Pataky
• Natalie Portman is engaged to Black Swan choreographer Benjamin Millipied...and pregnant!  Busy, busy.
• Hugh Hefner is engaged to Playmate Crystal Harris
• After a rough year, including a miscarriage, Lily Allen is engaged to Sam Cooper
• Elton John and husband David Furnish welcomed a baby boy on Christmas day via surrogate
• Teen Mom (my favorite guilty pleasure) star Amber Portwood was jailed after being charged with three felonies, including two counts of domestic battery and one count of neglect of a dependent
• Alanis Morissette and husband welcomed a baby boy, Ever Imre Morissette-Treadway, on Christmas.  That same day Dierks Bentley and his wife welcomed a baby girl, Jordan Catherine Bentley.
• New couple alert: newly single (well, not anymore) Rachel Weisz and Daniel Craig
• Ginnifer Goodwin is engaged to boyfriend Joey Kern
• Landon Donovan was not so lucky in love, filing for divorce with wife of four years, Rules of Engagement star Bianca Kajlich
• Shania Twain is engaged to Frederic Thiebaud
• One of my favorite Friends, David Schwimmer, is expecting a baby with his wife, Zoe Buckman
• Ali Larter gave birth on December 20 to a son, Theodore Hayes
• Bret Michaels is finally engaged to girlfriend of 16 years, Kristi Gibson
• Vince Vaughn's wife, Kyla Weber, had a baby girl, Locklyn Kyla Vaughn, on December 18
• Tony Romo is engaged to Chace Crawford's sister and former beauty queen, Candice Crawford
• Zac Hanson's wife had their baby, a girl named Junia Rosa Ruth, on December 15.  Yep.  Baby Hanson had a baby.  Weird.

Welp, I warned you.  9 engagements in 13 days.  And 6 babies.  What can I say, everything is bigger and better around the holidays!

Congratulations to all the betrothed couples and new mommy and daddies!  Maybe we'll do a "whose engagement ring makes me want to faint more" contest soon.  There's some really great bling floatin' around these days!

Happy Tuesday!

BIG NEWS PEOPLE.

Hey TPAMPers!  Did I get your attention with that really obnoxiously dramatic title!?

Good.

That was the goal.

To be honest, I have absolutely no idea why I haven't blogged in weeks.  Am I still checking People.com and Eonline.com as soon as I wake up?  Yes.  Am I still the first to break celeb news to my friends?  Yep.  So I have no idea what the dealio with me is.  Perhaps it was school.  Sometimes they make you write these annoying things called papers and it just kind of takes all the fun out of writing.  But I'm back!!  Oh and do I have news for y'all...like always.

First and most importantly, my husband is back on the market.

I've been waiting a solid 4 years for this moment.  And while I'm sad that another young Hollywood couple called it quits, I'm not going to lie, I'm ecstatic.

Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens are no more.

Zac, feel free to give me a ring...diamond or on the telephone.

Now if I wrote a paragraph about all the big news that has happened in the past few weeks, this post would be as long as those nasty 10 page papers professors love to assign.  So here we go, fast news!

• Grammy Nominations: Our leaders are Eminem (10), Bruno Mars (7), Lady Gaga (6), and Lady Antebellum (6).  Tune into CBS on February 13 for the winners!  Or just check out TPAMP!
• Reese Witherspoon got a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.  I'm always surprised when a huge star is just getting a star, seems like she would have already had one!
• Fergie's hubby Josh Duhamel infamously got kicked off an airplane for texting after the fun little "Please turn off all unapproved electronics at this time" announcement.  Don't worry, he apologized.
• Prince Charles and Kate Middleton released their freakishly adorable engagement pictures.  If you need to see it it's been my Facebook profile picture for about a week now.  What!?  Sometimes I like to pretend I'm Kate.
• Elizabeth Edwards died after her six-year battle with breast cancer.
• In case you blinked, Kim Kardashian and Gabriel Aubry split up.  But never fear, she's back to athletes.  She's now with basketballer Kris Humphries.
• Katy Perry is officially changing her name to Katy Brand, which is great right!?  Right...?
• In case you have been living under a rock, Disney princess Miley Cyrus inadvertently relinquished her throne by posting a video of her taking a bong hit with her friends.  No, no, don't worry, it was just Salvia.
• Sexiest Couple Alive Ryan Reynolds and Scarlett Johansson are separated.  I knew that was too much goodness in one couple.
• Big wedding weekend last weekend with the much anticipated wedding of Nicole Richie and Joel Madden along with Yankee star Nick Swisher and Joanna Garcia.
• Mariah Carey is not only expecting but she's apparently having twins!  Whoa.  Game changer.

I feel so much better!  Home for Christmas break for a couple weeks so posts will be much more frequent.  I promise some pictures of real Minnesota snow from my visit to my sister's house for all you sunny LA Christmas'ers :)
