New Couple Alert: Nick Jonas and Selena Gomez?

celebmonkey — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 23:54:33 GMT

Nick Jonas recently spoke to Rolling Stone about how close he and Miley Cyrus once were, but there's a lot of speculation about just how close he is to Disney star Selena Gomez. A People magazine source says that Nick, 15, and Selena, 16, have been "dating for months." Evidence suggests that the pair are close. Gomez, who appears in the Jonas Brothers' video "Burnin Up," has been photographed skateboarding wearing an Elvis Costello T-shirt, an item which Jonas told PEOPLE was one of his favorite things. And, Gomez was seen dancing with all three of the Jonas Brothers at the Disney Channel Games in Orlando, Fla., in March. His rep denies it; hers did not return calls. What's the real story? Whatever it is, there's only so far this budding romance can go if both teens remain true to their vows of chastity until marriage. Photo Source 1, 2

Balthazar and Rosetta Getty: Fini!

celebmonkey — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 19:52:19 GMT

We knew this was coming as soon as Sienna Miller started sniffing around him - Balthazar Getty has announced that he and his wife Rosetta have split. 'The breakdown of a marriage is a very difficult and painful experience especially when children are involved. In light of the fact that many pictures have surfaced in print and on the internet which has caused myself and my family great embarrassment, I felt it necessary to at least acknowledge publicly that, yes indeed, my wife and I have separated and I will not be commenting any further.' He sounds a bit surprised, doesn't he? Like he didn't think that snogging a topless chick had the potential to ruin his marriage. Photo Source

Lindsay And Sam Party In The Hamptons

celebmonkey — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 22:32:54 GMT

Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson are still going strong and evidently having fun! They spent the weekend in the Hamptons for a Saturday party at the Lily Pond club. 'Twas a business trip for Sam, who was spinning (or more likely, programmed playlists). Lindsay hung out with friends including Nicky Hilton and Sam's sister designer Charlotte Ronson. I still think these two are adorable. Lilo sure seems in with Sam's family! And she never looked this happy with Riley Giles or Calum Best. Photo Source

Despite their breakup, Carey Hart and Pink are still close. "We talk all the time and try to stay connected as much as possible," Hart told PEOPLE at the opening of his new Las Vegas club, Wasted Space, in the Hard Rock Hotel. "It's a tough situation to be in but I love her to death." Hart sounds like he's really not done with this relationship, especially with this comment: "I miss everything about her," he says. Awww..... poor guy. Photo Source

Kelly Osbourne Is Dating A Model

celebmonkey — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 08:22:07 GMT

Kelly Osbourne has been out and about with a new man. She and model Luke Worrall have been seeing each other for about a month now. He looks like exactly the kind of emo heroin-chic guy you would expect to see her with. (She, on the other hand, looks nothing like herself whatsoever. She's lost a lot of weight, it appears, but this haircut is not flattering on her either.) Kels seems serious about this guy. "Would I marry him? Yes...But I'm still really young... so we'll have to wait and see." Worrall was named #13 on Models.com's list of Top 50 Male Models. Photo Source

Kate Middleton Is Practically A Royal Now

celebmonkey — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 06:53:16 GMT

Prince William's longtime girlfriend, Kate Middleton, has attended her second royal wedding of the year, and at least one British paper is saying that this "confirms her position in royal circles." Lady Rose Windsor - a cousin of Queen Elizabeth, great-granddaughter of George V and 23rd in line to the throne - married George Gilman in London. She is the youngest child of the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester. The Prince did not attend, as he is currently serving in the Navy in the Caribbean. These minor royal weddings are nice and all, but when are we going to have a BIG one?? William is back from this tour in August, so maybe he'll finally propose? I wonder what's taking him so long? Kate is obviously already viewed as part of the family. Photo Source

Now We Know Why Michael Buble And Emily Blunt Broke Up

celebmonkey — Sun, 20 Jul 2008 08:40:52 GMT

Michael Buble and Emily Blunt announced their breakup last week. His rep said: "Sadly, after three years, they have parted ways. They are both extraordinary people with huge talent. Let's wish them well." What his rep forgot to say was that we would be wishing Buble well in his new relationship with Heather Fogarty. Pictures of the two in Vancouver have surfaced online, and there's no mistaking they are together. I mean, unless they are "not together" the way Rihanna and Chris Brown are "not together." Fogarty is a "Boston native that sings and plays keyboards for indie group “On The Surface,” an LA-based band with a solid Myspace following." Photo Source

Billy Crudup Still Upsets His Ex Mary-Louise Parker

celebmonkey — Sun, 20 Jul 2008 07:38:33 GMT

Billy Crudup and Mary-Louise Parker have been split up since 2003. You might recall that he left her, knocked up with his child, for Claire Danes of all people. (That's definitely a downgrade as far as I'm concerned, but this story isn't about that.) If E! Online's spies are to be believed, Parker may still have some unresolved feelings. When he showed up at a CBS party with his date Parker was visibly upset in the back corner of a cabana, as she talked with co-star Justin Kirk. She ultimately wobbled out of the party with her hair mostly hiding her face and her hands on a companion's shoulders to steady her. Um, that sounds more drunk than upset to me, or maybe Parker was sampling a bit of her Weeds character's product? But who was Crudup with that upset Parker so much? None other than Elizabeth Reaser. If you are currently wondering who the heck Elizabeth Reaser is, you're in good company - namely me. She's Crazy Eva from Grey's Anatomy! I watch that show religiously and I didn't know Eva's real life name; I can't say that I've ever paid that much attention to the credits. Reaser is starring in CBS' new show The Ex List this fall. I guess that probably means we won't see her anymore on Grey's. Not that the season finale left much hope of that, but until she went bonkers, I liked her a lot. Not crazy, she's certainly better for Alex Karev than Izzie Stevens or that little nurse. Whoops, now I'm on a Grey's tangent... can you tell I'm in withdrawal? Photo Source

Jimmy Kimmel: "I've Lost My Best Friend"

celebmonkey — Fri, 18 Jul 2008 05:24:54 GMT

Though Jimmy Kimmel and Sarah Silverman are still publicly mum about their breakup, Howard Stern (of all people) says he has more information. The shock jock revealed on his radio show that he was supposed to vacation with the two this week, but they never showed. "Jimmy e-mailed me and said they were going through some tough times," Stern said. "I was so upset I had to go take a walk." Kimmel told Stern the split was "mutual," adding that he felt like he had "lost his best friend." Augh! You all know I don't usually get too gushy about celebs but I find this split truly heartbreaking. And I swear if it's a stunt for Emmys attention (congratulations, Sarah!) I'll turn them both over my knee and spank them! Photo Source

Are Miranda Kerr and Orlando Bloom Through?

celebmonkey — Thu, 17 Jul 2008 19:26:06 GMT

If the rumors are true, Miranda Kerr has been stepping out on sweetie Orlando Bloom. She's reportedly trying to re-stoke the old fires with her ex, oil heir Brandon Davis. [We now pause for a Celebmonkey public service announcement: Um, eeew.] OK, now that I got that out of my system... In Touch Weekly claimed Kerr and Davis were spotted canoodling at two clubs in N.Y.C. on Saturday, July 12. An eyewitness said to have seen them were "full on making out". Later that night, they were seen kissing at Beatrice Inn and claimed "didn't seem to care who saw." To make matter [sic] worse, the catwalk queen reportedly was overheard telling Davis she's broken up with Bloom. "Miranda always seems to go to Brandon when she has a fight with Orlando," an insider stated. "He's her rebound guy." A representative for Kerr denied the split report though. Need more evidence? Davis has supposedly broken up with his girlfriend Cheyenne Tozzi. Brandon Davis is nasty! How does he keep landing these models? He's not even rich anymore, is he? Photo Source

Mena Suvari got a nice surprise on her Jamaican vacation with boyfriend Simone Sestito. He popped the question! The pair met last year at the Toronto International Film Festival. He is a music producer and concert promoter. She will next be seen in a made-for-TV movie on Lifetime (oh, Mena - really?) and in an adaptation of Ernest Hemingway's Garden of Eden later this year. When's the wedding? They might not even know yet. "They're taking their time planning the wedding," says a source close to the actress. "They are in no rush." Awww, he's so cute! And they look very happy together. Congratulations to Mena and Simone! Photo Source

celebmonkey — Mon, 14 Jul 2008 23:13:21 GMT

Whaaaaaa??? No!! Jimmy Kimmel and Sarah Silverman are (were??) one of my favorite celebrity couples and now they're through, say their reps.

She just told People a few months ago how good their relationship was. Did the joking videos go too far? Was Jimmy really doing Ben Affleck? This totally sucks. Photo Source

Tom Cruise Can Still Make Katie Blush

celebmonkey — Mon, 14 Jul 2008 22:58:27 GMT

While these two sort of creep me out, this story is pretty cute. Katie Holmes says that Tom Cruise can still make her blush! “I love it when Tom tells me I look great. It gives me such confidence," she tells Hello. "Sometimes it makes me blush but it also gives me attitude. Every woman likes to be told she looks beautiful.” Well, that's true. And why shouldn't he tell her she's beautiful? She is completely stunning! I mean, I'd take the compliment - even if was coming from a complete wackadoo! Photo Source

The Bachelorette's Engagement Ring

celebmonkey — Fri, 11 Jul 2008 22:27:37 GMT

Slightly belated congratulations to The Bachelorette's DeAnna Pappas and her chosen one Jesse Csincsak, who are engaged to be married in a little less than a year. The ring that Csincsak used to propose is a 2.5 carat stunner by Tacori. It's a princess cut center stone and princess-cut channel set diamonds arching along the Platinum profile...pave-set diamonds accent the reverse crescent silhouette details. (You know, at first blush, MY engagement ring looks a bit like hers... only not so big... or designer.... or blingy....) Reality TV fans may recall Pappas from The Bachelor - she was one of the final two girls in Season 11, both of whom were rejected by Brad Womack. Womack broke her heart, but hopefully her new man can do better. Then again, the track record of reality show couples is very poor, but that's not really surprising now, is it? Photo Source
