    Zooey Deschanel and Ben Gibbard Wed

    The happy couple

    The happy couple

    Death Cab for Cutie lead singer Ben Gibbard and actress/singer Zooey Deschanel got married over the weekend, her rep told People Magazine.  The couple, who had been engaged since last year, wed near Seattle.  That location definitely suits these two indie rockers.

    I’ve always liked these two and, over time, have been able to get over my crush on Deschanel and accept their inevitable wedding.  Besides, if she’s got marry somebody, I’m glad it’s Ben Gibbard.

    Congrats, you two!

    Harrison Ford Ready for “Indy 5″

    29lik9g Harrison Ford Ready for Indy 5

    That sound you hear is 1,000 angels crying as Harrison Ford informs us that Indiana Jones 5 is definitely in the works.

    The actor recently told French magazine Le Figaro, “The story for the new Indiana Jones is in the process of taking form…Steven Spielberg, George Lucas and myself are agreed on what the fifth adventure will concern, and George is actively at work. If the script is good, I’ll be very happy to put the costume on again.”

    Interesting that Ford doesn’t confirm if Spielberg’s directing.  Perhaps Steven Spielberg is just producing the next film and moving on to direct other films.  But maybe that’s wishful thinking.

    Shia LaBouef also confirmed the existence of another film earlier in the year, telling BBC that “Steven’s just said that he’s cracked the story.”

    Did you guys like the last Indy film?  Compared to the previous entries in the franchise, I thought it was sorely lacking.  That being said, I would see Spielberg direct anything. Oh, the life of a loyalist.

    Lisa Loeb, once the focus of all my love and affection, is now pregnant, People Magazine reports.  The singer and her husband, Roey Hershkovitz, are ecstatic to welcome their first child.

    Chris Brown DOES Remember Beating Rihanna

    Chris Brown meets Larry King

    Chris Brown meets Larry King

    Here comes the post-interview damage control.

    Clips from Chris Brown’s forthcoming Larry King interview showed the singer saying he “didn’t remember” beating his ex-girlfriend Rihanna.  Well, if he doesn’t remember it’s almost like he didn’t do it, right?

    His response caused quite a stir so Brown released this rather long statement to People:

    “There have been reports on the Internet that I didn’t remember what happened that night with Rihanna. I want to try and set things straight.

    “That 30 seconds of the interview they used of me was taken from a one hour interview during which that same question was asked something like four or five times – and when you look at the entire interview you will see it is not representative of what I said.

    “The first four times – or however many times it was – I gave the same answer – which was that I didn’t think it was appropriate for me to talk about what happened that night. I said it was not right for me and it really wasn’t fair to Rihanna. The fifth time – or whatever it was – I just misspoke. I was asked, ‘Do you remember doing it?’ and I said, ‘No.’

    Audrina Patridge leaving The Hills, sounds off on Heidi!

    Reality starlet Audrina Patridge is ready to ditch The Hills. “I’m graduating,” the wannabe actress told E!’s Marc Malkin, “I’m moving on. At times, I feel like I’m in high school, but I didn’t even go through this stuff in high school.”

    Audrina Patridge

    Patridge, who is currently promoting her new flick Sorority Row, has declined an offer from Playboy magazine to strip for its saucy pages. But Patridge claims “It’s not something I want to do right now.”

    And while Patridge is keeping mum on her new career plans, she is not so diplomatic about frenemy Heidi Montag’s Miss Universe performance.

    Said Patridge, “”I feel like Heidi, you know, she’s doing it for fun, where a lot of singers and people, they work their ass off, and they actually have amazing voices and they can really sing and perform, and I feel like a lot of people don’t get to experience what Heidi has, going on in front of a billion people and perform on TV. I just don’t think she’s taking it that serious, and that’s what’s kind of disappointing for me, for music lovers out there.”

    The Office star John Krasinski and The Devil Wears Prada hottie Emily Blunt are engaged.  John’s rep confirmed the rumor to People Magazine.

    Chris Brown and Rihanna Fought All The Time

    The UNhappy couple

    The UNhappy couple

    Apparently Chris Brown and Rihanna fought often, according to documents released yesterday.  The court documents reveal that the couple had gotten into quite a few tussles before the infamous February 8 pre-Grammy faceoff.

    In Europe three months before the Grammys, the pair really got into it in their hotel room.  Rihanna ended up slapping Chris.  Brown responded by shoving Rihanna into the wall.  No charges or police reports were filed.

    Three weeks before their big fight, the couple was in Barbados when things became heated in their rented Range Rover.  Brown ended up exiting the car and breaking two of its windows.  Again, no charges filed.

    The documents also reveal more about the February 8 argument, including what exactly went down in that car.  If anything, this just proves how dysfunctional Rihanna and Brown were.  It’s for the best that they’re no longer together.  And all it took was a judge for them to see that.

    Milla Jovovich Getting Married

    Sorry fellas, shes off the market!

    Sorry fellas, she's off the market!

    Actress Milla Jovovich and her fiance, director Paul Anderson, are finally tying the knot.  Tomorrow, in fact.  People Magazine reports that the couple will have a small, private ceremony down here in Los Angeles.  The couple have one daughter, Ever Gabo.  They have been together since 2002 and he has directed her in the Resident Evil films. Please, let’s not talk about those.

    Jovovich has been on record saying the wedding would be small and have a “California-Spanish feeling.” She’s also said her dress will be a “1960’s mini-dress.” Sounds like this wedding will be a lot of fun.  I wish I was invited!  I take back all the Resident Evil comments I made, guys. 

    For my wedding gift, I am going to give them both some advice that will serve them well: Stop making Resident Evil films.  Nothing against you two, just stop.  Please.  America thanks you.

    I kid, I kid! Please invite me to your wedding!

    Michael Lohan & Jon Gosselin: BFFs?

    Jon Gosselin and Michael Lohan - best friends forever

    Jon Gosselin and Michael Lohan - best friends forever

    What the heck is going on here?

    Just Jared has posted some more pictures of new friends Jon Gosselin and Michael Lohan hanging out together in the Hamptons.  Apparently, Michael is family friends with Jon’s new lady love, Kate Major, and offered the couple residency at his estate.  Looks like they’re getting along famously.  In fact, Lindsay’s dad gave his two cents on the the future of TLC’S stars, saying Jon wants to remain friends with his soon-to-be ex, Kate Gosselin.

    “They had eight kids and he would like to work things out the right way and just be friends,” Michael told People magazine.  As long as Jon doesn’t take any relationship advice from Michael, I think he’ll be fine.

    This might be the weirdest celebrity friendship in history.  I really hope something memorable comes from this pairing, like a television show or ill-fated album.
