As Michele reported, on-again, off-again couple Eva Longoria and Tony Parker is engaged. They split in September, but quickly reconciled.

I don’t watch “The View”, but apparently Danny DeVito was drunk and slurring his words when he showed up this week to promote his latest film “Deck the Halls.” However, Barbara Walters insists that Danny is welcome back anytime.

Singer Celine Dion has a highly contagious respiratory infection and has been forced to cancel five performances of her Caesars Palace show “A New Day.” Diagnosed with mycoplasma bronchitis, Celine has been ordered to rest through Sunday, after which she will be taking a holiday break until Dec. 28.
7. Pam and Kid Rock File for Divorce
I don’t even know what to say about this. It seemed like they weren’t even through with all their wedding ceremonies they wanted to have before they filed for divorce.
6. David Blaine Escapes Shackles
Magician David Blaine has escaped shackles in New York while four stories over Times Square. But, this stunt had a great ending – it means that 100 lucky children, selected by the Salvation Army, will receive $500 gift certificates from Target for Christmas.
5. Hilary Duff and Joel Madden Split
After two and a half years of dating (which began when she was still underage), Hilary Duff and her Good Charlotte beau Joel Madden has split. Rumors are that Joel said it was the couple’s age differences that cause problems (he’s 27, she’s 19).
4. Baldwin Praises Basinger
Wow, never thought this would happen with all the nasty custody fights these two have had, but Alec Baldwin told Larry King that Kim Basinger was “a lot of fun to be with,” “she is a great great person,” and “she’s a great mother, yes, good mom.” Could it be Alec is mellowing in his old age?
3. Engagement/Wedding Rumors
Ah, what would a week in Hollywood be without rumors of stars becoming engaged or getting married? This week, there is talk that Heath Ledger and Michelle Williams are getting ready to wed (they won’t confirm the rumor) and that Owen Wilson was looking for a pear-shaped diamond engagement ring for Kate Hudson (his rep says the two were shopping for Wilson’s mom).
2. Spears and Hilton Party Together
In a BFF train wreck made in Heaven, this match up was bound to happen. Britney was seen this week partying with Paris. Just when I thought she was getting her act together…sigh…
1. Matt Lauer and Wife Welcome Baby #3
After reports of a separation, I hope Matt and his wife Annette are back on the right track after she gave birth to their third child last week. The baby boy’s name, Thijs, is pronounced ‘Tice’ and is short for the Dutch name Matthijs.
