Portman, 27, began dating Banhart, also 27, after starring in his "Carmensita" video, which was shot last March. A short time later, they took their romance public when they were spotting kissing on the streets of New York and over a sushi dinner at Jewel Bako.

A fan of Banhart's music, Portman had asked him to donate a track to the charity compilation she curated on iTunes, Big Change: Songs for FINCA. She returned the favor by forgoing her usual fee to appear in the video.

"They got together right after the video shoot," a source said at the time.

Kendra is absolutely engaged to Hank Baskett. She has to deny it publicly for the sake of the show but in reality Hef knows and is fine with it.

The sixth season will be the last for Girls Next Door. Hef has made the decision to end the show and his relationship with Kendra and Bridgett. Season 5 will be the last with the three original girlfriends. Season 6 will focus on finding replacements, maybe two, maybe three.

The search is already underway. Two new girls, one 19 and one 22, were at the Playboy mansion this past weekend as possible replacements. They are not current Playboy or professional models, both have regular jobs.

Miss October 2008 Kelly Carrington may be on the short list to become one of the new girlfriends. Rumor has it 2008 Playmate of the Year Jade Nicole recently turned down an offer from Hugh Hefner to be his newest (non blonde) girlfriend… The reason: Brody Jenner!!

Bridgett really has not had sex in three years. She is dating someone but they have not slept together.

Hef is with Holly, Holly is with Hef. For now. He can't marry her but they have tried to have kids, so far unsuccessfully.

She is not sleeping with Criss Angel. She does like spending time with Criss, but she also like spending time with Dave LaChapelle and other flamboyant gay guys.

Here's a video interview with Hef and his girls talking about the rumors

I'm guessing he suggested it?

Miley Cyrus and her underwear dude (aka Justin Gaston, not pictured) have enjoyed a series of wholesome outings, including the mall, Universal CityWalk�"with mom Tish in tow�"and even church.

But last night, the two shared a slightly more risqué evening together when they saw the Pussycat Dolls perform at Hollywood and Highland.

AGREED!!!! But that's the appeal, Charlize. It's like a bad accident you can't turn away from even though you wanna.

Oscar-winning actress Charlize Theron has seen The Hills and she doesn't understand why it's so popular.

"I realized that this f---ing show is huge. Now I'm going to ask you a question: Why Why is it so big? It's about nothing! This is a free country. Freedom of speech! You can tell me right now to my face that Reindeer Games was a piece of sh--. That's totally fine.

"But The Hills is about nothing. I think the girls are beautiful and when they cry their mascara runs and that's real, but I don't get it! [Pause.] I am a nana. I'll just take it. I am a nana. Maybe I need to watch the shows some more."

In March, Theron was bewildered when asked by MTV about The Hills.

"I do not know what The Hills are," she responded at the time. "Oh, now you're going to make me look like the old fart. God, you're a mother----er! Unbelievable! You're supposed to make me look like the cool movie star! Come on! Get with it! What is The Hills?"

Don't worry Charlize, the show will be over before you know it and your talent and sexy ass will be around for decades to come while these D-list talentless sluts fade into oblivion.

David Blaine lives to pretend to almost kill himself another day.

The 35-year-old illusionist/stuntmeister/attention-junkie has survived his latest feat of fortitude, a 44-foot "jump" after hanging 50 feet above the skating rink in New York City's Central Park, upside down, for 60 hours.

The mystery, supposedly, was whether Blaine's head would pop off, his lungs would explode or some other dastardly fate would befall him (pardon the pun) after spending all that time inverted, which in and of itself could cause breathing trouble, blindness, a stroke and a host of other organ difficulties, according to a vascular surgeon at the scene.

But not only did Blaine look pretty damn good, albeit a little bleary eyed, once he was turned upright, he evaded sharp scrutiny altogether. When it came time to "dive," he sort of fluttered down to Earth before the hoister of his harness whisked him away.

He kinda cheated. Dave's rep said the following,

"About once an hour he has to come down for a medical check, to stretch, and to relieve himself, because even David Blaine can't do that upside down. He has said all along that there will be times when he must get his head above his heart. The doctors told him if he doesn't do that, he will die."

That doesn't sound so badass to me!

E!

"My father obviously needs to be on medication to control his moods. He is out of line and his words show how much anger he has, and it's dangerous and scary as it reminds me of how he treated my mother and I my whole childhood. He needs to be stopped. This is yet another reason why we aren't speaking.

"I am in a great place in life," Lindsay continued. "I have overcome a lot and have been able to learn how to enjoy and appreciate my life in every way possible. I'm proud of myself for being able to make a change in the past year and a half.

"My past is behind me, and that's final. There's nothing more to be said. All the false accusations that people try to make are simply because there's no story when things are calm and good.

"But they might as well let it go because their lies don't affect me anymore. Samantha is not evil, I care for her very much and she's a wonderful girl. "She loves me, as I do her."

I hope Lindsay's response won't make her dad rush to a computer to email another attack. The man belongs behind bars.

The actress was born to a mother who was sentenced to 10 years in prison for smuggling marijuana.

Her mom Connie was pregnant with Leighton when she entered federal prison in Texas. At 29, she gave birth while she was just beginning her sentence following a conviction for her involvement with a drug ring that smuggled 1,200-pound shipments of marijuana into the United States from Jamaica.

Meester's rough start gives her perspective today.

"It makes me very nonjudgmental and open-minded," the 22-year-old tells Us. "And I think it just makes me appreciate the things that I have now."

Gossip Girl director Michael Fields tells Us: "She's talked about it a little bit. She's not a person who is trying to hide it."

Now, Meester and her mom - who was released in 1986 after serving only 16 months - have a solid relationship.

"She's always there for me no matter what," Meester tells Us. "I swear, that woman knows everything."

I love her "Bad" ring. It's so dumb, I'm into it. :)

Drew Barrymore attended the Kings of Leon concert in NYC Saturday night when she became a cougar, shoving her tongue down 21-year-old Gossip Girl star Ed Westwick's throat.

After the concert, Barrymore, 33, and Westwick, 21, took their PDA to Bowery Electric. It is the second time in a week that Barrymore and Westwick locked lips.

They were spotted chatting this past weekend at a Saturday Night Live after-party, which The Kings of Leon also played. They then headed to NYC's hip Fat Cat Billiards, where they stayed until 6 a.m., shooting pool with Gossip Girl cast members (including Crawford), actress Ellen Page and Emile Hirsch.

"Drew was hanging all over Ed!" denying more reports that she had also smooched Crawford. "They were full-on making out!" Adds the witness, "They were definitely all over each other. It was on!"

I dunno what I care about more - Drew and Ed making out or Ellen Page partying with the Gossip Girl cast? I love that closet lezzie. Anywho, Drew is like forever 15 years old and I love her for it. Get it, gurl.
