The Girls Next Door star Kendra Wilkinson is now a married woman. Kendra married her fiancé, professional football player, Hank Baskett on June 27 at the Playboy mansion. Among the 500 guests that attended the wedding were Kendra's former co-stars Holly Madison and Bridget Marquardt as well as her ex-boyfriend Hugh Hefner. Kendra was decked out diamonds for her wedding as she wore more than $100,000 worth of jewelry on the big day. She donned a pair of 4.25-carat platinum drop earrings, a 2.5-carat platinum pendant, and a 4.5-carat bracelet. Holly said that Kendra looked like a "princess" and was "absolutely beautiful." Hank and Kendra were engaged last fall after he proposed to her at the top of the Space Needle in Seattle. The couple also announced earlier this month that they are expecting a baby together on Christmas day.

Hunky actor Bradley Cooper is denying that he has a romantic relationship with Jennifer Aniston. The two were seen enjoying dinner together and flirting at a party, but Cooper, who starred in the movie The Hangover, says, "she's a friend of mine. Simply, simply, just a friend." He added, "She's someone who is super, super known. Famous. If someone says 'hello' to her, it's given that he's fallen in love with her. So, no. No. She's a very, very interesting woman, but she's simply a friend." Aniston and Cooper were both in the movie He's Just Not That Into You, but did not have any scenes together.

In other Hollywood relationship news, it appears that Vanessa Minnillo did not wait long after breaking up with Nick Lachey to move on. The former MTV VJ was seen luring Spider Man 3 star Topher Grace into her clutches. The two were seen at a private party dancing and kissing and then left the party together. Nick Lachey, who was formerly married to Jessica Simpson, and Vanessa Minnillo only announced their break up earlier this month.

The new season of Dancing With the Stars has not even started yet and already two contestants are off the show. Singer Jewel and entertainment anchor Nancy O'Dell have both withdrawn from the show. Both of them are suffering from serious injuries that prevent them from being able to dance anymore for the show. Jewel was diagnosed with a fractured tibia in both legs, while Nancy O'Dell has a torn meniscus. It has been rumored that Girls Next Door reality star Holly Madison will be taking one of the spots on Dancing With the Stars. Actually, Holly's friend and former roommate, Bridget Marquardt, let it slip that Holly will be doing the show. Marquardt told Fox News during an interview, "I'm so excited for her. She's wanted to do it for so long. It just never worked with her schedule and Hef was always like 'I don't want you to do that,' and now it's her time, so I'm really happy for her." ABC will officially announce the lineup replacements on the premier show of Dancing With the Stars.

Singer Amy Winehouse has officially been charged with assault. The charge stems from last fall when she allegedly hit a fan at a charity ball. According to Amy's spokesperson, "Amy voluntarily attended a police station in London," upon which she was formally arrested and charged. "She was questioned by appointment in relation to an accusation made after the Berkeley ball last year." A dancer is alleging that Winehouse hit her in the eye after asking the singer to take her picture at the ball. Amy is due back in court on March 17.

Actress Jennifer Garner and actor Ben Affleck have welcomed another little girl into their family. According to People.com, Jennifer gave birth to a baby girl on January 6 in Los Angeles. The couple already has a daughter, 3-year-old Violet. No other details are available as of now about the baby girl except that she is "healthy." Jennifer and Ben are a pretty private couple, and I'm guessing that they will be keeping quiet about the birth of their child for a little bit. Congratulations and best of luck to this family.

The last of the Girls Next Door has moved out of the playboy Mansion. Bridget Marquardt has officially moved out of the Playboy Mansion, following in the footsteps of Holly Madison and Kendra Wilkinson. Bridget says that she has moved out because, "It's just a good time for me to become my own person." She does not have an official new home right now as she is traveling around for her new show on the Travel Channel called Bridget's Sexiest Beaches. So, you knew this was only a matter of time before she moved out also. I wonder how much money she got for her "contract" with Hefner. It's funny that all three of the girls moved out of the mansion within months of each other. Coincidence or was their contract for being Hefner's girlfriends just up?

The tests results are back on Charles Barkley, and yes, he was legally drunk when he was pulled over for suspicion of DUI on December 31. His blood alcohol level was .149, almost twice the legal limit allowed in Arizona. I wonder if his "celebrity status" in Arizona will get him out of jail time. I say let him sit in jail for some time, but of course, he would probably just use the experience to make more money by writing a book about it or something.

American Idol's Simon Cowell has ended his six-year relationship with his girlfriend, Terri Seymour. A rep for Cowell confirmed that the couple broke up, and that it was actually Terri's idea and not Simon's. His rep also added, "It was something that was coming, so it wasn't a shock or a surprise." Cowell has mentioned in the past that he will never settle down and have a family. In my opinion, this is why the couple broke up. Seymour is only 34 and most likely wants to get married and maybe even have children. My question is though, why would she waste six years with Cowell? Did she think that she could change him? Maybe.

It appears that Hugh Hefner's exes are finally moving out of the Playboy mansion. Bridget Marquardt stated to US Magazine that Holly Madison and Kendra Wilkinson are indeed moving out of the Playboy Mansion for good. Bridget also mentioned that she doesn't know how long she will be there. It also appears that ex-girlfriend Holly Madison did not take long to move on from Hefner. She was spotted getting pretty cozy with magician Criss Angel at a club in Las Vegas. I guess Criss Angel is at least one step up from Hefner.

In pretty shocking celebrity news, actor Joaquin Phoenix has announced that he is retiring from movie acting. He is going to pursue his music instead. He has been working on a record with British band The Charlatans. Phoenix has been nominated for two Oscars in his career and has starred in several top box office hits, such as Walk the Line and Gladiator. Walk the Line was actually the movie in which Phoenix learned how to play the guitar to impersonate Johnny Cash and first got interested in playing music. I personally loved Joaquin Phoenix as Johnny Cash, but I'm not so sure that I would like him as a musician. I guess we will have to wait and see what his music is like. Of course, look at how many other professional athletes and actors have come out of retirement when a second career hasn't worked out for them. Somehow, I don't think this will be the last that we see of Phoenix as an actor.
