Former Spice Girl, Geri Halliwell is engaged after only dating the guy for one month. Halliwell just split from her boyfriend in December and is now engaged to another man. His name is Fabrizio Politi, and he is a yacht tycoon in Italy. According to reps for Halliwell, "There are no immediate plans for marriage as the couple is enjoying their engagement." Geri Halliwell also has a 2-year-old daughter, whose father is neither her ex-boyfriend nor her fiancé. All I have to say is she gets around pretty good. I mean why not marry this guy, he's rich and she doesn't have a job anymore.

It seems that we will be seeing much more of The City's Whitney Port. The Hollywood Reporter states that MTV has renewed The City for another year, even though the show is not getting good ratings. I don't know if anybody out there watches it, but I have only watched The City once, and Whitney shows no emotion. Her facial expressions are always the same, and it just seems like she is doing a bad job at acting on the show, even though it's supposed to be reality.

In slightly disturbing celebrity news, Evan Rachel Wood, who used to date Marilyn Manson, has now been romantically linked with actor Mickey Rourke. The couple attended a SAG awards after party together and were seen making out with each other before heading off to a hotel room together. Wood is 21 years old, and Rourke is 56 years old. Worst of all, Rourke played Evan Rachel Wood's father in the movie The Wrestler, which is how they met. I have to say that for how pretty Evan Rachel Wood is, she has some weird taste in men.

Animal prints are definitely in fashion with celebrities. Everything from animal print accessories, like totes and scarves, to full animal print dresses. Celebrities are going wild over these animal prints. Kate Bosworth was seen wearing an animal print t-shirt as she headed to the airport, while Nicole Richie sported an animal print scarf to a red carpet event. Lily Allen took the animal print to the extreme and wore a leopard print winter coat to add some drama to her outfit. Full-on animal print dresses have been seen all over the red carpet also. America Ferrera wore a black and white tiger print dress to an event, while Maggie Gyllenhaal wore an animal print dress to the Golden Globes. This is one easy fashion trend for everyone to follow. If you are unsure about the trend, which is actually a classic fashion trend, think like Jessica Alba and start out with a snakeskin tote. Or you can go even simpler and add a touch of animal print to your outfit with an animal print belt from Dolce and Gabbana.

It appears that the 80's are back. More and more celebrities are bringing back the 80's fashion looks in a slightly more modern way. Hayden Panettiere rocked the 80's look in her gold metallic mini-dress that she wore on the red carpet. While Jessica Biel rocked a full black taffeta dress that almost looked like it could have been wore to a prom in the 80's. Other celebrities such as Miley Cyrus, Kate Bosworth, Rihanna, Blake Lively, Kate Moss and Lily Allen are also bringing out the 80's fashion garb. When trying to follow this celebrity fashion trend, you have to be careful not to look like you actually belong in the 80's. Think updated 80's fashion such as sleek dresses with polka dots and fitted leather jackets. Leave the parachute pants and shoulder pads at home. You want to look in fashion and not like a total blast from the past.

A couple of weeks ago, I wrote about the pending divorce of Jodie Sweetin and her husband Cody Herpin. It appears that there is some new information that has been made public about their split. According to court papers, Sweetin and her husband are dead broke. Their house is in foreclosure, their water has been turned off in the past, and they have several other past-due bills. Sweetin is claiming that Herpin quit work when they got married and "kept finding one excuse after another for his failure to even attempt to find employment." They survived solely off residuals from Full House. There are also claims that Herpin threatened to take away their daughter from Sweetin if she left. Herpin denies these allegations and says that he was a stay-at-home dad and didn't know this was a problem. He didn't realize that when their water got turned off, that maybe he should get off his butt and get a job? This whole relationship seems like a mess, and the one person that you feel sorry for is their daughter.

Another split in Hollywood involves actor Chris Klein and his girlfriend of two years Ginnifer Goodwin. According to a friend of the actress, the split was "mutual and amicable." If you remember, Klein was dating Katie Holmes for quite awhile, and then just a short time after they broke up she hooked up with Tom Cruise. Now, Katie is married to Tom and has a daughter and seems to be happy. Maybe this breakup with Klein will have the same effect for Goodwin. She can meet her future husband now!

For a happy ending to this post, John Rich from the country group, Big and Rich married his longtime girlfriend, Joan Bush this past week. The couple had a small wedding in Nashville and kept it low-key -- just like their relationship. Wishing this couple all the best of luck and hoping they don't end like Jody Sweetin and her husband.
