Celebrity Gossip: Jonas Brothers Getting Ready for Wedding

The three Jonas brothers have never been one to fall in with convention and, apparently, eldest brother Kevin's upcoming marriage hasn't changed that. Kevin, who, along with his brothers, have been widely known for their commitment to abstinence, has already chosen a best man. That is, best men. Both of his bandmates, brothers Nick and Joe, will be acting as his best men; his bride-to-be, Danielle Deleasa, will have two maids-of-honor to match. The younger brothers are already planning Kevin's bachelor's party, which they say will be "good, clean fun."

While some celebrities are celebrating, others are not. Jessica Simpson was dealt a hard blow last week when her beloved dog, Daisy, was snatched away by a coyote in front of her eyes. Although she held out hope of finding the dog and even offered a reward, no sign of the dog has been found. This horrible incident follows on the heels of a very difficult year, in which Jessica has dealt with criticism about her weight, survived an earthquake in Japan and been dumped by longtime beau and football player Tony Romo. Hopefully, 2010 will be kinder to the singer.

And in other celebrity news, baby makes three! Actress Sarah Michelle Prinze (formerly Gellar) and her husband, Freddie Prinze, Jr., recently welcomed a new addition to their family. Gellar gave birth to their first child, a daughter named Charlotte Grace. The couple have been married for several years. The actress is best known for her role as Buffy in the former hit series Buffy The Vampire Slayer.

Evolution of Clothing: It Suits Him: Ties and Coats and Panache

Ties and coats are no longer just for forced family photos and holiday gatherings. Young men with panache can proudly wear a slightly disheveled white shirt and tie or suit coat and t-shirt thanks to Zac Effron and the Jonas Brothers.

The Disney sensations known as Jo-Bros, and Zac Effron, cannot take complete credit for co-opting formal wear into hot casual looks. First we need to look back at movie stars who made the suit famous, as well as later stars who deconstructed the style.

Nobody wore the suit like Cary Grant. In many of his films from the 1940s and 1950s Cary Grant appeared as comfortable in his pressed shirt and full suit as many would be in a pair of pajamas. Fast-forward to Dustin Hoffman, barefoot in a suit coat and unbuttoned dress shirt in the iconic scene where he is watching Mrs. Robinson take off her nylons.

The suit got serious in the 1980's film American Gigolo, as worn by Richard Gere and designed by Giorgio Armani. Richard Gere's profession may not have been noble, but in the 1980s there was a definite mass consciousness that connected suit wearing with money making. Suit elements, including bigger-than-life shoulder pads found there way into women's business attire.

The 1980s also brought us a more playful approach to the suit coat, dress shirt and tie combination, which has been embraced by today's young pop icons. Tom Cruise in Risky Business made a fashion statement with a pair of white socks and matching dress shirt. Later in the film he wears his suit coat more casually, with a black t-shirt.

The real fun comes with General Hospital-doctor-turned-pop-sensation, Rick Springfield. One of his signature looks was a wrinkled white dress shirt and colorful tie. Springfield brought a sense of frolic to suit pieces, once thought of as formal.

The fun and hip mindset has evolved to today's suits for today's young men.

Miley's Ratings, Britney Being Good and Lindsey's Mom's Mother...Award? Really?

Well, it's been less than a week since the latest Miley Cyrus racy photo scandal broke. Her "artistic" partially nude photos didn't go over too well with parents of tweens and the backlash may be starting already. There are reports that ratings for last Sunday's new episode of *Disney Channel'*s original series "Hannah Montana" were down more than 30 percent from the last premiere. So is the dip in ratings due to the writers' strike or is it just because parents are not permitting their tweens to watch "Hannah Montana" anymore? I mean, it's not like we're talking about "Desperate Housewives" here - "Hannah Montana" is as wholesome as TV gets these days.

Oh well, if Miley Cyrus moves away from Disney we can still count on the *Jonas Brother*s to provide some wholesome entertainment. That is until one of the JoBros gets caught up in their own naked photo scandal or worse. Oops, did I say that out loud?<p>Jonas Brothers fans will love this next piece of gossip - it looks like the Jonas Brothers have signed a deal to star in their very own Jonas Brothers 3-D movie due to be released next year! Hey, if the Miley Cyrus/"Hannah Montana" 3-D movie raked in that much cash surely the Jonas Brothers can top it. Perez Hilton is already planning his outfit for the Jonas Brothers 3-D movie premiere.

Mother's Day is right around the corner and thankfully there is plenty of hot Hollywood mom gossip to go around. Britney Spears surprised everyone by actually showing up to her court date on time. This coming after a slew of missed court dates and finally having her visitation rights taken away completely. Could Britney really be getting her act together? Looks that way - the court has added more visitation rights for Britney Spears including overnight stays with her sons. Way to go Brit!

*Angelina Jolie*'s pregnancy is old news, but there are now more reports popping up that she and Brad Pitt may really be expecting twins! The reports differ - some claim that she is having a boy and a girl while the latest report from Star magazine says it's two girls. Either way, I'm sure the Jolie-Pitt clan is anxiously awaiting the arrival of the latest member (or members) of their family.

And here's a real shocker - *Lindsey Lohan*'s mom, Dina Lohan, was honored with a Mother of the Year award! OK, not really. It was more like "Long Island Top Mom," but the fact that Dina Lohan would receive any kind of award for mothering is beyond me. It makes me wonder who Dina was up against for the award. Amy Fisher's mom, maybe?

Not only that, but TMZ claims that Dina Lohan actually skipped out on a family counseling session to accept her award. Now there's a woman who has her priorities in order.

And finally, Jessica Alba did a very sweet thing for other mothers to be this past week. The very pregnant Jessica Alba visited with students at a Los Angeles high school for pregnant teen mothers. Not only did she take the time to talk to the girls and visit each classroom, but she came bearing baby gifts for all 200 girls! How cool is that?
