Justin Timberlake has confirmed on the Oprah Winfrey Show that he is not engaged at this time to Jessica Biel. There have been some rumors going around that the duo was engaged, but apparently that is just not the case. He told Oprah that, “I’m not engaged. If she’s engaged, we have a problem.”

Another singer that is setting the record straight on his personal life is Pete Wentz. He went on record at the Kid’s Choice Awards that his marriage to Ashlee Simpson is not on the rocks and everything is great. When asked about the rumors, Wentz replied, “I laugh at all of that stuff.” The couple had been apart for a little bit as Wentz was on tour with his band and Ashlee was taking care of their son Bronx Mowgli. The two reunited at the Australia MTV Awards last week with a kiss onstage, looking like the perfect couple. The couple will celebrate their one year anniversary in May.

Katherine Heigl is saying that she has no plans to leave Grey’s Anatomy even though her character on the show, Izzie has a brain tumor.

There has been speculation that the actress was leaving Grey’s Anatomy to focus on her movie career. Heigl says that it is not true and she has no problem working on her movies during her summer hiatus from Grey’s Anatomy.

We have finally learned what exactly made Jennifer Aniston give John Mayer the boot for good this time. Twitter! Twitter is a social networking site that uses short 140 character posts to communicate with others. John Mayer is very prolific on Twitter. Apparently, Aniston did not like this one bit. She felt that Mayer did not have enough time for her, to even just text her, but he was able to find time to write plenty of tweets on Twitter. Mayer even ended up tweeting about his break up, “This heart didn’t come with instructions.”
Has singer Rihanna finally moved on from Chris Brown. According to Fox News, she was seen cuddling with reality star Frankie Delgado (The Hills) at the club Delux. It was even reported that Rihanna gave Frankie a lap dance. Rihanna must be having fun celebrating her 21st birthday as she was also seen with Delgado and Brody Jenner at Nobu the night before. Sources are claiming that Rihanna is still seeing Chris Brown though. Maybe once Brown goes to his arraignment and hopefully gets jail time, Rihanna can fully move on to a better man.

Candy Spelling, the husband of late Aaron Spelling and Tori’s mother is putting the Spelling mansion up for sale. Whoever buys the home gets bragging rights for the most expensive home for sale right now. Spelling has the estate listed on the market for $150 million. It is the largest home in Los Angeles at 56,000 square feet on 5 acres worth of land. The reason why Candy is selling the home is that it is only her now in the huge home and it just takes too many people to upkeep the whole estate. Spelling told People that “This house is the equivalent of a mid-sized hotel. It’s a lot of work.” We’ll have to see who has enough money to buy this home right now. Should be interesting to see how long it takes to sell and who buys it.

I guess Jennifer Love Hewitt has gotten over her ex-fiancé pretty quickly. Jamie Kennedy, Hewitt’s costar on the Ghost Whisperer, told Ryan Seacrest that yes and he and Jennifer are dating.

He told Seacrest on his radio show that “We’re more than dating … we’re more than in love.” He went on to add, “I’m in love, and I don’t care!” Kennedy says that the relationship came out of nowhere and that Jennifer is an amazing person.

A couple who is reportedly not dating is Britney Spears and her longtime agent Jason Trawick. A source tells US magazine that “They are absolutely, 100 percent not dating. He is her agent, and that is it.” E! News had reported that the two were secretly going out on dates together, but according to the close source to Britney that is completely false. There is nothing more than a professional relationship between them.

As actress Anne Heche prepares for her arrival of her baby with boyfriend and former co-star, James Tupper, her divorce from her ex-husband Coley Laffoon has been finalized. An agreement on spousal support is what held up the divorce finalization. It has been agreed that Heche will pay Laffoon a lump sum of $515,000. She will also pay him $3,700 a month for child support for their son Homer, 6. Heche and Laffoon wed back in 2001 and filed for divorce in February 2007. She couldn’t even wait until her divorce was finalized before getting pregnant with another man’s baby?

It looks like Mischa Barton will be joining the dating scene again. Mischa blogged that she broke up with her musician boyfriend Luke Pritchard. She wrote on the blog, “I’m sure you guys are all going to hear about it soon enough, so I just wanted to tell you what is real first — I broke up with Luke when I got to London.” She went on, writing, “There was no cheating or anything terrible, the bad just started to outweigh the good, and a long-distance relationship is never an easy thing to do.” The couple had been dating for a little over a year.

Ashlee Simpson has confirmed that she will be joining the cast of the new Melrose Place. Simpson tells US Magazine, “I look forward to being a part of its new generation of residents.” It has been reported that Ashlee will play a lead character on the show named Violet, who is a small-town girl who moves to the big city of L.A. with a secret. Simpson just recently had a guest appearance on CSI: New York with her husband Pete Wentz. She also had a reoccurring role on the drama 7th Heaven for two years when she was a teenager. They must be running out of original ideas for television shows as they keep resurrecting old ones and attempting to make them new.

Singer Rihanna has apparently rekindled her romance with her beau Chris Brown. The two were spotted vacationing in Miami together, staying in Diddy’s vacation home. They spent the weekend there and both have returned to Los Angeles. It has been reported that the couple got back together after an altercation they had that left Rihanna with scrapes and bruises. Rihanna was not spotted outside the Miami home, but Brown was seen water skiing close by. Chris Brown is scheduled to be arraigned this week for the altercation with Rihanna. This couple just needs to stay away from each other. Brown has said that he acted in self-defense and after seeing the pictures of Rihanna, these two will be better off just staying away. Why people get back together after these types of incidents leaves me puzzled.

First he was dating Lauren Conrad and then it was onto Amanda Bynes, now Doug Reinhardt is rumored to be dating Paris Hilton of all people. It seems like this minor league baseball player knows how to make his rounds in the young Hollywood scene. Doug and Paris were seen together at Teddy’s in Los Angeles hanging out in the back corner and dancing together. According to a source, Doug introduced Paris as his girlfriend to his friends. This guy moves on pretty fast, and I have to say he definitely downgraded this time.

Britney Spears is going to be the newest face of Candies clothing and accessories. Past spokespeople for the brand include Hayden Panettiere and Kelly Clarkson.

Actress Claire Danes and actor Hugh Dancy are engaged. Daines’ rep has confirmed this news but has not let any other information go about when the couple got engaged or when they will get married. The couple first started dating back in 2007 while filming the movie Evening together.

Dr. Doug Ross and Nurse Carol Hathaway will be returning to ER together. News broke last week that George Clooney would be returning to ER for the final episode. Well it is now known that Juliana Margulies is also returning for the final episode. Viewers will now be able to find out what ever happened to Dr Ross and nurse Hathaway, who left unmarried but moving away together. Clooney and Margulies both left the show within a year of each other and now after eight years are coming back to give closure to their on-screen relationship.

Christian Bale has made a public apology for his swear-word-laden tirade that he put on a crew member on the set of his movie, Terminator Salvation. Bale said that he has “no confusion whatsoever — I was out of order, beyond belief.” He went on to say in an interview on a radio show that, “There is nobody who has heard that tape that has been hit harder by it than me. It is inexcusable.” Before closing the interview he asked fans not to take his tirade out on the movie and to still go see this movie. He also closed the interview saying, “I am embarrassed by it, and I regret it. I ask everybody to sit down and ask themselves, ‘Have they ever had a bad day and ever lost their temper and really regretted it immensely?’” I actually feel sorry for the guy, even though many probably don’t. How many people when they are at work have gotten annoyed and frustrated with other coworkers mistakes and mess-ups? How many other actors have treated their coworkers or set crew like crap, and we just never hear about it?

It looks like actress Amanda Bynes is definitely over “The Hills“ reality actor Doug Reinhardt. The actress was spotted at SUSHISAMBA at the Palazzo having lunch with a group of friends. Bynes was seated with two other girls and two guys. Michelle Tsang of Preferred Public Relations told us the group ordered a large assortment of samba rolls and seemed like they were having a fun time together. They may have all been friends, but it seemed Amanda was paying more attention to one of the guys. She sat very close to this guy friend during the entire lunch. Yeah, we’re willing to bet that Amanda is over Reinhardt.

Bynes’ romantic status may be under speculation, but one new couple has been confirmed. “Gossip Girl“ actors Ed Westwick and Jessica Szohr confirmed that they are seeing each other by kissing each other courtside at a Laker’s game. They’ve also been spotted kissing and flirting while waiting for a flight in the Dallas’ airport back in December.

Michael Phelps is trying to make amends after being caught taking a bong hit by the paparazzi. After a photo of him smoking pot was leaked, Phelps issued a public apology and went right back to swim training. This isn’t the first time he’s gotten in trouble with substances; he was arrested for a DUI in 2004 and was sentenced to 18 months probation. However, it’s still uncertain if he’ll swim in the 2012 Olympics.

And in movie news, Warner Bros. announced last week they want to shoot a new Lara Croft film. “Lara Croft: Tomb Raider“ grossed $275 million worldwide, but the sequel, “Cradle of Life,” didn’t impress audiences as much. Angelina Jolie has moved on, however, so Warner Bros. will recast the lead role. With no scriptwriter or director for the new Lara Croft film yet, it’s likely that casting won’t begin until much later this year.

Singer and actress Mandy Moore will soon be heading down the aisle. Her rep has confirmed to US Magazine that Moore and singer Ryan Adams are engaged. She was spotted out in L.A. shopping with a ring on her finger. The duo started dating in March of last year and briefly split up in July, before getting back together. No date has been released for the wedding or when they actually got engaged. I just think that this couple is such a weird paring. I think of Mandy Moore all innocent and then Ryan Adams as a rocker, grungy-type person. I have a feeling that they may never actually see the aisle.

Nicolette Sheridan’s rep has confirmed that she will be leaving Desperate Housewives after this season. Sheridan denies being fired from the show but is leaving on good terms to pursue other projects. As you may know, this is not the first time that it has been said that Sheridan is leaving the show. But apparently ABC has also confirmed that she will not be on next season’s shows. I wonder if she is just going to leave Wisteria Lane again or will she be killed off?

In other TV news, it has been rumored that Katherine Heigl will be leaving Grey’s Anatomy right along with her co-star T.R. Knight. James Pickens, who plays the chief on the show, reported that both Heigl and Knight will be leaving after this season. They both want out of the show, and Heigl wants to pursue other things with her career. I think that these two people should be grateful for what Grey’s Anatomy did for their career. Heigl would not have been in the movies she did if it was not for Grey’s Anatomy. I think she needs a lesson in humility.
