Ben Affleck at TIFF 2010

Congrats, Ben & Jen! One of Hollywood's favourite Couples have welcomed their third Child - a Son - into the World. Although a name still hasn't been announced, a Source close to Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner confirmed the news earlier to US Magazine.

It is said that the Couple took suggestions from their two Daughters Violet (six) and Seraphina (three) for names, including some real Disney-inspired winners like Donald Duck, Peter Pan, Minnie Mouse Affleck and more. Aww!

UPDATE: His name is Samuel.  Samuel Garner Affleck.

Mimi just got emancipated! Mariah Carey is ready to step back in the spotlight again, presenting a slimmer and trimmer Figure, post-Twins. Carey appeared on The Rosie Show yesterday announcing that she is the new Spokesperson for Jenny (formerly known as Jenny Craig) Weight Loss Centres. She also confirmed to US Weekly that she has lost over 30 lbs. via a 1,500 calorie per day Diet and three workouts a week.

In addition to all this great news, Carey will be re-releasing her Track When Christmas Comes from her Holiday Disc, Merry Christmas II You as a Duet with John Legend in addition to her recent Collaboration with Justin Bieber on her Classic All I Want for Christmas is You.

DANIEL CRAIG & RACHEL WEISZ MARRY SECRETLY

Rachel Weisz at TIFF 2008

If you think Rachel Weisz looks shocked here, how do you think I felt when US Magazine broke the story that both she and Daniel Craig tied the knot on Friday in New York City secretly?  It is said the Ceremony was a v. intimate one with few Friends invited.

Weisz and Craig's Romance had ignited late 2009-early 2010 when they were both in Toronto working on Jim Sheridan's Thriller Dream House.  At that time Weisz had still been married to Director Darren Aronofsky and Craig had been together with longtime Girlfriend Satsuki Mitchell.  Albeit quick, who are we to judge?  Congratulations to the talented Thespians!

Many are saying we likely will be seeing both at TIFF 2011 in September as the Film will be released around then.

SHANIA TWAIN ENGAGEMENT CONFIRMED BY US WEEKLY

Shania Twain on Us Weekly

Do people no longer believe in good old fashioned love? Canada's beloved Shania Twin according to Us Weekly, is now engaged to Nestle Business Executive Frederic Thiebaud. But wait - get this - Thiebaud is the former Husband to Twain's former Best friend Marie-Ann, now the partner of her ex-Husband/Producer Mutt Lange.

Anyhow, there's a Ring involved and everything as seen by onlookers in New York City recently, but Us Weekly is wise to keep specifics under wraps until their next issue hits Newsstands this Wednesday!  Click here to read more in the meantime.

The added Publicity definitely doesn't hurt seeing that Twain's new Reality Show Why Not? will be launching on the Oprah Winfrey Network early January.  Exactly - why the heck not?  Go Shania!  We won't judge.

RYAN REYNOLDS & SCARLETT JOHANSSON CONFIRM SPLIT

Ryan Reynolds at TIFF 2010

GQ Magazine's Babe of the Year and People Magazine's Sexiest Man Alive are no longer together. Us Weekly reports that Ryan Reynolds and Scarlett Johansson have split up for about two weeks now, less than two years after marrying.

The Couple via a Publicist, have issued this following statement: "After long and careful consideration on both our parts, we've decided to end our marriage. We entered our relationship with love and it's with love and kindness we leave it. While privacy isn't expected, it's certainly appreciated."

Tragic, but perhaps many saw this coming as the Couple had dated less than a year before deciding to wed and with their hectic filming schedules, it is understandable that their foundation wasn't strong enough to last the time spent apart.  I'm sure many of you are already planning an "in" to Reynolds as we speak - just remember to give him a bit of space before you start going all out!

EMMA STONE AS A BLONDE

Emma Stone

Who knew?  Before today I had no idea that red hotness Emma Stone is actually a Blonde.  Stone who is now filming the latest installment of the Spider-man franchise alongside Andrew Garfield, showed her true colours last night at TREVOR LIVE.  The Awards ceremony in Los Angeles was held in honour of The Trevor Project, which promotes visibility and understanding of the LGBTQ Community.  Learn more about the event here.

US Weekly posted the above photo of Stone with her new original hair colour (required for her role as Gwen Stacy) and I hate to say it, but red suits her so much more.  Have a better look at the side-by-side comparsion here.

TAYLOR SWIFT AND JAKE GYLLENHAAL PHOTOGRAPHED TOGETHER ON "US WEEKLY"

December 1st Issue of US Weekly

It's official!  And US Weekly has the first official shots of Jake Gyllenhaal and Taylor Swift out and about in Brooklyn over U.S. Thanksgiving Weekend after one of many, many, many Coffees they had together.  Gyllenhaal did also fly out to Nashville to visit Swift too on the latter part of the weekend.

Swift is a consummate Starbucks Drinker, but they did support some local Artisan Coffee Shops too like Brooklyn's Gorilla Coffee and Nashville's Frothy Monkey, where one unassuming Patron snapped a shot on their Mobile Phone of them, fetching a rumoured "tens of thousands of dollars".  And you wonder why Paparazzi love what they do.

Click for more details at US Weekly, although they are smart not to give too much away.

Jake - remember, despite the appearance of a Woman, she's still a girl inside.  Taylor - you're young.  Be smart with your heart.
