Isla Fisher and Sacha Baron Cohen

BUZZ: Sacha Baron Cohen
and Isla Fisher Wed
As his alter ego might say: "Great success!" Borat star Sacha Baron Cohen has married his longtime girlfriend, Australian actress Isla Fisher, according to Woman's Day.

The ceremony reportedly took place in Paris, where the two spent a week at the Hotel Ritz and were photographed walking around the nearby Place Vendome wearing matching berets.

"We did it – we're married!" Fisher told friends in an e-mail, reports Women's Day. "It was the absolute best day of my life and in so many beautiful moments I missed you all so much. I thought of you as everything was happening, but Sacha and I wanted no fuss – just us!"

The couple, who have been together for about eight years, have a 2-year-old daughter, Olive, born in 2007.

Fisher is currently filming the black comedy Burke & Hare for Animal House director Jon Landis in London. In May, Baron Cohen is set to go before the cameras in Paris for Martin Scorsese's Invention of Hugo Cabret, adapted from Brian Selznick's historical novel.

Born in England and educated at Cambridge, Baron Cohen, 38, is notoriously reticent with the press, rarely giving interviews out of character. But he may have given Fisher a sly compliment at the Sydney premiere of Borat in 2006, when he told reporters, "I would very much like to find an Australian wife. My preference is for woman who has more hair on head than back."

Fisher, 34, was born in Oman but raised in Australia. She got her acting career rolling in the mid-'90s on the Aussie soap opera Home and Away, but she's also written two best-selling teen-romance novels. She is best known for her film work in Wedding Crashers and Confessions of a Shopaholic.

She told a British newspaper in 2005: "Sacha makes me laugh more than anyone, which is why I'm marrying him." She added: "I find weddings really boring. They give speeches, your aunt kisses you on the cheek, and you're at a boring table. But it's different when it's your own."

Baron Cohen first rose to fame in the late 1990s as the wannabe rapper Ali G on British television. His character gained new fans in 2003 when Da Ali G Show hit U.S. shores, airing on HBO.

The show also featured Baron Cohen as Borat, the Kazakh journalist; and Bruno, the gay Austrian fashionista. Both of those characters were the basis for feature films.

Though Isla Fisher gained fame as a teen with roles on Australian soaps Paradise Beach and Home and Away, it was the 2005 smash hit Wedding Crashers that catapulted the redhead to fame. Fisher went on to cement her funny lady status in Hollywood by following up with Definitely, Maybe and Confessions of a Shopaholic.

While the actress will do (almost) anything for a laugh, Fisher is serious about keeping her personal life off-limits. Married to the equally private Sacha Baron Cohen, the actress rarely talks about her family life with the British comedian, with whom she has two children.

Mike Comrie and Hilary Duff

Caught in the Act!
• Newlyweds Hilary Duff and Mike Comrie were in the mood to party – so the duo hit up L.A.'s Trousdale Lounge, where they sat in the main room at a VIP table surrounded by friends. The group danced all night and sipped vodka and champagne. Also at the club? Mary-Kate Olsen, who was hanging out (separately) in the back room with friends.

• Katie Holmes spent a rainy day shopping in Toronto's tony Yorkville neighborhood with daughters Suri and Isabella during a break from filming The Kennedys. The ladies hit up a Starbucks and, despite getting "drenched as they walked in and out of the store," visited GapKids and also spent some time at Anthropologie, a source tells us. In spite of the rain, it was a successful trip. "By the time they went home," the source says, "they were carrying several big, white bags."

• Kendra Wilkinson had a ladies' night out with friends at LIV Nightclub in Miami. The starlet drank vodka cocktails and danced into the wee hours of the morning. "Kendra didn't sit down once," an onlooker says. "She loved being out and dancing." Across the room, Kevin Federline and girlfriend Victoria Prince were "getting hot and heavy," the onlooker says of the duo, who ate strawberries and sipped champagne at their table.

• Janet Jackson spent more than $200 on tea at the newly opened Kusmi store on New York's Upper East Side. The singer stopped in with her assistant, and told shopkeepers that she loved the diet green and chocolate teas, which she first tried in Paris.

• Kelly Osbourne and a male friend took a break from the intense heat at L.A.'s Sunset Junction to (briefly) visit the Army Navy Surplus Store. Kelly followed her friend, a tall boy with long, shoulder-length blonde hair, as he tried on a few hats.

Hilary Duff and Mike Comrie

Hilary Duff: We Want Kids –
Just Not Yet
Hilary Duff has been married since August – but she has a few things to cross off her list before she considers expanding her family.

Asked if she and husband Mike Comrie are talking about parenthood, Duff said on the Valentine in the Morning radio show Friday, "We're not. We're not thinking about it at all."

But, she added, that doesn't rule out a big brood down the road.

"We're excited to have kids," Duff, 22, said. "But we don't want to do it now. We've been married for six weeks. We haven't sent thank-you notes out yet. Can we get that out of the way before?"

Duff and Canadian hockey player Comrie, 29, exchanged vows in Santa Barbara, Calif., in August.

The singer, who started her career as a child star working with Disney, also spoke about the challenges today's young stars face. "It's hard," Duff said of the entertainment business. "I would never just march up to Miley Cyrus and say, 'I got some stuff to share with you.' I think they're doing a good job."

Haylie and Hilary Duff

Haylie Duff Reflects on
'Beautiful Memories' from
Hilary's Wedding
A sister's wedding is a big day for anyone – and it's no different for Haylie Duff, who watched proudly as little sister Hilary got married on Saturday.

Reflecting on the nuptials on Monday, Haylie, 25, wrote on Twitter: "what a special weekend filled with love and beautiful memories." (The post later disappeared, but not before being reposted by a number of Haylie's fans.)

Hilary, 22, exchanged vows with Canadian hockey player Mike Comrie, 29, in Santa Barbara, Calif., on Saturday. "Mike held his arm around Hilary for most of the romantic, candlelit ceremony, and they both looked extremely happy," an eyewitness told PEOPLE.

QUIZ: Guess the Superstar Bride!


Not surprisingly, Haylie served as maid of honor at the ceremony, according to OK! magazine.

Former Lizzie McGuire star Hilary Duff matured without tarnishing her perky, mom-friendly Disney veneer – which former rival Lindsay Lohan shed.

The tween TV hit spawned a movie spin-off that launched Duff's big-screen career, and as a pop singer, she released three platinum-selling albums, two of which topped the Billboard charts. But it was a reported feud with Lohan over pop star Aaron Carter that had the tabloids buzzing. Duff eventually moved on, dating Good Charlotte rocker Joel Madden for more than two years before finding love again with hockey player Mike Comrie – with whom she married in August 2010.

Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt

Heidi Montag & Spencer Pratt
Renew Their Wedding Vows
This time it's not just reality, it's for real.

After calling his made-for-TV Hills marriage ceremony "a nightmare," Spencer Pratt, along with wife Heidi Montag have said "I do" for what they call their first "real" wedding.

"It's just me and my bride on a little secret beach with nobody else, and it's just about her," Pratt tells Entertainment Tonight of their vow renewal, which took place Sunday at a beachfront house in Carpenteria, Calif. "Last time it was about everything else, it was about drama, it was about ratings."

Echoes Montag: "It was about everyone but us, so this is really our first wedding about Spencer and I and our love."

Seemingly happier than ever, Montag says she can "finally just be Heidi," adding, "I'm just really enjoying every day."

The duo, who recently said they are broke, had their dream wedding donated to them, according to ET.

Heidi Klum

Before gracing the cover of Sports Illustrated's swimsuit issue and sporting lingerie for Victoria's Secret, Heidi Klum was an undiscovered stunner from the small West German city of Bergisch Gladbach.

While still in high school, Klum won a modeling competition that launched her career in Europe. In the '90s, she went on to conquer the American market beside Tyra Banks, and eventually expanded her portfolio as the host, judge and producer of Project Runway and launched her own fragrance, jewelry and clothing lines. In 2008, Klum was nominated for the first-ever best reality show host Emmy, and along with her fellow nominees hosted the ceremony.

Klum, who was previously married to Ric Pipino and had a daughter with Italian entrepreneur Flavio Briatore, has since married singer Seal, with whom she's welcomed three more children.

Heather Locklear and Jack Wagner

Heather Locklear Is Not
Engaged
Fresh off her 49th birthday fiesta, does Heather Locklear have another reason to celebrate: her engagement?

Not quite, the Melrose Place star's rep tells PEOPLE, contrary to tabloid reports: "Heather Locklear and Jack Wagner are not engaged."

RELATED: Jack Wagner Serenades Birthday Girl Heather Locklear


A friend of the couple also said the two had no plans to tie the knot, saying that reports claiming Wagner proposed at a 49th birthday party he recently threw for Locklear were completely false.

"There was no proposal and there is no engagement," the friend tells PEOPLE. "It was a regular birthday party with good friends, candles and a cake, but that's it."

Locklear, 49, has been dating Wagner, 51, for more than three years, and a friend of Locklear's told PEOPLE in 2009 that they were "in it for the long haul."


Classic California blonde Heather Locklear became TV royalty with concurrent roles in the classic '80s primetime soap Dynasty and the cop show T.J. Hooker.

But Locklear cemented her fame on FOX's Melrose Place as calculating Amanda Woodward, and followed up with a similarly possessed turn as Michael J. Fox's (and then Charlie Sheen's) fellow politico on the sitcom Spin City.

Her rock-star oriented love life has long obsessed tabloid readers with failed marriages to Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee and Bon Jovi lead guitarist Richie Sambora. The golden TV goddess, who's dating Melrose costar Jack Wagner, sought treatment for anxiety and depression in June 2008 before having multiple run-ins with the law.

Hayden Panettiere

Some Heroes fans are still debating the meaning of "Save the cheerleader, save the world," but the catchphrase has definitely turned Hayden Panettiere into the sci-fi drama's breakout star. Her portrayal of the self-healing, indestructible Claire Bennet landed her on PEOPLE's Most Beautiful, FHM's Sexiest Women and Forbes' Celebrity Power 100 all before her 18th birthday.

Acting since she made a Playskool commercial at 11 months, Panettiere has starred alongside Denzel Washington (Remember the Titans), Kate Hudson (Raising Helen) and Julia Roberts (Fireflies in the Garden). In 2007, the young starlet made headlines when she began dating her much older Heroes costar Milo Ventimiglia for more than a year.

Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen

The (Tom) Brady Bunch (Plus Gisele)
Hits the Park!
What hands-on parents!

After taking baby Benjamin, 4 months, to Paris, where they enjoyed a scenic cruise down the Seine, Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen took their little guy to a Santa Monica, Calif., park Thursday.

Joining them? Big brother Jack, 2½, Brady's son with ex Bridget Moynahan.

The happy family played together on a playground, and Jack even rode around on a little scooter while Benjamin stayed comfortably perched in his mother's arms.

When fashion craved more than just Kate Moss' bones, Brazil's Gisele Bündchen sashayed in. Her sun-kissed frame and signature wavy locks eventually made her the world's highest-paid supermodel by the age of 26.

At 14, Bündchen was discovered amid French fry grease in a São Paulo McDonald's, and three years later, became a Victoria's Secret angel, racked up multiple Vogue covers, and called movie star Leonardo DiCaprio her boyfriend.

Bündchen has since married New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady and welcomed her first child, a baby boy named Benjamin.

Faith Hill

At 19, Faith Hill moved to Nashville to pursue country music and released her debut single, "Wild One," which stayed at No. 1 on Billboard's country charts for four weeks – something no one else had done in 30 years. With crossover hits like "This Kiss," Hill has remained one of country's leading ladies and won five Grammys.

After selling several million albums, Hill opened for fellow country superstar Tim McGraw on the "Spontaneous Combustion" tour, where sparks flew between the two musicians, who soon married and went on to record several hit duets and tour together as coheadliners. The mother of three, who has secured endorsement deals with Pepsi and CoverGirl, actively combats illiteracy through the Faith Hill Family Literacy Project.

Eva Longoria, Ken Paves and Jessica Simpson

Jessica's New Sidekick: Eva
Jessica Simpson and Eva Longoria share the same hairstylist – Ken Paves – and now they'll be sharing screen time. The new pals are teaming up to costar in Simpson's video for her song "Public Affair." "We haven't shot it yet. I just know I have to show up Friday somewhere. We're going to be roller-skating and I know there's an '80s theme," Longoria told us at the recent T-Mobile Sidekick 3 launch party, where she chilled with the singer. Also on hand at the Hollywood bash: former Nick Lachey flames Kim Kardashian and Kristin Cavallari.

A few days earlier, Simpson went back to her home state to hang out with her other girls – mom Tina and sister Ashlee, who was performing in Dallas. They celebrated a friend's birthday at the Hotel ZaZa's chic Dragonfly restaurant and went to the club Urban Oasis, where they sat in a VIP area and sipped champagne while chowing down on french fries with ranch dressing.

Getting 'Lost'
Before she begins filming the new season of Lost in August, Evangeline Lilly plans to hit the road – preferably to a spot where she's unrecognizable. "I don't know where I want to go – Mongolia or Timbuktu. Someplace where they don't watch Lost!" she told us at a party thrown in her honor by footwear designer Michelle K (the actress is the new spokesmodel for her shoe company) at L.A. store Kitson. "You never know though – they've caught Lost mania in so many countries you wouldn't expect. Africa, Asia, Russia, all over the place." No word on whether beau and costar Dominic Monaghan will be hitching a ride with her.


For Evangeline Lilly fame came without the pre-requisite years of endless auditions. About six weeks after she decided to pursue acting in 2004, the former Sunday school teacher won the role of Kate, a castaway with a checkered past, on ABC's Lost.

Before filming the hit drama with costar and real-life love Dominic Monaghan, the Canadian beauty was a devout Baptist girl who spent time living in a grass hut as a missionary in the Philippines. Although fame came quickly, she hasn't let her Golden Globe nod and Emmy win get to her head: after the first season of Lost, Lilly trekked to Rwanda to return to her missionary roots.

Evan Rachel Wood

Evan Rachel Wood shot to fame as every parent's rebellious nightmare in the teenage coming-of-age drama, Thirteen, and in real-life rose many eyebrows by falling for shock rocker Marilyn Manson.

However, her love affair with the dark musician didn't overshadow her acting career: by 20, she shared the screen with Oscar winners Nicole Kidman (Practical Magic), Cate Blanchett (The Missing) and Gwyneth Paltrow (Running with Scissors).

Wood, who once planned on tying the knot with Manson, belted out Beatles tunes in Across the Universe, supported Mickey Rourke in his Oscar-nominated comeback The Wrestler and became a vampire queen in HBO's True Blood.

Jessica Simpson and Eva Mendes

Jessica Simpson, Eva
Mendes & Jessica Alba Say
They Were Bullied, Too
Stars lilke Jessica Alba, Jessica Simpson and Eva Mendes may be rich, famous and seemingly fearless today but, like Tyler Clementi, these folks were teased and tormented when they were younger, too.

Playing a often-bullied geek on Glee comes easy to Chris Colfer, who tells PEOPLE he thought of himself as "a walking punching bag," and was "teased everyday from elementary school until high school."

Colfer, who is by no means grateful for being pushed around, says "it really taught me to be quick on my feet. Some of my witty comebacks are legendary."

Gossip Girl's Michelle Trachtenberg has also been physically harassed. "This one girl threw me down a flight of stairs, fractured my ribs, punched and fractured my nose," she told Complex magazine.

But as in the case of Clementi, not all bullying is physical. Simpson, too, was a victim of a different kind of taunting. "[People] would throw toilet paper at my house or throw eggs at my door," she once said.

Adds Alba to the U.K.'s Daily Mirror, "I was bullied so badly my dad used to have to walk me into school so I didn't get attacked."
Standing Up to Bullies
But bullies don't always go down without a fight. Several stars had the courage to stand up for themselves.

Eva Mendes says she put an end to bullying in her life. "When I finally stood up to my bully, that's when things changed for me," she told PEOPLE.

Eva Longoria

The exact moment Eva Longoria became the country's water-cooler topic can be easily pinpointed: It happened when her Desperate Housewives character, Gabrielle Solis, seduced her teen gardener in the first season.

Soon after, Longoria appeared on the cover of nearly every women's and men's magazine, which blew her up – literally! – with a cover of Maxim that one could reportedly see from outer space. But it was the actress's fairy tale wedding to NBA player Tony Parker in 2007 that really grabbed headlines, with the pair tying the knot twice in Parker's native France.

Three years after their lavish nuptials, the Desperate Housewife filed for divorce from the San Antonio Spur in November 2010.

Emily Blunt

The fashionista flick The Devil Wears Prada was Emily Blunt's snarky introduction to American audiences. As the self-important "first assistant" to Meryl Streep's Devil, the then-unknown British actress commanded the screen, wittingly bossing around Anne Hathaway.

Before sparring with The Devil, Blunt built her reputation in British film and TV, appearing in the award-winning drama My Summer of Love and earning a Golden Globe for the TV movie Gideon's Daughter.

Blunt, who has since shared the screen with Tom Hanks (Charlie Wilson's War) and Amy Adams (Sunshine Cleaning), dated crooner Michael Bublé for three years before marrying The Office's John Krasinski.

Elisabeth Hasselbeck

Elisabeth Hasselbeck Lands
Spot on Good Morning
America
She co-hosts The View, but Elisabeth Hasselbeck isn't resting on her laurels: The Daytime Emmy winner is joining Good Morning America as a contributor.

Hasselbeck, who has three kids with her husband NFL quarterback Tim Hasselbeck, will primarily cover hot-button family and lifestyle issues, according to ABC News.

"I am thrilled to join the Good Morning America team," she said in a statement Friday, "and I am thankful for this opportunity to raise awareness and explore the most important issues facing parents and children."

Her first report, which airs Monday, follows Hasselbeck, 33, as she investigates the trend of kids who get tattoos.

The tribe has spoken – and Elisabeth Hasselbeck isn't going anywhere. More than any other contestant in the Survivor's history, this spunky, sporty standout from 2001's The Australian Outback has parlayed her 15 minutes of reality TV fame into a lasting career.

After her final-four finish, the Puma shoe designer landed a Style Network hosting gig and, soon afterward, a coveted co-host spot on ABC's The View. Once on the talk show, she quickly established herself as the lone conservative voice, often clashing with Rosie O'Donnell – who prematurely left the show in 2007 after their infamous on-air confrontation. But the mother of three continued to reign in the gabfest arena, winning an Outstanding Talk Show Host Emmy with the ladies of The View in 2009.

Elin Nordegren

Best known as Tiger Woods's stunning and fiercely guarded wife, Elin Nordegren found herself thrust into the very public spotlight after a fateful late-night car crash in 2009 exposed her husband's multiple infidelities – and double life.

Before the cheating scandal, Woods and Nordegren, a former bikini model and au pair, seemed like the perfect couple, living a quiet life in Florida with their two children, daughter Sam and son Charlie.

Introduced by Swedish golfer Jesper Parnevik in the summer of 2001, Nordegren and Woods capped off their three-year courtship with a lavish, ultra-private wedding in Barbados.

But by 2010, Nordegren and the embattled golfer were living separate lives. Finally, after months of speculation, Nordegren and Woods confirmed their marriage was "irretrievably broken," and finalized their divorce in August 2010.

Drew Barrymore

Movie star at age 7. Drinker at 9. Drug user at 10. Rehabilitated bestselling memoirist at 14. The scion of an acting dynasty, Drew Barrymore rose above her early notoriety, transforming into a Hollywood power player as an actor and producer.

Steven Spielberg cast her in his 1982 classic E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial, and she soon became the youngest person ever to host Saturday Night Live. Through her company Flower Films, Barrymore has cultivated some of her most successful films (Charlie's Angels, Donnie Darko) herself.

Impulsive marriages to bar owner Jeremy Thomas and gross-out comedian Tom Green didn't last. Barrymore, who nabbed the title as PEOPLE's Most Beautiful in 2007, went on to date Strokes drummer Fabrizio Moretti and actor Justin Long.

Charlie Sheen and Denise Richards

Charlie Sheen Leaves
Hospital for Home
What on Earth happened to Charlie?

The one person with many of the details, Sheen's ex, Denise Richards, doesn't want to say too much so that she can spare their daughters Sam, 6, and Lola, 5, who were reportedly nearby when their father was taken to the hospital.

"We're in an amazing place, we've been getting along great for the last year, year-and-a-half," Richards, 39, said on The Joy Behar Show Tuesday. "We're doing our best, so as far as that situation, I'm trying to protect the girls from it as much as possible."

Sheen, 45, was found in a New York hotel room and hospitalized for what police sources say was intoxication and what his rep says was an allergic reaction to medication. Richards declined to reveal what she saw, but said, "I did help him at the hospital."

Sheen spent all day there Tuesday. "Charlie Sheen has been discharged from a hospital in N.Y. and is returning to L.A. today," his rep says. "Everything else is speculation."

Richards told Behar that any details of the incident would have to come from Sheen himself. Richards is most concerned with what their children might hear.

"My daughters are five and six years old," she explained. "And they're at an age when they can start to understand, they have no idea what went on and a lot of ... our stuff happened when they were much younger, which I'm so grateful for."

The relatively unknown Denise Richards made an indelible impression on male audiences with her infamous threesome with Matt Dillon and Neve Campbell in 1998's Wild Things.

With her lusty image in tow, she became a Bond girl in 1999's The World Is Not Enough, and after working with Charlie Sheen on Spin City, Richards married him. While several months pregnant with their second child, she filed for divorce and publicly battled Sheen for custody of their two daughters.

Tabloid attention grew when Richards soon began dating Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora, who at that time was married to her former friend Heather Locklear. Although she and Sambora didn't last, Richards headed to reality TV, starring on E!'s Denise Richards: It's Complicated, before heading to ABC's Dancing with the Stars in 2009.

Demi Lovato

Demi Lovato 'Knows She
Needs Help' Fighting Her
Demons
As she enters her second week of treatment for "emotional and physical issues," Demi Lovato is determined to beat her inner demons.

"Demi knows she needs the help and knows that she is where she needs to be right now," a source close to the family tells PEOPLE.

Sources tell PEOPLE the 18-year-old star was "out of control" long before she punched a female dancer, whom she thought squealed on her for partying. "This is a girl with emotional problems who has been fighting demons her whole life," a source close to the family stressed.

Lovato is at a facility that specializes in treating adolescents and adult women with a variety of issues, including eating disorders, mood disorders and substance abuse problems.

"Demi is not in treatment for drugs. She is there to deal with emotional and physical issues she's been battling her whole life," a source close to the family says, noting Lovato has long struggled with eating disorders and cutting.

As she focuses on getting better, her family is firmly behind her. This past weekend, her stepfather Eddie and mom Dianna De La Garza and her sisters, Dallas, 22, and Madison, 8, visited Demi on both Saturday and Sunday, the source tells PEOPLE. "It marked the first time the entire family had been together since Demi started treatment."

So how is Lovato? "She is determined to get better. She recognizes that she has a difficult road ahead," says the family source, adding, "Demi is committed to her treatment


At 6, Demi Lovato played with PBS's famed purple dinosaur on Barney & Friends, and met future bestie, castmate Selena Gomez. Years later, the two teens took the Disney Channel by storm, with Lovato landing a breakout role in the Jonas Brothers TV movie Camp Rock.

After proving her vocal talent in Camp Rock, Lovato toured with her megastar costars, released two hit albums, Don't Forget, starred in her own Disney series, Sonny with a Chance, and briefly called Joe Jonas her "perfect" boyfriend.

Dakota Fanning

How Dakota Fanning
Balances Hollywood and
High School
She may have started out a child actress, but Dakota Fanning hasn't given up one quintessential part of her teenage years: the prom.

"[I went with] a group of friends," the actress told PEOPLE while hosting the UCLA 5K Run/Walk on May 23 benefiting the Child Life/Child Development program at Mattel Children's Hospital. "I think you put more effort into getting ready before than actually you spend at the place. But it was so much fun."

Fanning, 16, currently a junior and a varsity cheerleader at an L.A. high school, says she's "lucky" to be able to have a movie career while going to school – where she isn't treated differently because of her Hollywood status.

"I've been able to have a really great experience and it's almost over. I can't believe it!" she says.

Outside of school, Fanning's enjoyed another kind of experience: Being part of the Twilight worldwide phenomenon as the villainous Volturi Jane.

"It's so fun," says Fanning about filming with the cast in Vancouver. "I've done a few movies with Kristen Stewart now, and she's become one of my best friends, so it's always fun to be with her. The cast is also fun and so nice and [we] have really become very close."

Working with Stewart on another film, The Runaways, in which the two stars shared a kiss, also brought them close, says Fanning.

"We have a really close bond in the film so it allowed us to have a really close bond in real life as well," she says.

As for whether she's Team Edward or Team Jacob, Fanning is playing it neutral and staying tight-lipped.

"I will get in trouble if I [picked] one," she says.


Doe-eyed Dakota Fanning has been charming audiences since she was a little girl, but after darker roles in The Twilight Saga and The Runaways, the teen star is breaking through the child star mold.

At age 7, Fanning scored her big break opposite Sean Penn in I Am Sam, becoming the youngest performer ever to be nominated for an individual SAG Award. She then spent her childhood building a résumé most actresses spend decades accomplishing – working with heavy hitters like Denzel Washington, Robert De Niro, Tom Cruise and Julia Roberts.

With an already impressive body of work and the Twilight series under her belt, Fanning manages to maintain a "normal life" away from Hollywood at a private school in Los Angeles, where she's on the varsity cheering squad.

Claire Danes

It took 19 episodes as the angsty, insecure Angela Chase on ABC's beloved teen drama My So-Called Life to launch Claire Danes' career as one of her generation's most acclaimed actresses.

At 10, the native New Yorker studied method acting at the prestigious Lee Strasberg Theater Institute. At 17, she played Juliet to Leonardo DiCaprio's Romeo in Baz Luhrmann's take on William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. And at the height of her career, the in-demand actress put filmmaking on hold to attend Yale University.

After two years, Danes left the Ivy League to return to acting, with starring roles in Steve Martin's Shopgirl, the Broadway revival of Pygmalion, and her Emmy-winning performance in HBO's Temple Grandin. Off-screen, Danes found happiness with Evening costar Hugh Dancy, whom she married in 2009.

Christina Aguilera and Pink

Christina Aguilera Invites
Pregnant Pink on Future
Play Dates
Now that Pink has announced her pregnancy, she and Christina Aguilera have a lot more in common than just being a couple of world-famous singers.

The two divas "bumped into" each other on the air Friday when they were scheduled to do back-to-back interviews with Ryan Seacrest on his KIIS-FM radio show.

With Aguilera about to sign off, Seacrest asked her to say hello to Pink on the other line, who noted Aguilera – mom to a 2-year-old boy, Max – could probably offer her some "mommy advice."

PHOTOS: Who's Due Next?


"Congratulations! I just heard the amazing news," Aguilera replied. "I'm so happy for you. Join the club."

"I feel like I really am joining a club," Pink said.

Aguilera, 29, then proceeded to interview her fellow singer – whose doctors believe is expecting a girl – about her pregnancy. "How are you feeling? Do you have morning sickness? How's it feeling for you?"

"No, unfortunately," Pink said as Seacrest stayed mum in the background. "I feel like if I had morning sickness I would have lost some weight. But I've kept everything down."

"It's good," Aguilera insisted. "You're eating for two now – use it while you can, right?"

Aguilera later suggested that they get their kids together down the line, saying "We have to have play dates." Pink chuckled at the suggestion, and Aguilera picked up on her hesitation – but Pink, 31, explained it wasn't personal.

"The reason I laughed is I was with these two girls last night who used to be best friends until their kids started fighting," Pink said. "It's pretty funny what that does to people."

Aguilera agreed friends can cross boundaries, saying, "Don't discipline my kid, thanks."

Added Pink, "What if your kid punches my kid? Then what happens?"

"Yeah, really messed up. And the moms start battling it out!" Aguilera said.

Not Jillian's Fault
When Seacrest took over, Pink absolved Jillian Barberie Reynolds, who leaked news of her pregnancy on Twitter, telling Seacrest that actually, "It was my drummer's big mouth … [He] beat her to it."

Seacrest also asked her to elaborate on why she's "terrified" of having a girl.

"I feel like I 'get' boys," Pink explained. "I've always been a boy's girl. Boys are easy, they just break stuff."

As for the father of her unborn child, motocross racer Carey Hart, Pink says it was a given she'd have kids with him. "Two weeks after I met him I knew it," she said, and so did he.

"We were at Macaroni Grill – we were going super romantic – and he was like so, you wanna have kids? And I was like no, I'm 22," she says.

But after nine years together, now they're both ready.


It was the battle of the ex-Mouseketeers: Christina Aguilera versus Britney Spears, both up for the 2000 Grammy for Best New Artist. Spears was the heavy favorite, but with her undeniably powerful voice, Aguilera won the award.

The pint-sized singer pulled away from the rest of her pop princess contemporaries with such hits as "Beautiful" and made eye-catching videos, including the one for "Dirrty," where a chaps- and bikini-clad Aguilera calls on backup dancers to get "just a little naughty." Her pin-up girl looks helped her land campaigns for Versace, M.A.C. and Skechers.

Offstage, Aguilera found love with executive Jordan Bratman, whom she married in 2005 and welcomed son Max in 2008. But in October 2010, the singer filed to end her nearly five-year marriage.

Cheryl Burke

As the first breakout star of ABC's Dancing with the Stars, pro hoofer Cheryl Burke proved that ballroom dancing (even with its obscene amounts of sequins) could be sexy – and entertaining.

The back-to-back DWTS title winner began studying ballet at age 4 before competing in the world of ballroom at 13. After becoming the World Cup Professional Rising Star Latin Champion in 2005, Burke joined the second season of DWTS, winning her first disco-ball trophy with celeb partner Drew Lachey. The following season, she won her second title with NFL legend Emmitt Smith.

Burke, who dated actor Matthew Lawrence for a year, shot down reports of having an affair with Lachey and fought back when bloggers criticized her weight.

Charlize Theron

The glamorous South African actress Charlize Theron was typecast as the beautiful love interest for years before transforming herself into an unattractive sociopath in Monster. The beyond ugly role earned Theron a Best Actress Oscar.

Prior to her portrayal of real-life serial-killer Aileen Wuornos, Theron mainly appeared in supporting roles in mediocre Hollywood fare, such as The Devil's Advocate and The Legend of Bagger Vance. She turned in her second Oscar-nominated performance in 2005 for North Country.

Theron, who dated Irish actor Stuart Townsend for nearly nine years, was named Esquire's "Sexiest Woman Alive" in 2007.

Catherine Zeta-Jones

Steven Spielberg saw Catherine Zeta-Jones in the 1996 TV movie Titanic, and said he "immediately sensed that she was worth rescuing from that ship." He cast her in The Mask of Zorro, where she captivated viewers worldwide, including future husband Michael Douglas.

A child performer in Wales, Zeta-Jones sang and danced as the lead in a London revival of 42nd Street and later became a U.K. sexpot in the Brit TV hit The Darling Buds of May. However, her sexy pairing with Antonio Banderas in Zorro turned her into a star in America. She has since acted with Julia Roberts and George Clooney and won an Oscar for playing Chicago murderess Velma Kelly. The stunning mother of two has since made five appearances on PEOPLE's Most Beautiful list.

In 1998, Aussie newcomer Cate Blanchett shaved back her hairline to create a commanding forehead (and performance) in the biopic Elizabeth. She nabbed her first Academy Award nomination for playing the Virgin Queen and eventually won the Oscar in 2004 for taking on screen legend Katharine Hepburn in The Aviator.

Although Blanchett has been named one of PEOPLE's Most Beautiful and is applauded for her risk-taking red carpet style, she considers having an "actor's face" the "greatest compliment." The risk-taking actress has morphed into folk singer Bob Dylan, reprised her star-making role in Elizabeth: The Golden Age, and played a villain in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull with Harrison Ford and Shia LaBeouf. However, the mother of three plans to settle in Sydney to codirect a theatre company with her writer-director husband.

Carmen Electra

Carmen Electra: The
Wedding Non-Planner
Carmen Electra and Rob Patterson have been engaged for nearly two years, but don't look for a wedding any time soon.

"We’re happy the way things are," she told PEOPLE last week at the Swagg VIP Kid Rock Concert at Las Vegas’s Hard Rock Hotel. "We’re not really putting that added, extra pressure on the relationship.

So will there ever be a wedding between her and the former Korn guitarist? "It’s possible," said Electra, 37, who has been married twice before. "If we decide that, then we will get married, but we’re just happy being together."








Carmen Electra To Star in Vegas Show

With one Playboy centerfold set to headline a topless Vegas show, another one is following to guest star in her own risque act in Sin City.

A rep for Crazy Horse Paris, the a topless cabaret show at MGM Grand, tells PEOPLE that Carmen Electra has signed on to star in a week's worth of shows in July.

"She's not going topless, but she will be wearing very little. She's going to wear whatever she is comfortable with," the rep says.

Carmen will star in the show in July – the same time Holly Madison will be baring her bosom across the Strip in her own show.

"It is such an iconic show and I was in awe after seeing it for the first time," Electra says in statement. "The dancers and the performances are so sensual and sexy."

A cabaret-style show, Crazy Horse's Las Vegas production uses only dancers who have performed with famed Crazy Horse troupe in Paris, though they often get guest performers, such as Electra, to take the stage with them.

Cameron Diaz

One of the truly great film moments from late '90's: Cameron Diaz pulling off the gross-out "hair-gel" scene in There's Something About Mary. The model-turned-actress proved she could laugh at herself and needn't rely on her good looks.

Diaz's work runs the gamut from action flicks (Charlie's Angel's) to more serious fare (Gangs of New York) and even animation (Shrek), helping her become one of Hollywood's most powerful and highest-paid actresses. As for her personal life, after quietly dating Matt Dillon and Jared Leto, the blonde beauty dated younger pop star Justin Timberlake for nearly four years.

Brooke Shields

Brooke Shields Breaks Her
Hand During Rehearsals
Actors are told to "break a leg" for good luck. But a hand, too?

Brooke Shields has been sporting a cast lately, and her rep tells PEOPLE it's the result of a mishap while preparing for a Los Angeles stage show.

"Brooke broke her hand during rehearsal for the musical Leap of Faith, her rep says. "The cast will be off before previews on Sept. 11. It was a minor break and did not affect the production schedule."

Shields, 45, is starring with Raúl Esparaza in the show at the Ahmanson Theatre. Opening night is Oct. 3.


Before Britney and Lindsay, there was thick browed, long-legged Lolita Brooke Shields. Pretty Baby, The Blue Lagoon and her innuendo-packed Calvin Klein ads made her the teenage seductress of the 80s – a reputation perpetuated by high-profile dalliances with John Travolta and John F. Kennedy, Jr.

But Shields had more to offer than the persona crafted by her stage "momager" Teri: she graduated from Princeton in 1987, headlined her own critically applauded NBC sitcom, Suddenly Susan, and lashed out at Scientologist movie star Tom Cruise in defense of anti-depressants, which she used to treat the postpartum depression she suffered after having her daughter Rowan in 2003.

Cruise eventually apologized and Shields happily gave birth to her second daughter in 2006. The following year, after guest appearances on Entourage and Nip/Tuck, Shields announced her return to NBC for Candace Bushnell's (author of Sex and the City) Lipstick Jungle.

Britney Spears


Pop superstardom began for Britney Spears in 1998 when she sported Lolita-like pigtails and naughty schoolgirl garb for "...Baby One More Time." Since then, she has generated record-shattering sales and made iconic music videos and performances.

After losing her much publicized virginity to Justin Timberlake and embarking on a 55-hour marriage with a pre-fame pal, Spears married dancer Kevin Federline in 2004. The union produced two sons and a 2006 divorce.

Post-K-Fed, Spears exhibited some bizarre behavior that led to a rocky stint in rehab. After losing custody of her two sons, the ailing pop princess bounced back emotionally with the help of her parents and made a career comeback with her No. 1 album, Circus.

Blake Lively

When Blake Lively auditioned for 2005's The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, her resume boasted one credit: playing the tooth fairy in one of her father's films. But the unknown with an acting pedigree (her father is an actor-director and her mother is an acting coach) landed the role of leggy, soccer-loving Bridget.

Today, the classic California blonde headlines Gossip Girl, the CW's teen drama about wealthy Upper East Siders in New York. Lively plays bad "it" girl-gone-good Serena van der Woodsen in the glossy guilty pleasure, which costars Chace Crawford, Leighton Meester and former flame Penn Badgley.

Jay-Z and Beyoncé

Jay-Z Says Beyoncé Is Not Pregnant

Jay-Z has one (final) word (for now) on wife Beyoncé's possible pregnancy: No.

"I really sit back and wonder when people are going to stop," he said on Howard Stern's radio show Monday, when asked about the rumors by the show's co-host Robin Quivers. "The day that happens, I don't think Newsday is going to know before my grandmother."

The rapper, who is notorious for keeping mum on his personal life, added, "Everyone knows I'm married, I just don't discuss it because it's a part of my life that I'd rather keep private."

Meanwhile, Jay-Z was happy to elaborate when asked about his controversial pal Kanye West. "It was bad timing, but it was absolutely an honest emotion," he said of West's statement that George W. Bush "hates black people."

Continues Jay-Z, "We all felt like that. We didn't feel like Katrina was a natural disaster. We felt like it was an attack on black people."

Rachael Ray

Rachael Ray Donates
$775,000 to Pets in Need
You'd normally find Rachael Ray in the kitchen, whipping up one of her favorite delicious dishes for a studio audience. But at the moment, the TV chef is catering to a different crowd: needy pets.

This holiday season, Ray is donating 100 percent of proceeds from her Nutrish and Just 6 pet food and treat lines to animal shelters nationwide, giving away a total of $775,000 before Dec. 31.

"If you want to look at the state of humans, you should look at the state of animals first," Ray tells PEOPLE.com. "People are choosing whether or not they can feed an animal and their family. And every shelter coast-to-coast is stuffed."

Currently on the road to promote her newest cookbook, Look + Cook, Ray is also sponsoring pop-up adoption events for the shelters she's supporting in the hopes of raising awareness for her cause. "We only give to no-kill shelters," she says. "But we give to small and large; no one's excluded. We want to keep as many animals alive as possible."

Ray, mom to pit bull pup Isaboo, started her charitable giving in 2008 as a way to help all the animals she couldn't physically save.

"My husband and I can sleep at night knowing that our small space is probably wrong for a lot of animals, but we can maybe inspire people [who have space] to bring a lot of animals home," she says. "It's us trying to problem-solve that very discussion, 'Why can't we do more?' "

Instead of asking famous friends to donate, Ray decided to develop her food and treat lines (with the help of Ainsworth Pet Nutrition) and give away her own take from it. "It's a constant stream of income, and a source of relief for people that are exhausted, trying to care for their own families and care for animals," she says.

For those who'd like to help, but can't necessarily adopt an animal of their own, Ray suggests starting small. "When you're out grocery shopping for your family, maybe you can put a can of cat or dog food in your cart and bring it to an animal relief center," she says. "Maybe you can take your kids by [a shelter] and have them donate something basic. If you can give one or two dollars, or even 10 dollars, to charity, it's a great step."

Dancing With the Stars

Jodie Sweetin Has Dancing
with the Stars Dreams
While Bristol Palin and Jennifer Grey battle it out for this season's Dancing with the Stars title, another star is hoping to make her own bid for the ballroom.

"I really want to do the show," Jodie Sweetin tells PEOPLE. "I just want to dance, but the fact that it would be on camera, and I'd get to have my hair and makeup done and wear those costumes? Awesome!"

It wouldn't be the first time she's danced on television. Sweetin, who shows off her baby girl Beatrix in this week's issue of PEOPLE, began taking tap and ballet classes as a 3-year-old girl, and when she starred on Full House, the writers would incorporate dancing into her role.

"Stephanie was always dancing," she recalls. "A week or two before a dancing episode, the writers would say, okay, you and your teacher choreograph a routine."

These days, Sweetin and her boyfriend Morty Coyle follow Dancing closely, and Coyle has begun something of a grassroots campaign to try to get his girlfriend on the show.

"We saw a 'Get Jodie Sweetin on Dancing with the Stars' group on Facebook," says Coyle. "And I thought, wow, all you have to do is 'like' this. So I started a trending topic on Twitter. It's her dream. Hey, Betty White got on SNL!"

Of course, Dancing is on ABC, just like Full House, so "this would give them free reign to play all those clips of Stephanie dancing," he jokes.

Should she get the call she's hoping for, Sweetin says she's already got an ideal partner and a favorite dance picked out.

"I really like Derek Hough," she says. "Maks is good too – my mom loves him. But I like Derek's style and his technique. And I really enjoy Latin ballroom. I've always wanted to learn the Argentine tango."

She'll probably make quick work of it, too.

"If I did do the show, I would ask, 'How many hours did the winners rehearse?'" says Sweetin. "Then I'd want to do that, plus an hour. I would be that determined."

Derek, consider yourself warned.
