  • Stephanie Sokolinski Seen Kissing Girlfriend, “Twilight” Star Kristen Stewart, in Paris

    Stephanie Sokolinski and her girlfriend, Twilight star Kristen Stewart, are taking very seriously the notion that Paris is the “City of Love.” The two were spotted kissing on a Paris street.

    A French musician who goes by “SoKo,” Stephanie Sokolinski has long identified as a lesbian. She recently told the lesbian/bisexual pop culture site After Ellen that she has “liked girls since I was fucking born.”

    Kristen Stewart, who hasn’t been seriously linked to anyone since she dated her Twilight costar Robert Pattinson (whom she cheated on), told Nylon last year that she isn’t hiding anything with regard to her sexuality.

    “If you feel like you really want to define yourself, and you have the ability to articulate those parameters and that in itself defines you, then do it,” Stewart said. “But I am an actress, man. I live in the fucking ambiguity of this life and I love it. I don’t feel like it would be true for me to be like, ‘I’m coming out! No, I do a job. Until I decide that I’m starting a foundation or that I have some perspective or opinion that other people should be receiving…I don’t. I’m just a kid making movies.”

    The Paris sighting wasn’t the first for Stephanie Sokolinski and Kristen Stewart. Earlier in March they were seen together in L.A.

    Do you suppose this “thing” between Kristen Stewart and Stephanie Sokolinski is real? Or are the two just casually dating and enjoying a bit of a fling.

  • Peter Facinelli and “Blindspot” Star Jaimie Alexander Break Their Engagement

    Peter Facinelli–once married to actress Jennie Garth–and NBC’s Blindspot star Jaimie Alexander have broken their engagement. The two are citing living on opposite coasts as the reason behind their split.

    In a statement to Us Weekly, the former couple announced the end of their relationship through a rep.

    “Due to conflicting family and work commitments on opposite coasts, and after much consideration, Peter and Jaimie have chosen to part ways amicably and remain good friends,” the statement reads.

    Jaimie Alexander and Peter Facinelli became engaged last March. She spent lengthy periods of time in New York City, filming Blindspot, while he remained in L.A.

    The two went public with their relationship back in November of 2012, just a few months after Peter Facinelli ended his marriage to Jennie Garth. Facinelli and Garth have three children together.

    Peter Facinelli is known for his role as Dr. Carlisle Cullen in the Twilight series of vampire films. He and Jaimie Alexander appeared together on Nurse Jackie.

    Are you surprised to learn of Peter Facinelli and Jaimie Alexander’s broken engagement? Do you think something more than the stress of a bicoastal relationship is in play here?

    Jaimie Alexander will soon return to TV when the second season of Blindspot premieres on February 29.

  • Stephenie Meyer’s New Twilight Book Changes a Lot – Including the Main Characters’ Genders

    Stephenie Meyer, who transfixed millions of teens, tweens, and a decent amount of adults, with her vampire love story Twilight, has a new project for hungry fans.

    Can you believe it’s been ten years since Twilight? That’s right, the first novel in the series was published in October of 2005.

    And in honor of the anniversary, Meyer is publishing a version of the story that turns everything upside down.

    Life and Death: Twilight Reimagined features a human named Beau and a vampire named Edythe.

    Did you catch that? The main characters from Twilight have received a gender swap.

    Meyer says there are some key differences – mostly in the characters’ personalties, revealed as the story progresses. But most of the plot remains the same.

    “The further you get in, the more it changes because the personalities get a little bit different,” said Meyer. “But it starts out very similar and really, it really is the same story because it’s just a love story and it doesn’t matter who’s the boy and who’s the girl, it still works out.”

    Meyer had only planned to pen a couple of chapters with the new characters, but wound up writing an entire novel.

    “I wonder if it will change how people look at Bella a little bit, to see her as him. I do feel like it’s really very much the same thing so I guess my hope is that maybe the younger readers will be reintroduced because a lot of my readers, you know, they’re all 10 years older now and so there’s a whole new generation.”

    Maybe Life and Death: Twilight Reimagined will help fans cope with the fact that they never got Midnight Sun, the Twilight story told from Edward’s perspective. That project was abandoned in 2008.

  • Stephanie Meyer Rewrote “Twilight” In A Surprising Way For 10th Anniversary

    Stephanie Meyer isn’t just the author of the Twilight series, but the books are certainly what made her a household name. Now, ten years after the release of the first book, Meyer has decided to rewrite the story in a very surprising way.

    “I wanted to do something fun for the 10th anniversary and the publisher wanted like a foreword and I thought, ‘Well, maybe something more interesting,’” Meyer said on Good Morning America.

    Stephanie said she was curious to see how fans would react to a gender-swapped story; that is, if Bella were actually the guy in the love story. It’s a question she’s asked herself since the book began to receive criticism for Bella’s “damsel in distress” attitude.

    “It’s always bothered me a little bit. Because anyone surrounded by superheroes is going to be… in distress. We don’t have the powers. I thought, ‘What if we switched it around a bit and see how a boy does,’ and, you know, it’s about the same.”

    The best-selling author says the idea began small but ended up becoming an entire 442-page book titled Life and Death: Twilight Reimagined, which follows human Beau and his vampire love, Edyth. While the story was altered a bit from the original to allow for the gender swap, it follows the same path.

    “The further you get in, the more it changes because the personalities get a little bit different. But it starts out very similar and really, it really is the same story because it’s just a love story and it doesn’t matter who’s the boy and who’s the girl, it still works out,” Stephanie Meyer said. “I wonder if it will change how people look at Bella a little bit, to see her as him. I do feel like it’s really very much the same thing so I guess my hope is that maybe the younger readers will be reintroduced because a lot of my readers, you know, they’re all 10 years older now and so there’s a whole new generation.”

  • Robert Pattinson Gets a Taste of Being Paparazzi for a Change in His New Film

    Robert Pattinson has done his time as a heartthrob on the big screen. Nowadays, when he is deciding which movie roles to take, he doesn’t give nearly as much consideration to whether his adoring fans will approve.

    “I will go through periods where I will think, ‘Oh, maybe I should do a commercial movie,’” Pattinson said recently. “And then I just think, someone gave me a really great piece of advice – someone from my agency, weirdly – they said the only clients that are happy are the ones that just do what they want to do. So I just kind of do everything for myself.”

    Robert Pattinson, famous for the Twilight series of films, will star in the film Life as a photographer name Dennis Stock. The film is about the photographer’s relationship with Hollywood icon James Dean.

    Pattinson spoke about how it felt to be the target of all the adulation that came his way in the wake of the Twilight series.

    “The first period of getting famous was incredibly strange to me and really fun at the beginning because you didn’t realize the consequences of anything,” Pattinson said. “You could say or do whatever you wanted and it just didn’t matter.”

    “I only really realized what being famous was about three years after I got famous, four years afterwards.”

    Because of his status as a super-famous celebrity, Pattinson has been stalked by paparazzi for years. In his new role, he got to see what life might be like for those guys behind the flashbulbs.

    “It is interesting to feel the power trip, especially when I was shooting the scene on the red carpet, when you are part of the massive throng of people, and not only are you part of the crowd and hidden but you have something you can hide your own face [with],” Pattinson said. “You just see all the pressure is on someone else. It is kind of nice, you feel all secure in your little pack. It is very different.”

  • Nikki Reed: She and Hubby Ian Somerhalder Are ‘Practicing’ for Having Children

    Nikki Reed and Ian Somerhalder are newlyweds, and in many ways–the best ways, in fact–their honeymoon is still in progress.

    As with many newly married couples, the question often posed to Nikki Reed and Ian Somerhalder is one about having children. Do they plan to have kids–and if so, how long do they plan on waiting?

    During a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight, Ian Somerhalder offered an excellent answer to the rather personal question.

    “Oh, hell yes! Absolutely,” he said–joking about how he actually likes the process right now far more than the result.

    “You know, it’s all about practice. It’s not practice makes perfect–it’s perfect practice,” he joked.

    Nikki Reed, with a husband as hot as Ian Somerhalder, no doubt completely agrees.

    The Twilight star and the Vampire Diaries hunk tied the knot back in April, and while they plan to have children, they’re practicing–as Ian said–and serving as parents to their many pets.

    Ian was recently questioned about allegedly professing his love for ex-girlfriend and former Vampire Diaries costar Nina Dobrev. It turns out his Twitter account was hacked, so there’s no scandal regarding his ex-girlfriend making its round as fodder for the media.

    Nikki Reed surely knows how her husband feels about her anyway, so she likely wasn’t worried in the least. After all, they’re busy these days, “practicing.”

    Ian Somerhalder says he and Nikki are excited about adding real children to their mix, however. He says he’s so excited, in fact, that he might not even wait for Nikki Reed to carry his baby.

    “I’m actually pregnant right now,” he joked.

    This newlywed phase of marriage is a lot of fun for most couples. When do you suppose Ian Somerhalder and Nikki Reed will actually settle down and start a family? Are they waiting for “practice” to simply make “perfect?”

    What a perfect baby theirs will be–if he or she is even half as gorgeous as his or her parents, Ian Somerhalder and Nikki Reed.

  • Nikki Reed, Ian Somerhalder: First Photos from Wedding Hit Media

    Nikki Reed and Ian Somerhalder tied the knot back in April, but the wedding photos are just now hitting the media.

    The Twilight star and the Vampire Diaries hunk wed in a secret ceremony at Topanga Canyon. Vampire Diaries costars Kat Graham, Paul Wesley, Matt Davis, and Phoebe Tonkin were there to share in the big day.

    In an interview for the October/November issue of Brides magazine, Nikki Reed dishes on her rustic wedding day and shares pictures of herself with her handsome groom.

    “We really wanted our wedding to be small, intimate, and about the two of us,” she shared.

    To ensure that they could pull off the surprise wedding, Ian Somerhalder and Nikki Reed invited their closest friends to a housewarming party. Upon arrival at a shuttle spot, the whole gang was then transported to Topanga Canyon.

    “We didn’t want our loved ones to show up with any expectations or squeezed into formal attire,” Nikki Reed says in the interview.

    The couple wanted a low-key feel, and enlisted wedding planner Andrea Freeman to help them combine their love of music festivals with the flavor of Ian Somerhalder’s native Louisiana.

    “We wanted a Louisiana backyard-barbecue feel, with food stations and a dance floor for our closest friends and family,” Nikki Reed said of their outdoor reception. “It really was all about the food, the dancing, and the love.”

    Noted soul singer Ellis Hall performed at the reception.

    “Ellis Hall sang the night away,” Nikki adds. “Live music is so important to us, and we couldn’t imagine anyone but Ellis there with us.”

    Nikki Reed’s wedding gown was designed by Claire Pettibone.

    “Claire was an absolute dream to work with,” Reed said. “Not only is she an amazing designer, but she has the most wonderful energy. We were on the same page from the moment we met.”

    The issue of Brides with Nikki Reed’s interview and loads of pictures from her marriage to Ian Somerhalder hits news stands on September 8th.

  • Nikki Reed, Who Will Soon Join Cast of ‘Sleepy Hollow,’ Rushed To Hospital

    Nikki Reed, who has joined the cast of Sleepy Hollow, was hospitalized on Thursday for dehydration and exhaustion.

    The Twilight actress and new wife to Vampire Diaries actor Ian Somerhalder was rushed to a San Diego hospital after falling ill at Comic-Con. Although Nikki Reed is said to be doing much better, she told doctors that she was suffering from throat problems. After completing some tests, it was determined that dehydration and exhaustion explained her symptoms.

    A source close Nikki told New York Daily News that Nikki Reed, 27,thought she had gotten sick because she had been flying so much lately.

    “Nikki said that it was probably because she’s been flying so much for work. She’s been to 20 cities in eight days for work obligations,” said the source.

    Despite being kept overnight for observation, Nikki jumped right back into her busy life. After heading to Atlanta to spend the night with husband Ian Somerhalder, who is currently filming Vampire Diaries there, she headed to Nashville to attend a launch party for Bonnie Rose white whisky.

    Meanwhile, Nikki Reed recently announce that she would be joining Sleepy Hollow for its third season, playing the part of Betsy Ross. Variety first confirmed that Reed would be taking on the role as the Ross, known best for sewing America’s first flag.

    “We are all very excited to welcome Nikki Reed into the world of Sleepy Hollow,” Len Wiseman, co-creator and executive producer, told the Hollywood Reporter. “Nikki’s the perfect choice to bring a smart and sexy edge to our show’s twisted version of American icon, Betsy Ross.”

  • Kristen Stewart Says She Went ‘Feral’ After Cheating On Pattinson

    Kristen Stewart has been the butt of many jokes. There is no shortage of cracks about her expressionless face in movies. But Stewart got a lot of attention and adulation for her parts in the Twilight series of films.

    That celebrity was stoked even more by the fact that she and her Twilight co-star Robert Pattinson were in a real-life romance. Then came the news that Kristen Stewart had cheated on Robert Pattinson with a married man, director Rupert Sanders. The two worked together on Snow White and the Huntsman.

    The news rocked the tabloid world, and the world seemed to withdraw all love for Kristen Stewart. Now, three years after the scandal. Kristen Stewart is talking about it, without really talking about it directly.

    “I lit my universe on fire,” Stewart tells Marie Claire of her actions in years past, “and I watched it burn.”

    Stewart expands on that thought.

    “Speaking very candidly, it was a really traumatic period in my early 20s that kick-started something in me that was a bit more … feral.”

    How did she weather through all the hate directed at her during that time? She was the girl who broke the heart of a heart-throb who seemed to worship the ground she walked on, even when so many girls were screaming that she was not worthy of him.

    “The public kind of burned me at the stake,” she acknowledges. “But that’s OK, I can take it. I’m not dead.”

    In fact, Stewart thinks that the experience has left her better, more able to handle herself now.

    “I’m really proud that I am able to move forward and not fall into every mental crater,” Kristen Stewart says. “That’s a new thing for me. Age has made me smarter and calmer. And it is fucking awesome.”

    Stewart’s struggles and demons go back further than her botching of what seemed to be a storybook romance with Pattinson. She was a tomboy growing up. But when she hit age 13, that role no longer fit, and the boys noticed.

    “All of a sudden, it wasn’t cool to be one of the boys anymore,” Stewart recalls.

    A guy friend once wondered aloud, “in front of our whole group, ‘Kristen’s not a girl. What is she?’ And I just died,” Stewart revealed. “It was a totally clichéd, very real insecure breakdown moment, when I was like, ‘I fucking hate myself.’”

    “So many people say, ‘Oh, it must have been so easy for you.’ You think because I’m an actor that I didn’t have a normal progression of self-hatred? Between ages 15 and 20, it was really intense. I was constantly anxious. I was kind of a control freak. If I didn’t know how something was going to turn out, I would make myself ill, or just be locked up or inhibited in a way that was really debilitating.”

  • Alicia Cargile Dating ‘Twilight’ Star Kristen Stewart, Actress’s Mom Jules Stewart Confirms

    Alicia Cargile isn’t just Twilight star Kristen Stewart’s assistant. She’s her girlfriend, too.

    It wasn’t so long ago that Kristen Stewart was begging her Twilight co-star Robert Pattinson to take her back, following an affair she had with Snow White and the Huntsman director Rupert Sanders. She and Pattinson briefly reunited, but the relationship didn’t last. Maybe that’s because she liked girls better?

    Jules Stewart, Kristen Stewart’s mom, confirmed her daughter’s relationship with Alicia Cargile, and says her daughter actually likes both men and women.

    “What’s not to be accepting about her now having a girlfriend? She’s happy,” she shared. “I’ve met Kristen’s new girlfriend, I like her. What’s not to accept? She’s a lovely girl.”

    “I feel like people need to be free to love whoever they want,” Jules Stewart said in an interview with the Sunday Mirror. “I accept my daughter loves women and men. It’s OK to be who you are in my world. We all choose our friends, so we should be free to choose our lovers.”

    Jules seems to think a lot of Alicia Cargile. In fact, it seems like Jules Stewart might even agree that Alicia Cargile is more suited to Kristen Stewart than Robert Pattinson.

    “I’m very sad that Kristen and Robert didn’t have a chance to be alone together,” she said. “They had to have the whole world with them; and all the public stuff ruined everything; life became overwhelming.”

    Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson finally called it quits for the last time back in May of 2013. He is reportedly engaged to FKA Twigs.

    Alicia Cargile and Kristen Stewart have been dating since about January. Stewart will next appear on the big screen alongside Jesse Eisenberg in a film called American Ultra.

    Are you among those surprised to see Twilight’s Bella Swan involved in a relationship with another woman?

  • Austin Stowell Dating Former ‘Vampire Diaries’ Star Nina Dobrev

    Austin Stowell is reportedly dating former Vampire Diaries star Nina Dobrev. This is assumed by most to be the first person Dobrev has dated since her split from Ian Somerhalder–who just recently married Twilight star NIkki Reed.

    The Perks of Being A Wallflower actor was spotted with Nina Dobrev at the Hallmark Shoebox Relaunch in West Hollywood on Wednesday.

    “Nina looked very happy to have a night out with her new guy,” a source tells Us Weekly.

    Dobrev was overheard saying she is “really enjoying” living in Los Angeles after relocating there from Atlanta, where Vampire Diaries films.

    “They looked super comfortable and happy together,” the source said, adding that the two were also spotted sharing a kiss.

    This wasn’t the first time Nina Dobrev and Austin Stowell have been spotted in public together. Back in May they had a date at the Indy 500.

    It’s probably a blessing that Austin Stowell has come into Nina Dobrev’s life. Even though she has put on a brave face in light of Ian Somerhalder and Nikki Reed’s marriage, it seemed clear she needed something new and exciting in her world.

    There is no denying that Austin Stowell and Nina Dobrev make one incredibly fine looking couple.

  • Sienna Miller at Cannes, Both With and Without Engagement Ring

    Sienna Miller dazzled during her public appearances at Cannes this weekend, but she definitely had people wondering about the status of her relationship/engagement with Tom Sturridge. MIller was spotted at times wearing her engagement ring. At others it was noticeably absent.

    The Daily Mail reports that things aren’t all sunshine and roses for the couple, with Tom Sturridge and Sienna Miller frequently involved in ‘blazing rows.’

    The couple has been engaged for about three years.

    Sienna Miller arrived at the Cannes Film Festival on Saturday, wearing her engagement ring. The next day, she walked the red carpet without it. On Monday, Sienna Miller took 22-month-old daughter for a walk in her stroller, and wasn’t wearing her engagement ring.

    Tom Sturridge, known for his close friendship with Twilight star Robert Pattinson, didn’t join Sienna Miller in Cannes.

    A source said of Sturridge and the American Sniper star, “Sienna and Tom are in very different stages of their lives, despite sharing so much together. There are rows about money too, Sienna has a lot of personal wealth and he doesn’t.”

    “They are both from well-off families but paying for mortgages and things does come up,” the source added.

    Miller played the role of Taya Kyle in the Academy Award-winning film.

    Sienna Miller’s previous engagement, to Jude Law, fell apart very publicly. She called it off in 2005 following the revelation that he had had an affair with his children’s nanny Daisy Wright.

    Many couples experience financial differences. It isn’t a surefire reason for two people who have been in love for more than three years to go their separate ways.

    Sienna Miller served as a jury member at Cannes.

    What’s your take on her appearances sans her engagement ring? Are things spiraling downward for her and Tom Sturridge?

  • Nikki Reed Talks New Husband Ian Somerhalder, Plans for Motherhood

    Nikki Reed is the new wife of Vampire Diaries star Ian Somerhalder, and during a couple of recent interviews she dished on her new husband–as well as on becoming a mother.

    While chatting with People magazine at Maybelline New York’s centennial anniversary party in New York on Thursday, Nikki Reed gushed about her love for Ian.

    “I love him more every second, I don’t know what to say,” she said.

    Ian Somerhalder and Nikki Reed tied the knot on April 26th in a ceremony at Topanga Canyon in Malibu, California. In addition to wedded bliss, the couple will be enjoying a business relationship, too. Ian and Nikki just started their own production company together, called Rare Birds.

    “Oh, it’s so fabulous. We’re both insanely creative people, and I’ve never been more inspired by a human being in my life,” Nikki Reed said, adding that she’s written a film she hopes to direct one day soon.

    Now that Ian Somerhalder and Nikki Reed are husband and wife, the next natural step is to start a family–right? Is that something he and the Twilight star plan to do any time soon?

    The subject came up during an interview with E! News at the same Maybelline event.

    So what is Nikki Reed’s take on impending motherhood? Does she want to be a mom?

    “At some point, yes,” she said, going on to talk about the great love she has for her own mom.

    “My mom’s the strongest, boldest woman I know,” she said. “She is my role model in every way. It’s really a beautiful thing to sort of idolize someone so close to you.”

    It sounds like Nikki Reed and Ian Somerhalder will enjoy being newlyweds and business partners for now. They have plenty of time to have children. She is actually celebrating her 27th birthday today–May 17th. So she has plenty of years before she needs to seriously consider motherhood. For now they should simply enjoy one another.

  • Jennie Garth: Her Children ‘Are Her Wedding Party’ When She Marries David Abrams

    Jennie Garth of 90210 fame announced in April that she and actor David Abrams are engaged. She made the announcement on the heels of celebrating her 43rd birthday on April 3rd.

    “Dave had been working on this for months, and really wanted to plan something special for her around her birthday and make it perfect,” a source told People magazine about the marriage proposal.

    During a recent interview with E!, Jennie Garth dishes on plans for her wedding, including just who will be in her wedding party.

    She was asked if the children she shares with ex-husband Peter Facinelli of Twilight fame–Luca, 17, Lola, 12, and Fiona, eight–will be part of that wedding party.

    “Yes, they are my wedding party. Period,” came Jennie Garth’s reply.

    She went on to share a few–but very few–details about her dress.

    “I’m working with a really amazing designer, I’m so excited,” she said.

    This will be the third trip down the aisle for Jennie Garth. Prior to her marriage to Peter Facinelli–which lasted for 12 years–she was married to Daniel Clark for two years. She and Peter Facinelli share custody of their three daughters.

    Known for being a big do-it-yourselfer, Jennie Garth was asked if she plans to DIY her wedding.

    “Yes, definitely,” she replied. “I’m so excited to have a project because I finished building the house and now I need something to do so I’m excited to sort of be my own wedding coordinator—make a lot of stuff myself and hopefully it turns out good.”

    If you missed out on The Jennie Garth Project on HGTV, you must check out the episodes–all of which are available online. You’ll see the kind of DIY work Jennie Garth is capable of completing.

    How exciting for Jennie Garth that she has this wedding to plan, and that her three daughters will comprise her entire wedding party.

    Don’t you hope that lots of her DIY wedding projects find their way online?

  • Nina Dobrev Shocks Fans With ‘Vampire Diaries’ Goodbye

    Nina Dobrev shocked a good number of her fans when she announced recently she is leaving The Vampire Diaries. Even though she will appear on the show throughout season six, she won’t be returning next season.

    In a goodbye to her Vampire Diaries cast, crew, and fans, Nina Dobrev indicated that she always felt Elena Gilbert’s story was meant for a six-season run.

    “I always knew I wanted Elena’s story to be a six season adventure, and within those six years I got the journey of a lifetime. I was a human, a vampire, a doppelganger, a crazy immortal, a doppelganger pretending to be human, a human pretending to be a doppelganger. I got kidnapped, killed, resurrected, tortured, cursed, body-snatched, was dead and undead, and there’s still so much more to come before the season finale in May,” Nina Dobrev wrote in the following Instagram post that features a photo of her with show runner Julie Plec.

    A photo posted by Nina Dobrev (@ninadobrev) on

    Hollywood Life reports that Nina Dobrev is leaving The Vampire Diaries for a reason that goes way beyond her feelings about Elena Gilbert. In fact, they say she’s leaving because of Ian Somerhalder. The two were an item for quite some time, and he has since moved on with Twilight star Nikki Reed. The two are engaged, in fact, and actively planning their wedding.

    “The reason Nina quit The Vampire Diaries is because she finds it too awkward to be on set with Ian now that they’ve split. She’s known since June that she was going to quit the show and that the 6th season would be her last. Especially when Nikki [Reed] and Ian got engaged in December–that solidified her decision. It’s not about Nina pursuing bigger roles. It’s just because she can’t stand to work on set with Ian every day,” a source tells them.

    Do you think Nina Dobrev is telling the truth about her reason for leaving The Vampire Diaries or do you think it really does have something to do with Ian Somerhalder?

    Either way, fans are going to miss Elena. Will The Vampire Diaries make it without Nina Dobrev?

  • Jennie Garth Announces Engagement Shortly After Ex-Husbad Peter Facinelli’s Engagement Announcement

    Jennie Garth of Beverly Hills, 90210 fame is engaged. The actress confirmed her engagement to David Abrams, her boyfriend of just a few months, earlier this week. Coincidentally (or not?), Garth’s engagement comes on the heels of her ex-husband, Twilight star Peter Facinelli’s announcement of his engagement to Jaimie Alexander.

    Us Weekly confirmed back in January that Jennie Garth and Peter Abrams were dating. At that point the couple had enjoyed the holidays together, and Jennie Garth had introduced him to her family.

    David Abrams tweeted very special birthday wishes that professed his love for Jennie Garth just days before their engagement announcement.

    The couple–along with Jennie Garth’s three daughters–Luca, 17, Lola, 12, and Fiona, eight–spent her birthday in Mexico at the Dreams Tulum Resort & Spa.

    Jennie Garth and Peter Facinelli were married for 11 years. He has been dating Jaimie Alexander since November of 2012.

    Do you think Jennie Garth’s engagement announcement so soon after that of Peter Facinelli is merely coincidental, or did Garth want to prove to Facinelli that he’s not the only one to move on? She had a very difficult time following their split, but he moved on very quickly–causing some to speculate if he had moved on prior to their divorce.

    Either way, congratulations are in order for both Jennie Garth and David Abrams, as well as for Peter Facinelli and Jaimie Alexander. May they all find happier lives in their upcoming marriages.

  • Robert Pattinson and Fiancé FKA Twigs Planning a ‘Pub Wedding’?

    Robert Pattinson and his fiancé, singer FKA twigs, are not planning an elaborate, swanky wedding with a legion of celebrity guests. Instead, they reportedly are planning something a little more intimate and chill to tie the knot.

    According to People magazine, who confirmed the engagement on April 1, Robert Pattinson’s parents, Richard and Clare Pattinson, “would really like a church wedding.” However twigs “wants something quite informal, like a pub wedding.”

    Rapper T-Pain spilled the beans on the engagement in an interview with Vulture magazine, although he later said it was an April Fool’s joke.

    “Well, the first time we even met each other, we met in the studio. Her music’s changed a lot since then. But she’s on tour so much, and anytime I call her, she’s in a different place,” he said of twigs. “And she’s engaged now, so that’s about to be a whole other thing.”

    He went on to confirm that Robert Pattinson is the groom-to-be.

    “Yeah, to ol’ Patty [Robert Pattinson]. I don’t know if she wanted anybody to know that,” he added.

    Later, he posted his retraction on Instagram.

    Pattinson, 29, and twigs, 27, are reportedly hoping to get married late this summer, though plans are “not definite,” that source told People.

    Robert Pattinson split from his longtime girlfriend, Twilight costar Kristen Stewart in 2013. Sources say the actor seems “much more calm and happy” around twigs, the stage name for Tahliah Barnett, whom he has been dating for six months.

  • Nikki Reed, Ian Somerhalder Engaged: Romance Clicked from the Start

    Nikki Reed and Ian Somerhalder are engaged, and fans who look back at their romance can easily see that it clicked from the very start.

    E! News revisited their whirlwind courtship (the two only dated for a few months before becoming engaged–and they were living together in Atlanta after just three weeks of dating) and found proof that it was smooth sailing from the beginning.

    “They’re so happy,” a source told them of the recent engagement. “They were crazy happy from the start. Their families love each other. It just feels really right.”

    Ian Somerhalder was previously linked to his Vampire Diaries costar Nina Dobrev, but when that went south he only had eyes for Nikki Reed. There was a bit of discomfort on set (on Nina Dobrev’s behalf) when the Twilight star would visit him there, but that in no way thwarted the romance.

    Nikki Reed was married to American Idol alum Paul McDonald. The two separated in March of 2014 and their divorce was just finalized a couple of weeks ago. It was am amicable split, however, and the two still perform and record music together.

    With their respective exes out of the way, Nikki Reed and Ian Somerhalder had that proverbial green light shining brightly, and urging them to move forward to the next step in their love life. But it seemed pretty romantic even back in the fall. They were first spotted together in public at a farmer’s market. They adopted a puppy together shortly thereafter.

    Yes, it was a quick romance, but who says that marriage is where the romance ends? Although Nikki Reed and Ian Somerhalder have yet to set a wedding date, it’s likely the relationship will continue to be one filled with lots of love.

  • Nikki Reed Engaged to Ian Somerhalder, What Does Nina Dobrev Think?

    Nikki Reed of Twilight fame is engaged to Ian Somerhalder. She and the Vampire Diaries star have only been dating for about six months. Prior to that, Somerhalder dated longtime girlfriend Nina Dobrev, who was also his costar. How do you suppose she feels since learning her ex-boyfriend’s news?

    “She accepted with glee,” a source told Us Weekly of Ian Somerhalder’s proposal to Nikki Reed. “She is madly in love.”

    “They were friends before, the groundwork had been laid before. They had always been attracted to each other, but always in another relationship. It may seem quick, but they knew it was right. They believe in the same things. They are dedicated to their work and helping others,” another source told the publication.

    Nikki Reed and Ian Somerhalder have lived together in Atlanta since a few weeks after they started dating.

    Ian was spotted shopping at Neil Lane about a month ago, sparking the first rumors of an impending proposal.

    “Ian bought a vintage diamond eternity band for Nikki,” a source told Us Weekly in December. “It’s not a typical engagement ring but actually a wedding band you purchase for when you get married.”

    Somerhalder hinted at a future with Nikki Reed in an Instagram post about a week ago. He captioned the post as follows:

    “How I spent my New Year’s Day- in a #tbt way- wow. Week one of 2015. Thank you all for giving me so much strength-we’re ready to kick major ass and make a great future staritng now . Happy 1st week of the New Year- I hope you’re on track with making your future the most sustainable and harmonious one possible…Love, Ian”

    When Nikki Reed and Ian Somerhalder tie the knot (word of a wedding date hasn’t yet emerged), it will mark the second time down the aisle for the Twilight actress. She was married to American Idol alum Paul McDonald. The two finalized their divorce just a short time ago, and still make music together. It will be the first marriage for Ian Somerhalder.

    Was Nina Dobrev hoping to become his first wife?

  • Nikki Reed Divorced, Living With Ian Somerhalder

    Twilight star Nikki Reed is officially divorced from Paul McDonald, her husband of more than three years. The actress reportedly lives with The Vampire Diaries star Ian Somerhalder already. The two have reportedly been dating for quite some time now, causing a stir on set since Somerhalder was previously in a long term relationship with his costar Nina Dobrev.

    Reed wound up with a lot from her marriage to the former American Idol star. She got to keep two homes, three cars, and the couple’s dog, Enzo. Paul McDonald got to keep the couple’s Nashville home. Neither will receive any spousal support from the other.

    Nikki Reed and Paul McDonald announced their split back in March.

    “After much consideration, Nikki Reed and Paul McDonald are ending their marriage. They have been living separately for the past six months due to work obligations…They remain best friends and look forward to their continued journey together,” their statement read.

    Ian Somerhalder and Nikki Reed spent Christmas together with family members and close friends in Sun Valley, Idaho. He reportedly gushed over a new song she recorded recently, too. Do you think Nikki’s relationship with Ian will become a more permanent one now that she and Paul McDonald are divorced? Might there be a new, more exciting announcement coming when they return home to their shared abode in Atlanta?
