Spoiler Alert! Do not continue reading unless you've watched American Horror Story's latest episode. We're spelling out all of the latest happenings and will hex all those who complain about being spoiled in the comments!

Happy Halloween, witches!

American Horror Story: Coven celebrated the spooky holiday a day early with a truly fitting outing that left us creeped out and dying for more. Halloween has become a two-episode tradition for the FX anthology series and Coven's "Fearful Pranks Ensue" did not disappoint as the war between the Salem witches and the voodoo witches really started to heat up, we learned just how creepy Spalding (Denis O'Hare) really is and the Council finally made its highly anticipated debut.

Plus, a new villain was introduced and it's someone very close to one of our main witches and series took a page out of The Walking Dead's playbook...

SCOOP: How TV characters would handle trick-or-treaters!

1. It's War: The truce between the Salem witches and the voodoo witches is over! Why? After the Minotaur almost killed Queenie (Gabourey Sidibe), Fiona (Jessica Lange) decided to send Marie (Angela Bassett) a message: Her lover's head in a box. Cold-blooded! And through she brokered the peace treaty between the two factions decades earlier, Marie is out for revenge, raising the dead from their graves to attack Miss Robichaux's Academy for Exceptional Young Ladies. Oh, and three of those zombies just happen to be Madame LaLaurie's (Kathy Bates) daughters that Marie murdered back in the day. Game on, witches!

2. Fiona's Line of the Night: "Tonight I'm going to let the whole world in and get a good look at me. Who's the baddest witch in town?" Role. Model. Status.

3. Ladykiller: Thought Cordelia's (Sarah Paulson) husband Hank (Josh Hamilton) as too good to be true? That's because he is! After meeting up with Kaley (Welcome back, Alexandra Breckenridge), a pretty redhead he met online and indulging in some pretty intense sexy-times, Hank took out a gun and shot her in the head. Worst date ever.

NEWS: Vote for TV's best couple of all time!

4. Guys and Dolls: As if hugging scarecrows and having tea parties with dolls wasn't creepy enough, we learned how truly disturbed Spalding is when it's revealed he's keeping Madison's (Emma Roberts) body in his room and added her to his collection of dolls. Excuse us while we go take a million showers.

5. Silent Treatment: In a flashback to 1971, we learn Spalding actually cut off his own tongue to protect Fiona as Myrtle (Frances Conroy) but a spell on his tongue that would render him incapable of lying aka he would be forced to reveal that Fiona killed the former Supreme. Just before slicing off his own tongue, he told her, "These are my last words, Ms. Fiona: I have always loved you."

6. The Witch Hunt Begins: We finally got to learn more about the mysterious witch Council, meeting its three members after Nan (Jamie Brewer) called them when she could no longer hear Madison's thoughts. In addition to Myrtle, Fiona's longtime rival from their days as students at the school (see above tongue-cutting), the severe and stern Pembroke and the flamboyant writer Quentin, whom Fiona affectionately calls a "vicious old queen," make up the Council, which only "assembles only under the gravest circumstances." Through their introduction, we learn that the penalty for killing a Salem witch is death by fire and that the last time a witch was burned at the stake was in 1926. Myrtle, however, is hoping to change that soon. "I've got a book of matches in my pocket and I'm just dying to light this fire," she told Fiona.

SCOOP: Could Coven potentially become an AHS spinoff?!

7. Queen Bee Memories: How hilariously awesome was the Mean Girls-esque montage of everyone being questioned by the Council about Madison? We particularly enjoyed Queenie's description of the party girl: "Madison Mongtomery is a stone cold bitch who loves hard drinking, big d--ks and trouble. If she's dead it's probably because she got wasted and offered the grim reaper a hand job or something."

8. Burnt to a Crisp: Remember how we were waiting for Cordelia's storyline to really get going? Well, the wait is over as not only was her husband revealed to be a twisted killer, but a hooded figure attacked her in the bathroom at the end of the hour, throwing a potion on her face that immediately started burning her. Yeah, we're thinking fertility is no longer at the top of Cordelia's list of issues.

9. The Walking Dead: As for our FrankenKyle (Evan Peters), he's out and about amongst unsuspecting trick-or-treaters after killing his mother in last week's episode. After finally realizing bringing Kyle back to life probably wasn't the best idea, Zoe decided to kill him by putting rat poison in his food. But when she went to serve him his last meal, he'd left the house, so hide ya kids, hide ya wives, New Orleans! (P.S. Did anyone else catch the subtle nod to Peters' season one character Tate Langdon with the skeleton sitting in the car that Zoe locks eyes with?!)

SCOOP: Is Glee moving to Russia?!

10. The Supreme Search Continues: Oops, Fiona's blunder! It's revealed that there is no way Madison could've been the next Supreme as she had a heart murmur and a Supreme has glowing health. Hey, haven't you ever made a mistake?!

11. Mother-Daughter Bonding: Before having her face burned off (rough twist, girl!), we actually got to see Fiona and Cordelia share a nice moment at a bar. Of course, a nice moment for them consisted of taking shots and playing a game in order to tell each other the truth (like why Fiona hates Hank). And when Cordelia told her mother, "You'll make a bad girl of me yet," it felt pretty ominous, no?

What did you think of American Horror Story's Halloween episode? Who do you think attacked Cordelia? Sound off in the comments!

Arrow Scoop: Emily Bett Rickards Teases a "Change" in Felicity and Oliver's Relationship

Jack Rowand/The CW

Felicity (Emily Bett Rickards) is one tough cookie. 

Though she started off as Oliver's (Stephen Amell) shy, socially akward admirer on Arrow, I.T. wiz Felicty has quickly turned into an essential (and quippy!) member of Team Arrow, alongside Ollie's right-hand man Diggle (David Ramsey). Sure, the crush is still present, but she's become more confident and willing to stand up to Oliver, which has made us love her even more. But could her role, and Oliver and Felicity's relationship, change in the CW hit's upcoming episodes?

We chatted with last season's biggest breakout star about the team's newest member who causes , Felicity and Oliver's changing relationship, spending time with the Black Canary (Caity Lotz) and the misfortune of working with some of TV's hottest actors...

VIDEO: Watch an exclusive sneak peek from tonight's episode!

Perks of the Job: Poor, poor Rickards, being forced to watch Amell and Ramsey work out, often shirtless, for the sake of the show. Let's canonize her now, shall we?!

"The only time I ever got distracted was recently and it was because I was really tired and Stephen was just hanging out, no shirt, and they were spraying him down," she tells us. "I don't know if I was just at one of those points where you just stare right through things, but I realized I was staring right at his abs and I was probably for two minutes. I was like, ‘Ah, I hope nobody saw that!' and I looked up and Lea the makeup artist was laughing. I was like, ‘Oh no!' [Laughs.]"

And she doesn't even try to be stealthy (or use tiredness as a scapegoat) when it comes to Ramsey's arms. "Oh my God, Ramsey's arms. I've voiced that. That's like a known fact. I go up and hug him and put my face into his arms on a regular basis!"

PHOTOS: Check out Damon Wayans Jr.'s return to New Girl!

The Trio Becomes a Quartet: As Amell previously told us, someone new (and unexpected) will be learning Oliver's secret, joining the Arrow team. "I would really enjoy it, but I think it'll create a little bit turmoil at first, adding a new person to a group," Rickards says. "I am really excited to add this character to the group and have that character learn that secret because it'll be a really interesting dynamic and it'll be really fun for me."

Also fun for Rickards? Felicity sharing some screen time with the Black Canary. "We don't get to see them interact a whole lot, but they do get to share a scene that everyone can look forward to," she previews.

Hope for Olicity: Fans rooting for the hero and the I.T. girl to hook up should prepare to see a shift in their dynamic, as Rickards teases, We definitely start to see [the relationship] change. We're on episode 10 right now and they were growing as friends and then Felicity has this sort of crush, and she's still got this crush, but she's become such an important part of the trio and such an equal. I think that gives her the room and the ground to have more say in things." Which means she will butt heads with Oliver, similar to the scene in which Felicity stood up to the well-abbed one on Diggle's behalf in episode three. "Confrontation is not her jam, but we do get to that side of her appear again. I think it's a lot of built up frustration and constantly hitting a wall with Oliver."

Arrow airs tonight at 8 p.m. on the CW.

Bethenny Frankel Owes Omarosa $10,000: Fine, I Did Slam You on The View

Neilson Barnard/Getty Images for 'bethenny'

Be careful what you bet on, Bethenny Frankel.

Because if it involves taking on Omarosa Manigault, you're gonna lose if Donald Trump isn't there to do some firing.

In an appearance on Bethenny that aired today, the Apprentice villain innocently mentioned how her host had once slammed her on The View, saying that, compared to Omarosa, she had "a real career."

"I thought we were friends and it really hurt my feelings," Omarosa, who parlayed being a contestant on the first-ever season of The Apprentice into reality-TV notoriety and is now an assistant pastor in Los Angeles, said.

"First of all, we knew each other from The Apprentice, we had never had dinner, we weren't friends," Bethenny, who appeared on Martha Stewart's short-lived version of the show, recalled.

PHOTOS: TV's greatest villains

"I thought we were friends," Omarosa insisted. When you were on Martha Stewart's Apprentice, you contacted me, maybe reaching out, maybe you were just trying to use me to get information—and you can call that what you want...To go on The View and badmouth me to my friend [Sherri Shepherd], that's bad form, Bethenny."

"If you're going to talk about something that happened, let's get the facts straight," the former Real Housewife said, trying to remember her exact words.

"You never said, 'I have a real career'? Omarosa said skeptically. "I read the quote, you said, 'I have a real career.'"

"Can we just get the quotes?! I will give you $10,000 if I said 'I have a real career,'" Bethenny promised.

PHOTOS: Reality TV hookups

"I'll watch you pull it up!" her guest said excitedly, promising to use the money to minister to folks on skid row. "This has turned out to be a great day!"

Bethenny mused, "I think I said, 'No, actually, I have a brand, I have two New York Times best-sellers, I have a cocktail…Omarosa used [her reputation] for being infamous...'"

Well, sure enough, after the commercial break, a producer handed Bethenny a smart phone and she pulled up a rundown of her appearance on The View.

"'I think she's an interesting example,'" Bethenny began reading, "'because she used her time on a reality show...'

"I said 'I have a real career', I owe you $10,000," she admitted, her eyes never leaving the screen.

"It's different for you and I," Omarosa continued after Bethenny had eaten her serving of crow. "I am an African-American woman. You get to walk around and be mediocre and you still get rewarded with things. We have to be exceptional to get anything in this business."

But Bethenny would only concede that Omarosa was $10,000 richer, saying, "I don't think you have a brand.

"You make cupcakes, I worked in the White House," Omarosa fired back. "Get a grip...I am a smart businesswoman who celebrates being smart and there is a brand in being smart."

"Your brand is smart?" Frankel wondered. "That's in your business plan?" 

"Absolutely," Omarosa said. "I have an accomplished career. I teach young people...I hope they don't get discouraged from watching two women who have an opportunity to put things behind us. We have a chance to turn this thing around."

"No, we don't," her host said flatly.

After the interview aired, Omarosa retweeted some of the nicer comments from fans about the way she handled the chat on her end.

Bethenny tweeted yesterday after they taped: "Wow. Tomorrow with Omarosa on @Bethenny is next level.... I haven't experienced anything like it since Real Housewives...I like talking to controversial people. I'm intrigued by human behavior. More interesting than 'celeb gossip.'"

Tina shared with E! News that she's gearing up for another ensemble of an entirely different kind.

She shared that both she and Beyoncé are excited about getting into costume for Halloween and that Blue Ivy is jumping in on the family fun.

"They are very excited all to dress up this year."

Bitch Stole My Look! Rita Wilson vs. Paloma Faith in Tom Ford

by JJ Moore Tue., Oct. 29, 2013 5:00 PM PDT

Tim P. Whitby/Getty Images; XPOSUREPHOTOS.COM

Tom Ford calls this his "Ka-Pow" gown, and there's no mistaking why.

Both Rita Wilson and Paloma Faith made an impact in the explosion-inspired ensemble. As much as we love the wild detail on both dresses, this is a case of a couture catch-22: the positive of such a bold style is that your look will be totally memorable, but that plus turns to a minus once someone else wears it...

VIDEO: Hear Paloma Faith open up on Chelsea Lately about her thoughts on the LA dating scene

Our gut instinct is to prefer Mrs. Tom Hank's more muted black approach. The embellished sparks are just as powerful but somehow less "out there" against the black.

Then we took a closer look at Paloma's approach. There is something absolutely stunning about the all-red against the larger version of the dynamite image, plus scarlet and deep purple are a perfect combo for fall.

So shocked as we are to say this, we prefer the more shocking color combo! What's your take?

Casey Wilson's Dad Wants Her to "Wear a Sexy Wedding Dress" When She Marries David Caspe

When Happy Endings creator David Caspe proposed to Casey Wilson two months ago, the actress looked better than ever. "I knew it was happening, to be honest," she said on the Tuesday, Oct. 29, episode of Chelsea Lately. "It was supposed to be a surprise but I arrived in full hair and makeup."

Casey—who co-wrote and co-starred in the movie Ass Backwards—then revealed that her father, businesmann Paul O. Wilson, has already offered up his wedding planning services. "He has asked and requested, ‘Can you wear a sexy wedding dress?' I don't know what to say. And the answer is, ‘I guess,'" she laughed. "I would rather that request come from my fiancé from than from my father."

NEWS: Details on Casey Wilson and David Caspe's engagement

The 33-year-old TV star said her dad is a "really great guy" but added that his compliments sometimes creep her out. "He's always like, ‘You have a sensational figure.' And he wants me to get it out to the people. And I'm like, ‘I don't know that everybody feels that.'"

VIDEO: Casey Wilson finds love with a Chelsea Lately staff member

Host Chelsea Handler can certainly relate. "My father was hitting on me my entire childhood. Seriously," the comedienne quipped. "My dad's always like, ‘Chelsea, look at your voluptuous body. You have wonderful breasts. You should show them off.' I'm like, ‘I don't want to talk to you about my breasts. I'm not even that excited about them!'"

To find out how Casey's father embarrassed her at a friend's wedding, watch the clip above now.

Chris Brown Enters Rehab to "Gain Focus and Insight Into Past and Recent Behavior"

Kevork Djansezian/Getty Images

Chris Brown is getting some help.

The R&B singer has checked into rehab for anger management, the move coming a day after his appearance in court regarding an assault charge stemming from a fight that occurred over the weekend.

"Chris Brown has elected to enter a rehab facility," a rep for the singer said in a statement to E! News Tuesday. "His goal is to gain focus and insight into his past and recent behavior, enabling him to continue the pursuit of his life and his career from a healthier vantage point."

His longtime attorney, Mark Geragos, dropped him off at a facility today.

Attorney Danny Onorato, who represented Brown in court yesterday, told us that his client "committed no crime" in the wee hours Sunday near the W Hotel in Washington, D.C. The 24-year-old has been charged with misdemeanor simple assault (knocked down from an initial felony arrest) and is due back in court Nov. 25.

PHOTOS: Celebs who've been to rehab

Brown, who is still on probation from his 2009 felony assault conviction for beating up Rihanna, is facing 180 days in jail and a $1,000 fine if convicted.

But it appears that Brown is really serious about getting to the root of what ails him. As E! News exclusively reported yesterday, a source close to Brown said that he was a "good kid" at heart, but what he really needed was rehab and intensive therapy.

"He needs help. He keeps self-medicating with weed and alcohol and that's when he always gets in trouble," the insider said.

Despite winning his first Grammy in 2012, neither F.A.M.E. nor Fortune seems to have mellowed the volatile artist. He at first got a string of glowing probation reviews from the judge overseeing his 2009 case, but then court dates started springing up that had to do with new issues, such as an alleged hit-and-run and concern that he hadn't legitimately completed the 180 days of community labor he was sentenced to as part of his 2009 assault rap.

The hit-and-run charge was dropped but Brown was sentenced to another 1,000 hours of community service.

As for his latest run-in with the law, the singer is accused of punching 20-year-old Parker Isaac Adams and breaking his nose when Adams tried to photobomb Brown and two women.

"We understand that his security staff acted to protect Mr. Brown and his property as is authorized by District of Columbia law," Onorato told us. "We are confident that Mr. Brown will be exonerated of any wrongdoing."

Chris Brown Enters Rehab: Take a Look Back at the Singer's Tough Times

AP Photo/ Evan Vucci

Apparently, Chris Brown listened to Mike Tyson when he told the singer to "get it together."

The R&B star checked into rehab today, a day after he appeared in court regarding an assault charge stemming from a fight that occurred over the weekend. "His goal is to gain focus and insight into his past and recent behavior, enabling him to continue the pursuit of his life and his career from a healthier vantage point," his rep tells E! News in an exclusive statement.

But it's no surprise that Breezy has had his tough times the past couple years.

Between the highly publicized altercation with ex-girlfriend Rihanna, brawls with fellow artists Drake and Frank Ocean and continuous legal trouble, Brown has had his fair share of troubles leading up to this point.

Chris Brown Kisses Karrueche Tran Before Heading to Rehab—See the Pic

Instagram

Before Chris Brown entered rehab on Tuesday for anger management in the wake of his assault charge, Breezy got in a sweet goodbye kiss with girlfriend Karrueche Tran.

Tran posted a pic of the pair exchanging a smooch on her Instagram page last night with the caption, "Always & Forever?."

Talk about a bittersweet Halloween.

No word how long her R&B star beau will be at the facility, but it was just a little more than a week ago that she and the 24-year-old Brown got into that spooky holiday spirit when they checked out Universal Studios Hollywood's Halloween Horror Nights.

PHOTOS: Chris Brown and Karrueche Tran have some fun at Orange County Fair

Unfortunately, this past Sunday apparently a darker force took hold of the "F.A.M.E." singer, as he is accused of punching 20-year-old Parker Isaac Adams and breaking his nose after the fan tried to photobomb Brown and two women at the W Hotel in Washington D.C.

The Grammy winner, who has denied wrongdoing, was subsequently arrested and charged with felony assault.

But a judge knocked that down to simple misdemeanor assault at his court appearance on Monday, after which Brown elected to seek help, according to his rep, in order to "gain focus and insight into his past and recent behavior."

More than likely, he'll remain holed up in rehab for the next four weeks until he's due back in court on Nov. 25.

Everything We Know About Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's Wedding So Far

All Access Photo / Splash News

Wedding bells will soon be ringing for newly engaged Kim Kardshian and Kanye West, and we're already buzzing with joy thinking about their big day.

If one thing's for sure, the stylish couple will certainly not disappoint when it comes to the major details, and we've been carefully watching for hints as to what to expect when these two tie the knot.

A magnificent designer gown? Highly likely.

An incredible musical performance? We've got our fingers crossed.

Until the exciting day comes and we get the full scoop, we'll keep playing the guessing game!

Here's everything we know so far about Kim and Kanye's wedding:

WATCH: Kris Jenner dishes on Kim Kardashian's wedding dress

It Will Be a Stylish Occasion: Given that Kim and Kanye are both very much plugged into the fashion world, we have no doubt that they will be dressed to the nines. Kim has been favoring Givenchy and Valentino lately (she even wore a gorgeous patterned dress by the latter for their engagement), so we're banking that the brunette beauty might lean towards either famous fashion house to design her epic wedding gown. Mom Kris Jenner tells E! News, "She's got quite a great group of designer friends, so there's not going to be a problem finding a dress, I bet!"

The Groom Will Be Very Involved With Wedding Planning: When it comes to wedding planning, most brides take charge while their guys take a backseat. But when it comes to this power couple, Kanye will definitely have a heavy role in how things go down on their big day. He did pull off the proposal of the century, after all! Kim even told us, "I'm going to leave this up to him. Whatever he wants."

Now, that's pretty impressive!

Designer Rachel Roy even told us Kanye is capable of designing Kim's wedding dress. "He's an amazing designer," she says. As far as his attention to detail, Roy assures us that Yeezy knows what he's doing when it comes to pulling out all of the stops. "It was all done from love with the intent of really wanting someone to feel as special as they are to them…The music that was played was Kim's favorite. One of the main songs is one of her favorite love songs," she said of their romantic proposal.

It Will Be a Huge Event: If the lavish engagement is any indicator, Kimye's upcoming nuptials are going to be out of this world. A source close to the couple tells E! News that their upcoming wedding is "going to be huge," and given the couple's throngs of friends and family, we're predicting their guest list is going to be pages long.

There Will Be Some Fun Surprises: It's no secret that these two lovebirds know how to put on a good show, so it's only fitting that their big day is filled with some spectacular surprises for their guests. Kanye went on air with Power 106's morning show and opened up about the over-the-top proposal. When asked what the wedding will be like, the rapper modestly said, "Two words: fighter jets." 

Wow! We can't wait to see what they come up with to wow the crowd! 

WATCH: Kim Kardashian reveals she will take Kanye's name

Their Wedding Will Be Filled With Love: One thing's for sure: these two are madly in love and beyond excited to marry one another, so we have a feeling their wedding day will reflect that sentiment beautifully. Kim has already declared that she will take his name after they tie the knot and opened up about their loving relationship. "You really have a sense of family, especially with us having our daughter, and our relationship has been best friends and we've known each other for so long that our relationship has always been amazing. But I think it's gotten so much better after we had our daughter and just since we've been together for almost two years now."

And of course, how could we forget to mention that right after their exciting proposal, Kim exclusively told E! News, "Last night was truly magical!!! I am the luckiest girl in the world! I get to marry my best friend!"

Now, if only we could bottle that emotion and pass it out as party favors!

Family Guy Spoofs Prince George's Christening Portrait: See the Royal Family With Baby Stewie Instead!

Fox

Those Welsh corgis better watch out!

A beer-swilling Brian Griffin is giving one of Queen Elizabeth II's precious pets a sniff in a hilarious new photo in which Family Guy is spoofing the official Prince George christening portrait by inserting baby Stewie in for the royal baby alongside animated versions of Kate Middleton, Prince William and other members of the royal family.

In the pic, Prince Charles looks a little concerned by the tot with a football-shaped head and evil grin being cradled in his daughter-in-law's arms, while Prince Harry is easily identified by his shock of orange hair.

The photo is intended to get fans psyched for the Nov. 4 DVD release of the show's 12th season in the U.K., which includes the episode "Chap of the Manor," a send-up of many things British that was included in the show's 10th season in the U.S.

But this isn't the first time that Seth MacFarlane's sitcom has paid homage to the glamorous royal family.

Following the royal wedding, Brian asks Peter in an episode about the book he's reading, Science & Health and the Key to the Scriptures.

"I figured I'd give it a shot," Peter replied. "I mean wouldn't it be cool if you could pray really hard for something and it actually happened?"

He puts his hand together in prayer and apparently his fantasy is to be Kate Middleton, because the scene flashes to real-life footage of the newly married Duke and Duchess of Cambridge riding to Buckingham Palace on their wedding day, with Peter's cartoon face plastered on the bride's body.

"I am so happy for me. I deserve this," he says contentedly. "When do you think the queen is gonna die?"

PHOTOS: Stars get animated

Moving on...

As U.S. television has its way with the royal family on these shores, Prince William is continuing his day-to-day routine of being a royal mensch.

He has scheduled a visit to watch two surgical procedures, a breast reconstruction and a tumor removal from a bladder, at the Royal Marsden Hospital in Chelsea on Nov. 7.

"He is president of the Royal Marsden so he needs to know about and get to see as much of the work that goes on there as possible," a Kensington Palace spokesperson told London's Daily Express.

On Nov. 26, Taylor Swift and Jon Bon Jovi are scheduled to perform at Centrepoint's Winter Whites Gala at Kensington Palace. William is a patron of Centrepoint, which aids homeless youths.

Fashion Face-Off, Divas Edition: Celine Dion vs. Kelly Rowland in Anthony Vaccarello

Lloyd Bishop/NBC; Instagram

Oh no she didn't! We figure that's something a true diva like Céline Dion or Kelly Rowland would say upon finding that her competitor stole her couture.

Yes, these are two different versions of the same Anthony Vaccarello design, but in the land of the A-list singer, they're way too close for comfort. We're not surprised that the "Loved Me Back To Life" singer and X Factor judge both picked this hot black look, but now they're paying for their perfect taste with a battle of who wore it best?

NEWS: Find out what advice Celine has for Britney Spears upcoming Vegas run

Right off the bat we're in love with Celine's LBD version of the look. The position of the metallic circles adds the perfect touch but keeps the shape in tact. But outside of that detail, the look gets a little boring. Yes, there's that one-sleeve action, but the former queen of Vegas could use an accessory or two.

Kelly shows us how it's done with a dramatic up-do and statement necklace. That said, the long length against the metallic embellishment hugs her thighs in all the wrong places.

So it comes down to proper accessories versus perfect fit. Sadly, we say fit every time, making Celine the singing victor. What's your say?

George Clooney Is Single: I'm Not Dating Katie Holmes, Monika Jakisic or Amal Alamuddin!

Jason Merritt/Getty Images

George Clooney isn't the playboy the press is making him out to be. After being romantically linked to Katie Holmes, Monika Jakisic and Amal Alamuddin within a matter of weeks, the Monuments Men actor has decided to set the record straight about his love life.

"Three different stories in three weeks. I should be an athlete," the Gravity star joked to People. "But, no of course, it's all made up."

In fact, the 52-year-old actor has apparently been single ever since he broke up with Stacy Keibler in July. Not long after, it was reported that he resumed his relationship with Croatian model Jakisic. Grazia later linked Clooney to Holmes, claiming they hit it off at a mutual friend's dinner party and went on several dates.

After the Argo producer and Alamuddin were spotted leaving London's Berners Tavern together, more rumors about Clooney's potential new conquest emerged. As such, the actor decided to finally address the reports.

"George wants this Monika crap to stop," his longtime rep, Stan Rosenfield, tells People. "He wants Katie to get a break, and he wants Amal to be able to prosecute cases without being hassled because she had one dinner with George and four others."

Rosenfield adds, "I even asked George if these [rumors] were true and he said he never comments on his private life, but in the interest of stopping the harassment of all three of these women, he felt he should."

How I Met Your Mother Spinoff in the Works at CBS

CBS

How I Met Your Father? It's real and it could be coming to a small screen near you.

CBS is in talks with How I Met Your Mother's executive producers Carter Bays and Craig Thomas to create a spinoff from the hit CBS series, a source confirms to E! News. Up All Night creator and executive producer Emily Spivey will also help develop the project. Our insider claims that it's all very preliminary, but discussions are on-going to extend the HIMYM franchise.

While a lot of fans theorized that a HIMYM spinoff could star the Mother, Cristin Milioti, and revolve around her time in New York before she met Ted (Thomas even joked to us about it back in 2012), Deadline is reporting that this spinoff series would feature a new group of friends and a new lead female character on the hunt for her future husband. If the spinoff goes forward, the new gang could be introduced in the How I Met Your Mother series finale, with MacLaren's Pub serving as the setting and the link between the new group and the old group.

READ: The How I Met Your Mother Theory We Hope We're Wrong About

The project is tentatively titled How I Met Your Father and will not be tied to the original HIMYM characters, Ted (Josh Radnor), Lily (Alyson Hannigan), Barney (Neil Patrick Harris), Robin (Cobie Smulders) and Mashall (Jason Segel).

Given HIMYM's popularity even in its final season and the fact that it's the network's second highest rated comedy series (behind Big Bang Theory), this spinoff has a strong chance of getting the green light.

CBS has no comment on the report.

What do you think of the possibility of a HIMYM spinoff?

Inside Kelly Osbourne's Top Secret Birthday Party—All the Details!

Jason Merritt/Getty Images

Lady Gaga wasn't the only one to gift Kelly Osbourne with a cake for her birthday. Turns out, the star also got a very special one at her top secret birthday bash at Beacher's Madhouse in Hollywood last Saturday.

The extravagant dessert was covered in pictures of the E! star with her famous pals Miley Cyrus and Taylor Swift (who were unable to attend the soiree in person).

Not that the star—who turned 29 on Oct. 27—was without friends for the night. In fact, the exact opposite according to source:

"Surrounded by a big group of friends, Kelly sat in the middle of the club and was treated to an extra special performance by her pal and showman Jeff Beacher," says the eyewitness. "Jeff reenacted an important pop culture moment for Kelly. He had a mini Kim (Kardashian) and Kanye (West) come out onto the stage. Mini Kanye sang a song to mini Kim, and then he got down on one knee and proposed to her. Kelly couldn't stop laughing. It was hysterical. She loved every minute of it."

Afterwards "everyone sang ‘Happy Birthday' to her, she was very touched," the source adds. "She was having an incredible time and stayed right until the end."

Also at the theatre that night were Paris Hilton, sister Nicky Hilton and Dave Chappelle. But it was just Kelly and her friends who got to wash down the yummy cake with festive, specially prepared cocktails by Yacht Club Vodka and Casamigos Tequila.

Jessica Alba Flaunts Huge Baby Bump on Set of New Movie—See the Pic!

Ionu-Blitz-Awds-Kmm/X17online.com

Jessica Alba's got that pregnancy glow—but in this case, it's due to a prosthetic belly and just the right amount of sunlight.

The stunning actress was snapped looking extra (baby) bumpy on the set of her upcoming movie How to Make Love Like an Englishman in Malibu earlier today.

Alba sported the massive fake pregnancy belly while wearing a pink hospital gown—suggesting that her character may have been in labor during today's shoot—and seemed extra cozy in comfortable boots while carrying a tote bag and bright pink water bottle.

LOOK: There's actually a baby in these celebs' bellies

The drama film also stars Pierce Brosnan and Salma Hayek (who gets pretty busty and drafty in some scenes!) and tells the story of a Cambridge poetry professor who begins to reevaluate his life.

"Hottie mchotface professor Haig aka @piercebrosnanofficial #howtomakelovelikeanenglishman #setlife #makinmovies," Alba wrote on Facebook with a photo of Brosnan playing his character on set today.

Before getting back to work today, the 32-year-old actress had a night of fun at Kanye West's concert in Los Angeles last night. "Kanye bringing the performance art tonight #yeezus w the homies @Kellysawyer @jamiepatricof and my man @cash_warren," the brunette beauty wrote.

Jessie James Breaks Tradition With Eric Decker Before Wedding: "We Stayed the Night Together Before the Ceremony"

Courtesy: Jody and Zach Zorn

If you watch Eric & Jessie: Game On, you know that Jessie James and Eric Decker aren't afraid to do things their own way, but this tradition-breaking choice might surprise you!

The night before the big wedding day, most brides and grooms stay in separate locations and see each other for the first time as the bride walks down the aisle in her wedding dress. Eric and Jessie threw that right out the window.

"We planned on spending the night before the ceremony a part, but Eric called me and said he didn't want to be alone, so we stayed the night together before the ceremony," Jessie told E! News. "I don't think it took anything away from the ceremony. It was great to wake up, have some tea and be like, 'We're getting married today!'"

PHOTOS: Missed Sunday's super sexy Eric & Jessie: Game On episode? Check out our full pic/gif recap!

The wedding, which we'll see this Sunday on Eric & Jessie, is said to be beautiful and full of fun surprises.

"It was amazing. It's a fairy tale, dream come true," Jessie gushed. "It was everything I wanted."

And how did she deal with the expected stress of putting on such a huge event?

"I kind of blocked out anything or anyone that was negative or bothering me and just completely focused on marrying my soulmate."

Instagram

Jessie even shared some advice for all the brides-to-be out there and gave some tips on planning your own wedding.

Here are Jessie's top three tips:

1. It's All About You! "It's your day and your husband's day. Do not let other people get in the way or get in your mind. Just have a great time. That's what you paid all this money for. That's what you've been working towards for a year. This is a special day, so just make it all yours."

2. Put Your Style Into Everything: "Do people want to drink out of glasses, or would mason jars be fun? You can put your own unique sense of style into it and really make it yours. I'm a country girl at heart. I liked to make the little things count."

3. Don't Procrastinate: "Go ahead and reserve that caterer and reserve that venue. The day comes a lot faster than you think—don't procrastinate like I did. You need to do it quickly, because places and people can be booked a year in advance."

VIDEO: Watch this sneak peek of the wedding!

Jessie's favorite moment from the whole day? "Getting to know I was marrying my soul mate."

And cue the collective "Awwws."

Tune-in to E! this Sunday at 10/9c for the hour-long season finale of Eric & Jessie: Game On!

Jonas Brothers Break Up: Kevin, Joe and Nick Explain Their Split on Good Morning America

TK / Splash News

The truth comes out! The Jonas Brothers spoke candidly about their breakup during a Wednesday, Oct. 30, appearance on ABC's Good Morning America. The siblings—Kevin Jonas, 25, Joe Jonas, 24, and Nick Jonas, 21—met with fans gathered in New York City's Times Square prior to being interviewed by anchor Robin Roberts.

"I think it was time, and for us it took some time getting there, but we feel like it's time that the Jonas Brothers come to an end," Kevin said.

It was Nick who "initiated" the conversation about going their separate ways. "We're family first, and that's always been our main priority, and so honesty within what we do as a group was really important. I came to the table with the guys just before we were prepping to leave for tour, and I shared my heart with them, my feelings," he recalled. "In a nutshell, I said, ‘Look, I feel like we've had some complications within the group for a long time without addressing them. I think this train will fall off the tracks without really getting real about some of the concerns and some of the limitations that we may feel as individuals in the group.' It was a tough conversation…It was the first time we really had that real conversation. It was a few days of working through it."

NEWS: The Jonas Brothers say their breakup was a "unanimous" decision

Nick said they're reached a place where they "feel like we're best suited to do our own individual things, all things we're passionate about, and choose to be brothers first."

Joe said they butted heads over everything from music videos to individual opportunities. "At some point, we decided it was best to finish this and support each other and our own ventures down the way," he explained.

The trio—known for hits like "SOS," "Burnin' Up" and "Lovebug"—canceled their 19-city fall tour on Oct. 9, just days before it was scheduled to begin. "There is a deep rift within the band," the group's rep explained at the time. "There was a big disagreement over their music direction."

NEWS: Exclusive details on the Jonas Brothers' breakup

The Jonas Brothers' last album, Lines, Vines and Trying Times, was released in June 2009. The group's fifth album, V, has been shelved. Their latest effort produced two poorly received singles, "Pom Poms" and "First Time."

"The album will actually not be completed, but we will be doing something for our fans," Kevin said on the morning news show. "They have traveled with us and been with us for so many years that we did not want to just leave without giving them back something. So what we're going to do is, we're going to release four unreleased songs from the album. The rest of the album will be never released."

NEWS: Danielle Jonas shows off her baby bump at the gym

The Jonas Brothers will also be sharing 10 live tracks from their Summer 2013 tour. "We‘ll actually be giving that to our fan club members as a gift," Kevin shared.

The New Jersey natives are excited to begin the next phases of their careers. "We're really in a season right now of being real excited about the future, but also there's a certain heaviness that comes with closing a chapter," Nick admitted. "I think that, for me personally, my next move will be recording music, writing for myself and other people, and some acting opportunities, and maybe a return to theater at some point."

The Broadway star then thanked fans of the band for sticking by them over the years. "We have the best fans in the world and have for our entire career, so we thank them for that and thank them for really understanding this move," Nick said.

NEWS: The Jonas Brothers' canceled tour wasn't about poor ticket sales

Like his younger brother, Joe plans to make another solo album and challenge himself as an actor. "This is the first time in a long time we've had time to focus on ourselves and support each other through that. Like Nick said, we know it's going to be sad for a lot of people, but for us, we are looking forward to the future."

Kevin, meanwhile, plans to work behind the scenes. "I'm going to be going back my first passion, which was the business side of things," he said. "I'm in the first round of funding for an entertainment fund that will position brands to target millennials."

And, of course, the Married to Jonas star is gearing up for the arrival of his firstborn daughter with wife Danielle Jonas. "We're having a baby," Kevin said. "We're really excited for it."

Jonathan Cheban Talks "Amazing" Kim Kardashian Engagement, Lorraine Schwartz Calls Kanye a "Genius"

Friends of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are still gushing about the surprise proposal that went down last week.

The E! star's bestie Jonathan Cheban experienced the engagement at AT&T Park in San Francisco firsthand, and tells E! News he was pretty much speechless when we caught up with him at the Gabrielle's Angel Ball to benefit blood cancer research.

"Gasp. And I don't gasp. I don't think I've ever gasped," Cheban said about the surprise proposal. "It was like the most amazing, surreal feeling so I'm happy that we all got to experience it and I'm happy that she got to experience it."

PHOTOS: Kim's 33rd birthday bash!

He also talked about that gorgeous 15-carat rock Yeezy gave to Kim, and compared it to the diamond Kris Humphries gave her in May 2011. "Well, it's quality over quantity. I mean, this ring is just crystal clear and spotless and nice. It's a royal ring, let's put it that way. You can't get quality like that."

Speaking of the flawless ring, one of the main guest of honors at the event last night was Lorraine Schwartz, who designed the blingtastic sparkler on Kim's finger.

"They're just the most amazing people," she tells us of the newly engaged couple. "She's a really good person. She's beautiful, but as beautiful as she is on the outside, she's as beautiful on the inside. And Kanye, I mean, hey, he's a genius."

Katy Perry Chats About Her Friendship With Robert Pattinson and the Infamous Karaoke Video

If you haven't heard or seen the viral video by now, Katy Perry and Robert Pattinson make a sick karaoke duo.

A clip of the pair from a few years ago leaked online last week, and it captures a wonderful and lively rendition of the friends singing Boyz II Men's "I'll Make Love to You," after enjoying a few beverages.

During an appearance on Australia's The Kyle O and Jackie Show on Tuesday, Oct. 29, the "Roar" songstress dished about the now infamous duet and her friendship with the Twilight babe.

PHOTO: See young Katy Perry in a sailor outfit!

"Well, there's the media for you, nothing is sacred, not even karaoke," the 29-year-old singer joked. "Yeah, no I mean, we were just hanging out and we have a lot of friends that we hang out, one of my best friends is a mutual friend of ours and we got wasted and did karaoke like people do."

Love it.

"At least it shows you that we're like actually just friends," the pop star added. "We're like true friends."

PHOTOS: Fashion Spotlight: Katy Perry

And even though Katy and R.Pattz have never been an item, she understands that it can be tricky being friends with him without the rumor mill churning that you are linked romantically.

"It's like if you're a girl you can't be friends with that guy, that poor guy, I mean come on," she said. "I feel for him, I feel for him," she added with a smirk.

The clip, which was filmed at the Burbank, Calif., karaoke club Dimples a few years ago, finds Perry at one point sitting in the Twilight hunk's lap as they give it their best R&B spin.

More karaoke please, guys!

Katy Perry's New Album Prism Debuts at No. 1 on Billboard Top 200, Tops Miley Cyrus' Album Sales

Twitter

Katy Perry's roar is officially taking over airwaves.

The brunette beauty's latest album Prism, has debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard top 200 chart, and the "Dark Horse" singer has even set a record for the largest sales week of 2013 for a female artist in the U.S.

Quite an accomplishment!

Over 286,000 units were sold in the album's first week of release in the U.S., according to Nielsen SoundScan, giving Perry the best sales week for her career to date.

NEWS: Katy Perry talks upcoming Prism tour

In addition to having a nearly 50 percent increase from the first week sales of her 2010 record, Teenage Dream, which debuted at No. 1 in eight countries and spent more than two years on the Billboard 200, the singer surpassed pal Miley Cyrus' Bangerz (which sold an impressive 270,000 units in its first week) for this year's biggest sales week among women.

"I didn't want to do Teenage Dream 2.0," Perry recently told Billboard magazine of her new album. "Teenage Dream was highly conceptual, super-pop art. Prism is more organic, au naturale, vulnerable and honest, but still has the same amount of fun."

The only other pop album to have a bigger release this year is Daft Punk's Random Access Memories, which sold 339,000 copies.

Prism has also found global success, shooting to No. 1 on iTunes in 90 markets worldwide, and her first hit single "Roar" has spent 11 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

But despite the 28-year-old beauty's immense success, the pop star has no plans of slowing down:

"It's a comfy spot to be in, but I can't get too comfortable," the singer told Billboard of her chart-topping status. "Otherwise, I'll lose perspective."

As for where she sees herself in the future?

NEWS: Katy Perry and John Mayer getting "very serious"

"I'll probably turn into more of a Joni Mitchell," she confessed. "As I inch towards my 30s, I think my fourth record will be more of an acoustic guitar album. That's where I started when I was first discovered by Glen Ballard and got my first record deal. We'll see—I can't get ahead of myself. I'm still doing the work: I'm a good balance of left and right brain, and to be an artist with a long career, you've got to have both."

She added, "One thing John [Mayer] said to me was,'‘It's harder maintaining success than finding it.' I've got a few records under my belt, and I still feel like a brand-new artist. People still want that truth to cut through."

Sounds like she's found a perfect balance. Congrats, Katy!

Kerry Washington Is Expecting! What Scandal Can Learn From Other Shows That Have Handled Real-Life Pregnancies

Dale Berman/The CW

With the announcement of Kerry Washington's pregnancy comes the very important question: How will they handle this on Scandal?

Since it seems unlikely that there will be a little Olivia Popes running around anytime soon, some measures will probably have to be taken in order to hide Washington's already growing belly.

She's not alone though—writers, producers and actors have been dealing with hiding baby bumps (or not) since the early days of TV. Sometimes it works, and sometimes it hilariously does not. (Those flowers aren't fooling us, Hart of Dixie!)

Check out our gallery of how past and current shows have taken on the challenge, and let us know what direction you think (or hope) Scandal will take. Might we suggest something like Cougar Town's beloved massive wine glass Big Joe?

Kim Kardashian and Family Take Over Magic Mountain for Kendall Jenner's Birthday—Take a Look!

Forget long lines and constant walking—Kendall Jenner got all of Six Flags Magic Mountain to herself today!

The young E! star and her family rented the amusement park to celebrate Kendall's 18th birthday (her actual big day is on Sunday), and big sister Kim Kardashian documented some of the fun through a couple Keek videos.

"We're here for Kendall's birthday party and we rented out Magic Mountain. No one else is in the entire theme park but us and the people there to greet us," the newly engaged celeb said in the first video.

"But look, no one's even working in the concession stands. And we get to drive instead of walk. This is real lazy, but this is what Kendall wanted and it is a nice surprise for her and I'm excited for her. So happy birthday Kendall."

LOOK: Kendall gets an early birthday present! And it's adorable!

Yep, they were able to drive from ride to ride.

In another Keek, Kim got adventurous and recorded part of her ride on a roller coaster. "I hope this isn't too scary," she said, "We better not drop our phone." Luckily, the DASH doll never lost contact with her phone, but viewers may have lost some hearing from her loud screams. It's all good. She was sitting in the front after all.

Kendall posted a photo on Instagram of the empty theme park at night with the caption, "All to ourselves," while Khloé Kardashian Odom snapped a few pictures from today's event. "Kendall runs this town today," she wrote, along with, "I talk to animals.... Stuffed animals."

Kim Kardashian Is "50 Pounds Down," Says Swimsuit Selfie Was Her "Big Middle Finger to the World"

Paul Drinkwater/NBC/NBCU Photo Bank via Getty Images

Kim Kardashian had a lot of catching up to do in her first big late-night TV interview since becoming a mom.

On The Tonight Show With Jay Leno Wednesday, Kim Kardashian touched on a number of topics—wedding planning, her daughter North West, her engagement to Kanye West and that eye-popping selfie she posted recently in which she flashed major side boob and some serious booty.

Kim, who revealed to Jay that she is "50 pounds down" with the help of exercise and the Atkins diet, explained that all of the criticism directed at her weight while she was pregnant "really did affect" her.

"It really hurt my soul," she said. "It changed how I am in the public a little bit...There were these stories where I was, like, 200 pounds. I was gaining weight because I was pregnant and it was really hard to read all these stories and hear all these nasty things. And I think people sometimes question, they think I'm out 'in hiding' now.

"No, I just wanted to kinda adjust my life a little bit because why would I subject myself to so much negativity, especially now that I have a daughter? I just didn't need that energy, I'd rather be in a happy place at home...I've definitely tried to live more of a private life because of that, because they were so nasty. Why even go out as much just to put yourself in that position?"

PHOTOS: Kim's post-pregnancy style

But when she was ready to show off, boy was she ready!

Talking about how that famous Instagram selfie came to be, she revealed, ""I was trying on a bathing suit and I actually just sent that to my boyfriend and I was like, "Babe, can I post this up? This is like my big middle finger to the world on everyone that called me fat.'"

Well, Kanye was lovin' it, because four days later, they were engaged.

"He did really good...the best ever," Kim said with regard to the 15-carat diamond ring her man picked out for her. "I mean, I know he has good taste, but this is more than I could ever have expected."

Kanye got the stone from jeweler Lorraine Schwartz, "but he's so creative and he's so passionate about everything in life and he wanted to find something—I think he went to four jewelers—to make sure he found the absolute best and had rings designed," Kim gushed about her husband-to-be. "He took so much time and thought put into this and made sure that it was perfect."

As for the next step, the wedding, Kim says that they are "hoping for next summer."

"I don't think we've even had the right time to sit down and talk about it," she said. "I think I'm enjoying just being engaged and I think we're gonna get through his tour and then really talk about when and where and all that."

Kim is thinking destination wedding, "someplace Parisian" perhaps. "Or who knows? I got pregnant when we were in Italy. Maybe Italy? We haven't even talked about it...Maybe I'll pick the place and then he can plan it."

Asked if stepdad Bruce Jenner, who's currently separated from her mom, Kris Jenner, will walk her down the aisle, Kim said "of course."

And she also knows that her name will be a little different after they say their I-dos.

"I'm probably going to have Kardashian as my middle name and then West...My daughter has the last name West and we're a family so I want [my last name] to definitely be West."

Kim Kardashian Ready to Pose for Playboy Again? Hugh Hefner Finds the Idea "Very Exciting"

Ethan Miller/Denise Truscello/WireImage

Kim Kardashian has slowly but surely been putting her bodacious body back on display in the months after the birth of daughter North West.

But is she gearing up to return to the most storied display case of them all?!

"@KimKardashian is looking to make it back onto the cover of Playboy, very exciting," Hugh Hefner tweeted-then-deleted, but not before the retweeters got a hold of the sentiment.

While there's no official word yet of talks between the two, Playboy's December 2007 cover girl was just heard saying on Sunday's episode Keeping Up With the Kardashians that she was ready to put those who over-scrutinized her pregnancy weight gain in their place.

PHOTOS: Kim's post-pregnancy style

"I just wanna come out to the world, like, naked and be, like," the new mom told sisters Khloé and Kourtney, raising both middle fingers for effect, "‘I look so hot. I'm back. You all called me a whale, Shamu, a cow...

Stephen Wayda / Playboy Magazine

"When I came back from the hospital," Kim added, "the first thing I did was go look at my vag in the mirror. It looks better-looking than before."

Kardashian sister talk in full effect.

Kim, who perhaps has reconsidered since telling Harper's Bazaar in 2010 that she was "uncomfortable" posing for Playboy, also said on camera in an episode taped while she was still pregnant: "As soon as I pop this thing out, I want to do Playboy or some nude shoot."

Well, Hef is apparently all for it. And we doubt that Playboy readers would argue much, either.

Kim Kardashian Shows Off Curves in See-Through White Lace Dress Over Black Underwear—Check Out the Pic!

Michael Simon/startraksphoto.com

Kim Kardashian's post-baby body extravaganza continues!

The new mom showed up for her appearance on The Tonight Show With Jay Leno Wednesday in a curve-hugging, see-through white lace dress by Dolce & Gabbana, worn over a black bra and hot pants.

Not that Kim had left much to the imagination before when she posted the insta-classic selfie of her in a plunging white swimsuit, but her late-night TV look certainly further proved that she's proud of the hard work she's been putting in on her bod since giving birth to daughter North in June.

Michael Simon/startraksphoto.com

The E! star kept her hair long and her earrings simple, her most eye-catching accessory being the 15-carat diamond engagement ring on her finger.

WATCH: Sneak peek at Kanye's romantic proposal to Kim 

Speaking of which, fiancé Kanye West revealed in a Power 106 radio interview on Monday that Kim asked his thoughts before posting her sexy selfie on Instagram. 

Although, we kinda guessed that he approved when his response to her picture was a tweet reading, "HEADING HOME NOW."

Oh, Kanye, and his all-caps messages.

Kim also showed off her figure in white lace last Friday, flaunting major cleavage and her whittled-down waist at her birthday party at Tao in Las Vegas.   

"This is a designer from Paris, I honestly don't know who, I forgot the designer, but I bought this when I was really, really pregnant and I thought I would never fit in it," Kim explained to E! News before her party got underway. "I thought, 'Why am I buying this?' But I wanted this to be my incentive—I wanted to fit into this. So the fact that I'm fitting in to this on my birthday makes me really excited."

Kristin Cavallari Pregnant With Baby No. 2!

INFphoto.com

And a baby makes four!

E! News can confirm that Kristin Cavallari is pregnant with her second child with NFL star hubby Jay Cutler.

The couple is already proud parents to baby Camden, who turned one over the summer.

K.Cav's pregnancy shouldn't come as a total shock, however, as she's been open for the last several months about wanting to expand her family.

In fact, in September she told E! News that she and Cutler were already trying to grow their brood.

"We want to have a second sooner rather than later," the 26-year-old told E! News at a Junk Food Vintage NFL event in New York. "We're working on it!"

WATCH: Tune in to E! News tonight at 7 p.m. & 11:30 p.m. for more exclusive details about Kristin Cavallari's pregnancy

The former Hills star explained her reasoning behind wanting to become a mommy for the second time as soon as possible.

"We know we want another one close in age to Camden and we're at the point where we're both ready," the blond beauty shared. "Before Camden was born, I thought I'd be pregnant again by the time he was six months, but I definitely wasn't ready. Now, I'm finally ready."

So will the nursery be painted blue or pink?! Well, it's too soon to tell as of now but Cavallari did reveal that she wants to have a baby daughter the second time around.

"Obviously, I want a little girl, but if I had another boy I would be so excited as well," she told us."

"I love having a boy. Either way, I'd be really, really happy."

It's been a busy year for the Cutlers thus far.

The duo welcomed their son's first birthday and tied to knot over the summer in Nashville.

Around 150 guests joined them for their ceremony—actually the day after they quietly exchanged their vows—at Woodmont Christian Church followed by a rustic reception at a big historic warehouse, with a live band and Southern comfort food.

The newlyweds then honeymooned in Italy, which "was awesome," Cavallari told us. "I ate and drank for two weeks straight. It was great."

Congrats to the happy and growing family!

AMO/X17online.com

Move over, Harper Beckham. There's a new young fashionista in town!

Kimberly Stewart's daughter Delilah wore a mini grey pilot's blazer, embellished with patches, as she headed to preschool in Los Angeles yesterday. The 2-year-old completed her ensemble with a navy top under her blazer, grey jeans, shiny silver shoes and a pink ladybug backpack in one hand. She held onto her mom's hand with the other as they crossed the street. Adorable overload!

As for her mama, she was dressed in a leather jacket, grey T-shirt, black leggings and Nike shoes as she escorted Delilah to school. She looked ready for a workout and according to the Daily Mail, "exercises on a near-daily basis."

What a perfect mother-daughter duo!

Lady Gaga Suffers Nip Slip, Struggles to Get in Car Because of Gigantic Headpiece—See the Pic!

REX USA/Beretta/Sims/Rex

Lady Gaga wore a massive headpiece, but putting on a bra must have just been a little too complicated. 

On Tuesday, Oct. 29, in London, the pop star accidentally suffered a nip slip as she attempted to get herself—and the gigantic feathered hardware atop her head—into the back of a car. 

But don't get your panties in a bunch over this wardrobe malfunction (assuming you're even wearing any, that is). Mother Monster has bared her body many times before—and not just because she forgot to bother with her undergarments.

Back in August, for example, the 27-year-old "Applause" singer went completely nude to promote a Kickstarter campaign to help fund the Marina Abramovic Institute, which is "dedicated to the presentation and preservation of long durational work, including that of performance art, dance, theater, film, music, opera, and other forms that may develop in the future."

Gaga's art quite often involves nudity, and she's actually been quite comfortable in her skin from a young age.

"I definitely walked around naked a lot as a kid, and my mom used to joke with me because I would always try to freak the babysitter out and…hide behind the couch and rip all my clothes off and run around and singing The Little Mermaid or whatever, " she told Sirius XM's The Morning Mash Up.

 "And now," she continued,  "really what it's more about is I find it very interesting to be able to transform as much as possible with very little makeup and nude."

Makeup, clothing, lingerie—who needs 'em?!

Lindsay Lohan Not in a Love Triangle With Miley Cyrus and Ralph Lauren Model Morgan O'Connor

Getty Images

Lindsay Lohan is not involved in a love triangle with Miley Cyrus and Morgan O'Connor, despite speculation to the contrary. When The New York Post's Page Six reported that the movie star bumped into the pop singer at New York City's 1Oak nightclub on Saturday, Oct. 26, it also linked LiLo to the Ralph Lauren model. The gossip column claimed O'Connor "also looked like he hit it off with Miley."

However, E! News has learned exclusively that there is no romance brewing between Lohan, 27, and O'Connor, 18. "Lindsay thinks he's a sweet kid," her rep says.

POLO

The purported love triangle was so titillating that Vanity Fair even wrote a small profile on O'Connor. Alas, all three parties remain single. (Cyrus broke up with fiancé Liam Hemsworth in September.)

In a previously published Seventeen article, O'Connor revealed that he likes girls who are "elegant, spontaneous and can do their own thing." Perhaps there's hope for him with Lohan and Cyrus yet!

The Page Six article was wrong about other details, too, according to a source. The gossip column reported that Lohan and Cyrus "stayed till just after 5 a.m." and even left together. However, as E! News confirmed on Tuesday, Oct. 29, the former Disney stars exited the hotspot separately around 3 a.m.

"They did not come in together," a source said of Lohan and Cyrus, noting that they have mutual friends in common. "When Lindsay saw Miley, she went over to her table and started chatting to her. They were in great happy moods and enjoying the music."

Both stars abstained from drinking alcohol while at the nightclub.

Miley Cyrus Wigs Out, Goes Back to Long Brunette Locks and Tries Out Purple Hair!

Twitter

Behold, Miley Cyrus—circa 2013!—back to being a long-haired brunette!

But, fans of the blond pixie cut needn't worry, because the "Wrecking Ball" singer was just having some temporary fun with fake hair.  She tweeted a very Hannah Montana-esque selfie of her fun look on Wednesday, Oct. 30, captioning the shot, "Wigzzzzzz." (Wigs are not to be confused with hair extensions—which are usually attached to your real hair in sections vs. a wig, which can be put on or removed in one fell swoop.)

She also tried out a purple hairpiece, and naturally, she posted another selfie. "Wigzzzzzz part 2," she captioned the shot, adding three devil emojis.

No word yet why Miley was playing around with wigs (as if anyone ever needs a reason to play with fake hair), but it's possible she was testing out looks for her upcoming performance at the 2013 MTV EMAs in Amsterdam. Hours after sharing her wig pics, the 20-year-old singer tweeted that she was "counting down till @mtvema" (which air Nov. 24 in the United States), adding, "I can't waittttt."

Neither can we. Will she twerk? Will she bust out the teddy bear onesie? Will she somehow incorporate Amsterdam's 4/20-friendlieness into her performance? You never know with this one! That's why the world will be watching when the Bangerz beauty hits the stage!

Natalie Portman Says She's Become "Less Judgmental" Now That She's a Mom

Abaca/AKM-GSI

Ever since she and husband Benjamin Millepied welcomed their son Aleph in 2011, Natalie Portman has had a whole new perspective on things.

"I love being a mom," she tells The Telegraph during a rare interview. "I'm less judgmental than before I had a kid. The biggest thing I've learned is that parenting is a totally different experience for every person."

She adds, "Everything is cool, there are no rules—I mean, apart from not hurting your kid. Some people breastfeed until their babies are 5, and some don't breastfeed at all. There are no rules about what it means to be a feminist, or a good mother. For some, it's going to be right to go back to work. For others, it's going to be right to stop working completely."

The Oscar winner credits her own mother and father with providing her with strong values.

"My parents were wonderful. They were completely present, completely loving, they allowed me to do what I was passionate about and I understand now how much they protected me. I was lucky to act and have a regular household, lifestyle and friends," she says. "[They] maintained a calm and normal life for me that was far away from movie land."

Speaking of movies, Portman will next be seen in the highly anticipated sequel Thor: The Dark World, due in theaters on Nov. 8.

NCIS Star Michael Weatherly Welcomes Baby Boy—Find Out His Adorable Name!

John M. Heller/Getty Images

Congratulations!

NCIS star Michael Weatherly welcomed his second child Tuesday with wife Bojana Jankovic.

The 45-year-old actor took to Twitter to announce the exciting news, saying, "Beautiful Bojana gave birth to 10lb Liam Weatherly today, the most important day of the week (NCIS Tuesday 8pm CBS)!"

Awww…a proud papa and a clever tweeter—two points!

Weatherly and Jankovic now have a little baby brother for daughter Olivia, who is almost two years old.

The CBS star, who plays Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo on the hit series, has been prepping for the big day for months now.

NEWS: There's more baby news for the NCIS family!

In fact, earlier this month it seems like he was losing patience based on one of his tweets.

"The unbearable anticipation of waiting for a baby to be born is a crazy way to spend your time. It's possibly linked to weight gain," he wrote.

This marks the third child for Weatherly, who has a 17-year-old son, August Manning Weatherly, with his ex-wife, actress Amelia Heinle.

Prior to Heinle, Weather was engaged to his Dark Angel costar Jessica Alba, but the two split in 2003.

What a special day for the family of four!

Newlywed Kristen Bell Dishes on Life as a Wife—and Whether She's Planning a Big Bash to Celebrate

Kristen Bell is one content little cookie.

Chatting with E! News at the New York City press junket for the new animated Disney film Frozen, the newlywed pondered the question of whether her life had changed much since she and longtime love Dax Shepard made things official.

"It's slightly more exciting, like it feels like we just had a holiday or something, but not much has changed," she admitted. "But we've been waiting for a long time, and for very specific reasons, and it was small and private and everything that we wanted."

The actors, who are parents to 7-month-old daughter Lincoln, initially opted to put their nuptials on hold until same-sex couples had the same right to marry.

After the U.S. Supreme Court struck down the federal Defense of Marriage Act and paved the way for gay marriage to legally resume in California, Bell and Shepard got re-engaged and secretly tied the knot at the Beverly Hills City Clerk's Office earlier this month.

Confirming the good news, Bell tweeted on Oct. 18, "Wife coffee tastes way better than regular coffee in the morning :) @daxshepard1."

Asked if they were planning a big bash to celebrate after the low-key ceremony, the House of Lies star said that their friends and family "can throw a big party if they want, but I have no desire to. I'm happy."

Besides, that would ruin the discount motif they've got going on!

Appearing on Jimmy Kimmel Live last night, Shepard joked that it cost them $142 "out the door" to get married.

"I don't yet have a ring. I am going to follow your course, because you got your ring at Costco," the Parenthood star teased Kimmel, whose own wedding-guest list included Shepard and Bell.

"Friends of ours came to the courthouse, and it was just Kristen and I at this lonely courthouse, so they brought us this cake afterwards," the actor continued. "'The World's Worst Wedding.' How many people can say they threw ‘The World's Worst Wedding'?"

Jon Kopaloff/FilmMagic

Olivia Wilde made her first official public appearance since announcing her pregnancy over the weekend. On Tuesday, Oct. 29, the actress' baby bump made its red carpet debut at the International Women's Media Foundation's Courage in Journalism Awards in Beverly Hills.

The Rush star dressed her new curves in a Cushnie Et Ochs dress, which she paired with Jimmy Choo heels, a Stephen Webster cuff and a Clelia clutch.

This will be the first child for Wilde, 29, and Jason Sudeikis, 38, who got engaged in January 2013. The pair first met in the spring of 2011 and were romantically linked by the end of the year.

NEWS: Olivia Wilde steps out for the first time after her pregnancy announcement

Wilde thanked fans for their well wishes via Twitter on Sunday, Oct. 27. "WOW. You guys are awesome. So kind. Thank you thank you thank you!" she wrote. "PS. Babies eat mostly salsa right?"

Just six months ago, the once-married Drinking Buddies star said she was leaving family planning up to fate. "I am not trying to have kids now—there's no strict plan for anything in my life. What happens, happens," she told Marie Claire. "He's so good with kids...I've never before experienced looking at someone and thinking, 'That's who I want to raise a child with.'"

VIDEO: Olivia Wilde reveals the biggest mistake she's made while drunk

"We've discussed all our ideals and hopes. I can't wait for children," she said of her fiancé. "I'm open-minded about how many, but three, which I love, is like a little party."

Prior to announcing her pregnancy, Wilde and Sudeikis had been planning to tie the knot in New York. It's not yet known if they're planning to postpone the ceremony until after the actress gives birth.

OMG TV Moments: A Big Death on Ravenswood, X Factor's First Live Eliminations and More!

ABC FAMILY/Skip Bolen

Spoiler alert! We're about to dig into the biggest, most jaw-dropping moments from Tuesday night's TV. If you haven't yet watched a particular show and don't want to be spoiled, skip to the next!

Ravenswood: Already an RIP? Damn, Ravenswood! You don't mess around, and we respect that. Tonight, it was revealed that Miranda (Nicole Anderson) did not survive the car accident in last week's episode. One out of five ain't bad, right? Aw, too soon? Also, Caleb (Tyler Blackburn) suddenly gained the ability to see and speak to Miranda's ghost, who warned him ominously that the woman standing in the middle of the road before the wreck had been waiting a long time for them. Creepy.

And was it just us, or did no one seem too broken up about Miranda's death? Too little mourning for our liking.

The X Factor Did you flip on Fox hoping to see New Girl and The Mindy Project but instead got Simon Cowell in all his v-neck glory? Well, that's because The X Factor had its first live show tonight, and thus, its first live show eliminations.

After the top 16 acts performed, Danie Geimer from the girls, Josh Levi from the boys, James Kenney from the over-25 crew and Roxxy Montana from the group acts are all eliminated.

Sons of Anarchy: There were a few highs and lows in this relatively quiet hour of the FX biker drama. The high? Nero (Jimmy Smits) was cleared of the murder charges and released from prison. The low (that was a literal high)? Jax's (Charlie Hunnam) ex Wendy (Drea DeMatteo) shoots up again after all the pressure from Tara (Maggie Siff) and Gemma's (Katey Sagal) on-going war.

A war, by the way, that Tara is winning as Jax tells Gemma, "You're a sick, twisted bitch. You're never going to see my wife and you will never see those kids again. Grandma is dead." Woah.

The Originals: We finally learned teen witch Davina's (Danielle Campbell) twisted backstory and it basically confirms that witches are the worst! Basically, she and three friends were chosen for a witch ritual that would ensure the coven's powers. Too bad said ritual turned out to be a gruesome, bloody sacrifice. Don't you hate it when that happens?

Seeing himself in Davina, who tries to fight back, Marcel (Charles Michael Davis) saves her at the last minute, but not before she absorbed an insane amount of witchy power from her three sacrificed friends. And this is why all of the witches, including Sophie (Daniella Pineda), are after Davina: If she dies, they believe she and the three girls will be brought back to life and all of her power will be distributed amongst New Orleans' witches; if she lives, all of the witches lose their powers.

The Voice: The knockout rounds continued on NBC's reality competition, and here is how it all turned out:

Team Blake: Ray Boudreaux knocked out EG Daily
Team Christina: Jacquie Lee knocked out Anthony Paul
Team Adam: Preston Pohl knocked out Lina Gaudenzi
Team Cee Lo: Tamara Chauniece knocked out Stephanie Ann Johnson
