Oh no he didn't! Sandra Bullock's ex and former "Celebrity Apprentice" contestant Jesse James is engaged to "LA Ink" tattoo artist Kat Von D after only months of dating.

Almost one year ago to the day, the world was cringing with Sandra Bullock while cheating accusations spread like wildfire. Just as quickly as Sandra accepted her Golden Globe for her lead role in "The Blind Side," her world was turned upside down by Jesse and a stripper from San Diego.

Can we just give Betty White a hand? The 89-year-old party girl celebrated her own birthday last night while interviewing with David Letterman and drinking vodka. You go girl! Betty and Dave whooped it up and shared some funnies…that is until Dave opened his big mouth and inserted his foot!

January 20, 2011 @ 8:30 am PST    Love and Other Drugs     Tina Musial    

Jake Gyllenhaal might have a new girlfriend in mind. Since he broke up with Taylor Swift, he must have decided to stay in the same circles, because he was caught being cozy with Camilla Belle over the weekend at the various awards shows that took place. Camilla Belle was dating another of Taylor’s exes – Joe Jonas.

With two ex-boyfriends taking up with Camilla after you broke up with them, wouldn’t it give you a complex? What does Camilla have that Taylor doesn’t have – besides the dark hair? It’s a mystery.

Here is a rumor that will surely stump you and make you scratch your head. Supposedly, Charlie Sheen and Brooke Mueller are working at a reconciliation. I know, WTH is that about? Why would any sane woman want to get back with a man who aleegedly beat her, threatened her and one who has been accused of hanging out with hookers and doing drugs all over the country?

Oh, one who also happens to be the highest paid actor on TV.

Lindsay Lohan must have learned her lesson – and it only took what, five tries? Lindsay’s dad Michael Lohan has come out to the press and bragged that Lindsay has taken lots of drug tests and she has passed all of them since she got out of rehab two weeks ago. Great. Lindsay’s made it two weeks this time. But it is a bit longer than she lasted when she got out the last time.

Maybe Lindsay can stay sober this time around? But with parents like hers, it is probably difficult.

January 20, 2011 @ 7:57 am PST    The Wonderful Wizard of Oz     Tina Musial    
Robert Downey Jr was scheduled to star in the upcoming movie �Oz� but it seems he changed his mind. And he either changed it a while back and the studio didn�t say anything or hey already had a backup in mind if something happened. Because they already have another name tossed in the ring � and guess who it is? What other actor can play quirky, interesting, funny and charmingly freakish characters without missing a beat? Johnny Depp � of course! I don�t think anyone besides Johnny can play �weird� characters so well.

Simon Cowell is turning over in his "American Idol" grave. Idol kicked off tonight with auditions in the tri-state area and as expected, when it was good it was great and when it was bad, it was unbearable.
