Josh Lucas and his wifeSweet Home Alabama star Josh Lucas is married!

The 40-year-old actor tied the knot with long-term partner Jessica on Friday. His representative confirmed the happy news to website TooFab.com although no other details about the ceremony were revealed.

Josh announced their engagement in January after he had proposed following a frightening experience with a mountain lion while shooting a movie in Big Sur, California:

"As the week went on, the movie started shooting later and later and, on a Thursday night, we ended up getting home at around 3 o'clock in the morning. So my girlfriend at the time and I, luckily we both had flashlights, so we began the 20-minute hike up the hill. It was black - pitch black. So we get to the top and we get into that lovely little trailer and immediately she starts hyperventilating and just can't even breathe. And I'm like, 'Baby, what's wrong?' and she's like, 'I'm so scared, the most scared I've ever been in my life because I know that we are about to be attacked by a mountain lion.' And I'm like, 'Honey, this is Big Sur, there are no mountain lions. That night, I then go home at 4 o'clock in the morning and realize I don't have a flashlight. And as I'm going up, I get to the point where I realize I can see nothing...I hear, totally serious, two big breaths, and six feet above me, I see the very slight glint of the eyes of a huge [mountain lion] and I literally proceed to do what I had just read in the instructions. And I started screaming and yelling and literally being as crazy as I could be, it padded off and just slowly went away and I worked my way into the trailer and I got in and I decided at that moment that this woman was the woman for me."

Brooke MuellerBrooke Mueller has pleaded guilty to cocaine possession.

The reality TV star appeared in a court room in Aspen, Colorado, today after being arrested last December for possession of a class-A drug as well as assault for allegedly hitting another woman in a nightclub.

Although the assault charges were dropped because there wasn't enough evidence, Brooke pleaded guilty to cocaine possession, according to RadarOnline.com. Under the terms of her plea deal, Brooke - who was recently released from rehab after completing 90 days treatment for drug addiction - must continue her outpatient drug treatment, and if she completes all terms of her probation, the possession charge will be dismissed in a year.

Brooke is determined to stay clean for the sake of her sons. "She's serious about staying clean, she's now living with a sober living companion, and going to Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous meetings. She is hopeful that her recovery from drugs and alcohol will be sustained and lifelong. The only thing she is taking is vitamins. The main focus in Brooke's life right now is being the best mom possible to Bob and Max and staying sober," said a source.


George ClooneyGeorge Clooney has compared himself to Elizabeth Taylor.

The Ides of March actor was arrested for civil disobedience in Washington last week alongside his journalist father Nick and other protesters after a demonstration outside the Sudanese Embassy and George says he learned from an early age that celebrities are more newsworthy than humanitarian crises.

"I saw my father in the 1970s doing really good stories and then getting bumped because there was a Liz Taylor story that was going to be out. And the story that he did that had real some social value was going to get bumped. I said to my dad, 'Remember how you used to get all your stories bumped by Liz Taylor or something happened in Hollywood?' And he said, 'Yes.' I said, 'Well, let's go to Darfur. And you be the newsman and I'll be Liz Taylor and let's get it on the air.' And he said, 'OK,'" he told Fox News on Sunday.

George is trying to draw attention to the accusation that Sudan's president, Omar al-Bashir, is provoking a humanitarian crisis and blocking food and aid from entering the Nuba Mountains from South Sudan and admitted he had some close calls when he travelled to the country to film the atrocities.

Lindsay Lohan on Saturday Night LiveLindsay Lohan has reportedly put herself under house arrest.

The actress is two weeks from the end of her probation period - which is connected to her 2007 arrest for driving under the influence (DUI) - and has made the decision to stay at home until it is over, so there is absolutely no chance she can get into any trouble, according to TMZ.com.

The news comes after the Mean Girls actress was accused of hitting the manager of a Hollywood nightclub with her black Porsche last Thursday, a claim she strongly denied.

After the incident friends are said to have begged the 25-year-old star to stay at home until March 29, when her probation is due to end. Until that time Lindsay - who has been in jail and rehab on several occasions since the start of her legal troubles five years ago - has now agreed only to leave home to complete community service at the Los Angeles County morgue.


Katy PerryKaty Perry "bolted" out of a London nightclub when she heard Russell Brand was about to arrive.

The "Part of Me" singer was enjoying an evening at Mayfair hangout Mahiki in a private room, but when someone told her Russell - who split from Katy after 14 months of marriage in December 2011 - was on her way, she quickly left so as to avoid an "awkward run-in."

"She wanted to spend the night singing in the room as it's where her best friend Rihanna normally comes to play when she's in town. Katy was having a great night but bolted out of the door when one of her sidekicks stunned her by telling her Russ was about to turn up. Rather than risk an awkward run-in, Katy didn't take any chances and ordered everyone to move on to a club in Chelsea instead," a source said.

However, the 27-year-old pop beauty needn't have worried as Russell was in the US, where he is facing legal woes after he threw a photographer's iPhone into an office window in New Orleans, where he is filming a new movie.


Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie

Lionel Richie thinks Michael Jackson was the "silliest guy" he's ever met.

The 62-year-old singer will always remember the late singer as someone who was "funny and silly" because he often used to make the "Dancing on the Ceiling" hitmaker laugh at "inappropriate times."

"Michael Jackson was the silliest guy I ever met. He liked to trigger attacks of laughter at inappropriate times. I remember watching a dignitary giving a speech, and he looked over and started giggling ... that just set me off. That to me was who he really was. What we say later was a product of failure of the rest of his life. The guy was just funny and silly."


Courteney Cox and David ArquetteCourteney Cox will ''always'' love her estranged husband David Arquette.

The Cougar Town actress - who split from the star in 2010 after 11 years of marriage - has not ruled out getting back together with the 40-year-old actor as she loves him "more than anything in the world."

"Who knows what will happen. We're not divorced, and I suppose at some point we will be, but the reason I say, 'Never say never,' is because when my dad was dying he regretted not being with my mum, who he divorced when I was 10. All I know is we're always going to love each other and whoever else comes into our lives will know that our relationship is extremely close, and that has to be accepted. We've both talked about that. We're not your typical broken-up couple. I love David more than anything in the world," Courteney, 47, said of David.

Courteney admits the pair are now "better parents" since they split, and her and David - who recently broke up with his girlfriend Christina McLarty - have a "really great, open relationship."

Russell BrandRussell Brand is planning to "fight" any charges relating to an alleged phone-throwing incident.

Paparazzo Timothy Jackson claims the 36-year-old comedian wrestled his iPhone away from him and hurled it at a nearby office window after catching him taking pictures from his car.

The Arthur star was released on $5,000 bond after handing himself in to New Orleans police on Thursday, and his lawyer Robert Glass tells E! News they are "going to figh"' any charges that may be brought.
According to TMZ.com, Russell - who has since paid $240 to fix the window - plans to argue he was provoked and that the damage to the phone was minimal.

Having filed for divorce from Katy Perry in December, Russell is believed to have found comfort in the arms of another woman last weekend - his mother. He apparently flew Barbara Brand over to Los Angeles from Britain to spend Mother's Day with him and new girlfriend Oriela Medellin Amieiro.

Adele at this year's GrammysAdele reportedly wants to lose weight.

The "Someone Like You" hitmaker has apparently embarked on a fitness regime in a bid to drop two dress sizes before the summer. Having shed several pounds after undergoing surgery on her vocal chords last year, Adele has also quit smoking and is said to been keen to continue her good work.

"Adele has found so much more energy now she's quit smoking. She really wants to get healthier, now that she's half-way there. She had always been curious about taking up Pilates but until recently there just hadn't been any time," a source said.

Last month fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld came under fire after branding Adele a "little too fat," but the 23-year-old singer insists she would never lose weight for anyone other than herself: "'I've never wanted to look like models on the cover of magazines. I represent the majority of women and I'm very proud of that. I'd lose weight if I was an actress and had to play a role where you're supposed to be 40lbs lighter, but weight has nothing to do with my career. Even when I was signing [a contract], most of the industry knew if anyone ever dared say [lose weight] to me, they wouldn't be working with me."
