Constantine Maroulis and Angel Reed

Constantine Maroulis Is a Father! 
Constantine Maroulis has someone new to idolize him – his brand-new baby girl.

The American Idol alum, 35, and Angel Reed welcomed their first child, Malena James, on Thursday at 11:06 p.m. She weighed 6 lbs., 11 oz., and measured 19 inches long.

"Sometimes Christmas comes early and we're so lucky to get the greatest gift a few days early," Maroulis tells PEOPLE. "Angel and I are thrilled to welcome our perfect baby girl into the world today. Mom and baby are healthy and I couldn't be more excited to ring in 2011 this way."

The new parents met last year while they were starring in the Broadway musical Rock of Ages.

Maroulis shared with PEOPLE his excitement over impending fatherhood last July.

"It's a beautiful thing," he said at the time. In preparation for being a dad, he said he was, "just living every day right now, trying to do good work and provide for family long term – so I'm looking forward to the road ahead, definitely."

Maroulis is currently reprising his Tony-nominated role as rocker Drew in the Rock of Ages national tour.

Camille Grammer and Kyle Richards

Camille Grammer and Kyle Richards Make Peace – Sort of | Camille Grammer, Kyle Richards

After Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Camille Grammer's cocktail party turned into dinner and a (horror) show, there was only one way to settle the drama: another party.

On Thursday night's episode of the Bravo series, fellow Housewife Taylor Armstrong played hostess, throwing a lavish flapper-themed bash. Despite uncertainty over whether Grammer would once again collide with Kyle Richards – or if the two ladies would show at all – no one was roaring at each other at the Roaring Twenties affair.

"From this night on, I want to put it all behind us," Grammer says in the episode.

And while not all the castmates were buying into their kiss-and-make-up routine, Grammer says she's done with the dramatics – a change of pace from her earlier statement that she had "no interest in making amends with Kyle," whom she described as "awful and vile."

"I always take the high road – I try," she says. "That's my motto here."

And when Richards approached Grammer at the party, there was no mention of the text message Grammer sent her before the run-in. In the message, Richards said Grammer put the breaks on their friendship and her business relationship with Kyle's husband, Mauricio Umansky, a high-end realtor.

Although Richards said she would "never be able to trust [Grammer] again" prior to the party, she later offered up an analogy to explain their rocky relationship.

"If we were being set up, we would never go on a date again," Richards says. "But since we're not on a date, we can give it another shot."


Lindsay Lohan

Rehab Worker Drops Complaint Against Lindsay Lohan: Report | Lindsay Lohan
Looks like somebody had a change of heart.

Dawn Holland – the former Betty Ford Center staffer Lindsay Lohan allegedly assaulted – is dropping her criminal complaint against the starlet, reports TMZ.com.

Lohan, 24, was under police investigation for battery against the former rehab worker, who was fired by the clinic for violating confidentiality guidelines. But Holland's lawyer, Keith Davidson, says no further action will be taken because "a crime has quite simply not been committed by Ms. Lohan."

"Dawn will not continue to press charges against Lindsay, nor will she be assisting any further in the investigation or prosecution," Davidson says.

Davidson says Holland – who alleged that Lohan was "out of control" earlier this week, causing a sprain in her right arm and hand – sympathizes with Lohan. The two share a similar struggle: They're both recovering addicts.

Davidson adds that Holland does not want "in any way shape or form to do anything that would violate Lindsay's probation or cause an arrest."

Alex Welch Is Happy About Settlement with Demi Lovato

Alex Welch Is Happy About Settlement with Demi Lovato | Demi Lovato

Demi Lovato and dancer Alex Welch have made peace for the holidays: The Disney Channel star has reached a settlement with Welch, the dancer she struck.

"I'm happy. We came to an agreement and I'm ready to move on," Alex "Shorty" Welch, a member of the all-female dance crew, Beat Freaks, tells PEOPLE. "I'm ready to start working again."

Lovato, 18, has been in treatment for emotional and physical issues since the altercation took place in October during the South American leg of the Jonas Brothers's world tour.

According to Welch, the punch came after Lovato was confronted by tour managers about her conduct the previous night. The incident left Welch with a black eye and a bruised left cheekbone, and the dancer considered legal action prior to the resolution.

Lovato's reps had no comment on the settlement.

Welch, 21, would not disclose the terms of the settlement but said that the agreement called for a portion of the settlement to be donated to charity. "That's important," she says.

Katie Holmes Goes Children's Clothes Holiday Shopping

With days before Christmas, Katie Holmes dropped into a favorite French-based children's clothing boutique in Beverly Hills recently to pick out gifts for six children – including 4-year-old daughter Suri.

"Her tastes were very classic," another customer, who was inside the Bonpoint shop on Brighton Way at the same time, tells PEOPLE. "Very practical."

Among the purchases: sweaters in caramel and grey for a 10-year-old girl and a jacket and slacks outfit for a very young boy.

Other selections were a bit more "fanciful," the source says, including "a princess dress for a girl [of] about 8 or so."

Holmes also picked out a short gold dress and ruby red shoes, described as "very red carpet," as well as some beach-ready shoulder-strapped sundresses.

Like husband Tom Cruise, Holmes is spotted regularly at the upscale shop, which scents and color-codes its packages: pink for girls, khaki for boys. Other celebrity clients of the brand include Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, Julia Roberts, Salma Hayek and Jessica Alba.

Pamela Anderson loves dancing with James Jordan
Pamela Stephenson made it to the final of Strictly Come Dancing tonight but the public didn't vote her into the last two.
The 61-year-old, partnered by James Jordan, 32, lost out to Kara Tointon and Matt Baker, despite an impressive free dance to the Dirty Dancing classic (I've Had) The Time Of My Life.
'Nobody puts granny in the corner,' quipped James.
Pamela thanked the professional for his incredible patience after Brucie and Tess told the pair they were going home.
'Look at James. God, what a gorgeous thing he is,' says Pamela.
'He's quite flirtatious with me. I'm fascinated by dancer relationships. They're used to dancing very close with people they're not in a relationship with.
'It has fluffed me up a bit.'
Pamela's husband, comedian Billy Connolly, has been supporting his wife during the competition and their marriage has been given a bit of a boost since she started training.
'Billy can be possessive,' she tells Weekend.
'He's said a couple of things to me about James, like: "You're dancing very close to somebody else who's half your age."
'Billy's been paying me more attention. It gives you an extra bit of power in your relationship.'
James Jordan is married to Strictly dance professional Ola Jordan.

Kara Tointon is the winner of Strictly Come Dancing 2010.
Partnered by Russian hunk Artem Chigvintsev, 28, the former EastEnders actress impressed the judges and the public with her incredible grace and her astonishing gymnastic ability.
The pair's last dance, the American Smooth, was absolutely beautiful, despite Kara injuring her arm in traning.
Kara, 27, and Artem's on-screen chemisty has been obvious from the start and has helped propel them to the top of the Strictly leaderboard week after week. 
'I think I am a different human being to the one I was 3 months ago,' says the actress. 'It's been a magical experience.
'It's the most special thing I've ever achieved.'
Artem and Kara both wept when they were told they'd won the show. Then, encouraged by runner-up Matt Baker, they kissed on the lips.
After celebrating, Kara ended up in Accident & Emergency for treatment to torn ligaments in her lower arm.

pasta lately.'
The couple have been putting their personal relationship on hold while they've been training, but now plan to go on a proper date.
'I'm very serious when I decide to date someone,' Artem explains. 'I'm a committed person. I don't do flings - they've never made me feel good about myself. I'm quite romantic.'

X Factor's Wagner Carrilho denies bonking Chloe Mafia

Eccentric Brazilian calls tabloid report 
complete fabrication
Chloe Mafia | chloe victoria | The X Factor
Chloe Victoria 'Mafia' Heald insists she's not a hooker
X Factor contestant Chloe Victoria 'Mafia' Heald's ex claims she bedded X Factor finalist Wagner Carrilho following last Saturday's after-show party, but the eccentric Brazilian says the story is 'complete fabrication'.
Chloe, 19, who sang for the final with other rejected contestants, is said to have caught 54-year-old Wagner's eye in her raunchy PVC outfit and the pair were snapped embracing.
'Wagner's eyes lit up the moment he spotted Chloe,' says a source.
'They hugged and kissed and Wagner seemed hypnotised.'
Chloe is reported to have had a row with her new boyfriend and decided to go to Wagner's hotel room.
Next morning, she phoned Ian Hough, 22, father of her two-year-old daughter.
'She rang me on Sunday morning and said, "Oh my God. What have I done?",' Ian alleges in the Sunday Mirror.
'She said she remembered going to his room and falling on to his bed. She also said she remembered them both stripping and having full sex.
'He told her he wanted to be her new boyfriend and that they should go public that day. She couldn't get her clothes on and out of his room fast enough.'
A spokeswoman for Wagner tells the Press Association: 'The allegation that Wagner and Chloe spent the night together is totally and utterly untrue.'

Chloe is alleged to be a £250-an-hour hooker who binges on cocaine.
But young single mum has rubbished claims she's been working as a £250-an-hour hooker.
'I've done a lot of bad things but one thing I'm not is a prostitute,' she insists.
'There are fake websites about me saying I'm selling myself but they've taken pictures from my Facebook.'

'I'll be up for a Brit Award soon and wipe the floor with her."
'Her arrogance has shocked a lot of people.'

Harvey is Katie Price's son with ex Dwight Yorke
Katie Price has now lodged an official complaint with media watchdog Ofcom regarding Frankie Boyle's joke about disabled son Harvey on his TV show.
Katie's lawyer has filed papers alleging Channel 4 and the comedian breached the 'harm and offence' clause of the Broadcasting Code.
Frankie, 38, made comments about the 8-year-old on Channel 4's Tramadol Nights.
'Jordan and Peter Andre are still fighting each other over custody of Harvey,' he quipped. 'Eventually one of them will lose and have to keep him.'
Frankie later added: 'I have a theory about the reason Jordan married a cage-fighter [Alex Reid]. She needed a man strong enough to stop Harvey from f***ing her.'
Katie, 32, is appalled.
'Harvey Price is a little miracle,' she says.
'Every day he overcomes so many difficulties and has so many battles to win due to his medical problems. I love him and am deeply proud to be his mother.
'If Mr Boyle had a 10th of his courage and decency, he would know that to suggest, let alone think funny, that Harvey may sexually attack me is vile and deeply unfair.'
Katie's lawyer Mark Bateman says they have no option but to formally complain to Ofcom after giving Channel 4 until 5pm yesterday to apologise.
'Channel 4 have got this horribly wrong if they think their actions are defensible because Boyle is high profile or because he has made this joke before,' he tells the Daily Star.
'To ridicule disability is bad enough but to single out a young child as courageous and vulnerable as Harvey is cowardly.
A Channel 4 spokesman says: 'Frankie Boyle is well known for this controversial type of humour and the programme carried appropriate warnings as to the nature of the material.
'The joke aired in the context of a late-night comedy show.'

Coleen Rooney has laughed off claims she's splashed out on a £10,000 boob job.
The super-WAG was rumoured to have had plastic surgery after showing off her amazing shape on holiday in Dubai with husband Wayne, just a year after the birth of son Kai.
'The secret is halterneck bikinis,' she insists.

'In some of the supposed "before" shots I was in a bandeau bikini, and they don't do me any justice.
'A halterneck bikini pulls you up.'

That's not to say Coleen won't consider a little nip and tuck in the future.
'I won't say I'll never have surgery, because you never know how you're going to feel in years to come,' she says.

'But I'd never do anything too dramatic - you see such terrible sights where it's gone horribly wrong.'

Cheryl Cole looks stunning in her Julien Macdonald sexy number
Once a designer dress has rocked the red carpet, it usually goes into retirement for the rest of the season.
But all bets are off when it comes to this £3,564 number by catwalk king Julien Macdonald, which has been worn by everyone from Cheryl Cole, 27, to Cher - yes, the real one.
Speaking exclusively to Now, Julien confesses: ‘I like dressing women with fun characters who have real bodies - curvy with a bust.
'Women, and especially celebrities, feel an instant sense of glamour when they put on one of my dresses.
'Both Cher and Cheryl contacted me to make something special for them and it was a real pleasure working with both women.'
Julien created this dress in nude for Cheryl Cole   - which she teamed with a VBH clutch and Jimmy Choo heels - to pick up her Glamour Woman Of The Year Award in June.

'Cheryl requested it in nude and she personally picked this
specific colour. I added further detailed embellishment on the dress
with more crystals and lace for that instant red carpet look,' explains
Julien.
Hot on Cheryl's heels, Alex Gerrard, 28, teamed the catwalk version with an Alexander McQueen clutch and Miu Miu heels for Elton John's White Tie And Tiara Ball on 24 June 2010.
Formula 1 heiress Tamara Ecclestone (above centre), 26, can afford to wear this look straight off the runway, teaming it with nude Julien Macdonald heels at the F1 Party at the Natural History Museum.
And this week, Burlesque star Cher, 34, turns back time giving celebs half her age a run for their money in a modified, more demure version of this season's It dress at the Burlesque premiere.
'The sleeves were put on and the whole dress was customised just for Cher,' reveals Julien.

Justin Timberlake

Justin Timberlake's call to Britney Spears: What the hell's going on?

Britney's first love Justin reaches out to her following shocking 
magazine claims about her current boyfriend
Britney Spears| Now Magazine 
Justin Timberlake still cares about Britney's welfare
A worried Justin Timberlake has reached out to Britney Spears after the US press exploded last week with reports that she'd been physically abused by her boyfriend Jason Trawick.
While Britney's reps categorically deny the allegations, saying: ‘Jason's never laid a hand on Britney,' the story comes from her first husband Jason Alexander, who's provided audiotapes of alleged conversations with Britney to back up his claims.
Amid a worldwide tabloid frenzy, a distraught Justin Timberlake is said to have called his childhood sweetheart, demanding: ‘What the hell's going on?'
A close friend of the singer-turned-actor tells Now: ‘Justin considers Britney a member of his family and he's very worried about her, especially when something like this hits the news.'
The stories centre on claims by Jason Alexander that Brit told him her boyfriend Jason Trawick was beating her up.
Jason A has produced audio recordings of conversations he'd had with ‘Britney', but her spokesman denies it's her.
Jason, however, passed a lie detector test insisting it is.
On the tape, Jason asks why she didn't go to the police and a woman he says is Britney replies: ‘Because I didn't want the public knowing about it and I didn't want to file anything so everyone could find out. So I've just left him and changed my number.'
However, a message on Britney's website says: ‘The statements attributed to Jason Alexander are a complete fabrication as Britney hasn't had any communication with him in years.'

Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt met through a mutual friend
Seriously, is there nothing Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag won't do for a bit of publicity?
Now has learnt that reality show regulars Spencer, 27, and Heidi, 24, are already planning to split - a month after renewing their wedding vows!
The plan is to end their sham relationship early in the New Year, following a series of staged public rows and other moneymaking stunts.
We can practically smell the desperation all the way across the Atlantic.
Spencer's so shameless but you have to give him credit for trying to cash in at every opportunity,' an insider tells Now.
‘He'll cook up these schemes as long as he and Heidi continue to be paid.
'They're telling anyone who'll listen how seriously they're taking their marriage.'
This isn't the first time the couple have sold their souls for a few dollars.
In October, they were spotted ‘accidentally on purpose' burning their divorce papers - and let's not forget Heidi's regular trips to her plastic surgeon.
‘Their every move is calculated to earn money,' says our mole.
‘But what they don't realise is people are sick of it.'

Katy Perry married Russell Brand in India two months ago
They've only been married for two months but Katy Perry already seems to have mislaid her rose-tinted glasses and has been forced to lay down a few rules for hubby Russell Brand.
The 26-year-old singer has become so sick of playing chauffeur to funnyman Russell, 35, that she's ordered him to take driving lessons.
Katy gave Russell a £65,000 Range Rover as a Christmas gift last year but he's never been able to use it,' a close friend tells Now.
‘That bugged her a bit because she's had to do all the driving and she was getting sick and tired of it.
‘They spend a lot of time in LA, where everyone drives, and Katy finds it kind of bizarre that at his age he still doesn't have a licence. After all, she learnt to drive when she was 15.'
Russell's being a good boy and has signed up for a driving course, but it might be a long haul.
Russell's already failed his test a couple of times in the US - he's not exactly the greatest driver,' reveals our source.

But Kimberley's only ever picked up the phone to vote for one act - Louis Walsh's John Adeleye.
‘I don't vote, actually,' says Kimberley.

Singer Esmée Denters really rates X Factor rapper Cher Lloyd.
The 22-year-old star, who rose to fame when Justin Timberlake spotted her cover videos on YouTube, thinks it's only right that the confident teenager has done well in the competition.

'I caught some of Cher Lloyd's performances which I thought were really cool,' says Esmée.

'I think the X Factor is great, they really put on a show.'

Esmée, who had a hit single with Until You Were Gone with Brit rapper Chipmunk, believes The X Factor is a great platform for artists like Cher.

'They're being given these covers and they have to show who they are as an artist, but they have to make it original,' she says.
'If that's how you can build an audience and have fun and show your talent, then why not?'

Esmée is currently the face and spokesperson for b.tempt'd lingerie available at Harrods and Harvey Nichols.

The 17-year-old rapper got the fewest number of viewers' votes, despite a knock-out performance of I Gotta Feeling (Tonight's Gonna Be A Good Night) with Black Eyed Peas star Will.i.am - who thinks she has a special talent.
'Thank you go everybody who ever believed in me,' Cher told host Dermot O'Leary.
'The highlight for me was standing on this stage with Will.i.am.'
Cher, from Malvern in Worcestershire, thinks reports of her throwing regular backstage diva tantrums influenced her popularity.
'I do expect to be going,' she admitted last week at an X Factor conference.
'But people have misjudged me. I'm not the person that I'm made out to be. That's fine.
'I know who I am and the people who know me know who I am as well.
'Come on. 'I'm a rapper. I'm very glad to make it this far.'
Cher was mentored by Cheryl Cole.
Now Rebecca Ferguson, Matt Cardle and One Direction will battle it out in tomorrow's final.

Liz Hurley and Arun Nayar are no longer together

Liz Hurley has revealed that she split from her husband Arun Nayar earlier this year.

The model made the announcement on Twitter yesterday following reports that she's been having a fling with Australian cricketer Shane Warne.

'Not a great day. For the record, my husband Arun & I separated a few months ago. Our close family & friends were aware of this,' she writes.

Liz and Shane, 41, were snapped kissing at a London restaurant last week and it's also claimed the pair spent 2 nights together at a hotel in the capital.

Shane divorced wife Simone Callahan in 2006, and a reported attempt to patch up their differences was not successful.

'Sadly and unfortunately, Simone and I split up a while ago, our close friends and family were informed at that time,' Shane writes on his blog.

'It is a private matter so we did not make it public. We remain friends and will continue to be good parents.'

Shane and Simone are mum and dad to Brooke, 13, Jackson, 11, and Summer, 8.

Liz, 45, married Arun in March 2007 after 4 years of dating.

Matt Cardle & Dannii Minogue
Matt Cardle has apologised to mentor Dannii Minogue after he accidentally wacked her on The X Factor last night.

The Aussie judge got a fist in her face when all the axed contestants rushed towards the painter/decorator to congratulate him on his victory.

Kate Middleton is planning her royal wedding

We can't wait to see Kate Middleton's wedding dress on 29 April, but she's bound to look sensational.

Prince William's bride has been a stunner since she was a teenager.

At 16, after passing her GCSEs, the shy schoolgirl returned to Malborough public school with mature confidence.

'She always had a lovely, willowy figure,' recalls pal Gemma Williamson, 'but now she had filled out and the colour was back in her cheeks.

'Although she was sports, she was very feminine, too.

'She never wore particularly fashionable or revealing clothes - just jeans and jumpers - but she had an innate sense of style.'

It was when Kate went up to the University Of St Andrews that she met Prince William and they hit it off right away.

A break-up in 2007 simply strengthened their relationship.

'It made me a stronger person,' recalls Kate, 28.

'You find out things about yourself that maybe you hadn't realised.

'I think you can get quite consumed by a relationship when you are younger and I really valued that time for me.'

Coleen Rooney: I haven’t had a boob job!

Coleen Rooney has laughed off claims she's splashed out on a £10,000 boob job.

The super-WAG was rumoured to have had plastic surgery after showing off her amazing shape on holiday in Dubai with husband Wayne, just a year after the birth of son Kai.

'The secret is halterneck bikinis,' she insists.

'In some of the supposed "before" shots I was in a bandeau bikini, and they don't do me any justice.

'A halterneck bikini pulls you up.'

That's not to say Coleen won't consider a little nip and tuck in the future.

'I won't say I'll never have surgery, because you never know how you're going to feel in years to come,' she says.

'But I'd never do anything too dramatic - you see such terrible sights where it's gone horribly wrong.'
