As the Oscars are nearly upon us, this Sunday is sure to be the biggest event of the year. And lucky Brit actress Carey Mulligan who has been nominated for the  Best Actress award is happy for another reason at the moment… her Transformers star boyfriend Shia LaBeouf.

“An Education” starlet Mulligan met the action hero on the set of their new film “Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps” last August and it seems the couple have been well and truly loved up ever since.

LaBeouf has been linked to co star Megan Fox and singer Rihanna but it seems he may have now found himself a talented English rose to call his girlfriend. Lets hope he escorts her down the red carpet on Sunday as to make their first public appearance together.

Michael Douglas who also stars in the follow up to the 1987 Wall Street classic, warned the both of them about the dangers of off screen relationships but also made  it clear that they are perfect for each other. He said: “I warned them, “Don’t ever do that”, but they are an item and they are having a great time.”

Well we have our fingers crossed for the sensational actress and after winning the BAFTA for the same award, we hope it’s in the bag!

As one of the most highly anticipated music award ceremonies of the year, the 2010 BRIT Awards were a show stopping success with some amazing performances, killer red carpet outfits and Lady GaGa and JLS holding more than one award each at the end of the night.

Like the American ‘Grammy Awards’, winning a BRIT is a prestigious achievement for any British artist to take home. It was a spectacular night for Lily Allen as she celebrated winning ‘British Female Solo Artist’ having had to walk away empty handed for the last 3 years. But this year she really did get what she rightly deserved having as she was the best selling female artist of 2009 with her latest album “It’s not me, it’s you”. The pint sized Londoner opened the ceremony with her number 1 single ‘The Fear’, making her entrance on a pink and silver glittery rocket. What a star! Later on in the evening, she accepted her award wearing a bright orange wig and giggled: “I only wore this orange wig because I thought I would make it more difficult for the cameramen to find me and catch my disappointed face!”

Other big award winners were Lady GaGa and JLS.  Crazy GaGa flew the flag for the international artists by winning not one but three awards last night for Best International Female, Best International Album and Best International Breakthrough Artist. She performed an unreleased song wearing a big beehive wig, a lace mask and a half lacy all in one ensemble and she dedicated the song to British designer Alexander McQueen. Collecting her awards she sounded quite emotional and thanked her “little monster” fans.

X Factor runners up JLS prove you don’t have to win the biggest talent show on earth…when you win 2 BRIT awards off your own back! Winning Best British Breakthrough Act and Best British Single the boys are proving to be Britain’s boyband of the moment.

Hot favourite Florence and the Machine took away the said most prestigious award-  Best British Album for ‘Lungs’.

Other big news was brave Cheryl Cole’s performance of ‘Fight for this Love’ as her marital problems have been hitting the headlines all week. Host Peter Kay said as Cole finished: “Never a truer word spoken”. Poor Cheryl, fingers crossed Ashley Cole fixes this mess before it’s too late!

Sadly Brit newcomer Pixie Lott walked away with nothing despite being nominated for 3 awards. However, she did look amazing on the red carpet alongside the Sugababes, Kylie Minogue, Cat Deeley and Leona Lewis.

A list of full winners is below:

British Female Solo Artist: Lily Allen

British Male Solo Artist: Dizzee Rascal

British Breakthrough Act: JLS

British Group: Kasabian

MasterCard British Album: “Lungs” – Florence and the Machine

British Single: “Beat Again” – JLS

Critics’ Choice: Ellie Goulding

BRITs Album of 30 Years: “(What’s the Story) Morning Glory?” – Oasis

The BRITs Hits 30: “Wannabe/Who Do You Think You Are” – Spice Girls

International Female Solo Artist: Lady Gaga

International Male Solo Artist: Jay-Z

International Album: “The Fame” – Lady Gaga

International Breakthrough Act Voted by MTV Viewers: Lady Gaga

Outstanding Contribution Award: Robbie Williams

Katie Price has married Celebrity Big Brother winner, cage fighter Alex Reid in a 22 minuite ceremony in Las Vegas. The mother of three only divorced ‘Mysterious Girl’ singer Peter Andre in May 2009.

The newlyweds have been dating for seven months and has been a rollercoaster on/off saga. When Price appeared for the second time on ‘I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!’, in her exit interview she publicly dumped Alex on air. After saying she had done “a lot of thinking in the jungle” she went onto say “I wanted to be on my own, I don’t need a relationship. I hope we can remain friends”. Ant and Dec then asked her if Alex was still her boyfriend, she simply said “I’m not with him”.

Some people have said Katie has wed the CBB cross dressing winner for popularity and media attention. However, her agent has published a statement claiming that: “Their decision to marry has not been made with any media deal in place. It is purely down to their love for each other.” Hmmm, well this is publicity hungry Jordan we are talking about and I’m not that convinced, are you?

In an interview with OK magazine only published on Tuesday, Price had said that she will be having children with Alex and that they would be “together forever”.

According to reports, the couple didn’t allow any filming or photography to take place during the ceremony. Although ITV2’s cameras were there as they also screen Price’s relality TV show. So no doubt there will be at least some footage or a predictable OK front cover story! Let’s just wait and see…

It seems January’s big freeze has warmed all the celebrity hearts! The Kills frontman Jamie Hince proposing to supermodel Kate Moss, Little Britain funnyman popping the question to model of the moment Lara Stone and popstar Michael Buble making the beauty in his new music video his fiancee too.

What a glamorous bunch of couples!

Rumour has it Jamie Hince proposed to Kate whilst holidaying in the Caribbean on her 36th birthday. It seems like its something the world has been waiting for after Moss’ disatrous relationship with Pete Doherty. Its also been thought that the engagement ring was carefully picked out with the help of the Topshop tycoon Sir Phillip Green, who is also Kate’s boss and business partner. Best friend of Moss Sadie Frost should be giving herself a pat on the back as it was her that introduced the soon to be newlyweds backstage at a gig.

Kate Moss and Jamie Hince got together in 2007

The lastest star to pop the question is David Walliams. The comedy actor has had numerous flings over the years with women such as Abi Titmuss, Denise Van Outen and Lauren Budd but it seems he is now a one woman man after proposing to catwalk queen Lara Stone. The dutch model is said to be ecstatic after David flew out to Mexico and got down on one knee. The whirlwind romance only started in September and the couple  have tried to avoid public appearences together. Stone has been on the cover of British Vogue and is the new face of Louis Vuitton’s campaign. Being one of the most sought after models, Walliams must be pinching himself!

Walliams confirmed the news telling The Sun: “Yes, it’s true, we’re engaged and blissfully happy”.

Other celebs in love is jazz crooner Michael Buble who proposed to his girlfriend, Luisana Lopilato, an Argentinian actress. The lucky lady appeared in video for Buble’s hit “Just Haven’t Met You Yet”.

Simon Cowell has confirmed this year will be his last as a judge on American Idol but will be launching a US version of The X Factor.

The music mogul signed a contract with Fox network and the search for a new Leona Lewis, Joe McElderry or Alexandra Burke will begin Autumn 2011. The new venture also marks the first project Cowell is teaming up with Sir Phillip Green for, the business tycoon behind Topshop.  With the success of the UK version behind them, the multi miliionaires look to become even richer!

simon cowell x factor

Syco, the  joint production company betweeen Cowell and Sony Music own and produce the X Factor format, meaning Simon will accumulate a more substantial amount of money via The X Factor as on American Idol he was paid only as a judge. Simon’s excitement was shown last night when he said: “‘I’m thrilled that we have put a date on the launch of the U.S. version of The X Factor, and delighted to be continuing to work with Fox”.

The X Factor is shown in more than 17 countries globally and is the most popular entertainment show in the  world. The UK entertainment TV formats are fast becoming the worlds leaders. There was ‘Pop Idol’, across the pond becoming American Idol, ‘Britains Got Talent’ was so successful we now have ‘America’s Got Talent’ with old X Factor judge Sharon Osbourne holding the fort and the BBC’s ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ has been transformed into ‘Dancing with the Stars’ in the USA. Simon Cowell knows a good thing when he sees one!

Do you think stateside X Factor will be as successful as the UK’s? Will you miss Cowell on the American Idol panel?

To get you prepped and ready for a star spangled American X Factor in 2011, why not play one of our many X Factor quizzes? Test your contestants, judges and songs knowledge to the max!

Jonathan Ross has announced he’s leaving his job as a radio and TV presenter at the BBC.

The presenter who has worked with the cooperation for 13 years decided not to renegotiate his contract which is due to end in July.

Ross announced he would be quitting his BBC1 talk show, his Radio 2 Saturday morning programme and his late night film programme, but will be able to continue to host the BAFTA Film Awards and other specials.

Jonathan-Ross_280_693317a

Although Ross, 49, was suspended in 2008 over a series of phone calls made to the actor Andrew Sachs on Russell Brand Radio 2 show, he’s announcement has come at an unexpected time. The phone scandal “had blown over and he was getting on with things at the BBC.”

His salary a reported £18 million over the last three years has also caused controversy and he was expected to take a pay cut following other BBC stars. The presenter has said his decision is not “financially motivated”.

In a statement the presenter said: “While there I have had a wonderful time working with the BBC, and am very proud of the shows I have made while there”. Jonathan Ross is thought to already have offers from US TV and the UK’s other channels ITV and Channel 4.

Ross has thanked his fans posting on Twitter: “Thanks for all the kind words about my decision. I feel sad that I can’t keep making the shows so many of you love.””

Ahh we’re going to miss Jonathan Ross, Friday nights won’t be the same :(

Russell Brand is to wed ‘Waking up in Vegas’ singer Katy Perry after proposing to her on holiday in India on New Years Eve.

The eccentric funny man apparently sent a message to The Sun confirming the rumours texting in:

“It’s true. Much love”. Aww.

The news will no doubt be breaking hearts all over the country as the ‘lothario’ has been named one of the Sexiest Men in the World. Known for his crazy hair, skin tight black jeans and bed hopping antics, he has never been out of the spotlight over the last few years. His new fiancee hit the pop scene with her infectious number 1 single ‘I Kissed a Girl’ followed by some more Top 10 hits including ‘Hot and Cold’ and ‘Thinking of You’. Perry is also recognised for being one not too shy away from wearing wacky outfits on stage and hosting numerous award shows.

russell brand and katy perry india

The couple only met 3 and a half months ago but are clearly loved up and have been inseperable ever since; Katy even managing to brave the recent cold and snowy weather in London! It seems Katy had been dazzled by Brand when they filmed a cameo together for the film ‘Get Him to the Greek’ in September saying: “My scene called for me to make out with him. And on the way down the stairs after the scene, I was hopping like a bunny. I hop like a bunny when I’m happy- I get a bit childlike”.

Well we hope they are truly happy together in Celebsville! And why not check out some of our wedding quizzes from celebrity dresses to fun trivia about that special day!
