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!

After months of speculation, rumours and trying to keep their unconfirmed relationship secret….Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart tell the world they are a couple at long last!

The stars of the Twilight films who play the ‘irrevocably in love’ vampire Edward Cullen and mortal Bella Swan have come clean about their relationship which they have both denied for some time. The attention surrounding the lovebirds started when filming began for the second film in the saga ‘New Moon’. Since late 2008, they have tried to avoid all public appearances together as to not rouse suspicions…but we all secretly knew right?! They have constantly reiterated they were ‘just good friends’ but heart throb Pattinson revealed all on the red carpet at this years BAFTA’s.

The former Harry Potter star said: “It is extremely difficult but we are together, yes.

‘We can’t arrive at the same time because of the fans. It goes crazy. This was supposed to be a public appearance as a couple but it’s impossible. We are here together and it’s a public event but it’s not easy.”

Wow! How long has he been itching to say that?! He must’ve also been very proud of his American girlfriend as she won the Rising Star award at the BAFTA ceremony. Despite not mentioning Pattinson in her acceptance speech, she did thank all the hardcore Twilight fans who voted for her as this specific award was voted for by the public. It was no surprise to see her take home the accolade as the Twilight saga is most definitely the phenomenon of the moment. However, I’m sure there are many a broken hearted teen (and a few adults…ahem) who will shed a tear over the recent announcement… but there’s always Taylor Lautner I suppose!

Do you know your Cullens from your Blacks? Alice’s secret power to Jane’s? Who said what in which book?! We’ve got SO many Twilight quizzes for you to play you won’t know where to start… so I’ll give you a head start! Find them all right here.

Enjoy!

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

The mystery over the death of the ‘King of Pop’ Michael Jackson continues as his personal physician, Dr. Conrad Murray, pleads not guilty to being charged with involuntary manslaughter.

Under the laws of the Californian state, if convicted he could face up to 4 years behind bars. Prosecution are stating that Murray: “did unlawfully, and without malice, kill Michael Joseph Jackson”.  But by pleading not guilty, it’s been said he should expect a fight from the rest of the Jackson clan as they still believe there is more to this case involving the physician and possibly other suspects.

conrad

One of Jackson’s sisters LaToya released a statement immediately after the hearing stating that she will continue to fight until ‘proper justice is served’. The rest of the family including the family lawyer feels that the charge is not enough and it is simply ‘a whitewash’. As more details come to light, Dr. Murray has been accused of giving Michael Jackson an overdose of general anasthetic called ‘propofol’ which has also been called the ‘milk of amnesia’, plus another two sedatives. However, the correct protocol is said to have not been followed. Jackson suffered from chronic insomnia and he personally hired the physician to be his personal doctor in preparation for his UK comeback concerts. Reports have shown that the singer was in good health before his untimely death and it was the cocktail of drugs that intoxicated him and caused his heart to stop.

Michael Jackson fans all over the world are crying out for justice and want to know the truth behind his death. Tickets for his comeback gigs sold out in record timimg as people anticipated the return of one of the world’s greatest performers. As the trial contines, Dr. Murray has been released on bail and been fined three times more than the usual amount. Do you think this is enough?

Do you miss the King of Pop? Do you know your Billie Jean from your Dirty Diana? Well then take some of our MANY Michael Jackson quizzes and keep his memory alive here at Triviala!

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”.

katie-price-and-alex-reid

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.

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”.

2010 set be the gloomiest year ever?

2009 was the year of unemployment, busting banks and a wet summer that didn’t see the sun put his hat for long at all.

But as Britain continues to face the ‘big freeze’ and the coldest spell recorded for 20 years, it’s looking like a gloomy start to 2010. Over 1000 people from the UK and Ireland took part in a survey conducted by Triviala.com revealing that over the last decade, 30% asked were not looking forward to 2010 and cannot see the current economy taking a positive turn or recovering from the country’s state of recession.

Around a third of people said that they were basing their New Years resolutions around saving money with the usual promises of eating less chocolate, going to the gym more and curbing our bad habits taking a back seat.

Scott O Donnell, spokesman for Triviala.com said: “its not surprising the survey suggests 75% of people will be using more online discount vouchers in the coming year. We are all looking to the web for entertainment and ways to save.”

The survey also revealed that while more than half of the adults asked were looking to be taking less holidays this year, they were also expecting another rainy summer in the UK.

big freeze

However, we aren’t expecting 2010 to be completely full of doom and gloom as it seems the British public are feeling positive about our sporting stars and events this year. Still riding high on England’s 2009 Ashes win, Jenson Button with his F1 victory and the medal winning rising stars of the 2008’s Beijing Olympics, a staggering 70% of people are feeling positive and holding out for more sporting success this year. As we all know, nothing beats watching Wimbledon on ‘Murray Mount’ and cheering on England at the pub during the World Cup. The stresses of work and financial worries are put aside for those 90 minutes.

So whilst we have come to the end of the noughties and started the year knee deep in snow, all is still not lost! 2010 could be the year for change- let’s hope for more sporting celebrations with gold medals to boot and fingers crossed we are brought a hot, hot summer after surviving a icy cold winter.

Years we were not looking forward to

2. 2000

4. 2008

5. 2001
