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!

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.

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”.

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…

What do you think about Jordnas latest conquest? True love or jumping on Alex’s fame bandwagon? Fancy seeing how much you know about Katie Price and ever interesting trials and tribulations then click here for loads of quizzes. Or Big Brother fans can test their knowledge on a decade of housemates!

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”.

After Russell Brand and Katy Perry’s engagement was announced only a few days ago, we’re trying hard to keep up with the ongoing love fest!

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.

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
