All of the guests dressed as characters such as Donald Duck, Goofy, Woody from Toy Story, Shrek, Fiona, Rapunzel, Cinderella and Snow White. Julie says, ''It started off as a bit of a joke, but everyone loved it and it went on from there. I tried to keep track of who everyone said they were going to be, but we did end up with four people dressed as Pocahontas. The reverend said many things you never expect to hear in church – like “you now may take off your heads”. The Flints have been married for 20 years.

 

Robert Downey Jr. recently injured his ankle.

Mila Kunis recently tried to help Macaulay Culkin. A source tells the National Enquirer, “Ashton convinced Mila to call Mac during their getaway in Bali. So Mila had an assistant track him down on the phone. When she final­ly heard Mac’s voice, she burst into tears. Then Mila begged Mac to seek treatment at rehab. She desperately tried to make him understand that it was not too late for him to get well. While Mila was going on about how a long, intensive stint in rehab would help get his career back on track, Mac played dumb. He kept saying, ‘I don’t know what you’re talking about, Mila. I’m doing great.’ Mila knew that Mac was a mess after their breakup, but she had no idea his drug use was so severe. She’s praying that he gets help before it’s too late.”

 

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes both plan to accompany Suri on her first day of school. A source tells Perez Hilton, "It's a big moment in Suri's life and Katie wants Tom to be a part of that. Of course, there will be security concerns and Tom doesn't want to disrupt other parents and students at the school with his presence, which means he very well could slip in and out via a back entrance. Katie doesn't want Suri to suffer because of their divorce and both parents are truly putting the needs of their little girl ahead of their own feelings."

 

Brad Pitt recently congratulated Jennifer Aniston on her engagement. A source tells the Daily Mirror, “Brad gave Jen a quick call to say how pleased he was to hear that she was getting married. He jokingly asked if he should ‘save the date’, and they both laughed, but told her in all seriousness that he was really happy for her and Justin. He wished her luck and told her he hopes they’re very happy together. Brad and Angelina is due to marry in the next few weeks and she wished him all the best for his wedding, too. Brad and Jen don’t get in touch that often as they’ve both moved on with their lives. Jen does still chat to his mum, Jane, so there are rumors in Hollywood that she will make an appearance at the wedding.”

 

Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux may elope. A source tells Hollywoodlife.com, “Everyone is really excited for them, It’s amazing to see how happy Justin makes Jen, and everyone was always hoping that he would propose. Justin has been dying to do it. His friends knew it was coming. I wouldn’t be surprised if they eloped,” the source goes on to say that they may start a family too. Jen loves babies. They would be great at raising a family together. They’re in it for the long run. Those two are madly in love.”

 

Jimmy Kimmel and Molly McNearney got engaged while vacationing in South Africa. Their rep says, ''After Jimmy and Sarah [Silverman] broke up, Molly and Jimmy both found themselves single, and they clicked. They're really happy together.''

 

Kobe Bryant's wife, Vanessa, wouldn't be married to him if he was a loser. She says, “I certainly would not want to be married to somebody that can’t win championships. If you’re sacrificing time away from my family and myself for the benefit of winning championships, then winning a championship should happen every single year.”

 

Kristen Stewart has been contacing Robert Pattinson. A source tells Perez Hilton, “She’s sent Rob handwritten notes — dozens of them — begging him to take her back. She says things like, ‘I can’t live without you. I love you. You are the one, and I made the biggest mistake of my life.’ Kristen has offered to do everything to win Rob's heart back -- she even suggested couples therapy, which is a big change for her. She said they could talk everything out with a third party. She simply won't back down."

 

Kelly Clarkson is planning to re-release Stronger at Christmas with six new songs.

 

Kelly Clarkson's dog is ok after almost dying. She Tweeted: "I had the worst day yesterday because my little baby Joplin, one my dogs, almost died and I was a wreck. He is now at a vet hospital and doing better. Please say a prayer for him. Thank you to all of my fans that came out last night to my Ohio show! Y'all are the best! Thank you for making my night better. You have no idea how much I appreciate it. My boyfriend is a pilot and flew in to surprise me and be with me because I was so sad. He wins Best Boyfriend Award ....hands down. I'm very lucky he loves me so much."

 

Adam Levine won't be getting naked on "American Horror Story". He says, "I don't think I'll be getting naked on the show. There's no nudity for me. But you'll see: It's definitely interesting."

 

Elton John's bassist of 20 years, Robert Birch, allegedly killed himself with a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. He also played with Billy Joel, Stevie Wonder, Eric Clapton, Cher, Sting and Tina Turner.

 

Taylor Swift's new song, We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together, set a new iTunes record when it topped the singles chart within 50 minutes of its release. It dethroned Lady GaGa‘s Born This Way as the fastest-selling single in digital history.

 

Joe Jonas says Taylor Swift's "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" is not about him. "I don't think we've ever tried [to get back together] another time, so I can tell you it's not about me. That said, I think the song is great. Taylor does pop music really well and I'm happy for her. I haven't really spoken to her recently, but I was able to go to her concert last year, and her show live is so phenomenal. I would say anybody should go see it if they haven't had a chance."

 

 Best villains of the 21st Century:
A website called Hitfix has ranked the best movie bad guys but only for this century, so you have 12 years from which to pick.  They ranked 20 names, some of which you'll agree with, others you'll question. Ranking at the top: HEATH LEDGER's Joker in "The Dark Knight, the self-described "an agent of chaos" who wants to see the world burn. Why so serious?

Other obvious entries include DENZEL WASHINGTON's character in "Training Day," JAVIER BARDEM's Anton Chigurh in "No Country For Old Men" and DANIEL DAY LEWIS' Daniel Plainview in "There Will Be Blood" --all Oscar-winning performances, by the way.  Incidentally, Lewis is the only actor to make the list twice. His role as Bill the Butcher in "Gangs of New York" also got a nod.


   Other selections seemed odd. Syndrome from "The Incredibles," the a wannabe superhero sidekick went to the dark side? Did you have to think about that one to remember who it was?

Here's the top 10:
10. Saruman, "The Lord of the Rings," played by Christopher Lee
 9. Vincent, "Collateral," played by Tom Cruise
 8. Daniel Plainview, "There Will Be Blood," Daniel Day Lewis
 7. Anton Chigurh, "No Country For Old Men," Javier Bardem
 6. Alonzo Harris, "Training Day," Denzel Washington
#!#!#
 5. Syndrome, "The Incredibles," voiced by Jason Lee
 4. Patrick Bateman, "American Psycho," Christian Bale
 3. O-Ren Ishii, "Kill Bill," Lucy Liu
 2. Voldermort, "Harry Potter," Ralph Fiennes
 1. The Joker, "The Dark Knight," Heath Ledger
