Congratulations are in order for Natalie Portman! No, the "Black Swan" star hasn't racked up another nomination (well, not today, at least!) for her powerhouse performance in the dark dance drama. Rather, People reports that the 29-year-old actress is not only engaged to choreographer Benjamin Millepied (whom she met on the set of "Swan"), but they are expecting their first child! It will be the first marriage for both.

While no wedding date has been announced yet, Natalie and Benjamin are set to welcome their baby in 2011.

2010 isn't quite over yet, but 2011 is already shaping up to be an epic year. The future is now! A new decade is beginning! And we just know that this is the year that the government will finally start handing out those personal jetpacks and flying cars that we've naturally come to expect as residents of the 21st century.

But if they don't make good with the jetpacks, there are still several other things about 2011 that have us quivering with anticipation—and at the top of the list is the adrenaline-fueled, sure-to-be stunning, girl-powerful new flick "Sucker Punch."

The proof is in the figgy pudding—Hollywood Crush staffers were very good girls in 2010. How else to explain the bounty we found under the tree Christmas morning? While not all of our gifts were wish-list winners (thanks for the Snuggie, dad), many of our favorites, unsurprisingly, were pop-culture related. What better way to wish an entertainment writer (or anyone, for that matter) "Merry Christmas" than stuffing Ian Somerhalder in her stocking? Keep reading to find out what pop-cult gifts we wished for—and received—and add your own in the comments section!

Hollywood Crush readers, meet the Sexy Ryans—the boy band of our dreams.

Since you've been very good this year, we got you a holiday present in the form of four sexy dudes named Ryan—that's Ryan Reynolds, Ryan Gosling, Ryan Kwanten and Ryan Phillippe—dancing a hip-hop Christmas jig. Yes, for the annual Hollywood Crush Elf Yourself, we decided to have a bunch of attractive Ryans ring in Christmas dressed as four talented dancing elves.

Watching their fancy footwork makes us wonder if any of our favorite Ryans have hidden dancing skills of their own—you know Gosling's got to have some secret breakdancing experience up his sleeve that we didn't see on "The Mickey Mouse Club." To be honest, if any of these boys are half as good as their elf counterparts they should probably form a celeb team and enter "America's Best Dance Crew" together.

Hollywood Crush joins the Sexy Ryans in wishing you a very Happy Holidays!

Love was in the air in 2010 despite all the unfortunate celebrity break-ups, and we here at Hollywood Crush want to relish in it. You already told us which celebrity wedding was your favorite, but now we're curious which of the many Hollywood couples who joined forces in 2010 you liked the best! The most obvious would be Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson, but Katy Perry and Russell Brand also took their relationship to the next level when they got engaged on New Year's and Taylor Swift and Jake Gyllenhaal surprised all of us when they started dating in October. Then of course there was Chelsea Handler and 50 Cent and the on-again/off-again relationship of Sammi and Ronnie on "Jersey Shore."

From meat dresses to dramatic gowns, 2010 was undoubtedly the year of the fashion statement. Stars like Lady Gaga and Rihanna pushed the envelope with awe-inspiring looks, while others like Taylor Swift, Emma Watson and Lea Michele seriously upped the glam factor. We dissected the best and worst styles throughout the year, but with 2011 fast approaching we thought it was time to give some due credit to those stars who shined brightest. Keep reading to find out which red carpet ladies made the 2010 fashion cut.

Most Talked About Style: Lady Gaga
Lady Gaga is known for her outlandish taste (and her affinity for pants-less outfits), but the star went above and beyond when she hit the 2010 Video Music Awards red carpet in a dress made of out meat (accessories included!). Whether you loved it or hated it (and according to our poll, the majority of you weren't fans), there's no denying that Gaga's meat dress had everyone talking for weeks on end.

Hollywood isn't just an axis of entertainment, power, and talent—it's also a rotating hookup heaven for hot young celebs. (Ah yes. This is what happens when too many pretty people swim in the same dating pool.) But while 2010 saw plenty of ogle-worthy canoodling , not all famous romances are created equal. Who were the hottest couples of the year? We've rounded them up!

Let's just start with the obvious: Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart, whose finally-kinda-sorta-confirmed romance this year proved that if "Twilight" fans want something badly enough, they can, in fact, will it into existence.

Christmas is only days away, and if there's anything we love more than the presents and TV specials the holiday brings, it's the delicious Christmas dinner. Whether you opt for a ham, a roast or some sort of vegetarian alternative (Tofurky, anyone?), getting the family together and packing on all the pounds you just burned off from Thanksgiving is something to celebrate.

Well, we have a different sort of family here at Hollywood Crush, and surprisingly, a lot of them are very good cooks. Our favorite celebrities, like Blake Lively, Kristen Stewart and Emma Roberts, just happen to be amateur chefs, as well as actors, so we're putting them to work, cooking us Christmas dinner. Hey, a Hollywood Crush writer can dream, right? Keep reading to see who's making what.

It was a big year for "The Hunger Games" series as "Mockingjay," the third and final book, hit bookstores and the film adaptation gained a few key players. Even with movies like "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse" and "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" in theaters, "Hunger Games" was without a doubt the young adult series we were in love with most this year. In honor of the way it took over our affections, we're taking a look back at its top news stories 0f 2010.

Valentine's Day came early for us when the cover image of "Mockingjay" was teased on February 11, and we tried to guess what we could expect in the finale based on its design. When MTV was invited to Scholastic headquarters at the end of May, we got to chat with author Suzanne Collins who read a bit of book two, "Catching Fire," and chatted about the upcoming film adaptation of "The Hunger Games" that we've been looking forward to. With that news fresh in our minds, we sounded off on the actresses we'd most love to see play Katniss Everdeen.
