In case you hadn't already heard the good news, Kim Kardashian is officially off the market! Kim's boyfriend of six months and New Jersey Nets player Kris Humphries popped the question last week, and the duo announced their engagement today on the cover of People magazine.
"I couldn’t be happier!" Kim wrote on her blog this morning. "I finally found my missing puzzle piece, I’m complete!"
Now, don't get us wrong, we couldn't be happier for Kim, but we're also a little worried. After all, Kim's engagement means we're going to have to fit yet another celebrity wedding into our schedules. Granted, we're not actually invited to any of the upcoming celeb nuptials (not yet at least!), but obsessing about these events requires a lot of time! If you've got the same concern, then don't despair. We've parsed through all the recently engaged couples and put together a handy calendar of when we think they'll tie the knot (we'll update it with official dates when we get our invitations in the mail), so you can plan accordingly.

After months of waiting for official ephemera from "Breaking Dawn," the studio finally threw us a bone yesterday: the teaser poster—that one-sheet paper promise of things to come—showed its face at last. And...well. "Anticlimactic" is a fitting word, maybe? But hey, now that we've got our initial reactions out of the way ("What's with the trees?!" "Where are the vampires?!" "Why are there no shirtless Lautners on this poster?!!"), we've moved on to more important questions.
(Click on the image above to see our entire flipbook of "Twilight" teaser posters!)
Such as, where does this promising piece of graphic design fit into the oeuvre generale of "Twilight Saga" teasers past? Let's take a look back at 'em.
Talk about coming full circle, Gleeks. The hit-and-miss second season of "Glee" started with a nod to New York City by covering Jay-Z and Alicia Keys' anthem "Empire State of Mind" in the premiere and wrapped things up with a love letter to the Big Apple. The gang from Lima, Ohio, packed their bags and headed to the bright lights of NYC for Nationals and took Gleeks right along for the wild ride with them.
It's been debated all season whether "Glee" is a comedy or a drama, but I'd argue that it fits in the fantasy genre, especially if you consider the version of Manhattan they experienced. Need proof? "Glee" New York included a quiet Times Square, romantic dates while Gershwin and "Lady and the Tramp" songs playing in the background, celebrity encounters with Patti LuPone at Sardi's, having actual breakfast at Tiffany's and performing impromptu musical numbers that include a mash-up of the classic "New York, New York" with Madonna's "I Love New York." As a New York resident I hate to break it to you non-NY Gleeks, but most days living in this wonderful city rarely resembles that.

Yeah, yeah. I should have known that when "The Twilight Saga" Twitter sent out a link to the first teaser poster for the upcoming "Breaking Dawn: Part 1" it wouldn't include a half-naked Edward wrapping Bella in a sexy, smoldering embrace. But a girl can dream, right? What we did get, however, is very pretty while embodying "tease" to a T.
The one-sheet depicts a landscape in which dawn is...breaking. Yep, it's that simple. Add a few Forks-worthy evergreens (as a Washington state native, I can attest that they're up to snuff), and you've got yourself one picturesque (albeit slightly sparse) poster.
(See the full one-sheet after the jump!)

I would be none too surprised if "Hunger Games" casting director Debra Zane has a sofa full of pillows embroidered with the mantra "You can't please everyone." Or perhaps a fridge festooned with similarly inspirational magnets. Because let's face it, casting Suzanne Collins' dystopian thriller has been an exercise in differing opinions from the very beginning. Maybe even before the beginning. So it's simply par for the course that the latest big-name casting (Lenny Kravitz as costumer Cinna) is creating a divide among experts and fans.
We checked in with some of our "Hunger Games" fansite friends to get a read on the fandom's temperature following the news.
"Some people were like, 'This came out of left field!' But I think he's going to do great," Pauline Hughes of The Hob said. "Fan reactions have been a broad range of the spectrum. Some people absolutely hate it. They don't see him as that role at all. Some people are really, really happy with it."

Ladies, you may not get to smooch Justin Bieber in public (ahem, Selena Gomez), but don't despair. Now, with just one spray of his new perfume, Someday, you can lose yourself in a dream world where it's only you and him. Or, at least that's what the new commercial for his women's fragrance promises.
In the ad, a young girl spritzes herself with Someday and suddenly finds herself transported into the clouds with a leather-clad Justin wooing her and nuzzling her neck. Dreamy, right?
Anyway, JB isn't the first guy to appear in a fragrance commercial. Plenty of other hotties (including his mentor Usher) have blazed that trail before him. Check out five of our favorites after the jump, and tell us where Justin's new advertisement ranks among them!

We all know that the "Twilight" cast members create varying levels of fan hysteria wherever they go. Especially the big three (i.e. Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner). But according to Taylor's "Abduction" costar Tim Griffin, whom we caught up with at the "Kung Fu Panda 2" premiere recently, the 19-year-old actor takes it all in stride. (No surprise there!)
"Taylor's great. I've done a couple movies with George Clooney, and I thought that was the highest level of fame I could ever experience," Tim explained. "With Taylor, it's that level with a hysteria that goes along with it and he handles it beautifully. He's a real solid, feet-on-the-ground-type kid, so it was very exciting to work with him."

All together now: And may the odds be ever in your favor! If you've been dying to know who will utter that famous phrase as arena announcer Claudius Templesmith in "The Hunger Games," wonder no more. Toby Jones, whom you may know as the voice of Dobby in the "Harry Potter" series or as Truman Capote in "Infamous" (whichever way your film-viewing proclivities lean), has just been added to the ever-growing cast according to Lionsgate's official Twitter.
Now, Toby isn't the first actor I'd think of to fill the role of a bombastic, booming announcer. After all, he so perfected Truman Capote's nasal timbre that I wouldn't be surprised if he spoke like that on the daily. However, this YouTube video, in which Toby discusses modifying his speech and body language to embody the "In Cold Blood" author (and, in which I should add, he speaks in a completely pleasant, "normal" voice) has me seeing the error of my pre-conceived ways.

Every day a multitude of stars wander through the halls of MTV News to talk about their latest projects and goof around with staff members. But sometimes we catch stars elsewhere, and that's why we put together Spotted!, a daily compendium of stars in the wild.
It's hard work perfecting an amazing, awards ceremony-worthy smooch, which is probably why Justin Bieber and his lady love Selena Gomez escaped for a Hawaiian vacation following their much-talked-about appearance at this weekend's Billboard Music Awards (where the Biebs scored six statues, including Top New Artist).
The teen dreams were snapped yesterday ready for some fun in the sun in Maui. Selena looked adorbs in a magenta bandeau top and cut-off jean shorts while Justin rocked a pair of white shades, board shorts and a bare chest. (We hope Selena's toting some serious SPF in that leopard-print bag of hers. Justin looks like he needs a thorough application.)

Boy, was there a lot to keep track of during the second season of "Glee." Emma had lingering feelings for Will but then married (and subsequently divorced) her sexy dentist Dr. Carl. Sue Sylvester flip-flopped between evil schemer and heartfelt friend, and exes Quinn and Finn's feelings for one another came and went faster than Sunshine Corazon in the halls of McKinley High School.
Still, no matter how many revolving story lines showed up in "Glee" this year, one thing was always constant: seriously great music. Not only did New Directions give their own original songs such as "Loser Like Me" a go (something they will do again during tonight's episode) but they covered some classics and modern favorites. As we count down to tonight's eagerly anticipated season finale (9 p.m. on Fox after "American Idol"), we wanted to look back at the five best songs and performances from this past year!
