Charlize Theron, 30, was photographed getting all kissy-face with her boyfriend of five years, Irish actor Stuart Townsend, 33, at the Lakers game on Friday. They look incredibly happy and in love, and Charlize was seen with what looks like an engagement ring on her left ring finger.

The couple had some relationship trouble in March, but seemed to have patched it up. Here’s the recap:

On March 11, The Sun reported that Charlize and Stuart had split, with a related quote from Charlize saying that neither she or Stuart wanted to get married.
On March 14, Charlize’s publicist released a statement that the split rumors were false.
About a week later Star reported that Charlize wanted some alone time from Stuart to concentrate on her busy career
About a week after that, at the end of March, the couple was photographed after a romantic weekend at the Chateau Marmont.
And last week they were seen walking along the beach hand in hand near her house in Malibu.
I think I know what happened, because it’s a tried and true female relationship strategy. When a guy won’t commit, you act like you want the same thing. Then you break it off from him, and he comes running back.
It seems to be popular to try to announce your engagement to the public by showing up at a Lakers game with a ring. Cameron Diaz was seen with a ring on her engagement finger at a Lakers game with Justin Timberlake on April 10th, although the press doesn’t seem to have picked up on the news yet.
We’re calling this an exclusive because we spotted the ring in the pics, and no one seemed to notice it on Oh No They Didn’t! where we found the pictures. Other blogs that have posted the pics don’t mention it.

As part of an LA Times newspaper promotion for MI3, small devices were added to newspaper boxes that play the movie’s theme song when the box is opened. The red plastic devices with little wires came loose in some cases, though and some customers thought they were bombs.

The bomb squad was called in LA and the sheriff’s department blew up the newspaper box, thinking they were getting rid of a possible bomb threat. Music on websites is quite annoying, it’s even worse when it comes from an unexpected source.

Naomi Watts’ Oscar attire included a ripped dress and a flouncy ruffled number that may have been a misguided attempt to hide a growing baby bump. (Yes, we said this already, but a little repetition never hurts.)

Now she was spotted out at the Tribeca film fest with her boyfriend, Liev Shreiber, wearing a full-out poncho with horizontal stripes! Her face looks more filled out too.

Schreiber is said to have bought Watts a 5 carat engagement ring at jeweler Neil Lane. Watts kept her hands conspicuously in her pockets while these pictures were taken, and it’s hard to see if she’s wearing a ring.

Watts and Schreiber have been plagued by rumors that their relationship is in trouble, with The NY Daily News reporting that Schreiber is controlling and that both were looking for new partners. Reader Millie points out that The NY Daily News doesn’t like Schreiber and that they “never fail to take a stab at him.” She thinks that Watts and Schreiber each had a difficult childhood and are having trouble adjusting to a long-term stable relationship. (We have learned a lot from readers like Millie and Carrie, so please e-mail tips and insight to info at celebitchy.com.)

Watt’s friend Nicole Kidman also looks pregnant and may already be married to her boyfriend, Keith Urban. Sources say that the Kidman and Urban are planning a June wedding in their native Australia, but we think they’re already married.

Here she is at the Tribeca film festival yesterday. We can’t wait for the official news!

The Sun has pictures of Pete Doherty injecting heroin into a passed-out woman on his kitchen floor. Kate Moss is shown in another photo sleeping on a bed at Doherty’s house, but she wasn’t there when he drugged the unconscious fan. The pictures were said to be taken in the “past five weeks”:

Doherty was placed on 2 years probation and received orders to attend 18 months of outpatient rehab in drugs posession case last week. He was arrested again on drugs charges on the same day he was sentenced, and was let out on bail.

We thought Doherty might be cleaning up slightly, as he was praised for his efforts by the judge at his sentencing and he bragged of his sobriety at a recent concert. He might be trying, but he won’t escape his past without a great deal of effort.

The Sun website says that you have to buy the print version to get the pictures. Once they’re online, we’ll post them. In the meantime Here are pictures of Doherty at a Babyshambles gig on 4/26.

Avril Lavigne wore horizontal stripes again in an attempt to foil the cameras from capturing her growing baby bump at the Hot Hollywood awards. She also wore a horizontally striped top to the earlier “Volvo for Life” awards ceremony on April 12th.

Life and Style speculated that Avril is pregnant over a month ago, and Avril’s friends say she wants children right away. She plans to marry her live-in boyfriend, Sum 41 frontman Deryck Whibley, this summer in a traditional church wedding with a rocking reception.

Avril has lent her name to a list of media-savvy artists who are against the recording industry’s strongarm tactics to try to “protect” recorded music. She and Deryk have joined the Canadian Music Creators Coalition to speak out against DRM locks on music files, and the practice of suing fans for music distribution.

Here is Avril at the Hot Hollywood Awards on Wednesday night. More pictures from the event are at alavigne.com.br.

Rosie O’Donnell will take over Meredith Vieira’s spot on “The View.” Other women who were said to be in the running for the position were Connie Chung, Patricia Heaton and Soledad O’Brien.

This could be interesting, but we’re in Europe and have to rely on second-hand reports and the occasional YouTube video. That’s not much of a sacrifice when it comes to this show, which we’ve never watched an entire episode of.

Rosie certainly had a fun talkshow in her time, she’s liberal enough and she knows just about everything about pop culture. She’s not a bad choice.

Rosie has some nice stories about hurricane survivors she’s met posted on her blog, written in her unique poetic way.

So someone launched a denial of service attack on my webhost, and the site was down for nearly two hours today. I’ve recommeded this webhost to several people because it is otherwise fast and the setup was a cinch. Still, this is unacceptable.

We’re very sorry for that and appreciate you sticking around, thanks! We have a Paris Hilton story coming up in a minute. I know – you can’t wait.

Paris Hilton is getting paid half a million dollars to host a rock concert this weekend in Austria. I would work 60 hour weeks for two years straight for that kind of money and consider myself lucky as hell.

Her idea of working hard is seriously skewed. Her house is enviable though, of course.

In the pictures of Paris’ Hollywood villa below that were published in Hello Magazine, you can get a sense of the “Old Hollywood” style favored by her interior designer, and see the chandeliers hanging in her closet and over her bed. She also has a huge picture of herself hanging in her lounge.

Among her memorable quotes in the article accompanying the pictures:

“I’m a brand, a model, an artiste, an actress, a designer.”
“When I was a kid, I had no idea I lived in a mansion. Then I went to a friend’s house, and I was like – oh!”
“I worked hard for all this. I tell girls that if you basically work hard, all your dreams will come true.”
Other revelations in the article include the fact that Paris’ dogs have their own gated area, and that her bed is worth nearly $20,000 USD.

Here are also some pictures of Paris celebrating Stavros Niarchos’ 21st birthday at Fix Restaurant in Vegas on 4/12. The cake is just incredible.
