The block is filling up fast: Joey McIntyre and wife Barrett are expecting their third child.

The family will welcome their third child in May, his rep confirms to DIDNTINVITEME. The new addition joins big brothers Rhys Edward, 1, and Griffin Thomas, 3.

"Barrett and I are so blessed and grateful for the little one on the way," says McIntyre, 37. "We'll have our hands full. Three's the new nine!"

The New Kids on the Block singer, one of nine children himself, wed Barrett in Aug. 2003 at New York City's Plaza Hotel.

Chris Brown was spotted courtside at Madison Square Garden Wednesday night as the New York Knicks hosted the Oklahoma City Thunder. He was seen wearing a pair of Super People M&A eyeglasses ($194), an athletic varsity jacket, and a pair of Air Jordan Retro 7 Premio “Bin 23″ sneakers ($175). Chris Brown is also wearing Strivers Row “Redeemer” Jeans ($350)

There's no place like home – for your wedding.

When actress Tasha Smith exchanged vows with husband Keith Douglas earlier this month, the couple kept the ceremony low-key, holding the affair in the living room of their Los Angeles house.

"We discussed having a small wedding with close family and friends, but instead, we decided to hold a very simple, intimate ceremony with just us and our pastor," Smith, 39, tells Essence. "We prayed about it, and it just felt right for us."

Smith and Douglas, an entrepreneur, announced their engagement six months ago.

For Smith – who next appears on the big screen alongside Angela Bassett and Paula Patton in romantic comedy Jumping the Broom – the wedding is a fairytale ending to a less-than-perfect past.

"I've been to the worst place I could ever be," she told our friends over @PEOPLE in 2007 of her childhood in Camden, N.J., where she grew up in a city wrought with gangsters, drugs and poverty – and one of the highest murder rates in the nation. "But I always had a dream."

Smith was previously married to a youth counselor, who she divorced in 2007. Now back from her Sin City honeymoon at the Lake Las Vegas resort, she says her wedding was the best way to cap off the year.

"It was a beautiful, blessed moment that we will remember forever," she says.

Jay-Z is part of a big New Year's Eve bash happening this year in Las Vegas for the grand opening of the Cosmopolitan hotel and casino. He and Coldplay are both earning $1 million to play a party for 2,500 invited guests at the party, according to the New York Post.

(Getty)Also in attendance will be Jay-Z's wife, Beyonce, and Coldplay frontman Chris Martin's wife Gwyneth Paltrow, and while both of those lovely ladies are known to kick around a song or two, neither is schedule to perform. The opening of the Cosmopolitan is big news in Vegas. Its backers went bust in the financial crisis of 2008, and Deutsche Bank spent a whopping $3.9 billion to finish it after acquiring it in a fire sale.

This won't be the first time Jay-Z has share a stage with Chris Martin. Chris made a surprise appearance at Jay-Z's recent star-studded New York gigs. As usual Vegas is packed with celebrity party hosts, including Rihanna who will be pulling in $250,000 for hosting the part at Caesar's.

Demi Lovato (Pacific Coast News)Lawyers acting for the troubled Disney starlet – who is currently in rehab receiving treatment for "emotional and physical issues" – held a series of discussions with Alex Welch's attorneys and have now reached a satisfactory conclusion.


Alex's lawyer Donald Karpel said: “The parties are satisfied and the dispute has been resolved amicably and completely.”
The amount of the settlement has not been released.
Alex, 21, had been planning to give an interview about the incident, which left her with a black eye, but was asked by Demi's representatives to hold off until the case was negotiated.
Recalling the alleged attack, Alex recently revealed it happened after Demi had been reprimanded about her behaviour while on The Jonas Brothers tour and, believing one of the dancers had complained about her, the teenage singer-and-actress took them into a room and threatened them, saying: "If I find out who told on me..."
However, Alex insisted she had no idea what the 18-year-old star was referring to and was stunned when the "Sonny With a Chance" star approached her on a plane the following day and punched her.
Demi left the tour immediately after the incident and checked into a treatment facility.

Antoine Dodson, who knows a thing or two about home invasions, wants you to keep an eye out for anyone trying to sneak down your chimney this weekend. 

Dodson, 24, the star of the super-viral "Bed Intruder" song, is out with this comical new video, first aired on George Lopez's Lopez Tonight, in which he warns large jolly people in red suits to stay away from his home this holiday – unless it's the Kool-Aid Man. 

So, hide your gifts and hide your trees. Santa Claus is coming to town.

Jake Gyllenhaal (Getty Images)Jake Gyllenhaal has been romantically linked to Taylor Swift since October, and rumor has it he pulled out all the stops for her 21st birthday this month. 

A source told In Touch Weekly magazine: “It’s an Oscar-worthy bracelet -- nearly 30 carats of colorless diamonds set in white gold. It cost Jake about $100,000, but he wanted to do something special for Taylor’s birthday.

“They love coffee, so he sent her 21 pounds of the best Kona coffee available, along with a coffee grinder and a coffeemaker. And he made her a birthday card, as opposed to buying a generic one!”

As well as Jake’s efforts to please Taylor, the singer is also doing her best to make the actor happy, with her friends claiming she has even changed her style to suit her boyfriend’s tastes.

One insider explained: “She’s decided to get a more sophisticated look. She’s buying from stores like Chanel, Prada and Hermes.”

As well as the bracelet and the coffee, it has also been claimed that Jake paid $11,000 for a guitar signed by country music icon Chet Atkins for his girlfriend.

A source said: "He spent the weekend in Nashville with her and she saw the guitar in a tiny store which a lot of A-list musicians use.

"He was originally going to buy it just as a gift but it ended up being perfect for her birthday.”

Amar'e StoudemireNY Knicks star Amar'e Stoudemire is hanging up his basketball jersey for a while and putting on something a little more stylish.Page Six reports that he has teamed up with fashion designer Rachel Roy to launch a clothing line. No, it won't be for men. In fact, it'll be part of her contemporary women's collection, Rachel Rachel Roy. 

Amar'e first started appearing in fashion circles when Anna Wintour brought him as her guest to both Fashion's Night Out and the Tommy Hilfiger spring show in September. He has been quoted as saying:
I love fashion...I love watches. I love shoes. I make sure that every time I step out of the house, I'm feeling comfortable and fashion-forward. Depending on the occasion, I dress the part.What do you think, will Amar'e's talent be just as good off the courts as it is on?

n Enrique Igleasias’ video for his lascivious new single “Tonight (I’m Loving You)”, the Spanish singer (and Linkin Park fan) lurks around an S&M club, but spends the majority of the night doing sexytimes in the restroom with a stranger. Soon enough, Enrique’s jet-setting ’round the globe to seemingly bed as many ladies as possible in the video’s five minute length. It’s like a X-rated version of The Amazing Race. The single’s title might be free from obscenities, but the clip sure isn’t — get oiled up and join Enrique in his orgy, won’t you?

Here’s the uncensored vid. Cover your eyes if you can’t handle the heat!

Rihanna was spotted at Saks Fifth Avenue in Beverly Hills, CA doing a little last minute Christmas shopping. She wore a Proenza Schouler hooded toggle Coat ($1,855), with a pair of Christian Louboutin suede.



Madonna (Bauer Griffin)Madonna has been mentioned more in the UK print press than any other star in the last 10 years, with 46,017 namechecks.

The huge number dwarfs those of second and third placed stars Simon Cowell and Robbie Williams, who received 29,888 and 28,563 mentions each.

Brian Merron of researcher Kantar Media, who compiled the figures, wasn't surprised by the outcome.

He said: "This is why she's hailed as a legend."

Contributing to Madonna's namechecks in the last decade were her marriage and divorce to Guy Ritchie, subsequent relationships with Jesus Luz and Brahim Zaibat, the birth of her son Rocco, now 10, adoption of tots David and Mercy, and four huge world tours in support of new material.

Though Simon was named in second place overall, the research showed he had been mentioned more in the UK press than anyone else in 2010.

Other celebrities to feature in the list included Kate Moss, Britney Spears, Victoria and David Beckham, the late Michael Jackson, Sir Paul McCartney and Kylie Minogue.

Top 10 most talked about celebrities of the decade:

1. Madonna (46,017)
2. Simon Cowell (29,888)
3. Robbie Williams (28,563)
4. Kate Moss (28,056)
5. Britney Spears (27,588)
6. Victoria Beckham (25,833)
7. David Beckham (24,953)
8. Michael Jackson (24, 688)
9. Sir Paul McCartney (21,556)
10. Kylie Minogue (19, 694)

Zac Efron has taken one small step toward being the rugged leading man he so desperately wants to be, and a giant leap away from the anime-coifed heartthrob we all know from the tweeny-bopper High School Musical franchise.

Zac Efron with the fan who posted his new 'do on Twitter. (From Twitter.com)The young actor just finished shooting his upcoming Marine filmThe Lucky One in Louisiana, and he shaved his head for the lead role. His brand new jarhead 'do was debuted via Twitter thanks to a fan who ran into him, but the best part is that he's donated an undisclosed amount of cash to local charity Kingsley House for each crewmember who also shaved their heads.

According to the local Times-Picayune 30 crewmembers took Zac up on the offer, and two of them donated the hair to Locks of Love. The word is his full donation to Kingsley House -- which helps needy children and families in New Orleans -- is in the thousands of dollars. Zac's publicist, Gina Hoffman, said this is just a small part of his charity work.

"He likes doing things for charity -- two Make-A-Wish kids came a visit to the set while he was there -- and he felt like he wanted to do something for a New Orleans charity since he had such a nice time shooting there," she told the Times-Picayune.

We'll be waiting eagerly for the red carpet premiere of Zac's high-and-tight hairstyle.

Paul DelVecchio (Getty Images)Looks like Paul "Pauly D" DelVechhio is going solo. TheJersey Shore star has signed a contract with MTV to develop his own reality show, focusing on his “life away from the shore."

"At the heart of Jersey Shore is the unique and genuine cast, and Pauly D truly embodies both qualities," said MTV exec Chris Linn in a statement. "We know viewers are curious about his life away from the shore, and we look forward to exploring new possibilities around that."

The pilot has already been filmed, but there's no timetable on when the full series would get started. It's the latest win for DelVechhio, who has quietly become perhaps the most successful of his Jersey Shore castmates -- he's a big draw on the DJ circuit, charges hefty appearance fees, and recently put out his first single via Universal Republic Records.

Jersey Shore, meanwhile, has been a monster hit for MTV, becoming the network's highest rated show ever, and basic cable's highest rated program among 12-34 years old in 2010. 

When asked which celebrity she'd want to take to a prom, Taylor Swift names a few dream choices.

"It would be a group, and it would be a really fun group," the singer, 21, says on the Jan. 3 episode of the Rachael Ray show. "Because all these different reasons. Well, Katy Perry would be so much fun. She’s just like crazy fun and like spontaneous."

Swift continues, "Diddy has always been very nice to me. Justin Timberlake is the same way, he’s really funny. And, Sheryl Crow is really down to earth and really cool. And like, J. Lo would be a really good dancer!"

Noticeably absent from her list is one star she's been seen with recently: Jake Gyllenhaal.

It's out of season for baseball, but a great time for paddleboarding – which Alex Rodriguez and Cameron Diaz enjoyed this week while on vacation with his two kids in Los Cabos, Mexico.

Clearly, Diaz seems more intent on learning the sport, while Rodriguez just enjoys a little relaxation on the high seas.

The pair, who have made habit of vacationing in Mexico, have been soaking up the rays in Los Cabos all week long.

Get ready to break all the rules and party with Sean Kingston in the video for “Party All Night (Sleep All Day),” the dance floor-ready single from his upcoming third album. The baby-faced star leads a life of leisure in the bubbly clip, sleeping in and hitting the dance floor all night, only to do it again the next day. Join the celebration.

Just a few weeks after their separation was announced, Ryan Reynolds has begun the process of officially ending his two-year marriage to Scarlett Johansson.

The actor, 34, filed for divorce from Johansson, 26, Thursday in Los Angeles Superior Court. A source told our friends over @PEOPLE recently that the couple grew apart under the strain of managing two thriving careers.

They were married in a private ceremony in Canada in 2008.

Lil Wayne stepped back onto the charts in a major way. The rapper’s new single “6 Foot 7 Foot” lands in the top 10 on the singles chart this week.


“6 Foot 7 Foot,” the first commercial release from Weezy since his stint in jail, debuts at No. 9 on the Billboard Hot 100. The lead offering from next year’s highly-anticipated Tha Carter IV sold 166,000 downloads in its opening week and also claims the No. 3 spot on the Digital Songs chart. It is the second time he has debuted in the top 10 as a lead artist since September with the Drake-assisted “Right Above It.”

Weezy debuted the Bangladesh-produced track on television for the first time during last weekend’s “SNL.” He will perform it again on “NBC’s New Year’s Eve with Carson Daly” on December 31.

Eminem and Lil’ Wayne performed their hit single “No Love” on Saturday Night Live this past weekend. Em was spotted rocking out on stage in a Gucci College Blouson jacket ($1,390). This jacket features a nylon body with leather sleeves and ribbed cuffs, detailed with a knit stand up collar, snap button closures, and side welt pockets.
