They finally did it! Harrison Ford and Calista Flockhart have been together for more than eight years and engaged for one, but the couple exchanged vows and made it official recently.

Ford's rep confirmed the happy news to People.com, who reported that they tied the knot in Santa Fe, New Mexico, where he's currently shooting a movie.

Megan Fox is engaged with Brian Austin Green

AFTER being booted from 'Transformers 3', Megan Fox now has a little to do with all that spare time.
The 24-year-old big-mouthed beauty is engaged, for the second time, to boyfriend Brian Austin Green, Us Weekly reports.
The couple split in February 2009 after five years together. They have not yet set a date for the wedding.
As with many things in Fox’s personal and professional life, which is wide open after she was left out of the second Transformers sequel, it did not go off without a hitch.
She lost the two-carat engagement ring in the excitement of the beachside proposal on the Big Island in Hawaii, the magazine reported.
"Security and maintenance staff spent a couple of hours looking for it," a source told the magazine.
"No one found it."
Green, 36, and Fox, who began dating in 2004, ended their previous two-year engagement last year.Rumours that Megan and Brian had got engaged again have been circulating for months.
In January, the 36-year-old actor told one of his twitter followers he and the 24-year-old actress were “engaged” in response to a question about his marital status.
When the pair called off their engagement last year it was claimed they had done so to concentrate on their work.
"The relationship had run its course. It's completely amicable, and they are remaining friends. They are both focusing on their careers," a source said at the time.
Speculation is now rife as to what sort of ceremony the couple may have, with Megan previously insisting their nuptials would be a private affair.
"It's not going to be a big wedding. I'm not one of those girls - if it happens, it will be very low-key and quick and unplanned," she said.

Manisha Koirala opts for a low-key wedding

Manisha Koirala, who’s all set to tie the knot with her Nepali fiancé Samrat Dahal on June 19, is not expecting too many of her friends from Mumbai to arrive in Kathmandu on the most special day of her life. Only Manisha’s best friend Deepti Naval, who recently directed the actress in her directorial debut Do Paise Ko Dhoop Chaar Anne Ki Baarish, confirmed her presence at the wedding.

The wedding, according to Bollywood’s hushed whispers, is not quite safe to attend. Says an actress-friend of Manisha, “I’d love to go. But Nepal is not high on my list of seeable countries. One hears about the violence there. It isn’t safe.”

Sadly, even the big post-wedding reception that Manisha had planned in Mumbai is not happening. Says the lovely actress, “I had planned a big do for all my friends in Mumbai right after the wedding. But that seems unlikely now. Family and friends in Delhi also want to host a reception.So we can’t have one and ignore the other. We’ll leave for our honeymoon immediately after the wedding. After we come back, I plan to have a reception-cumbirthday party.”

Cameron Diaz is beautiful in a tiny blue bikini

She has got a body that is the envy of millions of women worldwide.

So it was no surprise to see Cameron Diaz showing off her amazing physique in a tiny blue bikini as she enjoyed a family break in Maui, Hawaii.

The 37-year-old star, who is arguably one of the most physically fit actresses in Hollywood, looked toned, tanned and healthy as she made the most of the sunshine on the beach

The actress, who can soon be seen in Knight And Day alongside Tom Cruise, credits her stunning body to healthy eating and regular exercise, including Pilates.

But unlike many stars who have to reduce their food intake to maintain their figures, Cameron says she likes nothing better than eating a good meal.

She said in a recent interview: 'Food is one of my biggest pleasures. I love to eat. I love to cook. I love to feed people.

'My body functions best when I eat consistently. I pretty much eat the same thing every day for weeks at a time.'

And despite her enviably flat stomach and toned arms, Cameron admits it took her a while before she discovered the merits of regular exercise.

She told Self magazine: 'Before Charlie's Angels, I never exercised. Not a day! I always associated it with pain and discomfort - something you do if you have to.

Farah Khan signed Salman Khan for Om Shanti Om’s sequel.

Farah Khan has reportedly signed Shahrukh Khan, also known as SRK’s arch rival Salman Khan for Om Shanti Om’s sequel.

Of late Farah and Sallu have been bonding big time, published reports have said, even though director Farah Khan and Shah Rukh Khan were known to be the best of buddies not very long time ago. “But the friendship seems to have gone awry,” reported Hindustan Times.

On a dance reality tv show where Farah Khan and Sallu make an appearance, the equation between them was for all to see.

On the show, Salman joked about him being the first choice for Farah’s directorial ventures, Main Hoon Na and Om Shanti Om and Farah admitted that it was true. Farah then assured Salman to be in the sequels of both the film. We assume it was a joke, but who knows, Farah’s statement might have some truth.

On being asked to comment on the issue by media, SRK chose to follow the “silence is golden” rule!.

A Bollywood source, however, has a different story to tell. “One look at SRK and you could tell he was miffed. He had been in a good mood, answering all our queries, but just when someone touched upon the Farah-Salman chapter, the smile on Shah Rukh’s face faded.”

'Karate Kid' breaks openning collection record with $56 million

"The Karate Kid" has won a 1980s showdown at the box office against "The A-Team."

Sony's remake of 1984's "The Karate Kid" debuted at No. 1 for the weekend with a whopping $56 million, according to studio estimates Sunday. The big-screen adaptation of the 1980s TV series "The A-Team" came in at less than half that, the 20th Century Fox release opening in second place with $26 million.

After three weekends at No. 1, DreamWorks Animation's "Shrek Forever After" slipped to No. 3 with $15.8 million. The animated hit raised its domestic haul to $210.1 million, becoming the fourth movie released this year to top $200 million.

With a relatively modest production budget of $40 million, "The Karate Kid" far exceeded the studio's expectations. Early on, Sony executives would have been happy if the movie opened to half its $56 million debut weekend, said Rory Bruer, the studio's head of distribution.

Those expectations began to rise once the studio realized it had a crowd-pleaser on its hands, Bruer said.

"It's just an unmitigated grand slam hit," said Bruer, who also worked on distribution for the 1984 version. "I loved the original 'Karate Kid,' but they took this beloved title, and they made it relevant, fresh and absolutely exciting."

The big opening for "The Karate Kid" gave Hollywood a boost after a weak start to the summer season. "Iron Man 2" opened big the first weekend in May, but the box office has lagged since then.

According to box-office tracker Hollywood.com, overall revenues came in at $153 million, up 11 percent from the same weekend last year, when "The Hangover" led with $32.8 million.

"The Karate Kid" stars Jaden Smith as an American boy who moves with his mom to China, where he takes on a bully under the guidance of an unassuming martial-arts master (Jackie Chan).

With his first lead role, 11-year-old Smith had an opening weekend that stacked up well against the track record of his superstar father, Will Smith, who has had only two debuts bigger than "The Karate Kid" ("I Am Legend" at $77.2 million and "Hancock" at $62.6 million). Will Smith and wife Jada Pinkett Smith are producers on "The Karate Kid."

"It's like, 'Who's the biggest star now, dad?'" said Paul Dergarabedian, box-office analyst for Hollywood.com. "It proves the box-office apple doesn't fall far from the money tree in that household."

"The A-Team" features Liam Neeson, Bradley Cooper and Jessica Biel in a tale of former Army Rangers trying to clear their names after they are framed for a crime they did not commit.

Chris Aronson, head of distribution for 20th Century Fox, said the momentum of a strong weekend should benefit "The A-Team," which received high marks in exit polls from the under-25 crowd.

"It's good that the industry finally has an up weekend, so it's nice to be a part of that," Aronson said. "We're very optimistic that we're now in an upswing in the business and that we're going to play and play as our word of mouth spreads."

Hollywood looks to build on its momentum next weekend as Pixar Animation goes back to its roots with "Toy Story 3," the latest sequel to the 1995 hit that was the first feature-length computer-animated film.

In limited release, IFC Films' documentary "Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work" opened strongly with $171,500 in seven theaters, for an average of $24,500 per cinema. That compared to a $15,288 average in 3,663 theaters for "The Karate Kid."

Also debuting well in limited release was Roadside Attractions' drama "Winter's Bone," which took in $87,000 in four theaters for a $21,750 average. The top dramatic prize winner at January's Sundance Film Festival, "Winter's Bone" stars Jennifer Lawrence as a teenager desperately searching for her missing father in the backwoods crime culture of the Ozark Mountains.

MTV is looking for TJ (Twitter Jockey)

Remember the MTV VJ? That's so two decades ago. Now the network is looking to hire its first TJ, or Twitter Jockey.

MTV officials say the search is on for a new social media maven who will engage with the MTV audience and serve as a liaison between viewers and network honchos.

MTV General Manager Stephen Friedman called the TJ position "a natural evolution of how we connect with our audience."

The network has recognized 18 budding candidates and is asking its audience to find two more. The 20 hopefuls will compete in a series of online challenges this summer designed to reveal their personalities and demonstrate how they connect with Twitter followers.

Five finalists will in due course compete on a live show on Aug. 8, when fans will pick who gets the new job.

"The hope is that this person will be dynamic, engaging and energized, an enthusiast within the social media world," said Dave Sirulnik, the executive overseeing the contest. "Somebody who will represent the audience by taking their thoughts and questions and ... through an ongoing dialogue with them, be able to bring those questions inside the walls here to the people who make MTV."

The new Twitter Jockey will report on MTV events, such as the Video Music Awards in September, and appear on-air periodically.

"While they won't be on TV the way VJs were," Sirulnik said, "they will always be on."

Insight MTV executives gain through the new online representative's interaction with fans could influence programming and network decisions, Friedman said.

"Twitter and Facebook enable us to make smarter decisions," he said. "This will benefit us hopefully as much as it benefits the audience."

Viewers can nominate themselves or their favorite Facebook friends for the position online beginning Monday. The MTV TJ will be based in New York and earn a six-figure salary.

MTV is a unit of Viacom Inc
