It's only been a few months since she and Jake Gyllenhaal called it quits on their relationship, but rumor has it that Reese Witherspoon has already found herself a new man. Who is he? Word on the street is that Reese, 33, has been quietly dating CAA agent Jim Toth and things appear to be getting serious between them.

Wait - Didn't she and Jake break up over the fact that they wanted different things? He wanted marriage and she wasn't interested in traveling down that road again. Could this new guy be just the one to change her mind?

In an attempt to hit back at the tabloids alleging that Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom's new marriage may already be over, the reality star took to her blog. Some of the gossip magazines have apparently been reporting that there is trouble in paradise for not only Khloe, 25, and Lamar, 30, but also her sister Kourtney and her baby daddy Scott Disick.

Khloe writes: "My sisters and I had a great laugh this morning. Star and InTouch decided to attack our relationships. Apparently I'm heading for divorce, Kim was dumped and Kourt was duped. Wow, sad week for us Kardashian sisters, and how coincidental that this all happened at the same time! Lamar and I are obsessed and can barely be away from each other," she posted on her personal blog.

While Khloe may have set the record straight regarding her own relationship, something tells me that her sister Kourtney's situation might be a little bit different. You'd only need to see one episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians to know that Scott isn't exactly boyfriend of the year material. She claims that he's trying, but I'll believe it when I actually see it.

The Bachelor's Jake Pavelka handed out his final rose last night and shockingly, it went to Vienna Giraldi. Let's just say that she wasn't exactly a fan favorite. In my opinion, one of the most liked women from this last season would definitely be Ali Fedotowsky. She and Jake had what appeared to be genuine chemistry and potential.

However, when her job forced her to head home or risk being unemployed, Ali made her decision. She packed her bags and walked out on Jake and the opportunity of a lifetime. It looks like she's getting another shot at love as ABC just announced that Ali will be hosting the next season of The Bachelorette.

Here's what I'm wondering: If Ali was 'forced' to abandon the final weeks of The Bachelor to avoid losing her job, how does she plan to pull a disappearing act when it comes time to film her own show? Is Ali suddenly willing to put love before her career?

Just a few days shy of her March 3 due date, Jim Carrey's daughter Jane gave birth to her first child on Friday in Los Angeles. Jane and her husband singer Alex Santana welcomed a baby boy named Jackson Riley Santana into the world, according to People magazine.

Jim, 47, posted a photo on his Twitter page and happily exclaimed, "Jackson Riley Santana, My Grandson, Born today! This is what 7lbs.11oz. of Calfornia dynomite looks like!"

Something tells me this kid is in for some serious laughs with slapstick comedian Jim Carrey as his grandfather.

Singer Marie Osmond's son Michael Blosil committed suicide by jumping to his death on Friday night in Los Angeles, according to ET Online. After leaving a note for a close female friend, Michael, 18, leapt from his own apartment. His last message said that he felt as though he didn't have any friends and could never fit in.

"My family and I are devastated and in deep shock by the tragic loss of our dear Michael and ask that everyone respect our privacy during this difficult time," Marie told ET in a statement.

One of eight siblings, Michael had spent some time in rehab towards the end of 2007 and by all accounts, appeared to be heading in the right direction. He graduated from high school and had his future ahead of him. Sadly, that all came to an end on Friday.

Donny and Marie's Las Vegas show was cancelled on Friday night and will remain suspended until further notice.
