Maybe in an attempt to make up for all the cheating and divorcing that went on this past year, half of Hollywood seemed to get engaged over the holidays. I guess they really let the Christmas spirit get to them. Either way, congrats celebs. I only hope that at least one of these couples will still be around come 2012.

Poppin’ Champage, New Years Eve VIP Style

1. Natalie Portman is knocked up. And she’s getting married! Hey, at least they’re doing this the right way. Natalie got engaged to her choreographer from Black Swan, Benjamin Millepied, over the holidays. The announcement was a total surprise to everyone since we were too busy being psychologically warped by her movie to even care about her personal life.

2. Elton John became a happy daddy. Sir Elton John and his partner David Furnish are now proud daddies to a little baby boy. He was born from a surrogate mother on Christmas Day, and his name is Zachary Jackson Levon Furnish-John. Whew, that’s a long name – but at least it’s normal-ish. This is a super cute Christmas story, so congrats guys!

3. Reese Witherspoon is also engaged. To continue with this string of new engagements are Reese Witherspoon and Jim Toth, who recently confirmed that they’re getting married. I can’t help but be jealous of Reese’s romantic life, which includes Ryan Phillippe and Jake Gyllenhaal, but I don’t know about this guy… I mean, I guess he’s kind of hot. Either way, congratulations are in order.

4. 84-year-old Hugh Hefner gets engaged… to a 24-year-old. To which I can only say… ewwww. Hugh Hefner proposed to his girlfriend, Playboy Playmate Crystal Harris, over the holidays. Hugh tweeted the news, saying, “A truly memorable Christmas Eve.” Yeah I would say so. I vommed all over my grandmother when this news forced me to picture Hugh naked.

5. Kelly Osbourne went a little bit crazy. Back to the insane celeb stories we’re a little more used to. Kelly’s boyfriend Luke Worrall, who she’s been dating for the last two years, has apparently been cheating on her – something Kelly unfortunately found out about over the holidays. Aw, sucks girl. But Kelly obviously isn’t about to let him get away with it without trying to embarrass him a little – which is exactly why she let the world know how much of a dirtbag he is through Twitter. She tweeted, “All he did was use me. All girls, beware of @Luke_worral he is a using c*nt! He used me for my money a free ride.” Everyone’s talking about how insane Kelly is but, hey, can you really blame her?

NYE Spent At Home Watching The Ball Drop

1. Amber Portwood goes to jail. I know that as a gossip blogger, I’m supposed to care about these things… but I can honestly say that I really don’t care at all about MTV’s Teen Mom OR Amber Portwood. Unfortunately, I still have to read about her. And after all of the physical and emotional abuse she laid on her baby-daddy, she definitely deserves to go to jail – and definitely does NOT deserve to see her baby girl any more.

2. Rihanna and her BF Matt Kemp supposedly split. I guess love didn’t come to everyone during the holidays – Rihanna and her cute boyfriend Matt Kemp have allegedly broken up. According to Us Weekly, neither one of them are really that upset about the split. I really wonder who she’s gonna be with next…

3. Someone named Ke$ha the worst dressed of 2010. Okay, so this isn’t really news, but I just really wanted to add it because I completely agree with it. Ke$ha’s outfits are just not okay. Ever. And I know she’s trying to be as edgy and out-there as Lady Gaga and Nicki Minaj, but she’s just not. Celeb stylist Phillip Bloch tells her to call him, because “what you’re doing is just not working!” HA.

4. I know you didn’t think it could be possible, but even more celebs announced their engagement. Lily Allen and her boyfriend are going to get married, which is cute news…and then LeAnn Rimes and Eddie Cibriani also announced they’re getting married, which is just not as cute. And I say that because we all know that LeAnn totally stole Eddie right under his wife’s nose.

5. Someone wants to make a movie out of Lindsay Lohan’s life. I don’t know, this could be good, or it could be epically bad. You would think that Lindsay would be thrilled by any kind of publicity at this point, but no. Her and Dina are furious. Anyway, one screenwriter wants to take on the task of making a Lindsay Lohan biopic – and I have to say, I’d definitely buy tickets.

Normally for the Weekly 10, I find myself counting down things that piss me off. You know, like phrases that suck and uninspired Halloween costumes. So I’ve decided to give you a mix tape for putting up with me airing my grievances Letterman-style.

However, this mixtape is extra mixy. I present to you: my top ten favorite mashups. Wikipedia defines a mashup as, “a song or composition created by blending two or more songs, usually by overlaying the vocal track of one song seamlessly over the music track of another.”  Basically smushing two songs together to make an even cooler one.

Yeah, I was inspired by last week’s episode of Glee; how could you not be? That show is so. damn. good.

Let me know if I missed any other greatness.

10. “Womanizer” Britney Spears & Lily Allen
Even if she “retired from music,” I still  heart Lily Allen and Britney will always have a special place in my heart. Mixing a little Lily with a lot of Womanizer lyrics? Spice Girls have nothing on fierce duo.

9. “Bittersweet Dirt Off Your Shoulder” Jay-Z & The Verve
Cruel Intentions finale song plus my fave, Jay? I’ll take it.

8. “Live Your Life, Punk” T.I., Rihanna & Vampire Weekend (Mixed by Party Ben)
Vampire Weekend and T.I.? Please tour together. I’d go. And I’d be very, very happy.

7.“Love LockDown Day N’ Nite” Kanye West & Kid Cudi
For the conflicted scenester/rapper in all of us.

6. “Halo and Walking on Sunshine” Performed by the cast of Glee.
The very song that inspired me to spend 6 hours searching for other mashups online and create this splendid list.

5. “Every Car You Chase” The Police & Snow Patrol (Mixed by Party Ben)
Unexpectedly amazing.

4. “Hotel Room Game” Lady Gaga & Pitbull
Yes, Lady Gaga is a crazy biatch. We love her anyway. We also love Pitbull. And he loves us back. Two super catchy pop songs, one even catchier mash-up.

3. Anything off the Grey album
Black Album (Jay-Z) + White Album (The Beatles) = Incredible. I guess that’s what happens when you put two music legends together. I love the song, “What More Can I Say” with “As My Guitar Gently Weeps,” but the whole album is simply amazing. Gotta love Dangermouse.

2. Girl Talk
Every song rules, can’t pick just one; Gregg Gillis is all kinds of brilliant.

1 and a half. “Stand Up and Ring My Doorbell” White Stripes and Ludacris (Mashed by DJ Riko)
Because I couldn’t narrow it down to just ten, especially when Ludacris is involved. Sick beat.

1. “Can I Get Get Low” Lil’ Jon and Junior Senior
Okay, so I may be a little biased because “Get Low” might be my song if I were to do a wedding “Forever” style. Kidding. Sorta. But seriously, blend this throwback Lil Jon with the bouncy Junior Senior and you get perfection. Not to mention it makes Lil Jon slightly more tolerable for people who don’t understand his artistic genius.

So, Michael Jackson still hasn’t been buried. Ew?

Instead of trusting the business intuition of people who made it big on their ability to look pretty and stand on cue (really – who needs another celebrity perfume??), we decided to make our own list of celebrity products that are more appropriate to the celebrities themselves:

Angelina Jolie Fertility Drugs – When one (or two, or eight) just isn’t enough…

Amy Winhouse Coke Mirrors – Because no one knows lines like Amy.

Britney Spears Electric Razors – Nothing but the best will do to shave your head.

Michael Jackson Boys Underwear – Choosy mothers choose MJ’s (backless) Boys Underwear.

Tom Cruise Couches – Now with sturdier construction and more durable fabric for those days when you just feel like jumping around!

Zac Efron Hair Extensions – The sexy side-swept look will drive the ladies wild!

Kanye West Earplugs – Because people say a lot of stupid sh*t.

Heidi Montag Relationship Guides – Now you, too, can find the only person on earth who finds you attractive.

Madonna ‘roids - When you need that ripped, sinewy look for a special night out…

Ashlee Simpson Lipsyncing Machines – It’s almost like real singing!

Chris Brown Boxing Gloves – Nothing protects your hands better while you’re punching…stuff.

Lily Allen Double-Sided Tape – For those rare occasions when showing your nips isn’t appropriate.

Paris Hilton Body Condoms: Protecting you from skin to skin contact since 2009.

We can only hope that these products (well, maybe not all of them) see the glorious light of day in a display window someday soon.  We’ll get our checkbooks ready, just in case.

One thing this week’s new music releases have in common is that they’re engaging. Seriously engaging. I laughed. I cried. I nodded my head in agreement. OK, so maybe I didn’t cry – except when I heard the cheesiest song ever – but I laughed a lot.

And considering this week is Valentine’s week, The Lonely Island’s Incredibad may be just the music you need to get you out of your gloom and get ROFLing. Lily Allen’s new album will help you realize you aren’t alone in that crazy dating world. And Ryan Leslie will make you want to groove with your honey, if you do in fact have one. Just, whatever you do, don’t listen to his “Valentine.” Trust me.

Lily Allen- It’s Not Me, It’s You

England’s Lily Allen is back at it after a somewhat drama-filled year with her new body and new album, It’s Not Me, It’s You. Aside from the return of Lily’s beautifully gentle voice, the album is truly entertaining. Each song tells a story, and one that most of us can relate to. In “Not Fair,” she talks about the unfairness of dating a great guy who just happens to be bad in bed. You’ve been there, right? Seriously, almost every song on the album made me say, “Umm yes, ME TOO!” Have a guy who doesn’t get the point that you’re not interested and won’t stop calling you? In “Never Gonna Happen,” Lily sings: “How on Earth could I be any more obvious?/It never really did and now it’s never gonna happen with the two of us.” On the other hand, “Him” made me feel like Lily was trying too hard as she questions what God thinks of us and the world we live in. “Do you think he’d drive in his car without insurance?/Now is he interesting or do you think he’d bore us?” It reminded me of Joan Osbourne’s “If God Was One of Us,” but cheesier. Overall, though, Lily’s album is sure to entertain and yes, I like it a lot better than Katy Perry’s. But I’ll let you choose for yourself.

The Lonely Island- Incredibad

The Lonely Island? Who’s that? Unless you’re living under a rock somewhere, you most definitely know The Lonely Island, even if not by name. Come on. “Dick in a Box”? “Jizz in My Pants”? And the most recent, “I’m on a Boat,” featuring T-Pain? Yes, you probably know most of these songs from Saturday Night Live. More specifically they come from SNL writers Andy Samberg, Akiva Schaffer, and Jorma Taccone, who form the group The Lonely Island. You have to admit, in a time where SNL is becoming less and less funny, it’s these little musical skits that keep the show alive. Basically, if you love those SNL digital shorts, you will be obsessed with The Lonely Island’s new album, Incredibad. Although, I have to warn you: it can be frustrating to listen to the album alone, because you will me laughing your butt off and wishing someone was there to laugh with you. My personal favorite track is “Like a Boss,” in which Andy Samberg relays a day in the life of a boss (in an office): “Talk to corporate (like a boss)/Approve memos (like a boss)/Lead a workshop (like a boss).” You get the point. I’m also a big fan of “We Like Sportz” and “Natalie’s Rap,” in which actress Natalie Portman raps about her life, which is very different than you might expect. So, Incredibad might not be the kind of music you’re used to in the traditional sense, but if you have a sense of humor at all, you won’t be able to get enough of it.

Ryan Leslie- Ryan Leslie

You might know Ryan Leslie as the music producer who discovered singer Cassie. Well now he’s singing along with her on his debut album, Ryan Leslie. Yes, he had another debut attempt in 2005, but let’s just say the album never hit shelves in the U.S.. His new album promises to be much catchier, especially with the track “Addicted,” his duet with Cassie and Fabolous, which is my favorite track on the album. “You’re Fly” is another song that I’d classify as low-key dancing music or getting ready for a night on the town music. Just in time for Valentine’s Day, the album also includes a song called “Valentine,” but in my opinion, it’s the cheesiest song on Earth right from the start: “Valentine. Be mine” Ryan speaks. It doesn’t get any better with, “I know you’re not my girlfriend, but I swear that I love you.” Sure, the song is perfect for singing along with, but I have a huge aversion to cheesy lyrics, and these ones are on the same level as New Kids on the Block and Ne-Yo’s “Single.” Overall, Ryan Leslie strikes me as perfect for anyone who enjoys the tempo and beat of Cassie’s music, but prefers being crooned to in the falsetto by a hot man.
