Mumbai, Jan 27 – The dimple-cheeked actress Preity Zinta, who is making her television debut with ‘Guinness World Records-Ab India Todega’, will be seen in a sporty avatar in the show which is set to go on air later this year on Colors.
The 35-year-old is being styled by fashion designer Surily Goel and her promo look is complete with a waistcoat over a casual shirt teamed with boots and gloves.
The dimpled actress, who will be hosting this Indian version of ‘Guinness World record’ that has enthralled the audience across 90 countries, is happy to be part of the show.
‘I was sure that whenever I do make a move to the small screen, it would be something I believe in. ‘Guinness World records – Ab India Todega’ is the perfect platform for my television debut. The show reflects my ideology to push oneself and compete with the best.

London, Jan 27 – Dannii Minogue has revealed that she is not worried about arch enemy Sharon Osborne’s rumoured return to The X Factor judging panel.

“The X Factor is a great show and I thought I had a great year last year,” she added.
The pair has been at loggerheads ever since they first appeared on the judging panel together in 2007and their feud was reignited last year when Minogue claimed in her autobiography that the 58-year-old had bullied her.

The King’s Speech Receiving Flak From Historians

The King’s Speech received an overwhelming number of Academy Award nominations, 12 and now like any other time the film is being hit with criticisms from all sides for distortion of historical facts and inaccuracies. So while this is not the first time that a film with maximum number of nominations becomes the target of the critics, since it has happened with films like Saving Private Ryan, A Beautiful Mind and The Queen how fair is it to bring up the criticism now?
According to Martin Filler of the New York Review of Books and Christopher Hitchens the character of King George VI played by Collin Firth was nothing like a shy ruler but a warmonger Nazi appeaser, Filler goes on to call George VI a “nitwit”. On the other hand Hitchens wrote that the film is a “falsification of history” and even abused his wife physically as the King had a very rough temper.
However, the critics who are sympathetic towards the film along with some historians defended the flick The King’s Speech saying that more than talking about the war and the political stand during that period the film talked about the a man overcoming his handicap. The film is also about a person going beyond one’s deficit and be part of a job that he was never trained for.
So while the opposition camps can rally about the deficits and the flaws of the film, The King’s Speech has already shown the grit to win over the award ceremony. It has already done that on last Saturday at the Producers Guild Awards.

Ranbir Kapoor Wants To Take “Rockstar” In His World Tour!

It’s been quite some time since, the “Kapoor khandaan” (not to be confused with Anil Kapoor’s “khandaan”) of Bollywood have been busy planning a world tour for young Ranbir. But there has been reports confirming that the much awaited and hyped tour has been put on hold. The Kapoor’s have all of a sudden realized that Ranbir still hasn’t got much chart busting dance numbers to his name. Bipasha and Katrina have also been approached to perform at Ranbir’s world tour. It’s easier for them to perform as both have them have their signature chartbuster songs like ‘Beedi jalaile’ and ‘Sheila Ki Jawaani.’
It’s being rumored that even Malaika Arora Khan will perform at the event and like we all know she has nothing to worry about as well. Along with ‘Munni badnaam,’ she has scores of other chartbusting songs to dance upon. Young Ranbir has fallen short of songs and thus daddy Rishi Kapoor has put the event on hold.
Rishi Kapoor said in an interview that, one cannot go on a world tour without a bank of songs in his bag. Ranbir’s upcoming film “Rockstar’ is about to release soon and Rishi Kapoor wants his son to get on the stage only after the songs are out, since there are a lot of good songs in the movie. A.R. Rahman has done the music for the movie and it would surely be a foolish thing to do, if they go up on the stage without his songs.

Jennifer Lopez To Retain Own Flavor In American Idol 10 As One Of The Judges

Jennifer Lopez who is on the go to judge the season 10 of the ‘American Idol’ is one of those judges on the hot seat who is being awaited by one and all with great enthusiasm.
The brand new season which premiered on 19th January was well appreciated and JLO who is almost touted as an apt replacement of Paula Abdul is reportedly hell bent on proving that she’s going to be very original and retain the JLO flavor throughout the season.

Jennifer Aniston: What’s On Her Mind Lately?

The web world is buzzing with the news that Jennifer Aniston has finally decided to adopt a baby from a Mexican Orphanage. It seems that Jennifer was contemplating to adopt child for a very long time. In an earlier interview Jennifer added that she was looking forward to become a mother in the near future and she also added that she is in the process to become a mother. After the interview many felt that Jennifer was probably thinking about adoption.
However in a recent interview Jennifer’s spokesperson has remarked that Aniston is not adopting a baby .The spokesperson further added that there is absolutely no truth to the news as Jennifer is not planning to become a mother as she does not have a nursery in her house or a nanny. The spokesperson also hinted at the fact that the rumours were a product of somebody’s fertile imagination.
Jennifer had been actively involved with Casa Hogar Sion orphanage for many years so many felt that Jennifer would adopt a child as a natural progression. Jennifer visited the orphanage in Tijuana several times which probably led the grapevine to report that Aniston was s adopting a Mexican child. Aniston also started the procedures for adoption a year back which requires a permit from the Mexican authorities and a psycological report.
Jennifer is keeping a low profile these days and also has completed her major projects in hand. It gives us a hint that she is probably is keeping her dates free to be with her child.

Twilight Star: "We're So Busy, We Don't Even Eat Anymore"

 Kimberley French/Summit Entertainment
We're sure Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are having fun making the last of the Twilight flicks, but Breaking Dawn is anything but a walk in the vampire park.
"We're so busy, we don't even eat anymore," says Peter Facinelli, who plays Dr. Carlisle Cullen in the hit movie franchise. "We just stopped eating."
Maybe the Nurse Jackie star is exaggerating a wee bit, but even so...
FACEBOOK: Follow Marc
"It's a little bit more difficult," he told me at the Golden Globes about making the two movies at the same time. "It's a little more intimidating because there's so much work to be done, and you're jumping from one movie to another. It's not in any kind of order so it does get daunting as you figure out which movie you're in and what sequences you're in...
"It's long hours," he continued. "But we're putting in the work and hopefully it will come together as it always does."
That's not to say that Facinelli has any issues with director Bill Condon. "He's got the task and pressure of having the final two movies," he said. "[But] he never lets you see him sweat. He's always relaxed and he always takes the time to work with actors and he's always open to ideas."
As for the recently released sex scene pic of Edward and Bella, Facinelli insisted he hadn't seen it. "We're in the middle of work mode, so yeah, I don't get to see any of those because I'm on set," he said. "I never get to see any of the internet stuff."
Asked what the cast and crew has planned for their final wrap party, Facinelli smiled, ""I don't know. We're not there yet. We've still got like four more months to go."
While it may be sad to think about the end of Twilight, we'd love to hear what you think Pattinson, Stewart and the rest of the gang should do to toast (and mourn!) the end of their bloodsucking work. Give us your best wrap party ideas in the comments below.

Jeremy Renner's Possible Mission to Replace Tom Cruise

 PacificCoastNews.com?
Rumor has it Jeremy Renner is being groomed to take over the Mission: Impossible franchise should Tom Cruise decide to bow out.
Renner plays Ethan Hunt's protege in the next MI flick, but does he have what it takes to fill Cruise's action-packed shoes?
MORE MOVIES: Zac Efron's Hot Hollywood Cougar Hookup?
"That guy has a lot of energy," Renner told me at the Critics' Choice Movie Awards. "He makes me work pretty hard. To try to even keep up!"
Cruise also usually does most of his stunt work. "He has no fear," Renner said. "Well, I'm sure he has fears but he's pretty fearless, I'll tell you that."
And speaking of two hot men, are Leonardo DiCaprio and Armie Hammer still set to lock lips in J. Edgar? In the Clint Eastwood-directed bio pic, DiCaprio stars as late FBI boss J. Edgar Hoover with Hammer costarring as maybe-lover Clyde Tolson.
"I don't know," Hammer insisted when I asked if he thought the two men were more than just really close friends. "There's speculation that goes both ways. If you ask an FBI agent they would definitely say, 'No, definitely not. They were brothers at arms. They were compadres.'"
Kissing compadres, we hope.

Andrew Garfield's New Spider-Man Bod: "Not Too Shabby," Says Costar

 John Schwartzman/Columbia Pictures
Andrew Garfield is perfect for Spider-Man.
Who says?
Well, we do! But so does the man whose opinion really matters…
FOLLOW: Marc on Twitter and Facebook
"Looks just perfect to me," comic book legend Stan Lee says of the recently released pic of Garfield in the Spidey suit. "How he manages to look so young, I wish he'd teach me the secret."
Garfield may be 27 years old, but he's actually playing a teenage Peter Parker/Spider-Man in the much-anticipated reboot of the Sony movie franchise.
Lee's happy the studio didn't resort to simply replacing Tobey Maguire. "I think the viewers might have trouble with that," Lee said at the Golden Globes at the Beverly Hills Hilton hotel. "But if you go back to Spider-Man as a teenager and you get a different actor, it might be that the audience will accept that more readily."
Meanwhile, Spider-Man costar Emma Stone is as impressed as we are by Garfield's freshly minted superhero physique. "He looks amazing in the suit," she gushed.
About those biceps he's showing off in the new issue of Details magazine, Stone gushed some more, "Not too shabby, right?"
We couldn't agree more.

Dynasty's Joan Collins Talks New Movie, Wants Chris Pine

 Fotonoticias/WireImage.com; Ferdaus Shamim/WireImage
The creators of the 1980s primetime soap Dynasty are developing a big-screen adaptation of the series, as I was first to report yesterday.
Esther and Richard Shapiro's flick would be a prequel centered on a young Blake Carrington and his first wife Alexis.
Well, I just chatted with the original ruthless and bitchy Alexis—Joan Collins!
Who does she think should play the young future oil moguls? Read on to find out...
FOLLOW: Marc on Twitter and Facebook
For Alexis, Collins thinks onetime Bond Girl and new face of G-Star, Gemma Arterton, would be perfect.
"She has all the qualities that Alexis needs," she exclusively told me from Birmingham, England, where she's costarring in stage show Dick Whittington. "She's sexy. She looks clever and she's kind of vixenous."
As for Blake (originally played by the late John Forsythe), Collins said, "I do think Chris Pine would be great as Blake. He's a wonderful actor."
Collins said she'd love to play Alexis again. "I certainly couldn't play her in a prequel in the 1960s," the 77-year-old Hollywood icon said, laughing. "But I always thought they should do it today with Alexis' grandchildren, who about 20 years ago were five and six."
Now I want to hear from you: Are you excited for the Dynasty movie? Leave your comments below.

Reunited! Barbara Hershey & Naveen Andrews Haven't Lost That Lovin' Feeling

 Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images; Ernesto Ruscio/Getty Images
Looks like Barbara Hershey and Naveen Andrews are back on.
At least that's what it looked like this weekend when...
TWITTER: Follow Marc for all the scoop from this year's Sundance Film Festival
The two hit the BAFTA/LA party at the Four Seasons in Beverly Hills.
While the Black Swan actress walked the carpet solo, she quickly met up with the former Lost star inside the event.
The two held hands while mingling with the likes of Jeff Bridges, Nicole Kidman, Ben Affleck and many others.
Hershey, 62, and Andrews, 42, announced in May that they had not only called it quits after several years together, but they had done so about six months earlier.
The only romance Hershey was talking about at the BAFTA bash was Natalie Portman and Black Swan actor and choreographer Benjamin Millepied.
"She's going to be a great mother," Hershey said of the mom-to-be. "She is going to be beautiful and great."

How'd he keep his impending fatherhood a secret?
FOLLOW: Marc on Facebook
"He's actually really quiet," says Carly Craig, one of Wilson's costars in the upcoming comeddy Hall Pass. "He's very reserved. He's just a normal sweet guy."
And that means he shouldn't have any problems with parenthood. "I think he's going to be a good dad," Craig said at the BAFTA/LA tea party at the Four Seasons. "Owen's normal, you know what I mean? He's not all crazy and wacky. He's not at all Hollywood. I think that makes a good parent."

Kristen Stewart's Money: What Does Sex Have to Do With It?

 Mark Sullivan/WireImage.com
Move over, Angelina Jolie!
Kristen Stewart has plans to help the world, too.
The Twi-star reveals...
RELATED: Rob Pattinson Goes Ginger
She plans to develop a network of halfway houses to help those who want to recover and get their lives back, an idea that was inspired by her research for the role of a runaway in the sex trade.
"Anytime I hear that somebody's really rich, the first question is, ‘Do you do anything with it? Or do you, like, chill? You just sit on it?' " Stewart says in the new issue of Vogue magazine.
Stewart, who reportedly is banking more than $25 million for the two Breaking Dawn movies, says of the halfway houses, "Right now it's the thing I feel most connected to."
Even though the actress can now help the less fortunate in Jolie-esque ways, that doesn't mean she doesn't miss having a so-called regular life. "There's no way to eloquently put this," she says. "I just can't go to the mall. It bothers me that I can't be outside very often. And also to not ever be just ‘some girl' again. Just being some chick at some place, that's gone.' "
No surprise, but Stewart refused to talk about her relationship with Robert Pattinson. "It's not my job," she says.
However, we do learn that during the fall (when the interview took place), she was reading Anna Karenina, Dave Cullen's Columbine and Into the Wild author Jon Krakauer's Under the Banner of Heaven. She admitted that L.A. musician Jenny Lewis leaves her utterly starstruck. "She's the only person I've ever met that I can't function around," she said.
She also listens to the Shins and Broken Bells and she's a Food Network junkie because her new hobby is cooking. Oh, and she also really enjoys playing—ready for this?—golf!
And remember when Jodie Foster told us she didn't think Stewart was going to pursue acting after working with her on Panic Room? Well, now K.Stew even admits, "At that time I just thought it was fun. I don't think I would ever have been able to be an actress had I not started at 9 years old. I would have been the last person to stand up and say, ‘I'd like to star in the play.' "

Kim Kardashian & Kris Humphries Not So Serious, Says BFF

 AP Photo/Mel Evans; E! Networks
Just because Kim Kardashian is seeing basketball star Kris Humphries, it does not—we repeat does not—mean it's a serious thing.
At least that's what her best friend LaLa Vasquez says. Sure LaLa likes the dude, but...
FOLLOW: Marc on Twitter and Facebook
"I think you guys probably think it's a little more than it is," she told reporters last night at W magazine's pre-Golden Globes party at Chateau Marmont. "It's a friendship now, and it's growing, and we'll see what happens. But he's definitely a nice guy, and he's gotten my stamp of approval."
Across town, Kim and sister Khloé weren't as talkative.
The two presented at the Critics' Choice Movie Awards at the Palladium, but declined to do much—if any—press when they walked the red carpet. Inside, they presented Best Documentary.
"What was that all about?" one studio exec griped. "Why did they have them doing Best Documentary? It wasn't funny and really disrespectful to the filmmakers."
Michael Caulfield/WireImage
Sure, the Kardashians aren't the first peeps that come to mind when you think about docs, but then again the show was broadcast on VH1. As we know here at E! and E! Online, there's a whole lotta folks out there who tune in just to see Kim, Khloé and the rest of the famous reality show clan. (Kourtney wasn't on-hand, but no word on why.)
Now, back to the W soiree: Andrew Garfield was there with girlfriend Shannon Woodward while Joe Jonas and Mila Kunis hugged hello. Other guests included Jon Hamm, Amy Adams, Mark Ruffalo, Julianne Moore, Kirsten Dunst, Emma Roberts and Colin Firth.

Ricky Martin's Life-Changing Advice for New Dad Elton John

Boy, oh boy!
Now that Elton John and hubby David Furnish have welcomed newborn son Zachary Jackson into the family, there are bound to be some changes going on in their household. So what can the first-time dads expect?
Fellow father Ricky Martin has some advice...
TWITTER: Follow @marcmalkin, @brettmalec and @itsmichaelyo
"Life changes!" Martin told our E! News pal Michael Yo earlier today during an interview with Y100 Miami radio. "You have to sleep because you are not going to sleep ever again! Babies wake up every two hours. At 7 o'clock you are awake. For me, I was a night owl in the past, but now, I'm up, I'm working, I'm already dealing with the kids."
As for expanding his own family, the 39-year-old singer says, "Fatherhood is incredible! Every day is something different. Matteo and Valentino, two boys, they're constantly ganging up on me but I can take it! They're amazing... I want more. This is only the beginning of our family."
How many more?
"I don't know," Martin laughed. "Maybe one, two more. But yeah, definitely. I need daddy's girl."

Maksim's New Bachelor Gig: "I'm Going to Give Him Hell," Says Derek Hough

 ABC/Adam Larkey
Has Maksim Chmerkovskiy set himself up for some major torture on the next season of Dancing With the Stars?
Quite possibly. "I'm going to give him hell when I see him," says fellow pro dancer Derek Hough.
Why? Because, as you may have heard, Maksim is the new Bachelor—in the Ukraine…

"I'm not going to lie," Hough told me last night at the Bulgari benefit for Save the Children and Artists for Peace and Justice. "When I first found out, I was very surprised and kind of found it funny.
"Well, not funny, but I know Maks," he continued. "It was like, 'You're going to do the Bachelor? And in the Ukraine?' "
Hough said he hopes Chmerkovskiy, who was once engaged to DWTS' Karina Smirnoff, does find love in his native country. "But when I seem him," he laughed, "I'm going to be like, 'Dude, you and [former Bachelor and DWTS celeb competitor] Jake Pavelka are in the same club now! Is there a clubhouse you go to? Do you have like Bachelor jackets, too?' "
Let's just hope Maks has better luck finding the right woman than Jake did.

Almost two weeks after Zac Efron and Rumer Willis were reportedly getting cozy while ringing in the New Year, the two were just spotted out together last night at Hollywood hotspot Las Palmas.
So was it a date? Are the young stars really more than friends?
Read on to find out what we caught them doing...
READ: Ashton Kutcher & Natalie Portman Get "Raunchy"
Efron and Willis arrived at the club together around 1 am. Neither were seen drinking, but that didn't stop them from having a good time and letting loose on the dance floor. While the two were caught dancing together, we hear there was no dirty dancing or any other signs of romance going on.
"There wasn't any unusual flirting," a source tells us
And at the end of the night, they didn't even leave together. Willis was the first to go, followed by Efron who was bombarded on the street by overzealous paparazzi.

"I had to keep switching it between two movies," he explained.
And then he added with a laugh, "I thought it was a nice change."
The two movies, obviously, are Breaking Dawn and Water for Elephants.
He laughed when I mentioned the recently released BD pic of him and Kristen, um, going at it. He was surprised Summit went with that one.
"It's crazy," he said. "They released a sex scene!"
As for Elephants, Pattinson beamed. "It was probably one of the best experiences I've ever had making a movie...
"I've been working with [Reese Witherspoon] for the last three days," he continued. "She's amazing. She's great. She's funny."
Wonder if she digs his hair?

Ryan Gosling & Valentine Director: Guns and Motorcycles Are Next

 Sam Sharma/PacificCoastNews.com
Get ready for a smokin' hot motorcycle-riding gun-wielding Ryan Gosling.
Not kidding, either. Gosling is reteaming with his Blue Valentine director Derek Cianfrance on something called The Place Beyond the Pines.
Sounds good so far, right?
MORE MOVIES: Ashton Kutcher & Natalie Portman Get "Raunchy"
"It's a crime drama," he told me yesterday at the Critics' Choice Awards in Hollywood last night. "It takes place in Schenectady, New York. It's all about, like, the sins of the fathers playing out in the lives these two sons.
"It has a little more action than Blue Valentine had," he continued. "This one has motorcycles and guns in it. With Blue Valentine I wanted to make a very violent movie without guns because I hate guns so much because every movie has guns in it...But it's hard to make a violent movie without guns it so the next one has a gun."
Cianfrance is also developing Muscle, a new series for HBO.
"It's about bodybuilders," he said. "It's sort of an urban retelling of a boy that gets sand kicked in his face. The reason I'm doing it as a TV show is that I can actually have an actor get big. I can get an actor start out as [small] but five seasons later, he's big."
He has yet to cast the starring role. In other words, young skinny actors looking for a job, please apply. We'll assume a gym membership is included.

What's Up With Jennifer Love Hewitt and Her Boyfriend?

 Michael Kovac/FilmMagic
I know what Jennifer Love Hewitt may be doing with her boyfriend Alex Beh this spring.
The Golden Globe nominee tells me…
MORE ROMANCE: Are Zac Efron and Rumer Willis really dating?
She and Beh will be in Chicago filming the coming-of-age indie flick Warren. Beh not only wrote the movie, but he's also producing, directing and costarring in it. Hewitt is playing his ex-girlfriend.
And then she'll be going behind the camera to make her feature film directorial debut with a big screen adaptation of family ghost story book, Wait Till Helen Comes. "I directed [Ghost Whisperer] a few times so this is new and exciting," Hewitt told me earlier this week at TV Land's party for Hot In Cleveland and new series Retired at 35.
She wants to shoot in the flick in Rhode Island. Casting hasn't begun, but Hewitt said, "I would love Maria Bello to be in it. I would love her to play the mom in it."
For now, Hewitt has Sunday's Globes to worry about. She's up for Best Actress in a Miniseries/TV Movie for her starring role as a suburban housewife-turned-call girl in Lifetime's The Client List.
She's already jotted down some notes for an acceptance speech—not because she thinks she's a shoo-in to win. "I'm terrified to speak in public," she confessed. "It's bad, so I did write a few things down on a little piece of paper."

What about starting a family? Anytime soon?

"I think we're really excited to have kids," Duff says. "He comes from a really big family. But I'm only 23, so give me a little bit of time."
As for just enjoying their new life together, "I think out of everything, we still have this really giddy excitement about each other that's like, 'We got married! Oh my god!' Like, 'You're my husband,' and, 'I'm your wife...' He's just such a good guy."
So what's next work-wise for the Duffster? More guest spots on Community? "I might want to do T.V." she said. "Pilot season is coming up. That could be exciting. I'm [also] definitely getting the itch to want to sing again and I'm figuring out how I'm going to work that into my life right now."

Is Mel Gibson on the Verge of a Comeback?

Mel Gibson's upcoming Jodie Foster-directed flick The Beaver has finally gotten a premiere date set for this March.

But the big question still remains: Could the film set the stage for a Mel Gibson comeback?

MORE: Naked Jennifer Lawrence: "I have no modesty left"

"I hope [so]!" Mel's Beaver costar Jennifer Lawrence told us at last night's Kentucky Derby Prelude Party at the London West Hollywood hotel. "I'm really excited for it to finally come out...It's a good movie and he's one of the best filmmakers that's ever lived. I don't think that anybody could take that away."

Meanwhile, Lawrence is prepping for this weekend's Golden Globe Awards. She's up for Best Actress in a Drama for her work in the indie drama Winter's Bone.

"I don't have a dress picked out yet!" the 20-year-old actress admitted. Her top picks include designs by Proenza Schouler, Gucci and Dolce & Gabbana.

"I didn't realize how much politics goes into it," says the first-time nominee, who just wrapped X-Men: First Class (she plays Mystique). "I just thought I would find something pretty and then put it on. It's much more complicated...I'm ready to just go in anything that Joan Rivers won't make fun of me in!"

FYI: Jennifer—and you!—can find out what Joan has to say about the Golden Globes on a special edition of  Fashion Police, Monday at 10 p.m. on E!

Now, we'd like to hear from you: Is a Mel Gibson comeback even possible? Sound off below.

Is Zac Efron gonna get it on with a smokin' hot older woman?
We've got our fingers-crossed for this cougar action.
What are we talking about? Read on to find out…

Efron has finally confirmed he has joined the star-studded ensemble cast of New Year's Eve, Garry Marshall's follow up to his hit, Valentine's Day. "I can tell you that all my scenes are with Michelle Pfeiffer," he told me at the Golden Globes. "I'm very excited."
So will we see him locking lips with the 53-year-old stunner? "I'm not gonna say," he teased.
Another New Year's Eve star is Lea Michele, who will be making her movie debut in the flick. She told me she's playing a singer and she will be singing a song we're all familiar with. As for her love interest, the Glee star said there will be a kiss. However, she wouldn't say who the lucky guy is.
"If I would've told my teenager self [who], I would've have freaked out," Michele said. "I'm just gonna block it out and pretend like he's not who he is."

Ryan Seacrest & Julianne Hough's Golden Globes Date Night

Ryan Seacrest and Julianne Hough finally did it last night—walked a red carpet together, that is.
Our E! News anchor buddy and the Burlesque beauty walked arm-in-arm as they made their way into the Weinstein Company and Relativity Media party at Trader Vic's.
Michael Yo and I caught up with them during E! Online's (two-hour!) livestream of the party arrivals. Asked if it was, indeed, their first carpet together, Seacrest said...
PHOTOS: Marc's Twitpics!
"With the exception of the one we bought the other day that we put in our house," he said, quickly adding, "Did I say ours? Just kidding—it's mine."
Hough said she "felt like a woman" in her Marchesa gown. When Seacrest asked her what she felt like before, she cracked, "A little girl, which you love." D'oh!
Inside the party (presented by Marie Claire magazine), Seacrest and Hough canoodled in a corner. Ryan Gosling danced to Cee Lo's "F--k You" as he said hello to Michelle Williams and Jake Gyllenhaal.
The Love and Other Drugs Globes-nominee joked that he had prepared an acceptance speech. "I spent months and months and months on it," he told me. "I spent months before the movie was even made working on it." And yes, Jakey wants to work with Anne Hathaway again. "I hope so soon," he said.
Later, Gosling was so excited to see Colin Firth, he walked across a table to get to him. And speaking of getting on top of a table, one very intoxicated-looking woman was dancing on her table when she fell and spilled her glass of champagne all over Marc Anthony.
Sofia Vergara and boyfriend Nick Loeb talked Valentine's Day. "I want flowers and chocolates," the Modern Family beauty said.
Ryan Phillipe was quite possibly the most low-key celeb of the evening. He not only declined doing interviews on the carpet (boo!), but he also spent much of the night by himself.
Paris Hilton hit the photo booth with our very own Brett Malec and Fox News' Deidre Behar. Where was the hotel heiress' boyfriend, Cy Waits? We're told he called it an early night.
Nicole Kidman was one of the first to arrive and hightailed it to her table to nibble on some fruit while Scarlett Johansson was just a few feet away chatting with Matt Damon.
No word if Damon ran into his ex, Minnie Driver, who looked fierce in a zippered body hugging black leather minidress. Thomas Jane sucked on a fat cigar all night, telling me and Yo that he'd love for Halle Berry to guest on Hung and wouldn't mind Betty White, too.
Gosling was one of the last to leave at about 12:30 as were Kate Bosworth (no Alexander Skarsgård in sight) and Golden Globe winner Claire Danes.
Helena Bonham Carter predicted that host Ricky Gervais would be "murdered" today for the jabs he took at celebs during his hosting duties, but also said he'll be back next year. "We're all grateful actually because it's essentially a real snooze fest," the King's Speech star said. "He keeps everyone awake."

Nicole Kidman, Ben Affleck, Michelle Williams Join Tea Party

 Frazer Harrison/Getty Images, Todd Williamson/Getty Images
What do you get when you have Nicole Kidman, Jeff Bridges, Michelle Williams, Jane Lynch, Andrew Garfield and Jane Lynch in the same room?
A tea party!
No, not that Tea Party!
TWITTER: Follow Marc Malkin
It was a megstar turnout yesterday for BAFTA/LA's annual awards season tea party at the Four Seasons hotel in Beverly Hills. American Idol producer Nigel Lythgoe somehow managed to stop by. "I'm running around trying to fit everything in," he said.
Lythgoe also told me that Jennifer Lopez's family are frequent visitors at Idol.  "The kids have been there, but not on set," Lythgoe said. "Marc [Anthony] is on set a lot of the time. He loves it…When Randy [Jackson] says, ‘Let me tell you what happens next,' they're like, ‘You don't have to show us. We've been watching it for nine years.'"
I asked Lythgoe who his pick would be to play at Prince William and Kate Middleton's wedding. "Oh, that's a good question," he said. "I don't know who they like, but I do remember when Princess Diana said, back in the day, she liked Dire Straits that all of a suddenly they became the band to watch."
Also at the BAFTA event (cohosted by Bombay Sapphire), Kidman was overheard telling Eric Stonestreet she is "big fan" of Modern Family. Speaking of Kidman, Kathy Griffin was on the hunt for The Rabbit Hole star. "Have you seen Nicole Kidman," she asked. "Where is she? I want to see her." (FYI: Griffin's bod? Amazing in a green Oscar De La Renta dress!)
Andrew Garfield proved to be quite patient and accommodating as a couple of admirers struggled with their own camera after asking to take a pic with the Social Network star. His girlfriend Shannon Woodward was by his side as he spent most of the afternoon chatting with Tom Sturridge and Rufus Sewell.
Jeff Bridges hung out with his True Grit costar Hailee Steinfeld and You Don't Know Jack star Brenda Vaccaro.
Jeremy Renner never took off his sunglasses, wearing them on the red carpet and inside the party. No word on why, but I could tell you that he appeared to be having a really good time the night before at the Critics' Choice Awards, at one point walking through the lobby of the Palladium arm-in-arm with Sam Rockwell and a beautiful blonde woman.
