Blake Lively & Ryan Reynolds Are Married | Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds It's been nearly a year since they were first publicly linked – and now Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds are husband and wife. A source confirmed that the couple tied the knot Sunday night at Boone Hall Plantation in Mt. Pleasant, S.C., just outside of Charleston. The two, who costarred together in 2011's Green Lantern, have stayed relatively mum about their relationship, though Lively, 25, did tell Marie Claire this summer, "It's definitely attractive when a man can dress well." Reynolds, 35, was previously married to Scarlett Johansson. The couple divorced in 2010 after two years of marriage. This is the first marriage for Lively, who previously dated her Gossip Girl costar Penn Badgley.


OJ Simpson So Convinced Khloe Kardashian Is His Daughter That He Adds Her Into His Will
Remember last year when the 6-time self-nominated mother of the year Kris Jenner wrote a juicy memoir that included titillating details about an affair she had while married to Robert Kardashian. And the affair came suspiciously close to the time Khloe Kardashian was conceived. Everyone with a heart was all like, “why would you include that detail in your book knowing that people already say Khloe Kardashian has a different father than Kourtney and Kim Kardashian?”  Well now OJ Simpson, allegedly changed his will to include Khloe Kardashain. “O.J. believes Khloe is his natural-born daughter through his affair with Kris Jenner when she was married to his buddy Robert Kardashian – and he wants to do something about it,” revealed an insider. “At 65, he’s tired and becoming increasingly aware he may not ever leave prison alive. He says he wants to ‘do the right thing.’”


The Kardashians Deny OJ Simpson is Khloe's Biological Father
 
Khloe Kardashian and her family are vehemently denying allegations that O.J. Simpson is her biological dad, but certain comparisons are being made between Khloe and Simpson’s daughter that can’t be ignored by those who take an interest in the story. Simpson was famously defended by Robert Kardashian during the murder trial in which he was accused of killing ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman in cold blood, and the two were good friends. Since Khloe’s mom, Kris, came out with the story that she had an affair while she was married to Robert, rumors have been flying that perhaps Khloe belongs to another man. Reportedly, Kris even urged Khloe to get a DNA test to find out for sure, since the affair occurred around the time Kris got pregnant with her, but Khloe refused. Now, the rumors have evolved to include Simpson. The biggest clue seems to be that Khloe doesn’t necessarily share her sisters’ physical attributes, but looks quite a bit like Simpson’s daughter Sydney.

With Regis and Kelly in March 2011. Inaba will be back for Dancing's 15th season, which kicks off Sept. 24 on ABC.

R. Kelly Tax Bill Increases, Singer Now Owes More Than $6 Million

The tax bill just keeps getting bigger for Robert Sylvester Kelly, better known as R. Kelly, who has been in the news in that past few months after reports surfaced that he owned several million in back taxes. The current amount R. Kelly currently owes has increased to more than $6 million. The singer-songwriter had previously been on the wrong side of both federal and state tax officials. It was reported that government documents revealed R. Kelly did not complete tax returns from 2005 through 2010 and last year owed$4,848,072.71 in back taxes. Reports are now stating that the state of Illinois filed a brand new claim against the singer, stating that R. Kelly now owes the Illinois' revenue department for the 2011 tax year in the amount of $1,379,695.11. "R. Kelly is in the process of working everything out with the government and is confident that all his obligations will be satisfied," his spokesperson said.


 

'The Hunger Games: Catching Fire' begins shooting in Georgia, before moving to Hawaii

The 75th annual Hunger Games are on! Lionsgate announced that The Hunger Games: Catching Fire has officially started production in and around Atlanta, Ga., with director Francis Lawrence (I Am Legend) at the helm, before moving to shoot in Hawaii. Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Hutcherson are, of course, reprising their respective roles as winning tributes Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark; Liam Hemsworth, Woody Harrelson, Elizabeth Banks, Lenny Kravitz, Stanley Tucci, and Donald Sutherland are all also returning, with Philip Seymour Hoffman, Sam Claflin, Jeffrey Wright, Jena Malone, and Amanda Plummer joining the franchise. Shooting is set to conclude in December. Intriguingly, the announcement was notable for what it didn’t mention as much as what it did. Several minor roles in the film have yet to be filled, including 11 of the tributes who make up the Quarter Quell, a.k.a the 75th annual Hunger Games. Lionsgate’s official synopsis for the film is also keeping the unique nature of the Quarter Quell close to the vest, although fans of the Suzanne Collins book already know it will be rather difficult for the studio to keep that plot point under wraps for much longer. And Lionsgate has yet to announce the final screenwriting credits for the film, although Slumdog Millionaire scribe Simon Beaufoy reportedly handed in a draft earlier this year. The Hunger Games: Catching Fire will hit  theaters Nov. 22, 2013.
 One of the biggest offseason moves in the NFL was a billion-dollar deal that affected every franchise. The league switched to Nike as its uniform supplier after 10 years with Reebok, and the new line made its debut as the regular season got underway. Generally speaking, with the Seattle Seahawks being the notable exception, most of Nike's changes were under-the-hood stuff: Staying cool, keeping dry, feeling comfortable, etc.Perhaps the most noticeable wrinkle was the addition of designs around the collar, on the sides and in the back. But much of Nike's media push has focused on the functionality, and that includes the use of roughly a dozen different fabrics on a single uniform to maximize ventilation, durability and comfort. "Designed and engineered from the inside out, the new uniform focuses on creating a system where the baselayer, padding, jersey and pant work in concert," Nike notes in its press release. Of course, advances in technology come with unintended consequences or unfortunate byproducts -- or both, if you happened to be watching the Lions-Rams game Sunday.

Sheryl Crow Believes Cell Phone Caused Tumor
Did too much time on a cell phone cause Sheryl Crow's benign brain tumor? In a sit-down on Katie Couric's new talk show, the singer says she suspects that's what might have caused her condition. "There are no doctors that will confirm that," Crow, 50, acknowledged on "Katie." "[But] I do have the theory that it's possible that it's related to that. When I was promoting my first record, I did hours of [interviews] on the old archaic cell phones." Sheryl says the tumor is in the spot where she would hold her phone, and explains that she initially suspected it was early-onset Alzheimer's because she felt "mushy" -- forgetting lyrics and spacing out onstage. Crow, who successfully battled breast cancer several years ago, tells Couric the pinky-sized tumor is "nothing I have to worry about," but she will continue to keep a close eye on it.
'Star Trek'/Paramount Pictures J.J. Abrams' upcoming "Star Trek" sequel finally has a title. The latest installment in the ongoing adventures of the U.S.S. Enterprise has been christened "Star Trek Into Darkness. "The follow-up to the 2009 reboot will once again star Chris Pine as Captain Kirk, Zachary Quinto as Mr. Spock and Karl Urban as Dr. McCoy, with Abrams returning as director.

 
Chad Johnson Refuses to Sign Divorce Papers
Chad Johnson continues to fight for the heart of his soon-to-be ex-wife Evelyn Lozada, as it's being reported that Johnson is holding out on signing divorce papers, which would officially end his marriage to the Vh1 reality TV star. After being arrested for head-butting Lozada back in August, Johnson has since gotten a tattoo of Lozada's face placed on his leg. He's even tweeted about Lozada as his wife -- even though Lozada is ready to divorce Johnson. Johnson refuses to sign divorce papers or appear at any of the divorce proceedings because he doesn't want to get a divorce. The source goes on to say that Johnson believes in his heart that he can actually win back Evelyn. In reality, Lozada doesn't need Johnson's signature to be granted a divorce. In Florida, Lozada can ask a judge for approval to be divorced from Johnson. People close to Lozada are saying that NO WAY would she go back to Chad under any circumstances.
