star wars love in the oc 

secretive couple hayden christensen and rachel bilson are reportedly engaged.  and the engagement isn't all that recent.  the pair moved from boyfriend and girlfriend to fiances sometime over the holidays, in december.  the duo have been together since filming began on the 2006 thriller jumper, in which the twosome starred together.  however, the news hasn't exactly been made official.  both rachel and hayden are uber private people and neither ones' reps would comment on the situation.  only "friends" and "sources" have come forward, saying that rachel is thrilled, but no wedding date has been set.  i would think the couple will be a perennially engaged one, never quite getting to the alter.  they just don't seem like the kind of couple to get hitched.  but, if they do, you probably won't be seeing any wedding photos in any tabloids.  the couple would most definitely want to keep everything a private affair, similar to salma hayek's valentines nuptials.  maybe one paparazzi would be able to get a super strong lens to take a pic from a helicopter?

oscars to get musical number

with tony award winner hugh jackman helming the 81st annual academy awards, its no shocker that some flashy song and dance routines will be coming our way when the show goes live sunday night.  but, jackman won't be doing these big production numbers alone.  the award show has recruited some of the biggest names in modern movie musicals to help hugh out, with zac efron and vanessa hudgens from high school musical (and hairspray for zac), amanda seyfried and dominic cooper from mamma mia, and beyonce from dreamgirls and cadillac records all jumping on board.  this is sure to be on crazy number - can you imagine? i can't wait to see what's going to happen.  and what are they going to sing?  maybe these will be the performers for the best original song category? the songs were being compiled into a medley to be performed altogether, with each song receiving about 60 seconds of on air time.  though i can't see this random cast of characters performing songs from wall-e and slumdog millionaire.  either way, we won't have to wait long to find out when the oscars air this sunday on abc.  

lindsay lohan, entrepreneur? 

with her acting and singing career on hold, la lohan has been looking at all the available opportunities to make money.  last year she launched a line of leggings, 6126 (after marilyn monroe's bday), and now she's working on a line of self tanners, stay gold. a real creative name if you ask me.  lindsay didn't divulge exactly what will make the products special, but we're sure they'll make you just as orange as she and her mother seem to be year round.  lindsay is also branching out into other cosmetics with stay gold (also not discussed) and will expand her clothing line to include more than just leggings by 2011.  will lindsay become a force in the fashion world?  that would be interesting to see.  if anything, she'll probably have a jessica simpson style clothing empire  - it doesn't show at fashion week but it super profitable.  like jessica, lindsay jumped on the bandwagon when her look was/is one of the most copied.  why? i don't know.  simpson recently expanded her shoe and hadbag line to include dresses, swimwear, and lingerie.  hopefully lindsay will be able to get both these ventures as well as her original career in order.
