Among the mourners at Heath Ledger’s memorial service on Saturday morning was Michelle Williams, the late actors former fiance. After the service, as people were jumping into the ocean, Williams was also dragged in there - sundress, sunglasses, and all. According to People Magazine,

“At least 50 people attending the wake ran onto the beach and many began to take off their clothes. While some women took the plunge in their black dresses, other men and women stripped down to just their underwear and jumped into the ocean.”

It was an unofficial but very sentimental end to a very sad ceremony. People also says that two of the guests in the water were heard saying, “The sun goes down on our love. But it will never go down on Heathy.”

Michelle Williams is the former fiancee of Ledger’s and they had a daughter, Matilda who is now two, together. Williams was seen leaving the funeal with Ledger’s mother, Sally Ledger.

Christian Brando, eldest son of the late Marlon Brando, died today from pneumonia at Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center in Los Angeles. He was only 49 years old. He entered the hospital on January 11th.

As you may remember, Christian served five years in prison for the manslaughter killing of his sister Cheyenne’s boyfriend in 1990. Brando said it was an accident. He and Dag Drollet - his sister’s boyfriend - were struggling during an argument wherein Brando accused Drollet of beating Cheyenne, who was pregnant.

In 2005, Brando was charged with two counts of spousal abuse, to which he pled guilty. Part of his three year probation included drug and alcohol rehabilitation, as well as entering a spouse abuse prevention program.

Rumor surrounded Brando during the Robert Blake murder trial. It was theorized that Brando was the killer of Bonnie Lee Bakley, with whom he was once involved.

Brando has definitely led a checkered life. He died unmarried and without any children. Thank goodness for small favors.

You think you know your celebrities, right? Well, Pop Pix on Dotspotter takes a completely new approach to the game of “Who’s Who” in Hollywood. Instead of choosing the bigger celebrity, one has to choose between who the more popular celebrity is this week, or ‘Who’s All The Buzz About?’

If you think you know your celebrity stuff, play the game, and work your way up the scoreboard to win the $250 prize.  Click the picture above to start playing.

This week seems to be great for this Charlie’s Angles star, Drew Barrymore. The People magazine has put this free-spirited actor on the #1 spot on its annual ‘100 Most Beautiful People’ list. And what’s even more interesting is that the actor seems to have found love in the arms of director Spike Jonze!

Barrymore’s reaction at being the most beautiful People’s person - “I just think happiness is what makes you pretty. Period. Happy people are beautiful. They become like a mirror and they reflect that happiness.”      

This beautiful and happy star will be the cover girl for the issue due out on 27 April. However, the 32-year-old Barrymore has been on the list four times previously, it’ll be her first time to grace the cover of the issue.

Barrymore also mentioned her first rule for dating as, “The only fundamental rule for me is to just be yourself”.

All you people….this is advice comes straight from the ‘Most Beautiful Person’….just for you!

Take a look at the supermodel’s fashions as she arrives at “work”…

Naomi Campbell is serving a five-day sentence at community service at the New York City Department of Sanitation for throwing a BlackBerry at her former housekeeper. Sure she does this in style…

For those who believe that love feelings can survive in Hollywood, we have a good example.

One of the hottest celebrity couples Sarah Michelle Gellar and her mate, half Puerto Rican fine specimen of a husband, Freddie Prinze Jr, had a great night together. To be more specific the pair had a very romantic dinner together.

Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze Jr are married for five years ago and are still happy and in deep love. To celebrate their love, they had this romantic moment in Dominick’s in Beverly Hills on Saturday (February 17)!

We really enjoy seeing such nice couples..

Ryan Reynolds and Alanis Morissette have called it quits…again.

Their reps, Dvora Vener and Meredith O’Sullivan, say in a joint statement, “Ryan Reynolds and Alanis Morissette have mutually decided to end their engagement.

“They remain close friends and continue to have the utmost love and admiration for each other. They ask that their privacy be respected surrounding this personal matter.”

AWW isn’t that sweet. Because I am sure that is how they really feel.

Morissette, 32, and Reynolds, 30, had also broke up in June, but within weeks they were seen walking in Vancouver, holding hands in L.A. and, on Oct. 1, kissing in New York City. So they didn’t really break up.

Alanis and Ryan, both Canadian-born, met in 2002 and dated for two years before becoming engaged in 2004.

They never announced a wedding date.

“We’re just really enjoying this [engagement] phase,”

Morissette said in 2005. Added Reynolds,

“We feel like we’re already married.”

hmm… with the divorce rate these days, maybe that’s why they broke up!!!

Rumors are flying around Hollywood that Sienna Miller and co-star Hayden Christensen had actual sex during a scene in their new film Factory Girl.

In the movie Sienna plays Edie Sedgwick, Andy Warhol’s muse. You remember Sienna, she is the one that was with Jude Law and then he cheated on her with the nanny, so she retaliated etc…

Hayden Christensen, who played the young Darth Vader in Star Wars, is Sienna’s love interest in a steamy scene in which the couple make love.

With Hayden and the British actress reportedly becoming close off-screen, sources on the set told tabloids the scenes were actually real.

All the “blame” of this apparently has fallen to Sienna.
When she came from the screening of the film at the Tribeca Grand hotel in New York - with her parents beside her; She was mobbed by reporters asking her about the incident.

“Oh, darling, that is so horrible,” she told the reporter. “You obviously don’t know anything about making movies.”

Miller’s publicist has denied the reports the sex scenes were real, saying it was simply tribute to Sienna’s acting skills, although the publicity generated by the rumors will not do any harm for the film’s takings at the box office.

Grey�s Anatomy star Isaiah Washington has entered a residential treatment facility in an effort to quell the controversy surrounding his anti-gay remarks � and save his job. What is it with everyone going into rehab lately??? ok I know that being anti-gay is very wrong but now there is rehab for it?

According to an insider, Isaiah, who issued an apology for his statements on Jan. 18, agreed to undergo a psychological assessment after talks with ABC executives.

Ok for those that don’t remember the whole problem is that Dr. Burke basically outed T.R. Knight on the set of Grey’s which of course is a big no no. Then at the Golden Globes he denied that he had ever said it but while denying it he said the word um “Rhymes with rag.” So basically the guy is a homophobe and ABC says he has to go to rehab. Hope he sees brit and lindsey there.

He is married and has 4 children! Apparently he was spotted going into a rehab facility today. I just don’t know what I’ll do w/o my Dr. Burke!

In a statement today Isaiah said �With the support of my family and friends, I have begun counseling. I regard this as a necessary step toward understanding why I did what I did and making sure it never happens again. I appreciate the fact that I have been given this opportunity and I remain committed to transforming my negative actions into positive results, personally and professionally.�

�ABC has told him he must enter a program to examine why he would say such hateful words,� the insider says.

Meanwhile, during an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show on Jan. 17, T.R. confirmed what Isaiah had said last fall � and expressed surprise at his co-star�s attempted denial.

Isaiah issued his apology the next day, saying, �I can neither defend nor explain my behavior. I can also no longer deny to myself that there are issues I obviously need to examine within my own soul, and I�ve asked for help.�

Isaiah�s cast mates have been vocal about the controversy. �I feel really sad,� Kate Walsh has said. �I just trust that our show will deal with it in the way it sees fit.�

Katherine Heigl called the situation �tense,� adding, �I think it�ll work out and I�m hopeful that it�s handled properly.�

Obviously the reps at ABC did not comment available for comment.

Brandy could now face jail time for her fatal car crash

The Los Angeles City Attorney’s Office said Monday that the California Highway Patrol, has recommended a vehicular manslaughter charge be brought against the former star of Moesha who won a Grammy for her single “baby.”

The charge under review is a misdemeanor, the city attorney’s office said. It carries a maximum penalty of one year in jail and a $1,000 fine.

But a guilty conviction also could result in anything from house arrest to a work-furlough program, according to Mary Frances Prevost, a criminal-defense attorney based in California.

She has no known prior convictions and has not been accused of being under the influence of drugs or alcohol at the time of the crash?

“She could conceivably do no time if convicted,” Prevost said.

There was no word or reaction yet from Brandy’s camp regarding the entertainer’s possible criminal charge.

The crash in question occurred when, the CHP said, Brandy failed to slow her 2007 Land Rover on the 405 Freeway in Los Angeles, and rear-ended a 2005 Toyota Corolla, setting off a chain-reaction crash.

The driver of the Toyota, Awatef Aboudihaj, 38, of Los Angeles, suffered multiple pelvic fractures, and died in the hospital on Dec. 31, the CHP said.

The crash was unreported until last week. TMZ unearthed the accident report. In response, Brandy’s publicist released a statement in which the singer-actor “express[ed] her condolences to the family of the deceased,” and asked for privacy for everyone involved in accident.

The accident marked the second time in as many years that an alumnus of Moesha was involved in a fatal crash. In 2005, actor Lamont Bentley, who played Moesha Mitchell’s devoted friend Hakeem, died in a solo crash.

Recently seen as a judge on NBC’s America’s Got Talent, Brandy’s career slowed after giving birth to her daughter, now four.

At her peak, in 1998, Brandy was starring as the level-headed title character in Moesha (1996-2001), screaming opposite Jennifer Love Hewitt in I Still Know What You Did Last Summer, and winning a Grammy with fellow one-named star Monica for their duet, “This Boy Is Mine.” She was not yet 20.

Other notable credits include the top-rated TV musical Cinderella, first aired in 1997.

Brandy, whose full name is Brandy Norwood, turns 28 on Feb. 11.

Now that Lindsay Lohan has taken the plunge, it seems that Britney Spears is being pushed to follow suit. It seems all too funny, but is K-Fed playing the role of responsible parent?

Federline is urging his estranged wife, Britney, to get into rehab. He of course isn’t going to pay for it, but he still wants her to go. He only gets 30,000 a month for a year. The way he is used to living, that isn’t too much. They had an iron clad pre-nup and if Brit goes into rehab it is going to look better for him!

“Kevin has tried to convince Britney to check herself into rehab from every possible angle,� a source from msnbc online stated. �First he tried threatening to take away the kids, then he tried pleading with her to take care of herself.� K-Fed even joined forces with his former nemesis, Brit’s mom. , in an effort to convince the singer to get help. �He�s afraid she�s going to hurt herself,� said the source. Federline is also concerned that Brit does not spend enough time with their children, claims the insider. �They�re being raised by strangers,� he said. �He told Britney to get help before it�s too late.� It is a bit scary that all of these young stars seem to be having complete meltdowns. If true, it is hoped that Britney does what she needs to do to take care of herself.
I’m sorry but where was he when she was “having a meltdown” it didn’t start with the breakup. What about hick brit? Or 2 children in as many years one who is only 4 months old? What about his other 2 kids? I’m not saying she doesn’t need rehab but he isn’t innocent either, and he does not need custody of those children!!

Marilyn Manson’s wife of just over a year, model and burlesque dancer Dita Von Teese, is seeking a divorce. Von Teese and Manson were wed Nov. 28, 2005, and according to court documents. They separated on Christmas Eve.
Their wedding was very secretive including guests such as Madonna, Lisa Marie Presley and Johnny Depp. It was reported to cost over $500,000 USD for the ceremony at Castle Gurteen in County Tipperary, Ireland. If I spent that much for the wedding, I might have tried to keep the girl around a little longer….

Anne Heche has split from her cameraman husband Coley Laffoon, the star�s rep confirms.
The couple �have decided to separate after five years of marriage,� the actress�s rep said in a statement Wednesday. �They have requested that they be allowed their privacy at this time.�
Laffoon, 33, and Anne Heche 37, wed in 2001, and have a 4-year-old son, Homer.

Entertainment Tonight has reported that Anne is romantically involved with her costar, James Tupper. Heche�s rep had no comment on the relationship. Tupper split from his wife in November, according to ET. His rep had no comment.

Heche dated Ellen DeGeneres for several years before the couple broke up in 2000. In 2001, she published an autobiography, Call Me Crazy, in which she detailed her struggles with mental illness. She has also dated Steve Martin, yes that Steve Martin. And Richard Burgi.

In October, Heche said she was happy in her married life. �You hopefully have a journey where you can get healthy and find love, and fortunately I did,� she said.
Well we all lie sometimes, especially when we are ahem… boinking someone else

Despite their broken relationship and engagement, Nicole Richie and DJ AM continue to hang out and enjoy each other’s company. Why you might ask? Well, according to Page Six, it seems that DJ AM could be using Nicole for some attention…some street cred for the ‘in crowd’. The article reveals that DJ has been asking several of his friends to set him up with a girl ‘with a name’…as in a household name. (Unfortunately Paris Hilton is out of this race). A source close to DJ admits, “Basically, he knows he can charge a lot more when he is attached to a famous girlfriend. His rates have had to go way down since he split up with Nicole.”
