Hot Couple of the Minute: Amanda and Dominic

Not sure if this is news or if I somehow missed it, but Mamma Mia! co-stars Amanda Seyfried, 23, and Dominic Cooper, 30, are dating.  Here's the couple doing some shopping at Barney's in Beverly Hills yesterday.  I'm getting really excited for the Globes tomorrow!

On the Mend: Patrick Swayze

Patrick Swayze, 56, has checked into a Los Angeles hospital due to pneumonia.  His battle with pancreatic cancer make illness like this extra worrisome.  He was due to promote his new show, The Beast, yesterday, but was obviously unable to attend.  Wishing him a speedy recovery!

Hitched: Dexter Siblings

Michael C. Hall, 37, and Jennifer Carpenter, 29, play brother and sister cops on Showtime's Dexter, but they are now officially husband and wife.  The down-low couple were married in Big Sur on New Year's and plan to come out officially as a couple at the Golden Globes tomorrow.

Mommy and Me: Posh and the Boys

Victoria Beckham escorts her three sons, Brooklyn, Romeo, and Cruz, to dinner with Dolce & Gabbana in Milan, where their dad is currently playing soccer.  Then today they made their way to the airport to take off.  I cannot handle her hair anymore.  When's the next transformation?

WTF: Jessica Alba

Jessica Alba decided she was cool enough to attend the premiere of My Bloody Valentine 3D in Dolce & Gabbana pjs.  Spotlight hog!  This seriously drops her cool factor in my book, which was on the decline anyway, but I did always like her style.  Also at the event were Jaime King and Jensen Ackles, as well as Jessica's hubby, Cash.

DON's Deal

Hey everybody!  Thanks so much for the well wishes!  The long and short is that I have thyroid cancer, had my thyroid removed in November, and just went through radiation to hopefully kill anything that's left.  It's a fairly common type of cancer, though I'd never heard of it, I'm on the young side for getting it, and I felt nothing other than tired.  My doctor noticed a lump in my throat during a routine physical and tests followed that so thank God for a good doctor who noticed what I didn't.  

Upon my hospital admission that I was very close to the nursery and peeked for the Romijn-O'Connell twins, but didn't see anything that stood out, like halos over their heads or security guards by their bassinets.  Then once I went into radiation lock-down for the next few days, I saw on tv that Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck were there having babies, too!  For some strange reason, they don't want radioactive people near the babies or I would have gone down to start my own new X-Men super mutant celebrity tribe.

I'm now on lock-down at home and have to cover everything with plastic and wear plastic gloves for the next couple days.  My dog is crying to get in my room, but my dad is taking good care of her and I'll finally get to play with her on Sunday.  So I will get to some news that I missed out on and thanks again for the encouraging notes!  I love you guys!

DON's Deal

Back to the hosptial I go! I know this has been a lame past month of DON and I have made a resolution to do better by you guys, who have read this blog for years or just happened upon it recently. It's such a fun project of mine and I want to make sure it stays fun for you guys, too. Unfortunately I can't take my laptop in with me, but I will try to get online on Friday when I'm back home. I am able to take my phone (but it has to stay in a plastic bag which should be interesting) so give me a call if you're bored!

Thanks for the well wishes and sticking with me!
Smooches,
D.O.N.

Dunzo: Jennifer Love Hewitt and Ross McCall

One of Hollywood's most notorious bachelorettes, Jennifer Love Hewitt, 29, is single once again. She dated actor Ross McCall for two years before getting engaged in November 2007. Their holiday split reportedly surprised even those closest to the couple.

Kate and Anne Get to Work

Kate Hudson, 29, and Anne Hathaway, 26, exit an office building in New York where they participated in a photo shoot to promote their upcoming flick, Bride Wars. There are so many films coming out soon that I'd like to see. Did you guys see anything good over the holidays? I recently saw Gran Torino and it was fantastic. Yes, it gets heavy, but Clint Eastwood is really funny.

Stork Delivery: Rebecca Romijn

Rebecca Romijn and Jerry O'Connell welcomed their first children, twin girls, this morning in Los Angeles. Names have not been released at this time.
