Those hysterical fans at the November 15 "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1" New York premiere probably didn't rattle "Glee" newcomer Darren Criss as he walked the red carpet – after all, just last year, he was one of them.

The Hollywood Reporter reveals that Criss appeared on the front of the magazine's July 16, 2009 issue for a story about the mania surrounding the release of "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince."

The cover shot shows a shaggy-haired Criss wearing a Hogwarts school uniform and a pair of round spectacles as he stands alongside fellow frantic J.K. Rowling fans at the L.A. premiere.

The love is apparently still going strong for Keith Urban and his wife, Nicole Kidman. The country crooner dedicated his latest album to his actress wife and lets it be known that he adores her.

Showbiz411.com reports that Urban dedicated his “Get Closer” album to his missus with the words,  “Nicole Mary–i continue to be brought to my knees by this love of ours…I am in awe of how this blessed family we are creating stretches and fearlessly opens my vulnerable heart.”

And if that’s not enough, Urban goes on to say, “And I just want to be a better man for you and father for our heavenly Sunday Rose, and have you go to sleep every night knowing that no one has ever, or will ever, love you as much I do…and all we need is faith…”

That's so sweet we can't stand it!

If you somehow managed not to be blown away by the fabulous things Oprah Winfrey gave away Friday during her “Ultimate Favorite Things” show, never fear! The daytime queen was at it again today with part two of the last “Favorite Things” special ever. The fact that it was the very last did give the special a tinge of sadness, but let’s get on to the gifts!

The show opened with Winfrey, clad in gold, telling the audience how exhausted she was from the first part of her “Ultimate Favorite Things.”

“Were you really ticked off you missed the first show? Did you see the people leaving with all their stuff?” she asked the audience, which was filled with heroes, givers and ultimate viewers, all of whom thought they’d just missed out on the hottest ticket in television.

Apparently Courtney Love doesn't believe there is such a thing as overexposure.

Six weeks after posting steamy photos on Twitter and vowing to quit the social networking site, the singer has tweeted a whole new set of racy pics.

On Saturday afternoon, the rocker uploaded a stream of sexy portraits, including shots of Love reclining in her underwear, smooching hotelier and sometimes love Andre Balazs, locking lips with another woman while exposing her nipple and showing off a pair of spiky heels.

For real, Phaedra?

Did you really think you would get away with the whole “they are inducing me at seven months pregnant” story? How awesome was it to have the doctor bust Fakedra’s story in front of her pastor mama as well as Kandi? We all knew that chick was full term, but it was still sweet to hear the doctor confirm it.

Kim was all over that, thanks in part to her nursing studies, and she knew it was all fakery. Turns out Kim knows even more about babies than we thought, but that's another blog.

Backstreet’s back alright, and so are the New Kids on the Block. All grown up (but forever referred to as boy bands), they talked to CNN on the red carpet at the American Music Awards Sunday.

BSB’s Howie Dorough let a little secret slip in front of our cameras: The two bands have already recorded a new single together. TMI? Maybe. Once Dorough let that cat out of the bag, NKOTB's Joey McIntyre said, "You gave her the scoop, Howie!"

The boy bands made for one of the biggest onstage highlights at the awards show with a medley of hits like "Everybody (Backstreet's Back)," "Hangin' Tough," "I Want It That Way" and "Step By Step." (Update 1:55 p.m. Fans are clearly amped for this union, as the two groups have added 18 shows to their upcoming co-headlined summer tour, with an additional night in both Chicago and Toronto.
