Don Draper is definitely on to something - it turns out girls might really be crazy about a sharp dressed man after all.

A recent study conducted by Men's Wearhouse found that clothes really do make the man, even on television where a not-so-nice guy might still get the girl when he's nattily attired.

Characters like Draper on "Mad Men", "How I Met Your Mother"s Barney Stinson (well know for his "suit up" advice) and Mr. Big on "Sex and the City" display that there is a lot to be said for setting a fashion standard.

James Franco is one busy guy. As Marquee previously reported, the "127 Hours" actor is set to host the February 27 Oscars and is preparing to write and direct a film based on the life of slain "Rebel Without a Cause" star Sal Mineo.

Now, "Palo Alto" author Franco is planning to bring two literary classics to the big screen, reports Showbiz411.com. The first is William Faulkner's "As I Lay Dying," which Franco plans to direct based on a screenplay that he wrote. Franco told Showbiz411's Roger Friedman he hopes to begin the project next spring.

Meanwhile, Franco also hopes to take on Cormac McCarthy's "Blood Meridian" in 2012 and is currently in the process of making a deal to write the script and direct the project.

Those hoping to get a glimpse of 32-year-old Franco's talents as a filmmaker will get the chance at this month's Sundance Film Festival, where he'll show off his art project film based on the hit '80s sitcom “Three’s Company."

I have to say there were a lot of surprising Hollywood hookups over the holidays, but the one that is most surprising to me is Ryan Reynolds and Sandra Bullock.

They got together with some friends to celebrate the New Year. Ryan and Sandra have denied any romantic connection, but seeing those two together got me thinking: maybe these two should get together!

Let’s look at the facts: They had great chemistry in their hit movie “The Proposal,” they’re both newly single, he was named People’s “Sexiest Man Alive” and she was named People’s “Woman of the Year”! Seems like the stars are aligning in more ways than one!

Howard Stern announced on his Sirius/XM radio show today that he would be among the first guests on "Piers Morgan Tonight," which is set to debut in CNN's 9 p.m. time slot on January 17.

Piers Morgan is remaining tight-lipped about the alleged booking - no official word yet on Howard Stern or any other guest. But Stern provided grist to the rumor mill when he said that he probably should not have mentioned it at all.

TVNewser posted a recap of the segment, which originally appeared on the Stern fan site MarksFriggin.com: FULL POST

Country songs may be a bit more uplifting in 2011 now that all of the industry’s female stars are walking down the aisle. Kellie Pickler just joined friend Carrie Underwood and fellow singer Shania Twain in happily-married-land (and Miranda Lambert’s up next!)

"Yes, it's true," Pickler tweeted at 3 p.m. Tuesday. "@kylecjacobs and I said 'I Do!' Thank you Jesus!"

The former "American Idol" contestant wed songwriter Kyle Jacobs in a secret ceremony on January 1 on a private island in the Caribbean. The couple got engaged in June 2010 on a Florida beach after 2 ½ years of dating.

No other details were made public, but Pickler shared some of her wedding plans with PEOPLE in August.

Sometimes it's an honor just to be nominated – but not when it comes to the Razzies.

The nomination ballots for the awards celebrating the worst movies of 2010 have just been mailed out, and "Burlesque" leads the pack, with nods for worst actress (Christina Aguilera), worst supporting actress (Kristen Bell and Cher), worst supporting actor (Cam Gigandet), worst screenplay, and worst director.

The glitzy musical was not, however, considered for worst picture, reports the L.A. Times. That distinction went to "The Bounty Hunter,” “Clash of the Titans,” “The Expendables,” “Grown Ups,” “Jonah Hex,” “Killers,” “The Last Airbender,” “Little Fockers,” “Sex and the City 2,” “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse,” “Vampires Suck” and “Yogi Bear.”

The end of 2010 saw a slew of celeb break-ups, but there’s still plenty of love left in Hollywood. Vivica A. Fox is the latest star getting ready for a walk down the aisle.

A rep for the “Set It Off” and "Independence Day" actress confirmed to CNN that Fox is engaged to Omar “Slim” White, an Atlanta-area club promoter.

White, 27, presented Fox, 46, with an eight-carat sparkler on December 26 while the couple was spending the holiday at the Ritz Carlton South Beach, People reports. The two have been dating for just over a year, and are looking forward to building a life together.

"They are both eager to start their lives together and have a family," a source told People. "She is so excited; it is heartwarming to be around her."

This will be marriage No. 2 for Fox, who was previously married to singer Christopher "Sixx Nine" Harvest from 1998 to 2002.

Editor’s Note: This post contains spoilers from the January 3, 2011 episode of "How I Met Your Mother."

The bright red “50” sitting on Lily and Marshall’s doctor’s desk at the beginning of Monday night’s “How I Met Your Mother” looked like any other prop… at first.

But, a moment later, when the numbers 49 and 48 appeared on a pamphlet and a bottle of hot sauce, viewers knew something was up.

It was the countdown to bad news, which, for a moment, seemed like it might be the couple’s inability to conceive a child naturally.

With a hit E! reality series and a successful fashion and fragrance line, Kim Kardashian has transformed herself into one of today's most popular stars. In fact, she tells February's Glamour magazine, "I get letters from little girls begging me to adopt them."

"I think I'm really at the point now where I feel I've done so much that I'm OK with not having that attention," she tells interviewer Katie Couric. "Sometimes it's overbearing. I used to think that I would never feel this way. Before, we used to buy all the tabloids and see if we were in them…Now, I don't even buy [the tabloids]."
