Ashley Greene on love and life after 'Twilight'

Ashley Greene talks love, "LOL" co-star Miley Cyrus and life after "Twilight" in the March issue of Teen Vogue.

Greene has been dating singer Joe Jonas since last summer, shortly after the heartthrob attended the London premiere of her film "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse." Despite their busy schedules, the two have since moved full-steam ahead.

"We met through mutual friends in London, which is crazy because we both live in L.A.," Greene reveals. "We've already met each other's parents, which I think is a good result of the kind of lifestyle we live. He's sweet and really funny, which is huge for me."

Is 'Mad Men' star increasing boob jobs in England?

Is 'Mad Men' star increasing boob jobs in England?

Could it be that we can thank the hit series “Mad Men” if some British women are a bit more…robust in the chest area?

British newspaper The Telegraph reports that new statistics set to be released by the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS) are expected to show that the number of women having breast augmentations increased more than 10 percent in 2010 after stalling in 2009.

The paper says a BAAPS source suggested that the increase could be tied to the ample charms of buxom actress Christina Hendricks, who stars as secretary Joan Harris on the AMC show.

The paper quotes the source as saying, "You could argue that. Christina Hendricks is gorgeous, and the hourglass figure is definitely back in fashion. Let's just say that heroin chic isn't the big thing at the moment."

'Today' flashback: Katie Couric, what's an Internet?

A hilarious — and slightly embarrassing — 17-year-old clip of former "Today" show hosts Katie Couric, Bryant Gumbel and Elizabeth Vargas trying to figure out the Internet has turned up on, yup, the Internet.

In the 1994 clip, Couric, Gumbel, and Vargas struggle to make sense of the "Today" show's new email address, which, at the time, consisted of an "at" symbol that looked like an "a" enclosed in a circle.

"I wasn't prepared to translate that, as I was doing that little tease — that little mark with the 'a' and then ring around it," says Gumbel.

Leo DiCaprio loves 'The Millionaire Matchmaker'

Looks like a certain Hollywood millionaire is a titanic fan of Patti Stanger.

"At Laker game, I hear a voice: 'Love your show.' It's gorgeous Leonardo DiCaprio," the "Millionaire Matchmaker" star tweeted on Sunday. "I have officially died and gone to heaven."

She's not the only one. Following that tweet, one of Stanger's followers wanted in on the action and asked to be added to Stanger's database if DiCaprio becomes a client.

"Uh, that would be 'no,'" responded Stanger, "because he already has the hottest Jewish girl alive: Bar [Refaeli]."

Indeed, Sports Illustrated swimsuit model Refaeli, 25, has been dating DiCaprio, 36, since 2005. But it's nice to know that if things don't work out, he's got Stanger to help him get back into the dating game.

"The Millionaire Matchmaker" airs on Tuesdays at 9 p.m. on Bravo.

Is the Oscars race already over?

It looks like this year’s awards season is going to have one boring Oscar pool.

Between the 12 Oscar nods given to “The King’s Speech” and the film’s victory over the weekend – with director Tom Hooper being awarded for outstanding directorial achievement in feature film at the Directors Guild of America Awards, Colin Firth snagging the best actor SAG award plus the entire “King’s Speech” crew being awarded with a best movie ensemble SAG honor – critics are betting that Firth and Co. will be accepting awards on February 27 as well.

As the San Francisco Chronicle puts it, last night’s SAG awards “helped to bring all into crystal clear view: The King's Speech, barring a shocking upset from The Social Network, will be The Academy Awards winner for Best Picture. “

SAG stars show support for Charlie Sheen

A slew of celebrities at the SAG Awards were standing by Charlie Sheen's side as the troubled "Two and a Half Men" star seeks treatment at an undisclosed rehab facility.

"I say good for him; there's nothing better than seeking help in time of need," "Conviction" star Hilary Swank told CNN of 45-year-old Sheen, whose hit CBS series was put on production hiatus while he recovers.

"Breaking Bad" star Bryan Cranston echoed Swank's sentiment, and hopes Sheen takes his time to get healthy rather than rush right back to work. "No show is worth a man's health, and I hope he doesn't try to come back too early," he told CNN.

Here comes 'The Real Housewives of Atlanta'

There were lots of tears during Sunday night’s finale of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta.”

Cynthia cried over her money woes, her mother and her sister cried over her choice of husband, Peter cried as he watched his bride walk down the aisle and I cried over that wedding gown.

Cynthia is a gorgeous, gorgeous woman but I just wasn’t feeling her marital get-up, which looked to me like a platinum trash bag which was – in the words of my colleague Bree – reaching up to choke the very life out of her. The whole wedding was just sad for so, so many reasons.
