A rep for the San Antonio Spurs guard Parker confirmed to People.com that the French player and the “Desperate Housewives” star are officially divorced as TMZ first reported. The divorce was finalized in Texas, where Parker filed his papers. Longoria reportedly withdrew last week the divorce petition she had filed last year in Los Angeles, saying that the Lone Star state was the right venue for the dissolution of their marriage as it is where the ex-couple’s pre-nuptial agreement was signed.

The couple suddenly separated in November allegedly due to Parker’s infidelity. Reports had said back then that Longoria, 35, found out that her former husband was cheating with Erin Barry, the then-wife of Parker’s teammate Brent Barry. Erin and Brent’s divorce was also finalized earlier this year.

Longoria and Parker were married in 2007 after more than two years of dating. It is the second divorce for Longoria, who was married to “General Hospital” actor Tyler Christopher from 2002 to 2004.

Director Zack Snyder announced the casting news on Sunday, saying that Cavill, best known for his role in the BBC mini-series “The Tudors,” is “perfect” for the role as Superman and his alter-ego Clark Kent. “I also join Warner Bros. and the producers in saying how excited we are about the casting of Henry. He is the perfect choice to don the cape and S shield,” Snyder, whose works include “300″ and “Watchmen,” said.

Although Cavill is relatively unknown, his entry into the Superman project was not entirely a surprise. According to BBC, Cavill missed out on a chance to don Superman’s cape years earlier when he was beaten by Brandon Routh to the plum role in Bryan Singer’s “Superman Returns” in 2006. Cavill, who played Albert Mondego in 2002′s “Count of Monte Cristo,” was also reportedly a frontrunner to star as Bruce Wayne in Chris Nolan’s “Batman” films but was eventually beaten to the role by Christian Bale.

Penelope Cruz

A rep has confirmed that Cruz, 36, gave birth to her first child with husband Bardem, 41, on January 22 at the Cedars Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles. “Penelope and Javier welcomed their first son into their family last week,” the rep said according to Usmagazine, adding that all members of the family “are doing great.” Some members of Cruz’s and Bardem’s families were also on hand when the baby boy was born, Usmagazine said. Among those who flew from Spain to give their moral support to Cruz were her mother, brother, and sister. Bardem’s mother also arrived from Spain to welcome her grandson, reports said.

Bardem and Cruz were secretly married in the Bahamas in July 2010 after dating for three years. Cruz and Bardem are both Oscar winners—she as Best Supporting Actress in 2008 for “Vicky Cristina Barcelona” and he as Best Supporting Actor for 2007′s “No Country for Old Men.”

Padma Lakshmi

In his court filings, Dell claimed that he deserves to have full custody of his daughter, Krishna Thea, as Lakshmi’s busy schedule and globetrotting ways prevents her from focusing on their daughter. Dell, a brother of Dell Inc founder Michael Dell, said that the “Top Chef” host is “either unable or unwilling to moderate either her social or business travel.” Dell, 41, also confirmed in the lawsuit that he is indeed the father of Krishna. Lakshmi gave birth to Krishna in February last year without revealing the identity of his father. Dell and Lakshmi had already broken up at the time the baby was born, the lawsuit revealed.

Lakshmi’s camp has denied Dell’s allegations regarding her lack of time for her daughter, with the celebrity cookbook author’s lawyer describing the suit as “inaccurate and misleading.”

According to the Sydney Morning Herald, Monk, 31, revealed her engagement to boyfriend Jimmy Esebag, 50, during an interview with local station 2Day FM. “I got engaged, and I kept it quiet so no one’s heard much about him. … It feels right — I think you know when you know,” Monk was quoted as telling the “Kyle and Jackie O” radio show. Monk, who previously dated Good Charlotte guitarist Benji Madden, described her business executive fiance as a “male version” of her and a “keeper.” “I’m marrying a male version of myself, which is dangerous but good. … He’s a keeper.”

Aside from Madden, Monk, who has appeared in “Date Movie” and “Click,” was also linked to American Idol host and radio jock Ryan Seacrest and actor Kevin Connolly of the HBO series “Entourage,” where she made a guest appearance in 2007.

MaCaulay Culkin

Culkin, who recently broke up with longtime girlfriend Mila Kunis, told Eonline that there was nothing more to a picture of him and adult film star Irene Lopez that hit the web on Friday. “As I do with many fans, I briefly met and took a photo with Irene Lopez at her request,” the 30-year-old “Home Alone” star said. Culkin was forced to come out and speak about the issue after Lopez was quoted as saying last week that she has been hanging out with the actor. “The last time I was with him, no one found out about it. I don’t know what happened this time that the newspaper heard about it,” Lopez reportedly said.

However, Culkin shot down Lopez’s claim on Monday. “I have had no contact with this woman in any capacity, social or otherwise before or since that picture was taken. Any reports to the contrary are false,” he said.

The movie with a provocative poster showing Natalie Portman and Ashton Kutcher getting out of bed and getting dressed, No Strings Attached, grossed $20.3 million dollars in its inaugural weekend.

The idea of Ashton Kutcher and Natalie Portman as friends who fire up a casual sex fling seemed attracted cinemagoers. Part of the film’s success might have been the fact that it was the only wide-opening new arrival, beating out last week’s number one The Green Hornet.

The movie is about a guy and a girl trying to keep their relationship strictly physical, but it’s not long before they learn that they want something more. It was directed by Ivan Reitman.

Hilary Duff

Duff, 23, quickly shot down speculations that she is pregnant with her first baby, telling Access Hollywood‘s Billy Bush in a text message Wednesday that Star magazine’s latest blunder, is just that, a blunder. “Nope, not pregs!” Duff said in her message. “Maybe I should start wearing some tighter clothes lol,” said the “Lizzie Maguire” star, suggesting that the rumor may have started due to her clothing style. The rumor about Duff’s pregnancy started circulating earlier this week after Star Magazine, quoting a “close friend” of the singer-actress, claimed that the recently married star was several weeks along.

The rumor also came about a week after Duff said in a Usmagazine interview that she and her Hockey pro husband are looking forward to having kids. “Yeah, I think we’re really excited to have kids,” Duff was quoted as saying at the Kentucky Derby Prelude Party last week. To kill the rumor once and for all, Duff also took to Twitter to clarify everything. “Wow what a way to wake up and find out your pregs! It’s just a rumor guys! Not true. But thanks for all the good wishes! Lol,” she wrote.

Anne Hathaway

Warner Bros. confirmed the casting news on Wednesday in a statement, which also revealed the roles that Hathaway and Hardy will bring to life. According to Access Hollywood, the 28-year-old Hathaway will play Selina Kyle, the alter-ego of the comic book villain Catwoman. It is, however, unclear if Hathaway will actually appear as Catwoman or just Selina. “I am thrilled to have the opportunity to work with Anne Hathaway, who will be a fantastic addition to our ensemble as we complete our story,” Nolan told Access Hollywood.

Hardy, on the other hand, has been tapped to play Batman nemesis Bane. In the comic book version, it was Bane who broke Batman’s back in one encounter, causing Bruce Wayne to end up crippled and wheelchair-bound. Nolan said he was excited to work again with Hardy, with whom the director worked with in last year’s “Inception.” “I am…excited to watch him bring to life our new interpretation of one of Batman’s most formidable enemies,” Nolan said of Hardy.
