• Jennifer Aniston didn't only take Gerard Butler to Mexico, she also brought along an Access Hollywood crew for her 41st B-day celebrations. She explains to Billy Bush: "These people survive on us coming down and spending money and coming here to these beautiful places. It sort of made sense to sort of say, 'Hey, let's help out Mexico.' " Take that, Angie!

• Everyone is really sad for Bradley Cooper—he only bronzed half his face for the Valentine's Day premiere.

Nancy Kerrigan not only has to deal with the tragic death of her father, but the former Olympic star now faces the prospect of her brother charged with murder.

The Massachusetts state medical examiner has concluded that 70-year-old Daniel Kerrigan died of a heart attack as a result of an attack by his son, Mark Kerrigan, following an argument in their home on Jan. 24.

And while the D.A. says that might open the door to manslaughter or murder charges, the Kerrigans are lashing out any such move.

Kids, forget what you've been told about dental hygiene: sometimes not taking care of your teeth can be a good thing.

Exhibit A: Lil Wayne. The Grammy-winning, mega-selling rapper avoided a trip to jail today thanks to some emergency grillwork.

Weezy, 27, was due to be sentenced to about a year in one of Manhattan's finest lockups, after copping to a gun charge last fall. Instead, he'll remain free for the rest of the month so he can take care of a dental problem.

Some sad news from an Oscar-winning actor.

Louis Gossett Jr., who took home the golden prize in 1982 for An Officer and a Gentleman, announced today that he's been diagnosed with the early stages of prostate cancer.

The 73-year-old claims he wants the world to know "to set an example for the large number of African-American men who are victims of this disease because of the comparatively low emphasis in our community on preventative examinations and early treatment," he told KTLA News in Los Angeles. "I want to influence them to seek, as I have, the fine medical care and early detection now available."

Here's hoping he has a speedy recovery.

Did they meet him halfway? We may never care know.

The slur-happy Perez Hilton has settled his civil suit against the Black Eyed Peas' punch-happy manager, Liborio Molina. The terms of the deal will remain confidential, though as part of the arrangement, Molina, who has already apologized for the incident, will make a donation to a charity of the gossipmonger's choice.

Hilton alleged battery and intentional infliction of emotional distress last summer after a scuffle broke out over differing opinions on the quality of the Peas' latest—and incidentally Grammy-winning—release, The E.N.D. He was seeking a minimum of $25,000 in damages.

Which will no doubt fund the placement of a lot of cartoon genitalia. So really, everyone wins.

Neither side officially commented on the settlement, though Hilton's attorney said his client was "ecstatic" with the deal.

After taking the Caped Crusader to the dark side, Christopher Nolan is looking to do the same for the Man of Steel.

The Oscar-nominated writer-director of The Dark Knight director has agreed to "mentor" development on a new Superman movie for Warner Bros., per Deadline Hollywood. Nolan will oversee the Supes reboot while he continues working with brother Jonah Nolan and David Goyer on the script for the highly anticipated third Batman flick, due out in 2012.

But can even Nolan's considerable talents save Superman from box-office kryptonite?

Between the Saints winning the Super Bowl last Sunday and Valentine's Day (the holiday, not necessarily the movie) coming up this weekend, most of us around here are in a pretty happy place.

So you really can't blame our desire to keep this feel-good momentum going by spotlighting what may just end up being the cutest frickin' film of the year—if not ever!

Yes, you may have already seen the trailer for this documentary, Babies, about the first year in the life of four tiny tykes from the four corners of the world, as it has been out for a little while. But since the official online release just landed in our laps, we can't resist putting it up anyway.

Much like expectant parents, we're anxiously awaiting the arrival of this bundle of joy April 16.

Last night was the premiere of Valentine's Day, which means just about everyone in Hollywood was out looking good. And whenever there's a large number of famous pretty people gathered in one spot, it's our job as Fashion Police to choose a favorite, an honor we're happy to give today to Jessica Biel.

Her gorgeous Oscar de la Renta gown so perfectly captured the spirit of the heartfelt holiday that we love it.

Would this saccharine look work any other time of the year? Probably not. In a non-V-Day setting, it might be considered too pink, frilly and fussy. But that's what the day of love is all about, so why not go all out!

Even better, Jess' gown serves a higher purpose than just promoting her movie: Either it'll put you in a giddy mood for the upcoming holiday or remind you that it exists and is almost here (seriously, it's this Sunday).
