Times Square may not be the most romantic place on earth, but the apex of New York City is ripe for reunions.

When it was announced that Sienna Miller and Jude Law would be taking the title roles of After Miss Julie and Hamlet on Broadway at the same time, gossip lovers (and haters) gasped. Who can forget all the drama the exes caused during their tumultuous on-again, off-again relationship from 2004 to 2006?

Well, as should come as no surprise to anyone, rumors have begun that the blonde beauty is over Balty, the baby daddy is over babies and the two of them have become romantically entangled yet again.

"Sienna and Jude have met up a few times and got on really well," a source tells the U.K.'s OK! magazine, which even says a spokesperson confirmed the face time to them.

Hmmm.

Could the intoxicating scent of the stage really be enough to have these hotties sniffing each other out yet again? Maybe that's why Law has yet to meet his new daughter with former fling Samantha Burke.

We just hope that doesn't happen when already-spoken-for Scarlett Johansson and Liev Schreiber team up for A View from the Bridge at the end of the year.

We've already seen so many Big Celebrity Splits this year. Can you remember them all?

Seriously, Saturday Night Live?

After waiting all night for musical guest Lady Gaga to pop up in some outrageous sketch and poke fun at the headline grabbing Kanye West (it should have been inevitable, right?), SNL decided to insert the pantsless performer into Deep House Dish, a recurring bit that never receives more than a chuckle from viewers—audience members included!

To spice things up, Lady G was joined onstage by none other than surprise superstar, Madonna and unfortunately, herein lies the problem.

The Gaga-Madonna pairup should have been epic and stolen the show from funnyman host Ryan Reynolds, but the duo simply paraded around the stage looking uncharacteristically hot in some bondage-esque get ups and engaged in a fake "who's the true Queen on Pop" smackdown. Spoiler alert? Neither of them won and they ended up using the old "Madonna kisses a girl" go-to.

Our fix? Madonna and Lady Gaga perform one of their musical superhits together, and somewhere in the mix Kanye get mocked. Just a little bit.

The hands down highlight of the show was Scarlett Johansson joining her hubby onstage—and not just because these two are rarely seen together. ScarJo revived her 2007 SNL viral video sensation as the Jersey girl in her dad's infomercials. And this time she's selling porcelain fountains.

Matthias Vriens-McGrath for GLAMOUR

With her tight tee playfully pulled down over her nether regions, you would think a bottomless Scarlett Johansson was posing for GQ instead of the November issue of Glamour.

But whatever. Rather than trying to figure out what gender is actually being targeted here, let's just keep things simple and say the girl looks great.

As for what Scarlett dishes about once they get her talking...

CoCo Channel, Dolce & Gabbana

We're not sure which of these new couture fragrance ads we like better. Or worse, as the case may be.

At first glance, both Keira Knightley and Scarlett Johansson look lovely modeling for Chanel and Dolce & Gabbana, respectively. The Pirates queen looks sly and sexy in nothing but a pair of suspenders while the Iron Man newbie looks cheeky surrounded by pale pink.

But, when we looked again, we couldn't help but feel ScarJo looks a little lost in the rosy shuffle, resembling some strange combination of Anne Hathaway and Johnny Depp in their upcoming Alice in Wonderland movie.

And, worse yet, Keira is simply not that perky, in demeanor or, ahem, stature.

Let's just say that talented Photoshopper gave her a bit more digital enhancement than a perfect complexion, and we're not talking about the versions of the ad where she is mysteriously wearing a shirt.

This has been a very first-class, A-list Comic-Con (hello, last year, with your Paris Hilton), and that's not about to change. Saturday's pretty much Iron Man 2 day here in San Diego, with Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson, Gwyneth Paltrow and Jon Favreau all scheduled to bring some noise. Oh, and Mickey Rourke. And Don Cheadle.

Will there be new footage? Pithy quips and banter? Find out as we tweet live the last big day of the pop-culture expo and the last huge panel:

•  Miley Cyrus' 20-year-old brother, Trace Cyrus, is on tour with his band, Metro Station, and doing all the kinds of things you expect the rebel Cyrus to do when he's a gazillion miles from his family: "So yeah.Beer is gross to me. Even Japanese beer. But I opened it so I must finish! Plus it's legal to drink here! So why not? Right." He's also diggin' the locals: "Japanese girls... Agh!! God must of felt very giving when making you. As my old man would say.. Can I get a amen!?"

Singer-songwriter Pete Yorn probably didn't foresee Scarlett Johansson's marriage to Ryan Reynolds when he first approached her about a duets album in 2006. At that point, her love for Tom Waits wasn't yet mocked or even made public, and she was just another curvy starlet looking to break into the music biz.

Together, Yorn (who has wooed the likes of Winona Ryder and Minnie Driver) and Johansson put down nine duets they kept to themselves until now.

With all that's happened since—a wedding and an album sales stinker—the respected crooner and the actress are releasing Break Up on Sept. 8.

"I was having a strange week of insomnia and when I finally passed out, it came to me in a dream," Yorn says in a statement. "I woke up and the whole thing was in my head, fully formed."

"It sounded like an interesting little adventure," she explains in the press release. "The idea of two people vocalizing their relationship through duets…I always thought of it as just a small project between friends…it perfectly captured where I was in my life at the time."

"Relator," the first track on the "hook-filled song cycle about a tempestuous relationship," can be heard here now.

By now, we're all aware of Megan Fox's thing—she looks all hot (sometimes with her tongue out) and says whatever sexually charged thing pops into her head.

We approve. So let's see what kind of new material she's come up for the Transformers sequel after her "I was in love with a stripper" routine from the first giant-robot movie.

First, there's Esquire, which is easy pickings for Fox. Throw some lingerie on the girl and send some male reporter to fawn over her eating a plate of barbecue, just don't expect her to use any fancy words.

"I know I'm seen as a sex object. I'm just really confident sexually and I think that sort of oozes out of my pores. It's just there. It's something I don't have to turn on," she says. "But I have no idea how to handle it. I don't want to have to be like a Scarlett Johansson—who I have nothing against—but I don't want to have to go on talk shows and pull out every SAT word I've ever learned to prove, like, 'Take me seriously, I am intelligent, I can speak.' I don't want to have to do that. I resent having to prove that I'm not a retard—but I do. And part of it is my own fault."
