Amy Adams, who you probably know as “That ‘Enchanted’ Chick,” has gotten engaged to boyfriend Darren Legallo. The two have been dating for six years. They met in an acting class.
Adams talked about the relationship with USA Today in March:
"It's really important to have someone to remind you who you are. I'll run all over but come back to him, and I know who I am."
Seems like that acting class worked out pretty well. She met her future husband and learned the skills that would eventually get her an Academy Award nomination in 2005 (for “Junebug”).
I’d like to congratulate Amy and Darren on the engagement. I’m very excited about this marriage because it could potentially break the record for bad pun headlines. I can see it already…
“Adams and Legallo Prepare For Enchanted Wedding”
“Adams Was Enchanted By Legallo’s Proposal”
“Amy Adam’s Relationship Just Got a Whole Lot More Enchanted”
“Amy Adams and Husband Spotted at Lakers Game, En-Chanting ‘DE-FENSE!!!’”
I feel like I missed my calling in life as a bad pun headline writer. Maybe this marriage will give me that second chance I’ve been waiting for. Just when I felt my dreams had slipped away, with the help of this magical woman, I’ll finally break through and achieve everything I had always wanted. It will be just like a fairytale. I’d compare it to a specific fairytale, but I can’t think of any at the moment.
Here are a couple pictures of Adams from various events… RELATED STORIES

For 99.9999% of guys, the desirable part of conceiving a child with Angelina Jolie would be the conception part. Raising a child for 18 years would be like “paying your dues” for having sex with her. But Brad Pitt is not your average man, and it turns out he actually wanted to raise more kids.
That’s why the couple turned to in vitro fertilization for their newborn twins, Knox and Vivienne. According to the latest US Magazine, the couple really wanted more children, and grew impatient of waiting for nature to take its course.
An US source says:
The actress chose the procedure (which can cost around $12,000 a pop) so "she wouldn't have to deal with the stress of trying to get pregnant," the source tells Us. "She could just knock it out."
"If we're going to have 10 kids, we'd like to raise them while we're young," she told Elle U.K. last year. Brad Pitt turns 45 on December 18.
A source adds: "They were too impatient."
Did she just say “knock it out?” My lacrosse coach used to use that phrase when we had to do drills at the end of practice. "Five more Star Drills and we can all go home. Let’s knock it out, fellas!”
Anyway, if these two want to have 100 in vitro kids, God bless ‘em. No kid could possibly be born into a better situation than having Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt as parents. And can we talk about Vivienne Pitt? She’s gonna be the hottest chick ever. Literally, ever. You think this Hannah Montana stuff is out of control? Wait til Vivienne hits her teen years. You know how people camp out all night for Nintendo Wii’s and iPhones? Guys will start camping out on Vivienne’s 10th birthday just to get a crack at her once she turns eighteen. If she marries anything less than a prince it will be a disappointment.

As you probably know by now, Christian Bale has had a bittersweet week. Right after The Dark Knight had the biggest opening weekend in movie history, Bale was forced to go to a London police station for questioning in a verbal assault case involving his mother and sister.
Bale’s people issued a statement earlier today asking for everyone to respect his privacy during this difficult time. Hahaha, that’s funny Christian. Anyway, it is now being reported that the fight started because Bale’s sister Sharon asked the actor for $200,000.
The Sun reports that Sharon’s request for money led to an argument…
A source close to the case said:
Christian is a very wealthy young man and was asked to help his sister out financially.
He was asked to loan her 100,000 [pounds] but he refused and that caused an almighty row.
During that row, the women claim, he assaulted them by pushing and shoving them. Both Jenny and Sharon are terribly upset over what happened.
They did not want any publicity and the last thing they wanted to do was wreck his premiere evening. But they say he bullied them.
They are both devastated that it has come to this but want him to be taught a lesson."
Did you know Bale’s mother is a clown? Like, a real circus clown. I just found that out, and it’s pretty hilarious. I didn’t even know clowns still exist. But Sharon works as a computer programmer, so I’m not sure why she’s strapped for cash. Computer programmers make a pretty decent income.
Still, I was reading this one book, and it talked about how all Christians should be generous and share the wealth with those less fortunate. This book talked about giving, about being a “Good Samaritan,” and how all Christians have a responsibility to help their fellow humans. Christian Bale is maybe the most famous Christian I can think of, besides maybe Christian Slater, so he more than anyone should be practicing these lessons. I don’t know. Maybe I’m wrong. You should check out this book, see if you agree. It’s a good book. It’s called “Season of Passion,” by Danielle Steel. Give it a read, it’s great. RELATED STORIES
The other day, Amy Winehouse’s husband was sentenced to 27 months in prison. But it’s not all bad news for Winehouse, because a museum in London decided to make a wax statue of her! Getting a wax statue of yourself cancels out having your husband go to prison for two years, right? I think I learned that in Sociology class.
Amy couldn’t be there for the unveiling (crack doesn’t smoke itself), but her parents Mitch and Janis did show up. Check out their expressions in the pictures below. A picture usually says a thousand words, but in this case it just says 6: “Can we raise this thing instead?”
Mitch joked around with reporters at the unveiling:
It’s great. We just said we’re going to take this one home with us and send the real one back."
That was followed by ten seconds of awkward laughter, then mama Winehouse whispering “no, really” under her breath. Mitch’s quote is a joke in the same way guys “joke” about having a threesome with their girlfriend. “Haha, yeah baby, of course I’m kidding, you know you’re my everything.” What’s sad is that this wax statue is superior to Amy Winehouse in virtually every way. It looks better, it’s much better behaved, its parents love it more, and it only has 1 less hit single. I don’t know about you guys, but I can’t wait to hear the new Wax Amy Winehouse CD.

In what is surely the most awesome story of the day, rapper 50 Cent is suing Taco Bell for using his name in a new advertising campaign without permission.
The Taco Bell ads -- all of which unfortunately are print ads instead of commercials or mix tapes -- request that 50 change his name to 79 Cent, 89 Cent or 99 Cent. Those are the prices of Taco Bell’s Cinnamon Twists, Crunchy Tacos and Bean Burritos, respectively.
From MSN.com:
The rapper's court papers say the ad is part of Taco Bell's "Why Pay More?" campaign, which promotes items for under a dollar. The papers say the Irvine, Calif.-based company sent a bogus letter requesting the name change to the news media but not to the rapper.
The rapper's lawyer, Peter D. Raymond, said his client didn't learn about the letter or that he was featured in the ad campaign until he saw a news report about it. Raymond said his client is seeking $4 million in damages.
Taco Bell Corp. spokesman Rob Poetsch issued a statement saying: "We made a good faith, charitable offer to 50 Cent to change his name to either 79, 89 or 99 Cent for one day by rapping his order at a Taco Bell, and we would have been very pleased to make the $10,000 donation to the charity of his choice."
In 2007, 50 Cent sued an Internet company for posting an ad that encouraged viewers to shoot at a digital image of the rapper. I remember that case, and I can’t believe an Internet company would try something like that. 50 has said a million times that he doesn’t support digital violence, only actual violence. “Shoot thugs, not banner ads” I believe was his slogan.
As for this case, 50 certainly has a valid point. Donating $10,000 to a charity is simply not enough for using the rapper’s name without permission. 50 Cent gets millions for endorsements. Vitamin Water has earned him something like $100 million and all he had to do was shoot a couple commercials, design one flavor and pretend like he’s involved in company operations. Taco Bell needs to pony up some cash. I think the solution is pretty obvious: 50 is asking for $4 million in damages. Chalupas cost about two bucks, so Taco Bell should have to give him 2 million Chalupas. It works out for Taco Bell, because they make those things for pennies. And it works out for 50 Cent, because Chalupa’s are delicious. It’s a win-win. Really, what’s holding up this deal?
Earlier today, a spokesperson for Taco Bell gave me some exclusive info on the case. He said, “Taco Bell was clearly in the wrong and I think you’re going to see the company offer 50 Cent a pretty hefty settlement.” I told the guy, “Hey, I just ordered a soft taco, I don’t really want to hear your insight on legal cases. And don’t forget my hot sauce!” RELATED STORIES
Ethan Hawke has a new baby girl. I don’t mean that in an R&B sort of way, like, “what’s up baby girl?,” I mean his wife gave birth to a daughter.
Clementine Jane Hawke was born in New York City last Friday, but somehow Hawke and wife Ryan managed to keep it quiet until yesterday. From Star:
News of the birth — 5 days ago! — was not released until after Star questioned Ethan's reps today. Ethan was spotted visiting the baby in New York University Hospital this morning."
You wanna know how he kept it so quiet? The paparazzi were all following around Mark McGrath, thinking that he was Ethan Hawke. Seriously, the dudes look exactly alike. If this acting thing doesn’t work out, I think Hawke has a fine career ahead of him as part of a Sugar Ray tribute show in Vegas.
Here’s what I want to do: First we give Hawke’s wife a gun. Then we make Hawke and McGrath fight on top of a building. Hawke’s wife runs up the stairs, but when she reaches the top of the building, she can’t tell who is who. Hawke yells, “Honey, it’s me!” Then McGrath responds, “It’s a trick, I’m your real husband!” Then she has to shoot one of them. Will she make the right choice? Nobody knows. Sure this could end tragically, but I know I’d be entertained. Oh, and whoever survives has to raise the child. We can’t jeopardize the kid’s future for this game. That would be irresponsible.
