The Hayek ladies shop up a storm
Be My Valentina

Here are a couple superadorable pics of Salma Hayek‘s baby daughter Valentina Paloma (Spanish for dove) who was snapped doing a bit of shopping with her moms in Beverly Hills, CA this week … I cannot even believe that the little girl is already 10 months old:

She is such a cutie … and she is so much bigger than the last time we saw her back in November. She is going to look just like her mother … you can already see the same facial similarities. She’s an absolute doll … hopefully we’ll get to see more of the little Palomita out and about.

Kelly Taylor grows up
Meet The New Guidance Counselor At West Bev High

Earlier this week I posted individual photos (and one group shot) of the principal cast of the new CW series 90210 and I lamented the fact that none of the alums from Beverly Hills, 90210 (who will be appearing on the show) were included in any of the pics posted … but at last the first promo pic of Jennie Garth (who plays Kelly Taylor) has been released:

As y’all know by now, Jennie reprises her role as Kelly Taylor on 90210 … her character has grown-up to become the guidance counselor at West Beverly High, her former faux alma mater. I’ve yet to find any promo pics of either Tori Spelling (as Donna Martin) or Shannen Doherty (as Brenda Walsh) but this pic of Jennie is very nice … she looks amazing! After the jump, check out a different group shot of the new gang at West Beverly High sitting for a photo on the grounds of the actual school (Torrance High) that is used as the fictional West Bev High

Three cheers!
Heather Matarazzo Is Gettin’ Hitched

Woot! I am very happy to report that Heather Matarazzo, best known for her role as Dawn in Welcome to the Dollhouse but more recently from her films The Princess Diaries and Hostel II, has gotten herself engaged to be married to her longtime girlfriend Carolyn Murphy. Please join me in wishing these two lovely ladies much congrats and love at this amazing news:

25-year-old actress Heather Matarazzo is officially engaged to musician Carolyn Murphy, Matarazzo’s publicist announced today. Lisa Jammal told E! News that Matarazzo “is engaged to Carolyn Murphy. They’ve been together for over a year.” It was “love at first sight,” according to Jammal. They both proposed to each other, “It was really cute. First Heather proposed to Carolyn, then Carolyn proposed to her.” The two are very supportive of each other and totally in love, Jammal added. No date for the wedding has been announced.

I have been a huge fan of Heather‘s for years and was very fortunate to be able to do a short interview with her for Hostel II last year. I was able to meet Carolyn when she accompanied Heather to the 40th Anniversary party for The Advocate magazine last September — they were such an adorable couple then, I’m not surprised that they popped the question to each other ;) Much congrats to both Heather and Carolyn and I wish them a long and happy life together.

People.com announces the day/time of first photo release
Hark! The Brangelina Twins Are Coming!

Set your clocks and calendars, y’all … People.com has announced that they will release the first official photo of Vivienne Marcheline and Knox Leon, better known as the Brangelina twins, online this Sunday evening at 7pm ET:

I guess the rumors that People magazine shelled out the big bucks for the first photos of the twins are true … and I understand that the kids were photographed last week and the publication rights will be split between People in the US and Hello magazine in Europe. Where will you be come 7pm ET this Sunday night?
