The new class of “Dancing With the Stars” contestants is gearing up for a fierce season of competition, and they’ve just been paired with their pro dancing partners.

The official pairings are:
David Arquette and Kym Johnson
Ricki Lake and Derek Hough
Carson Kressley and Anna Trebunskaya
Hope Solo and Maksim Chmerkovskiy
Chaz Bono and Lacey Schwimmer
Nancy Grace and Tristan MacManus
Ron Artest and Peta Murgatroyd
He’s one of the most successful, longest-running actors in Tinseltown, and Robert Downey Jr is about to become a father again.
The “Iron Man” stud and his wife Susan Downey will welcome their first child together in February.
Susan’s aunt, Nancy Miller, told press, “I think it’s wonderful that she’s pregnant. The baby is due in February. Susan’s father, my brother, called me about three weeks ago wiht the good news. Her parents are over the moon about it.”
Ms. Miller added, “It doesn’t really matter if it’s a boy or a girl. What really matters is that the baby is healthy.”
He had a rough weekend in Cleveland, Ohio, and now Matthew Fox is facing assault charges for allegedly punching a party bus driver.
Heather Borman filed the paperwork yesterday against the “Lost” star, and told press that Fox was inebriated when he attempted to board her party bus.
She explained, "He smelled like a liquor cabinet, like a bar. I told him, 'Sorry, buddy, this is a private party. You get off my vehicle.' I told him three times."
"(Fox) leaned in and started punching my crotch and breast. I took one hand to his jaw and he was spitting blood. He stumbled backwards. This was my self-defense. This was the only way I could protect myself... from a man beating up on a woman."
Making her way to work, Leighton Meester was spotted arriving on the set of “Gossip Girl” yesterday (August 30).
The CW cutie smiled from ear to ear as she strolled out of her trailer in a retro-style dress teamed with a pair of comfy-looking UGG boots.
When asked about her preference of cosmetics, Leighton told press she’s a big fan of the “less is more” approach.
She explained, “My makeup bag is so minimal it’s embarrassing. I like L’Oreal mascara, I like eyelash curlers, and I like a little bit of tinted moisturizer.”
"One of the best makeup tips I've ever gotten is to take off all your makeup because I'm generally really bad at that. That's really saved my skin. But besides that I think just really being hydrated and being healthy. I think whatever's on the inside shows on the outside, so it's not as much about makeup as it is your health."
Making the most of the gorgeous weather, Katherine Heiglwas spotted doing a photo shoot in Malibu, California yesterday (August 30).
The former “Grey’s Anatomy” gal pranced along the beach as she posed for the photographer while her husband Josh Kelley, daughter Naleigh, and Katherine’s mom watched from a distance.
In career news, Ms. Heigl is rumored to be attached to a remake of the 1984 Robert Zemeckis film “Romancing the Stone.”
Gerard Butler and Taylor Kitsch are also said to be on board for the gig, though nothing has been made official just yet.
She’s always up for a good time, and yesterday (August 30) Tyra Banks was spotted having a blast at Walt Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
The “America’s Next Top Model” babe smiled brightly as she posed with Minnie Mouse while sporting a stylish new Disney couture mouse ear hat at the Lake Buena Vista, Florida locale.
And it seems Tyra was inspired to lose 30 pounds after some less-than-flattering pictures of her on holiday in Mexico surfaced last month.
An insider told press, “Tara did 30 minutes of high intensity cardio – running, circuit training and spinning – and weights every day. She also mixed in yoga, Pilates and boxing. Watching TV in the evening, she’d do 20 push-ups, 50 crunches and maybe some squats. By early August her measurements were about 38-26-39 – perfect for her frame.”
It’s sure to be one of the most-talked-about films of the whole Venice Film Festival, and earlier today (August 31) the cast of “The Ides of March” made their arrival in the beautiful Italian city.
George Clooney, Marisa Tomei, Evan Rachel Wood, Paul Giamatti, and Phillip Seymour Hoffman all smiled for the cameras outside the Hotel Excelsior ahead of their movie’s premiere.
“The Ides of March” follows an aide to a Democratic presidential candidate and shows how dispensable moral convictions and ideals can be.
Clooney & Co. will kick off the 68th Venice Film Festival today, which will include the hottest up-and-coming films from all over the world.
Kicking off another work day, Minka Kelly was spotted on the set of her brand new ABC television program “Charlie’s Angels” yesterday (August 30).
The “Friday Night Lights” babe looked to be in good spirits as she filmed scenes with her co-stars Annie Ilonzeh and Rachel Taylor.
And it sounds like Minka just got a hunky new addition to her show- Isaiah Mustafa (Old Spice guy) will play Ray Goodson, a Miami PD detective.
Given her recent breakup with Derek Jeter, it’s good that Ms. Kelly has such a positive career to help distract her from feeling down.
She certainly knows how to make an entrance, and Beyonce Knowles had all eyes on her at the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards tonight (August 28).
The “Crazy in Love” songstress brought her fashion A-game as she posed inside the Nokia Theatre LA Live to prepare for her big performance, but the BIG news is the confirmation that she's expecting her first child with Jay-Z!
Quite the exciting time for Beyonce, the gorgeous singer's baby news comes shortly after she released her music video for “1+1” from her latest album 4.
Additionally, coming up on October 8th, Knowles will join in via satellite for the Michael Jackson tribute concert at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, Wales.

Having made their love for one another official on Saturday (August 27), Sofia Coppola and Thomas Mars' wedding day pictures offer a glimpse of the newlyweds partaking in their cherishing moment.
The couple tied the knot at the historic Palazzo Margherita in Bernalda, Italy, with the "Lost In Translation" director looking stunning in a lavender Azzedine Alaia gown while being walked down the aisle by her famous father, Francis Ford Coppola.
As for the ceremony, it was officiated by Bernalda's mayor, Leonardo Chiruzzi, who told press after the festivities, "Everything went well. It was simple, calm, in the garden."
Just one day prior to exchanging vows, Sofia and Thomas were all about relaxation - as they spent the afternoon lounging on the sandy Italian beaches with their darling daughters, Romy, 4½, and Cosima, 15 months.
Making the most of her time in Italy, Bar Refaeli was spotted sunning herself in a stunning blue bikini yesterday afternoon (August 28).
The Israeli supermodel pranced around the Kauris III luxury yacht off the coast of Portofino while eager paparazzi snapped up pictures.
Bar bathed in the sea and played volleyball along with some friends who had come along for the ride (and the view!).
During her Mediterranean tour, Ms. Refaeli has been keeping her Twitter followers up-to-date on her festivities, including “belly dancing in Greece or at least trying to.”
She's one of the many east coasters dealing with the effects of Hurricane Irene, and Bethenny Frankel seemingly let the major storm system get the best of her.
Unable to sleep through the nasty conditions, the Skinnygirl mogul began her Twitter tear at 3AM by writing, "I can't sleep. So nervous. The wind is so loud outside.what's the update?tv will wake everyone."
An hour later, Miss Frankel disregarded her sleeping husband and baby, as she continued, "I can't believe how scary this is.now watching the news with my jaw dropped.more&more evacuations&more state of emergencies. Brace yourselves NEW YORK.Irene is on her way now."
The "Bethenny Ever After" star's anxiety reached its peak at around 7:30AM, as she tweeted, "We just lost electricity.this b**ch is coming.jason is oblivious.3 naps yesterday,slept all night,no prep.hurricane bethenny also here."
In the following hours, Bethenny posted a series of photos including one of herself looking quite unkempt along with numerous shots from her home and neighborhood, with her latest message reading, "I wanted to wash&dry my hair yesterday &jason thought I was nuts.now the new hairstyle is hurricane bethenny.jen aniston is so jealous."
Along with Frankel, numerous fellow celebs were active on Twitter while sending well-wishes and personal experiences via Twitter. A few of the many postings are as follows:
Ivanka Trump Majors wind and big waves in Watch Hill, Rhode Island. How are you faring through #Irene? Be safe! #hurricane
Nick Jonas So much hype about #Irene will be interesting to see this all plays out. Everyone stay safe.
Kourtney Kardashian More powerful prayers for the east coast. Don't forget how powerful prayer can be!
Adam Lambert East coasters: stay safe and smart while this storm rolls in. :) in my thoughts.
Getting down to work on his new project, Henry Cavill was spotted in full Superman garb in Plano, Illinois yesterday (August 30).
The “Red Riding Hood” stud looked ripped in his skin-tight attire as he filmed scenes for “Man of Steel” while fans and paparazzi looked on.
“Man of Steel” isn’t set to hit theaters until June 14th, 2013, but there’s already plenty of buzz about the project.
In addition to Henry, the flick stars big names like Amy Adams, Diane Lane, Kevin Costner, Russell Crowe, and Laurence Fishburne.
