Slumdog Millionaire stars Freida Pinto and Dev Patel wear complementary purple hues as they walk through London on Tuesday (October 20).

Dev, 19, held hands with Freida, 25, as they walked together. They’ve been spotted in public being more affectionate recently after post-Slumdog speculation ran rampant about their relationship.

Both stars will have movies out next year - Freida recently finished shooting a still untitled Woody Allen movie, while Dev will appear as Zuko in The Last Airbender, directed by M. Night Shyamalan.

Kristen Bell gets glam for the November issue of Women’s Health Magazine.

The 29-year-old actress talked relationships, Rock of Love and relaxing at home. Here’s what the Veronica Mars vixen shared:

On working with BF Dax Shepard on the set of When In Rome: “We were trying to one-up each other…That’s what we do at home, too. It’s like, ‘Wait - watch me do this funny bit.’ ‘No, watch me do this funny bit!’”

On her relationship with Dax: “I’ve learned the necessity for healthy communication. How important it is to talk about your deepest, darkest fears and feelings. Your partner should hear your most embarrassing insecurities, because once you say them out loud, you’ve created a safe zone.”

On Rock of Love: It’s “a hot mess of embarrassment that you want to lie in forever.”

On spending nights at home: “There is almost nothing, barring a natural disaster, that I would let eat into my time at home, playing Scrabble with Dax or talking to my girlfriends. There’s packing your day and then there’s jam-packing your day, and I won’t do it anymore. I need to decompress. I need to feel like I’m a person - a human being - first.”

She recently told the Vancouver Sun, “I have no desire to make a big studio picture that says nothing. For me, it’s all about script.

Glee stars Matthew Morrison, Lea Michele and Cory Monteith take the latest October 30th cover of Entertainment Weekly, on stands Friday. What a fun cover, congrats to the cast!

Tony nominee Jonathan Groff – Lea's costar from Broadway's Spring Awakening – was recently cast as the lead singer of Vocal Adrenaline, the reigning glee-club champs who performed "Rehab" in the pilot.

"He is a male diva – a miva," says creator Ryan Murphy of the character, who will try to woo Rachel.

The cast is already feeling the effects of Glee mania. “I was at Disneyland yesterday – big mistake," says Chris Colfer, who plays gay fashionista Kurt. "I might as well have walked around with a target on my shirt, because those are our fans. I stopped and took pictures probably 40 times in between rides. This one lady got a picture of me on the Tower of Terror and had me sign it."

January Jones holds onto a copy of “Crime and Punishment” while sprawled out on a poolside lawn chair in this new outtake from the November 2009 issue of GQ magazine.

The 31-year-old Mad Men actress spoke to GQ about her South Dakota upbringing (she used to have a Fargo accent), what’s on her iPod (Muse and Mos Def), beer pong and being Betty Draper.

“I don’t have a lot in common with Betty," January says, “but I’m very protective of her. I just feel like she’s trying really hard to make her life good, and make her marriage work, and it just seems hypocritical that when she slips up, people get mad. Because Don does it all the f—ing time.”

Gisele Bundchen and Tom Brady are expecting a baby girl, Life & Style reports.

The supermodel, 29, and New England Patriots quarterback, 32, married in February and are expecting a daughter in December.

A Life & Style insider reports that although Gisele wanted to decorate the nursery in pastel pinks, they’ll opt for a nautical theme instead with cream and seafoam green.

"There's going to be a room off the side of the nursery where the nanny will sleep. And they're using a crib that's been in Gisele’s family for four generations.

“Her grandmother slept in this crib, her mom slept in this crib, Gisele slept in this crib, and now Gisele's daughter will sleep in this crib. It's beautiful solid oak."

“She’s always wanted a big family,” the insider says, “and she’s excited to get started.”

Congratulations to the happy couple!

Angelina Jolie is in talks to star in the new drama Gucci, to be directed by Ridley Scott.

According to Variety, the film, set to start shooting next year, is about a famous fashion family stricken by scandal and murder as Angie’s character’s plots to kill her ex-husband, Maurizio Gucci.

No word on who may play Maurizio - Ridley Scott has approached Leonardo DiCaprio about the part, but Leo’s not attached to the film at this time.

As soon as a deal is stuck, Angie will star in The Tourist - production will likely take place in early 2010 before Gucci filming begins.

JJ: What does Gabrielle's Angel Foundation mean to you?

BR: I love working with charities and cancer is one of the things that touches my heart the most. Cancer research is really important, because one day we’re going to look back and say, “I wish we had that cure back then.” As soon we find it, it’ll be better.

JJ: Have any friends or family members of yours been affected by cancer?

BR: My best friend died two weeks ago. Horrible. I don’t know the name of cancer that he had in English, but it’s very rare and he had it for eight years. He was very brave - he was only 24. Very sad.

JJ: Are you in NYC for anything else?

BR: Yes, I’m working tomorrow, shooting for Garnier.

JJ: I love your commercial, by the way.

BR: Thank you! (laughs) And I just had a work lunch, and got a few jobs. I’ve been off all summer, so it’s about time!

JJ: How did you spend your summer? Did you travel?

BR: I was mostly in Israel. I loved it. Finally! I just chilled with my friends and family on the beach, in the sun and I haven’t had that for so long. I love that. It’s my favorite thing to do.

Here’s what Blake shared before being twirled around on the dance floor by Penn during Marvin Gaye’s “Distant Lover”:

JJ: I take it you’ve been nursing Penn back to health after he had his wisdom tooth extracted…

BL: He’s a strong man - he’s doing well. (laughs)

JJ: Did you like his Men’s Health cover?

BL: He always looks extremely handsome. Always!

JJ: What does Gabrielle's Angel Foundation mean to you?

BL: Cancer research in general is so important. My grandfather had cancer. Also, I’m very close with [jewelry designer] Lorraine Schwartz and this is close to her for personal reasons. So, I wanted to be out here to support her tonight. She got me off work, so I’m very excited!

Kendra Wilkinson sat down with In Touch Weekly and talked about her final two months of pregnancy and how excited she is for Henry Baskett IV to arrive.

Here’s what the 24-year-old former Playboy model had to say about mommyhood…

On how much weight she’s gained: “I have gained 40 pounds. I still have a month-and-a-half to go. I was 110 or 115 and now weigh 150.”

On her cravings: “Even though I don't usually eat much meat, I've been eating a lot of ribs with barbecue sauce and steak. Also, my craving for chocolate came back. I never ate it before because it gave me migraines.”

On what kind of dad Hank will be: “The best role model in the whole world! I am so happy we're having a boy first because I am excited to see the relationship between little Hank and Hank. I want him to be himself, but also have the same characteristics as Hank.”

On how pregnancy has affected her sex life: “Yes, it's changed our sex life — for the worse [laughs]. I am a wild girl in bed and I can't really be that wild anymore because I have limits now. I have 40 extra pounds in my belly, so I get tired easily. But no, of course, it's still great. I have a great man in bed, he definitely knows how to please me. But, yeah, we'll be better after when we have more energy!”

Nicole Richie, Joel Madden and their 21-month-old daughter Harlow show off their new son on the latest cover of People — Sparrow James Midnight Madden!

“I couldn’t be happier,” Nicole says, six weeks after welcoming her first son. “The only thing you want is for your kids to be healthy and happy, and they are. I’m right where I belong.”

“I’m glad I had a girl before I had a boy,” Nic adds. “She just loves him so much.”

Joel has said, “Being a father is nothing you can plan for. You’ve got to take it one day at a time, and there’s no manual or anything like that. It’s not a conscious change; it just happens to you all of a sudden. We had Harlow, and suddenly our priorities changed. We’ve both done a lot in our lives, had a lot of fun, but now it’s time to be parents, which is a different kind of fun. The priority is our daughter and the kind of family we build around her.”

FYI: Nicole is wearing an Jennifer Meyer Jewelry Gold and Diamond Letter Necklace.
