Celebrity News & Gossip

Law & Order star Chris Noth has announced his engagement to girlfriend Tara Lynn Wilson less than a month after denying their impending nuptials. Entertainment Tonight Canada made the announcement this weekend, but after the brouhaha over September’s rumors (”I have not said I am engaged. Until I do it’s all BS,” Noth told Gossip Cop), confirmation was definitely necessary. Whether Mr. Big was fibbing about his relationship status last month or if the gossip mill was indeed getting ahead of itself, we’re just glad things worked out.

Noth and Wilson, together for over seven years, had a son, Orion, in January 2008. Check out the adorable couple in the gallery below.

We’re well aware that since the second Sex and the City film started shooting last week, we’ve all gone bananas again for Carrie and co. Whether it’s mobbing the SATC stars in the street or freaking out about an 80’s flashback hairdo, we’re all obsessed with what the ladies are up to (whether we really want to see this movie or not). And it seems they are too. Britain’s Grazia magazine has reported that not only is Sarah Jessica Parker determined to dress like a fashion freak, she’s also concerned with looking young, way beyond the usual skin-and-fitness-regimens.

“She wants to make sure she gets all the help she needs to look young and fresh. She’s consulted hair guru John Freida [and stylist Serge Normant]. Between them they’ve come up with the perfect anti-aging hair shade,” it reports.

WTF? As far as we can tell, “anti-aging” hair  means it’s not permed and not gray. Even juicier, it seems weight concerns aren’t only limited to the ladies (about time too), as reportedly Chris Noth was instructed to lose 14 pounds at a Brazilian detox spa before filming started. “Both Chris and Steve [Eisenberg] were given personal trainers before shooting began…it’s believed [Chris] has only lost 5lb so far,” claims a source.

Oh happy madness. And there’s months left before the film comes out next May - hurrah! [Photo: Splash News Online]

For all those people who didn’t think a Sex and the City movie sequel was necessary, there are the mobs of fans that exist to offer up a dissenting opinion. In fact, the fans who have been crashing the set of the movie, currently filming in Manhattan, have gotten so numerous that extra security detail had to be added to the film set to ward them off.

One witness to the madness said of the added bodyguards “They looked more like they were protecting the President than Sarah Jessica Parker.” Apparently though, the security was a bit too rough with the onlookers and both SJP and co-star Chris Noth asked them to take it easy on the fans. Could the SATC set be our generation’s Altamont, the famed 1969 concert where the Hells Angels served as security and killed a fan? It wouldn’t surprise us — people are crazy for Carrie.

In 1990, Whoopi Goldberg won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for Ghost. NBC’s Law & Order made its series debut that same year, starring then-unknown actor Chris Noth—who has since appeared on Sex & The City and Law & Order: Criminal Intent.

Both stars were born on November 13th. Which one is older? Find the answer after the jump.
