With her mother's approval, and with the celebrity gossip world talking about her like never before, Kim Kardashian officially debuted her engagement and her fiance in Monaco last night.
The reality star and Kris Humphries attended the Amber Fashion Show at the Meridien Beach Plaza hotel in Monte Carlo yesterday, the sort of event Kris had likely never even heard of before hooking up with Kim.
As you can see, the couple were seated at table number-23. Which is appropriate. That's the number of millions this wedding special could rake in for the family.
How long do you think this union will last?

Showing off her undeniable hotness, Audrina Patridge was looking ever the sight to be seen in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico over the weekend (May 29).
The former "Hills" hottie was clad in a bright blue bikini as she sauntered about the sandy shoreline while enjoying her Memorial Day weekend getaway.
The south of the border excursion coincided with the airing of another all-new episode of "Audrina" - which aired Sunday night at 9PM on VH1, as Miss Patridge tweeted, "SET YOUR DVRs! There?s a new episode of my show tonight at 9pm on @VH1!!"
Meanwhile, Audrina's Mexican vacation hasn't gone without its woes, as she closed out the evening by tweeting, "So far I have 7 bug bites :/..... Ouch!!"

Having closed out his "Twilight: Breaking Dawn" filming duties, Robert Pattinson has immersed himself in another new role - as the English actor was hard at work on the set of "Cosmopolis" on Sunday morning (May 29).
The Edward Cullen hunk suited up and grabbed a seat alongside co-star Sarah Gadon while the pair delved into rehearsing a scene shot by the window of a cafe in Toronto, Canada.
With director David Cronenberg looking on, the cameras began to roll as Pattinson proceeded to chow down his breakfast before spitting the food up in laughter.
Also starring Paul Giamatti and Juliette Binoche, "Cosmopolis" tells the story of "a multimillionaire embarking on a 24-hour odyssey across Manhattan."

'The vibe now is a little bit more natural,' Wale tells 'RapFix Live.'

On one hand you have a British DJ/ producer/ record executive whose claim to fame is producing Amy Winehouse's 2006 classic Back to Black. On the other hand there is the Boss, Rick Ross. After switching label homes from Mark Ronson's Interscope-distributed Allido Records to Ross' Maybach Music Group, Wale broke down the differences between the two labels on Wednesday's "RapFix Live."
"I went from being around him in the studio to being around good vibes, good grass, good everything. The type of vibes that make me feel like block parties or just hanging with my friends," Wale told Sway of the change. "Not to say that Ronson ain't my friend."
In 2009, the D.C. rapper released his debut album Attention Deficit on Ronson's label. The album was well-received critically, but commercially it only sold 138,000. In February, Wale announced that he officially signed with Ross' MMG label, and on Monday, Rozay and his new signees released Self Made, the label's first compilation.
For Wale, the creative process has been much smoother. "We're in conversation and we'll start rapping about what's going on around us. The last time I was in the studio with Mark, I had to take myself somewhere, because I wasn't there," the rapper said about his motivation.
Overall, the "Chillin' " MC is just in a better creative space; culturally he and his new boss just have more in common. "I'm in my environment now. I go to Overtown with Ross; I go to King of Diamonds with Ross. I take Ross to D.C. Star. I can't take Mark Ronson to D.C. Star. I mean, I could, but it'd be awkward for everybody.
"The vibe now is a little bit more natural and it's a lot more fun for me. And I'm really in a groove where I can make the type of music I like," he said. "The energy is so good with Ross and Meek and Pucci and everybody at Maybach."
Do you see a difference between Wale's music with Ronson and his latest tracks? Let us know in the comments!

Ah, the unofficial start to summer: picnics and barbecues, soft-serve cones and the bevy of feature films for that summer afternoon or evening escape from the heat. But how do you know what’s right and what’s very wrong for the kids to watch? I bet most parents have had that moment when they realized a movie was not at all age-appropriate a little too late.
For me, it happened with Annie, which I thought would be fine for my 5- and 3-year-old, but the constantly inebriated Miss Hannigan and the scary chase scene where Annie almost falls to her death pushed me to look at the rating on the DVD case. When I saw PG-13, I thought, “This is not for my kids.”
In fact, our friends at Fandango recently conducted a poll in which 75 percent of respondents say they assume PG-13 rated movies should be suitable for their young children. At the same time, 78 percent felt that PG-rated films are featuring more adult content than ever before.
So what’s a parent to do? Common Sense Media, experts on what’s age-appropriate, gave us some insight into this season’s slate. Based on their analysis, here are a few of our recommendations:
For Kids 3- to 6-years-old
Winnie the Pooh (in theaters July 15). With a G rating, it’s great for preschoolers and promises to be a sweet one for the younger set anxious to see Pooh and his pals.
For Elementary School-Age Kids
Judy Moody and the Not Bummer Summer (pictured, above left; in theaters June 10). Rated PG-13, it is perfect for elementary schoolers and above -- especially ones who saw Ramona and Beezus last year and loved it. The kids (and parents) who are already fans of the Judy Moody books will love all the wacky hijinks in this flick.
Mr. Popper’s Penguins (in theaters June 17). Starring Jim Carrey and rated PG-13, this should be a crowd pleaser. We can expect a bit of potty humor and maybe some language of the “hell” or “damn” variety, but overall it seems appealing and harmless with all those cute penguins.
Cars 2 (in theaters June 24). Rated G, this movie promises to be a great film for all ages, from the 7-year-olds to the tweens. And yes, with the animation, it’s one that even Mom and Dad will enjoy.
For Tweens and Teens
Green Lantern (in theaters June 17). Starring Ryan Reynolds, last year’s Sexiest Man Alive in People, it’s likely to be a must-see film for comic fans and for fans of the Hollywood hunk. It is rated PG-13, so expect superhero action and violence, but not overly sexual content.
Transformers: Dark of the Moon (in theaters July 1). This movie is really best for teens, but tweens will likely want to see it too, because of the popularity of the toys and TV shows. Parents need to gauge whether their kids are ready for this one. Expect constant action mayhem; plus, hero Sam has a hot new girlfriend, so there may be some sexual situations.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 (pictured, above right; in theaters July 15). This is the last in the Potter series and promises to be action-filled -- and dark, with characters dying and beloved locations destroyed. Plus, Harry is growing up and making adult decisions. While your 7- or 10-year-old may be an enormous Harry Potter fan, it might be too much for them. This might be one to rent at home later on. If your tween insists, you should think about going with your child just in case.

Our 'Death Cab for Cutie: Seattle Sonics' series kicks off Tuesday on MTV.com, the same day Codes and Keys hits stores.
By James Montgomery
Death Cab for Cutie's Nick Harmer and Ben Gibbard

Death Cab for Cutie originally formed sometime around 1997, in the idyllic college town of Bellingham, Washington (unofficial nickname: "The City of Subdued Excitement"), but it was in a city 90 miles south where they'd really make their mark: Seattle.
Most of the band had grown up in towns surrounding the Emerald City during the height of the so-called "grunge explosion," and their teenage years progressed somewhat accordingly — Ben Gibbard, who was raised in Bremerton, would take a 55-minute ferry trip across the Puget Sound to watch bands play at the now-defunct OK Hotel in downtown Seattle — so, when they decided to make the move from Bellingham to the proverbial big city to try their hand at becoming a real rock band, well, it was sort of the stuff of dreams. Only, things didn't quite work out the way they had planned.
DCFC's early years were a struggle, marked by lousy, low-paying jobs and thinly attended gigs. When Gibbard took up residence in a tiny apartment on Corliss Avenue, working as what could charitably be described as a medical tech (he basically washed testing equipment), there were times when he thought about packing it in and heading back home. It seemed simpler than striking out as a rock frontman.
But he didn't, and slowly, people began paying attention. Released on Seattle's Barsuk Records, early efforts like We Have the Facts and We're Voting Yes (most of which was written in that apartment on Corliss) and The Photo Album were met with much acclaim, and Death Cab for Cutie were on their way. Only, in a lot of ways, they've never really left ... Seattle is, was, and probably always will be their spiritual home.
And those sentiments are readily apparent on the band's May 31 album, Codes And Keys, Codes And Keys, which is about several things, most of which seem to be about the eternal longing for home, no matter how far away from it you may be. So, in celebration of the new album, earlier this month, we asked Death Cab to show us around their adopted hometown of Seattle ... the venues they haunted as teens, the places they worked before they made it big, the studio where they recorded parts of the new album. But it's much more than a guided tour; it's also a history lesson, both in terms of the band, and the Seattle music scene too.
We're calling it "Death Cab for Cutie: Seattle Sonics," and it begins Tuesday on MTVNews.com. But as we head into the long weekend, we figured we'd give you a taste of what's to come. Click on the teaser clip featuring Gibbard and bassist Nick Harmer recalling the glory of all-ages OK Hotel shows, and the havoc parent-mandated curfews wrecked on those magical nights. Enjoy, and make sure to check back on Tuesday, when the history lesson truly begins.

'I've done archery for about six weeks, rock climbing, tree climbing and combat and running and vaulting,' star tells MTV News.

For all the "The Hunger Games" fans out there — and we're talking about those who've been onboard since reading (and likely becoming obsessed with) author Suzanne Collins' spellbinding dystopian trilogy — the news surrounding Lionsgate's big-screen adaptation has been almost as intriguing as the books themselves.
MTV News has been hot on the trail of as many details we can muster, and we were lucky enough to chat recently with the young woman who will be Katniss Everdeen, Jennifer Lawrence, about landing the coveted role.
"I was a huge fan of the books before I even really knew about the movies," Lawrence said. "I met with [director] Gary Ross, and we had a very long, nice meeting before the audition," she explained. "And then by the time the audition came around, we were familiar with each other."
Lawrence also spoke about the intense amount of training she's undergone to prepare for Katniss' intense action sequences.
"It's lots of training, but the training is actually really fun," she revealed. "I've done archery for about six weeks, rock climbing, tree climbing and combat and running and vaulting," she said. "Also yoga and things like that to stay cat-like."
The 20-year-old has also addressed the group of folks who took to the Internet to express their less-than-pleased opinions about Lawrence's casting as Katniss.
"I wasn't aware that everybody was so upset until I after I got my hair dyed, and people were like, 'Oh my gosh, blond hair can turn brown. Wow. It's a miracle,' " she joked. "So now is the only time that I'm being told that people hated me at first."

'I did such a good job shaving his head they had to mess it up more,' actor tells MTV News of Zach Galifianakis' new look.

Those crazy boys of summer are back. We're talking, of course, about Bradley Cooper, Zach Galifianakis and Ed Helms, stars of the highly anticipated "Hangover Part II." At the film's NYC premiere earlier this week, the guys told us about the "chaos" of their pre-release press blitz, and now, MTV News takes you inside the chaos of filming the "Hangover" sequel.
When talking about how the photo montages at the ends of both films were compiled, Cooper and Galifianakis ended up in a back-and-forth about Cooper's head-shaving skills.
"It runs a similar course as the filming of the movie," Cooper said when asked about when the photos for the montages were taken. "We would allocate time in the shooting day to do stills throughout the movie, so at the end, you have all the stills, but it's not like we have two days and we shoot all the stills; it's throughout the whole film."
With regard to Galifianakis' shaved head, which occurs during a scene in the film, we wanted to know if the actual clipping was performed by Cooper.
"Yeah," Cooper said. "I did a nice job."
"I mean, it's pretty easy," Galifianakis pointed out.
"It's not that easy," Cooper protested. "Your ears are very tight to your face."
"Bradley, everybody has a template. I mean, look at that picture," Galifianakis said, pointing to the film's promo poster, which features a photo of Galifianakis with a perfectly buzzed coif. "What I'm saying is, it's so easy to shave someone's head."
"I'm telling you, I did such a good job shaving his head they had to mess it up more, right? Tell them," Cooper insisted. "Tell them, Zach."
"Yes. That's true," Galifianakis said, relenting. "He did such a great job they had to mess up my hair more."
"Thank you," Cooper said, sounding pleased to receive the recognition.

Having headed back to Britain after being dismissed as an "X Factor" U.S. judge, Cheryl Cole was reportedly secluded in a secret location while speaking about her firing for the first time.
According to The Mirror, the former Girls Aloud singer was even pondering an exit from the UK version of the show - as she's been given an ultimatum by ITV bosses in regards to getting back to the her duties on the popular music competition show.
The Mirror report goes on to tell that Miss Cole opened up to a friend while asking, ?Why did Simon Cowell do this to me??
Cheryl is also said to be at a loss as to why the U.S. "X Factor" dismissal took place, saying, ?I still haven?t been given a reason."
As for the ultimatum in regards to her UK TV duties, Simon is said to have chastised Cheryl about her ruing over the failed go in the States.
Cowell reportedly told her, ?Do you want �another job on more money? It?s a simple question: Yes or No?"
An ITV insider added, "She?s been told to grow up and pick yourself up or you?ll lose the British show too. It?s tough, but we start filming the UK program on Wednesday. No one is bigger than the show, that?s what she has to realize. If �Cheryl doesn?t want to do it we?ll just go on without her. It?s very worrying that she?s �refusing to engage with us. We need a dialogue but she won?t answer the phone. Cheryl needs to call us. She needs to call home.?

Doing her best to drum up interest in her upcoming TV show, Paris Hilton closed out the week with a full day of promotional stops before heading off for a fabulous Memorial Day weekend getaway.
The hotel heiress stepped out on Friday (May 27) to attend a press event at Kitson in Los Angeles before dropping by the "Tonight Show with Jay Leno" as the evening's celebrity guest.
During her visit with Jay, Miss Hilton partook in a backstage video session before being driven onstage via motorcycle - as she recently became an owner of a motorsports racing team.
Among the "Tonight Show" topics of conversation, Paris chatted about her new mansion in Beverly Hills, as well as her new series "The World According to Paris" - which debuts on the Oxygen network on June 1st.
She also told a joke about Lindsay Lohan during the appearance, recalling a time in which a homeless lady complimented her earrings. Hilton said, "I gave them to her," before explaining that the woman then mistook her for the troubled "Mean Girls" starlet. To this, Paris said, "If I was Lindsay I'd be stealing the earrings, not giving them away."
Once finished up with the busy day of press efforts, the 30-year-old hightailed it to LAX Airport for a flight bound for New York City - where she caught a ride to meet up with the family in the Hamptons.
Of the travels, Paris happily tweeted, "On my way to The Hampton's to spend a relaxing Memorial Day weekend with my family. See you soon @KathyHilton! Love you!"

'I never got to tell him this: He taught me a lot,' groupmate Yung tearfully tells M-Bone's mourners.

On Friday (May 27), family, friends and fans paid their respects to rising hip-hop star Mante "M-Bone" Talbert of Cali Swag District at an Inglewood, California, funeral open to the public. The 22-year-old, who was born September 17, 1988, was gunned down in a drive-by shooting on May 15 in his hometown of Inglewood.
More than 2,000 people, including Talbert's grandmother, uncle and the three remaining members of Cali Swag, attended M-Bone's funeral at the Faithful Central Bible Church. Talbert, who made his mark as one-fourth of CSD, will be remembered by the hip-hop community as the group's energetic dancer. Bone was most famous for doing the Dougie, a 1980s dance that found new life thanks to the quartet's 2010 platinum hit "Teach Me How to Dougie."
CSD member Yung spoke at the funeral about his fallen friend's impact. "I never knew anybody's body can move that way before I met M-Bone," he said to the crowd while sobbing. "Since the sixth grade, me and him been dancing together, but I never got to tell him this: He taught me a lot."
While the service was no doubt emotional, as loved ones mourned the life of M-Bone, some friends, like Pee Wee of the hip-hop group the Rejectz, urged people to remember the positive aspects of his life. "We lost a great person, but it shouldn't be no tears. We should be celebrating, turning it up," he told MTV News.
After the service, M-Bone was laid to rest.
At approximately 10:30 p.m. PT on May 15, police were called to the 400 block of La Brea Avenue in Inglewood. When they arrived on the scene, they founded Talbert seated in the driver's seat of his vehicle with two gunshot wounds to the head. Witness accounts confirm that a gunman pulled up alongside M-Bone in a separate vehicle and let off at least two rounds.
MTV News reached out to the homicide division of the Inglewood Police Department early Friday and learned that there have been no arrests and there are no suspects in connection with M-Bone's murder.
The Inglewood Police Department is asking anyone with information to come forward and call its homicide division at (310) 412-5246 or its 24-hour anonymous hotline at (888) 41 CRIME, or (888) 412-7463.
Share your thoughts for M-Bone's friends and family in the comments.

For a second consecutive year on Deadline, here� are complete series rankings for the 2010-11 season in adults 18-49 and total viewers. Several interesting tidbits from the lists: NBC and ABC may be smart for holding some of their biggest series for midseason next year - the highest-rated new series this past season were both midseason shows: NBC' The Voice in adults 18-49 and ABC's Body of Proof in total viewers. Overall, it was a weak year for freshman series as The Voice was the only new show in the Top 20 among adults 18-49, at No. 4. The highest-rated new scripted series was CBS' Mike & Molly at No. 26. There were no new shows in the Top 10 most watched series, with 3 in the Top 20: Body of Proof (#14), Blue Bloods (#17) and The Voice (#20). The highest-rated series to get canceled: CBS' $#*! My Dad Says. The lowest-rated scripted series to get renewed on the Big 4 networks: ABC's Happy Endings. Also, canceled sci-fi dramas V and The Event both ranked higher than the one that was renewed, Fox's Fringe. NOTE: Glee's average (4.0/11 in 18-49) does not include the highly-rated post-Super Bowl episode. With it factored in, the dramedy averaged a 4.3/12, which would lift it to eighth place.

It wasn't quite Lady Gaga on Good Morning America, but Rihanna kick started Today‘s Toyota Concert Series this morning at Rockefeller Center in New York City.
Walking through the crowd offers great access to the fans, but also risks. This one guy got little too excited when Rihanna walked by and grabbed the singer!
Luckily, Rihanna’s back-up dancers helped pull her away and the rest of the singer's concert seemed to go off without a hitch - and with plenty of hits.
Watch her perform "What's My Name," “S&M” and "California King Bed" ...

Revving up excitement for George Clooney's latest big screen effort, "The Descendants" has released an all-new movie trailer!

Also starring Shailene Woodley, Matthew Lillard, and Judy Greer, the drama/comedy is set to hit theaters December 16th.

Grease star Jeff Conaway has died. The actor was 60 years old.
He passed away several weeks after he was found unconscious in his L.A. area home, having fallen into a coma after a reported overdose.
Doctors were not able to revive him and his family recently made the gut-wrenching, but inevitable decision to take him off life support.
Jeff's struggles became public when he appeared on Celebrity Rehab in 2008 and admitted addictions to cocaine, alcohol and painkillers.
R.I.P. Jeff Conaway (1950-2011).
Jeff passed away earlier today, his manager confirms.
Born in New York City, Conaway shot to fame in the ’70s as a quintessential cocky guy: first in the internationally successful Grease and then on the TV hit Taxi.
He will be missed.
