-According to Star magazine (so take it with a giant salt lick), David Duchovny is hooking up with Minnie Driver, who played his love interest in Return To Me. Not exactly the hookup X Files fans were hoping for, but at least we now know that he’s not opposed to dating former costars. Baby steps?
-This is a really, really weird cover for Anne Hathaway. I’ve looked at it for 5 minutes straight and I still can’t decide what I think. The super-young look, the styling, the pose. I guess I…like it?
–Jessica Simpson is in for an awkward holiday season. She reportedly skipped her nephew’s birthday party because she didn’t want to run into her dad.
