Welcome to December!

Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck (Bennifer v.2) had a baby girl last night in Los Angeles. A baby girl named Violet. Aww. Violet Affleck. That sounds kind of silly. Apple Affleck would've had more of a ring to it, to be honest. Violet Affleck looks eerily like both Ashton Kutcher and Jennifer Lopez, doesn't she? Sweet.

Mary-Kate Olsen, who's been lookin' good of late, is giving away clothes from a darker time in her life. She donated them to Out of the Closet, a West Hollywood thrift store that benefits AIDS research. She has, instead, taken to wearing cloth garbage bags. Yay! We <3 MK.

Yes, Paris Hilton is engaged -- again. This has led me to wonder whether she's really trying to show Nicole up or what. 'Cause Paris seems pretty damn desperate to get hitched. According to Digital Spy: "People have commented that it has all happened quickly but they have known one another for ages so they don’t feel it’s that much of a big deal," said a source close to Paris. "They are completely smitten." Just nod your head and smile and start the timer. When it goes "Pop!", they're done.

It's gonna be a Laguna feud at VH1's "Big in '05 Awards." Lindsay Lohan, Kristin Cavallari and Lauren Conrad are all gonna be there. I can't wait to see the scratch marks. What's more is that both Kristin and Lindsay are up for "Big It Girl" of the year. I'd love to see Lohan's face if Kristin were to win ... It airs on December 8th at 8/7c.

And ... Christina Aguilera is thinking of changing her real name (as opposed to her ... real-cum-stage name) to ... Maria Bratman. Oh boy.
