Heroes star Ali Larter won’t reveal the identity of her boyfriend, but she sounds very smitten.

“I’m madly in love,” the 31-year-old actress and model tells InStyle Makeover’s fall issue, as reported by People. “He just brought light to my life. I feel lucky every morning when I wake up and see him.”

This mystery man better like children more than Eddie Murphy does, because Larter sees them in her future â?” after her career calms down a bit.

“I’m loving this right now,” she says of acting. “But I can’t wait for that.”

Larter, who plays Niki Sanders on NBC’s Heroes, spent many years modeling before she caught the acting bug. She claims, however, that she grew up more as a tomboy than as someone who could ever follow in the footsteps of Heidi Klum or Marisa Miller.

“I had a bowl haircut,” she says. “My face was always flushed, and I had one big tooth. I was the sweaty dirty girl, and I’d come home with one sock up, one sock down.”

Now that she’s found success, Larter says, she and her boyfriend are doing a good job staying balanced, knowing when to turn things up and when to chill out. It’s the sort of lesson Britney Spears should probably learn before it’s too late.

“Last night I was in my skintight Brian Reyes dress and Louis Vuitton heels. …Today I packed my weekend bag â?” cargos, sneakers and sweats,” she says. “And you know what? I need both. Balance is something that we all strive for, but for me it’s to make sure my life has enough downtime, plus a bit of play.”

She’s dating an older man (41-year old Nick Cokas) and pretending to be pregnant on screen - but that doesn’t mean Katharine McPhee is ready have a bun in her actual oven just yet.

“I [do] definitely want to have a baby, and it’s fun to just pretend and look in the mirror,” McPhee told Entertainment Tonight this week about wearing a fake bump to shoot House Bunny. “I think it’ll probably hold me off a bit on having a baby.

“Today is the first day I’m wearing the prosthetic belly, which wraps all the way around [to] my back, and it’s actually really comfortable,” the American Idol runner-up added.

The hopeful actress, who told People that she’s wearing Nicole Kidman’s hand-me-down bump to film the Adam Sandler comedy, also said: “I’m really enjoying it. It’s hot and sweaty though, but it’s like Method acting.”

We’re guessing Nicole Richie is wishing she could say the same thing. And so does the unborn child that will soon have this celebrity and Joel Madden as her parents.

Meanwhile, McPhee’s costar in the film, Rumer Willis, is having her own troubles with cumbersome costumes. An almost nude picture of the actress wearing just a dunce cap and silver back brace was leaked last week.

“I keep bumping into people and having to apologize to everyone,” Willis said. “It’s fun though … I’m just really grateful for the opportunity.”

Fact: Gisele Bundchen nude is very attractive.

Fiction: Gisele Bundchen will be appearing on next season’s Dancing with the Stars.

Earlier this week, we may have jumped the celebrity gossip gun when we reported than Tom Brady’s girlfriend, and a few other celebrities, were slated to appear on the latest version of this reality competition. Our bad.

Dancing Stars But we did get a majority of the names correct, including former member of The Cheetah Girls, Sabrina Bryan.

With that in mind, we now present the actual list of cast names:

â?¢ Melanie Brown
â?¢ Sabrina Bryan (The Cheetah Girls)
â?¢ Helio Castroneves (Indianapolis 500 champion, 2001, 2002)
â?¢ Mark Cuban (owner of the Dallas Mavericks)
â?¢ Jennie Garth
â?¢ Josie Maran, model
â?¢ Cameron Mathison (All My Children)
â?¢ Floyd Mayweather Jr., champion boxer
â?¢ Wayne Newton
â?¢ Marie Osmond, singer and actress
â?¢ Albert Reed, model
â?¢ Jane Seymour (Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman)

Believe it or not, Keira Knightley has named James McAvoy, her latest co-star, the best. Kisser. Ever.

Eat your heart out, Rupert Friend. Then go make Keira some dinner and eat that. Man, she’s thin.

“James McAvoy is the best kisser ever!” said a giggling Keira Knightley, 22, of her Atonement co-star.

Despite kissing the likes of Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom, Knightley - who has been dating Rupert Friend for a good while - dubbed James McAvoy the best at the Venice Film Festival.

This isn’t the first stunning revelation of its kind. Megan Fox, despite being hot (and engaged to Brian Austin Green), recently called Shia LeBouf the best kisser ever.

So there. McAvoy, 28, reciprocated the compliment saying, “I was blown away by Keira. The amount of poise and grace she has is incredible.”

If by poise and grace, he means “skin and bones,” then we couldn’t agree with you more, James. Very well put.

In Atonement, a war drama set in 1935, a possibly nude Keira Knightley plays Cecilia Tallis, an upper-class beauty whose fledgling love affair with a young housekeeper’s son (James McAvoy) is destroyed by a tragic misunderstanding.

James McAvoy - who is married to British actress Anne-Marie Duff - said he was enjoying Venice “very much,” adding, with a smile, “it’s very romantic.”

Take cover, Tinseltown: Sanjaya Malakar is on his way!

The former American Idol finalist has put a “For Sale” sign on his family’s suburban Seattle home.

Sanjaya People magazine reports that Dennis Fletcher, the realtor brokering the deal, is making no secret of the property’s resident star.

“I’ve probably spent, so far, about $2,500, $2,600,” the real estate agent said of his marketing campaign that includes Sanjaya’s autographed picture on the house flier and a Sanjaya song clip on its site listing.

So, with Malakar making his way to Hollywood, just one question remains: What the heck will he do there? We’ve got a few suggestions:

* The Dillon Panthers need a water boy on Friday Night Lights. We’re guessing they’d rather have Sanjaya than Adam Sandler.

* Jayden James needs a baby sitter. Desperately.

* Four words: High School Musical extra.

* Consider typecasting on Bionic Woman: Portray a cute cyborg who people like only because you’re Indian, have silly hair and can sort of carry a tune.

* Have sex with Lindsay Lohan.

If you’re Brody Jenner’s physical therapist, you don’t have to try hard to keep tabs on your patient and whether he’s doing as you instruct.

All you have to do is read celebrity gossip sites!

Brody’s ex-girlfriend and current pal, Lauren Conrad, revealed on The Hills after-show on MTV Overdrive this week that Jenner’s doc has been checking out TMZ to make sure the party boy has been wearing the cast on his hand.

That’s dedication! Jenner, as shown on The Hills, broke his finger back in July while playing beach football with LC, Frankie Delgado and other buds.

Brody and Lauren: PalsJen Bunney

Meanwhile, it’s common knowledge that Heidi Montag got some plastic surgery in the form of an unnecessary boob job and nose job, but The Hills rumor mill is currently abuzz with people saying her pal, Jen Bunney, followed suit.

One of the best exchanges of this season was when Heidi met up with Jen Bunney, and the first thing out of Heidi’s mouth was, “Wow, you look so different.” Clearly, this Bunney and her plastic surgeon did a little working together in the off-season.

Way to go Jen. Or is it Jenn? We have no idea.

While her new song is getting radio play and she’s setting set to perform at the VMAs, Britney Spears’ career may not be going down the toilet. But the singer herself still can stink it up in the literal sense. P-U, y’all!

That disturbing imagery aside, for the first time in almost 12 hours, the troubled star was spotted at an L.A. gas station. The strange thing? She was dressed somewhat like a human being! Who woulda thunk!

Britney Spears Stinks

  Britney Spears looks normal! Well, except for the see-through shirt and all.

The mother of Sean Preston and Jayden James Federline exited the ladies room covering her nose, possibly because of the stench, but also because there was likely a mirror in there, forcing her to get a look at her hair.

Talk about something that stinks! Wooo!

This is a worse idea than hiring Britney Spears to babysit your children.

Larry Birkhead is close to finalizing a deal that will showcase himself and daughter Dannielynn in a reality TV show.

“I don’t want to give away something yet,” Birkhead told The Daily News this week. “It’s basically the ‘day in the life of daddy duties.’

But is it really necessary, Larry? We’ve been on your site throughout this ordeal - but can’t say we approve of sticking your one-year old child in the celebrity spotlight just to make a few more bucks.

“The truth is, people came to me with pitches, and I haven’t accepted anything. It’s something they continue to talk to me about. It’s multiple networks. I’m listening to what they have to say. I turned down [”Celebrity Rap Superstar”].

That’s a shame. Who wouldn’t have wanted to see Birkhead battle it out with Perez Hilton and Jason Wahler for the honor of… best celebrity rapper?

Overall, Larry is sick of questions about the $1.7 million he received from OK! magazine for its exclusive photo shoot with him and Dannielynn. He says the media should “Let Anna rest in peace, and let me move on.”

Note to Birkhead: STARRING IN A REALITY SHOW ISN’T THE WAY TO DO THAT!

“My daughter is my focus now. I’m being a great dad,” Birkhead said. “She’s teething. She’s got about eight teeth. Everything is great with her. She chomps on me every day. All she has to worry about is her Barney video.”

And, soon enough, the boom mics that will be hanging over her every move.

In an absolutely stunning celebrity news item, Amy Winehouse was arrested for marijuana possession Thursday in Norway, police in Bergen confirm.

Authorities, acting on a tip “from a good source,” arrested the 24-year-old singer, husband Blake Fielder-Civil and a male member of her touring party at around 6 p.m. in Bergen’s Radisson SAS Hotel, a police source says.

Blake-Fielder Civil, Amy Winehouse Arrested They found .25 ounces of marijuana in the singer’s room.

The three were held for about 12 hours in separate cells, fined and then released. Winehouse and Fielder-Civil paid a 500 euro ($714) fine.

The member of her touring party, Alexander Foden, who creates hairpieces for Amy Winehouse, paid a 350 euro ($500) penalty.

“She paid the fine and she was released,” a police source was quoted as saying. She and Blake Fielder-Civil were “very cooperative. It’s over.”

The scandal-plagued singer was hospitalized back on August 8 and treated for exhaustion, the start of a roller-coaster ride of canceled commitments.

Heck, even her parents and in-laws have publicly told her to get off drugs.

All of her U.S. appearances have been postponed until 2008.

The arrest also comes after Amy Winehouse had a shaky start to her European tour October 15 in Berlin. She tripped and staggered on stage and forgot the first few lines of the cover she did of “Valerie,” by British band The Zutons.

On the fifth episode of this 11th season of The Bachelor, the incredibly hot Brad Womack had three dates with the remaining six women.

At the end of the night, after some kisses and tough decision making, he had himself a list of the final four candidates. It’s tough being The Bachelor sometimes.

After giving Hillary and Kristy the boot, Brad Womack has narrowed the field to four remaining aspiring trophy wives: Bettina, DeAnna Pappas, Jenni Croft and Sheena Stewart. All of whom stand an excellent chance, we believe.

Who will emerge on top among these four fearsome competitors? How did Brad Womack pare down the field to these lovely ladies last night? Who stands the best chance during the hometown visits? And which rejected girl had an epic meltdown after being denied a rose at the end of yesterday’s show?

Find out in this episode guide to The Bachelor.

Master illusionist David Copperfield is under the microscope of the law enforcement community after a woman accused him of sexual assault.

But why did the FBI go and raid his warehouse and seize his possessions - which included a digital camera equipment and a hard drive to a computer?

TMZ reports that Copperfield designed part of his magic shows around “a system for picking up women.”

During shows, David goes into the audience and chooses women to come on stage.

If David likes a girl, he uses code words with assistants like “mama” and “secrecy.”

The assistants then mark the women on a map of the inside of the Hollywood Theater at MGM Grand, where he frequently performs. After the show, the women are brought backstage, and that’s where his profiling begins.

The women are told that David may use them in his show when he comes to their hometown. They are then photographed with a digital camera, asked questions like, “What is your favorite men’s cologne?” and “Where do you like to vacation?”

One of those vacation spots mentioned by staff is the Bahamas, where David Copperfield’s accuser claims she was assaulted. Copperfield owns a cluster of islands in the Bahamas, which he bought for $50 million.

This may explain the FBI’s interest in David Copperfield’s digital camera system and hard drive. If the accuser is a woman who was brought on stage - and who he met in this fashion - the FBI would surely be interested.

Copperfield’s attorney re-issued his earlier statement in response to this story: “It is important these allegations be put into perspective. An unidentified woman has made serious allegations against David Copperfield. While authorities have not revealed her identity to us, we know these allegations are false because David Copperfield has never forced himself on anyone.”

It was a week that began with love (for Playboy, from a current model) and ended with hate (for a former Playboy model, ironically). Here’s a recap of some of the best celebrity quotes from the last few days…

Shanna Moakler [on Kim Kardashian]: She’s soooo f*cking fat! She’s 5?2? and she’s like 140. She was wearing a sarong to cover her huge big ass.

Selena Gomez: The Jonas Brothers are all sweet. They’re so amazing to me. They’ve become really good friends of mine, but I’m not dating any of them.

Camila Alves [on son, Levi]: Everybody thinks he looks like me because of the hair and skin tone. I think he looks more like Matthew every day.

Heidi Montag [on her clothing line, Heidiwood]: It’s selling really well. It’s one of the #1 selling celebrity clothing lines.

Vanessa Hudgens: I text Miley Cyrus a lot — we are good friends and she spent the night at my house recently. I text everybody on Earth!

Ashley Harkleroad: I was having a good time and trying to feel sexy in my own body; I think it worked. The pictures and the layout came out very classy. Playboy is a very classy operation all around.

What perfect timing for a Maria Sharapova crotch shot!

As the world talks about the photographed vagina of this tennis star, Tyra Banks plans on doing an entire talk show around the topic of… vaginas.

“I have wanted to do this show for two years,” Banks said to People magazine. “I know for a lot of women talking about what is going on in our bodies is extremely difficult, but it is incredibly important.”

We know what many women out there are thinking: guys should be the ones tuning in for this broadcast, if you know what we mean!

Banks continued: “We should be able to talk to our daughters, sisters, mothers and friends about our bodies and not be embarrassed. I hope after this show women will not be ashamed about what’s up down there.”

Nor should Tyra be ashamed for being so desperate for attention that she’d probably do a show where she dresses up like an overweight women in order to discover - gasp! - they are treated worse than someone as gorgeous as she is.

Oh. Wait. That already happened.

We’re pretty sure women already are comfortable with their vaginas, Tyra. It’s not as though Britney Spears, Paris Hilton, Tila Tequila or Mary Carey have any problems putting theirs on display for the entire world to see.

Shia LaBeouf was arrested in a Chicago drug store early Sunday morning.

Reportedly, a security guard in a downtown Walgreens repeatedly told the Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull star that he was to leave the store because he appeared intoxicated, say police.

When LaBeouf refused, the guard alerted police and the arrest took place at around 2:30 a.m, People magazine reports.

Following his arrest, LaBeouf was described by authorities as “very courteous and polite.”

And good looking, of course. The actor is very, very good looking.”
