Naomi Watts Is Not Ready For Marriage Yet

Naomi Watts doesn't need a piece of paper to make her love for Liev Schreiber official. "We're very much together," the actress, 40, tells Parade magazine. "We just don't have that certificate, and that's OK with both of us. "

The couple, who welcomed their second son, Samuel Kai, in December and have an 18-month-old son, Alexander Pete, may one day "just wake up and go, 'Hey, let's do this," Watts says, "And maybe not. He and I have a family."

Though Schreiber, 41, gave her "a beautiful ring," Watts – who described her longtime partner as "a complicated man, which I've always been drawn towards" and "fiercely intelligent" – says they're not rushing into anything just yet.

"It's not like I've grown up having this dream of a fairy-tale wedding," she says. "My mother married twice and had two divorces. And Liev comes from the same kind of background."


While she doesn't divulge more details about their relationship, Watts opens up about her ex-boyfriend, Heath Ledger, whom she met in 2002 while making the film Ned Kelly, by noting that his eyes "would tell a thousand stories in one glance."

"It's still incredibly difficult," she says about Ledger's death in January 2008. "There was a wonderful mixture of power and fragility at work in everything he did, which just pulls you in, she adds. "His strength didn't scare you. It intrigued you. And his fragility touched you."

Rebecca Romijn Shows Off Post-Twin Body!

A month after welcoming twins, Rebecca Romijn showed off her fit body while on a walk in Calabasas, Calif. Thursday.

The new mom sported yoga pants, flip flops and a tight T-shirt for the stroll. Not spotted? Husband Jerry O'Connell or babies Dolly Rebecca Rose and Charlie Tamara Tulip.

Pal Howard Stern first announced the Dec. 28 birth of the couple's girls on his radio show.
"They had twin girls, Dolly and Charlie," Stern said on Jan. 5. "Rebecca likes Dolly Parton, so they named the one after Dolly Parton, and Jerry got to name the other one Charlie, but his brother’s name is Charlie -- and it's a girl Charlie."

Romijn -- who wed O'Connell in 2007 -- feasted on ice cream while pregnant.
"And not any one particular brand ... a lot of the different ones at Ben and Jerry's, but also other crazy brands," O'Connell told Access Hollywood.

In November, the then eight-months-pregnant actress complained to Page Six magazine that she couldn't "move anymore...I'm a beached whale!"

She added: "I have not been without a bra this entire pregnancy. I refuse. I'm not taking any chances. I'm determined to keep the puppies up!"

Larry Birkhead Opens Up About Life With Dannielynn

Larry Birkhead found himself faced with a big dilemma when he went to American Girl recently to try to buy his 2-year-old daughter, Dannielynn, a doll. "I said, 'I'll take one doll with a few outfits,'" he recalls to Life & Style. "I was the only dad there. But there were so many options, I couldn't decide what to get! Then the moms there started giving me tips on what the girls like."

Sadly, the challenge of buying Dannielynn the right doll is nothing compared to what Larry will face as Dannielynn gets older and starts asking questions about her mommy.

Feb. 8 marks the second anniversary of Anna Nicole Smith's death. And while the other little girls at school will be talking about their daddies and mommies, Dannielynn, who will turn 3 on Sept. 7, won't be as fortunate.

American Idol Pulls Viewers Heartstrings In Salt Lake City

From the depths of Salt Lake City, Utah, hometown of golden child David Archuleta, they came: some swell, some lousy, and one whose only saving grace was the pal dressed in a baby-pink bunny suit he brought along for moral support.

Actually, we didn't think Greg the Rabbit's friend was so bad. But maybe Chris Kirkham would have had better luck with the American Idol judges if he had just stashed Greg's foot in his pocket.

Overall, however, Wednesday's Idol pulled more heartstrings than usual, with lengthy segments devoted to 29-year-old David Osmond (Donny is his uncle), who's been battling multiple sclerosis for three years; angel-faced divorcée Megan Corkrey; senior class president Austin Sisneros, whose "aw, shucks" Archuleta vibe seems geniune; and 17-year-old Rose Flack, who's been living with her best friend's family since losing her mom and dad.
