Owen Wilson And Kate Hudson Are Dating Again

Hollywood's on-again, off-again couple – Kate Hudson and Owen Wilson – are on yet again.

"They're back together," a source tells PEOPLE of the pair, who spent all of Sunday together at Wilson's Malibu home. Also there: Hudson's 5-year-old son Ryder.

Hudson, 29, and Wilson, 40, were most recently linked in Feb. 2008, where they appeared cozy at the Academy Awards last year. The two continued to hang out for several months – even celebrating Hudson's birthday in Miami before breaking up in May 2008.

"It was a pretty bad breakup," a friend of Wilson's told PEOPLE at the time. "Owen said it was a tough one. He definitely doesn't want to dwell on it. He wants to put it behind him."

The two began dating originally in Sept. 2006, after filming You, Me and Dupree together. They later split in June 2007, but remained "friends" at the time, a source told PEOPLE.

Chris Brown Detained By Police

Grammy day was supposed to be a glittery affair for R&B's reigning It couple, Chris Brown and Rihanna. But things went horribly amiss.

About the time Brown was scheduled to be singing "Forever" onstage at Los Angeles' Staples Center, he was instead detained by police, being questioned for allegedly roughing up Rihanna.

Brown, 19, turned himself in at the LAPD's Wilshire station around 6:30 p.m. and was booked on suspicion of making criminal threats, a charge that carries a maximum penalty of four years. The case will now be sent to the district attorney's office and further charges could be filed. He was released from jail after posting $50,000 bail.

"He was very professional and didn't appear to have injuries," said Sgt. Bridget Pickett, adding, "He's a good looking young man."

While Brown appeared unscathed, sources tell E! News that the alleged victim was Rihanna, 20, and that she suffered visible bruises on her face during an early morning confrontation. Both in turn nixed scheduled Grammy appearances.

A spokeswoman for Brown's label declined comment and calls to his attorney, Mark Geragos, weren't immediately returned.

Despite sources saying that Rihanna had been hospitalized, her publicist, Amanda Silverman, said the "Disturbia" singer "is well. Thank you for concern and support."

Per department policy, police declined to identify the alleged victim in the incident, which occurred about 12:30 a.m. in the Hancock Park area, apparently as the two were heading home from Clive Davis' annual pre-Grammy bach, where they had been all smiles.

Claire Danes And Hugh Dancy Are Engaged

Claire Danes and her British boyfriend, Hugh Dancy, are engaged, her rep confirms to Usmagazine.com.

The couple have been inseparable since meeting on the 2007 film Evening.

At the NYC premiere of Confessions of a Shopaholic, Dancy explained to Us what he looks for in his perfect girl. He told Us, "Someone who's intelligent, somebody who makes me laugh. I know people always say a good sense of humor, but they're usually lying. Somebody who kind of has an independent life and ambition."

Would Dancy -- who appears opposite Isla Fisher in Shopaholic -- consider making another film with his bride-to-be?

"Never say never," he told Us at the Sundance Film Festival. "There's no list of people I wouldn't work with, up to and including Claire. Obviously, I respect her as an actress immensely!"

No word yet on when Danes, 29, and Dancy, 33, plan to walk down the aisle.

Tiger Woods Welcomes A Son!

The world's No. 1 golfer and his wife, Elin Nordegren, welcomed a son on Sunday, Woods, 33, reports. Woods confirmed the family addition on his Web site after news of the arrival was first reported by the San Diego Union-Tribune.

The baby's name is Charlie Axel Woods, said the proud father, adding, "Both Charlie and Elin are doing great and we want to thank everyone for their sincere best wishes and kind thoughts."

This is the second child for the couple, whose daughter, Sam Alexis, was born in June 2007 the day after Woods placed second in the U.S. Open.

Were it not for the new arrival – and his taking time to recuperate after surgery on his knee – Woods, 33, would have been at Torrey Pines in the final round of the Buick, which he's played in 11 times and won six, says the Union-Tribune.

But as he announced on the PGA Tour Web site last week: "A lot depends on the baby, which is due pretty soon. That takes precedence over anything I do golf-wise. But I must admit, I am also excited about returning to competition." Woods added: "Elin, Sam and I are very excited for the new baby to arrive, although that's when the real lack of sleep begins.
