The reigning Sexiest Man Alive and Zoe Saldana are dating and they're extremely happy about it, sources exclusively tell E! News. And we hear that the pair are just now starting to tell family and friends that they're an item.
What? You didn't expect either one of them to remain on the market for long, did you?

A rep for Saldana, who recently filmed The Words with—and got to practice kissing—Cooper, denied that the costars were anything more than friends a month ago, after their appearance together at a Manhattan nightclub prompted romantic speculation.
But as recently as last week, a source tells E! News, they were telling friends that they had plans to go skiing in the Rockies together over the holidays.
"They are totally dating," the source says.
Reps for both stars did not immediately return requests for comment.
Saldana and her boyfriend of nearly 11 years, Keith Britton, called off their engagement and revealed that they had broken up in early November.
After a nail-biting seven-week wait at No. 2, LMFAO's "Sexy and I Know It" at last struts to the top of the Billboard Hot 100 as the chart's top Digital Gainer during the robust sales week leading up to Christmas Day.
"Sexy" assumes control of the Hot 100 by logging a fourth week at No. 1 on the Hot Digital Songs chart, selling 395,000 downloads (up 159%), according to Nielsen SoundScan, over the Dec. 19-25 sales tracking week. The song stays at No. 3 on Hot 100 Airplay with 103 million in all-format audience, according to Nielsen BDS.
As the duo's prior single, "Party Rock Anthem," featuring Lauren Bennett and GoonRock, led the Hot 100 for six weeks, LMFAO is the first duo to notch back-to-back No. 1s on the chart since OutKast ruled for nine weeks with "Hey Ya!" beginning Dec. 13, 2003, and replaced itself in the penthouse with "The Way You Move," featuring Sleepy Brown, the week of Feb. 14, 2004. (LMFAO and OutKast are the only twosomes to lead the Hot 100 with successive singles since Roxette in 1990-91).
"Sexy and I Know It" brings "sexy" back to the Hot 100's pinnacle for a fourth visit. The three previous No. 1s with the word "sexy" in their titles? Rod Stewart's "Da Ya Think I'm Sexy?" (four weeks at No. 1, 1979); Right Said Fred's "I'm Too Sexy" (three, 1992); and, Justin Timberlake's "SexyBack" (seven, 2006).
LMFAO's "Anthem," meanwhile, returns to the Hot 100's top 10 (15-9), spurred by a170% increaseto 214,000 downloads sold. The song racks a 27th week in the top tier, a sum that only three titles have bested: LeAnn Rimes' "How Do I Live" (32 weeks, 1997-98); Santana's "Smooth," featuring Rob Thomas (30, 1999-2000); and, Jewel's "Foolish Games/You Were Meant for Me" (28, 1997-98). "Anthem" passes Savage Garden's 26-week top 10 stay with "Truly Madly Deeply" in 1997-98. The coronation of "Sexy"dethronesRihanna's "We Found Love," featuringCalvin Harris, after eight weeks at No. 1,Rihanna's longest Hot 100 command. "Love" spends a sixth week in charge of Hot 100 Airplay (148 million), whileslipping2-3 on Hot Digital Songs (276,000, up 86%).
Katy Perry's "The One That Got Away" rises 5-3 on the Hot 100 and is just two notches from making parent album "Teenage Dream" the first set to generate six No. 1s in the survey's history. The track bounds 6-2 on Hot Digital Songs (297,000, up 157%) and lifts 5-4 on Hot 100 Airplay (99 million, down 1%). In its first week of availability, the B.o.B-assisted remix of "One" accounted for 26% (76,000) of the title's overall digital sales.
Tom Cruise's Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol beat out David Fincher's edgy and violent The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo over Christmas holidays. Of course, Fincher's creepy film about a Nazi serial killer of women -- that features graphic male and a female rape scenes -- wasn't exactly box office 'feel good' holiday fare. So it makes sense that Chip-wrecked topped it on a family weekend.
1. Mission: Impossible--Ghost Protocol (2), Paramount/3,448, $46.2 million, $78.6 million
2. Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows (2), Warner Bros./3,703, $31.8 million, $90.6 million
3. Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked (2), 20th Century Fox/3,683, $20 million, $56.9 million
4. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (1), Sony/2,914, $19.4 million, $27.7 million (opened 12/20)
The big question facing the Sony may be whether or not to proceed with two more Girl films. And the question facing Rooney Mara may be whether or not to remove her nipple ring and let her goth punk mohawk grow out. If we were her, we'd start taking hair and skin vitamins STAT, hang up her edgy cut-out Roksanda Ilincic gowns and start going on auditions looking like a normal girl.
As for Noomi Rapace, the Lisbeth Salander in the Swedish Stieg Larsson's Girl films, this has got to be, well, the Best. Christmas. Ever. Oh, not because Rooney's Girl is a total Christmas Turkey. But because she starred in Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows, which beat the younger star's Girl. And that's gotta feel really, really good.
There must be a pregnancy bug floating around the Victoria's Secret dressing room. Or at least a lot of cuddling (ahem) when the ladies finish strutting their stuff on the runway and head home to their men.
E! News has exclusively learned that lingerie model Lily Aldridge and her Kings of Leon hubby, Caleb Followill, are expecting their first child together.
According to the source,the brunette beauty is said to be approximately three months along.
Aldridge and the band's frontman tied the knot last May in Santa Barbara after Caleb proposed to his then-girlfriend of more than two years in September of the previous year. Call us crazy, but we're going to bet that this little tot is going to have some insanely awesome genes.
AS VEGAS -- Dan Wheldon, the 2011 Indianapolis 500 winner and one of the most popular drivers in open-wheel racing, died Sunday at Las Vegas Motor Speedway in a horrific multi-car crash on Lap 11 of the IndyCar Series season finale.
Officials decided to call the race, but the drivers, many sobbing openly, did a five-lap tribute to Wheldon. IndyCar Series CEO Randy Bernard made the official announcement of Wheldon's death without further comment.
"IndyCar is very sad to announce that Dan Wheldon has passed away from unsurvivable injuries," Bernard said. "Our thoughts and prayers are with his family today. IndyCar, its drivers and owners, have decided to end the race. In honor of Dan Wheldon, the drivers have decided to do a five-lap salute to in his honor."
Making his way to the west coast, Justin Bieber was spotted arriving at LAX Airport in Los Angeles, CA on Friday night (June 24).
The "Next 2 You" sensation turned up fresh off of an inbound flight from New York City after patiently waiting through a two and a half hour delay.
As usual, the teen heartthrob was mobbed by fans and photographers as he pulled his Detroit Tigers ballcap over his face while shuffling through the metro terminal.
Bieber is in Los Angeles as he prepares to take the stage as a presenter during Sunday night's (June 26) BET Awards - which air live from the Shrine Auditorium on BET beginning at 8PM ET.
From Popeater by Rob Shuter - Don't be fooled by the rocks she's got! Kim Kardashian may not be J.Lo went it comes to engagement rings. Sitting down with her sisters Khloe and Kourtney backstage at the 'TODAY' show, the dynamic duo joked that Kim's sparkling new $2 million engagement ring is not what you think!
"Oh, it's fake. You can suck on it, like a lollipop," the always-hilarious Khloe told me. "Kim's ring is from Nordstrom's [a department store]. $7.99 ... But no one knows if it's really real or fake these days, so why do we care?"
Note to Khloe, we care about everything Kardashian and some people do want to know if that thing is really-truly-positively real! Meanwhile, the ladies are busier than ever, promoting the sixth season of 'Keeping Up With the Kardashians' and getting ready for Kim's big day ... whenever that is.
As I reported yesterday, Kim and Kris Humphries are planning a massive wedding that will be televised in a two-hour special on E! Television. "Kim really wants her fans to celebrate with her on the most important day of her life," my source says.
And although Khloe has no idea how married life will change Kim, she does clue me in on why the Kardashian ladies are into NBA players. Is it all about the seats?
"Yeah, the seats and the shoe size," Khloe giggled. "The shoe size is worth it, but basketball players are just fun in general."
I also asked Khloe what kind of bachelorette party she and Kourtney will be throwing for their sis, and the response is barely printable!
"We're here to promote a show! We're not here to talk about dildos, nipples and vibrating underwear!" Khloe jokes, adding that this season is going to be all about "Sex, drugs and videotapes!"

Michael Jackson was 12 years old (and looked even younger) when The Jackson 5 -- Michael and brothers Jackie, Tito, Jermaine and Marlon -- performed on The Ed Sullivan Show for the first time in 1969. The adorable kid with the big voice was already a showbiz veteran, having toured with the group since he was just 6. Michael's extraordinary talent was obvious: During the group's performance of their first major single "I Want You Back," Michael's older brothers (no slouches themselves) practically fade into the background. He steals the spotlight -- a harbinger of things to come.
'off the wall' is released, 1979
While he was still a member of The Jackson 5, teenage Michael Jackson released four solo albums with Motown Records. But it wasn't until 1979’s Off the Wall, produced by Quincy Jones, that Michael took full creative control of his solo career. "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough" was the album's first single. The song and its accompanying video gave a glimpse at Michael Jackson as we know him: his unique vocal tics and dance style, his distinct falsetto voice, and even some unexpected sex appeal.
Singer Rihanna slammed a story by MTV Canada based on a tweet, supposedly written by the singer, regarding Chris Brown and the night he attacked her.
E! Online is reporting that RiRi slammed MTV Canada on a story they ran which quoted a tweet from Rihanna's official Twitter page, allegedly from the singer, where she admitted she provoked Chris Brown on the night he attacked her.
The tweet said, "I admit it. I provoked Chris to hit me. It was not entirely his fault. #ImSORRY"
The 23-year-old-singer took to her Twitter page and gave MTV Canada a piece of her mind, "@mtvnewscanada are u f**king kiddin me?????? You're supposed to be a RELIABLE source for news on music and this is the bulls**t u post??"
MTV Canada later tweeted a retraction to the story saying, ""#Rihanna fans. We were reporting on a story that was posted on several sites today. We had no intention to be salacious."
Brown physically attacked Rihanna in 2009 and later pleaded guilty to assaulting her and publicly apologized for the incident.
He underwent court-ordered domestic violence counseling and spent six months doing community service.
Kings of Leon played an emotional tribute to former 'Jackass' star Ryan Dunn on Wednesday night, June 22, during the encore for their first of two shows in London's Hyde Park.
Dunn, who had become a friend to the band in the past year, was killed in a fatal car accident in Philadelphia in the early hours of Monday, 20 June.
Speaking to the crowd, NME reports that frontman Caleb Followill dedicated 'Use Somebody' to Dunn and led the crowd in raising their glasses to "a friend of ours."
This echoed sentiments tweeted by brother Jared before the performance, saying he was "heartbroken" and "devastated" at the loss of the 34-year-old, whose memorial service also took place Wednesday.
The group's set marked the first of a string of sold-out stadium dates in the UK, with support coming from White Lies and modfather Paul Weller.
Featuring hits from their five studio albums, they included fan favourites' 'Pistol of Fire' 'Knocked Up' and latest single 'The Immortals.' Kings of Leon once again take on Hyde Park Thursday evening (June 23), before heading to Edinburgh's Murrayfield Stadium (June 26).
Popeater - Eva Mendes has been named the new face of the iconic scent, as well as the soon-to-launch, airier Eau De Toilette version available this August.
The campaign--which was shot in Prague--features the actress (in a custom Mugler dress) singing with an orchestra.
Though this wasn't the initial concept for the commercial: When Mendes was prepping for the shoot she found inspiration by singing along to "The Windmills of Your Mind," the song that was chosen for the campaign. Everyone on set loved it so much they decided to incorporate her singing into the commercial.
Rihanna's controversial music video for 'S&M' has landed her in hot water yet again. This time around, photographer Phillip Paulus is suing the singer for copyright infringement.
According to RadarOnline.com, Paulus alleges that Rihanna identically replicated his series of photographs, called 'Paperworld,' in the racy video without his permission.
The scene in question depicts Rihanna, dressed in a large, fluffy gown against a wall, and is covered in plastic and surrounded by large black 'X' marks. Paulus claims one of his photographs is extremely similar in both concept and execution.
"For legitimate reasons the use of copying Paulus' work over a million times requires an agreement that protects the copyright and the achievements and creations of our client which has never been given by our client, neither to the artist Rihanna nor to her label Universal Music," Paulus' lawyer said in a statement. "According to this, the copyright laws of our client has been infringed and the worldwide million-wise exploitation of the video 'S&M' is unlawful."
Paulus also released a statement of his own regarding Rihanna and the lawsuit.
"Why a worldwide celebrity is not able to afford a creative director, who creates individual concepts and stagings, is incomprehensible for me," Paulus said. "To create new things within the creative cosmos, you can only expect this to come from a real genius, there is no doubt about that."
He adds that the singer and her label should be embarrassed that they copied another artist's work.
"...Every other creative professional should realize how supremely embarrassing it is to copy the work of colleagues from the artistic world and then to be praised for it," he said.
This is the second 'S&M' lawsuit for Rihanna and Universal. Photographer David LaChapelle sued over the video in February, claiming it copied the "composition, total concept, feel, tone, mood, theme, colors, props, settings, decors, wardrobe and lighting" of his work.
With a hot ticket in the box office in 'Midnight in Paris,' it looks like Owen Wilson is saving his happy ending for the big screen. According to the UK's Daily Mail, Wilson has split from the mother of his child, Jade Duell.
Wilson and Duell welcomed their first child, son, Robert, five months ago but it turns out that a baby wasn't enough to keep the family together.
"Owen wanted the freedom to do what he wanted with his friends, both male and female, while remaining a family unit with Jade and the baby," a source close to the couple told the National Enquirer. "But Jade wasn't willing to go along with that, so Owen decided to end things with her instead of cheating behind her back."
It sounds like Wilson's 'Midnight in Paris' character may be rubbing off on him in real life, but he should know better than to think he could have it both ways. According to reports, Wilson remains in Santa Monica, California while his girlfriend and baby mama, Duell, moved back to New York with the couple's baby to be with her family. Wilson also flew solo at the majority of his 'Midnight in Paris' premieres and press events, making it seem as though Duell was either busy at home with baby Robert or the pair had been separated for quite some time.
The couple first met last year -- Duell was an air marshal sitting next to Wilson on a flight. Although their meet cute sounds like a Woody Allen movie in the making, it looks like the pair won't be getting a typical romcom ending.
This is one instance of cross-generational love that we fully support. After Justin Bieber sported a t-shirt emblazoned with Tiffani Thiessen's iconic role as the sultry and spunky Kelly Kapowski at Canada's MuchMusic Awards, Thiessen has returned the favor.
Forget wearing your heart on your sleeve, these two mutual supporters are wearing theirs across their chests, showing much love for their fellow -- save the 20 year age gap -- teen icons.
"Ha, thx for the love @justinbieber," Thiessentweeted after catching a peek of her 'Saved by the Bell' days -- sporting high-waisted jeans, suspenders and not much else -- remembered on Bieber's t-shirt.
Is Bieber the Zach Morris of the new teeny bopper generation? And if so, would that make Selena Gomez the Ms. Kapowski of the new era?
Jennifer Aniston recently made a big life decision about someone very dear to her heart.
No, we're not talking about the TV and movie star's new romance with Justin Theroux. Aniston has been spotted sporting her very first tattoo, an elegant script prominently inked on the inside of her right foot.
The tattoo, according to People.com, reads "Norman," a tribute to her precious 15-year-old Welsh corgi-terrier mix. Aniston's beloved dog sadly passed away last month.
"Men come and go but there really is no relationship like the one you have with a dog -- and then they don't live as long as they should," she once told a British news outlet. "You have to say goodbye way too soon. It's just so sad. It makes me so sad. But their love is unconditional and I love that," Aniston added.
No word on where the actress, 42, got her tattoo, or whether any other names will be inked onto her body; she is reportedly also the owner of a German shepherd mix named Dolly. Meanwhile, she's clearly been cheered up in the past few weeks by spending a lot of quality time with Theroux. The writer-actor sat in the front row of Aniston's recent 'Inside the Actors' Studio' taping, where his new girlfriend reportedly teared up while discussing the loss of Norman. After the interview, host James Lipton told a journalist, "She's as quick and witty and charming as she is on screen." - popeater.
From Japanese Karaoke goer to a 'let them eat cake' corset wearing Marie Antoinette to a space age beauty enthusiast, Selena Gomez sure is showing some range in her new music video for 'Love You Like a Love Song.'
But what's one thing that's noticeably absent from Justin Bieber's girl's video? The pastel purple ponies Gomez had painted for the video -- a move that severely angered her fellow pop songstress and animal rights activist, Pink. But what the ponies left out Gomez certainly made up for her with her best 50's Pink Lady impressions and Bohemian romance novel recreations.
"This song is fun and I wanted it to be really high fashion and different and I think we have accomplished that," Gomez told E! News.
Hugh Hefner certainly doesn't waste any time. Less than two weeks after being dumped by fiancee Crystal Harris, the Playboy founder hasmoved on with Playmate Anna Sophia Berglund, and he's not holding his feelings back.
"With Crystal gone, Anna is my best girl," Hefnertweeted to a fan who asked if he was dating the Playmate, who was Miss January 2011. He also added that Berglund, 25, is one of Harris' friends, and that "Anna is really one in a million."
However, the almost-Mrs. Hefner doesn't think Berglund and Hef are an item.
"Nope!" Harris tweeted to a fan who asked if Hef was dating Berglund. "Shes just over there regulating making sure Hef ends up w a good girl :)"
Sounds like some mixed signals to us.
Harris infamously broke off her engagement to Hefner less than a week before they were set to tie the knot earlier this month, reportedly leaving the Playboy mogul "heartbroken."
Well, that didn’t take long! Newly divorced Elizabeth Hurley was spotted grabbing lunch with her new beau, Aussie cricket star Shane Warne. Liz isn’t wasting any time since her divorce finalized just last week from Arun Nayar. The lovebirds were spotted smooching and showing tons of PDA over lunch before reportedly heading back to Liz’s house.
James Spader, new boss of Dunder Mifflin? Maybe, according to Entertainment Weekly.
The 'Boston Legal' star is reportedly in talks to join 'The Office,' but not as Scranton branch manager -- as the Dunder Mifflin/Sabre CEO. 'Harry's Law' actress Kathy Bates currently plays the paper and printer company honcho, but won't be able to reprise her 'Office' role and star on 'Harry's Law' at the same time.
"In the finale, he kicked ass," a source close to the show told EW. "He was so funny and had this weird energy. We didn't want to pass it up."
While no scripts have been written for 'The Office' Season 8 and Spader has yet to sign a deal, the likely scenario according to EW is this: Spader's character is hired as branch manager, but quickly decides the job is too small for him. He then convinces corporate to give him the CEO gig. That would leave the branch manager position open for either an internal or external hire ... and we're back to square one.
Bates guest starred in a handful of episodes, but Spader would appear on more regular basis.
'Doctor Who' veteran Catherine Tate emerged as the front-runner for the job, according to reports following her Season 7 finale appearance, but she's doing a play in London until September. The Spader scenario could feasibly give her enough time to wrap the stage production and then join 'The Office' as the branch manager.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge attended a formal military ceremony in Windsor, England, on Saturday morning to award medals to soldiers of the Irish Guards for their service in Afghanistan.
Back in April, of course, Prince William wore the distinctive red uniform of the Irish Guards when he married Kate Middleton at Westminster Abbey.
As part of this weekend's military parade, the newlyweds shook hands and paused to chat with hundreds of the troops, who lined up for the honors.
"I can only imagine what the campaign medals you receive today must mean to you," said William.
Kate, dressed smartly in head-to-toe navy blue, remarked that she was pleased to be involved because the regiment is "so close" to her husband's heart.
The BBC praised Kate's "relaxed" demeanor, in her first military appearance as a member of the royal family. She and William, who was named Colonel of the Irish Guards in February, also met privately before the event with the families of three fallen servicemen to deliver posthumous medals.
In a matter of days, William and Kate will begin an 11-day tour of North America, including a stay in Los Angeles. The Duke celebrated his 29th birthday earlier this week.
Jennifer Aniston is the latest celebrity to sit down with James Lipton for a taping of 'Inside the Actors Studio'--and she brought current beau Justin Theroux to the big event!
Aniston taped the show Thursday night in front of an audience filled with fans and acting students--but she seemed to only have eyes for Theroux, according to UsMagazine.com. The 42-year-old actress kept stealing glances, even winking one time, at Theroux who sat in the front row.
"Whenever there would be a lull, she would just look at him and give him a wink and go back to what she was doing," second-year Actors Studio MFA student Christina Schudel told PEOPLE after the taping.
She even called him out, among others, as people she "loved" working with over the course of her career.
During her chat with Lipton, Aniston talked about sex scenes and her relationships with her old 'Friends' co-stars. "They are miserable," Aniston said of sex scenes. "It's your total figure in front of a lot of people. And you have to do so many takes. I wonder if they did that on purpose!"
It certainly has been a groundbreaking yet nail biting week for marriage equality in New York as same-sex marriage advocates have come within one Republican Senate vote to pass the marriage equality bill -- although the vote still has yet to take place.
But the hesitation to bring the bill to a vote -- on behalf of Republicans -- is not for the lack of trying and persuasion from our favorite LGBT supporting celebrities.
"I'd sure love to get married," Neil Patrick Harris tweeted Friday evening. "Please, NY Senate, vote in favor of marriage equality today. My family would really appreciate it."
The LGBT community's resident mother monster, Lady Gaga, has also been fervently tweeting about the potential passing of the bill and urging her fans to call their local senators and ask them to vote yes to legalize gay marriage.
Today marks two years since the shocking death of Michael Jackson, and unsurprisingly, controversy surrounding the singer has hardly died down.
In the involuntary manslaughter trial of Dr. Conrad Murray, accused of administering the pop icon's fatal dose of meds, the defendant is allegedly maintaining his innocence so adamantly,TMZ reports that Murray wants to refuse any plea offer, including deals with no jail time.
Behind the scenes, Murray's team just won court approval to view hours of outtakes from the MJ documentary 'This Is It.' In gainingaccess to the top-secret footage, the defense seeks proof that Jackson was unwell in the days before his 2009 cardiac arrest.
As for Jackson's kids, Prince, Paris and Blanket were spotted taking in a movie on Friday. The three are in the care of their grandmother, Katherine Jackson, and reportedly thriving.
And outspoken as always about her family's dramas, 'Celebrity Apprentice' contestant LaToya Jackson has been making the rounds promoting her upcoming book. In 'Starting Over,' she insists Murray is merely the fall guy in a broader conspiracy plot carried out to kill her brother.
"This is definitely something that was premeditated, that they had planned to do, and they planned to take my brother out, and my brother knew it, and that's why my brother told me repeatedly....that this was going to happen to him," she said in a recent interview, according to CBS News. "He explained to me, 'It's because of my catalog.'" (Michael Jackson co-owned the lucrative Sony/ATV catalog, including Beatles music.)
Usher has an offer he hopes Pippa Middleton can’t refuse.
The R&B star wants the world’s most talked about woman to be the face (and presumably the body) of his new lingerie line.
“I don’t think there’s a more beautiful, more stunning, more talked-about woman in the world at the moment,” Usher told Look magazine.
Usher may be right about the former, and is definitely right about the latter.
Usher hasn’t approached P. Middy yet, but it sounds like he’s getting close.
“I’m going to be approaching her in the next few weeks and setting up a meeting this summer,” Usher said. “The great thing about her is that she would be a global brand. Everybody knows her now, she would be perfect. I am sure everybody is trying to sign her up and she won’t be cheap, but she has the looks and the popularity to really establish a new product."
Actually, Pippa has already shown how much attention she can get for wearing some women’s underwear.
Remember This Picture?
It’s a case life imitating art–or life imitating reality TV.
Or something. It’s so confusing.
Kim Kardashian’s ex, Reggie Bush, is now dating the woman who bears such a striking resemblance to the reality star, she was cast as a Kim Kardashian-like character in an Old Navy ad.
Model Melissa Molinaro scored a hit last February with “Super C-U-T-E” on YouTube, which has been viewed almost two million times.
The video has Molinaro’s very Kardashian-ish character declaring, “This is real life, I’m not posing for a magazine, don’t ask me any questions until I’ve had my caffeine.”
LOS ANGELES – Josh Duhamel, the television and film actor known for his roles in the "Transformers" movie franchise, rallied his fans and famous friends Friday to support his hometown of Minot, North Dakota, which is battling a devastating flood.
As the city of 41,000 prepared to face massive flooding earlier this week, Duhamel began frequently posting about the disaster on Twitter, urging other celebrities to raise awareness and soliciting donations for the Red Cross.
Residents were evacuating Minot on Friday as the Souris River flooded parts of the city and officials said floodwaters were likely to rise higher than previously expected.
The crest was now predicted to reach 1,564.5 feet above sea level by early Sunday afternoon, which would break a 130-year-old record by more than six feet, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing National Weather Service data. The flooding could put some parts of the city under as much as 15 feet of water, the Journal said.
Troubled actress Lindsay Lohan will not go to jail despite testing positive for alcohol use last week because a Superior Court judge says she was not required to submit to controlled substance testing after February 25.
Superior Court Judge Stephanie Sautner said during a hearing Thursday that she did not think Lohan violated her probation by testing positive for alcohol during a recent test.
Sautner says the court record is ambiguous about whether or not Lohan was ordered to refrain from drinking.
The 24-year-old actress arrived Thursday for the meeting with Judge Sautner, who said that Lohan's prior judge, Elden Fox, only required substance testing from January 3- February 25, TMZ reports. The Probation Dept. will no longer test Lohan for drugs or alcohol since there is no court order allowing it.
Arriving at the conference shortly before 10 a.m. PST Thursday, a solemn-faced Lohan walked past photographers and members of the media. Wearing a blue button-down shirt and dark trousers, she covered her face with sunglasses and tied her blonde hair back in a ponytail.
