They are known to bring good luck in the new year, but one Black-Eyed Pea got lucky early. After 3 years of dating, Fergie and Josh Duhamel are engaged, his rep confirms to PEOPLE.

“Fergie called a lot of her girlfriends today to tell them the news,” a source close to the singer told PEOPLE. “She said they don’t know what kind of wedding they want yet, but that she is the happiest girl on earth.”

The Las Vegas star’s rep would say only that they got engaged “recently,” but not on Christmas. TMZ.com first reported the engagement news Wednesday.

Fergie was seen sporting a diamond ring on her all-important digit back in November, during the American Music Awards, but her rep denied the engagement rumors then. The couple celebrated Duhamel’s 35th birthday last month with lots of love and little fanfare.

All the coin that Paris thought she was going to get from her Hilton inheritance? It could be gone, gone, gone — and it’s all her grandfather’s fault.

Barron Hilton announced Wednesday that he would be giving 97 percent of his $2.3 billion fortune to charity, specifically to the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation, putting Paris’ reported $30 million windfall in some doubt. (There will still be about $130 million left, presumably for the family.)

Grandpa Barron has been quoted as being “embarrassed” by Paris’ behavior and supposedly even threatened to yank her inheritance entirely a few years back. Paris couldn’t be reached for comment on the development.

TMZ has confirmed that Mischa Barton has been arrested on suspicion of DUI, possession of narcotics and driving on a suspended license.

According to a press release issued by the L.A. County Sheriff’s Department, the former “O.C.” star was pulled over early this morning around 2:45 AM as she was driving in West Hollywood, Calif. Cops say she “was seen straddling two lanes of traffic and failed to signal when making a turn.” When deputies pulled her over, they determined that she “was an unlicensed driver and was driving while under the influence of an alcoholic beverage.”

Barton is still in custody, being held on $10,000 bail. The L.A. County Sheriffs’ Inmate Information website called her “Mischa Burton.” Sources tell us that Mischa has been “very cooperative” and “no trouble at all.” She’s a good bad girl!

In the wake of her little sister Jamie Lynn’s headline-grabbing pregnancy announcement, it seems Britney Spears has made every effort to turn the spotlight back on herself.

The singer filled another weekend with late-night shopping trips, run-ins with paparazzi and wild driving – but still found time for her kids.

The adventure began just after midnight on Saturday morning, when she and a friend, her assistant Carla, left her Beverly Hills home in the singer’s Mercedes – its headlights off and trunk open – and made the first of several stops at a Rite-Aid store in Hollywood, where Spears parked in a disabled-designated parking spot.

“I have stuff I have to buy for my babies,” Spears told photographers on her way in.

After testing – but not buying – deodorant sprays, she emerged, spending a total of $57.46, with Lucky Charms cereal, Purex laundry detergent, Mrs. Field’s chocolate chip cookies and a 32-inch plush horse (regular price $29.99, marked down by 50 per cent) labeled “For ages 4 and up.”

Her “babies,” Sean Preston and Jayden James, are 2 years and 15 months, respectively.

Spears then headed to Japanese restaurant Miyagi’s on Sunset Boulevard in West Hollywood. “Britney came here around 1:15 a.m. with a friend,” restaurant manager Gator Lee told PEOPLE. “We had just closed the kitchen, but we opened it so she could get some food. She had chicken teriyaki and shrimp tempura. She didn’t have anything to drink, no alcohol . . . She seemed fine, actually great.”

Spears ended up taking the food to go because the restaurant was closing, Lee said, and drove to her Malibu home. Spears and her friend were later back at the Beverly Hills house by 5 a.m.

The next night, Spears drove a white Mini Cooper to Tony Taverna restaurant in Malibu. After dinner, she made a sudden stop to take a picture of a graffiti mural in Malibu with a digital camera. There, Spears had an angry encounter with paparazzi. “Move so I can take a picture. I’m just like you,” she’s heard saying photographers in a video clip posted on TMZ.com. But when the cameramen wouldn’t get out of the way, Spears screamed, cursed and slammed her camera on the hood of a nearby car before driving off.

Minutes later, she returned. Apparently, Spears lost the camera’s memory card and was back to find it. Luckily, one of the photographers had the card and returned it. Then, Spears slipped into the passenger side of a silver Mercedes belonging to a photographer and sped off, her assistant following her boss’s Mini Cooper.

The photographer and Spears – now dressed in a tight leopard-print dress and a pink wig – reappeared in separate cars later that night at the Peninsula Hotel in Beverly Hills, where they spent several hours inside before he left without Spears.

After checking out from the Peninsula Hotel at 9 a.m. on Sunday, the late-night antics were over. Britney returned to her Beverly Hills house with her assistant to await the arrival of sons Sean Preston and Jayden James, who were dropped off with at noon for a previously scheduled visit. Spears and her boys spent the afternoon inside the gated community in Beverly Hills.

The singer’s sons were scheduled to return to Kevin’s Tarzana home at noon on Sunday.

Wow this gal is just plain old NUTS!

Toby Keith has won $2.8 million in damages in the 2001 accident that killed the country music star’s father.

A jury returned the verdict last week against Elias Rodriguez and Pedro Rodriguez, operators of Rodriguez Transportes of Tulsa, and the Republic Western Insurance Co., the owners of the charter bus found to be “in urgent need” of brake repairs before Keith’s father, H.K. Covel, was killed in a collision, the Associated Press reports.

“The jury found no fault on the part of Mr. Covel in the wreck that claimed his life,” attorney Greg Dixon said.

Covel is survived by his wife Carolyn Covel, daughter Tonni Covel and sons Toby Keith Covel and Tracey Covel. The family initially suspected Covel suffered a medical condition that caused the truck to veer out of control, but later learned his truck had been bumped by another vehicle.

The ‘Terminator’ star ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER , whose term as the governor of California ends in January 2011, has already asked a number of script writers to come up with ideas to help reignite his film career.

A source said: “Quite a few of the writers who are on strike in Hollywood at the moment are claiming that Arnold’s people have been sounding them out about ideas.

“He wants to be prepared for the time when his political career comes to an end and he’s already started thinking about it seriously. He believes there will be room for him in the movie business and still sees himself as a big star.”

Schwarzenegger’s spokesman would only comment: “He may go back to the movies”.

The 60-year-old star’s last high-profile role came with ‘Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines’ in 2003.

In October 2003 he was elected as governor of California for the Republican party, before winning re-election in November last year.

Actress Jaime Pressly has topped a new list of fit mothers, who hit the gym to lose baby weight and regained their sexy figures in weeks.

The My Name Is Earl star followed a strict 1,200-calorie-a-day diet and even tried a cabbage-soup detox to lose the weight she gained while pregnant with baby son Dezi.

Just six weeks after his May (07) birth, Pressly looked sexier than ever.

The actress beat out Bridget Moynahan and Isla Fisher as the most super slimmed mum on U.S. magazine In Touch Weekly’s ‘They Lost The Baby Weight So Fast’ poll.

Three L.A. County Sheriff’s Department employees gave preferential treatment to Mel Gibson during his DUI arrest last July, a report found.

According the Office of Independent Review, employees failed to follow proper procedures during the arrest and tried to withhold details of the arrest report, which contained alleged anti-Semitic statements by Gibson.

Two sergeants and a jailer have been disciplined. One received a two-day suspension and the other two received written reprimands.

“The Office of Independent Review is doing exactly what it’s supposed to do, which is monitoring the Sheriff’s Department,” Whitmore said, according to the Associated Press. “That makes transparency more than a buzzword, it makes it a reality.”

The OIR report, released Thursday, found no violations in Paris Hilton’s arrest for driving on a suspended license while on probation.
