We are in the throes of awards season! And last night, it was the 20th annual Critics’ Choice Movie Awards were held last night. Best Picture went to Boyhood, which also won Best Supporting Actress for Patricia Arquette and Best Young Actor for Ellar Coltrane. Birdmanwon several awards, including Best Actor and Best Actor in a Comedy for Michael Keaton. Julianne Moore won Best Actress for Still Alice. And there was a little redemption for The Lego Movie, which won Best Animated Feature after being snubbed for an Oscar nomination.

They’re just a couple of crazy vampires in love! Twilight actress Nikki Reed and Vampire Diaries star Ian Somerhalder moved in together after only 3 weeks of dating, and now — after 6 months of dating — they’re engaged! It may seem like a whirlwind romance, but these two have actually known each other for years. A source said they’d always been attracted to each other, but she was married and he was with Nina Dobrev for a long time. When they were both free, they glommed on to each other and didn’t look back! This isn’t the first time Nikki has rushed into love. She met former American Idol contestant Paul McDonald in March of 2011 and they were engaged by June and married in October. The marriage lasted about two years.

Mariah Carey made the official announcement on Ellen! She will begin her residency at Caesars Palace on May 6, and she’s calling itMariah Carey #1’s. So the entire show will feature all of Mariah’s number 1 singles, starting with 1990’s Vision of Love to 2008’s Touch My Body. Tickets to her first shows are already on sale with prices ranging from $55 to $250.

As the saying goes, “You can never be too rich or too thin!” So to expand her Skinnygirl empire, Bethenny Frankel is going to start selling weed! Sources say she read about how profitable the cannabis industry has become and she wants a piece of that action! So coming soon — Skinnygirl Marijuana! This is supposed to be a strain of pot that’s designed NOT to give you the munchies! Bethenny was spotted visiting a marijuana dispensary in Aspen over the holidays, checking out the competition.

Remember how Chris Brown was performing at that nightclub in San Jose last weekend when five people were shot? Now a judge has revoked Chris’ probation, but not because of the gunfire. Chris didn’t get permission from his probation officer to travel for that concert AND he hasn’t completed his community service hours. Out of 1000 hours, Chris still has about 200 hours to go. The judge is allowing Chris to remain free until his March 20 hearing, where he’ll get an update from probation officials.
