The galaxy's biggest stars Harrison Ford (Han Solo), Carrie Fisher (Princess Leia) and Mark Hamill (Luke Skywalker) lit up the premiere for Star Wars: The Force Awakens held at the Dolby, El Capitan, and TCL Theatres in Hollywood on Monday. Wow that's a lot of theaters playing Star Wars.
The three iconic actors first appeared in Star Wars, back in 1977 -- a whopping 38 years ago!
But the film favorites weren't the only ones lighting up the red carpet at last night's premiere. Star Wars: The Force Awakens stars Lupita Nyong'o, Adam Driver, John Boyega, Gwendoline Christie and Daisy Ridley turned up the plus-sized premiere. Other celebs including Sofia Vergara, Joe Manganiello, Geena Davis and more also attended the star-studded premiere.
Kooky actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt also proved his devotion to the force when he dressed up as Jedi master Yoda premiere on Monday. Complete with green face paint, Grinch-print pajama pants, and Yoda ears, the actor certainly showed his allegiance to the light side.
Critics aren't able to give in-depth of the movie as of yet -- but many reviewers did tweet the film's praises after seeing last night's sneak peek. We can't wait 'till this Friday, when Star Wars finally hits theaters!

Reese Witherspoon stopped by Free People at Brentwood Country Mart, on Monday, and she left with her arms full of bags from the trendy retailer. We're guessing some of these threads are for daughter Ava and any hip, younger gals on her Christmas list. Lucky!
In other news, various internet reports claim Reese and hubby Jim Toth are this close to getting a divorce. "When they first got together, he put his career almost on hold for her. Now he works day and night and doesn't answer his phone when she calls. In her eyes he is not the same man she married," an insider told Star Magazine. "She will criticize him for not being able to juggle his career and home life as well as she can." We call BS!

Bill Cosby filed a defamation lawsuit against seven of the women who sued him for sexual assault for “their malicious, opportunistic, false, and defamatory accusations of sexual misconduct against him.â€
Um, isn't this the guy who admitted to giving women quaaludes so he could have sex with them?!
The seven women who Cosby is suing are among dozens of women who have accused the disgraced sitcom star of drugging and sexually assaulting them. Attorney Joseph Cammarata is representing all seven of the women, and in a statement on Monday he said, "If anyone is surprised by Cosby's actions today, they shouldn't be. He's taken a page out of the defense attorney's playbook in an effort to shift the focus of this legitimate inquiry. It is curious that he has filed a claim only against these seven women, when there are scores of other women who have made similar allegations of sexual abuse and assault against Mr. Cosby. My clients remain resolute in their desire to have their day in court, sooner rather than later, and they each expect that their good name and reputation will be restored."
Cosby’s lawyer, Monique Pressley, had a different story. In a press release she noted that the comedian is merely asking the court for relief from the women’s “intentional campaign to assassinate his character for their own financial gain.â€

Ruby Rose and her fiancee, Phoebe Dahl, have ended their engagement.
Dahl said in a statement to Us Weekly, “After two wonderful years together, Ruby and I have decided to part ways. While we still love each other and support each other in every way, it is our mutual decision to part way. Our break is not the result of any media speculation, and we want nothing but the best for each other. Thank you for respecting our privacy in this very difficult time.â€
Dahl’s rep added that the clothing designer has moved out of Rose's Los Angeles home.
Rose and Dahl announced their engagement in March 2014 after just three months of dating, and Dahl was reportedly still in another relationship when she fell for Rose. Scan-dahl-ous! "It sounds corny, but it was love at first sight,†Dahl told Out magazine of meeting Rose. “Apparently, she felt the same thing."

It was a family affair!
Kanye West is on daddy duty with North while wife Kim Kardashian recovers from giving birth to son Saint, which explains why the rapper took time out of his busy schedule to go to Disneyland with sister-in-law Kourtney and the rest of the Kardashian clan today. Kourt's boys Mason and Reign share a birthday, and what better way to celebrate than a trip to the happiest place on Earth!
Yeezy recently told the world not to bother him until he finishes working on his new album, but that plea clearly doesn't extend to his relatives. "No offense to anyone... I’m asking everyone DON’T ASK ME FOR ANYTHING TILL AFTER I’M FINISHED WITH MY ALBUM," he tweeted over the weekend.
Yeezus is reportedly not a huge fan of Scott Disick, but he might soon be spending more time with Justin Bieber and less time with The Lord if the rumors are true that Kourtney is secretly hooking up with JB. Multiple outlets are reporting that the mother-of-three is denying she's doing the dirty with the pop star, when in fact that's exactly what's happening!
Apparently, the pair started their undercover romance back in October after partying together at The Nice Guy in Hollywood. The duo were most recently spotted together this past weekend, and the reality star was photographed leaving his hotel at 4am. She shouldn't get her hopes up for a relationship, though! "He's single, she's single and they're just having a good time. Nothing serious," a source dished to TMZ.
The eldest K sister does seem to have a spring in her step these days, and we would be inclined to attribute that to a bone sesh or two with The Biebs!

Jennifer Garner and her kids, Violet, Seraphina and Samuel, were all decked out in their Sunday best in Los Angeles. The on-the-go mom had her hands full with her three children and a plate full of holiday cookies. Yum!
Ben Affleck's estranged ex was all smiles despite spending her first Christmas as a single lady in over a decade. Jen was demure -- as always -- in a v-cut sleeveless grey blouse that showcased her elegant arms and modest pencil skirt.
Violet was boho chic in a peasant top, knit vest and skirt. Seraphina looked like she dressed herself in a colorful creation and Samuel looked quite respectable in a preppy lil' ensemble.
2015 was certainly a rough year for the 43-year-old, who split with her hubby of 10 years. But 2016 looks like an exciting time for hands-on mom, who has a slew of movie projects coming out. Next year, Jen will be starring in The Tribes of Palos Verdes, Nine LivesWakefield and Miracles from Heaven.

We have to hand it to her for handling things with such grace!
Khloe Kardashian grabbed coffee and some sweet treats before heading to the hospital to visit Lamar Odom over the weekend, and the reality star is looking pretty damn fine for how admittedly stressed she is lately! The E! starlet has been balancing taking care of her troubled NBA star ex with maintaining her relationship with boyfriend James Harden, all while working tirelessly furthering the Kardashian brand.
Poor Khlo recently admitted that she struggles with anxiety, and that her workouts have been crucial in keeping her sane this past year. "Lord knows I’ve had stress and anxiety lately. This year has been absolutely horrible, but it’s almost done. I’m just praying that 2016 will be better. It has to be," she confessed in a video clip posted to Twitter. "I promise you, the gym has taken away so much of my stress. It has helped calm me down. When I’m fidgety and I just feel like everything is closing in, I go to the gym. You’re building endorphins and feeling good about yourself. It’s saved me," she added.
Breaking a sweat isn't the only thing getting her through this dark period, though! The blonde beauty has also turned to her faith and focused on maintaining a positive outlook in order to manage these difficult times.
"I just always try to look at the glass half full. We’re all human beings, and we all have the same problems. I do remember how blessed I am, and no matter how bad things are, they can always get worse. Counting my blessings, I pray a lot. I have a really close relationship with God. I have more conversations with God, and it’s very therapeutic to me. It helps me through a lot of trials and tribulations. I also still make a point to thank God for the trials. As long as you never question or doubt why you’re going through something, you’ll always get through it and rise above. Be proud of your life, and own it," she shared.

Gwen Stefani and her son Zuma must've gotten the two-for-one deal at the hair salon today because they both emerged from a local pet store with matching black-tip hairdos. Hot!
They also emerged with a new pet hamster -- as Gavin's mini-me, Kingston, carried a wire cage with the new family rodent.
Could the little rat be shacking up with Gwen, her boys and Blake Shelton? Well, according to the National Enquirer, Shelton, 39, and Stefani, 46, are close to getting hitched! Stefani's rep, however, calls BS, saying the rumors are "untrue."
We doubt Gwen would rush into another marriage before her current one is even legally over. Plus, the two Voice coaches seem to be having a jolly ol' time just doing what they're doing, dating and keeping it cool. We love the unlikely couple and can't wait to see what happens next. The single life does Gwen good!
