Busted!
Justin Bieber posted a few photos of a gorgeous private aircraft on December 25 and wrote, "New jet for Christmas, and she's beautiful," which led many media outlets to believe that he had purchased the $60 million toy. But it turns out he was just chartering the plane from Canada to NYC -- talk about misleading!
The G4 in the pics is for sale, according to
TMZ, but Bieber wasn't making any offers. Funny, because he totally tricked us into thinking that he got a Bugatti from pal Birdman earlier this spring. As you may remember, he posted a pic of the $2 million car and wrote, "Uncle Stunna luv. My first Bugatti â™› #generosity," but we later learned that the rapper only loaned Biebs the car.

Tara Reid is in Tulum, Mexico with her new boyfriend, and naturally she's posting tons of bikini-clad pics from the beach!
Yesterday the 39-year-old starlet uploaded several shots of herself relaxing by the ocean, and the day before that she posted a few of herself in an even skimpier brown bikini. "Just found this one from yesterday," she wrote. "My BF doubles as a cameraman when we travel." We bet he has no choice!
While Tara is still very slender, she does look a bit happier and healthier here than she did last month when she posted a scary skinny pic from her parents' place in the desert. Earlier this fall the starlet looked quite stressed when we snapped her picture at a hotel in Los Angeles, so here's to a better 2015 for her!

She has to be talking about her split from Tom Cruise, right?
Katie Holmes covers February's Red magazine, and the 36-year-old actress opens up about work and social media and insists she hasn't changed much over the years. "I’m not so different than I was at 20," she says of her
Dawson's Creek days. "I still buy too many jeans… I don’t stay stuck on anything too long. I mean, like, any emotion."
On social media:
"I think that it's a very interesting time for artists right now because of social media and camera phones. I don't think you ever know how you'll be portrayed. Any story can attach itself to your image. I don't pay much attention because I'd spend the whole time worrying. I just don't go out much to avoid it."
So what does she look for these days when she's booking gigs? Holmes modestly says doesn't have "a lot of choice in the matter" when it comes to booking gigs, and she takes "opportunities when they come."
"Women are complicated, in a beautiful way, and they have lots of different roles," she added. "I'm inspired by the community of women it takes to help one woman succeed. It's important to be supportive and have people you can call at 3am. I have a group of friends I call, and my sisters. If I'm thinking about my sister, she will end up calling me. It's weird. Telepathic."

SofÃa Vergara and Joe Manganiello are engaged,
E! News confirms.
Joe popped the question on Christmas Day in Hawaii, and while the two have only been dating since July, a source tells the site, "I've never seen two people so truly in love. The way they talk to each other, touch each other. It's incredible." Awww!
Vergara, 42, was previously engaged to Nick Loeb, and less than two months after they split in May 2014, Sofia was linked to Joe. The engagement rumors started swirling earlier this month when they were spotted jewelry shopping in Los Angeles, and given how lovey dovey they've been since going public with their romance earlier this year, this doesn't come as much of a surprise. Congrats!

Nikki Reed and Ian Somerhalder attended the Los Angeles Lakers Game at the Staples Center on Sunday night, and we swear, these two always look like they coordinate their outfits! And does Ian own any other fedoras?
After dumping Nina Dobrev earlier this year, Ian started dating her close pal Nikki, who is presumably Nina's former friend now. From romantic weekend getaways to dinner dates, these two certainly don't show any signs of slowing down, and just a few days ago he posted a selfie of the two at a ski resort in Idaho and wrote, “No filter for this sunny Sun Valley day of awesomeness with my loves, the incredible @iamnikkireed and my brother @nathanaugustreed."
Dobrev understandably wants less screen time with Somerhalder on
The Vampire Diaries, and this fall there were reports that she was planning on leaving the show. “Nina has been going to different premieres and been hanging out in Hollywood taking meetings because she wants to expand her career and move on from Vampire Diaries,†a source told
HollywoodLife. “As for Nikki and Ian’s relationship being the main reason, that would be only the reason to speed up things, but not the main thing, she just wants to grow as an actress."

Shia LaBeouf and girlfriend Mia Goth shopped at Barnes and Noble in the valley over the weekend, and we're not sure which books the actor picked up, but he'll certainly be busy reading this winter.
Seeing as he was arrested just six months ago for disorderly conduct, criminal trespass and harassment after a meltdown at a Broadway performance of “Cabaret," he's come quite a long way. Earlier this fall, the former child actor appeared on
Jimmy Kimmel Live and gave a long-winded explanation of what really happened on his now-infamous drunken evening in the Big Apple, and he has since apologized to the police officers he spat on -- and been spotting carrying the Alcoholics Anonymous blue book.
"Man, I went through like an existential crisis," he told Ellen DeGeneres in October. "Which turned into some explorations. I had some hiccups, some judgment errors." Shia added that jail helped scare him straight, and that it was his mom who really helped him see what he needed to do. Maybe Mia should get a little credit?

Former Spice Girl Melanie Brown slammed rumors that husband Stephen Belafonte abused her when she uploaded the above photo on Instagram last night.
"
This is for my fans havin problems with my Twitter will be back soon! I'm very good was very polly but much better now and for the record my hubby never would lay a hand on me sorry took so long but any response fuels rumors #lovemyfamily #lovemyfans," she captioned the pic.
Mel B missed an episode of
The X Factor due to a mysterious injury that landed her in the hospital, and when she appeared on the finale, viewers noticed that she had minor cuts and bruises -- and that she wasn't wearing her wedding ring. Maybe she fell off a bike then?
On Christmas Day the singer posted another picture with Belafonte and their daughters and wrote, "Have a merry Christmas! #familytime #funday," so it seems like all is well...

After
tanning topless earlier in the day, Heidi Klum finally found some clothes, but her boyfriend Vito Schnabel couldn't be bothered to put on a pair of shoes!
The duo went shopping in St. Barth over the weekend, and they made stops at stores like Ralph Lauren and Hermes. Heidi and Vito may be a total May-December couple (she's 41, he's 28), but don't call him a rebound! The two have been together for about a year now, and the former supermodel seems more smitten than ever with her much-younger boy toy...
