A month is plenty of time for a relationship to become a REALLY BIG DEAL.
Some couples end up married within a month, and end up getting their own show a year later. And some are taking yacht rides in the Caribbean within weeks!
Then there are others who may look serious while sipping maple lattes, but in the end...they're just getting coffee.
LOOKING AHEAD: What will be the year's biggest story in 2011?NOT QUITE A LOVE STORY: Taylor Swift and
Jake Gyllenhaal's brief liaison has ended, but whether it cut deep enough for Taylor to include in her upcoming album,
Brokeheart Mountain, we'll just have to wait and see.
OVERTIME: E! has given
Khloé Kardashian and her high-scoring Laker hubby
Lamar Odom their own spin-off series,
Khloé & Lamar, to better focus on one of the cutest couples around (Seriously, did you
see their wedding special?). Khloé is already setting herself apart from the pack, dying her brown tresses red.
THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN: First off, the people love Khloé's hair, in addition to
The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, which was named Favorite Movie at the People's Choice Awards,
Johnny Depp,
Kristen Stewart,
Katy Perry,
Eminem,
Taylor Swift (things aren't so bad, Tay!),
House,
Glee,
Keeping Up With the Kardashians (natch!) and many, many more. Not that
Eclipse wasn't the best film in the saga so far, but it's more likely that the Twihards have it figured out by now—vote for them, and They will come. And sit together, and look hot.
SETTING SAIL: Justin Bieber and
Selena Gomez took to the Caribbean to enjoy some "alone time" after being outed as a cute teenage flash in the pan.
HOW DO I LIVE: There goes
LeAnn Rimes, with her suspiciously perky boobs, questionable fame and big ring that she may have paid for herself. (Which is pretty common and doesn't necessarily mean that
Eddie Cibrian is having financial issues.) But at least LeAnn and
Reese Witherspoon are wearing nearly identically expensive rings, so it's a good showing for the songbird.
Jack Rowand/The CW BESTEST: You picked
Supernatural as your favorite show of 2010. Yup. Out of
all shows.
TEENAGE NIGHTMARE: Is
this the reason
Russell Brand wasn't Katy Perry's date at the People's Choice Awards?
BUCKINGHAM PALAVER: Prince William's almighty grandmum, Queen Elizabeth II, gave him a talking-to about his excessive (not by LeAnn Rimes standards, though) tweeting, especially objecting to the idea that she would ever consent to hosting a
buffet reception. Far too Vegas for Her Majesty. Plus, some more lovely royal wedding scoop,
dahling.DRIED OUT: Lindsay Lohan is out of rehab, adopting a mantra, playing house in Venice (right next to
Samantha Ronson, as luck would have it), working out and still facing the possibility of more time in court, not to mention the Inland Empire, if she's charged with battery.
ALL WET: David Arquette checked into rehab to kick his addiction to
Howard Stern. Or was it alcohol?
BESAME MUCHO: The Vegas outpost of
Eva Longoria's restaurant Beso and her Eve nightclub filed for Chapter 11.
FEELING BLUE: Michelle Williams says she was devastated by
Nightline editing her recent interview in such a way that it seemed like the focus of the whole thing was on
Heath Ledger's death. Not so, she protests.

Kyle Richards get along—most of the time. And, according to her,
