Natalie Portman has love again, according to reports.

The 28-year-old beauty has quietly been dating Benjamin Millepied, a choreographer of her new movie, Black Swan, sources close to her are revealing.

Natalie recently stepped out with her fellow New Yorker for the first time in public at a low-key New Year’s Eve party in the city’s Tribeca neighborhood.

“She’s been subletting Sarah Michelle Gellar’s apartment and she wanted to celebrate with close friends and introduce them to Ben,” says an insider.

“They have been a couple since the fall, but she wanted to see how serious it was before she started to show him off to her inner circle. She really likes him.”

Black Swan, due out later this year, tells the story of ballerinas played by Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis. Benjamin Millepied has been working with her on it.

Congrats to the happy couple if the rumors are true.

After exhaustively scouring every possible detail and weighing every option, the LAPD investigation into Michael Jackson’s death has finally been completed.

The case will go to the D.A. within weeks, law enforcement sources are saying, and it looks all but certain that Dr. Conrad Murray will be criminally charged.

The only question: what charge(s) he faces.

Detectives completed their investigation of the Michael Jackson case last month and it will soon be formally presented to the L.A. County District Attorney.

TMZ says that the presentation will draw quite the crowd, given the enormity of the case, and finding a date when all necessary parties can show is tough.

Just the same, it should happen this month.

Dr. Conrad Murray is about to get an updated mug shot!

The LAPD investigation was “extremely thorough” and the D.A. has enough evidence to pull the trigger on their criminal case against Dr. Conrad Murray.

That being said, the case is extremely complicated, in part because Dr. Murray apparently did not break any laws in administering Propofol to Jackson.

It’s all but certain charges will be filed against Murray, who was Jackson’s personal physician as he prepped for his This Is It tour. Michael died June 25.

Insiders say the most likely charge Murray will face is involuntary manslaughter, which requires a showing of the doc’s gross negligence, but not murder.

It would be difficult to prove - and unlikely the case - that Murray wanted Jackson dead, which a murder charge would imply. Sorry, LaToya Jackson.

Tila Tequila continues to mourn the passing of Casey Johnson in an unusual, publicity-whorish manner.

Just hours after she posed seductively for the paparazzi surrounding her home, Tequila has gone on yet another Twitter rant against Casey’s family.

In a new post, she refers to them as “piece[s] of s- - -” that “abandoned” their daughter and adds:

“Some ppl think just cuz they’re rich that they can just stomp all over other ppl. Even if that means taking away their daughters happiness! My Wife hated them. Just wait til I tell everyone the truth I have proof.”

Tila is certifiably insane and is inexcusably using Casey’s death to garner headlines for herself. But her facts in this instance aren’t entirely off base.

Johnson’s family cut ties with their daughter years ago, citing the drug and alcohol abuse that led to her unstable behavior. Her father, New York Jets owner Woody Johnson, lost his brother to a drug overdose in 1975 and is sensitive to the issue.

The New York Daily News reports he hoped this example of tough love would set Casey straight. Sadly, it didn’t work out that way.

And Tequila won’t let anyone forget it: “Her family abandoned her for 5 years, her friends never called her, ONLY I DID,” she wrote. “Who was there for her? I WAS! I took care of EVERYTHING!”

Early this morning, Tila said she promised to “tell all” about Casey’s personal life. We have no idea what that means, but we do know this much: Tequila is an extraordinarily troubled individual.

Artie Lange, Howard Stern’s radio sidekick, landed in the hospital last weekend. News of his suicide attempt landed in New York Post’s Page Six a few days later.

It was the Post report that divulged how Artie stabbed himself nine times in attempted suicide. Surgeons were able to save Lange’s life after he got to the hospital.

The stand-up comedian’s family had been asking for privacy following reports that Lange was hospitalized, and Stern is pissed that the suicide report was leaked.

Stern personally had respected Artie’s wishes to keep the reason for his hospital trip private, but spoke out Thursday regarding Artie’s exposed personal problems:

“I would love to know who the scumbag is who releases that to the press. This is a private matter,” Stern said, lambasting whoever leaked the suicide details.

Details of Artie Lange’s suicide attempt deeply upset Howard Stern.

“I don’t know what to say. I work with Artie Lange, I love Artie. Everyone has their demons, including myself, but he’s wrestling with some serious stuff here.”

“When I heard the news it was too much to bear.”

“I’m pissed off the story got out there, pissed off at the $h!thead who got paid 10 bucks to talk to Page Six. This is a family matter. I don’t know what to say.”

The New York Post posted an article today from an October interview with Artie Lange, in which he talks about his life and myriad struggles with addiction. 

We wish him the best as he tries to overcome obvious pain and struggles he’s endured lately, both physically and emotionally. Hopefully he’ll get well soon.

When Taylor Swift and Taylor Lautner ended their brief relationship, most sources agreed the basis for this break up was basic:

The pair simply didn’t have a lot in common. Moreover, strong feelings weren’t there on Swift’s side.

But Star magazine has a different theory: a well-known, adorable third person got herself between Taylor and Taylor - Selena Gomez!

Gomez and Lautner were a rumored item for awhile, as the former has said meeting the latter was “the best thing ever.“

An insider now says the spark between these two never died down and they’ve rekindled at least some sort of relationship. Are there any facts to back up this claim? Of course not. But does that mean it’s not worth talking about the possibility? Of course not!

Did a Gomez come between two Taylors? Who are you blowing that kiss to, Selena?!?
