James Gandolfini has made Deborah Lin an offer she can't refuse.

The Sopranos star and his longtime girlfriend are engaged, a source confirms. We wish this pair the best.

"James popped the question while in the Bahamas over the holidays," an insider said. "They're thrilled."

Now that Gandolfini and Lin are set to tie the knot, which celebrity couple will be next to get engaged? Might it be Kim Kardashian and Reggie Bush?

In between sexual conquests of random men in Italy, Lindsay Lohan might wanna place a call to her lawyer.

After all, the woman who was allegedly chased by Lohan during her well-publicized DUI arrest last July claims she's racked up a big shrink bill to recover from the situation.

Tracie Rice has sued Lohan, claiming the actress terrorized her in a wild chase in Santa Monica.

Put on some clothes, Lindsay Lohan, you've got a lawsuit to fight.

The victim, who called 911 during the pursuit, has filed legal papers alleging she's already spent $3,500 in therapist bills, $400 on a medical doctor and two grand in miscellaneous expenses.

Rice also says she's lost her job as a result of the incident.

Rumors of a Tony Parker affair with likely liar Alexandra Paressant are finally dying down.

But will chatter about a hook up with Jessica Alba now be heating up?

Probably not.

But the duo is seen here embracing before a recent San Antonio Spurs game. Granted, Cash Warren is probably seated behind Alba; and Eva Longoria is probably cheering on Parker from the stands, as well.

But what kind of celebrity gossip site would we be if we didn't comment on this hug and try to stir the dating pot a little?

Try to contain yourself as you read this riveting Britney Spears news.

The photographer who gave Spears a lift home after she abandoned her car on the road with a flat tire Monday has detailed their brief ride together, saying the struggling pop star spent most of the ride sending text messages.

"She broke out her cell phone and was sending text messages the entire time," said the man, who works for celebrity photo / news agency X17.

He also says the singer put on Timbaland's hit album "Shock Value," but got awfully quiet when asked about spending time with Adnan Ghalib.

Britney also invited the photographer inside once they reached her house.

Britney Spears and her assistant, Carla, go cruisin' in Carla's Camry.

At one point during the ride, the photographer snapped his fingers and said to Britney Spears: "Hey, girl, are you alright?" then told her not to worry. Spears' reaction? She laughed, according to the dude's account.

Inside her (reportedly immaculately clean) home, she told the man "don't be lame" when he asked permission to snap some Britney Spears photos.

Later Monday night, Spears and her assistant, Carla, ventured back out in Carla's ride and had dinner in a room at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills. Then they stayed the night at the nearby Peninsula Hotel.

*Yawn* More meltdowns and no underwear pics, Britney!

Celebrity gossip sources say Paris Hilton may be going the route of Tila Tequila.

The socialite showed up last night at the Hollywood premiere of the fifth season of Showtime's The L Word.

According to a source, "Paris wants to be on the show," which was only the beginning of rumors that claim Hilton is now into girl-on-girl action.

Hilton was sporting a black and tan mini-dress, black stockings and heels topped off with a black wig and hat. An outfit that looked, well, masculine.

Is Paris Hilton dating Katherine Moennig? And who the heck is Katherine Moennig?

Meanwhile, Paris and Katherine Moennig reportedly danced the night away together, threw back a few shots, smoked a few cigarettes and continuously whispered in each other's ears before making an exit.

Insiders say the pair were bound for lesbian night at the Falcon restaurant, with a source there saying: "Paris and Kate were here holding hands."

By their fruits - or at least their cahoots - ye shall know them as Tonica.

Tonica, as in Tony Romo and Jessica Simpson, according to a new Sporting News football column. Tonica, as in a more scrutinized and entertaining, if slightly less beautiful, couple than Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen.

Tonica, as in the single organism that threatens to devour the Super Bowl dreams of the Dallas Cowboys. Perhaps you've heard that Romo and Simpson - with some of his Cowboys teammates - vacationed in Mexico last week.

If you're a Cowboys fan, that means you'll be subjected all week to deathly serious speculation that Tonica's powers of distraction are too potent for the QB to complete the task at hand - beating the rival Giants Sunday.

Is Jessica Simpson a distraction for Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo?

Dallas has been the better of the two teams all year, but lately, celebrity gossip mongers have hit the TV and radio airwaves and the blogosphere to forge a link between Simpson and Romo - and any of the Cowboys' imperfections.

The strains of angst rose up at Thanksgiving, New Year's Eve and now this week, resuscitating talk that Romo fumbled away last year's playoff game because of another celebrity girlfriend - Carrie Underwood - on hand.

Even star teammate Terrell Owens got in on the act after the Cowboys' loss to the Philadelphia Eagles last month - a game attended by Simpson that was, wouldn't you know it, the worst statistical game of Tony Romo's career.

"Right now, Jessica Simpson is not a fan favorite in this locker room," Terrell Owens joked. "I think a lot of people feel like she's taking his focus away."

Can Tony Romo keep his focus? Or is this oversexed QB destined to implode Sunday? Wouldn't it be good to be Matt Leinart and focus only on partying?

Having gone off the deep end, Britney Spears spoke with a British accent during a meltdown and subsequent hospital stay at L.A.'s Cedars-Sinai Medical Center Friday, according to a new report by Entertainment Tonight.

What does it mean?

"She's gone bat$h!t having some identity issues," a psychologist tells Us Weekly regarding the pop star, who recently lost custody of her mistakes children, Sean Preston Federline, 2, and Jayden James Federline, 1.

Driving Miss Crazy: Britney struggles at driving, life.

"What it definitely says is she doesn't really like being where she's at â€" there's a part of her that wants to escape who she is really is. Britney is in an adolescent mode of thinking ... [she's] trying on different personas to see what feels good."

Whatever dude.

In any case, Spears left the hospital Saturday after a strange meeting with Dr. Phil, and then somehow fled L.A. unnoticed with paparazzi beau Adnan Ghalib.

But not to fear. Last night, Britney was up to old tricks - driving around aimlessly, flashing a lot of skin, begging for attention and having car trouble.

Who cares if Tony Romo and Tom Brady actually excel on the football field? Matt Leinart is intent on following in their celebrity gossip footsteps!

The former USC star was in Vegas partying over the weekend with old flame Kristin Cavallari, who was celebrating her 21st birthday.

Laguna Beach fans may recall that Kristin Cavallari and Matt Leinart dated during the second season, when he was at USC and she was... in high school.

And if you're keeping score at home, Matt Leinart's Hollywood resume, both real and topics of celebrity gossip, includes the likes of Paris Hilton, Britney Spears, Shannen Doherty, Alyssa Milano and Brynn Cameron.

Brynn Cameron is really cute, but they've already broken up and had a kid, so she's probably out of the picture for Matt. Kristin Cavallari would therefore be his best conquest of the ladies above, for two reasons:

1. She is actually hot.
2. She is not insane.

Sorry Britney. Anyway, if Leinart really did score with Kristin Cavallari, he'd be giving Romo and Brady a run for their money. Minus the NFL wins.

A little bullet has made Mary Jo Buttafuoco a prude.

The ex-wife of Joey Buttafuoco - and victim of an Amy Fisher gun shot - is sick over the fact that Fisher is peddling a sex tape.

"She's no Jenna Jameson, she's just a porn star [out] to make money. She tried to kill somebody, and now you're making money off it," Mary Jo said, causing us to wonder if Jameson got into that business for the orgasms, as opposed to the dollars.

Mary Jo Buttafuoco won't be purchasing the Amy Fisher sex tape.

Mary Jo - who still has Amy's bullet lodged in her head the same way Amy has husband Lou Bellera's unit lodged inside her on video - said that as she watched Fisher on TV promoting the sex tape, "I was a little surprised at her flippant attitude."

It must have been like opening your front door to the sight of a loaded gun or something.

Meanwhile, the producers of the Fisher tape announced they were putting out a video starring Joey and his new wife next month. Seriously. How will Olivia Mojica ever keep up with this sex tape parade?
