If there were doubts about the status of Prince Harry's on-again, off-again relationship with Cheslsy Davy, this should erase them for good.

The 22-year-old student - who split with her royal beau briefly in November - was a special guest as Harry received an army honor Monday.

As Chelsy Davy looked on, beaming proudly, Prince Harry, 23, was handed a campaign medal for his service in Helmand province, Afghanistan.

The blonde Zimbabwean sat with Prince William, 25, a fellow lieutenant in the Blues and Royals, to watch the ceremony led by Harry's aunt, Princess Anne, in the less-than-glamorous surroundings of his Combermere Barrack.

Prince Harry - dubbed "Hero Harry" in the British press - blushed slightly as he chatted with Anne while she pinned the medal on his left lapel.

It was a family affair Saturday as mom-to-be Jamie Lynn Spears was thrown an intimate baby shower in her hometown of Kentwood, La.

About 30 guests were invited - including big sis Britney Spears - out to Kentwood for a ladies-only, catered celebration for the 17-year-old.

The family's Serenity mansion, where Britney hadn't been back to since her aunt's funeral early last year, played host to the family event.

Britney Spears attended Jamie Lynn's baby shower!

"Jamie Lynn opened every gift," says a source, adding that her mother Lynne Spears and fiancé Casey Aldridge's mother lent a hand.

"We all sat in a circle and she opened gifts and thanked every person. It was just a good old fashioned baby shower."

Though sheriff's deputies were posted at the gate and celebrity photographers circled in helicopters, "it was a normal shower," says the source.

"A wonderful, sweet occasion."

Britney Spears was photographed smoking outside a lot. But it's great that she rolled to Louisiana to celebrate with Jamie Lynn.

In March, the Zoey 101 star announced that she and Casey Aldridge are in fact engaged. She is reportedly due to give birth on July 10.

Vanessa Hudgens models the season's best party looks in the latest issue of Glamour. Here's what the sometimes clothed, always wonderful High School Muscial star had to say about having fun with trendy fashion:

On her shoe obsession:

"[I'm a] Christian Louboutin freak."

On her current obsession, the moderately priced line Free People:

"If something's cool and funky and I like it, it doesn't matter how much it costs."

Vanessa Hudgens: Cute, popular and always in style.

On her favorite style-setters:

"Mary-Kate Olsen, Victoria Beckham and Nicole Richie. [They] have fun with fashion."

(NOTE: How about someone non-anorexic, like Julianne Hough? Just saying.)

On how a great dress makes her feel:

"Feminine and sexyâ€"just how a girl should!"

Ugly Betty star America Ferrera is not engaged to her long-time boyfriend, filmmaker Ryan Piers Williams, her rep tells celebrity news magazines.

Online reports speculated she was engaged because the actress, 24, wore what looked like an engagement ring on the New York set of Ugly Betty.

Turns out, the ring could be part of a plot twist on show. Or maybe a gift from future Ugly Betty guest star Lindsay Lohan. Really, who knows!?

America Ferrera and Ryan Piers Williams: Just boyfriend-girlfriend.

Ryan Piers Williams, 26, is an aspiring director. They first met at University of Southern California, pre-Betty days, when he cast her in his student film.

Engagement or not, they are said to be house hunting (or were, at least) have a golden retriever named Buddy. That's good at least.

The actress - who has endorsed Hillary Clinton for president - will be starring in The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2, out in August.

Since when did not wearing underwear become a fashionable choice for the people behind Mode Magazine on Ugly Betty?

We ask this question in light of news that Lindsay Lohan will be guest starring on the ABC series.

"Lindsay and America [Ferrera] really hit it off," a source said, causing Samantha Ronson to cry herself to sleep at night at the thought of losing her BFF.

Variety reports that Lohan will play a down-on-her-luck former high school friend of Betty. Her first episode will be the May 22 season finale of the show, but Lindsay is expected next season.

In light of Britney Spears guest starring on How I Met Your Mother, we need to ask: can we appear on Gossip Girl if we expose our crotches and start sleeping around?

The American Idol final four recently took in a show of LOVE in Las Vegas. In this Cirque du Soleil special, performers pay tribute to The Beatles.

Who is your favorite remaining finalist: Syesha Mercado, Jason Castro, David Cook or David Archuleta?

A day after her father went on Oprah Winfrey and tried to sound less insane, Suri Cruise continued the family's attempt at a makeover by debuting a new, lighter shade of locks.

What do you think of Suri's new style?

A week after her scandalous Vanity Fair photo was revealed, Miley Cyrus rocked the stage â€" and thanked her fans â€" at the Disney Channel Games concert Saturday night.

"I hope you had an awesome time," Cyrus told the crowd after performing her set, which included two new songs, Fly on the Wall and Breakout. "I saw a sign back there that said, 'Miley, I'm praying for you.'

I could not be more appreciative. Thank you guys for all your support. Without you, none of this would be possible. I love every one of you and I could not be more appreciative. God bless you."

Shanna Moakler believe in Laura Boyce.

The second nanny accusing Rob Lowe and Sheryl Lowe of sexual harassment also happens to babysit for the reality TV star and former Miss USA.

"I've been friends with Laura for the past ten years â€" before she was my nanny â€" and I completely stand by her," Moakler told People.

Boyce, who worked for the the actor and his wife for seven months in 2007, claims that Sheryl created an "extremely sexually offensive and hostile work environment...behaving in a... perverted, disgusting and crude manner."

At a press conference Thursday (shown above), Boyce's attorney Gloria Allred argued that Rob Lowe, as an employer, was equally liable for any alleged sexual harassment that occurred on the job.

Who do you believe, Rob Lowe or Laura Boyce?

Who says you can't go home again?

NOTE: No one we know actually says that.

The adage certainly doesn't apply to Britney Spears, who left California Friday and returned to her native Kentwood, La., marking her first trip back since before hospitalizations, custody battles and crazy no-pants-clubbing galore.

Also in town is Britney Spears' father, Jamie Spears, who remains in legal control of her personal, financial and medical affairs at least until a July 31 court hearing.

The troubled singer's arrival in her home state comes as inside sources say there is a planned baby shower over the weekend for her 17-year-old sister Jamie Lynn Spears, who announced her pregnancy back in December.

Pregnant Jamie Lynn Spears and her 19-year-old baby-daddy / fiance, Casey Aldridge, announced their engagement in March. Congrats, kids!

Britney Spears, 26, last visited Kentwood in early 2007 for her aunt's funeral. Accompanying her at the time was boyfriend Isaac Cohen.
