Even before she got engaged, Tara Reid dreamed about what she might wear when it was finally time for her to take that trip down the aisle. “I’ve always wanted that fairy-tale Cinderella look,” she says. “There’s only one moment in your entire life when you can dress like that, so I want to go over-the-top. A total princess.” To that end, she’s enlisted Rani Totman, of St. Pucchi, to design her gown, and she invited In Touch along on her first tryout. “I’ve been married in movies and stuff,” she says. “But it’s not like this, picking out my own dress. Seeing myself and picturing Michael at the altar, I get butterflies in my stomach.”

The other details of the big day are still being ironed out, but Tara says she and fiancée Michael Axtmann plan to wed “somewhere warm,” with about 200 of their “close friends and family” in attendance. Mostly, the star is looking forward to starting what she calls “the next phase” of her life, including “one or two” kids, maybe starting in the next year. “Every single day,” she says, “it just gets better and better.” Sounds like the beginning of a very happy ending!

What do Angelina Jolie, Octo Mom and Kate Gosselin have in common?

They’re all on Babble.com’s new “Most Controversial Mom” list.

Jolie comes in the No. 9 spot — while Nadya “Octo Mom” Suleman (who, sources once told Us Weekly, had plastic surgery to look like Jolie) comes in first, and Gosselin in second.

Jolie earned the No. 2 spot on the site’s “Best Mom” list.

Even though Babble.com notes it’s “easy to despise someone like Angelina Jolie” — it explains Jolie got the title because of her work as a UNCHR Goodwill Ambassador, $1 million donation to Haiti with Brad Pitt and for supporting an orphanage in Amman, Jordan.

“Sure, she may have an eccentric, brother-kissing, blood vial-wearing past, but now she’s a mother who instills empathy, compassion and generosity — and for that, we love her,” the site notes of the mom of six.

Michelle Obama was named the No. 1 “Best Mom.”

Tina Fey, Jennifer Garner and Reese Witherspoon round out the Top 5.

Bar Refaeli credits her six month split from on/off boyfriend Leonardo DiCaprio last year with saving their romance – because the time apart forced her to “grow up” and learn about herself.

The beauty has been romantically involved with DiCaprio since 2005 but they parted briefly last summer before reuniting again by the end of the year.

Refaeli admits she was devastated by the relationship breakdown and went through a “tough time” dealing with her emotions – but the time apart proved to be key to their chemistry when they eventually got back together.

The 24 year old tells Israel’s L’Isha magazine, “It was half a year for which I am very grateful. I needed it. I came to understand a lot of things about myself. I worked on myself (and) I grew up. I didn’t know what ‘alone’ was like. Today I know that a relationship can work only if you know you can be alone and you are not afraid. Today I’m not afraid of being alone.”

The couple recently dismissed reports it’s engaged to wed and the model insists she’s too young to settle down.

She adds, “I’m not thinking about getting married. I’m still young, not yet 25.”

But Refaeli is supportive of everything the Titanic hunk does – even though she rarely walks the red carpet at high profile events with him: “I am there for him and I am at all the events. I just don’t walk in hand-in-hand with him. I don’t see any reason. I don’t need to strike poses with him in front of the cameras.”

Catherine Zeta-Jones has vowed never to embark on a radical diet to shed weight – because she finds the current crop of “super-skinny” stars “scary”.

The Mask of Zorro actress has always showed off a curvy figure, but she has worked hard in the gym to maintain her shape rather that cut out her favorite foods.

She tells Britain’s OK! magazine, “I find this wave of super-skinny women scary. I’m not going to lie to you. I’ve got to drag myself down to the gym like everybody else. But I look at the red carpet sometimes and it’s like a pageant. I’m quite a broad girl, not at all delicate.

“I watch what I eat to stay in shape, but I’m against diets. I eat when I’m hungry, three meal a day. I love chocolate, ice cream and cakes.”

Pink admits she is an easy date – because she is impressed by beer and cheese.

The ‘So What’ singer went to see American punk band Bad Religion at The House of Blues in Los Angeles with her husband Carey Hart and on the way home the motocross racer made his wife’s day by treating her to a cheap snack.

She tweeted: “He (Carey) is so romantic. He just bought me a 24 oz Heineken in a can and a string cheese from 7-Eleven. I’m so lucky… Bad religion!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (sic)”

Although Pink, 30, and Carey enjoyed the gig, the 34-year-old racer admits he can longer party as hard as he used to.

He wrote on his twitter page: “Bad religion killing it at HOB in LA! 30 years strong! But man, Im old. I used 2 leave punk shows w/a bloody nose in my old van. Now I’m sober in a town car. (sic)”

Lindsay Lohan has blamed her high heels and a group of overzealous snappers for her embarrassing fall into a cactus bed on Tuesday night.

The Mean Girls star was arriving at a friend’s home in Los Angeles after a night out when she tripped and stumbled into a prickly patch of plants.

Pictures of the incident hit the internet, and Lohan has now taken to her Twitter.com page to explain how she took a tumble.

Lohan admits she tripped on her perilously high heels as she attempted to duck out of the way of the waiting photographers, and the move ended in disaster.

She writes, “Only I would get pushed into a large, sharp plant by crazy paparazzi!!! I need to start wearing more flats.”
