Lady Gaga finally ditched her longtime boyfriend Luc Carl, for a much, much hotter boyfriend. Let’s take a peek, shall we? Here is Luc. Um…. maybe he has a good personality?

And above we have her new boyfriend, Taylor Kinney. Kinney is an actor, who has had roles on ‘Vampire Diaries’ and other TV shows. He was the star of her ‘You And I’ music video, and I guess the two hit it off!

According to sources, she’s staying in his California house until she finds a mansion that fits her taste.

Here’s a picture of Gaga and Kinney lovin it up in the Sunshine State.

You guys have to visit MSN’s Year In Review page on Facebook. They’ve got the best wrap up of 2011! Over the next couple weeks, I’ll be bringing some of their great 2011 wrap-up stories!

Now…. on to the absolutely ridiculous ways celebs spend their money!

Just because someone is rich and famous, don’t think they can’t relate to our mundane everyday lives. They can! They just choose not to. From the diamond-encrusted seat belts in their private jets to the nightingale poop they smear on their non-existent wrinkles, join us for a glamorous stroll back through 365 days’ worth of stars proving they are nothing like us.

When getting gussied up for the Emmys, Gwyneth Paltrow pit-stopped at Sonya Dakar Skin Clinic, where she enjoyed 90 minutes of apple stem cell infusion into her face, courtesy of a peel, an exfoliating rub and a mask. In return, we’re guessing Sonya Dakar was treated to an earful about the glories of D’Artagnan duck bacon and outdoor wood-burning ovens.

Course several stories come to mind from the last year about stars over-indulgent lifestyles. LISTEN to this. Mila Kunis dropped $7,000 to have rubies and diamonds rubbed on her face to make it more lustrous before the Golden Globes. WHAT!? I mean c’mon, really!? And how about Rihanna? She spends $3,300 A DAY to keep her hair looking good! (She should get a refund!) Or how about Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt? They employ a 350-person crew to travel with them. This summer they traveled with their crew on a private train to be with Brad while he filmed in Glasgow.

And this is only the beginning! GO HERE to read more about the shocking ways celebs spent their money in 2011.

Well, for those of you that are hopelessly holding out hope that the Katy Perry/Russell Brand split rumors weren’t true, it looks like I’ve got some bad news for you. Yesterday Russell was spotted in London, (7,000 miles from where his wife, Katy Perry spent her Christmas in Hawaii with friends) without his wedding ring on. Lots of people (myself included) jumped on the ‘HE’S NOT WEARING HIS WEDDING RING!!!’ bandwagon. Okay I could have been persuaded to believe he simply forgot his ring.

And then today rolls around, and he steps out AGAIN in London without his wedding ring. So it’s obviously deliberate, him not wearing a wedding ring. Unless he LOST his ring, or some other completely unbelievable story, I would say the split rumors are true.

Now – I wonder WHY they’re splitting. Any guesses?

Everyone’s proclaiming 2011 as The Year Of Ryan Gosling, and I couldn’t agree more. Dude was in every movie, covered every magazine, and when he lost to Bradley Cooper as People’s Sexiest Man Alive there was a fanatical outpouring or internet rage. And he’s dating Eva Mendes. What more could a guy want?

Here he is pictured leaving  a gym yesterday. Could he be preparing for a new boxing movie? Let’s hope so.

Rihanna and Chris Brown have moved on from that whole sketchy fight where Chris almost killed Rihanna. I certainly believe in forgiveness, but I’m worried that Rihanna is going to go back to her abuser! It’s been a couple years since the infamous fight, and it looks like the two are patching things up.

On his Twitter page, Chris wrote “Love U More Than U Know!” and only two minutes later, Rihanna tweeted, “I’ll Always Love You #1 Love”.

That’s great and all, but Rihanna needs to stay the heck away from Chris. I know this is probably not going to be a popular comment – but I’m going to say it anyway. I totally believe that the kind of person who hits a woman – will never stop hitting women. I’m sure there are cases where men have learned their lesson, and never touched another woman again. But I’m saying majority speaking – men who abuse women will never stop. He hits you once – he’s going to hit you again. No matter how much he “loves U”.

And unfortunately for Rihanna, looks like his family is working overtime trying to get the couple back together!

Ever since their tumultuous split in 2009, Rihanna and Chris Brown have had little contact. But it seems the tide is turning. Chris’ mother, Joyce Hawkins, has stepped in the help reconcile the ex-lovers. “Joyce decided to reach out to Rihanna and help her sort out her life — and her relationship with Chris,” explains a source. “Rihanna is still trying to blot out the inner emotional pain and turmoil of wanting Chris back.”

The former pair “have connected via text and email,” the source tells Star. Still, “Her management won’t let her meet up with him, because they are worried that he would hurt her again or that her fans would turn on her.”

But Rihanna has been spiraling out of control for months, boozing and bar-hopping. Friends fear it’s a sign of her missing her bad-boy ex — and Chris’ mom is trying to help the 23-year-old get back on track.

“Joyce is worried about her,” says the source. “She knew Rihanna as a sweet, young girl who was more interested in her career than partying all night long. If Rihanna thinks being with Chris will help her pull out of her tailspin, Joyce will make it happen.”

Here are some pictures of Rihanna spending the holiday with her family in Barbados. The pictures show her playing in the water with her brother.
