Reportedly, Dominic Monaghan and Evangeline Lilly are finally ready to say I do!

After an aborted plan to marry two years ago, the on-again/off-again couple is so serious this time about saying “I do” that they recently invited Dominic’s parents to join them in Las Vegas – so they could get their blessing, say friends.

“Dominic and Evangeline have decided that now is the time to make it official,” revealed an insider. “They’ve been through breakups and makeups and feel that their love has stood the test of time.”

Dominic’s parent’s “couldn’t have been happier” with their plans to marry.

Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe has confessed in a frank interview to a gay magazine – he is a Liberal Democrat.

The handsome actor – who turned 20 yesterday – appears on the latest cover of Attitude and inside reveals his true political feelings.

He tells of his deep dislike for Prime Minister Gordon Brown and Tory leader David Cameron.

The multi-millionaire also tells how he grew up surrounded by his parents’ gay pals and hates anyone with a homophobic attitude.

Radcliffe – who is not gay and is dating actress Laura O’Toole – said: “I just loathe homophobia. It’s just disgusting and animal and stupid and it’s just thick people who can’t get their heads around it and are just scared. I grew up around gay people entirely. I was the only child in my class who had any experience of homosexuality or anything like that.”

The actor – who battles soul-sucking Dementors as the boy wizard and is currently starring in Harry Potter And The Half Blood Prince – said he supports Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg because the other parties offer nothing to young people.

He said: “I rather like Nick Clegg. At the next election I will almost certainly vote Lib Dem. If all the people who liked them voted for them you could change politics overnight and we could have a proper three party system.”

Asked about Gordon Brown he said: “Paul Merton said, and I agree with him, ‘it’s a tragedy that this man has waited all his life to do this job – and now he finds out he can’t do it.’

“I don’t like the New Labour thing. I never experienced the optimism of New Labour, I was too young but I hear everyone was up and it was fantastic. I’ve only seen the bad years of it.”

Radcliffe’s opinion on David Cameron is no more positive.

He raged: “No! No, no, no, no, no! David Cameron is barely distinguishable from Tony Blair.”

He added: “I think the reason why people don’t vote is because the politicians are all so central now, it doesn’t seem to matter who you vote for.”

He also blasted the BNP who won two seats in the recent Euro elections, saying: “I hate any type of prejudice.”

Katie Holmes brought more than her dance moves to Thursday night’s So You Think You Can Dance.

Some 8.4 million people tuned into the 100th episode of the FOX competition, an increase of 17 percent in total viewers. SYTYCD was the highest-rated show among adults 18 to 54, teens and females, according to network stats.

Holmes showed off her legs while stepping through a pre-taped Judy Garland tribute on the show.

She donated her performance fee to Dizzy Feet Foundation, which offers dance scholarships to kids.

“I don’t think she’s ever looked more beautiful,” judge Mary Murphy told Usmagazine.com last night. “I bet Judy Garland’s giving [Katie] a standing ovation in heaven.”

Added show producer Nigel Lythgoe: “She put herself out there and she didn’t have to do that, so I’m very delighted in her performance.”

What did you think of her performance?

The night after Jude Law started a controversy by — accidentally, he claims — striking a female photographer attempting to snap a picture of him in London, the actor was booed and heckled by the paparazzi gathered outside the Wyndhams Theatre while he tried to sign autographs for fans.

The obviously agitated Jude even got face-to-face with one photog who had a problem with Law’s behavior the previous night.

It was obviously an accident and there are no photos that have surfaced showing him hitting her in the face. I’ve only seen the ones where he looked like he was raising an arm to shoo away the snappers.

Amy claimed that she was just scared and felt intimidated, and meant to simply push the woman’s arm away. She also claimed that she was too short to have punched Flash in the face. The judge said he could not be sure the blow was deliberate.

“I’m relieved. I’m going home,” Amy said as she left. She also released a statement, saying she was “very happy to move on with her life and put the episode behind her.”

She’s looking so much better, too, isn’t she? I can’t wait for her to release another album!
