Even though Melissa Joan Hart has made her exit from Dancing with the Stars (during a double elimination last week), she’s not bitter — in fact, she’s got warm feelings for plenty of the cast! So who’s she rooting for now? “Kelly [Osbourne]. We became good friends, so I’m rooting for her,” Melissa told OK! as Lucky magazine hosted their 6th annual Lucky Shops VIP opening party in NYC.

“Joanna [Krupa]’s also a very sweet girl. Mya’s an amazing dancer,” adds Melissa, “And Donny [Osmond] I’ve known forever and he’s a fantastic performer of course.”

As for any rumors of backstage drama and romance, Melissa insists that everything is quite serene.

“It’s pretty calm back there,” she reveals. “Everyone likes each other. I think now, even since I’ve been gone, it looks like they’ve gotten closer.”

Melissa dished to OK! last week after her elimination, saying her only regret is “I promised my three-year-old [son] I was going to be dancing to the song “Bare Necessities” [from Disney's The Jungle Book] next week, and that’s not going to happen, so that’s a bummer. But I get to go back home to them!” Melissa lives in Connecticut with husband Mark Wilkerson and their two boys.

300 star Gerard Butler turns 40 this Saturday, the day before his latest movie, Law Abiding Citizen co-starring Jamie Foxx receives its UK premiere in his home town of Glasgow.

And the Paisley-born actor admitted hitting 40 has made him reflect on what he wants out of life and whether this might be the right time to settle down and start a family.

Speaking in an interview with the Daily Record, Butler, whose credits include rom com Ps I Love You and gangster flick Rockn Rolla said, “Right now, yes, I question a bunch of things in my life and I am in a lot of ways more comfortable than ever. I know what sill excites me and what is just never going to happen. But then also there are things I have different opinions on. Sometimes I think: ‘God, I wish I was married now, and had kids.’ Other times I think :’Thank Christ I am not married and don’t have kid yet, I can do that later.’ But I can totally imagine it. It’s just not right now. I am great where I am but it would be nice. It doesn’t have to be marriage. It could be to be in a relationship and I would definitely like kids some day.’’

Gerry also revealed he plans to celebrate the milestone in style – with birthday bashes in Scotland, London and the US all in the pipeline.

“I have to do the Jonathan Ross show in London the night before, but it’s a big deal. I have never done it before so it felt nice to do that on the eve of my 40th birthday,” he said.

“On my birthday itself I am going to have a party in London which is great because I don’t get to spend a lot of time there anymore. The next day I am going up to Glasgow where I am having a shared birthday party with my 11-year old niece, which I am a little bothered about because I deserve all the attention but she is getting some of it.’’

He adds, “No , it’s lovely, so I am going to have a family party with her, then when I make it back to New York I will do something there. I might even have something in LA as well but I am not going to have any big parties, just little fun ones.’’

While Kholé Kardashian puts weight worries behind her, big sis Kourtney Kardashian has increasing anxiety about her pregnancy pounds.”I weigh myself everyday,” Kourtney told E! News. “I’ve gained 26 pounds since getting pregnant except I gained three pounds since yesterday.”

Despite her upcoming due date, Kourt still knows how to rock a sexy mini and 4-inch pumps. However, it sounds like the Kardashian Family Knock Out could be her last red carpet appearance since being knocked-up.

“Today I vowed that I was going to wear flats, and then last second, I threw on some heels,” said Kourtney, flaunting a pair of fluorescent pink pumps. “I can’t wait to sit down already. It’s hard carrying extra weight. I’m over the red carpet being pregnant.”

Stepdad Bruce Jenner offered Kourt some words of wisdom, warning her the hardest part is yet to come.

“I have great confidence she will get through this—that baby will be born” Bruce told E!, adding that the same doctor who delivered Kourtney will be delivering her child. “But then the real tough stuff starts for her. You’ve got a little baby there for 24 hours a day, for the next 20 years!”

On Wednesday, Katie Holmes was photographed bottle-feeding daughter Suri on the New York set of her new movie, The Romantics.

Should the girl, 3, still be hitting the bottle?

No, experts say.

“She should have been weaned off the bottle by the time she was one year old,” Dr. Jennifer Shu, a pediatrician and co-author of Food Fights, tells Usmagazine.com. “By the time kids are nine months old, they have the physical development and mouth coordination necessary to be able to drink out of a sippy cup or a cup with straw. That development comes pretty early.”

So what gives?

Shu says she doesn’t “know why” Tom Cruise and Katie still allow the girl to use a bottle. “You don’t force kids to crawl when they can walk,” Shu tells Us.

But Dr. Harvey Karp — a pediatrician, child development specialist and creator of the DVD and book, The Happiest Toddler on the Block — doesn’t think it’s such a big deal.

“Sucking is normal for kids when they are tired or bored — as long as kids aren’t keeping the bottle in their mouths for hours” he tells Us, adding that it may serve as an emotional security device. “Thumb-sucking is more damaging.”

But Shu tells Us that if Suri is using the bottle out of comfort, her parents should “transition her to a different security object that doesn’t cause cavities,” such as a blanket or a Teddy bear.

Or, perhaps, some high-heel shoes?

Actor Alec Baldwin is vain when it comes to body image. And he doesn’t care who knows it.

“I have a great ass, if I may say so,” the It’s Complicated actor, 51, tells Entertainment Weekly in its annual holiday movie preview issue, out Friday. “That’s a part of my body that needs no surgical enhancement or rearranging.”

Still, Baldwin, who turned to an “ass double” when he had to to show off his derriere in the new comedy, out Christmas Day, says he wouldn’t rule out getting cosmetic enhancements.

“I’m not saying I wouldn’t do something! I intend to do something,” he says. “I probably will. Let’s put it this way: I wouldn’t rule it out because… You don’t think I wake up every day and wish I looked like this and this and this? But I can’t let that bother me.”

His It’s Complicated costar, Meryl Streep, isn’t as convinced about getting work done.

“Well, if you’ve ever even contemplated that stuff and looked at what can go wrong in any of those magazines, it’s terrifying!” the actress, whose character freaks out in a plastic surgeon’s office after a consultation, tells EW.

Plus, she says that as a celebrity, “every part of your life is chronicled,’ so “if something mysteriously looks better,” everyone will notice.

Baldwin — who split from Kim Basinger, his wife of eight years, in 2001 — also opens up to the magazine about if he’ll ever wed again.

“I don’t mean to be glib, but the title really is perfect,” Baldwin says of the flick where he and Streep play ex-spouses who rekindle their romance at their son’s college graduation. “It is complicated. I had a pretty tough divorce myself, so sometimes I sit there and I go, ‘Well, should I have worked it out? Maybe I should have tried harder.’”

Baldwin says the film’s lessons are also what he tries to impart to their daughter, Ireland, 14.

“It’s also what you teach your children about their love lives,” he says. “That’s a big thing for me, to teach my daughter: No risk, no reward. I want her to realize that it’s a roll of the dice. Not everybody gets so lucky, where they have a family and a marriage forever and ever.”

True Blood’s Alexander Skarsgård, currently ranked #2 (just below Robert Pattinson) in OK!’s Hollywood’s Sexiest Vampire Poll, spoke to JustJared about his new film Straw Dogs, working with Kate Bosworth and his take on the vampire craze.

Straw Dogs, a remake of Sam Peckinpah’s 1971 taut psychological thriller, has Alexander playing a new kind of character — a has-been football star instead of the sexiest vampire around.

“I play a guy named Charlie who’s a guy from Mississippi who was a big star when he was younger — the quarterback of the football team. He was dating Kate Bosworth’s character, who was the cheerleader — the hottest girl in school — and everything was perfect,” Alexander explained. “He had the best life and people were, like, “You’re going to play in the NFL someday!” And then he got injured and nothing really happened for him.”

But the story doesn’t end there!

“The movie starts later [in Charlie's life] and he’s in his late twenties — he’s gotten bitter in a way. And [Kate's character] comes back with her new boyfriend (James Marsden), who’s a Hollywood screenwriter,” he added. “The movie’s about the dynamic between the three of them when they come back, how Charlie reacts to that. He wants her back…”

While fighting for Kate’s love onscreen, Alexander got to enjoy her friendship offscreen.

“I love Kate,” Alexander added. “She’s amazing — she’s going to be amazing in this movie. It’s a really tough part, but she did a great job — she’s a very good friend of mine.”
