The soon-to-be newlyweds were gracious enough to show the camera some love while celebrating Trawick’s 40th birthday at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas (and a pretty nice photo op for the ring, too. Even if it’s not that subtle.).

Looking pretty good, don’t you think?

“Still glowing! About to jump on a plane to Planet Hollywood in Vegas. Throwing a Bday Party for Jason at Chateau Night Club. So fun. Xxoo,” Britney tweeted on Friday, and soon afterward we found out that they’d also be celebrating their engagement!

So what were the two lovebirds up to as they celebrated the two momentous occasions?

We hear Spears and Trawick were hand-in-hand and kissing throughout the night, as they canoodled at Sugar Factory’s Chocolate Lounge prior to heading to Chateau Nightclub.

The couple and 30 of their closest friends and family members dined on salmon and various pizzas for dinner, along with chocolate pizza, cupcakes, gumdrops and other candies for dessert.

And then it was time to party.

Inside of the hot spot, the “Hold it Against Me” crooner surprised her newly cemented fiancé with a two-tier black and white birthday cake, with “Happy Birthday Jason” displayed on the red-velvet dessert (Trawick’s fave cake flavor).

And post-cake and birthday fanfare, Spears, Trawick and their entourage danced until late in the evening.

“Tonight was one of the most magical nights of my life,” the bride-to-be tweeted early Saturday morning. “Such an amazing time with my new fiancé and our closest friends and family. #Blessed.”

The couple is just too adorable and we couldn’t be happier for them!

According to Star magazine, 20-year-old Mariah Yeater has allegedly filed a paternity lawsuit against Justin Bieber, saying he fathered a baby boy she gave birth to three months ago from a prior hookup with the teen singer after one of his L.A. concerts.

Biebs—with his new swag-tastic hair—is calling shenanigans.

J.B.’s camp told E! News in a statement, “While we haven’t yet seen the lawsuit, it’s sad that someone would fabricate malicious, defamatory, and demonstrably false claims. We will vigorously pursue all available legal remedies to defend and protect Justin against these allegations.”

Yes, Biebs’ “balls have dropped” and he’s already adopted a furry friend with girlfriend Selena Gomez, so they can play house, but that’s all!

To physician Howard Krein!

“Their entire family is thrilled,” says a statement from the V.P.’s office.

Ashley Biden, a 30-year-old social worker, and Krein, a physician based in Philadelphia, have been dating for more than a year, according to reports.

A physician specializing in Otalaryngology and Facial and Reconstructive Surgery, Krein popped the question to the love of his life in September.

She is the only child of Vice President Biden and his wife Jill. His two older sons, Beau and Robert, were born to his first wife, Neilia, who passed away.

Congratulations to the whole family!

That’s according to the defense’s final witness, who finally came out and said, under oath, the theory that Murray’s defense has been floating for months.

Murray’s lawyers long have asserted that Jackson caused his own death, even as the likelihood of such an event has been discredited by the prosecution.

Still, White told the jury, in Jackson’s last minutes of consciousness, the insomniac took several pills of the sedative lorezepan, then injected the Propofol.

“You think it was a self-injection of propofol between 11:30 and 12?” defense attorney J. Michael Flanagan asked. “In my opinion, yes,” White responded.

White, like the prosecution’s star witness, Dr. Steven Shafer, is an anesthesiologist and Propofol expert. The prosecution will cross-examine him next week.

After that, it’s up to the jury to determine if there is reasonable doubt to acquit Murray of involuntary manslaughter, or if the prosecution made its case.

It goes without saying that Jackson’s family feels they have.

Family members have attended trial every day, wasting little time praising the D.A. – or in this case, denying Michael was responsible for his own death.

His sister La Toya Jackson Tweeted, after a particularly tense Friday in courty: “MICHAEL DID NOT KILL HIMSELF!!! HE WOULD NEVER DO THAT!!!!”

The implication isn’t that he tried to, but point taken.

There’s also the question of whether that would absolve Murray of guilt even if it did occur. The state contends it would not, and that he’s guilty anyway.

Prosecution witnesses say Murray not only gave too much Propofol, he also failed to properly monitor MJ, botched CPR and waited too long to call 911.

That, along with inconsistencies in Murray’s own timeline of events, plus startling images like the Michael Jackson autopsy photo, could be his undoing.

He faces up to four years in prison if convicted.

And what did the professional celebrity dress as for the occasion? Poison Ivy, the Batman villain once portrayed on screen by Uma Thurman. All it was took was high heels, a cleavage-baring top and… wait, how is this any different than her usual red carpet outfits?

The party benefited a number of charities, with all cover charges going to causes that include… just kidding! Kim simply banked another six-figure payday for showing off her breasts.

Law enforcement sources tell us, Bieber was cruising around L.A. in a ridiculous 3-car motorcade — with Biebs up front in a murdered out Bat-illac CTS-V … flanked by his friends in a Range Rover and a black Rolls Royce.

According to law enforcement sources, Justin Bieber cut off a CHP officer and was pulled over — along with the other two cars — but fortunately for the Biebs and his perfect life, the entire gang was sent on their way with just a warning.

To add insult to injury — Justin Bieber’s car is maddeningly awesome … with a custom “JB” logo on the side panel … and twin Batman symbols on the front and back of the car. Oh yeah, and the word “Batmobile” is emblazoned on the trunk.

At her 31st birthday party in Las Vegas on Saturday night, Kim Kardashian told of her two-month marriage: “It’s not been ideal because you’re newlyweds and you want privacy.”

That does sound tough. If only there was something Kim could do about it.

Kris and Kim’s relationship has been a hot topic among supermarket tabloids over the last few weeks, with many believing they are just pretending to be on the rocks because season two of Kourtney and Kim Take New York premieres on November 28.

The show needs a storyline, after all, one a tad more exciting than Kim’s wooden personality and Humphries’ lack of a basketball career at the moment.

Referring to life as a member of her family as a “transition” for Kris, Khloe Kardashian remains positive about the couple’s future.

“It’s a work in progress,” she told the magazine. “I really think he’s a nice guy, and he loves her.”

Three second-degree felony charges were filed October 6. Morgan stands accused of possession of the material with intent to promote child pornography.

Wilson was arrested December 7 “after undercover investigators received several file transfers from Wilson’s computer via Limewire in September 2010.

The files allegedly contained “images and videos of children as young as toddlers engaged in sexual acts.”

Wilson, 38, was shown three images that were downloaded by investigators in an initial search and he admitted that he viewed the images to the police.

Wilson, whose employer (the Ritz Carlton Dallas) would not comment on his status as the executive pastry chef, was released from jail on a $10,000 bond.

He must not have access to any computer without monitoring software until further notice. He must appear before a judge to face the charges Thursday.

Tiger Woods’ O.G. mistress just married Matt Hahn in Las Vegas last month. Now they’re already starting a family, which she found out in an interesting way.

According to an insider, “She found out she was pregnant when she auditioned for The Amazing Race. They were going to try out to be a couple on the show.”

“When she had a drug test, it came back positive – she’s pregnant!” At that point, Rachel Uchitel decided to pull out … ironically, because Matt Hahn did not.

The two plan to have an even bigger wedding after the baby arrives. Rache, 36, and Matt, 26, live together in San Francisco.

Rachel became a household name after her affair with Tiger Woods was exposed in November 2009. She later appeared on Celebrity Rehab With Dr. Drew.

She was treated there for “love addiction” and hilariously never mentioned Woods by name, but was still threatened with a lawsuit over her appearance.
