Is Paris Hilton keeping her engagement ring?

Remember that $2 million sparkler Paris Hilton was showing off on red carpets after getting engaged to Chris Zylka? She's now saying she intends to keep it in the wake of their split. In a clip from SiriusXM's "The Jenny McCarthy Show" published on TMZ, Jenny asks what the plan is for the 20-carat diamond sparkler, which Chris reportedly paid for. Paris, however, says she's keeping it. "The person who we got it from got millions and millions [of dollars' worth] of free publicity, so …," she says, "…I love how social media has basically become a new form of money." Jenny then asks, "So did they say go ahead and keep the ring?" Paris offers a sleepy "yeah," followed by a coquettish, "diamonds are a girls' best friend." TMZ, meanwhile, points out that whether Paris and her massive bauble are besties or not, California law dictates that if Chris bought the ring and wants it back — as the website reported last month was the case — then it belongs to him. Paris and Chris first got engaged in January. They reportedly called off the engagement and went their separate ways in November.

It's been a few years since we've thought about 2010's "Black Swan" or 2011's "No Strings Attached," but the films' star, Natalie Portman, clearly still remembers a few key details from shooting each one. The actress stopped by "Watch What Happens Live" this week to talk about her new film, "Vox Lux." When Andy Cohen invited her to partake in his "Dish on a Star" segment, touching on the fact Natalie had worked with both sides of the married couple, Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis, Natalie happily noted, "I've kissed them both," referring to the sizzling makeout scenes she shot with the actors in those movies (via ET). Without missing a beat, Andy asked, "Who's the better kisser?" Natalie didn't waste any time answering, either. "Mila!" she hollered. "I mean, obviously." Mila, by the way, told a fan on Reddit in 2015 that Natalie is "a lovely kisser, very polite."

"At this point, Kourtney is so over any drama between Scott and Sofia and her," a source tells Us Weekly. "Scott and Sofia are obviously not breaking up any time soon and are very much in love and Kourtney has accepted that. She just wants to bury the hatchet and move on with her life. It's best for her, their family and Sofia, too. All the drama is water under the bridge and they are all collectively in a much better space."

Amy Schumer slams 'out of touch white guys' for criticizing her Super Bowl boycott

Amy Schumer has some words for critics of her announcement she won't shoot any Super Bowl commercials as a means of supporting former NFL star Colin Kaepernick and other players being penalized for peacefully protesting racially-fueled police brutality by taking a knee at games. "The snooty lil digs about me in stories about the super bowl half time talent is such a yawn," she said in a statement on her Instagram Story (via JustJared) on Wednesday, Dec. 19. "All out of touch white guys annoyed by me standing up for what I believe is right. I have done 2 Super Bowl commercials in the last couple years and I'm so stupid thinking my opinion would matter right? Well guess what? I may have made a difference. She went on to point out she's not alone, as artists are reportedly refusing to join Maroon 5 in the Super Bowl Halftime Show over the ongoing controversy. "No one is stepping up to perform [during the halftime show]. Maybe they wouldn't have anyway. But at least I tried to help out and do what other people are too greedy or afraid to. Would you do that to stand up for people of color? I may have made an impact," she wrote. "You can write about sports and even be the best at it but what have you done to help the marginalized or under represented? I will continue to do everything I can. even with all the snide little white sports writers making cutting remarks."

According to her friend and former "What I Like About You" costar, Amanda's continuing her upward path — and even wants to act again after years out of the spotlight.

"I met her when she was 16 years old and you don't know what you're gonna get when you meet a young star of a show, it could be a nightmare. [But] from the get go, [she was] the sweetest, the funniest, the most hard working, and just a wonderful person. She looks beautiful, and she's very eager to get back into acting, which I think she'll have no problem with. I think everyone wants to see her doing something," Leslie said. Adding that Amanda's still "really committed to doing fashion" as well, Leslie also pointed out why Amanda shouldn't be judged too harshly, telling Busy: "I think all of us have had tough times in our lives, and we haven't had to do it in front of the glare of a camera.

Jennifer Garner's 6-year-old son was really confused by 'The Nutcracker'

When she took the stage to emcee the American Ballet Theatre Holiday Benefit Gala in Los Angeles this week, Jennifer Garner — an avowed fan of the company who grew up taking ballet lessons — told the audience she had a special present for them that evening: "I will not be dancing tonight — but that's my holiday gift," she joked, according to Us Weekly. In her speech, Jen also said she was determined to ensure Samuel Affleck, the 6-year-old son she shares with her ex-husband, Ben Affleck, would grow up to be a fan of ABT. That goal seems to be progressing a bit slowly, though. Jen said she took Samuel to see the ABT production of "The Nutcracker" this season, but it was a bit confusing for a kid whose parents both act out stories in a slightly different way than the ballet dancers. "He looked over and he said, 'Mom, I don't know if I get this movie. I'm not really getting the plot. They are not talking.'" Give it time, kiddo. the actress later shared a video on Instagram that showed her decked out like a nutcracker while holding a wooden nutcracker and waving a giant foam finger. "I take game day seriously," she captioned the clip, which also showed Jen playing stage manager for the dancers and crew. She went on to thank Misty Copeland and the other principle dancers for letting her be involved.
