Chris Wilson loves Fashion Week parties like unicorns love rainbows. But ten consecutive days of late-night bacchanalia can damage both body and soul. Last night he hit Paper's 25th Anniversary blowout to find out how to make it out alive.

• Are Kate Hudson and Alex Rodriguez engaged? The actress was spotted wearing a big diamond on her ring finger this week, which means "either A-Rod is making it official, or Ms. Hudson made some very careless jewelry choices." [NYDN]
• It's the battle of the Bravo reality TV stars on Twitter: Bethenny Frankel says Rachel Zoe is "self-important." Zoe claims Frankel is "insane" and "desperate for attention." Of course, you may find it hard to take sides here, since both of them seem to be making perfectly valid points about one another. [NYDN, Jezebel]
• Poor Gwyneth Paltrow suffered a little wardrobe malfunction while going through security at the Barcelona airport yesterday. [Sun]

Spoilers come in many shapes, sizes and colors. And the latest Sex and the City leaks are decidedly lavender. That means gay.

Ryan O'Neal is a creepy man, Billy Joel has a sad over the breakup of his marriage, Jude Law fell for the "I'm on the pill" con, David Beckham is scared of Shaquille O'Neal and Jessica Alba frolics.

"Broadway Bret Michaels" broke his silence tonight regarding his near-decapitation at the Tony Awards. He's feeling fine now, though he thought he'd lose his teeth, and he's upset he missed the afterparties. He also released photos of his beat-up face!

NBC began teasing Rosie Live in prime-time over the weekend, alerting viewers to Rosie O'Donnell's Nov. 26 variety-show experiment by touting a slate of America's most well-recognized holiday-season talent. Alanis Morissette! Kathy Griffin! Ne-Yo! Acrobats! And, in a booking coup loaded with potential for grandeur, onstage collapse and/or both, Liza Minnelli, herself the host of one of TV's all-time great variety specials and a showstopping Rosie idol from way, way back. What to expect? O'Donnell defies you to wait and see:

Gwyneth Paltrow arriving at JFK with her kids, Apple and Moses ... Michelle Williams getting coffee in Brooklyn with daughter Matilda ... Jessica Szohr eating on the set of Gossip Girl in Astoria ... Katie Holmes carrying Suri in Central Park ... Selena Gomez talking to fans outside CBS studios in Midtown ... Sarah Jessica Parker and son James leaving their West Village townhouse ... Mario Lopez bowling ... Liza Minnelli rehearsing for her upcoming show at a studio in Chelsea ... and Kate Bosworth leaving the Beatrice Inn.

• Actress Lindsay Lohan and her deejay girlfriend Samantha Ronson totes got in fight on the Acela train to Washington DC. Supposedly Lindsay, who keeps saying mean things about Sarah Palin, hissed quietly to Sam: "I do what's good for you, not what's best for both of us." [P6]

[Liza Minnelli (who needs no further clarification) performing at Coney Island last night; image via WENN. Oh, and yes. Clay Aiken had a baby today.]

• Anne Hathaway's Italian ex-boyfriend, accused con-man Rafaello Follieri, originally had planned a big spontaneous "vacation" to Italy for his "birthday" Wednesday, but of course he's in jail now, so no "dining patio, huge cellar of expensive wines, pricey pastas and locally caught seafood" for him.

British newspapers keep saying that David Gest, the probably-gay producer and ex-husband of vodka bottle-tossing harridan Liza Minnelli, has herpes. And it's just not true! (Or so says Gest). The peculiar, face-stretched fellow has never had the disease and certainly never said that crazy old Liza with a Z (singer, actress, gurgling legend) gave the disease to him, as was reported. Because, of course Liza didn't give him herpes. That would imply that they'd touched each other's privates. Which, of course, never happened. As they are respectable publications, the papes that printed the stories, The Times and The Independent dutifully printed corrections, one a month or so after the other. So, case closed. But the mystery of Gest's curiously enduring fame in the UK remains. The printed corrections are after the jump.

We rarely like to take a mental walk down memory lane when it comes to the Most Nauseating Celebrity Hookups of all time, but news of the latest addition has unfortunately led us to revisit the grotesque list. We’ve already seen Liza Minelli and Phantom Of The Plastic Surgery Ward David Gest exchange saliva, Star Jones give Al an awkward lap dance and guiltily pleasured ourselves by witnessing wrinkly charmer Hugh Hefner and his thin lips attach themselves to the Girls Next Door. But after reading about one beach yoga-practicing, SUV-abandoning actor known for generally annoying everyone in Hollywood, and one scratchy-voiced “punk” rock chick known for generally hating everyone in Hollywood playing tongue twister in LA this past Tuesday, we may have a winner. The canoodlers in question, and just how far they went, after the jump:

The child of an alcoholic legend, Minnelli is Hollywood royalty, a serial bride, and a total nut.

Your post-5 p.m. cavalcade of weep-inducing good news continues with these five little life-changing words: "Liza Minnelli will sing again." After collapsing during a performance in Sweden, the performer's lawyer, Allen Arrow, wouldn't elaborate on her condition, only to offer a reassuring, "Not to worry," when asked if she was to continue with her current tour. There's still tickets for her next area dates, February 23 and 24 at the "Frank Sinatra Countrywide Celebrity Golf Tournament" in Indian Wells! Catch the legend while you still* can!

· Why doesn't this surprise us: As his ex-wife recovers from a fainting spell, David Gest is standing in the wings, ready to take her place.
· One winner claims The Price is Right is giving away lemons.
· Alec Baldwin pledges to hold the Golden Globes at his place this year, with a deli spread to rival anything those fancypants Wolfgang Puck-types could come up with at the Beverly Hilton.
· "Sources: George Clooney Looking Good"
· Katie Holmes spills all of Tom Cruise's turn-ons to In Style, including the platinum Harry Winston ankle-shackles he had specially made for the couple's first anniversary.

Having given, and given, and given again until she could give no more, Last of the Self-Destructive Showtune Belters Liza Minnelli has collapsed four songs into a performance in Sweden last night:

Being one-upped by 7-year-old Anthony G has proved too much for Liza Minnelli to bear—the singer collapsed onstage while performing a Christmas show in Sweden. "It was a terrible situation. She fell off the side of the stage," a local promoter told SkyNews. "The production manager caught her." He did what? Talk about burying the lede! [SkyNews]

A little more on Liza's victory: Botox receptacle David Gest had his lawsuit versus ex-wife Liza Minnelli thrown out yesterday, and really, all you need to know is this:
