Mark Wahlberg landed his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame yesterday, and brought his wife, model Rhea Durham, and four children with him to celebrate. Photos showed Wahlberg looking dapper and smiley during the momentous occasion.

"I'm so happy my kids are sitting through this," Wahlberg said, according to the BBC. "When I heard I was getting this star, I felt like it was a practical joke." The 39-year-old actor's childen, from left to right, are Ella Rae, Grace Margaret, Brendan Joseph and Michael.

Less than a day after Ellen DeGeneres announced her 'American Idol' departure, TMZ is reporting Kara DioGuardi has "been fired," citing sources connected with the shows negotiations for next season, which will mark the singing competition's tenth installment.

"We're told the show will be going back to a three-judge format and assuming all deals are finalized, the judge's panel will consist of Randy Jackson, Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler," TMZ writes, adding Kara's only chance to stay onboard is "if the J-Lo deal falls apart -- but we're told that deal is done."

While reports have claimed cushy conditions for Lindsay Lohan in jail, her mother , Dina Lohan, says it ain't so -- and that LiLo doesn't even have a pillow.

"She doesn't have cell phone privileges, that's absurd. She doesn't even have a pillow to sleep on," Dina told RadarOnline.com yesterday. "I talk to her through glass. There's a phone and we put her on speaker but I can't even hug my daughter. She's treated like a common criminal."

That said, Dina did admit the guards and inmates have been "pretty cool" to Lindsay.

In March, Jennifer Love Hewitt and Jamie Kennedy called it quits after a year of dating and lots of public affection.

'She's so into him," a pal of the 31-year-old actress reveals to the magazine. 'It's relatively new," the source adds.

After just one season, Ellen DeGeneres is bowing out as a judge on the hit show, 'American Idol,' FOX announced in a statement Thursday. After the statement was released, DeGeneres Tweeted, "Dim the lights ... I've voted myself off American Idol."

"A couple months ago, I let FOX and the 'American Idol' producers know that this didn't feel like the right fit for me," DeGeneres said in the FOX statement. "I told them I wouldn't leave them in a bind and that I would hold off on doing anything until they were able to figure out where they wanted to take the panel next.

"It was a difficult decision to make, but my work schedule became more than I bargained for. I also realized this season that while I love discovering, supporting and nurturing young talent, it was hard for me to judge people and sometimes hurt their feelings. I loved the experience working on 'Idol' and I am very grateful for the year I had. I am a huge fan of the show and will continue to be."

Angelina Jolie has lived a life of contradictions. Now a goodwill ambassador and one of the world's most celebrated actresses, she's blessed with six beautiful children (and one Brad Pitt), but she was once also a heroin addict from a shattered home who went on to steal other women's husbands. This -- and so much more -- according to the forthcoming bombshell tell-all about the actress, 'Angelina: An Unauthorized Biography,' by the master of such celebrity dirt-fests, Andrew Morton.

Leaked excerpts from the book are fueling so much hype that publisher St. Martin's Press has moved up its release date from Aug. 3 to July 31, says USA Today.

Some people associate actor John Hamm with his philandering character on 'Mad Men,' Don Draper. But in a new interview with Parade Magazine, he clears up any misconception--while he might not want to get married any time soon, he only has eyes for girlfriend, actress Jennifer Westfeldt.

"I don't have the marriage chip, and neither of us have the greatest examples of marriages in our families. But Jen is the love of my life, and we've already been together four times longer than my parents were married," the dapper TV star tells Parade.

In the interview, Hamm also talks about his show, what it was like losing his parents at such a young age and what it was like before his big break. More excerpts from the interview after the jump.
