Nicholas Sparks has given us plenty of couples to fall in love with over the years: Noah and Allie, John and Savannah … and now, Alex and Katie. They are the latest to heat up the screen in a film adaptation of Sparks’ book, “Safe Haven,” starring Josh Duhamel and Julianne Hough – and omg! has two exclusive shots from the movie, which will hit theaters on February 8. In it, Duhamel plays a widower with two young children who is struggling to raise them on his own, while the former “Dancing With the Stars” pro portrays a young women who moves to a small North Carolina town with a dark secret. Naturally, the two fall in love.

But “Safe Haven” is not your typical romance flick. Duhamel, 39, tells omg! the characters are both pretty complicated, which was a real challenge to him as an actor. “When I first read the script and the book, I thought ‘What am I going to do with this guy? He’s too perfect,’” he explains. “And so we really just worked hard on making him feel human. He’s

Flav's mug shot. (Getty)Flavor Flav must be a public enemy in his own home. The clock-wearing hype man was arrested early this morning in Las Vegas after he allegedly threatened his fiancee’s teenage son with a knife. According to police, it all began when Flav, 53, and Liz Trujillo got into a heated argument, and her son intervened in defense of his mother. After the boy and Flav scrapped, Trujillo called 911. Police arrested Flav around 3 a.m. and booked him on two charges: felony assault with a deadly weapon and misdemeanor domestic violence. Eight hours later, he posted $23,000 bail and was released.

Wednesday morning’s incident marks the second time police were called to Flav’s home for a domestic dispute this year alone. On January 28, his 19-year-old daughter Dazayna, one of his seven kids, was arrested after she got into a physical altercation with one of her stepbrothers. When the “Flavor of Love” star tried to break it up, Dazayna clocked her own father.

Garth and Bynes in 2004. (Michael Caulfield/WireImage)Six years after playing Amanda Bynes' big sister on the WB series “What I Like About You,” Jennie Garth is still acting out that role. The newly single actress revealed on the red carpet Monday night that she has been trying to get in contact with her former co-star ever since her public meltdown began earlier this year, but “I haven’t been able to reach her,” Garth told Us Weekly. “My heart feels for whatever she is going through and I love her dearly."

Garth, 40, isn’t the only person the 26-year-old has shut out. Bynes fled to New York City in late September immediately after her parents uprooted their lives in Texas and moved to Los Angeles to be close to their very troubled daughter. It’s unclear if they followed her to the Big Apple. Although Bynes has not been photographed for a few weeks, early images of her in NYC showed her wandering the streets alone. On September 26, she locked herself in a bathroom at Little Cupcake Bakeshop in SoHo for 30 minutes and ignored the pleas

Bubba and Hulk. (Getty Images)With friends like these, who needs enemies? Hulk Hogan announced today that he is suing his longtime pal, radio disc jockey Bubba the Love Sponge, for secretly videotaping him having sex with Bubba’s wife Heather Clem in 2006 while he was still married to Linda Hogan. A copy of the 30-minute intimate act was sent to Gawker.com, which published an edited 90-second snippet on its site October 4. Although it’s unclear how much the pro wrestler (real name: Terry Bollea) wants from Bubba, he is also suing Gawker for $100 million.

In the lawsuit, Hogan, 59, states he "had a reasonable expectation of privacy in his consensual, intimate activities in a private bedroom and reasonably believed that his privacy was safe and protected." His attorney adds that Bubba and Heather Clem’s actions were “illegal, outrageous, and exceeded the bounds of human decency."

Bubba has adamantly denied he had any involvement in the taping or distribution of the sex tape between his best friend and his wife,

Lohan and Walters. (WireImage)When was the last time Barbara Walters sat down for an exclusive hour-long interview with an actress to talk about her Lifetime made-for-TV movie? Well, she will be doing exactly that with Lindsay Lohan for what is being called a “no holds barred, no questions off-limits” conversation to promote the Elizabeth Taylor biopic, “Liz & Dick.” The trouble-prone actress "has a lot of respect and admiration for her,” a source tells “Access Hollywood,” “and knows the interview will be done accurately and fairly” – which in Lohan speak means she expects softball questions that will allow her to portray herself as a victim.

There are certainly tons of questions Walters can ask Lohan about stemming from her many arrests, drug and alcohol addictions, failed film career, and money issues. While we hope that the respected journalist takes LiLo to task for her many, many mishaps over the years, we’d like her to at least cover the headline-grabbing incidents from 2012 alone!

Lohan on Thursday. (Rob Latour/Splash News)Lindsay Lohan never ceases to amaze. But on Thursday night, she did so not because she got her third DUI or had another fight with her mother – she announced she will be voting for Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney. Why? "I just think employment is really important right now," the actress, who often finds herself without work, explained on the pink carpet at the Mr. Pink’s Ginseng Drink event in L.A. “So, as of now, Mitt Romney. As of now.” So does that mean her vote could change come election day?

Three days earlier, the 26-year-old tweeted that the public would soon “hear my thoughts on our next president” – as if we had been eagerly awaiting it. In early September, after the first presidential debate, Lohan went on a Twitter rampage, during which she tweeted none other than Barack Obama asking him to consider tax breaks “for those that are listed on Forbes as 'millionaires' if they are not,” although it’s unclear what she exactly meant by that (she later deleted the

Battle of the bling: Kate vs Bobbi Kristina. (WireImage/Twitter)Update on October 12: Bobbi Kristina Brown's rep denies that the teen and Nick Gordon are engaged, but adds, "You have to watch the show!"

---------------------------------------------------

It’s a ring fit for a princess! So it makes sense that it should decorate the fingers of both Kate Middleton and the daughter of the “Queen of the Night,” Whitney Houston. It was revealed today that Bobbi Kristina Brown, 19, is indeed engaged to Nick Gordon, who the late singer raised as her son. On Twitter, Bobbi Kristina posted a photo of the bling her 22-year-old beau gave her: a 15-carat sapphire stunner surrounded by 1.5 carats of diamonds that may look a little familiar … like the one that adorns the hand of Prince William’s wife!

“It’s a definite copy of her ring,” Anthony Sarkissian of Premier Jewelry Lenders in Beverly Hills tells omg!. “The shape of the stone, the way it’s set, having it made in platinum, the thinness of the shank … it’s a carbon copy of [Kate’s ring].”

Hulk Hogan on Tuesday. (Splash News)What’s a little wife-borrowing amongst friends? Hulk Hogan has admitted that he did appear in the sex tape that is making its way around the web, and that his buxom brunette co-star is none other than Heather Clem, the now-ex-wife of his best friend, radio disc jockey Bubba the Love Sponge.

In an interview with Howard Stern on Tuesday morning, the pro wrestler revealed that his good pal did indeed allow him to have sex with his wife in 2006 as things were falling apart with his now ex, Linda Hogan. “I considered both people close friends,” Hogan explained to Stern, after the shock jock joked that it “was awfully nice” of Bubba to offer up his lady love. “There was ongoing dialogue over two years about this. I said, ‘Honestly, give me a break, stop, you’re joking.’ It was almost to a point of being funny. And then when I bottomed out, when my whole personal life was, you know, I was in a bad situation with … I knew my marriage was really screwed up bad … verbal and mental abuse.”
