True love

The real-life couple, who play hot lovers in the hit HBO vampire series, are getting married, their reps confirm to

People.com

Paquin, 27, publicly debuted her relationship with her dishy co-star, 39, in February, but the pair have reportedly been dating every since they clapped eyes on each other during auditions for the TV series.

Of their on-set hook-up, Moyer said: "The reason it was dodged last year was very intentional on both our parts.

"It was very important to me that the cast and crew we were working with didn't feel it was fickle, and didn't feel it could possibly potentially encroach on their lives, you know, just like, 'Oh the two stars are having a thing.' We didn't want to take anything away from the show."

Paquin, on the other hand, was slightly more pragmatic about things. "It was the worst kept secret on the planet," she quipped when her romance was 'outed'.

British-born Moyer has two children from a previous relationship: 9-year-old son Billy and 7-year-old daughter Lilac.

in the series who is head-over-heels in luuurve with her bloodsucking boyfriend,

Bill Compton

(played by Moyer) - and their engagement will no doubt spice things up even further in the on-screen chemistry department.  The duo are regularly seen indulging in "adult relations" and saucy shenanigans. Talk about hot to trot...

The Oscar and Golden Globe winner recently said of her frequent, racy nude scenes with Moyer: "Obviously, if you're already with that person then you're not having to sort of get over the 'Wow, I'm naked with someone that I don't even know the middle name of!'" said the actress.

As for her fiancé, his feelings for Paquin are laden with the warm fuzzies:

"It's just exciting, and that was there from day one," he said. "We always take the p--- out of each other and are silly with each other, and it is great. We're very, very happy. She's the best.

"There's no one I'd rather work with," he told E! News in June. "I love working with her and that's how it all started, by falling in love on camera."

"My girl is hardcore."

He's not wrong. And she's ours!

Congratulations to the happy couple!

We can feel a song coming on...

All this loved-up talk reminds us of this:

statue is set to go on display in the United States in September.

The life-size statue, created by New York-based artist

Daniel Edwards

, was apparently inspired by Jolie's

W magazine cover

- the one snapped by her fella

Brad Pitt

of her breastfeeding her twinsies.

A spokesperson on behalf of the organisation behind the Jolie piece, said, "We believe the statue sends a beautiful message by promoting the acceptance of public breastfeeding. Mothers should be encouraged to nurture their babies anywhere."

Titillating. But is it art?

They know

Michael Jackson

's family reportedly hold the key to the riddle of the year - what killed the King of Pop?

Jackson family lawyer

Londell McMillan

spoke on the

Today

show this week and said the clan has been given the reults of a private autopsy carried out on the star.

"It is my belief that she [Katherine Jackson] is aware [of the cause of death] at least from one report," he said

“There are several reports happening so we are going to wait for the conclusive evidence and we will be able at some point know the best way to proceed."

Probed on whether he could reveal details of the autopsy, McMillan said: "We will let the results come out in due course."

Jackson's toxicology report is due to be released this week.

Cry a River

Controversial comedienne

Joan Rivers

has slammed

Brooke Shields

for her weepy speech at

Michael Jackson

's memorial, accusing her of exploiting his death to bolster her own career.

The former

Lipstick Jungle

star held back the tears as she eulogised Jackson during the service and paid tribute to her "little prince".

But the acerbic comic has branded Shields a fraud, accusing her of faking her grief to garner column inches.

Rivers told TMZ, "I'd love to roast Brooke Shields. Michael's dearest friend," she said, rolling her eyes. "She hasn't seen him since 1993."

Moving on

Looks like former

Bin of broken dreams

Soul star

Amy Winehouse

's treasured wedding album has been found dumped in a skip, days after her quickie divorce from dreamboat

Blake Fielder-Civil

.

The silk-covered collection of wedding snaps was found in a skip in Kilburn, North London, according to reports.

Rather poignantly, the album is said to be torn with holes where some pictures should be, and in one shot the singer's burgeoning beehive is smeared with a black marker.

“I felt quite sad that it could just be dumped like that," the person who found the album said. "I would like to see Amy get it back. Whatever went on between them, it is your wedding album and you should always keep something like that."

A snitch tells Britain's

Daily Star

: "Amy knew the album was missing and she can only assume Blake dumped it."

The cad.

Quote of the day

"I like people being forward. Gosh, I don’t know. I like strong people, chiseled abs...I don’t know, I take what I can get!"

Pull no punches

Katie Price

(aka

Jordan

) has spilled to Britain's

Glamour

magazine about her acrimonious split from Aussie star Peter Andre.

She basically blames him for the split and for ruining what they had. "I'm not going to lie," she says. "This is not an amicable split. I'm not the one wrecking the marriage."

She also makes no apologies for moving on and dating other men. "I can do what the hell I like now, and if I want to go out and sh** men too, I can."

And finally, she wants us to know she's not letting the negative press about her get her down. "I'm not this broken down lunatic. I'm not going to let it affect me."
