Dressed in a sweater, leggings and boots, the E! reality TV star carefully handled the portable car seat where newborn Mason lay.

Expressing thoughts via her website Kourt recently posted, “Having Mason in my life is the most amazing, indescribable thing that’s ever happened to me. I am so in love with him and love having my own little family with Scott and Mason.”

As far as an engagement between Kourtney and Scott goes, younger sister Kim, cleared up the rumors yesterday during a radio interview, telling, “They are not engaged to be married. I don’t think Kourtney really is thinking about that right now. She’s not really focused on getting married.”

Getting back to work on her hit CW drama, Blake Lively was busy on the set of “Gossip Girl” in New York City on Tuesday (January 12).

Decked out in her stylish attire, the Serena van der Woodsen sweetheart boogied on down Madison Avenue as the cameras followed her every move.

Aside from her “Gossip Girl” work, Blake recently filmed the upcoming Ben Affleck directed movie “The Town” in Boston, MA.

Talking about Blake’s audition, Ben recalls, “This girl came in, and no one had said to me beforehand, ‘Hey, look for this person.’ And obviously she was really attractive, and so I thought, Oh, here comes some blond girl. She came in, did one reading, and just crushed it.”

Continuing with his praise, Affleck also mentioned being impressed with her east coast accent, telling, “I was sort of stunned. I said, ‘Jeez, you know, that was really f—king good. Who are you?’ She didn’t mention that she was on a television show.”

Usually full of laughter, Conan O’Brien is dead serious about not hosting The Tonight Show if it is moved to 12:05 am.

NBC announced that they will be moving The Jay Leno Show to 11:35 pm in March and moving O’Brien’s Tonight Show back 30 minutes. Leno was okay with it, however O’Brien was not.

He writes:

People of Earth:

In the last few days, I’ve been getting a lot of sympathy calls, and I want to start by making it clear that no one should waste a second feeling sorry for me. For 17 years, I’ve been getting paid to do what I love most and, in a world with real problems, I’ve been absurdly lucky. That said, I’ve been suddenly put in a very public predicament and my bosses are demanding an immediate decision.

Six years ago, I signed a contract with NBC to take over The Tonight Show in June of 2009. Like a lot of us, I grew up watching Johnny Carson every night and the chance to one day sit in that chair has meant everything to me. I worked long and hard to get that opportunity, passed up far more lucrative offers, and since 2004 I have spent literally hundreds of hours thinking of ways to extend the franchise long into the future. It was my mistaken belief that, like my predecessor, I would have the benefit of some time and, just as important, some degree of ratings support from the prime-time schedule. Building a lasting audience at 11:30 is impossible without both.

But sadly, we were never given that chance. After only seven months, with my Tonight Show in its infancy, NBC has decided to react to their terrible difficulties in prime-time by making a change in their long-established late night schedule.

Last Thursday, NBC executives told me they intended to move the Tonight Show to 12:05 to accommodate the Jay Leno Show at 11:35. For 60 years the Tonight Show has aired immediately following the late localnews. I sincerely believe that delaying the Tonight Show into the next day to accommodate another comedy program will seriously damage what I consider to be the greatest franchise in the history of broadcasting. The Tonight Show at 12:05 simply isn’t the Tonight Show. Also, if I accept this move I will be knocking the Late Night show, which I inherited from David Letterman and passed on to Jimmy Fallon, out of its long-held time slot. That would hurt the other NBC franchise that I love, and it would be unfair to Jimmy.

So it has come to this: I cannot express in words how much I enjoy hosting this program and what an enormous personal disappointment it is for me to consider losing it. My staff and I have worked unbelievably hard and we are very proud of our contribution to the legacy of The Tonight Show. But I cannot participate in what I honestly believe is its destruction. Some people will make the argument that with DVRs and the Internet a time slot doesn’t matter. But with the Tonight Show, I believe nothing could matter more.

There has been speculation about my going to another network but, to set the record straight, I currently have no other offer and honestly have no idea what happens next. My hope is that NBC and I can resolve this quickly so that my staff, crew, and I can do a show we can be proud of, for a company that values our work.

Have a great day and, for the record, I am truly sorry about my hair; it’s always been that way.

Yours, Conan

From vampires to spiders, Robert Pattinson has been reported to be the top pick for Tobey Maguire’s replacement in Spider Man 4.

The next movie is said to focus on Peter Parker in high school and Robert Pattinson might be the one to do so, although he is busy away working on Bel Ami with Uma Thurman in February and will continue the sagas for Twilight.

The competition will be huge for this role and may also include Michael Cera and Chace Crawford.

Of moving on from the role, Maguire recently told press: “Beyond the films themselves, I have formed some deep and lasting friendships. I am excited to see the next chapter unfold in this incredible story.”

Out and about in sunny California, Reese Witherspoon was spotted arriving at a studio in Hollywood on Tuesday (January 12).

The “Sweet Home Alabama” babe looked super cute in a blue cardigan and vintage-style dress, showing off her tone, lean legs.

In other news, she’s no stranger to the Golden Globes and this year, Reese is set to present an award at the annual shin-dig which takes place on Sunday, January 17th.

Tending to press obligations, Evangeline Lilly was all smiles at the 2010 Winter TCA Tour at the Langham Hotel in Pasadena, California on Tuesday (January 12).

Always attracting viewers, she and her “Lost” co-stars have filmed nine episodes of their 18-hour, 16-week final season - but they aren’t ready to party.

During the press tour, Josh Holloway, who plays Sawyer, said, “There’s a lot of camaraderie on th set. There’s a lot of magic. It’s like the first season…It’s been fabulous.”

What will he be doing next on the scene? “I’m retiring,” he joked. “I’m only doing conventions.”

But other cast members are having more trouble such as Miss Lilly, who plays Kate, as she tells, “ I am going to cry like a baby.”

Elisabetta Canalis is living the dream many ladies desire - on the arm of boyfriend George Clooney.

While Clooney was being honored as Best Actor for Up in the Air and Fantastic Mr. Fox, the 31-year-old squealed during the New York Film Critics Circle Awards interview, “Yes, I love it.”

And does she enjoy the charm just as much as everyone else? “Yes, of course,” she answered.

“She’s homely,” Clooney comically chimed in. “But what do you do?”

George carried on his charm, joking on stage, “I got the chicken about five minutes ago, so I’m Mariah Carey f---ed up right now.”

Later taking the stage to accept his Best Actor award, he added, “I’m not drunk anymore. I’m gonna be good.”

Meanwhile, Katy wrote to Russell last Friday, “Hey @rustyrockets - i heard ur prego-ed. I WANT IN AND OUT. I love you … (awwwww barf!).”
