A source tells PEOPLE magazine: “They’re together again. They care for each other. While Chris is reflective and saddened about what happened, he is really happy to be with the woman he loves.”

Chris Brown had been arrested on February 8 on suspicion of making criminal threats against an unidentified woman but has yet to be formally charged with any criminal wrongdoing.

Freida Pinto and Dev Patel, the stars of Slumdog Millionaire, cover the latest issue of Entertainment Weekly, with their EIGHT Academy Awards!

In the issue, the magazine chronicles how the small film from India, helmed by a Brit (Danny Boyle) became an Oscar darling.

“Working on the film has sparked a confidence in me, and a passion for acting,” Patel says. “I feel I can hold my head up high now. I feel like I matured five years in the space of five months. I’m 18 and I was at the Oscars yesterday!”

While Pinto, who can next be seen under the direction of Woody Allen, says of her journey, “Now I think that the fruit of the struggle ends up being the sweetest taste possible. I mean, this is strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, apples, bananas–the sweetest fruits in the world put together. It changed my life!”

Dean Grose, Mayor of Orange County’s Los Alamitos city in California, plans to resign over controversy from a joke email he distributed depicting the White House with rows of watermelons on its front lawn and the caption “No Easter egg hunt this year.”

One of the recipient’s of Grose’s email African American Council member Keyanus Price told the AP, “I honestly don’t even understand where he was coming from, sending this to me. As a black person receiving something like this from the city-freakin’-mayor – come on.”

Grose claimed to be ignorant of the email’s offensive nature saying “Bottom line is, we laugh at things and I didn’t see this in the same light that she did.” “I’m sorry. It wasn’t sent to offend her personally – or anyone – from the standpoint of the African-American race.”

On Wednesday morning Grose found a smashed watermelon on his office doorstep and issued a statement on Thursday saying he will step down as mayor at Monday’s City Council meeting.

This reminds Blindie of those abominable Obama bucks with the pictures of a watermelon, Kool-aid and KFC. Not funny.

Blindie’s a big Gilmore Girls fan and through Twitter we found this on former GG star John Cabrera’s tweet: singer songwriter Kay Pettigrew reworking the Fresh Prince of Bel Air theme song.

Not only does she take away the beat and the rapping, but she totally transforms Will Smith‘s original into a catchy folksy song that Yael Naim or Feist or Regina Spektor would make into a single!

First Lady Michelle Obama has a new look, a new home and some new rules–which she shares with People magazine.

Malia and Sasha may be the world’s most famous kids, but the First Lady doesn’t let them get away from their chores: making their own beds, cleaning their rooms and clearing their dishes.

“People want to make your life easy, and when you have small kids – I’ve explained this to the staff – they don’t need their lives to be easy,” Obama says. “They’re kids.”
