    HOLLYWOOD, Nov. 1, 2000 -- If you happened to catch MTV's "Total Request Live" this week , you may have noticed a special little twinkle in host Carson Daly's eye. That's because the veejay/teen heartthrob is engaged to actress Tara Reid ("American Pie," "Dr. T and the Women"), his girlfriend of eight months. The proposal happened Sunday in New York City, where the pair share an apartment. It's a definite high for Daly's well-publicized love life, which bottomed out last September when Jennifer

    SANTA MONICA, Calif., May 4, 2000 -- So, did you hear that hot rumor about Christina Aguilera? Or did you just listen to the new Eminem cut? Yes, leave it to Eminem, alter-ego Slim Shady, to give social commentary a bad name. The hip-hop phenomenon, whose irreverent 1999 debut album "Slip Shady LP" won over suburban kids and industry moguls alike, is courting trouble again with the unapologetically scathing lyrics on his forthcoming album "The Marshall Mathers LP," due out May 23. The track in

    SANTA MONICA, CALIF., Feb. 16, 2000 -- Courtney Thorne-Smith and Gil Bellows certainly prove to have much more in common than the estranged couple they portray on "Ally McBeal." That's right. While news of Bellows' defection from the legal-eagle sitcom Friday still burns hot on the consciousness of the show's execs and producers, another "McBeal" veteran has apparently announced her intention to bow out at the end of the third season. And the said deserter is none other than Courtney Thorne-S
