2010 was filled with quite a few celebrity heartbreaks, but we're happy to see that 2011 is off to a hopeful and loving start!

Sherri Shepherd received the ultimate Christmas gift from boyfriend Lamar Sally. According to People, Sally popped the question to 'The View' and 'Newlywed Game' host the day after Christmas, but not before asking Shepherd's 5-year-old son, Jeffery, for permission.

"Upon arriving back to Lamar's home in Los Angeles from a trip to San Diego, Shepherd was surprised to find their accommodations had been decorated with lights by one of Sal's best friends, her dog was wearing a Santa beard and hat, and in the middle of a dish of Sherri's favorite but forbidden M&M's (she is diabetic) was a tiny little box," her rep told People.

The couple -- who have been dating for more than a year -- were introduced by the fiancé of Shepherd's good friend Niecy Nash. The two plan to tie the knot during August in Shepherd's hometown of Chicago.

From the Frisky:
Judge Lynn Toler has practiced law for more than two decades, but her legal career has led her down a path few of her peers have traveled. She was elected judge of the Cleveland Heights Municipal Court at the age of 33, and while on the bench, she worked with several organizations focusing on battered women and domestic violence. In 2001, Judge Toler became the host of "Power of Attorney," but you probably know her best as the judge on 'Divorce Court,' a position she's held since 2006.

Now, I'd be lying if I didn't say I questioned Judge Toler's abilities when I noticed my beloved Judge Mablean Ephraim was no longer on the 'Divorce Court' bench. But I quickly realized that Judge Toler heard her cases with genuine concern and interest, and offered insight and practical solutions, when possible, for the couples' problems. She truly is a fair and impartial counselor. So I was really excited to speak with Judge Toler who, along with having an extensive legal and academic career, has also written two books, 'My Mother's Rules: A Practical Guide to Becoming an Emotional Genius' and 'Put It in Writing!: Creating Agreements Between Family and Friends', co-authored with Deborah Hutchison.

From Madame Noire
With the news of Eva Longoria and Tony Parker's divorce heating up the tabloids (even though their actual marriage was about as interesting as a can of Tab), rumor has it that the baller cheated on his wife with the wife of one of his teammates. Now, that's putting the 'T" in "trifling" right there, you won't hear me contesting that. However, I do take issue with the fact the chorus of men who are moaning about the infidelity of the team player's wife, as if it's somehow worse because she's a woman.

Does the fact that this to-be-named woman cheated on her husband with his colleague make it a more bitter pill to swallow? Oh, absolutely. But to act as if a woman's infidelity is somehow worse because of her gender? I can't. Here are a few things I submit for consideration when it comes to this whole cheating thing.

Although Tyrese Gibson has worn many hats in his long career -- model, singer and actor -- we never thought we'd add couples' counselor to the list. However, on a recent episode of VH1's 'LaLa's Full Court Wedding,' Gibson was found doing just that to soon-to-be-married LaLa Vazquez.

While discussing her upcoming marriage to Carmelo Anthony, Gibson decided to give his longtime friend a few words of wisdom regarding marriage and the company she keeps.

"Why are you not hanging out with married women, that have been married for a long time?" asked Gibson. "You can't be in the spirit of being married hanging out with all these single people. I'm not telling you to get rid of all your single friends, but they're not on the same space that you're in."

Could Gibson be referring to BFFs Kim Kardashian, Serena Williams and Kelly Rowland? The Hollywood clique has become a paparazzi staple in L.A. and are constantly spotted around town dining out.

Fortunately, Vazquez didn't take the advice as an attack on her friends.

"After thinking about everything that Tyrese said, he does make a lot of sense on a lot of things," said Vazquez. "Marriage is definitely a big deal."

He may have a point, but last time we checked, Tyrese wasn't married either.

Is Mel B. headed toward Splitsville?

The British tabloid the Mirror has reported that the British beauty's husband, Stephen Belafonte, is ready to call his nearly-three-year marriage quits. Belafonte allegedly called up a reporter from the publication to discuss his marital woes with Brown, saying, "Dude, it's over. Mel's coming back to the UK soon – but I won't be coming with her."

A close friend of the singer says the couple hasn't been happy for a long time. "Mel's been talking about getting out. They're still talking to see if things can be worked out. But she's making plans to come back to the UK on a more permanent basis. Stephen hasn't been mentioned as joining her and has been consulting lawyers."

Tiger Woods and Elin Nordgren are officially no more. According to People, the couple finalized their divorce in a Panama City, FL courtroom Monday morning.

"We are sad that our marriage is over and we wish each other the very best for the future," they said in a statement released by Nordegren's Virginia-based law firm of McGuireWoods. "While we are no longer married, we are the parents of two wonderful children and their happiness has been, and will always be, of paramount importance to both of us."

The exact settlement details have yet to be disclosed but reports claim Elin could have received anywhere from $100 to $500 million in assets from Woods. The couple will both be sharing custody of their two children, Sam Alexis, 3 and Charlie Axel, 18 months. The couple was required to take a 4-hour parenting course prior to finalizing their divorce.

Although Elin signed a prenuptial agreement, sources say that the terms were renegotiated after Woods' sex scandal surfaced.

While most of America was fixated on the extravagant wedding of former first daughter Chelsea Clinton, two of the music industry's most prominent couples opted for more understated nuptials.

Rapper Clifford "T.I." Harris and longtime girlfriend Tameka "Tiny" Cottle officially became husband and wife in a Miami courtroom on Friday, according to TMZ.

Us Magazine reports that the newlyweds went on to throw a lavish wedding ceremony on the private Star Island in Miami on Saturday night. The couple was joined by family and close friends including Jamie Foxx, El DeBarge, Usher, Nelly, Ashanti, Angela Simmons and Bow Wow. Tiny's BET co-star Antonia "Toya" Carter, singer Monica and Kandi Burruss served as bridesmaids.
