Paula Deen is out of her element.

Instead of a kitchen, the Food Network's Southern-cooking queen was holding court Thursday in a lavish hotel suite. And instead of being home for the holidays in Savannah, Ga., she's ringing in the new year serving as grand marshal of Saturday's Tournament of Roses Parade in Pasadena, Calif.

It's inching closer to Friday night's big event – New Year's Eve – and the stars are already sharing their well wishes and plans for 2011 on Twitter.

Here's what they had to Tweet:

Jeremy Renner was unveiled as "The Avengers" cast member Hawkeye at Comic-Con back in July, but it looks like he'll appear on the big screen as the master bow and arrow wielder much sooner.

Despite reports, Britney Spears' first single off her upcoming 2011 album will not be released on January 7 — but it will be released next month.

What really happens in rehab? And what's the difference between the pricey, private places favored by celebrities and the more affordable options frequented by less famous folks?

The holiday food fest is not over yet! But, that's no excuse for not thinking ahead on how we can eat better in 2011.

Jennifer Aniston and Jessica Alba know the secret of slim eating – thanks to nutritionist Dr. Connie Guttersen.

The stars apparently took the phrase "save the best for last" very literally this month. As 2010 comes to a close, here's a recap of the last few weeks of Hollywood's relationship happenings:

John Mellencamp and his wife are calling it quits.

A spokesman for the 59-year-old rocker says he and his wife of 20 years, model Elaine Mellencamp, are splitting up.

Sweet dreams are made of this for Annie Lennox, honored by Queen Elizabeth II in the monarch's New Year list of awards.

The statuesque Scottish singer, who came to fame in 1980s duo Eurythmics, was named an Officer of the Order of the British Empire, or OBE, for her work with charities fighting AIDS and poverty in Africa. She is an ambassador for development group Oxfam and founded the SING campaign to help women and children with HIV.

Gwyneth Paltrow made a splash covering the censored version of Cee-Lo's late summer hit, "Forget You," on "Glee" a few weeks ago, and now comes word that the two are collaborating.
