Former "American Idol" standout Kellie Pickler started the year off right with a wedding to songwriter Kyle Jacobs during an intimate, tropical ceremony on New Year's Day. "Private Island. Caribbean. Cigar in one hand, Rum in the other. Someone just called me "Mrs. Jacobs."....sounds nice :)," she tweeted.

When country singer Shania Twain split with her husband of 14 years after she discovered he had an affair with her then-best friend in 2008, little did she know that it was the beginning of her happily ever after. The Canadian songstress formed a bond with the other woman's ex, Frederic Thiebaud, whom she ended up marrying in Puerto Rico on New Year's Day. Does this sound like a Lifetime movie to anyone else?

After going through a messy, high-profile divorce with "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star Camille Grammer, Kelsey Grammer dove right back into marriage with girlfriend Kayte Walsh in NYC on February 25. Although it was his fourth marriage, the "Boss" star pulled out all the stops for the ceremony at the Longacre Theater, where Grammer starred in Broadway's "La Cage aux Folles." Later, guests retreated to the famous Plaza Hotel for a lavish dinner and reception. Do you think the fourth time's a charm for Kelsey?

Technically, "Austin Powers" actor Mike Myers married longtime girlfriend Kelly Tisdale in October 2010 -- but the rest of us only found out about it in March! The couple reportedly exchanged vows in a private ceremony with friends and family in NYC. Talk about an "International Man of Mystery"!

On March 26, Reese Witherspoon, who famously divorced fellow actor Ryan Phillippe in 2006, took the plunge again when she swapped vows with Hollywood agent Jim Toth at her Ojai, California, ranch. As fans might have guessed, Reese opted for a traditional wedding in which she wore a dress designed by Monique Lhuillier and walked down the aisle to the tune of "Here Comes the Bride."

Singer Michael Buble was so excited about his bride, Luisana Lopilato, that he married her three times! The couple held a civil ceremony in March in her native Argentina, then celebrated with 300 friends and family members in another ceremony there on April 2, and topped it off with nuptials before 350 guests in his native Canada the following month. Whew, that's a lot of wedding cake!

Our apologies to a certain reality star, but the union of Kate Middleton and Prince William was hands down the event of the year! An average of 22.8 million people tuned in during the early morning hours of April 29 (beginning at about 3 a.m. Pacific Time!) to watch the royal couple walk down the aisle at Westminster Abbey in London. Were you one of them?

Eddie Cibrian and LeAnn Rimes, who famously left their spouses for each other after meeting on the set of a Lifetime movie in 2009, made their romance official when they tied the knot on April 22. The more than 40 guests invited were told they were going to attend an engagement part. Instead, they witnessed the couple's nuptials at a private home in California.

Just call him the male version of Elizabeth Taylor. Actor Lorenzo Lamas, 53, walked down the aisle for a fifth time in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, on April 30. The lucky bride this time was Shawna Craig, a 24-year-old two years younger than Lorenzo's reality star daughter, Shayne. Anyone care to make a bet on how long this relationship will last?

Aw, it's like a happy ending in an upbeat country song! Singers Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton tied the knot on a ranch near San Antonio, Texas, on May 14. The "Kerosene" gal wore her mother's wedding dress and cowboy boots for the ceremony, which took place in a barn lit by lanterns. The only question was who would provide the entertainment. Since both Lambert and Shelton were a little busy, fellow country crooner Neal McCoy did the honors.

Crooner Keyshia Cole and Cleveland Cavaliers hoopster Daniel Gibson said "I do" in Cleveland, Ohio, on May 21. While most details of the occasion were kept quiet, Gibson did share some of his happiness with fans via Twitter: "So the world ain't end. Not yet... But a brand new world for me and my family has just begun! #Blessed," he wrote.

Johansson was born in New York City. Her father, Karsten Johansson, is a Danish-born architect, and her paternal grandfather, Ejner Johansson, was a screenwriter and director. Her mother, Melanie Sloan, a producer, comes from a Jewish American family from the Bronx. Johansson's parents met in Denmark, where her mother lived with Johansson's maternal grandmother, Dorothy, a former bookkeeper and schoolteacher. Johansson has an older sister, Vanessa, who is also an actress; an older brother, Adrian; a twin brother, Hunter, also an actor; and a half-brother from her father's re-marriage, Christian.
Johansson grew up in a household with "little money". She began her theater training by attending and graduating from Professional Children's School in Manhattan in 2002.
Filmography: Often a young actress will deliver a performance so strong, so mature she is feted as the Next Big Thing. But the description is usually used more in hope than expectation. We all know that many years and many films can pass before she'll live up to her early promise, if indeed she ever does. Early 2004, though, saw the arrival of a young talent who seemed near fully-formed, despite being still in her teens.
