Sir Nighty Knight

Bettys, we'd like to introduce you to someone. His name is Sir Nighty Knight, and he is-in his own words, of course-indescribably magnificent. As Knight of The Kids Table, Keeper of the Magic Word, Member of The Order of Snooz, and general do-gooder, Sir Nighty Knight is the quintessential knight in shining armor-but right now, he needs YOUR help!

Sir Nighty Knight, you see, is the creation of Mark and Lee Fullerton, the two brothers who make up the Pixel Boy Studio. Illustrators by trade, Mark and Lee came up with the exciting idea to develop a 22-page interactive picture book app intended for children aged one to four. Sir Nighty Knight is, of course, the star of their story. Together with their programming friend Dan Newman and writer David Sherman, the

Julie Benz Rich Orosco

Looks like another celeb just walked down the aisle! On Saturday, Dexter and Buffy the Vampire Slayer alum Julie Benz tied the knot with Rich Orosco, her marketing executive boyfriend of four years. Congratulations to the happy couple!

Julie and Rich have been engaged since June of last year-a proposal which included an $80,000, 3-carat Kwiat engagement ring (yowza!). According to People, they wed at 6pm on May 5 at the historic John Sowden house in Los Angeles' Los Feliz neighborhood. But it was no ordinary wedding: In honor of Cinco de Mayo and Rich's Mexican heritage, they threw a Mexican-themed bash.

For those of you unfamiliar with the John Sowden house, it's a pretty distinctive locale; known as the Jaws House, it looks not unlike the toothsome mouth of a great white shark:

Celeb moms

In honor of the occasion, we've rounded up our 10 favorite celebrity moms and why we love them. From Jennifer Garner to Tina Fey, we think these ladies are the cat's pajamas! Did we miss your favorite famous mother? Tell us about her in the comments!

Happy Mother's Day, everyone!

1. Jennifer Garner

Jennifer Garner

In case you haven't already noticed from the frequency with which I write about her, Jennifer Garner is by far my favorite celebrity mom. Why? Mostly because she doesn't really seem like a celebrity mom. She's just a mom, and she loves her kids and her family, and it

The Kentucky Derby, held at the famed race course the Churchill Downs, is known as the first step for racehorses to achieve the Triple Crown. It's also famed for mint juleps, Derby parties and hats. Oh the hats! When you place celebrities like Debra Messing, Cyndi Lauper and Erin Andrews in hats, sometimes it works and sometimes, well, it just looks like a bad joke.

Here are our 10 best and worst celebrity hats and the people who wore them.

Take one pair of summery yellow shorts and you can create three completely three different outfits.

Bright colors are big for spring and summer. When you're shopping, you can be intimidated by an item that may not appear to go with the rest of your wardrobe, right? Okay, we've all been there. To prove that you won't be stuck all spring and summer pairing the same items over and over again, we took the Mavi Tiara low rise cuffed shorts ($78, zappos.com) in pineapple and gave it three different looks, three different vibes.

So the next time you're out shopping, remember that you really can pair one item with almost everything you own.

Images from Lindsay Lohan's upcoming episode of Glee have hit the web. Will she sink or swim?

Lindsay Lohan Glee 1

Remember back in March when it was announced that Lindsay Lohan would be guest starring on Glee as herself? Well, her episode, "Props/Nationals," is now only a week away from its air date-where does the time go?-so guess what that means? That's right: Pictures! And not just random on-set pictures-images from the special two-hour episode itself. In addition to the image featured above, we've also gotten a peek at Lindsay here:

Lindsay Lohan Glee 2

And here, with fellow guest star Rex Lee (who I will always think of as Mr. Wolfe on Suburgatory):

Lindsay Lohan Glee 3

What's going on here? We're not really sure, but we do know that these images are from this season's Nationals. Attempting to re-seize their title after last season's upset, the vocal superstars of McKinley High will be going up against their nemesis, Vocal Adrenaline, before a panel of judges that includes LiLo,

Princess Merida of the upcoming Pixar flick 'Brave' has started making appearances at Disney World-and not a moment too soon!

Princess Merida IRL

We've spoken many a time here at BettyConfidential about how psyched we are for the cinematic debut of Merida, the upcoming Pixar film Brave's warrior princess extraordinaire. We're still not sure why it took Pixar so long to develop a film with a female lead, but Merida is all kinds of awesome, so if we had to wait so long, at least we were waiting for something good! And hey, guess what? The arrow-shooting princess has started making appearances at Disney World!

Though her official meet-and-greet location isn't quite ready yet-rumor has it that if all goes well, it will open later in the month-the flame-haired Scot has begun showing up at Disney World's EPCOT park for a few test runs. She's mostly been a roaming character, taking visitors by surprise and engaging in a bit of lively banter. Want to see some videos
