Jennifer Aniston has reportedly been overheard telling friends that she would marry Justin Theroux by the end of the year.

The Wanderlust actress apparently joked at a pre-Oscars party on Feb 24, that she and Theroux would split without an imminent proposal, adding that they had brought a dog into their home as "a test run for kids".

"We're constantly laughing," The Mirror quotes her as saying, "Now we've got our new baby things are getting serious."

"We have new responsibilities. (The dog is) like a test run for kids, I guess, although hopefully kids are easier to house-train.

"Things are fabulous, I'm happy. If he's not got down on one knee or we're not married, by the end of the year, it's over."

A friend of Aniston said: "Jennifer has never been so happy romantically. She and Justin have discussed their long-term future and both agreed that they love the idea of settling down. "The onus now is on Justin to pop the question."

Aniston and Theroux were first romantically linked in May 2011.

Actress Lucy Lawless will spend Friday night chained to a New Zealand drilling ship with a group of Greenpeace activists after police decided against removing the protesters.

The former Xena: Warrior Princess star was among a group of seven campaigners who climbed aboard the vessel, which is docked in Taranaki, New Zealand, on Friday to protest against oil drilling in the Arctic.

They have vowed not to leave until the Noble Discoverer's mission is called off.

Police were called to the scene and five officers boarded the boat, but they decided against removing the protesters amid safety fears, according to Stuff.co.nz.

One man, who was not on the ship, was arrested at the entrance to the port, while Lawless and the other campaigners are also facing detention, but Inspector Blair Telford has confirmed cops currently have no plans to remove them from the vessel.

He says, "Although the protesters are breaking the law by being aboard the ship, they are in an isolated location on the ship which allows both the port and the ship to operate their normal business.

"We have considered various options and we have the skills, capabilities and equipment to deal with all options. However safety remains paramount and we won't needlessly jeopardise the safety of our staff, the crew of the ship or the protesters."

A member of the group tells the website, "The guys are well equipped and have enough food to last a couple of days and gear to protect them from the weather. We don't plan to leave until Shell agrees to stay out of the Arctic."

Scottish actor Gerard Butler has spent the last three weeks in rehab to address substance abuse issues, according to a U.S. report.

The star allegedly started struggling with pain medication as he battled to recover from injuries he suffered on the set of 2006 movie 300 and his problems were exacerbated after he was hurt in a surfing accident during filming of his latest project, Of Men and Mavericks.

He checked himself into the Betty Ford clinic in California three weeks ago to address his addiction issues, according to TMZ.com, and is now due to be released.

Butler, 42, has been open about his previous issues with alcohol as he gave up boozing at the age of 27 after realising his habit had spiralled out of control.

He previously said, "It's been years now and it's like it never happened. I can't remember drinking. When I stopped I would look at a beer and think how great it would be. I'd get this pang in my stomach to go back out and have fun, but then I'd remember that I used up that right - that I did a full life worth of drinking between 14 and 27. That I'd done enough drinking for half a dozen people. Now I have no connection with it."

Adele just went M.I.A. An angry Adele gave the middle finger at the Brit Awards for music Tuesday night in London, two weeks after rapper M.I.A. gave the same obscene gesture at the Super Bowl halftime show. It happened as Adele, 23, was picking up the best album award to go with her solo female honor and was giving her acceptance speech. "I am so proud to be British and to be flying the flag," she was saying when host James Cordon interrupted her to introduce 90s British pop band Blur.The crowd booed and Adele digitally expressed herself.

It has been reported that Kim Kardashian’s publicist had made arrangements for her to go on a date with basketball sensation Jeremy Lin.

Kim K has denied this claim and so has the New York Knicks’ point guard, who simply said: “I’m not that type of guy”. Ouch!

According to a friend of the reality TV star, Kim K finds Lin "cute".

And although the Harvard graduate is indeed single, the 23-year-old told New York Post recently that his ideal girlfriend has to "really love God and be a faithful Christian, and then after that I think, a desire to serve other people, to help with the underprivileged, do a lot of social work . . . great personality and easy to be around. Someone that’s definitely chill, low key, low maintenance."
