June 19th is right around the corner, and if you’re anything like me you have no clue what to get that special father in your life…whether he be your dad, your husband or your son. Luckily, looking to the stars of Tinseltown we can get some great ideas for the upcoming holiday!

This Father’s Day, make him feel like HE’S the celebrity in your life by spoiling him with one of these amazing gifts! Here’s my Top 5 Best Celebrity-Inspired Gifts for Father’s Day.

#5: The Apple iPad 2 – the follow up to Apple’s best selling iPad, the iPad two is a sleeker, faster and more powerful update to the best selling tablet in history.

There is a reason people lined up for hours waiting for the opportunity to shell out a few hundred dollars on this amazing little device: it’s flat out incredible. Dad can use it to surf the internet, follow his favorite sports team, watch his favorite movies and television shows and a whole lot more.

From David Letterman (who used an iPad during one of his famous top 10 lists on the Late Show) to the guy next door, the iPad 2 will give any dad countless hours of enjoyment! Be sure to add a case to protect this pricey Father’s Day gift — my personal favorite is the Otterbox Defender series because it’s like wrapping your iPad in tank armor!

#4: Vegas, baby, Vegas! What man wouldn’t want a nice weekend in Vegas with his buddies ala Vince Vaughn and Jon Favreau in Swingers?

For that hard working dad in your life, a weekend with him and his boys in beautiful Las Vegas (or Atlantic City or the Mohegan Sun should you be East of the Mississippi) would be an excellent gift! Reliving the glory days over a craps table, eating too much at a buffet or just catching some rays poolside should be just the thing to recharge dad’s batteries.

My personal picks for hotels in Sin City are THEhotel by Mandalay Bay and the MGM Grand Signature. Each and every time I have stayed at either I have run into the likes of Toby Keith, John Legend and more!

#3: Ray Ban Wayfarers Slipping these on will send any dad straight back to the 80s, in a good way! Made famous by Tom Cruise in Risky Business, the wayfarer can be seen all over the country, being worn by the young and young at heart.

These sunglasses stand up to the test of time for a reason: they are very aesthetically pleasing and do an excellent job at blocking the sun. With summer right around the corner, these would make any dad quite the happy camper!

#2: Canon EOS Rebel T3 Let dad channel his inner paparazzo with the new Canon EOS Rebel T3 Digital SLR camera. Boasting incredible picture quality, as well as high definition video recording capability, this affordable DSLR does it all, at a price that won’t break the bank.

Rumor has it that the T3 is a particular favorite of young Hollywood, and with all the amazing options that if offers, it’s easy to see why!

#1: The Mangrate This piece of cast iron goodness was devised by an engineer who made weapons grade cases for military computers. With celebrity endorsements from Adam Carolla, Kevin Smith, Larry Miller and Ralph Garman, the Mangrate promises a better grilling experience than any other charcoal grill can offer.

Having tested the product myself, I can say that eating a steak cooked on the Mangrate is an experience, and any dad who enjoys a great barbecue will love the Mangrate for Father’s Day and every day after! To find out more visit www.Mangrate.com.

All of us here at Positively Celebrity hope that our dads, and every dad out there has a wonderful Father’s Day! Let us know exactly what you’re getting that special patriarch in your life in the comments below.

Actor Vince Vaughn’s low-profile relationship with girlfriend Kayla Weber is hush-hush no more!

According to msnbc.com, Vaughan, 38, got down on one knee and popped the question with a four-carat, $125,000 ring on Valentine’s Day. 

Vaughn’s romance with Weber, a Calgary realtor, follows his previous high-profile relationship with actress Jennifer Aniston, which ended in 2006.

The leaves have fallen, the snow’s on its way and so are the season’s Oscar-worthy movies and holiday fare to take you through that long, delicious Thanksgiving dinner and those countless Christmas songs on the radio.

Slumdog Millionaire (Nov. 12) The newest film from genre-shifting Danny Boyle is about a man (Dev Patel) participates on the Indian version of “Who Wants to be a Millionaire.” Pieces of his life – including the story of his love with a childhood soulmate- are depicted throughout the film as the super smart contestant is questioned on how he knows all the answers. Critics are already calling it a possibility for Best Picture.

Quantum of Solace (Nov. 14) The latest in the 007 franchise picks up right after last year’s “Casino Royale” left off when Bond and Mr. White came face to face. On his mission to find out who blackmailed his deceased love, Vesper, into betraying him, Bond will travel to Austria, Italy and South America while, of course, meeting some new Bond girls.

Twilight (Nov. 21) Step aside, “Harry Potter,” the first installment in the almost-equally popular “Twilight” book series is on its way. Instead of “Harry’s” witches, warlocks and muggles, “Twilight” brings us the story of a typical teenage girls who happens to fall in love with a devastatingly handsome vampire.

Four Christmases (Nov. 26) Unless you have to attend four Christmases as well, you’ll have time to see this romantic comedy in which Reese Witherspoon and Vince Vaughn have to split up Christmas between each of their divorced parents after their tropical getaway flight gets cancelled. An all-star cast includes Mary Steenburgen, Sissy Spacek, Robert Duvall and Jon Voight.

Wendy and Lucy (Dec. 10) No, Wendy and Lucy aren’t two best girlfriends – at least in the human sense. Michelle Williams of “Brokeback Mountain” and “Dawson’s Creek” fame is Wendy and Lucy is her dog and traveling companion on her trip to a new job in Alaska. She already only has about $600 to her name but it gets worse when her car breaks down and she loses Lucy. Williams could possibly get an Oscar nomination for Best Actress.

Nothing Like the Holidays (Dec. 12) John Leguizamo, Freddy Rodriguez and Debra Messing star in this holiday-themed family drama movie. The Rodriguez family gathers in Chicago to celebrate Christmas and the return of their son from Iraq. Expect secrets to be revealed and family drama to ensue. If you liked Jodi Foster’s “Home for the Holidays,” this one may be for you.

Yes Man (Dec. 19) Jim Carrey used to say “no, no ,no,” but now he’s saying “yes, yes, yes.” Throughout the course of a year, Carrey pledges to say “yes” to everything as part of a self-help program he signs up for. Of course its Jim Carrey, so expect silly hilarity to ensue and look for costar Zooey Deschanel whose shone brightly in small roles in “Elf” and “Failure to Launch.”

Bedtime Stories (Dec. 25) Another not so little-known funnyman by the name of Adam Sandler stars in this family holiday comedy. Sandler is an uncle who tells crazy bedtime stories; but instead of reading a normal book with ordinary pictures, his stories come to life with crazy CGI effects to keep the little ones both in the movie and in the theater entertained this Christmas.

Rumors have been put to rest once again regarding Jennifer Aniston’s suspected pregnancy.  Reconciliation with her boyfriend John Mayer, 31, from their split in August has inevitably started up the rumor mill again for Jen.

Being in a relationship apparently qualifies her to be pregnant. Previously speculated fathers of her “supposed child” include Vince Vaughn, Paul Sculfor, and Sex in the City’s Jason Lewis.

Recently In Touch claimed on its cover that Jen, 39, “looks pregnant” and speculated that the Aniston and Mayer reunion was due to a pregnancy.

“It’s not true,” a souse close to Mayer told Usmagazine.com.

Nonetheless, the couple can’t seem to get the tabloids off their case.
