Natalie Portman and Benjamin Millepied may have secretly tied the knot as the two were wearing what appeared to be wedding bands on their ring fingers at the 84th Annual Academy Awards on Sunday.

Jamie Wolf, a jeweler and friend of professional ballet dancer Millepied, released a statement that she designed the couple’s rings but does not state that they are in fact, wedding rings.

“We did make the rings [they're] wearing, but we do not know the significance behind them,” the rep who works exclusively with Wolf said to RumorFix.

“All the articles online are blown up. There is no truth behind the confirmation. [Natalie Portman] never mentioned anything, we know nothing of the sort, she absolutely never mentioned what the significance of the rings are.”

But People (among other online outlets) have said Wolf released a statement and is using the term “wedding rings,” – attributing that phrase to the designer, although not quoting an entire sentence from the designer using that term.

What we do get is how the rings are made of recycled platinum and certified conflict-free diamonds, which speak to the social-conscience of vegan Portman.

“We wanted everything about the ring to speak to things that are important to Natalie,” Wolf told the magazine.

But E!Online seems to have cleared up how the assumption came about.

“I designed the rings worn by Benjamin Millepied and Natalie Portman,” she told E! News. “The style of the rings by definition are wedding rings. However, we cannot confirm a marriage between Natalie Portman and Benjamin Millepied.

“I can neither confirm nor deny the marriage of Natalie Portman and Benjamin Millepied, as that is not information I am privy to. I designed rings for the couple and cannot attatch meaning to those items.”

E! also reveals no marriage license for the couple has been found as of yet.

Reps for Portman are not commenting.

Portman, 30, and Millepied, 34, met on the film set of Black Swan. Natalie went on to win the Best Actress Oscar at the 2011 ceremony.

The couple announced their engagement in December of 2010 and she delivered their first child; a son, Aleph, in June of 2011.

George Clooney and the absolutely stunning Stacy Keibler walked the red carpet of the 84th Annual Academy Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday, February 26th.

Keibler opted for a gorgeous strapless gold Marchesa Fall 2012 draped gown that made her look like a living Oscar Statue. She kept her look on point with side swept honey-colored hair and minimal accessories all of a golden hue.

Clooney, who was nominated for his role in The Descendants, took part in the opening skit with Oscars’ host Billy Crystal.

Crystal, who “inserts” himself into nominated movies in his opening montage, shared a kiss with Clooney in a nod to George’s film.

Crystal joked that it was a “very good kiss” and Keibler agreed.

“You’re right @BillyCrystal,” she tweeted, “he is a good kisser.”

The 84th Annual Academy Awards were held in Hollywood at the Kodak Theatre (or as host Billy Crystal quipped – the Chapter 11 Theater) on Sunday night and there were few surprises.

Crystal was his usual affable, likable self; the ratings were up slightly from last year but there were no really big wow moments to the 2012 Oscars.

The biggest winners of the night were Martin Scorsese‘s Hugo and Michel Hazanavicius‘ The Artist – each taking 5 wins, although The Artist won the biggest nods of Best Director, Best Feature and Best Leading Actor among it’s accolades.

The Help star Octavia Spencer had a very sweet moment at the podium when she was genuinely overcome with emotion as she accepted her Best Supporting Actress gold statue.

Chistopher Plummer and Meryl Streep were also very engaging during their thank you speeches and Jean Dujardin shared a moment with Uggie, the Jack Russell terrier of The Artist that has become a fan favorite.

Viola Davis and George Clooney were hot contenders for Best Actress and Actor categories, respectively, but both walked away empty handed.

Among the presenters for the evening: Tom Cruise, Penelope Cruz, Jennifer Lopez, Tom Hanks, Cameron Diaz, Tina Fey, Michael Douglas, Bradley Cooper, Chris Rock, Melissa Leo, Kristen Wiig, Melissa McCarthy, Maya Rudolph and Emma Stone.

Below is the full list of winners:  (Read the article)

Actress Halle Berry was tapped to present at tonight’s 84th Annual Academy Awards ceremony in Los Angeles however she has cancelled her appearance.

Berry was scheduled to be a presenter with her Cloud Atlas costar, Tom Hanks however, the 45 year-old will not walk the red carpet tonight (or anything else) due to her broken foot. No word if Hanks will present solo now, or a replacement will be added last minute.

The Oscar winner broke her foot back in September while she was on location in Spain. She was chasing her daughter Nahla, who was playing with a goat, when the injury occurred.

Berry won her award in 2002 for her role in the film Monster.

No tracksuits here!  Glee‘s Jane Lynch looked fantastically dapper at Elton John‘s AIDS Foundation Oscars Viewing Party.  I adore her metallic tux jacket.  It’s such a throwback – did she get it from a former Las Vegas lounge band leader from the 1960s? – but it totally works.

See who else attended Sir Elton’s party:  Kim Kardashian, Hayden Panettiere, Emma Roberts, and Miranda Cosgrove.

Remember just a few short years ago when Hayden Panettiere was sweet and innocent and wearing voluminous dresses on the red carpet?  And then remember a little later when she was all grown up and classy and glamorous?   My my, times certainly have changed.  I don’t know what happened here, but Hayden showed up at Elton John‘s Oscars Viewing Party looking like a tarted up former starlet, twice her age, trying way too hard to look younger than she is.   Way too much spray tan?  Check.  Way too much garish lipstick?  Check.  Way too much orange bleached out hair?  Check.  Oh, Hayden.  How far we fall.

Kim Kardashian seriously turned on the glam for Sir Elton John‘s 19th Annual AIDS Foundation Academy Awards Viewing Party.  She wore a dark blue mermaid dress by J Mendel and jewels by Lorraine Schwartz for her evening out.  I love the dress, but I think Kim’s makeup is too subtle to hold up to so rich a color.

Long-time sweethearts Jon Hamm (Mad Men) and Jennifer Westfeldt (Kissing Jessica Stein) hit up the Vanity Fair Oscars Party at the Sunset Tower Hotel in West Hollywood. These two have been together since 1997!  (Thank you, Wikipedia!) Do you think they’ll ever get married?

Amy Adams attended the Annual Academy Awards nominees luncheon on Monday at the Beverly Hilton Hotel.  What is with the trend in white dresses that look like nurse uniforms?  This one is a lot cuter than the big fail Kirsten Dunst wore out for New Year’s Eve – it is a Valentino after all – but I’m pretty sure I hate this trend.
