Next week, “The Office” is back with a brand new episode, and we here at GossipCenter have an exclusive preview of Michael Scott’s proposal to Holly.

In the clip, Michael (played by Steve Carell) shows off his engagement ring and tosses around ideas about how to pop the big question.

As Carell prepares to depart his seven-seasons-long gig, this is an incredible way to add some happiness to a fond-yet-sad farewell.

In related news, “The Office,” “Community,” and “Parks and Recreation” have been renewed by NBC for next season. NBC honcho Bob Greenblatt told press, “I am so pleased to renew these three outstanding comedies which are all at the top of their game creatively.”

A new diet craze has taken Hollywood by storm – all thanks to funnyman Jimmy Kimmel.

Following the late-night host’s “Hottie Body Humpilates” spoof, Kimmel debuted the second half of his “revolutionary fitness regimen” last night (March 14).

Jimmy was joined by a bevy of A-list beauties such as Jessica Biel, Scarlett Johansson and Jessica Alba, who claim to follow the mock diet plan and boast about weight loss with “before” photos that feature the actress’ faces photoshopped onto overweight bodies.

The Jimmy K plan advertises a fool-proof plan for weight loss, saying, “Fattening foods are subjected to powerful slimming forces which strip away 80% of the carbohydrates, proteins and fats and divert them directly into Jimmy’s stomach, where they are digested,”

Offering up plenty of laughs as he returned to Studio 8H, Zach Galifianakis took over hosting duties for the second time on the March 12th episode of “Saturday Night Live”.

The “Hangover” funnyman kicked things off with an opening monologue chock full of laughs as he even included a little lip-syncing performance of the song “Tomorrow” from “Annie”.

Later in the show, Zach partook in numerous sketches including an appearance as an audience member at “The Talk” – during which he voiced his disappointment over being at the program rather than his preferred daytime show “The View”.

With other pieces including skits titled “Scared Straight” and “Titanic,” one of the fan favorite moments of the episode included Galifianakis in the latest Digital Short as he hunted for a new assistant.

Treating fans to a little more new material, Charlie Sheen’s cooking sketch for “Funny or Die” has officially been released.

Wearing a tiger striped chef’s cap with a “Winning Recipes” apron, the former “Two and a Half Men” star proudly showed off his culinary skills during the laughable effort.

A producer from “Funny or Die” told Us magazine of the creation, “The skit was produced as a way to remind people he knows what everyone is thinking and he’s in on it too.”

With the script being written by former SNL writer and producer Adam McKay, another insider tells Us of the “Winning Recipes” skit, “Charlie doesn’t want to do more press like last week — that was a moment in time for him. But while he’s dealing with the custody cases and the lawsuit, he needs to rethink some things about how to keep his fans happy. He’s an entertainer first.”

Arriving on the set of her upcoming project, Halle Berry was all scrubbed and ready to go on Tuesday afternoon (March 8).

Dressed as a nurse in blue scrubs and tennis shoes, the 44-year-old bombshell showed up to get to work on “New Year’s Eve” – which is shooting in New York City.

While discussing her career, Miss Berry recently admitted that her daughter Nahla probably won’t like everything she’s done, but says, “I hope she’s proud of me.”

Berry also revealed that she’d happily leave Hollywood to focus on motherhood, telling, “I love making movies but I would give it all up to be with my daughter if I had to because she’s the love of my life.”

She’s no stranger to taking shots from the media, and Sarah Palin’s latest criticism came from Conan O’Brien’s show “Conan.”

The crimson-haired funnyman blended clips of Palin’s “Alaska” show where she shot a reindeer with scenes from “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.”

Conan joked, “They updated it to make the Rudolph story a little more contemporary, and I don’t know if they should have.”

Of the same episode, Aaron Sorkin wrote, “You weren’t killing that animal for food or shelter or even fashion. You were killing it for fun. You enjoy killing animals.”
