Molly Sims' bling and proposal details!

Over the May long weekend, actress/jewelry designer Molly Sims accepted a surprise proposal from producer Scott Stuber, her boyfriend of the past two years. He popped the question inside her walk-in closet, a la Big and Carrie in Sex & the City. "I had just closed escrow on my house. I was having trouble having his house be our house. He was like, 'This is our house and our life and our future.'"

Stuber, who designed the Diane von Furstenburg ring himself with Sims' friend, a DVF executive, flew in Sims parents from Kentucky for the weekend, a surprise to the bride-to-be. Said Stuber at the recent Chrysalis Butterfly Ball in Los Angeles, with Sims on his arm, "Her mother is a southern woman, and I wanted to be a good Southern gentleman and go ask her parents in person, and bring them along."

And Sims, who says she has "no idea" how big her cushion-cut sparkler is (roughly 5-6 carats, says this site), loves her future husband's taste in jewelry. "He designed it. He did it with my girlfriend on his own. He surprised me; I never sent him a picture. He did it all."

Jesse James and Kat Von D planning summer wedding

Amid rumours that the pair have split, tattooed reality TV stars Jesse James and Kat Von D have announced that couldn't be further from the truth, and that plans are moving forward for a summer wedding.

"We're still going strong. Things are completely good with us," said James, adding that the pair are set to wed this summer on the one year anniversary of the day they started dating. Added James, "That day can't come soon enough. Everything is on track. I am absolutely more in love today than I was a year ago. She's the one for me."

Though the exact date was not revealed, the couple took their romance public last year over Labour Day weekend, so it looks like the pair will be married before his three children - daughters Chandler, 16, and Sunny, 7, and son Jesse, Jr., 14, return to school.

The PDA-friendly pair have known each other for years, but connected after James finalized his divorce from actress Sandra Bullock, who left him amidst revelations that he had cheated with multiple women, and while the couple were in the process of adopting son Louis Bardo, now 18 months, whom Bullock eventually adopted on her own.

The couple commutes regularly between Los Angeles, where she owns and operates the LA Ink tattoo parlour, and Austin, where James moved with his children following his divorce. Chandler and Jesse are his children with first wife Karla, with whom he shares parenting duties, while Sunny is his daughter with former adult film star Janine Lindemulder, whose drug problems have led her to relinquish custody to the West Coast Choppers owner.

Actress Rosanna Arquette set to wed for fourth time

Actress Rosanna Arquette, it has been revealed, is set to wed banker Todd Morgan, accepting his proposal without hesitation, a source said.

"Rosanna was kind of taken aback but absolutely thrilled when Todd proposed. She didn't think she would ever get married again and was happy with the way things were between her and Todd, but Rosanna is, at the heart of it, a real romantic and she's willing to give marriage another go.

"She's older and wiser and she's certain that Todd is 100 per cent the right guy for her. She is really, really happy."

The pair have reportedly not set a date, but are said to want to wed "sooner rather than later." Adds the source, "They want a small, intimate affair with just close friends and family."

For Arquette, that still guarantees a star-studded ceremony as her siblings - actors Patricia and David, along with David's semi-estranged wife, actress Courteney Cox, and transgender reality TV star Alexis - are stars in their own right.

Arquette has previously been married to Anthony Greco, James Newton Howard, and John Sidel, with whom she has a 16-year-old daughter Zoe Bleu.

UPDATE: Fearne Cotton engaged

Over the weekend, British music TV/radio host Fearne Cotton, 29, got engaged to her skater boyfriend of the past two years, Jesse Jenkins, Friday night - her 29th birthday. Cotton stepped out of the BBC Radio 1 studios on Monday with a diamond ring (among others) on her left hand.

Sources claim that Jenkins, 24, led Cotton, blindfolded, to London's Richmond Park, where he reportedly got down on one knee and proposed.

"Fearne was so touched at how Jesse did it - it was really romantic. It was a big shock for everyone but Fearne is ecstatic. It was the last thing that she was expecting but she didn't hesitate to say yes. She is so excited about being engaged that she hasn't even thought about the wedding - that will be something she thinks about later," says the source.

Cotton's rep confirmed the rumours late yesterday. It will be the first marriage for both.

The presenter has always spoken of her desire for marriage and family. "I've always been broody. Having a family of my own is really important, more than anything. I think that's what it's all about, isn't it? It's about finding a life partner who's your best friend. What's the point of doing great things at work if you don't have someone to share it with?"

Mexican singer Juan Gabriel engaged to younger man

Mexican singer Juan Gabriel has never confirmed reports he's gay, but this week in Mexico City his former assistant announced his engagement to Spanish boyfriend Jas Devael. Gabriel's former PA Joaquin Munoz told Shanik Berman's radio show in Mexico City that, "It's hard to believe, but they told me that due to the legalization of gay marriage (in Mexico City) they were going to surprise everyone with this engagement."

The couple met in 2007 through his sister, Isabel Pantoja, and have since become inseparable. Gabriel admired Devael's talent and vowed to make him a star, sending him to song and dance lessons. Gabriel, 60, produced the 21-year-old's upcoming album.

No wedding plans have been announced.

Aussie actress Kate Richie planning small, intimate wedding

Australian actress Kate Richie and her former rugby league fiance Stuart Webb are planning to wed in a small, intimate ceremony later this year, and Richie spoke about her preparations in a recent issue of Aussie mag Woman's Day.

“I’d like to think I will be a bride who, at the end of the night, can say she’s spoken to everyone individually. I think that will be the advantage of it being small and intimate,” says Richie, modelling gowns for the magazine. She was recently spotted in Sydney shopping for a dress with her sister, Rebekah, and is keeping the basic wedding details - when, where, how - to herself, but calls the day her "dream wedding."

Says Richie, who has been working hard to tone up for her wedding day, "We’re concentrating on it being the day we want it to be.”

The couple were engaged on a European holiday together last September. It will be the first marriage for both.

Brit soap star's dramatic real-life romance leads to engagement announcement

EastEnders soap star Sid Owen sleeps in a separate bed than his longtime girlfriend, 26-year-old Polly Parsons, but that didn't stop the pair from secretly getting engaged six months ago. Nor did it stop them from postponing a planned September ceremony after a two-month split earlier this year.

Owen, 38, who is also a former British pop star, proposed to Parsons while on holiday in Barbados six months ago. Owen and Parsons tell OK! about the romantic proposal.

"There was a raft out at sea which we'd swim out to," says Owen. "I didn't have a ring so I got this guy on the beach to make one out of beads in the reggae colours, as I love my reggae, and I put that in my back pocket and we swam out there and I proposed."

"It was really romantic," says Parsons.

'Romantic' does little to describe how this happy couple spend their nights - apart, in separate bedrooms. Then again, Parsons reasoning for sleeping alone may have a lot to do with why they're so blissfully happy these days.

"He snores like a rhino," she says. "After we went traveling I had to be honest with him about it," says Polly, 'and he said he liked having his own bed anyway so it was perfect. I'll stay in Sid's bed watching TV cuddling. If I fall asleep in his room I soon hear him snoring and get up anyway and go into my room. People think it's weird but it works for us."

The couple were originally planning to wed in September but split when the pressure of pulling together the big day became too much for Parsons. "We had about a thousand people coming! It would have been about everyone else - now we've had time apart, we know what's important. It just started to get out of hand and it scared me."

During their time apart, Owen took off for a detox centre in Thailand, but the couple say they spoke daily in order to get their relationship back on track. As for where and when the couple will finally wed, the couple tells OK! they plan to take their time and will wed "maybe next year."

But they'll have to compromise - Owen wants a wedding at his 600-year-old farmhouse in France, but Polly wants to return to Barbados.

BBUK 2010 winner to marry her 'showmance'?

Just last week, UK Big Brother crowned Josie Gibson, 25, the winner of the final series of the British reality TV program, which has been a huge hit there since it debuted a decade ago. While inside the house, she got close to fellow finalist, 24-year-old Aussie John James Parton, and now the Daily Mail says insiders claim they're engaged.

Though the couple have not confirmed reports they're engaged, they have both alluded to the possibility. In an interview with Britain's Daily Star this weekend, Gibson said, "I want John James to be my husband. It's always been in the back of my mind. I've never loved someone like this. My mum has given us her blessing as well. I spoke to her about our plans and she says she loves him."

From the same article, Parton said, "I want to get married too. I was thinking about it while we were in the house. Josie is definitely marriage material and I really love her."

No matter whether or not it's true - Big Brother showmances generally don't last. In the UK version, only Grace Adams-Short and Mikey Dalton's relationship lasted - they wed last year after meeting on the 2006 series. In the US version, no showmances have reached the altar, but 2009's supercouple, Jeff Schroeder and Jordan Lloyd, are still going strong.

First Top Chef winner to wed

At last night's Emmy Awards, Bravo reality show Top Chef nabbed the Best Reality Competition Program statue from The Amazing Race for the first time in the categories history, and now the show's first winner has announced he's getting married - and without the show, he may never have met his bride-to-be.

Manhattan-based chef Harold Dieterle won Top Chef in 2006, and one of his prizes was a trip to the Food + Wine Expo in Aspen, Colorado. At an event after-party he met Atlanta native Meredith Davies.

Dieterle and Davies will wed at the Capital City Country Club in Brookhaven, near Atlanta, Georgia on September 4th, and will honeymoon in Rome, Positano, and Sicily.

Jason Kidd reportedly engaged to baby mama

He is estranged and recently divorced from ex-wife Joumana, mother of his son and twin daughters.

The Munsters' Butch Patrick to marry longtime fan


Actor Butch Patrick, 57, best known as young son Eddie on the hit TV show The Munsters in the 1960s, will marry former Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Donna McCall, who has been a fan of the actor for 25 years.

McCall, 56, is giving some sort of twisted hope to women everywhere, where the man of her dreams falls in love with her. McCall started writing letters to Patrick in 1964, but back then she was just one in a sea of fan letters the actor received. But when The Munsters ended, she continued writing - she kept writing to Patrick for the rest of her life.

Recently she wrote a letter to the email address on his website, and Butch replied - with his phone number. "I was really,really nervous when I called him," she tells the Philadelphia Examiner. "I felt like I was 10-years old again. He put me quite at ease. He even handed the phone to his mom and I got to talk to her for a little bit."

The two stayed in contact and finally met face to face at DRACULACON, fell in love, and Patrick proposed. The pair did not announce any wedding plans.

Crown Princess Victoria, Prince Albert III weddings


Bachelor monarch Prince Albert II of Monaco announced his engagement to former South African swimmer Charlene Wittsock in July, with a wedding date set for Saturday, July 2nd (civil) and Sunday, July 3rd (religious) in the tiny European principality.

Never married Albert, 52, has been dating Wittsock since 2006, but had always kept his intentions to wed, and father a natural heir to the throne, to himself. He has an 18-year-old daughter, Jazmin, with a woman in California, and a four-year-old son, Alexandre, with Togan flight attendant Nicole Coste. He has paid child support to both children, but neither are heirs to the Monegasque throne due to being born out of wedlock.

And on June 19th, Sweden's Crown Princess Victoria was married to her former personal trainer Daniel Westling at the Storkyrkan Cathedral in Stockholm, Sweden. Thousands of well-wishers lined the streets to catch a glimpse of their future queen, while hundreds of guests witnessed the traditional ceremony inside the church - the largest gathering of the world's royalty since the wedding of Prince Felipe of Spain to Letizia Ortiz in 2004.

The princess wore a gown created by Swedish designer Par Engsheven and borrowed the cameo tiara and veil worn by her mother, Queen Silvia, on the same date 34 years ago. Archbishop Anders Wejryd of the Swedish Lutheran Church presided over the ceremony - through most of which the groom was in tears, gently wiped away by his bride.

The newlyweds embarked on a six-week honeymoon in Tahiti, New York City, Colorado, and at the summer cottage of Westling's parents, Olle and Eva, in Acktjara, Sweden.

Bachelorette Ali picks her wedding music

Engaged to Roberto Martinez on the finale of The Bachelorette this month, Ali Fedotowsky tells People that she's already set her plans for the music at her anticipated spring wedding.

“I want it to be simple: one person, one instrument and that’s it,” she says. “I think absolutely a violinist for that. My favorite music is like Jack Johnson, Schuyler Fisk … people who sit down with a guitar and sing. That’s what I want at our wedding — that rawness."

She also plans to celebrate Martinez' Latin heritage with the song "Bendita tu luz" by Mana, which he played for Fedotowsky on their first visit to their hideaway house before they were allowed to come out as a couple as the show aired. She also has plans to dance:

“Our wedding will be a lot of dancing and celebrating. A live band, and absolutely salsa dancing. Every kind of dancing! I’m actually envisioning Roberto and I making up a dance — a funny, quirky dance that people are going to laugh at.”

Martinez proposed on the season finale of The Bachelorette with a $50,000 Asscher-cut diamond engagement ring by Neil Lane. This will be the first marriage for both.

We also missed the weddings of celluloid supercouple Jim and Pam of The Office. Jenna Fischer married Lee Kirk on July 3rd - Survivor's Jeff Probst officiated! - with many costars there to witness, but not her TV husband John Krasinski.

Friends now seem to be confirming that the couple is expecting their first child - making Miranda Kerr also highly susceptible to whatever in the water is making every Victoria's Secret model get pregnant.Spanish actors Javier Bardem and Penelope Cruz were married in early July in The Bahamas, and Harrison Ford and Calista Flockhart eloped at the Governor's mansion in Santa Fe, New Mexico June 15th. Alanis Morissette married rapper Mario "Souleye" Treadway May 22nd at their L.A. home - and just this week announced they're expecting their first child in December.
British actress Gemma Arterton, who starred as a Bond Girl in Casino Royale and opposite Jake Gyllenhaal in The Prince of Persia, married boyfriend Stefano Catelli on a Spanish hilltop in Zuheros, Andalucia June 5th.

My wedding dress is kind of like that." Catelli proposed last year at the Download Music Festival in Derby, UK.

Funny stars Sacha Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher married in Paris in front of just six guests on Valentine's Day.

And Carmelo Anthony of the Denver Nuggets married former MTV personality LaLa Vasquez in New York City on July 10th - it proved to be a fairly popular day - Anthony and Vasquez, Krasinski and Blunt, Carrie Underwood and Mike Fisher, and Martin Lawrence and girlfriend Shamicka Hill we're all married today.
Glee star Jane Lynch married girlfriend Dr. Lara Embry on May 28th in Massachusetts - where same-sex marriage is legal, with Embry's 8-year-old daughter there to witness.
Piers Morgan, British journalist and judge on reality shows including America's Got Talent, was married to girlfriend Celia Walden in the UK on June 24th, with a who's who of celeb friends from across the pond in attendance - but not his good friend Simon Cowell, who recently gave up his serial bachelorhood to announce his intent to wed American Idol make-up artist Mezghan Hussainy. Actress Mena Suvari married music producer Simone Sestito in Vatican City on June 26th, wearing a strapless dress by Stacey Bendet of alice + olivia despite previously expressing a desire to cover her tattoos with a gown with plenty of fabric.

The very day teen mom Bristol Palin and ex-boyfriend Levi Johnson announced they were back together and engaged, she discovered he might have gotten another girl pregnant when they weren't together and they split - again. Also ending their engagements: former Bachelorette couple Jillian Harris and Ed Swiderski, most recent Bachelor couple Jake Pavelka and Vienna Girardi, and Brit Kelly Osbourne and model boyfriend Luke Worrall. Just days after announcing the end of the engagement over rumoured allegations of Worrall's cheating, Osbourne's dog died. Guess she's got the Jessica Simpson curse. And finally, actors Hayden Christensen and Rachel Bilson called off their 18-month engagement, with distance being blamed for the split - she's based in L.A., he in Toronto.
Getting a little further into the relationship, actors Jonathon Schaech and Jana Kramer were married July 4th - but filed for divorce this week.

Just in time for Bachelor Pad, former Bachelor series contestants announce engagements to fellow show stars


Sorry, money-making anti-love reality TV show series, we see right through you. Earlier this week, just as ABC's Bachelor Pad debuted, DeAnna Pappas and Jesse Csincsak, who walked away engaged when Pappas was The Bachelorette, have announced their engagement to each of their new loves - who also have Bachelor connections.

Pappas, 28, announced her engagement to Stephen Stagliano earlier this week, debuting her 2.12 carat Asscher-cut diamond engagement ring. The couple were engaged over Memorial Day weekend, about one month before Stephen's twin brother Michael - who was on the Bachelorette season starring Jillian Harris - proposed to girlfriend Holly Durst with a ring from Boston's Kiing Jewelers. Durst also appeared on a former season of the Bachelor, and both couples met at a taping of a Bachelor reunion special in 2009.

Now, the two couples are planning a TV wedding special titled Four Better, for Worse and a double wedding next spring, and both brides will likely wear Monique Lhuillier.

Also this week, Pappas' former fiance, snowboarder Jesse Csincsak announced his engagement to Ann Leuders, who appeared on Jason Mesnick's Bachelor season and met Csincsak on a reunion cruise to Mexico for the show last year.

He presented her with a $22,000 princess-cut ring from Levit Jewelers in Ohio. The couple have not announced any wedding plans.

So while it seems almost impossible to make a viable love-match during the show's whirlwind filming schedule, the show seems to be picking up some credibility with making love connections, after all. Does this mean we still have to watch it?

Uma puts a ring back on

Following recent photographs of Kill Bill star Uma Thurman reunited with ex-fiance Arpad Busson, the actress was spotted wearing a diamond ring on her left hand earlier this week while walking her son, Levon, home from school in NYC (pictured, left).

Neither reps for Thurman, nor the millionaire Swiss financier, are talking, adding fuel to rumours that the couple have not only reconciled, but have kickstarted their engagement again.

The pair split late last year following two years together, only to be seen getting close in London and New York multiple times this month. Thurman was previously married to actors Gary Oldman and Ethan Hawke, with whom she has son Levon, 8, and 11-year-old daughter Maya, and Busson has sons Flynn, 11, and Cy, 6, with ex-fiancee, supermodel Elle MacPherson.

Wedding bells for Geri Halliwell?

Following a short-lived engagement to Italian businessman Fabrizio Politi in early 2009, Spice Girl Geri Halliwell began dating wealthy aristocrat Henry Beckwith in April, and now British tabs are reporting that the couple are planning to wed.

Spotted at St. John Parish Church in Hampstead, London, with longtime friend Kenny Goss (George Michael's long-term partner, in spite of Michael's need to have sex with strange men in park bushes), Halliwell reportedly met with the church vicar for an hour, after which she and Goss headed straight to boutique tailor Thom Sweeney.

The source tailing the pair asked, "Who should we be congratulating on the wedding?" Goss immediately pointed at Halliwell before catching himself and saying: "Erm, I mean both of us."

"Geri was giggling, and seemed really excited," the source added. "She wouldn't say what they were doing, but Kenny let the cat out the bag."

This would be Halliwell's first marriage. She has a daughter, 3-year-old Bluebell, from a relationship with screenwriter Sacha Gervasi.
