Carmelo Anthony and LaLa Vasquez set wedding date

In a recent appearance on The Wendy Williams show, MTV VJ LaLa Vasquez announced that she is finally set to wed her longtime fiance, Denver Nuggets NBA star Carmelo Anthony.

“I’m getting married this summer and I wanted to come here and tell everybody that,” she said, and when Williams asked if some of Vasquez' famous friends - Kim Kardashian and Solange Knowles among them - would be bridesmaids, she admitted, "I haven't decided. But they will be in it in some capacity."

Vasquez expects the guest list to be around 250-300 people, and the ceremony, being put together by celebrity wedding planner Mindy Weiss, will be in Vasquez' home state of New York. Of the large guest list, Vasquez said, “Everybody’s been waiting for [the wedding] for so long, we may as well invite everybody to come hang out.”

The couple have been engaged since before the birth of their son Kiyan, born in March 2007.

Carmen Electra is happily unmarried

Model/actress Carmen Electra announced her engagement to former Korn guitarist Rob Patterson almost two years ago, but the couple remain happily unmarried with no upcoming wedding in the works.

"We’re happy the way things are," she told People earlier this month. "We’re not really putting that added, extra pressure on the relationship. If we decide [to get married], then we will get married, but we’re just happy being together."

Any wedding would be Patterson's first and Electra's third - she was previously married to NBA star Dennis Rodman and rocker Dave Navarro.

Shakira no closer to marrying fiance

Colombian "She Wolf" singer Shakira was recently spotted wandering the beach hand in hand with her fiance, Antonio de la Rua, in Punta del Este, Uruguay - close to where she owns a ranch. In spite of their happiness together, the couple is in no hurry to wed.

The couple are approaching their tenth anniversary. After de la Rua proposed in 2001, it was reported that the pair would marry in 2007 at her home in the Dominican Republic, but it never happened. Media then either speculated that the private pair had wed in secret or had split, but neither turned out to be true.

On her Twitter last September, Shakira addressed the rumours by saying, "We are neither married nor fighting. We are very together and very good. 9 years!"

Rachel Weisz voted "most marriable woman"

The readers of Esquire magazine recently voted Oscar-winning actress Rachel Weisz the "most marriable woman."

Posing for the cover of the magazine, Weisz responded to the honour, "Oh my God! ... To Marry? That's interesting. That's so funny. I'm marriable, but I'm not married. I was getting worried that the men didn't like me anymore!"

She also recounted the story of how she and her longtime fiance, director Darren Aronofsky, met.

"I didn't want this cool, indie director to see me in this stretch limo. But as I stepped out, he was waiting there. I was like, 'Argh! Shit!' I felt like such an idiot!"

Weisz, star of the The Lovely Bones, has previously spoken of being in no hurry to tie the knot with the director, with whom she has a three-year-old son, Henry.
