Cynthia Nixon’s Wedding Plans

May 18th, 2009

Although Cynthia Nixon and Christine Marinoni announced just yesterday that they’re engaged, their betrothal happened a month ago, plenty of time to start planning.

 

First things first, though: is there jewelry involved?

 

“There is a ring. There’s a beautiful ring," Cynthia tells Extra. Christine doesn’t have one yet, as Cynthia explains, "She will have a wedding ring but she does not want an engagement ring."

 

As for the place and time, that’s already being discussed between the twosome, who have been together since 2003.

 

"We’re hoping to do it in New York. We’re not going to wait forever, but we’re hoping it’s just around the corner," she says. "Sometime I think before the end of next summer, but we don’t have a date.”

Harrison Ford Confirms Engagement

May 12th, 2009

Although reports originally circulated months ago that Harrison Ford had proposed to long-time girlfriend Calista Flockhart over Valentine’s Day weekend, the couple hadn’t spoken out about it publicly… until now.

 

When Enterainment Tonight asked Harrison if congratulations were in order on an engagement, he confirmed the happy news, saying, "Yeah, thank you very much."

 

A few months ago The New York Post reported that the twosome had gotten blood tests and applied for a marriage license in Jackson, Wyo., where they have a home together.

 

In the interview airing tonight, Harrison goes on to say that they’re very happy together and that ET would know if they weren’t.

 

Congratulations, officially!

Jennifer Love Hewitt Happy to be 30

April 5th, 2009 / Author: OK! Staff

It would be an understatement to say that life has thrown Jennifer Love Hewitt some emotional curveballs over the last few years.

She landed a surprise TV hit with The Ghost Whisperer, but she’s been the butt of countless cruel jokes for her fluctuating figure. She got engaged to actor Ross McCall only to have the relationship fall apart before they made it to the altar.

Through it all, Jennifer has done her best to hold her head up and shrug off the bad times. She’s embraced her womanly curves and recently found love again with Hollywood funny guy Jamie Kennedy. And, having just celebrated her 30th birthday in February, the actress tells OK! that she’s finally beginning to feel comfortable in her own skin.

"I am! I’m getting there," Jennifer told OK! before Sunday’s Academy of Country Music Awards. "I turned 30 — that helps a little bit once you get out of your twenties. You can breathe for a second."

Of course, adds the actress, things are never perfect. "I would like to feel much better in my skin," she admits. "But I think I’ll be okay."

So can she finally say that she’s happy? "Yes," she says. "I am, actually."

Jen’s Birthday Engagement

February 11th, 2009 / Author: OK! Staff

As Jennifer Aniston turns 40 today, she’ll no doubt be surrounded by those who love her — and that includes the man in her life, rocker John Mayer.

And while in her new movie, He’s Just Not That Into You, she plays a woman stuck in a go-nowhere relationship, the same cannot be said for the actress’ real-life romance with her 30-year-old beau. And just in time for Jen’s big birthday, it looks like John will finally give his lady love the ultimate gift: a marriage proposal!

"Jen and John are slipping away on a romantic getaway," an insider tells OK!. "And John’s going to give her the ultimate surprise for her 40th — a gorgeous engagement ring!"

But taking that step towards marriage wasn’t always a foregone conclusion for the hot-and-cold pair, who first hooked up shortly after Jen’s 39th birthday last year.
At the time, John — whose playboy past includes flings with Jessica Simpson, Minka Kelly and Jennifer Love Hewitt — wasn’t quite ready for monogamy. And after a sizzling summer with Jen, John called things off in August — only to quickly realize he’d made a mistake.

"He begged and pleaded with Jen for another chance," a source close to the Grammy winner tells OK!. And while the actress did eventually take him back, a pal of the former Friends star says "Jen made it clear that she wanted their relationship to be on the marriage track."

Though they recently split again for three weeks following their New Year’s getaway to Mexico, the couple decided to recommit to their relationship. Jen, in particular, drew a line in the sand.

"She made it really clear to John what her rules are," a friend tells OK!. "And John had no problem agreeing to whatever she wanted."

John Mayer Jokes About Engagement Ring

February 2nd, 2009

John Mayer might want to take a look back and remember what happened the last time he over-shared with the public – he and Jennifer Aniston broke up, reportedly partly because of his friendliness with the press.

 

And even though Jen said in a recent interview her boyfriend hadn’t been blogging lately, the singer is back to communicating with his fans and making jokes about his personal life.

 

“Visiting the Diamond Exchange in Tustin,” he wrote on his Twitter page Friday, following it up Saturday with, “Welding an engagement ring for my girlfriend.”

 

<a href="http://www.okmagazine.com/pixandvids/gallery/9410/" target="_blank"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3379/3182836637_f69d108eed_o.jpg" width="426" height="70" alt="aniston" /></a>

 

While he may have meant "wielding," there’s no doubt that John enjoys toying with the press over his relationship with Jen, especially as the Marley and Me star approaches the big 4-0.

 

However if John keeps updating the public on his relationship status, there might not be a relationship. Stay tuned!

Tom & Gisele Not Engaged!

January 23rd, 2009

Well, it turns out Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen are not engaged after all. Contrary to reports that claimed the New England Patriots quarterback proposed to his supermodel girlfriend on Christmas eve aboard a private plane, Gisele is putting all rumors to rest herself, denying that she is indeed set to marry the footballer.

"I don’t know how people are so creative," Gisele told Brazilian magazine Caras. "First they said he proposed to me in a plane. Imagine, it was Dec. 24, Christmas, we were flying to Boston, then there was some champagne and we celebrated the date."

She adds, "Someone deduced I was getting engaged! I received more than 100 emails from friends commenting about the proposal. Now there’s a new rumor, that he proposed to me last Friday. I wasn’t even there, how can that be true?"

 

But even though she may not have a ring on her finger, the key word is: yet.

Gisele says she does plan to marry her QB cutie, but no date has been set. A nd when the big day does come, don’t expect a giant ‘to do.’

"I don’t know if it’s going to be here [Costa Rica] or in another country, but what I know is that it’s going to be something small, a simple ceremony. I don’t like parties, I prefer something more intimate, just for the closest people."

And there you have it!

 

Maksim and Karina’s ‘Perfect, Disastrous’ Proposal

January 15th, 2009

Those big moments in life never goes as smoothly as they do in the movies — even when you’re a gorgeous TV star.

In their first interview together since they got engaged in Las Vegas on New Years Eve, Maksim Chmerkovskiy says his proposal to fellow Dancing With The Stars dancer, Karina Smirnoff, was nearly a disaster!

"It was the most perfect proposal ever, yet the most disastrous proposal ever," Karina told The Insider.

The problem, says Maksim, was that he’d done the ground work, but when the time came, he blurted out the wrong thing.

 

"I started with, ‘I’ve been with a lot of women,’" he admitted. Ouch!

"My big advice to guys out there is to write it down and practice your speech!," he said.

But in the end, he must have done something right.

"He gave me a beautiful, limited edition Louis Vuitton bag," gushed Karina.

"The box with the ring was inside and I thought it was the receipt or something! When I opened the box, I freaked out and closed it again.

"I re-opened the box and he still wasn’t saying anything! He tried to form sentences but nothing would come out. We both stood there staring at the ring."

As for wedding details, the couple say they haven’t begun planning, but hope to marry this year.

See the rest of the interview on The Insider, tonight, Thursday Jan 15.

Johnny Depp to Tie the Knot?

December 18th, 2008 / Author: OK! Staff

Is Johnny Depp finally making an honest woman out of his long-term girlfriend, Vanessa Paradis?

 

Though the Pirates of the Caribbean star has said, “I don’t feel like I need a piece of paper that says I own her and she owns me, ” the 45-year-old may have had a change of heart.

 

Sources tell OK! that the actor had a high-end Southern California jewelry store shut down so he could privately shop for engagement rings on Dec. 10 for Vanessa, mom to his children, Lily Rose, 9, and Jack, 5 – and that he made a “very large purchase.”

 

“This was Johnny’s third or fourth visit to the store,” a source tells OK!. He looked at an assortment of classic solitaire diamond rings in platinum settings – a really beautiful selection of elegant and understated rings.”

 

Johnny, who met Vanessa in 1998 while filming The Ninth Gate, praises the French singer for giving him “proper perspective and understanding” after failed engagements
to Winona Ryder, Sherilyn Fenn and Jennifer Grey, and a tumultuous relationship with supermodel Kate Moss.

 

“We just have a miraculous understanding of each other,” he’s said.
