Hugh Hefner wants soup. He wants a nice blankie and a nap. He wants to watch the Weather Channel all day. He also wants to get married. Sure. According to TMZ and other sources, Hugh Hefner is officially back with his ex-fiancée Crystal Harris (the one who dumped him just days before their 2011 wedding), and they’re planning to get married. Again. When Hugh and Crystal were together for the first time, it seemed sketchy enough – more like a very old man who wasn’t really aware of his surroundings, but just wanted to make his young golddigger happy. But that fantasy blew up with Crystal dumped him before the 2011 wedding, and many sources claimed she had been fooling around on Hef with Dr. Phil’s son, Jordan McGraw. Crystal and Jordan seemed to still be “on” following the broken engagement to Hef, but then Crystal went back to Hef at some point. And now their wedding is back on…?

Playboy mogul Hugh Hefner is engaged (again) to Crystal Harris (again) and the two will walk down the aisle at the Playboy Mansion on New Year’s Eve (oooh, that’s new!) … TMZ has learned.

As TMZ first reported, Harris bailed on wedding #1 in June 2011 … just five days before the big day.

But according to our sources, Harris and Hef are better than ever these days, since Harris moved back into the Playboy Mansion earlier this year. We’re told the couple have worked out all their previous problems and decided recently they want to try and get married again.

According to our sources, Harris feels the time she spent apart from Hef really taught her how to be independent and stand on her own two feet … something she felt she needed.

Our sources say the wedding will be an intimate gathering with just close friends and family. Clothing optional.

Poor Hef. I actually do feel bad for him, you know. He’s 86 years old and he just wants his soup. If I was Christie Hefner (Hugh’s oldest child), I would be getting the lawyers involved in this mess. Crystal Harris just seems like such user and a golddigger. I don’t even know… maybe I should have sympathy for her too, but it just feels like elder abuse.

Jesse James has been married and divorced three times. He’s been exposed as a serial cheater on both his famous Oscar-winning ex wife, and his less famous, tattoo-artist fiance, but he’s not giving up on true love! James is engaged to his latest girlfriend, a drag racer named Alexis Dejoria who also happens to be the daughter of Paul Mitchell haircare founder John Paul DeJoria, meaning she’s rich, bitch! The first mention I can find of these two together is in a late October article in Radar saying they’ve been together a month at that point. That means they’ve been dating about two months and are already engaged.

Hollyscoop broke this story about a week ago, but this is the first I’m reading it. I find it mildly interesting and thought you might too:

Following his high profile breakups with the likes of Sandra Bullock and Kat Von D, Jesse James has set his sights on a lesser-known vixen: drag racer Alexis DeJoria. And it turns out the couple has wedding bells in their near future.

Hollyscoop has learned exclusively that James and DeJoria are engaged. Insiders from the drag racing circuit confirm the news.

This will be Jesse’s fourth marriage, and fifth engagement, and, no…we are not making up those numbers.

Along with Bullock, women that Jesse has been tied to via wedlock include both Karla James and adult actress Janine Lindemulder. Also, the West Coast Choppers CEO has three children between the latter two women.

If you’re not familiar with the name “Alexis DeJoria,” it’s probably because you’re spending more time watching E! news, rather than Spike TV. But, other than racing very fast cars, Alexis is also the daughter of John Paul DeJoria, aka the co-founder of hair care giant Paul Mitchell.

[From Hollyscoop]

Well maybe he just gave her a promise ring but it’s not official or something. I checked both of their Twitter accounts, and they have been tweeting each other and tweeting photos of themselves together. They didn’t deny an engagement, and James tweeted the photo above less than a day ago. You can’t see Alexis’ ring finger, but in a photo he tweeted two weeks ago she’s wearing what looks like an engagement ring so this is probably true. Also, Jesse has a Tumblr account. It’s called But Pee. I’m not kidding. (I have to say that he has the cutest pit bulls. I love that breed so much. It humanizes James a little for me, but not much.)

I guess there’s an unlimited supply of women who refuse to believe anything negative about the douche they’re dating. Will Alexis ever wise up? She retweeting stuff like “Believe none of what you HEAR, and believe only half of what you see because Looks are deceiving. THAT IS OPEN MINDED.” No, that’s naive and delusional when you’re dealing with someone with such a well documented history of screwing women over, and who admits and justifies their bad behavior repeatedly. Good luck!

A few years ago, I idly remarked that when the end came for the Kardashians, it would come by Scott Disick’s hand. I think I said something about Scott going crazy one day and in the end, he would be arrested while hauling a truck full of Kardashian bodies to some dump site (insert Kim joke). Over the past year or so, I have to say… Scott has improved slightly. He doesn’t seem so American Psycho these days, and sometimes I actually think Scott might be more committed to making his relationship with Kourtney work, and that SHE is the one causing most of the problems/drama. It seemed kind of obvious to me why Kourt and Scott never married – because they both thought they could (eventually) do better. But maybe becoming parents to Mason and Penelope changed things. Because now it’s looking more and more like Scott and Kourtney are engaged. Per Kris Jenner’s direct order, of course.

After having two of his children, Scott Disick is finally going to make Kourtney Kardashian an honest woman!

The reality stars, who have been together for five years, got engaged in Paris last week, reports Star magazine, and RadarOnline.com has the details.

“We’re all so thrilled they’ve finally decided to get engaged,” Scott’s aunt, Laurie Disick dished to Star. “We’re all so fond of Kourtney, and we wish them a long, happy marriage.”

RadarOnline.com exclusively reported that Scott was shopping for engagement rings at Levinson Jewelers in Fort Lauderdale in late October. “Scott was most definitely shopping for engagement rings,” an onlooker exclusively told Radar, “and all of them were large!”

Star reports that Scott was with Kourtney in Paris filming scenes for their reality show and thought that the romantic backdrop would be the perfect place to pop the question.

“Scott’s actually been planning to propose for a while,” an insider says, “but he just wasn’t sure when the moment would be right.”

So when the couple and their two children, Mason, 2, and Penelope, went to Paris to film Keeping Up With The Kardashians, Scott knew it was the perfect time and place to do it.

“She absolutely adores Paris, so even though they were doing double-duty there by filming scenes for Keeping Up With The Kardashians, just being in the City of Light helped put Kourtney in the right frame of mind when Scott made his move.”

After the couple “locked their love” by linking a padlock on the famous Pont des Arts Bridge and threw the key into the Seine river, Scott tried to find a quiet moment alone.

“Scott and Kourtney added a lock of their own, and then they explained to Mason what true love means. It was an intensely touching and romantic moment, and Scott got swept up in it. He waiting a bit until he and Kourtney had a moment to themselves, then he took her hand and told her that he knows he’s made mistakes in the past but that he’s learned from them. He then vowed that he would never hurt her again — and quietly asked Kourtney to marry him,” the insider spilled. “She was so overjoyed, she eagerly said yes!”

According to the mag, Kourtney and Scott’s televised wedding will rival sister Kim‘s wedding to Kris Humphries, and is expected to earn the couple $20 million in endorsement deals.

[From Hollywood Life & Radar]

Yeah, the whole thing comes from Star Magazine – this “engagement news!” is Star’s cover story this week. Even though I think the engagement is probably going down soon, I’m going to wait to call this a “confirmation” until Us Weekly reports it. Us Weekly is Kourtney’s tabloid of choice – she gave Us Weekly her second pregnancy confirmation, and they bought Penelope’s first photos.

Another reason why I think Kourt and Scott are engaged or will be soon: because momager Kris Jenner wants a “nice” Kardashian wedding story for the media to focus on while Kim is stuck in neverending divorce proceedings. First Kourt gets married off, then Kris is angling for a Kim-Kanye wedding by mid to late 2013. Trust me.

Around Christmas of 2011, Steven Tyler got engaged to Erin Brady. He’s 64 years old, she’s 38 years old. Tyler’s family and friends were somewhat dismayed because many of them felt that Erin is “just not nice” and she went out of her way to be “mean to the family.” I didn’t have any problem believing those negative reports about Erin because… well, she just looks like a mean, entitled golddigger. I know, we shouldn’t judge a book by its bitchface and all that, but seriously. Anyway, time passed and over 2012, it really seemed like Erin was nowhere to be seen. Now Page Six claims that Erin and Steven have “quietly split”. Hunh.

There’s trouble in paradise for Aerosmith lead singer Steven Tyler and his longtime fiancée, Erin Brady.

According to sources, the “Love in an Elevator” singer has quietly split with Brady — whom he proposed to in Hawaii last year — as he gears up to tour again with Aerosmith. But other sources close to the band say that while Tyler and Brady have gone through a rocky period, the couple still hopes to work it out and get married.

“Steven has quietly ended it with his fiancée,” a music insider insisted to Page Six.

The source added it’s because sober Tyler, 64, has been trying to stay on the straight-and-narrow while touring, and has found it hard maintaining a relationship with Brady, 38.

“Steven has been trying to maintain his lifestyle and to stay clean,” the source said. “The tour is really important to him and the band. So he decided to end it.”

The source added that the rest of Aerosmith has struggled to gel with Brady. “She’s been kind of a Yoko Ono character,” claimed the source. Tyler’s had a contentious history with bandmate Joe Perry, but the two buried the hatchet last year, paving the way for a new album and tour.

But a rep for Aerosmith told us: “Just as any couple goes through trials and tribulations in a relationship, Steven and Erin are asking for their privacy at this time. They are engaged to be married and each is committed to their sobriety. Any claim to the contrary is absolutely false and misleading.”

Aerosmith is about to release its new album, “Music From Another Dimension,” marking its first of all-new material in 11 years. The band is also headed on the second leg of its “Global Warming Tour.”

Former “American Idol” judge Tyler proposed to Brady in December in Hawaii, and said afterward that he wanted their nuptials to be “way over-the-top romantic.”

He hinted in March they’d tie the knot in either Hawaii or Thailand, and added of Brady, “We’re birds of a feather.” It would be his third marriage.

[From Page Six]

Yeah, it sounds less like Erin and Steven have “quietly split” and more like “Steven tried to dump her but she’s clinging and she’s bound and determined to get him down the aisle.” My guess is that they won’t get married before Aerosmith’s tour begins, and that Erin will “wait” for him and unless someone does something drastic, she’ll probably just wait him out for years until he marries her. Followed by a year-long marriage and a quick divorce with a nice settlement for Erin. Because that was her plan all along?

I think you’d be surprised by how many requests I get for more coverage of European royalty beyond the British royal family. That’s why I ended up covering those photos of Prince Guillaume and Countess Stephanie’s wedding, and that’s why I’ve been covering more and more about the Swedish royal family. Sweden’s heir is Crown Princess Victoria, who married her boyfriend of nine years, Daniel, in 2010. Victoria gave birth to her first child, “a very cute princess,” back in February of this year. So, the Swedish royal line is definitely going to be Victoria-based, which means that people will probably pay less attention to Victoria’s younger siblings, both of whom are extremely HOT. Prince Carl Philip is GORGE and many consider the youngest sibling, Princess Madeleine, to be “the hottest princess” around (she and Charlotte Casiraghi, who isn’t really a princess).

Well, bad news for those dudes and ladies who hoped to land Madeleine. She just got engaged to her boyfriend of two years! And the dude is an American!

Get ready for another royal wedding, as a transatlantic romance is about to bring an American into the Swedish royal family.

Princess Madeleine is set to marry U.S. financier Chris O’Neill, the country’s royal court announced Thursday. They have been dating for two years and got engaged earlier this month.

“He is my soulmate,” Madeleine, 30, said in an interview on the royal court’s website. “We are both extremely happy and delighted. It is a very special day for us.”

Madeleine, fourth in line to the throne, is the youngest child and second daughter of King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia.

“I appreciate Chris for his warmth and his humor,” she said. “He has a very big heart and he manages to make everyone in his presence feel good. Christopher is a very thoughtful and generous person.”

O’Neill, who has dual British-American citizenship, asked the king for permission to marry his daughter, which was granted.

“I had been thinking about proposing for a while, but I wanted to wait until the right moment,” he said in the court interview. “I have been sure all along that Madeleine was the one I wanted to marry.”

The wedding is expected to take place in Sweden next summer.

Since he is not a blood relative, O’Neill could never be king, although any children he has with Madeleine would be in line to the throne.

[From People]

I think it’s kind of cool that she’s marrying an American, except that he’s not really…? Reuters says that O’Neill was born and raised in the UK, and he just has dual American citizenship. So, not really American. Madeleine was also engaged back in 2010, but had to call off that engagement when there were charges that the dude was fooling around on her (with a Norwegian handball player, I kid you not). The Swedish royal family has been battling scandals and controversies right and left, honestly, and Crown Princess Victoria is basically the only one who is completely scandal free at this point. Maybe Madeleine will get a nice whitewashing too. Oh, and now everyone is speculating as to when Carl Philip might marry his “topless model” girlfriend. Ugh!

By the way, Madeleine’s dude looks a lot like Scarlett Johansson’s ex-boyfriend Nate Naylor, right? He looks like the kind of dude who is into rugby and polo. He’ll fit right in.

By the way, I’m including all of the “official” wedding portraits that the Swedish royal family has released. These are AWFUL photos of Maddy. She’s much prettier than this.

It’s hard to write a title that accurately portrays this mess, and I tried to be as accurate and diplomatic as possible. We’ve heard that the late Whitney Houston’s daughter, Bobbi Kristina Brown, now 19, was dating a guy named Nick Gordon in the aftermath of her mother’s untimely death. Nick is 22 and was raised in the same household as Krissi (she goes by Krissi) since he was 12. He was basically raised as her adopted brother (although I haven’t been able to confirm that Whitney ever formally adopted him) and they are said to have considered themselves brother and sister. So Krissi’s mom died and she started seeing a guy she once thought of as her brother. It’s disturbing on several levels, and Krissi’s family doesn’t approve. Whitney’s mom, Krissi’s grandmother Cissy, told a source that “what they’re doing is incestuous.” It wasn’t technically incest as they’re not related by blood, but it really creeped the family out.

Well now there’s a new Houston family reality show coming to A&E, and in a promo for the show Krissi confirms she’s engaged to Nick. Of course there’s a reality show, and of course these two are engaged.

How does the family of Whitney Houston cope after her death? Now we can find out.

We have a special sneak peek promo of A&E Network’s latest reality show, The Houstons: On Our Own, which shows how Whitney’s loved ones have tried to move on since her passing.

And for Bobbi Kristina Brown, that means getting engaged.

Rumors of the 19-year-old’s engagement to boyfriend and adopted brother Nick Gordon have been swirling around the Internet for quite some time now, but Bobbi kept denying the claims.

In the clip, you’ll see the drama revolving around Bobbi Kristina and Nick’s love affair (apparently, not everyone approves) and through what sounded like a nervous giggle, Bobbi announces, “We’re engaged!”

Watch to see how they took the news and catch the premiere of The Houstons: On Our Own on Wednesday, Oct. 24.

[From E! Online]

This still bothers me, but I have to say that after I saw Nick supporting Krissi at the Billboard Awards in May, I came away with a different opinion of him. He really seemed to adore and support her. There were allegations that he latched on to Krissi after Whitney died in order to get his hands on Whitney’s estate. They seem to really love each other at least. Again, it still seems wrong to me, and obviously Bobbi’s family agrees.

Here’s a shot of Bobbi’s engagement ring, which is from Nick’s Twitter and was posted in August. It’s sapphire although I can’t tell if those are real diamonds. Maybe it’s an heirloom ring from his/their family. Shudder. [via Daily Mail]

And here’s a promo for their new show. We don’t need more reality shows!

Another clip from the show. It shows how loved-up Krissi and Nick are, and how messed up Krissi is in the wake of her mom’s death.

I kind of thought this had already happened, but I guess not. Guy Ritchie is engaged! He proposed to his baby-mama Jacqui Ainsley at some point, and she’s showing off her ring these days – you can see it here. Guy and Jacqui have been dating since 2010, although I always thought that actual start-date of their relationship was fudged because Jacqui got pregnant so quickly and Guy wanted to make it look like he didn’t just knock up some broad that he barely knew. Jacqui is super-fertile too (sidenote: I loathe the word “fecund”). Jacqui gave birth to Guy’s third son Rafael last September, and by this summer, Jacqui was already showing off a second baby bump at the UK premiere of The Dark Knight Rises.

Guy Ritchie popped the question — and she said yes! The 44-year-old British director is engaged his longtime girlfriend Jacqui Ainsley, a source confirms to Us Weekly.

Ainsley, 30, showed off her diamond ring during a dinner date Sunday at Madeo restaurant in Los Angeles. The pregnant model flaunted her growing baby bump, and what appears to be a huge round-cut sparkler.

In July, Ainsley revealed she and Ritchie were expecting their second child together by proudly showing off her baby bump on the red carpet of The Dark Knight Rises London premiere. The couple welcomed their first child together, son Rafael, on Sept. 5 of last year.

Ritchie has been dating Ainsley since April 2010. He split from Madonna after eight years of marriage in 2008, and the exes share a biological son, Rocco, and an adopted son, David.

“I enjoyed my first marriage. It’s definitely not something I regret. The experience was ultimately very positive,” the Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows director told the December/January issue of Details. “I love the kids that came out of it, and I could see no other route to take.”

“But you move on, don’t you?” Ritchie added. “You’re right, I stepped into a soap opera, and I lived in it for quite a long period of my life. I’ll probably be more eloquent on it 10 years from now.”

[From Us Weekly]

I know I should give Guy a hard time for acting like an a—hole about his divorce from Madonna, but… I really can’t. He stuck by Madonna for a long time, and I think he just felt overwhelming relief when his marriage was over. But Madonna did something strange to him – she domesticated him. And so, like so many men, Guy plunged into another serious relationship very quickly and now he’s engaged again and expecting his second child with Jacqui. Now, do you think Madonna sheds any tears over this? Eh. I think Guy and Madonna have very complicated feelings for and about each other. It’s more complicated than “Madonna hates the new girl” or “Guy loathes everything Madonna.” Give them SOME credit. Anyway, congrats to Guy and Jacqui. (Doesn’t it seem like she’s always super-happy whenever cameras are around?)

Earlier this week, Jennifer Lopez, Casper Smart and Emme Anthony attended the Chanel show in Paris. It was all part of J.Lo and Casper’s whirlwind international extravaganza, much of it probably business-related. But I noted at the time that considering Jennifer and Casper had found themselves in Paris, “the most romantic city in the world,” perhaps they would at long last get engaged. That’s what a lot of people thought, apparently. And many sites began to play “Let’s Start An Engagement Rumor” when they saw J.Lo’s engagement-ring-finger bling at the Chanel show. Here’s a closeup:

Beautiful, right? Huge diamond, beautiful setting, ostentatious and glamorous and Totally J.Lo. So what’s wrong with this picture? If Jennifer and Casper had finally gotten engaged, do you think we’d really have to speculate about it days after she shows up somewhere with a ring? Please. When Jennifer orders Casper to propose, and when she gives him the ring which she would like to receive, he will follow through and then Jennifer’s first call will be to People Mag and BAM, we’ll all talk about it. For now, though, Jennifer is just wearing leased pieces, probably from Chanel’s jewelry line. Of course, there is a wrinkle to this theory: Jennifer wore this same huge ring on the same finger the next day, at the Valentino show. Very interesting.

Wonderwall got in touch with Jennifer’s rep, who said flat-out that Jennifer “is not engaged.” YET. So do we have to talk about it yet? I think we should just prepare ourselves for the eventual engagement. I’m predicting it will happen by the end of the year. Maybe around Thanksgiving?

For the past few weeks, there have been online buzzings about the impending engagement of Jenni “J-Woww” Farley and Roger Mathews, but I’ve been sort of ignoring the issue for two reasons: (1) A general “Jersey Shore” fatigue has drifted over the site, and no one seems to care about the cast anymore (except to say they don’t care about them); (2) Jenni and Roger fight like spray-tanned cats and dogs. Seriously, I don’t even know why they fight, but they do. Several episodes of “Snooki & J-Woww” featured the couple on the rocks, and they seemed to regularly yell and scream with each other over issues that really lead to a conclusion of incompatibility. She has issues with trusting him, and he calls her a liar and whines about never getting laid. So I guess they want to make their issues even worse by getting married, right? Sounds like a plan. Here are the details on the tacky-ass engagement ring:

What a rock! Jersey Shore’s Jenni “JWoww” Farley exclusively shows off her cushion-cut diamond engagement ring in the new issue of In Touch, on newsstands now.

“It’s more than I ever expected,” Jenni, 27, tells In Touch.

Roger, 37, says he spent months planning the proposal and worked with jeweler Layna Friedman to design the ring, with a cushion-cut diamond that’s more than 5 carats surrounded by 2.5 carats of pink and white diamonds in a white-gold setting.

“Roger’s not an average-looking guy, he’s huge: his personality, his size [6'4"]. So I always said, ‘I want my ring like you — big! The bigger the better!’”

And the first person she called to share the good news? Her best friend, Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi, who will be by her pal’s side as a bridesmaid or maid of honor when she walks down the aisle. “If there’s anyone in this world that wanted me to be engaged more than me,” Jenni says, “it’d be Nicole.”

[From In Touch]

Hahaha. If Roger thinks getting married will get him laid more often, well, this should be amusing. Still, J-Woww has her ring, and now she and Snooki are both engaged, and that’s all these two have ever wanted in life besides more leopard-print fabric. I’m guessing that J-Woww may have sprung for the ring because, if I’m not mistaken, Roger works in the truck-driving industry now? He used to be a personal trainer, but J-Woww wanted him to not work around hot chicks all the time. I don’t know.

In the meantime, I’ve been growing increasingly aghast at the amount of fillers and botox that J-Woww is stuffing into her face. She’s denied the issue before last year, but at that point, it was pretty obvious that make-up tricks, false lashes, and weight loss could explain her changing face. Then earlier this year, she seemed unable to move her face at all, so she’s clearly jumped on the injectibles train. These screencaps of the “Snooki & J-Woww” themesong are just ridiculous too. Jenni looked so much better before she started turning herself into an orange mannequin.

The thought just struck me as I read the headline over at People.com, and I think I have an answer for why *some* people can’t get on board with gay marriage: gay engagements need more jewelry. The jewelry, the showing of the ring, the discussion of the ring, all of that is so important to all of us judgy bitches in the cheap seats. If gay engagements had more jewelry, it would seem more similar to hetero engagements, and more people would realize, “Oh. It’s the same.” That’s just my theory. Anyway, Modern Family’s Jesse Tyler Ferguson has proposed to his boyfriend of two years, Justin Mikita. Justin said yes! But there’s no mention of any man-gagement ring!

Jesse Tyler Ferguson is heading down the aisle.

The Modern Family star is engaged to his boyfriend, lawyer Justin Mikita, he has revealed.

“It’s true, I popped the big Q,” Ferguson says in a video posted on the website for the newly created foundation Tie the Knot, which supports the fight for marriage equality.

“I said yes!” Mikita answers in the clip.

Ferguson, 36, and Mikita, 27, who have been dating for nearly two years, hope their union will eventually be considered official nationwide.

They’ve also teamed up with Tie Bar to create a collection of bowties with all proceeds being donated to various organizations to help gay and lesbian couples receive civil rights.

[From People]

So how do you propose if you are not offering a ring? If we can’t talk about jewelry, can we at least talk about the proposal? Was it on a boat? Were there rose petals? Was Otis Redding playing in the background? Anyway, congrats to Jesse and Mikita. I love Jesse. I think I love Jesse more than I love his Modern Familuy character, quite honestly.

Here’s the video of Jesse and Mikita. OMG Mikita’s BROWS. OMG.
