People Magazine has confirmed that Calista Flockhart and Harrison Ford are engaged. The couple got engaged on Valentine’s Day, and last month we reported the rumors of the pending nuptials. Harrison Ford is 66 years old, and this will be his third marriage. Calista is 44 years old and this will be her first marriage.

According to People, they have been together for seven and a half years, which sounds about right. Allegedly, they met for the first time in 2002, and started dating soon after. Calista was (and is) a single mother to son Liam, whom she adopted in 2001 as a newborn. The rumor is that Harrison is very close to Liam, and that Calista wants Harrison to formally adopt Liam. People has more:

Harrison Ford and girlfriend Calista Flockhart are engaged to be married, sources close to the couple confirm exclusively to PEOPLE.

Ford, 66, surprised Flockhart, 44, with an engagement ring on Valentine’s Day weekend while the two were away on a family vacation with son Liam.

Reps for the couple did not return calls.

The couple has been together for seven and a half years. No wedding date has been set yet.

Good luck with that, Calista. And I really mean that. She’s put in more than seven years to this relationship and she’s even let her son get close to Harrison. Harrison’s going to look like a tool (in my opinion) if he doesn’t marry Calista. I really hope this wedding happens… I think it probably will, but we won’t hear much about it. They both seem to take their privacy seriously. Congratulations to the happy couple!

Fashion designer Marc Jacobs has been called one of the most powerful gay men in America. Seriously, they make lists like that. As the head of his self-named clothing line - as well as the creative director of Louis Vuitton - Marc Jacobs has become that rare hybrid celebrity fashion designer. He has famous friends (Winona Ryder, Sofia Coppola) and he’s had enough scandals to drown a lesser man.

Could a guy like this settle down? Maybe, maybe not. Women’s Wear Daily (story via People) is reporting that Marc and his boyfriend of a year are engaged. People has more:

Rumors have been swirling in the fashion world for months, but Women’s Wear Daily is now reporting that Marc Jacobs is engaged to his ad executive boyfriend Lorenzo Martone.

The couple has been dating for roughly a year and are allegedly going public with the news tomorrow when they arrive in Martone’s homeland of Brazil wearing rings.

The couple is headed to Sao Paolo to celebrate the designer’s multi-brand store, which opened in January. The 45-year old designer has another reason to celebrate this week - he was just nominated for the CFDA womenswear designer of the year award.

Oh, Marc is getting himself a hot Brazilian husband! Well done. It could totally be possible that the rings they were wearing were just accessories. Or commitment rings, or something like that. I find it charming that the goalpost for gay couples has been officially moved by People Magazine. Now even a mainstream magazine like People is getting into the “are they getting married?” speculation for gay couples, which is awesome.

Christina Ricci and her co-star Owen Benjamin have announced their engagement. The pair met in mid-2008 while filming the romantic comedy All’s Faire in Love and confirmed their relationship in October. Christina’s rep confirmed the report to People magazine. In their archives they have this comment from Christina in 2007.

“I’m definitely more at a time in my life where I want to settle down,” Ricci, 27, who dates actor-director Adam Goldberg, tells the UK’s Tatler in its June issue.

When it comes to walking down the aisle, “I think about that a lot,” she says. “Sometimes it sounds really good, but then I’m not actually sure I’d want to go through with the wedding. Although I feel like if we didn’t have a wedding, my family would be mad at me, and Adam’s family would be mad at him.”

She adds, laughing: “That’s just a whole thing – I don’t want to deal with it because you know you’re going to get in trouble. I just want to be married, or just engaged. Basically, I just want a ring. And the tax break.”

From People

Awww, how romantic.

All’s Faire in Love, the film where Christina met her fiance, is described as being a camp romantic comedy, “falling somewhere between Shakespeare in Love and Meatballs” on IMBD. No, I’m not making this up. It’s about a theater troupe competing for the best place at a Renaissance Faire.

Owen Benjamin is a reasonably unknown actor, who was in the The House Bunny film and Gaytown television series. I’ve loved Christina ever since she was in Casper when I was a kid, and it’s nice to hear she’s found love. Congratulations!

All’s Faire in Love is in cinemas sometime in 2009, a release date has not been confirmed.

One of Hollywood’s most notorious bachelors is getting ready to tie the knot. “Wedding Crashers” star Vince Vaughan, once linked to Jennifer Aniston, is engaged to Canadian real estate agent Kyla Weber. Wow! This one was somewhat of a shocker to me. I always thought Vince would go the way of George Clooney. He seemed like the kind of guy who likes to have fun and never settle down. But maybe that’s just because of the characters he always plays in his movies. Apparently, the couple was trying to keep it under wraps, but the cat was let out of the bag by Weber’s father, who confirmed the engagement to a Canadian newspaper. I didn’t even know Vince was dating anyone!

It’s true.

Actor Vince Vaughn is set to marry 29-year-old Calgary realtor Kyla Weber shortly, her father confirmed Thursday.

Ken Weber confirmed that his daughter is indeed engaged to the Wedding Crashers funnyman, but chose not to comment further. He says his daughter is presently in Los Angeles and no longer in Calgary.

Weber quickly became a hot topic on Wednesday when news broke that Vaughn had dropped to one knee and presented her a $125,000, four-carat ring on Valentine’s Day. There is no word on when or where the two will get married.

Internet sources claim Weber is originally from the town of Okotoks, just south of the city, and either met the Wedding Crashers star while vacationing in Venice Beach, California, or in Italy. The pair are rumoured to have met through a movie producer friend of Vaughn’s.

In Touch Magazine spoke with a friend of Vaughn’s in December who said that the 38-year-old actor is looking to settle down.

“Vince is ready to get married and has been for a while,” says the buddy. “He wants to start a family.”

Since his previous high-profile romance to Friends star Jennifer Aniston quickly became tabloid fodder, the Minnesota-born actor, has been reluctant to discuss the details of his new engagement.

“I don’t talk much about private matters,” Vaughn told USA Today last year. “But I am in a very happy, serious, committed relationship.”

Coincidently, Vaughn’s Canadian-born mother was also a real estate agent.

Congratulations to Vince and his bride-to-be. It’s actually pretty cool that Vince found happiness with a normal girl instead of another Hollywood actress-type. He just might turn out to be a great husband. He seems like he’d be a lot of fun, you know? The kind of guy you could crack open a beer with at the end of a long day.Ms. Weber is one lucky lady.

According to the National Enquirer, teen heartthrobs Zac Efron, 21, and Vanessa Hudgens are secretly engaged. The High School Musical star is said to have popped the question to his sweetheart while they were in Japan this January. They’ve been staying in Vanessa’s new home together, and the engagement is a way to appease Vanessa’s mother, who doesn’t want them to live together before marriage:

Zac… proposed to Vanessa during a joint trip to Japan in late January, say sources. The two are planning a long engagement and will tie the knot in 2010.

Zac hasn’t given Vanessa a ring yet, say sources - but he’s hoping the proposal will buy him some time with Vanessa’s super-strict mom, Gina, who didn’t approve of the sweethearts living together before they were married.

[From The National Enquirer, print edition, March 2, 2009]

You can say “Oh this is just The National Enquirer,” but they get a lot of stories right, and were the first to break the news of Vanessa’s nude photo scandal before the pictures even surfaced. I would bet this is true and these two are engaged, but whether it’s just for Vanessa’s mother’s sake or if they’re serious about it is up to question. It doesn’t seem like they really mean it if he didn’t get a ring. They seem way too young to be married, especially considering how famous they are. It’s not easy to make a marriage work at that age, especially in Hollywood.

Here are photos of Zac and Vanessa at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party and at the Golden Globes on 1/11/09. Thanks to WENN

People Magazine reported last week that an “insider” confirmed that longterm couple Rachel Bilson, 27, and Hayden Christensen, 27, were engaged. The news came out when Rachel was supposedly spotted wearing an engagement ring on an airplane, where she was said to have told a fellow passenger she was engaged when he asked about it. Neither Rachel nor Hayden’s reps confirmed the enagement, but since People was reporting it we thought it was safe to assume that it was true.

Now Bilson has been spotted out shopping in LA yesterday while wearing a beautiful emerald cut solitaire ring so I think we have our answer.

Vancouver born Christensen owns a 200 acre farm north of Toronto, where he has two pet potbellied pigs and a vegetable garden. Bilson has been spotted visiting Christensen’s working farm.

Congratulations to the couple!

Mandy Moore is officially engaged to singer Ryan Adams, 34, - not to be confused with singer Bryan Adams, 49, who he is frequently announced as on the radio.

Mandy Moore will tie the knot with her musician beau Ryan Adams, her publicist confirms to People.

Details on the engagement weren’t immediately available. Moore, 24, and Adams, 34, had dated off-and-on since March 2008.

People

In March 2008 Mandy had just finished supporting her ex-boyfriend DJ AM following his plane crash, and it was generally assumed that the two were an item at the time. She and Ryan have also been on-again off-again in their relationship.

Ryan is ten years older than Mandy, and has a history of drug abuse. He’s been clean for around 3 years. I hope that these two can be successful together - I wouldn’t want to see Mandy in a similar situation to Nicole Kidman, celebrating her honeymoon period alone while her husband is in rehab.

Mandy is releasing an album in May, titled Amanda Leigh, through her new label, recently established by her manager.

Ryan has just quit his band the Cardinals, in part due to his hearing loss related to Ménière’s disease, which is characterized by dizziness, tinnitus and progressive hearing loss. Ryan is publishing his first book this year, titled Infinity Blues, and plans to write at least two more books.

Congratulations to the couple - Mandy is going to make such a gorgeous bride.

Claire Danes and Hugh Dancy have become engaged. Danes, 29, has been dating the British actor for more than a year, reports People Magazine, but if my memory serves, I think it’s been closer to two years. After “breaking up” (perhaps the term “homewrecking” applies?) Billy Crudup and a very pregnant Mary-Louise Parker in 2004, Danes and Crudup dated for about three years.

Allegedly, Danes and Crudup broke up towards the end of 2006, which is around the time she met Hugh Dancy. She and Dancy met while filming the film Evening. Danes confirmed her relationship with Dancy the summer of 2007. So, yeah, I’m probably right and People’s not - they’ve been together closer to two years.

Claire Danes and Hugh Dancy will be getting married, a rep for the pair confirms to PEOPLE exclusively.

Danes, 29, and Dancy, 33, met while filming Evening in Newport, R.I., and had been dating for more than a year.

The couple recently stepped out at the Screen Actors Guild and Directors Guild awards in Los Angeles.

From People Magazine

Ordinarily, I would make a bad joke about the name “Hugh Dancy”, but I really like the guy. I saw him first in The Jane Austen Book Club, and he is really cute. The couple currently lives in New York, where they are likely to stay. I just looked up Dancy’s filmography, and I am surprised to learn he was in Basic Instinct 2! Yikes. He’s also the love interest in that horrible-looking film Confessions of a Shopaholic, probably one of the worst-timed film releases in history. Congratulations to the happy couple!

Lance Armstrong, 37, has proposed to his pregnant girlfriend, Anna Hansen. It will be the athlete’s third engagement and his second marriage. Armstrong has three children with his ex wife, Kristin Richards: Luke, nine, and twins Isabelle and Grace, eight. All of Lance’s children were conceived through artificial insemination using sperm he banked before undergoing treatment for testicular cancer in 1996. His latest child was conceived naturally after it was thought that he was infertile, suggesting that it was an accidental pregnancy.

According to the upcoming issue of In Touch, Armstrong staged a romantic proposal on the beach:

Cyclist Lance Armstrong is going to make an honest woman out of his pregnant girlfriend, Anna Hansen, according to In Touch Weekly.

The magazine sources one of his pals, who claims Armstrong asked Hansen to marry him during a recent trip to Hawaii.

“Lance proposed on the beach,” the friend told the mag. “Although he has a reputation as a ladies’ man, he’s also very traditional, and just feels more comfortable being married before having a baby.”

[From MSNBC's The Scoop]

Armstrong retired from professional cycling in 2005 after a record breaking seven Tour de France wins, but it’s not over for him yet. He announced his comeback last fall and will compete in the Tour de France this year. Armstrong spent the last three years focusing on his philanthropic and cancer advocacy work, but also kept up his physical fitness by competing in the marathons in NY and Boston in 2006, 2007, and 2008. He’ll soon have even more responsibility in his life as he welcomes his fourth child with a new wife.

Vince Vaughn has been notably absent from the promotional rounds for his hit movie Four Christmases, while Reese Witherspoon has been promoting it like her life depends on it. Is it because he’s trying to keep a low public profile leading up to his engagement?

In Touch has this, “Vince Vaughn is hoping to go from a Wedding Crasher to a wedding planner — he intends to propose to his girlfriend, Kyla Weber, over the New Year’s holiday. According to one of Vince’s buddies, the actor has already picked out a diamond engagement ring that is more than 4 carats and costs around $125,000.”

The magazine claims that the chatty source added, “Vince is ready to get married and has been for a while,” his pal explains. “He wants to start a family.” This all sounds very familiar if you flash back about a year and half as many reports had Vince and Jennifer married several times over.

The report notes that another sign that might suggest it’s the real deal is that “In September, the couple was spotted meeting with his parents in Chicago. Vince, 38, has dated many actresses, including Jennifer Aniston, but Kyla is a former real estate agent from a town near Calgary, Canada.”

National Ledger

I’m not sure how good a ‘pal’ this source can be of Vince’s, since he’s blowing the lid on his plans to ask his girlfriend to marry him. If Vince is planning a big romantic surprise, he’s not going to be pleased when his girlfriend reads about it online.

Unfortunately, the report mentions Jennifer Aniston several times over, including in the headline. If Vince does get married and have a family, will she get featured all over again as the woman who let the husband and kids get away?

I somewhat doubt Vince is getting engaged this weekend, I think the real reason he skipped the Four Christmases promotion was that the film just really isn’t that funny, Reese and Vince lack chemistry. Maybe they really didn’t get along on the film set, and he can’t be counted on like Reese to be polite and cheerful about their working relationship in interviews.
