Over the weekend, the Daily Mail caused a stir when they announced that Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal would soon be married. According to the British paper, The Prince of Persia star reportedly told friends he was getting married sometime around his birthday (December 19).

“He told me he had proposed several times but she kept telling him she wanted to give their relationship more time. When he asked her again a couple of weeks ago, she finally said yes,” said the source.

Unfortunately, the lovebirds dashed our hopes when they quickly denied the nuptial news. In a statement given to People, reps for both stars said the story was simply a rumor. “They are not engaged, getting married or any of the reports.”

Okay - so while I wait for Ryan and Rachel to reunite, could someone please make sure to get these two moving along?

By now, most of you already know that Kathy Griffin and Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak are no longer dating. (If you hadn’t already heard the news, I’m sorry I ruined this season of Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List for you.) Now we’re getting a hint as to why the two parted ways.

While talking to Us Magazine, the comedienne admitted that she and Wozniak were never intimate. “We were dating, but were just friendly. I never f----d him or anything!” She went on to say that they were never really a couple in the traditional sense. “The truth is, we really were friends the whole time.”

Nearly two months after brooding cutie Ryan Philippe told USA Today that “it’s bizarre” to see his ex-wife Reese Witherspoon with another man (Jake Gyllenhaal), Ryan has finally lived up to the rumors that him and his Stop-Loss co-star were dating.

Philippe and his new girl, Abbie Cornish, appeared together at a 2008 Australian in Film Breakthrough Awards, making it quite clear to everyone that they were indeed an item. “They were adorable,” a guest recalls. “He had his arm around her and they were cozy and comfortable.”

The actress from down under was honored for a Breakthrough Award for her performance in the Kimberly Peirce‘s military drama.

Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Reynolds Engaged

Posted by Veronica Santiago
Categories: Movies, Music, Engagements

This is really turning out to be a busy month for Scarlett Johansson.  Not only will she be debuting her first album on May 20th, she’s now sporting a new sparkly ring.

People magazine reports the 23-year-old recently became engaged to Definitely, Maybe‘s Ryan Reynolds, her boyfriend of one year.  Johansson’s rep said the proposal actually happened a while ago, though no specific details were disclosed.

This will be the first marriage for both actors.  In the past, Scarlett has been linked to Josh Hartnett, her co-star in The Black Dahlia, and Chapter 27‘s Jared Leto.  This will not be the first engagement for Reynolds though.  The 31-year-old was previously set to marry singer Alanis Morissette.  In fact, the two officially broke up shortly before he started dating Johansson.

No wedding date for the happy couple has yet been announced.

Did Mariah Carey Marry Nick Cannon?

Right now crews from Entertainment Tonight and The Insider are somewhere out there trying to get this story straight....

Depending on who you choose to believe, singers Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon are either just dating, engaged or already married.  Although the two have been spotted together in the past several weeks, the ‘couple’ has artfully dodged any dating rumors.  Then last Saturday, Mariah appeared at an after party for her new movie (Tennessee) while sporting a large rock on her ring finger.

Ashlee Simpson Reportedly Pregnant

I guess this calls for another round of congratulations?

According to Us Magazine, Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz may have had more than one reason to get engaged.  The couple is also reportedly pregnant.

The two confirmed the nuptial news last week, sometime after the Fall Out Boy star asked papa Joe for approval.  (Assuming the rumor is true, I doubt the patriarch was really given much of a choice.)

I must say, this pregnancy probably couldn’t have come at a much better time for the Simpson clan.  As it is, I think both Ashlee and Jessica have more than enough time in their career schedules to watch over the babe.

Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz Now Engaged

Posted by Veronica Santiago
Categories: Music, Engagements

I believe we have officially hit the trifecta now.  In the past 24 hours, we’ve had a broken engagement, a dissolved divorce and now a marriage-to-be.

These two lovebirds hinted a short time ago that this day would come, and now it finally has: Pete Wentz and Ashlee Simpson are officially engaged.

Back in February, Ashlee said her promise ring simply meant her beau hadn’t asked her father for permission yet.  (I’m guessing that exchange has already happened and that Pete made it out alive.)

In a statement to her fans, Ashlee said:

“Yes, we are thrilled to share that we are happily engaged. Thank you for all of your support and well wishes – it means the world to us. We consider this to be a very private matter, and we wanted to be the first to tell you and to hear it straight from us.”

While I definitely have opinions about a 23-year-old and a 28-year-old getting married these days, I will keep them to myself.  The best of luck to them both.

Engagement Over for Mary-Louise Parker

I give up.  I’m not sure when Mary-Louise Parker will get her happy ending now.

Just two months after I congratulated the Weeds actress for her engagement, People magazine reports the blissful period is sadly over.  For reasons currently unknown, she and co-star Jeffrey Dean Morgan have already called it quits.  Hopefully this decision will finally put an end to the former couple’s on-again, off-again relationship.

Now Parker has a highly-publicized breakup with Billy Crudup and a broken engagement to Morgan under her belt.  Luckily, the mother of two has much more important things to attend to.

Beyonce and Jay-Z: Headed to the Altar?

Categories: Music, Engagements, Rumors

Could this simply be an April Fool’s joke...or is that what they’d like you to believe?

According to People, Beyonce and Jay-Z have finally taken the next step in their relationship:  They’ve secured a marriage license.  A source tells the magazine that the lovebirds - who have been together since 2002 - obtained the paperwork earlier today in Scarsdale, New York.

Assuming the rumors are true, that means we should probably expect to hear wedding bells for the musicians sometime very soon.  The license hits its expiration date in 60 days.

Mirror ball, schmirror ball.  Two former participants of Dancing with the Stars have had much better things to celebrate in the past few weeks.

In an upcoming issue of Essence magazine, Laila Ali reveals that she will soon have an entirely new role to master.  The professional boxer - and Season Four competitor - is now becoming a mom.

Laila, 30, married former NFL player Curtis Conway last July, just a few months after her dancing run ended.  Although this will be the couple’s first child together, Conway, 37, already has two sons and a daughter.

Pregnant or not, Ali is still expected to return as co-host of American Gladiators this summer.
