Quote of the Day: Beyonce on Rings

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music

For the November issue of Essence magazine, singer Beyonce Knowles finally opens up about her April wedding to Jay-Z.

In the interview, Knowles explains why she was against a big traditional wedding (“It’s been my day so many days already”) and why she didn’t want an engagement ring:

“People put too much emphasis on that. It’s just material and it’s just silly to me.”

Uhhh….is this coming from the same person currently sporting a $5 million dollar ring?

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Music, Weddings

Sometimes pictures - or massive pieces of jewelry - really do speak louder than words.

Even though Beyonce and Jay-Z have not yet acknowledged their April nuptials, the Dreamgirls star has slowly been confirming the news her own way.

In the past few weeks, the singer has occasionally been seen with a very large rock on her ring finger. The flawless 18 carat gem - designed by Lorraine Schwartz - is valued at a whopping $5 million.

I guess someone won’t be needing to worry about the financial crisis anytime soon.

Are Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz Heading Towards the Altar?

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Engagements, Rumors

While Jessica Simpson is still trying to figure out her latest relationship with quarterback Tony Romo, sister Ashlee Simpson seems to be sailing along in her love life.

Or so her promise ring tells her.

The singer recently revealed that boyfriend Pete Wentz was the person behind her new piece of jewelry.  Does this mean an engagement will soon be coming? Who knows?  As Ashlee put it, “It just means that he hasn’t asked my dad yet.”  (I’d do my best to avoid Joe Simpson as well.)

Does anyone want to let Ashlee know that promise rings are usually given by men are who simply stalling for time?

Then again, maybe they’re both stalling for time.  It’d just be awful if she found happiness before her big sis did.
