engagements (22 posts)

Ay, caramba. Relations between Mexico and France apparently aren't as smooth as once thought.

A rep for Salma Hayek and her French billionaire baby daddy, François-Henri Pinault, has confirmed the couple of two years and parents of one have called off their engagement.

No reason was given for the nuptial nixing, and there's no word on whether the couple plans to stay together despite the sudden lack of wedding bells in their future.

"We are sad to announce the engagement of Salma Hayek and François-Henri Pinault has been canceled," Hayek spokeswoman Cari Ross tells E! News. "There will be no further comment."

Mena Suvari's choir girl character wasn't a part of American Wedding, but the actress herself is ready for another slice of the marital pie.

The 29-year-old actress is engaged to her music producer beau, Simone Sestito, Suvari's rep confirmed Wednesday to E! News.

Sestito popped the question to the American Pie (and Beauty) star during the couple's recent trip to Jamaica, after less than a year of dating. They met last September during the Toronto International Film Festival.

If you pushed the snooze button instead of listening to Ryan Seacrest's morning show on KIIS-FM, then you probably don't know that marriage engagements are like stripper poles and that Carmen Electra doesn’t much care for paperwork. (Like they say, the early bird catches the, um, writhing, squirmy bit of information.)

While we had already told you that Carmen is in no rush to marry fiancé Rob Patterson, we didn’t know that her hesitation was due not to the fact that she'd been married twice before but to an aversion to filing.

Confused? Here's how Carm tells it...

And she has a purse!

OK, we admit it. We don't have any pressing reason to run this photo of gorgeous Victoria's Secret model Adriana Lima, who just got engaged to NBA player Marko Jaric.

But we didn't figure you'd argue about it.

 

Sorry, guys. Your favorite virgin supermodel is off the market.

Victoria's Secret catwalker Adriana Lima has officially gotten engaged to NBA hoops man Marko Jaric, starting shooting guard for the Minnesota Timberwolves, his rep confirms.

Jaric, 29, popped the question on the voluptuous brunette beauty's 27th birthday Thursday and presented her with a ring. The couple have been dating for about nine months.

With all of the staged photo ops and fake feuds, even Speidi must have a hard time keeping track of their relationship status.

But in the latest publicity stunt, Heidi Montag says she is "ready to marry Spencer," or—as she calls her bleached-blonde counterpart—"my soulmate."

According to Us Weekly, the flame was relit (or just reenacted for the cameras) on a not-so-secret getaway to Mexico.

"Heidi read me biblical passages like 'Honor thy wife,' " says Spencer of the make-or-break vacation. How very, um, romantic?

How long now until Heidi breaks down and reveals to Us yet again that they're not actually getting married after all? And if they have to be fake, can't they at least be a little less predictable?

Sure he's fast, but NFL star Reggie Bush had a little trouble keeping up with girlfriend (and Keeping Up With the Kardashians star) Kim Kardashian's sense of humor in an interview with People. Asked about a ring she was wearing, Kardashian told the mag, "I'm about two months' pregnant right now and we're getting married on Aug. 8 of 2008."

People noted that Bush appeared stricken until she added, "It's a joke."

Good one, Kim. Giving Reggie a heart attack is perfect cardio preparation for NFL training camp, which is just about to begin.

George Takei is going ring shopping.

The Star Trek helmsman and his partner of 21 years, Brad Altman, are engaged to be married.

"This is something we've been passionately committed to, so, no, there's no cold feet," Takei told E! News today.

Altman proposed last Thursday, shortly after the California Supreme Court struck down a state law banning same-sex unions.

"I was planning on asking Brad, but he got down on one knee, and, of course, I said, yes," Takei said. "I told Brad, 'You beat me to it.' "

Having trouble understanding what Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz see in each other? This won’t help.

The betrothed couple blabbered about their beginnings on L.A. radio station STAR 98.7 FM this morning, with Wentz complaining that Ashlee kept him “in the friend zone” for a full year.

Ashlee so completely didn’t notice Pete that, after they had already met, he had to email her a photo of him to jog her memory. (Guess she wasn’t a Fall Out Boy fan back then.)

But things apparently took off quickly after that: “The first time we hung out she flashed me,” Pete says.

“I lifted my dress over my head for him,” Ashlee says. “So it was love at first sight.”

And we bet he’s been wearing her panties ever since.
