Engagement: The Latest Celebrity Trend.

It seems like every time you turn your computer or television on or flip threw a magazine you hear the news of another celebrity's engagement.

Celebrity weddings are out. Celebrity pregnancies were five minutes ago. Celebrity engagements are the hot thing now.

Some of the most recent celebrity engagements are:

Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo announced their engagement in early November. The couple has been together on and off for the past five years. Proposing seems to have been a smart move on Lachey's behalf, as their have been numerous rumors floating around that Minnillo was getting annoyed by Lachey's lack of commitment. It has been rumored that she wanted to leave him if he didn't propose to her soon.

Not to be outdone by her ex-husband, Jessica Simpson also reported her engagement just days after Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo's announcement. Simpson began dating her fiance, former NFL star, Eric Johnson, this past summer. The relationship was reminiscent of her former love affair with Dallas Cowboy's quarterback, Tony Romo, except things with Johnson seem to be moving at a much more rapid pace. I have a strong feeling that this relationship won't last...

Shania Twain and Frederic Thiebaud. The couple is said to have been engaged for quite some time, but have just recently made their engagement public.

Star of the latest "it" movie to reach Hollywood, Black Swan, Natalie Portman, recently announced that she is both engaged to and carrying Benjamin Millepied's child. The couple met on the set of Black Swan when Millepied worked as Portman's choreographer.

Leann Rimes got engaged to her fiance, Eddie Cibrian on Christmas Eve. The couple was rumored to be engaged several times over the past few months, but this is the first time they've come forward and confirmed the rumors. The couple has faced much scrutiny because both of them cheated on their spouses to be together. It leaves many wondering if they can last and remain faithful to each other now, or if karma will serve their new marriage misfortune.

Today it was announced that Lily Allen is engaged to her boyfriend of several years, Sam Cooper. This is the first happy news that Allen have had in awhile, since suffering from her second miscarriage and then falling ill to blood poisoning.

Lily Allen and Sam Cooper weren't the only ones with news of engagement today. Reese Witherspoon and boyfriend, Jim Toth, also announced their engagement today. Jim serves as Reese's CAA agent and the couple have been dating for slightly less than a year.

It is also rumored that Britney Spears may be engaged to her beau, Jason Trawick. It has yet to be confirmed, but Spears has been spotted out with what appears to be a diamond ring on her ring finger. The rumors have yet to be confirmed though.

Who's wedding are you most looking forward to? Who do you think will rush to the altar first? Or, more importantly, who do you think will be the next celebrity to take part in the new celebrity engagement trend?

Miley Cyrus Recieves Backlash for Sexy New Music Video

Miley Cyrus recently debuted a new music video for her new single, "Who Owns My Heart?", and if you thought her "Can't Be Tamed", video was bad, that's nothing compared to this!

The video features a scantily clad Cyrus laying on a bed, seemingly inviting a lover over for sex. The video then shifts to a bathroom scene with a less-than-half dressed Cyrus leaning against the tub. This part of the video reminds me of Britney Spears' "Every time" video, not good, considering shortly after Spears shot that video she suffered from a major breakdown.

Following the bathroom scene Cyrus goes clubbing and is seen making out with and being grouped by several men and women. The video repeats all three scenes various times.

Let me remind you that Miley Cyrus is 17---still a minor.

Many parents and groups are outraged over Cyrus' sexy, possibly R rated music video.

The Parents Television Council has stated their disgust. They are particularly disappointed that Cyrus would choose to behave this way when she knows that a majority of her fan base is made up of young kids.

The video can be seen below:



What do you think of Cyrus' new music video? Is it too sexy for a 17 year old? Do you agree with The Parents Television Council, or do you think everyone is just over-reacting?

Spoiler Alert! Which Songs Will Be Used in Tomorrow's Britney/Brittany Episode of Glee?

They are:

1. Me Against the Music
2. Toxic
3. I'm a Slave 4 U
4. Baby One More Time
5. Oops...I Did it Again
6. Stronger


I like about half of this list. Baby One More Time is definitely a classic. It wouldn't be right to omit it. Oops...I Did it Again was actually the song that made the 11 year old version of myself a super-fan. I'm a Slave 4 U I feel brought in a whole new era of Britney Spears. In my opinion, that was the first single off of her last truly good record. I hate "Me Against the Music", regardless of who sings it. It's just a truly god-awful song. I hate the Britney Spears version of "Toxic", but I like how the Glee kids re-made it, actually. I really love "Stronger", but I'll admit that I'm rather surprised to see that listed as one of the chosen songs.

I wish that they were doing "Womanizer". It was fairly successful and I think they could have played it up in a number of ways, such as having Emma sing it about Will. "Will, you're a slut...". lol. None of Britney's songs from "Circus" made the cut, which is kind of surprising.

Are you happy with the set list? Which songs would you add/delete if you could?

New in the Jewelry Industry is...Spongebob Squarepants?

Yes, it's true. Clothing designer, Russell Simmons recently annouced his plans to add a jewelry line devoted specifically to Spongebob. His line is said to be similar to Kimora Lee Simmon's Hello Kitty jewelry line, only for men. However, I think the jewelry still looks a bit too girly for most men to wear. It has not yet been stated when the jewelry will be availble for sale or how much it will cost, but considering it is being labled as "luxiorous", it will probably be a bit on the pricey side. Also, the brand's compeitor, Kimora Lee Simmons's Hello Kitty line, once designed a Hello Kitty necklace for Britney Spears that cost over $50,000. If Russell plans to keep up with his compeition then the price must be in about the same range.

Here are some pictures of the Spongebob jewelry:


























My favorite piece is the last ring, though I'm not crazy with any of them to be honest. I wish they showed spongebob's whole face instead of just part of it and his eye. Also, I think Russell may have overdone it a bit with all of the flowers. I wonder if any of the other characters such as Patrick or Squidward will become a part of the jewerly line.

What do you think of the Spongebob jewelry? Would you buy it or wear it?

Perez Hilton's Record Label, Perezcious Music, Signs First Artist.

The first artist to be signed to Perez Hilton's record label, Perezcious Music, is Sliimy. His music sounds really unique and outrageous. It's hard to compare it to anything, because it is truly in a league of its on. Sliimy could either acquire massive success or be a one hit wonder. It's hard to say how the public will respond to his music. I'm lukewarm to his music so far. I listened to his song, "Trust Me" and it was OK. I HATED his version of Britney Spear's "Womanizer" and I also did not like his original song, "Magic Game". "My God" is playing now and it is just OK. I don't see Sliimy as being an artist I would listen to frequently. His music seems to match Perez Hilton's personality and after only a few minutes of listening it's not very surprising to see why Perez choose to sign him first. However, if Hilton is looking for success in his record business, I think signing Sliimy will be a real gamble. He sounds more like a comedy act than a serious singer.
