BROOKLYN BECKHAM: WHAT’S THE RUSH?

Not sure if the pandemic had anything to do with it, but it was a big surprise when Brooklyn Beckham, 21, announced in July that he and his girlfriend, actress Nicola Peltz, 25, were engaged! He’s WAY too young! Brooklyn studied photography for a year at Parsons School of Design in New York, but left in 2018 when he became homesick. He worked as an intern for a photographer in the UK for awhile, but hasn’t resumed his education. Nicola comes from a wealthy New York family and has been having some success as an actress. Hopefully they won’t rush into marriage…

DOLPH LUNDGREN AND HIS BRIDE-TO-BE

Dolph Lundgren, 62, is careful to follow American regulations preventing Covid-19, even though his home country, Sweden, has minimal rules and no lockdown. It makes sense that he and his girlfriend Emma Krokdal were in Sweden where they could actually celebrate getting engaged in June. Emma, a personal trainer, is only 24 years old, and we can’t help but wonder what they have in common to talk about. After all, Dolph is not only a karate champ, but he has a masters degree in chemical engineering – making him considerably smarter than MOST actors…

HERO OF THE DAY: AMANDA BYNES’ MOTHER LYNN

Being Amanda Bynes’ mother and conservator must be one of the toughest jobs in the world. The former child star’s mother Lynn has been wrestling with Amanda’s mental problems for years. It seems that every time Amanda seems to be making progress (like graduating in June from FIDM) she relapses. Certainly her mom is terrified every time Amanda drives (remember the DUIs?) On Valentines Day Amanda announced that she is engaged to Paul Michael, a guy she met at her sober living facility. Lynn intervened, the engagement was called off, and today Paul announced that they are back together and Amanda is pregnant! Chaos! NOW what’s a mother to do? The intrusive internet is not helping Amanda’s problems- she reads everything. Last we heard Amanda is back in a mental health treatment center. Lynn is doing her best…

WILMER VALDERRAMA FINALLY MADE A DECISION

NCIS looker Wilmer Valderrama, 39, has finally made up his mind about who to marry and he got engaged to model/scuba diver Amanda Pacheco, 28. It’s interesting to note that although Wilmer has dated lots of pretty actresses (including Demi Lovato) and he’s been referred to as a “Hollywood lothario,” he has never been married OR engaged as far as we know. Amanda is as athletic as she is beautiful, so she’s quite a catch too. They’ve been together around 8 months and were seen frolicking in Tokyo and Paris this summer, so something was bound to happen.

JENNIFER LAWRENCE: WHAT’S YOUR HURRY?

Are we alone in our disappointment that Jennifer Lawrence is engaged? What’s the rush? She’s only 28, and we figured she had YEARS of varied and interesting relationships ahead of her. Just BEING Jennifer meant that doors opened everywhere and romance possibilities were endless. Sad to see it all end in marriage so soon- hopefully it will be a LONG engagement. Cooke Maroney, 33, seems like a decent guy – he’s an NYU grad and managing a successful art gallery. He’s different from Jennifer’s other romances because he’s not famous…yet.

HEIDI KLUM AND TOM KAULITZ: IT WAS INEVITABLE

For the past year we’ve been seeing paparazzi photos of Project Runway host Heidi Klum and Tokio Hotel guitarist Tom Kaulitz hotly romancing in public and not-so-public places. He obviously could not keep his hands off her – and her four kids and 16 years of seniority did not dampen his affection. So we were not terribly surprised to learn that besotted Tom proposed and Heidi said YES on Christmas Eve!

PARIS HILTON WANTS US TO BELIEVE HER FIANCEE CAN AFFORD A 2 MILLION DOLLAR RING


Apparently the idea of three pregnant Kardashians pretending NOT to want publicity was more than Paris Hilton could tolerate. Ever since the Kardashians rose to reality stardom and bumped Paris off the gossip pages, she’s been privately irritated. Being the “it girl” was fun, not only did she have paparazzi following her everywhere, but her fame brought her tons of money in perfume deals, etc. Paris decided the time was right for a comeback, so she arranged to have her “surprise?” engagement to actor Chris Zylka artfully photographed with an appealing Aspen background and distributed. As if that weren’t tasteless enough, she had the PRICE of her ring advertised everywhere by the publicity hungry jeweler – c’mon, does anybody really believe it’s worth two million dollars? And where would the not-so-famous actor Zylka get anywhere NEAR that kind of money?

QUENTIN TARANTINO FOUND THE FEET OF HIS DREAMS

Never-married director Quentin Tarantino, 54, just got ENGAGED a few days ago to Israeli singer Daniela Pick, 33. They’ve known each other for eight years, but Tarantino admitted he was too obsessed with making movies to even THINK about having a personal life. Coincidentally or not, he’s been talking about retiring from the film business (we presume after the Manson film.) Given Tarantino’s well-documented foot fetish, it’s interesting to note Daniela’s sexy feet and transparent heels….

DOES BEN FOSTER KNOW WHAT HE’S GETTING INTO?

Months after splitting with his longtime girlfriend/fiancée Robin Wright, Ben Foster, 35, has put a ring on Orange is the New Black star Laura Prepon, 36, who happens to be a longtime enthusiastic Scientologist. And her thetan finger would never have welcomed a ring from anyone NOT into Scientology! Let’s face it- Ben has been a friend of high – ranking Scientologist Danny Masterson for YEARS, and Laura has also. And Ben has never confirmed or denied his attachment to Scientology. Now he doesn’t have to. He’s already gone over to the dark side. Too bad – he was so good in Hell or High Water. Laura will be getting MAJOR POINTS from Scientology for pulling in actor Ben.

ROB KARDASHIAN AND HIS SUSPICIOUS ENGAGEMENT

Funny that Rob Kardashian chose the day his family flew out of town to propose to his girlfriend Blac Chyna. Who would have guessed that Rob’s sock business would pay off enough for him to buy a $325,000 engagement ring? It makes sense that the happy couple would celebrate the event at the Ace of Diamonds strip club where Chyna occasionally works. Coincidentally or not, the club is getting their own reality series and we wonder if this party was filmed. Blac Chyna’s side of the family is delighted with the situation. We can’t wait to hear what the Kardashians will say. The biggest question of all is: Does Rob have a baseball cap suitable for a wedding?
