SHAHS OF SUNSET STAR LILLY GALACHI: IS IT ALL ABOUT MONEY OR FAME?

117795PCN_Lilly02cut

Shahs of Sunset star Lilly Ghalachi is upstaging all her costars with her new super-wealthy boyfriend. They’ve only been dating for three months, but Dhar Mann has already given Lilly a huge diamond engagement ring. Last night he took her to Mastro’s to celebrate her 31st birthday and he had a surprise gift when she walked outside: a $300,000 white Rolls Royce with a big pink bow on it. (How convenient for the paparazzi!) He SEEMS like a good catch, but Mann was convicted of embezzling redevelopment funds in the City of Oakland. And he still has legal problems. We’re guessing the two of them are more interested in fame than love…

IT’S THE END OF THE WORLD: GEORGE CLOONEY IS ENGAGED!

113733PCN_Dinner35cut

Pass the smelling salts. Confirmed bachelor George Clooney, 52, is getting married to his Lebanese lawyer girlfriend Amal Alamuddin! Or so they say – at People magazine. George hasn’t admitted anything yet. But it is certainly a turnaround for a guy who has vowed for years to every woman he’s dated that he will never marry again. (He had a short marriage in the early 90’s to Talia Balsam) Amal was different from George’s other girls from the getgo – she’s 36, British, highly educated, speaks 3 languages, has written books on international law, and happens to be that Wikileaks guy, Julian Assange’s, lawyer. Those online crazies who insist that George is gay still probably won‘t shut up – they’ll claim Amal is his beard. He’s not, and she’s not. Click HERE to see the happy couple.

47289PCN_Aguilera05

Christina Aguilera is on the set of “Burlesque” in 2010 making eyes at production assistant Matthew Rutler. A year later she was divorced from her husband of five years, Jordan Bratman, and glued to the Matthew’s side. We know what happened to her marriage, but what happened to her movie career? Matthew seems to be a real sweetheart who takes good care to the sometimes overindulgent singer. On Valentines Day, Matthew, 27, proposed, and Christina, 33, said yes. She loves his optimistic personality.

JOHNNY DEPP ISN’T SO SPECIAL, AFTER ALL

Rum_Diary-590x393cut

Many delusions were shattered last week when the news broke that Johnny Depp, 50, just got engaged to Amber Heard, 27. Johnny has long been on a unique pedestal – many women believed he was special and sensitive – not the typical Hollywood actor. This was reinforced by the fact the he lived happily in the French countryside with French actress/singer Vanessa Paradis, 41, and their two children for years. Their split was disappointing, but it soon became apparent that Johnny had new ideas. Or maybe not so new. He isn’t the man many fans thought he was- Johnny’s just another aging actor smitten with a sexy young blonde starlet, and he couldn’t care less about the 23 year age difference or cultural gap. (Above, Johnny and Amber in 2011’s “Rum Diary”)

ASHLEE SIMPSON AND EVAN ROSS: TWO OF A KIND

ashleecut

Two people who are famous because they’re related to successful celebrities are getting married. And it looks like a good match. Ashlee Simpson, 29, lives in the shadow of her absurdly successful sister Jessica Simpson, whose business ventures earn billions. Aspiring actor Evan Ross, 25, is the son of Diana Ross and took HER last name to help him in Hollywood. Ashlee had plastic surgery to look more like her sister. So Ashlee and Evan already have something in common. They just got engaged and announced it on Twitter with the photo above. Ashlee was previously married to Pete Wentz and they have a son, this is Evan’s first marriage. Joe Simpson is probably already thinking about the pre-nup.

COULD KANYE WEST’S PROPOSAL HAVE BEEN MORE OVER THE TOP?

For someone who hates paparazzi and says he wants nothing to do with the Kardashian reality show, Kanye West is acting awfully strange. If he really wanted to be left alone, why did he spend a small fortune to rent a baseball stadium and hire an orchestra and have cameras everywhere filming while he proposed to the mother of his child with a 15 carat diamond ring! He made a spectacular event out of what could have been an intimate moment- does this sound like a guy who wants his privacy?

IS CHER ENGAGED OR WAS IT JUST A SLIP OF THE TONGUE?

Cher appeared on The Today Show this morning and we could SWEAR that during her interview Matt Lauer let a secret slip out. We thought we heard him say that Cher had big news about her ENGAGEMENT. There was an awkward silence and the subject was abruptly changed and they talked about something else. Did Matt spill the beans or did we imagine it? Cher has been hanging out with writer Ron Zimmerman and says that she learned to keep her private life private. We wonder if anyone else saw this on the show…

THIS IS THE MAN DESTINED TO SAVE JANICE DICKINSON FROM FINANCIAL DISASTER

Janice, 58, became engaged to ten years older Dr Robert Gerner in January, and recently declared bankruptcy to prepare for the marriage. (presumably she doesn’t want her husband to assume all her debts.) The lucky guy is Dr Robert Gerner, an established pharmacologist who is described as very talented, but also fast and loose with his prescription pad. According to his mentally troubled patients, he charges $185 in cash for quick twenty minute sessions and sends them home with a fistful of prescriptions. Adderall and sleeping pills are a common combination. Interesting historical fact: Gerner was one of the docs investigated in the overdose death of Jerry Bruckheimer’s former partner, producer Don Simpson, who perished with 21 drugs in his system in 1996. Janice says it was love at first sight for her and Gerner. We wonder what being married to Janice will do for his career.

NOTE TO AL PACINO’S GIRLFRIEND: DON’T HOLD YOUR BREATH WAITING FOR A RING!

A few days ago an online rumor circulated that Al Pacino, 72, was engaged to marry his Argentinian actress girlfriend Lucila Sola, 33, and that they were shopping for rings. To no one’s surprise the story turned out to be false. Al is one of the few bigtime Hollywood actors who have NEVER been married and show no desire to do so. He’s had long relationships with a lot of women including Diane Keaton, Beverly D’Angelo, and Tuesday Weld, and has three children. Many of his girlfriends were extremely disappointed when Al refused to commit. Hopefully his current partner Lucila (above in Rome with Al) has no such expectations

SHOULD KELLY OSBOURNE MARRY A MAN PRETTIER THAN SHE IS?

#kellyosbourne #janetcharlton

Here we go again. Kelly Osbourne has a fatal attraction for ‘pretty boys” and it has not served her well in the past. Androgynous boyfriends have come and gone – in particular her last fiancée Luke Worrell, who left her for a transsexual. Her new fiancée, Matthew Mosshart, who calls himself a “celebrity chef,” seems to be quite nice, but he is undeniably another very pretty face. This may present a challenge for Kelly, but hopefully she’s had enough experience to deal with it.
