Where's The Khloe Kardashian Engagement Ring?
Kourtney & Khloe Take Miami star Khloe Kardashian posted a photo of herself on her website with fellow Keeping Up With The Kardashians star Kim Kardashian, her sister. What was so cool about this particular photo? It was on set during the sisters' guest appearance on 90210 and it included 90210 vixen AnnaLynne McCord. What wasn't cool? We couldn't see the coveted Khloe Kardashian engagement ring! Yes, we know the reality star is already married to Los Angeles Lakers forward Lamar Odom (after only a month-and-a-half of dating!) A whopping 3.2 million viewers watched her get married in a gorgeous Vera Wang dress on the E! entertainment network on September 27 at a Beverly Hills mansion in front of guests like Ryan Seacrest, Kelly Osbourne, Kobe Bryant, Chelsea Handler, Lara Spencer, Brittny Gastineau and Lala Vazquez. We know that her exquisite engagement ring (which is also her wedding ring, natch!) was handed to her last year in the same months she was married. But we're wondering why we can't see it in the photo! This leads to speculation that maybe things aren't going so well for the fast-married duo. ... Full article

Orlando Bloom And Miranda Kerr Wedding Rings
The Miranda Kerr wedding to Orlando Bloom took us all by surprise but now the Lord of The Rings actor and his Victoria's Secret supermodel wife are back from their Caribbean honeymoon and showing off their gold wedding rings! They were spotted in the Miami International Airport on their way to LAX. Kerr now has some major bling on her fingers. The gold ring works well with her other diamond—an oval diamond set on a white gold or platinum band, the Diamond Information Center reports to US Weekly magazine. The Center estimates it to be 3 to 4 carats and upwards of $65,000 while Modelinia.com believes it could be 5 carats and as much as $450,000. The British actor and his model wife got married only a month after they announced they were engaged. At the time, Kerr was spotted attending a church in Los Angeles with her mother with the engagement ring on her finger. Both Bloom and Kerr have been quiet about their relationship, which has lasted since 2007 when a friend introduced them. Previously, Bloom had been in a relationship with Blue Crush actress Kate Bosworth. ... Full article

The Chelsea Clinton Wedding Plans Part 4
So the world knows former first daughter Chelsea Clinton, only daughter of former president Bill Clinton and former Senator Hillary Clinton (currently Secretary of State), will get married to investment banker Mark Mezvinsky on July 31. The world also knows it may or may not be in Rhinebeck, NY and the bride may or may not wear Oscar de la Renta or Vera Wang. The world knows so many little details about the wedding, sometimes they probably wonder if it's going to happen at all. But yes, of course it will. Both Clinton parents have talked about it openly and without heartfelt happiness. Less than a week away, we continue to learn more and more about the big day. Here are more of those details that will certainly make the Mezvinsky/Clinton wedding a day to remember! First, Chelsea asked her father, Bill, to lose weight! Back in May at the Pete Peterson Foundation's Fiscal Summit in Washington D.C., the former president was quoted as saying his daughter wanted him to lose about 15 pounds. Next, with less than ten days to go, Radar Online reports that gifts have begun to arrive at Astor Courts in Rhinebeck where Clinton is supposed to wed. Nobody even knows for sure if this is the exact wedding location! No matter! Gifts that passed Rhinebeck police security were taken back to the Astor Courts property. ... Full article

Deaths Of Brittany Murphy And Simon Monjack
The investigation into the deaths of Just Married and Girl, Interrupted actress Brittany Murphy and her husband Simon Monjack just got a whole lot more intense. And it also has to do with a mold in their home. The power couple, who exchanged wedding rings back in 2007, died within five months of each other and ironically from the same causes (acute pneumonia and severe anemia exaggerated by use of prescription drugs.) The Department of Public Health took on the issue of a mold in the house, which also came up during the Clueless star's death but was not deemed a contributing factor then. The issue came up again with the death of her British screenwriter husband but Murphy's mom Sharon would not let the LA. County Coroner's Office investigate it. Finally, Murphy's mom has allowed the Department of Public Health into their home. Could the mold have something to do with the pneumonia that was the cause of death for both of them? At the time of Monjack's death Murphy's mother released this statement: “I am still in shock and mourning over the deaths of my daughter Brittany and son-in-law Simon. It is with great relief that Simon’s preliminary autopsy findings have been released, so the media speculations can stop… As I was sure of, just like my daughter Brittany there was no kind of drug overdose."...

Chelsea Clinton Wedding Plans Part 3
Although former president Bill Clinton and current Secretary of State wife Hillary Clinton are keeping mum on most of the wedding details, we do know that their only daughter, Columbia University graduate student Chelsea Clinton will exchange wedding rings with childhood friend Marc Mezvinsky on July 31. But what else do we know about the one-time Goldman Sachs investment banker who reconnected with Chelsea while they were both students at Stanford University? Not all that much. The world is curious about the fianc? of this first daughter as more and more information is coming out about him. Meet Marc Mezvinsky. Chelsea Clinton's fiance. Mezvinsky is the son of former Iowa congressman and convicted felon Edward Mezvinsky and former NBC reporter and congresswoman Marjorie Margolies Mezvinsky. His mother served one term from 1992 to 1994 and his father served two terms from 1973 to 1977. Edward served five years in prison after pleading guilty to manipulating dozens of investors out of $10 million. He was released in April 2008 and remains on federal probation and still owes up to $9.4 million to his victims. The couple is now divorced. Marc Mezvinsky is currently working at the hedge fund G3 Capital and was an investment banker at Goldman Sachs. ... Full article

Orlando Bloom And Miranda Kerr Are Married
Maybe the best celebrity weddings are done in secret. Pirates of the Caribbean star Orlando Bloom and Victoria's Secret supermodel Miranda Kerr would like to think so. Only a mere month after they announced their engagement, it's been confirmed that the duo have already exchanged wedding rings in an intimate ceremony and are already on their honeymoon. The world only learned of the news when Kerr released a statement explaining why she canceled her appearance at the Australian department store David Jones. "David Jones very graciously released me during this period so we could celebrate an intimate ceremony and honeymoon together," the statement says. People.com reports that the Lord of the Rings actor and his Australian model gal pal checked into the Viceroy Anguilla resort in the Caribbean for what was thought to be just a Victoria's Secret Angels photo shoot for Kerr but the couple was spotted on numerous occasions in front of the private villa and dining at the resort's restaurant. ...

Chelsea Clinton Wedding Plans Part 2
Though we all heard the news when Marc Mezvinsky gave former first daughter Chelsea Clinton an engagement ring and she announced they were engaged in November 2009, many details of the wedding-to-be for the only daughter of former president Bill Clinton and current Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton are actually cloaked in secrecy. One of the most secretive aspects of the wedding—where it will actually take place. Rumors abound that the "to-dos" will happen at the 50-acre Astor Courts Estate overlooking the Hudson River in Rhinebeck, N.Y, about two hours north of New York City. But others insist that Rhinebeck is just a decoy for the press. Astor Courts would be a perfect place for investment banker Mezvinsky and Columbia University graduate student Clinton to tie the knot. It' s a beautiful, century-old 13,000-square-foot Beaux Arts pavilion in Rhinebeck built between 1902 and 1904 for John Jacob Astor IV and designed by Stanford White to emulate the Grand Trianon at Versailles. But the Clintons have refused to confirm reports that this is the spot. Other publications report that even guests don't know the location and that invitations came with instructions to be within driving distance of Manhattan with a promise that specific details would be sent a week before the day of the ceremony. The New York Times did some further investigation. ... Full article

Christina Applegate Is Pregnant
Former Married With Children actress Christina Applegate is pregnant , with her first child. The father is her fianc? Martyn Lenoble, who gave Applegate an engagement ring on Valentine's Day. The Samantha Who? starlet has dated the Dutch bass player and founding member of 90s alternative rock band Porno for Pyros for two years . She has noted that he helped her when she learned she had breast cancer and was there for her while she recovered from a double mastectomy in July 2008 and reconstructive surgery. "I'm very grateful to Martyn for coming along at a time that he did because he's been my rock through all this," Applegate told People magazine in 2009. The Emmy winner, who also flaunted her features on People Magazine's Most Beautiful People in 2009, was once married to longtime boyfriend, That Thing You Do! actor Johnathan Schaech but the couple divorced after four years of marriage in November 2005 due to irreconcilable differences. At the time, there were rumors that Applegate had cheated. No word yet on when Applegate and Lenoble will tie the knot, but it will be the second marriage for both. ... Full article

Megan Fox Photographed Wearing Wedding Ring
Megan Fox is showing off her wedding ring! The newlywed, who just married Brian Austin Green on June 24 in Hawaii, made her Neil Lane sparkler the center of attention when she made an appearance as a surprise presenter at VH1's Do Something Awards held at the Hollywood Palladium on July 19. The 24-year old Transformers actress introduced one of the five finalists of the evening in a Azzedine Alaia dress, Brian Atwood shoes, Christian Louboutin shoes, and the real star of the show—her giant ring. It was reported that Fox lost her first engagement ring in the sand when Brian proposed on the beach at the Four Seasons Hualalai hotel on the big island of Hawaii. While security and maintenance searched thoroughly, the ring never turned up. No matter. The duo obviously found a nice replacement. Fox and her partner, famous for his role on Beverly Hills 90210, began dating in 2004 and were engaged in 2006 before calling off the engagement, then rekindling it in 2009. The couple got married at the same hotel where Green proposed. They were wed by a local kahuna, a Hawaiian priest. Neither have previously been married, but Green has a son Kassius, with former girlfriend Vanessa Marcil of Las Vegas and General Hospital fame. He stood next to the couple on the big day as they exchanged vows. ... Full article

The Chelsea Clinton Wedding Plans
On July 31, first daughter Chelsea Clinton will exchange wedding rings with investment banker beau Marc Mezvinsky. The question is: Where? How? And what do her parents former president Bill Clinton and current Secretary of State Hillary Clinton think about all this? In November 2009, Clinton and Mezvinsky, son of former Iowa congressman Edward Mezvinsky and former Pennsylvania congresswoman Marjorie Margolies-Mezvinsky, announced their engagement to the world. The two are saying, "I do." That part is certain. But nothing else really is. The Columbia University graduate student, who once called Mezvinsky a childhood friend , and her family are trying to keep the media from running amuck with information (true and false.) They are keeping tight-lipped about the wedding details. Even current president Barack Obama is opting out of the affair in order to keep the affair as private as possible. That won't really happen as tabloids and even more reputable publications like The New York Times are coming out with new information, reports , and rumors. Here's what we do know: It's been reported that the first daughter will be donning an Oscar de la Renta or Vera Wang bridal gown. The guest list will include tons of power players. While Barack and Michelle Obama will most likely not make an appearance, invitations have been sent out to 400-something people including Oprah Winfrey, Barbara Streisand, and Steven Spielberg. ...

Customer Testimonials
I got the rings last Wednesday, just as promised. Have been out of town until today, so I have not been able to let you know how great I think they look. It has been a pleasure doing business with you ( and some would say I'm not that easy to please). I had searched other jewelry stores to find a band that would go with the gorgeous solitaire, but nothing looked right... Full review
