So what celebrities got engaged during the month of November 2009? And does anyone really care? Of course we do! Hey, weddings are a big deal around here.
1) Robert Pattinson & Kristen Stewart
While most twilight fanatics are screaming foul play and refuse to believe it’s true, Robert Pattinson confirmed the rumor as true to Matt Lauer on the Today Show. However, some say that even though he admitted it, that it was done jokingly and that it probably won’t happen because he’s been pretty much dating non-stop and it just doesn’t seem realistic. Well, believe it Team Edward fans. There’s even been a lot of “I’ll believe it when I see it” stances as well. You gals are hardcore about this man. He’s on the market until he says I Do! – Source
2) Hulk Hogan & Jennifer McDaniel
Assuming that he actually does know best, the Hulkster has decided to get engaged to a woman who disturbingly looks like a hybrid of his ex and his daughter. Hulk Hogan pointed out the engagement ring to TMZ photographers at the LAX airport and said that she could be the next Mrs. Hogan. Her name is Jennifer McDaniel and she even showcased a “lovely” tattoo of his first name (Terry) that she had tattooed on her right wrist. The couple has been dating since 2008 which is only 4 months after Hulk’s divorce from Linda Bollea. Some guys never learn. – Source
3) Chelsea Clinton & Mark Mezvinsky
Being the daughter of a former president qualifies for you for celebrity status. When photographers follow you to the bathroom stall, you’re a celebrity. Chelsea made the announcement via email during Thanksgiving to friends and family. The couple met in Washington DC and have been dating since 2005. They simmered the relationship at Stanford University and he’s now an investment banker while Chelsea finishes up her studies at Columbia. – Source
4) Penelope Cruz & Javier Bardem
While Penelope Cruz refuses to confirm the rumor, we’re going to push it as fact simply because she refuses to deny it. When asked directly by David Letterman during her late night appearance if she was engaged, she simply said that she refused to discuss her private life. But when she appeared at a premiere with a sapphire and diamond engagement ring on her ring finger, it was her way of letting people into her private life. Women get ridiculously excited when they get engaged, so this was her way of publicly gushing. If she simply said, “I’m not engaged”, then that would have been that, but the very denial is a confession! So stop being silly Penelope. We’re actually still happy you didn’t stay with Tom Cruise. – Source
5) Jensen Ackles & Danneel Harris

Even though the public says that it doesn’t appear that there’s a lot of passion between them, source from both parties have confirmed the rumor. The couple have been dating for about 3 years now, but have been friends for almost a decade. He confirmed it to JustJared.com and she confirmed it on her Twitter account. – Source

Know of any November wedding engagements we missed? That’s what the comment box below is for. But which one of these top 5 engagements is the biggest deal to you?
It seems that the Tiger Woods debacle is just getting worse and one has to imagine that all of the deity status that most had with Tiger are about to get majorly tarnished and that Tiger is human after all.
The trouble started last week when Tiger Woods wrecked his truck into a fire hydrant and then a tree where he then needed medical attention. Tiger was taken to a hospital and treated for his injuries which also included “scratches on his face”. What would seem like a self inflicted minor accident then started presenting red flags as Woods refused to speak to authorities to address their questioning for days after the accident. Many were trying to assess the cause of the accident and then a rumor arose that it had something to do with an altercation between him and his wife Elin Nordegren over an affair with a New York Club Manager named Rachel Uchitel which possibly explained the scratches.

Rachel Uchitel denied the allegations that she was having an affair with Woods, but sources say that Uchitel frequently bragged about having an affair with not only Woods, but also Yankees players Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez, as well as actor David Boreanaz. Being “overwhelmed” with all of the attention, Uchitel hired “lawyer to the stars” Gloria Allred to keep the wolves at bay which is really not working too well and only adds to the speculation that things are about to get really bad before they get better.
Meanwhile, Florida authorities had no choice but to subpoena certain traffic and hospital reports and aspects of the events to put the traffic part of the case to rest. They ended up charging Tiger with a non-criminal charge which will cost Tiger $164 in fines (pocket change), but will also cost him 4 points on his drivers license. As far as the authorities were concerned, the case was closed.
Then another “mistress” appeared out of the woodworks named Jaimee Grubbs, a cocktail waitress that he met in Las Vegas in 2007. Not only was she not denying a relationship (excuse the double negative), but she also came to the party with text messages and even worse, voice mail recordings of Tiger pleading with her to remove her name from the cell phone ID because his wife was becoming highly suspicious.

The voice recording is unmistakably Tiger’s voice pleading, “Hey, it’s Tiger. I need you to do me a huge favor. Can you please take your name off your phone? My wife went through my phone and may be calling you. So if you can, please take your name off that. Just have it as a number on the voicemail. You got to do this for me. Huge. Quickly. Bye.”
Grubbs reported to a British tabloid The Sun that they had 20 sexual encounters spanning a 2 and half year time period with the first one being literally days before the birth of Tiger’s son. She quoted Woods as telling her that “quietly and secretly we will always be together.”
As expected, with so much evidence verifying the allegations as truth, Tiger has had no choice but to try and come clean to some extent, but insisting that it’s a family matter with his statement on his site saying, “I am dealing with my behavior and personal failings behind closed doors with my family. Those feelings should be shared by us alone.” Which in some cases is true, but he is a public figure, paid by the public (via tournaments and attendance), but even more damaging adored by the public both young and old.

Tiger’s statements on his website do everything but admit to the affair which included statements such as: “I have let my family down and I regret those transgressions with all of my heart. I have not been true to my values and the behavior my family deserves. I am not without faults and I am far short of perfect.” and then finally, “Personal sins should not require press releases and problems within a family shouldn’t have to mean public confessions… I will strive to be a better person and the husband and father that my family deserves. For all of those who have supported me over the years, I offer my profound apology.”
In closing, one would simply have to say that while, yes, this should be a private matter, he made it into a public matter by refusing to speak with authorities which caused all kinds of rumors and allegations to spawn from what started as a simple traffic violation. One also has to be concerned that this may possibly be just the beginning of a slew of women that may come forth digging this hole deeper than it is now. If there were two, there most likely are many more.
It has been confirmed that this past Saturday 50 year old actor Tom Arnold finally got hitched to long time girlfriend Ashley Groussman on the quaint little island of Maui. That’s Hawaii for the geographically challenged.
The ceremony was held in front of 75 close friends and family and Tom’s best man was actor Dax Shepard. This is Tom’s 4th marriage and one of which was to that crazy Rosanne Barr who has since furrowed somewhere to all of our collective relief. I mean really, thank God. Ashley really can’t blame him for waiting for so long to recover from that.
The couple met through a mutual friend and then at Tom’s birthday party, he proposed to her with a wedding ring that was designed by her sister. He said, “I knew that if I could get Ashley to fall in love with me, I’d never have to worry about anything else as long as I lived,” to which Ashley replied, “I’m the luckiest girl in the world.”
Besides the fact that Ashley Arnold has a much better ring to it.
According to the New York Post, ex-sitcom stars Fran Drescher from The Nanny and Jason Alexander from Seinfeld flew to Australia to attend a wedding for a couple they haven’t ever met.
Australian couple Geoffrey Edelsten and Brynne Gordon reason for inviting them? Because they had never met them and simply wanted to, so they invited them. Nothing was disclosed about how much they were paid to attend, but one would imagine that airfare, hotel, amenities and appearance fees were probably in the 6 digits easy. That was probably not an issue since the couple’s wedding cost $3 million for their wedding plans at the Crown Palladium ballroom in Melbourne.
Hey if you got it, flaunt it, I guess. But really? Would you pay tens of thousands of dollars to have Fran Drescher and Jason Alexander at your wedding?
When most people do their wedding planning, it normally doesn’t involve standing in line in the freezing cold at a retail store on Black Friday. But for Michigan couple Edward Burbo and his bride to be Jennifer, that’s exactly how they planned it.
Edward and Jennifer met two years ago online in November of 2007 and 2 days later, they were shopping for good deals together. The couple has a blended family of 4 children between the ages of 8 and 14 and Christmases have been tough at full price. So they, like most Americans, hit the streets early in the morning to get the best deals on Black Friday and this year it was at Best Buy where they camped out for a whopping two entire days to be first in line!
Then the idea struck them two weeks before that big day that they would be married in line at Best Buy. While they wanted to have a big wedding, they just couldn’t afford it. “We are saving money standing in line for Black Friday, and we’re not really spending much on the wedding,” Jennifer said. So she dressed in a winter white wedding dress and he in a tuxedo and the two exchanged vows on Black Friday 2009.
I’m envisioning the I Do’s followed by the trampling of innocent bystanders to get into the store, cursing, a few stiff elbows, and the crush of overcrowded mayhem. Let’s just hope the honeymoon was taken elsewhere.

True Blood star, Anna Pacquin, 27, is engaged to her True Blood co-star Stephen Moyer, 39, but they are not in any rush whatsoever to hit the aisle. Anna recently told press that, “We’re not planning the wedding yet. I’m not really that girl, we’re not really that couple. We’re happy and things are good and we’re not on any particular schedule and it’ll happen when we have time.”
Stephen apparently feels exactly the same as they enjoy their success and focusing on planning a wedding is just not on the radar right now. Good thing because Anna is also terrified of thinking about being in a poofy wedding dress and just isn’t that type of girl.
“It feels organic. It’s more about being family than becoming Bridezilla overnight and wearing some big meringue wedding dress. That would scare the s**t out of me. I wasn’t the girl who spent hours dreaming of my wedding.”
So while they enjoy spending good quality time together as an engaged couple, True Blood fans will simply have to wait if they want to see the love bleed over into the real world. No pun intended.
Let me start off by saying that I love Jennifer Aniston. She is truly one of the most beautiful women on the planet. But talk about a woman that has gotten the wrong end of the stick. If she’s crazy, she hides it very well and with the amount of time this woman is on camera, she would have to do a lot of hiding. I think what we’re seeing is that her choice in men is based on, heck, I don’t what it’s based on.
I’m sure that I am not alone when I say that I firmly believe without any doubt that Brad Pitt was her soul mate. Even though Brad and Angelina Jolie had a nice wedding and have been together for years now with enough kids to start a small country, Brad still looks empty and incomplete. Photos of him just look like he’s struggling to hold on to his sanity and now he’s trapped with a crazy woman. Every new child they create or purchase has got to make that cash register “ka-ching” sound in his head. A crazy woman holding the threat of alimony and child support payments multiplied by however many kids they have now. His departure from that relationship would be the end of his career and his wallet.
So as for Brad, Jennifer should probably come to the realization that there’s no going back to that playground again, no matter how traumatic it was for her. He was an idiot and he’s gone. Jennifer, there’s nothing wrong with you. You are beautiful and men around the world love you. Time to move on. But….
John Mayer, really? As someone who has actually met John a few times in Georgia at small venues in and about town at shows, it doesn’t fit. Great musician, but not husband material. Not yet anyway. He seems to have good intentions, but at the same time he croons about being lonely, he’s doing everything to stay single with no intention of being taken seriously. Granted you guys look good together and both of you appear to have your guards down when around each other, so that’s good. But something is missing.
Vince Vaughn? That could have worked because it’s the same age bracket and you both have the same sense of humor. But now he’s moved on to some Canadian real estate agent to settle down. The same thing you wanted from him, but at the time he couldn’t give you. Guess that was just bad timing. Which brings us to the current rumor mill.
Jennifer Aniston and Gerard Butler. I think this may actually work. The couple is keeping the rumors on the down low, but that may really work. About the same age bracket, tempers seem about the same, both good looking, and successful. Yeah, I think that may work. But here’s the deal. I’m going to call it and if it DOES work, I want to be invited to the wedding as “that blogger that called it”. Plus I want to give Jennifer a big celebratory hug.
That’s what the big problem is for me. Jennifer is a smart and beautiful woman who is just getting mixed up with the wrong guys. I think it’s mostly because of her choosing actors and industry guys. Maybe Vince has it right to make plans on getting married with a woman that has nothing to do with Hollywood. It helps you get grounded and have one foot in reality.
The Bradley Cooper thing could have worked also (if it were true). The only thing that’s apparently getting in the way is Jennifer’s force field. Her guard is up and she has no desire to get hurt again. The tabloids push her as the jilted lover over and over and with someone different every quarter. And it’s all unfortunately true for the most part. You can see it in her eyes. The look that says, “I kind of like this guy. He’s nice to me, but I know he’s going to do something stupid and I’m going to get screwed again in front of millions of people.” Can you blame her?
Again, I’ve always loved Jennifer and she has always been my dream woman and the total package. It kills me to see her getting involved with these guys that apparently have severe mental issues. Why would any man walk away from Jennifer Aniston? For those of you that say, “Maybe it’s her.”, you can all die a slow death. It’s not her. No I’ve never met her, but it’s not her. It just can’t be.
As one of many men who support you Jen, we always wish you the best and hope that you really find that right guy that appreciates you. He’s out there somewhere. Well, there’s me, but I’m already married with kids. I would definitely be perfect for you. My wife would be really ticked though. I just want to come to the wedding and give you support. So I’ll be looking for my invitation to watch you be happy. And also to give myself closure. ; )
Say it ain’t so. One thing us married guys have had is the ability to live vicariously through Vince Vaughn. He’s a man’s man. A hot dog munching, beer drinking, football watchin’ man’s man. We’ve watched as he dated women that have haunted our psyche and smiled knowing that he was part of our secret team. Apparently, no more.
Vince Vaughn is planning on getting married to a Canadian real estate agent named Kyla Weber. He proposed on Valentines Day, so he kept it under wraps pretty well. Vaughn joked that she’s using him for a green card. But when did all of this happen? Wasn’t he just dating Jennifer not even a year ago?
But it does beg to question about what happened between him and Jennifer Aniston. Some say that they only hooked up to push the movie they were in together and that it was all a set up. But this one is obviously real, although in every interview, it moves to the topic of his new movie Couples Retreat and never continues to talk about the relationship between him and Kyla. Another setup?
Needless to say that we can’t seem to find any info on when the wedding is planned, or any details at all for that matter. She’s very pretty and unfettered by Hollywood (for now) and they like shopping. Oh well, at least we still have George Clooney whose acting chops are actually pretty brilliant (O Brother Where Art Thou), good looking guy, dates beautiful women that wouldn’t grant guys like us a second glance. So, ok, we’ll live through Clooney now. Oh yeah, there’s also Matthew McConaughey, but his acting is painful to watch. Big box office draw though. Nah, we’d rather have George as our wingman.
While most twilight fanatics are screaming foul play and refuse to believe it’s true, Robert Pattinson confirmed the rumor as true to Matt Lauer on the Today Show. However, some say that even though he admitted it, that it was done jokingly and that it probably won’t happen because he’s been pretty much dating non-stop and it just doesn’t seem realistic.
