Before he got married, he says he cheated on his wife, Emma and he’s really sorry. The Take That singer has said that he had ten affairs before he slipped on that wedding ring. The couple have two children and the star says that the turning point was his wedding day in November 2009 – he’s never cheated since.So why now, one might ask? Apparently he had been living with the guilt and he wanted to come out with it so that’s why he’s spilled the stories of his many affairs and many women. In the same breath, he has asked the media to be sensitive where his wife and children are concerned. Looks like the public outpouring was supposed to be an apology for actions that no one knew about till now.

He wasn’t ready to confess to the public that he really was engaged to the make-up artist on his show, not even when she was seen sporting a huge rock of a ring on her left hand. However, at on the Jay Leno show two days ago, Simon Cowell finally came out and told the world that he was engaged to Mezhgan Hussainy. Even though speculation is rife that he actually proposed on Valentine’s Day, he refused to get drawn into making any confessions of how, where and when.
Of course, a bit of his acerbic wit came to his aid and he said that it would be a shame if what he was wasn’t carried on – so he’s obviously looking forward to little Simons coming along. Famous for his caustic wit and quick comebacks, maybe this was one time that Simon did look a bit embarrassed but it’s obvious he’s very much in love.

Last year, there was a sharp drop in diamond shares because people weren’t buying as many diamond rings or diamond jewellery as before. The common man tightened his belt with the onset of the recession and the first thing to be hit was the luxury items, seeing a drop in diamond stock rates. Now suddenly, all that looks set for change and people are going out and buying diamond rings and jewellery again with the market recovery. So diamond stocks are expected to reflect that and start going up soon too.
Right now might be a good time to invest in diamond stocks as a lot of diamond mining companies are being traded at much less than their actual value – something that won’t happen for too long. With demand of diamonds slated to go up in the months to come, the stocks will too. According to the experts, investing in companies that are already producing diamonds rather than ones in the exploration stage might be a good idea.

It is probably the diamond that has got the highest price and there are those who feel it was sold at a bargain. The diamond was sold in the UK on Friday and Petra CEO says that it is an ‘incredible rarity’. Mined in the famous Cullinan mines in Africa where so many other large diamonds have been found, this one was sold to Chow Tai Food Jewellery Co.
The diamond was mined in September last year but the find was kept under wraps and then it was moved, closely guarded till it was sold. One wonders who will cut the stone and what shape it will be cut in. After all, it is one of the most interesting diamond finds in recent times.

They had a high profile engagement last year. The American Idol singer shot to fame when she won a Golden Globe award, an NAACP award, a BAFTA award and of course, the ultimate Oscar award for her acting role in Dreamgirls. Her fiancé, David Otunga, who is a law graduate from Harvard, is also a wrestler and they were in the news because she was one of the first women celebrities to give him an engagement ring as well.
The wedding is going to be soon – the couple have a child and apparently they’ve already decided on the date and she’s chosen a beautiful wedding gown. The rings, of course, will doubtless be one of a kind designer jewellery.

More and more men seem to think that it’s only fair that they get an engagement ring too. And if it’s a diamond ring, all the better. For one thing, men are wearing a lot more jewellery today and for another, why should only the man do the spending, seems to be the sentiment.
For too long perhaps, men have done all the spending, even the very expensive engagement ring. However, with women earning as well, it’s time, men feel, that they, too, start paying and what better way to begin that with an expensive ring. According to famous jeweller H. Samuel, there’s a steadily increasing demand for men’s engagement rings today – also called ‘mengagement rings’. So we’re guessing that more and more women will start proposing to men now.

There are a whole lot of romantic ideas when it comes to proposals and how a man gives the woman of his dreams the engagement ring. Hidden in champagne, in desserts, proposals in the air, under the sea – there’s so much romance and imagination that surrounds a proposal. There’s one however that goes back to WWII. A soldier wanted so much to ask his girl to marry him and he knew it would be some time before he could get back home. So he asked his sister to do the needful. He sent her the money and asked her to buy the engagement ring and give it to the girl he had known and loved from high school in Illinois, USA.
Today, they’ve been happily married for 64 years and both are over 90 years old. Sophia, the lady still has all those romantic letters that Renner, her husband wrote to her when they were young and apart. She keeps them safe in a cedar chest.

American ski champion Billy Demong got lucky because on the same day that he won the Nordic combined Olympic medal for skiing, he also got engaged. He and three others won the gold medal and it was a first for the US. This event is a combination of cross country skiing and ski jumping. So they all wore big smiles when they won. Billy’s was even wider because he decided to get engaged too on the same day.
He got third time lucky. With these two happy events visiting him on the same day, he got a third wonderful surprise – he got picked to be Team USA’s flag bearer. It’s one great fortunate spell for him, never mind that he’s out there competing in that cold weather with sleet and rain.
