From Engagement Ring To Wedding Ring With Lily Allen

Wednesday, January 19th, 2011

Just two weeks ago, the singer announced that she was engaged. And now, we see a picture of her with two rings on her hand – there’s a wedding ring as well. So has she announced that she is married? Not yet. Her rings however, tell another story and she is being very coy about the whole thing.

So now the 25 year old British singer is engaged and possibly or most likely married to 32 year old business owner Sam Cooper. All her friends say they are made for each other and there couldn’t be a better and more perfect match. So maybe Lily isn’t ready to tell the world about her wedding but she sure took pains to get her hands beautifully manicured before flaunting them with the engagement ring which is a sparkler and what is most likely a wedding ring.

The couple have had it hard last year when Lily suffered a miscarriage. She had been expecting for six months when it happened and both were devastated, especially Lily who wants to be a mother more than anything. Well, now, they’re married hopefully and they will be lucky enough to have a family soon. The Grammy Award nominee who is such a talented musician and singer deserves it.

Kim And Her 13-Carat Diamond Ring

Tuesday, January 18th, 2011

This Indian model turned Bollywood actress was known more for her proximity to an Indian cricketer than for her acting skills. And then she disappeared for a while. Well, she’s surfaced again and guess what? There’s a huge rock on her finger – all of 13 carats! Now that’s a lot of weight in diamonds for anyone to carry around.

Apparently she went on a holiday to Africa and met this man who runs a very profitable hotel industry there. They met in Kenya and Ali, her husband has a huge hotel in Mombasa and another at Masai Marai. Rumour has it that she is back in India doing a bit of digging around in the hotel industry. So are they planning to open one in India or is she just there to get a few tips? Maybe it is to promote their hotels in Africa. Of course, there will be those who say she’s actually here thinking of buying an IPL team but with her association with cricket, those rumours are bound to surface. You never know – buying into the IPL seems to be the latest fad for so many Bollywood beauties.

She’s happy, she says and flashes her humungous diamond solitaire to its fullest glory. The diamond engagement ring on her finger is complemented by huge solitaire earrings too. She got married to her hotelier husband in August and she says she couldn’t be happier. She turns 30 in a few days and she’s down to celebrate her birthday with her family. Her husband is expected and one wonders just how huge the diamond gifts will be? From an actress who was mainly known for her hot, sultry numbers, she sure has come a long way.

Will The American Idol Host Be Wearing A Wedding Ring Soon?

Monday, January 17th, 2011

Rumours say that it is imminent and Ryan Seacrest is all set to propose to his girlfriend with a huge dazzler of a diamond ring. The rumours about him getting married soon have been doing the rounds for sometime now but for now, everyone is waiting to see when his girlfriend, Julianne Hough will be wearing a rock on her finger. After all, everything Ryan Seacrest does is news considering he is part of some of the most popular shows on TV.

Apparently Ryan Seacrest has already shopped for the ring and carries it around in his back pocket waiting for the right moment to pop the question. Now that seems a bit far fetched and we think Ryan will set up the proposal to be something different, unique and very exciting. All sources tell us is that the diamond in the ring is all of three or four carats. And after that, of course, there will be speculation about where the wedding will take place, who will be there, what the bride will wear, what the groom will wear, too and most important, the wedding date.

Julianne Hough used to be with Dancing with the Stars and while they have been together since the summer of last year, it was only in November that everyone knew. It looks like they are both terribly in love with each other and they have made no attempts to hide their feelings even during talk shows. Apparently, his family is very fond of her too and sources say he fits in very well with her family too.

GI Joe Star Wears String For Wedding Ring

Sunday, January 16th, 2011

It’s not his fault really. There he was shooting for a scene in his movie and his wedding ring got lost. So he’s been tying a piece of string around his wedding ring finger – no doubt till he can go get himself another ring. Is his shooting schedule really all that tight? Must be if he can’t get away for an hour.

Here’s what happened to that wedding ring. He had a scene that he was a part of and when he went in, he handed his wedding ring to the prop mistress to hold till he came back after his take. However, she seems to have misplaced it and it can’t be found. In the morning, Channing Tatum had done the takes with the ring on – he had forgotten to remove it and out it into his pocket like they should do. So when he went in for his next take and he did remember this time, he asked the prop person to hang onto it for him. She put it on her finger for safe keeping but it was cold, the ring was loose so it must have slipped off sometime.

His wife Jenna does not want him walking around without a wedding ring so this piece of string tied around his finger seems to be the best he could think of at least till such time that he can replace the wedding ring. At least this way, Jenna probably feels that it will remind him that he is a married man.

Sarah Harding Comes Back With A Royal Lookalike Engagement Ring

Saturday, January 15th, 2011

There was a sapphire and diamond ring on Sarah Harding’s finger as she and Tom Crane returned from their holiday in the Maldives. The engagement ring was very similar to the royal engagement ring and the Girls Aloud singer flaunted it for everyone who wanted to take a look at it.

She got engaged on New Year’s Eve when her DJ boyfriend proposed to her in the Maldives and she looked dazzling and excited as she stepped off the plane. The dazzling ring which is valued at £250,000 was the cynosure of the media’s eyes at Heathrow. Now it’s obviously time to set a date and let the wedding preparations begin. So we wonder when that will be.

Meanwhile, the couple is planning to throw a party at the Mahiki Club in London and sources say that it will be a themed party. Looks like it’s going to be a Tropicana theme from the buzz that is going around. The famous singer and the influential DJ seem to be wanting the world to celebrate their engagement with them.

Will They Find Their Wedding Rings?

Friday, January 14th, 2011

The floods in Queensland have had so many stories of loss but this one is really sad. The Kochos – Judy and Greg of Condamine have been married for thirty-seven years and they were evacuated when floods hit their town a week ago. They were flown back a few days ago and their one aim is to find their wedding rings which they are wishing were not washed away in the floods.

They had left their wedding rings locked up in a cupboard which is why there is some hope that they can locate it and get those rings back. For them, the gold of those rings are a symbol of their eternal love and they so want to find them. Their home is a farm that goes back to the 18th century and today all that seems left of it is one big swamp. It is located on the outskirts of Condamine.

Even though there is water all around, the floods seem to be receding. However, any more rain and the water levels could go up. The residents of the town however, are glad to be back home – and home it is to them, even though the whole town is water logged. There’s no electricity and no running water but home is, after all, home. It’s going to be tough and residents have been warned not to venture out too much. Most people have lost everything.
