11-Carat Diamond Engagement Ring Riddle Solved

Thursday, January 19th, 2012

The ring went missing a little before Christmas Day last year and the couple from Florida who it belonged to wanted to solve the mystery of the missing ring. The ring had been on the dresser, in a cup and it had disappeared. So the couple hired a private detective who had been a policeman to help them get the ring back. They also announced a huge reward.
The policeman began by giving all the people who could have been in the house a polygraph test. Simultaneously, he also scoured all the pawn shops in the neighbourhood and then went further afield, even to New York. After all, anyone would remember an emerald cut 11-carat diamond engagement ring that had been put up for sale. The cleaning lady in the house failed the test and he realised that she was a suspect. However, she avoided him and the police had to be called in to take her for questioning.
She had taken the diamond ring and sold it to buy food and Christmas presents for her children and as well as pay off some bills. She had taken it to a jeweller and told him that she had inherited from an aunt who died. She has been arrested and charged. The jeweller got the reward money and the couple are happy that they hired a private detective to help them find the ring which is not just valuable but also of great sentimental value to them.

Cher Lloyd’s Diamond Ring On Tattooed Finger

Wednesday, January 18th, 2012

The X Factor star has apparently been wearing a diamond ring on her finger for over a month now. It looks like the 18-year old singer and her boyfriend Craig Monk are engaged. He is 21 and he is a hairdresser and they had both gone together in November to Los Angeles in America. That was when people noticed the small diamond ring on her left hand ring finger.
They have been together for about nine months now and she has a small heart tattooed on that finger. Now she wears the diamond engagement ring over the tattoo. Even though she denied the news in the beginning, she is now very open about the fact that they are engaged and she tells everyone that it is Craig who helps her to stay sane. Sources say that she is madly in love with him and he is very supportive of her.
Cher Lloyd is from Worcestershire and her net worth is a lot considering just how her fame has spread thanks to the X Factor. Simon Cowell signed her up with his company after the finals and when Swagger Jagger, her first album was released it climbed to the top in the UK charts. She’s had a great deal of success and she’s still so young. Too young to get engaged? Well, some think so but for her, Craig is everything that is sweet, supportive and secure right now and that is what she wants on her life right now.

Fan Buys Engagement Ring For Kate Bush

Tuesday, January 17th, 2012

That’s some obsession – that a fan can buy an engagement ring and travel all the way from America to the UK to present it to the object of his affections. Especially when she doesn’t even know of his existence. So why would he spend a lot of money and travel across the Atlantic just to hear her say No? Well that’s what a lot of fan feeling is all about – obsession that goes beyond the realm of reason.
He bought the ring from Tiffany’s and he paid over £3200 for it. It was a gold sapphire and diamond engagement ring and he was determined to go propose to the singer who is known to be a recluse. He also seems to be very enterprising and he got the exact location of her house through Google maps and then proceeded to get there. When he got there, he realised that she was not at home but broke in anyway and decided to wait for her.
Maybe as he waited, it suddenly dawned on him that what he was doing was insane so he ran away in panic and it was while he was running that someone reported him and the police arrested him. He even had his suitcase with him which he was dragging along as he ran. His explanation was that he somehow felt very connected to the singer and he wanted to love and protect her. He has been deported now, back to America and hopefully Kate Bush can heave a sigh of relief.

Wedding Ring Saved From Recycling

Monday, January 16th, 2012

What would Martin have done without Twitter? He lost his wedding ring when it fell into the recycling bin when he was emptying stuff into it for recycling. Together with the cardboard that he was stuffing in, his wedding ring slipped off and fell in too. He tried to peer into the container which was all of six feet in height but he couldn’t see a thing inside. So he went home and called the emergency numbers.
However, as it was a Sunday, no one answered and Martin was at the end of his tether wondering how he could get his wedding ring back. So he made a last ditch effort – he went onto Twitter and tweeted to the recycling services account. He sent them a message asking them to help and he also took a picture of the container and sent it along too. They got back to him in half an hour and put him in touch with the manager of that area who swung into action and stopped them from sending that particular container for recycling.
Then he and a helper went through everything in that container till they finally found the ring which was inside a cardboard box. What a relief it must have been for him. This, even though his wife had told him not to worry and that finally all it was really was a bit of metal. But he’s happy to get it back on his finger and as a token of appreciation, he took a box of chocolates round to the people who had helped him get the ring back.

Jennifer Lopez Flashes Wedding Ring-Free Finger After Divorce

Sunday, January 15th, 2012

Theirs was a high profile romance and a high profile divorce – with a lot of high profile news coverage in between. Of course, anything J Lo did or does makes it to the news and her love affair and marriage with Marc Anthony was no different. Then, just when everyone thought that they had such a perfect married life, the ugly rumours surfaced of him with another celebrity. It was obvious that there was no way that Jennifer Lopez was going to put up with that.
Before they split up, they both were going to do a talent scout show and it looks like that plan is still on – they are both professionals. However, at the press conference of the show, she just could not resist showing him her finger without her wedding ring. They both talked to reporters but everything was restricted strictly to the show, nothing about their personal lives. Apparently, J Lo flaunted her status by putting her hand up to his face.
However, there did not seem to be any animosity and it looks like both are moving on and dealing with their lives and with the split. They seemed civil enough with each other and if they are going to be working together for a while, it would of course be better to have a congenial atmosphere and not be at each other’s throats.

New Look Ashton Kutcher Still Wears His Wedding Ring

Saturday, January 14th, 2012

All that hair is gone and Ashton Kutcher is clean-shaven now but one thing he has not got rid of is his wedding ring. It seemed like the marriage was long since over between him and Demi Moore and if that is so, why is he still wearing the ring? They were married for six years and it looked like a match made in heaven even though she was much older than him. The world thought they were the perfect couple and the sad thing is, Demi Moore also probably thought that it was the perfect marriage.
However, on their wedding anniversary when she was away, he played the field and the woman in question talked and that was the end as far as Demi Moore was concerned. For her, there was no point in wearing a wedding ring that did not mean anything and according to sources, the divorce has already been applied for. So if she has accepted moving on and he is the one to have strayed, why is he still clinging to the past?
After the grizzly beard and the long hair, he looks like his old self, all cleaned up with his baby face. With the new Two and a Half Men serials taking up a lot of his time where he has now taken Charlie Sheen’s place, he is obviously very busy and it looks like that is why the hair cleanup operation. For months, it made news – about how he played around when his wife was away. Now it looks like he wants her back and that is rather ironical.

Russell Brand Takes Off Wedding Ring

Friday, January 13th, 2012

With everything going viral today, even the simple act of taking off your wedding ring and separating from your wife needs to be videoed if you are a celebrity. Maybe even if you are not. Russell Brand and Katy Perry have been making the news for a while now and they have separated but when something about their marriage surfaces, it still makes big news. Like this video of Russell Brand which was shot in November of last year.
Apparently he took his wedding ring off as a joke and it was done while a comedy shot was being filmed. However, in retrospect, one wonders if he did it as a symbolic gesture as a month and a half after that, he filed for divorce. The video was being shot as a promotion for his American college tour in the middle of November and he made a really big show of taking the ring off. So was it stage-managed or what? Was he in fact trying to send out a message to everyone that this is what would be happening soon? He did say on the video that he was going to keep the ring away in a safe place.
Theirs has been a rocky marriage and being on two sides of the Atlantic very often and having hectic tours might not be conducive to a marriage especially in the early days. Katy Perry took it badly and with her family getting in the way and giving interviews to the press, things have turned murky. The news was that Russell wanted a divorce because he wanted children and she wasn’t ready for them yet.

Jessica Biel Wears Justin Timberlake’s Engagement Ring

Thursday, January 12th, 2012

So they are engaged but no one has seen the engagement ring yet. And while the news is doing the rounds on the Internet, it has not been officially confirmed so everyone is still waiting for the stars’ spokespeople to officially announce the news. The couple were on vacation in Montana over the Christmas break and it looks like this was the perfect place for a proposal. Why perfect? Because Jessica is a big fan of snowboarding. And Justin’s adored grandmother seems to have confirmed the news over the phone.
The engagement ring is supposed to be custom designed. Well, we’ll never know till we actually see Jessica wearing the ring but sources say that this is what it is. We are guessing enough people know both the actors to make this assumption – or did a bit of news leak out? Justin seems to be doing well on the designing front, what with the William Rast clothes line. So maybe one can assume that he put his creative talents to good use with the engagement ring too. They are both classy people so it does not look like the ring will be flashing – more on the lines of elegant and expensive.
The two stars have both led glamorous lives. Justin has made a name for himself as a singer and now as an actor as well. Jessica has acted and won acclaim in a number of hit movies. They both seem like they were meant for each other and as they are both so popular, it looks like there will be many wishing them all the best.

Amelia Lily Gets Engagement Ring From Secret Admirer

Wednesday, January 11th, 2012

Amelia, star of X Factor had an engagement ring sent to her and it was from one of her fans who admired her very much. There are many people no doubt who get proposed to by fans especially when they are huge celebrities but how many get an engagement ring sent to them? She’s very sweet though and it didn’t make her angry and she sent out a message letting the fan down as lightly as possible saying that she had a great deal of work in the coming year and that means there was no way she could even think about getting married in the near future.
The engagement ring was obviously made with her in mind. Amelia is known for her shock of pink hair and the engagement ring was a pink crystal set in silver. It was sent to where she lives in London. Of course, she just does not know what to do with it now that she has received it and she is wondering whether to email the person or send it back. Amelia does not obviously want to hurt anyone’s feelings but would she really want to keep the ring?
Amelia has been linked to many of the guys on the show and who she has worked with but she has clarified things saying that even if she wanted to, she just does not have the time for a relationship. She hangs out with boys all the time because she is quite comfortable with them as she grew up with two brothers who are older than her. The X Factor tour will kick off soon and she is going to be one very busy girl but this time, she did take a break for the holidays and enjoyed Christmas and New Year.

Couldn’t Get Wedding Ring Off To Fling At Wife

Tuesday, January 10th, 2012

Imagine having such a bad row with your wife and getting so angry that you want to pull your wedding ring right off your finger and hurl it at her? It’s happened to so many men and women in so many marriages so it really should not be such a newsworthy event. Except in this case, the ring wouldn’t come off and the man called an ambulance service to help him. He wanted them to take the ring off so he could throw it at his wife.
Well, help to take a wedding ring off in the middle of a row is not the only thing that drags paramedics around the city they work in. Portsmouth paramedics say that they got well over a thousand calls last year that were hoax calls. People seem to pick up the phone and dial 999 like it were a free help desk and they expect help to be at their doorstep at once. There was an old lady who called and when the paramedics got there, she wanted them to fetch her a packet of cigarettes. Then, there are people who call for help to change a fuse or a bulb or even for a lift home.
A couple of weeks ago, one ambulance service released details of some of the crazy calls it had received through the year. One of them was from a man who wanted his toilet unblocked. There were calls to ask what to take for a toothache or for an irritated eye as well as help because a cotton bud had got stuck in a woman’s ear. One wonders just what people think 999 is all about. Or whether they need to be educated on the meaning of the word ‘emergency’.

So Drew Barrymore Is Going To Be Wearing A Wedding Ring Soon

Monday, January 9th, 2012

Will Kopelman has proposed and Drew Barrymore is looking very happy these days with a smile perpetually plastered on her face. It’s official because her representative has released a picture of her smiling and wearing an engagement ring. It’s been a while now since she has stated that she wants to get married and to have children even while she was going through the whole controversy about her bisexuality. She has been very open about her life and she does not feel she has anything to hide or be ashamed of.
She and Will, an art consultant, have been together for a while now and they were spotted together last February when they walked down the red carpet together. He is the son of the person who heads Channel USA. The couple went off for a romantic break during the Christmas holidays to Idaho and it was at Sun Valley that he proposed with a giant diamond engagement ring. According to sources, he is madly in love with her and he knows that she is just the right one for him.
Drew Barrymore started acting when she was less than a year old in a TV commercial. Her first major movie was in ET and that is perhaps what she is most remembered for as a child star. She’s had a rough childhood with fame too early and problems of alcohol and drug abuse but she’s come through and is in a happy space now. She has been married twice before and this will be her third. She started her own production company a few years ago and one of its best successes was Charlie’s Angels.
