It’s increasingly common for Hollywood couples to announce their engagement shortly after revealing a pregnancy, and Kim Kardashian and Kanye West would be no exception.  There’s just one pesky little thing standing in the way of their marital bliss:  Kim’s 10 minute marriage to Kris Humphries still hasn’t been dissolved.

Will Kanye West Propose To Kim Kardashian This Weekend?

No matter.  There’s a way around that, sources say.  Evidently Kim and Kanye are planning a commitment ceremony, to “celebrate their love” while they wait for Humphries to stop being so bitter and settle the divorce already. (Actually, I don’t blame him.  Story for another day.)  It will be much smaller and “a lot more low-key” than a wedding, reports Showbiz Spy, but there will be an exchange of rings.

Confirmed:  Kanye West Knocked Up Kim Kardashian!

Other sources report that Kim doesn’t necessarily feel she must be married to Kanye to “validate having his baby” but she “does not want to be married to another man at the time of the birth.   Part of that might be a legal issue:  under California law, a man is presumed to be the father of a child that is born during his marriage to the baby’s mother, or within 300 days of their divorce.   So corn-fed white boy Kris Humphries would be the presumed father of a half-black baby.  Now that is a perfect set up for a reality show if I ever heard one.

The bride-to-be confirmed the news via Twitter this weekend, saying:

Thanks for all the sweet congratulatory love, friends! And may I compliment your savvy use of that nifty engagement ring emoticon.

Wilde and Sudeikis first hooked up in November 2011.  Each has been married once before:  he to television and film writer Kay Cannon (2004-2010), she to Italian prince Tao Ruspoli (2003-2011).

Bethenny Frankel has just pulled the plug on her marriage to Jason Hoppy and Ellen DeGeneres sits down with the reality TV star and business woman to let her talk about the split on today’s (Jan 9th) episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show.

DeGeneres, 54, started out by explaining that the 40 year-old had been a scheduled guest before news of her divorce hit. “As I can see you are already getting emotional. You could’ve canceled easily. You were booked for this show and you could have easily canceled… These are just some of the magazines that you’re on the cover of and that’s got to hurt like hell to have to deal with that.”

The Skinnygirl founder explained: “Do I want to be doing this exact thing right now? No, but I can’t just only be on reality TV and show everything when it’s fairy princess, fairy tale and then not take my hits when I have to,” Frankel told Ellen. “I’ve kind of had the best worst year ever. I feel like a bit of a disappointment to all of you. And I feel like a failure.”

Fighting tears, Frankel continued: “I wanted the fairy tale. I thought I had it. And [daughter]Bryn is my fairy tale…I get letters…So many people have been so supportive and some people are judgmental and I really understand. But I also get letters from people saying, now I don’t believe in love and that’s just not true. Love is everywhere. It’s the road and you’re on it. It has peaks and valley and that’s what it is but I don’t know how people go through this because this is excruciating. I have to say.”

The Bethenny Ever After star added: “But look, the truth is, I wanted to rip the Band-Aid off so it could start to heal. This will obviously be better. I’m scared of the unknown future. You know everything and one day you don’t know. So I’m scared. I’m older. And I want to be able to say to people, ‘It’s about what I do now.’ I never thought I’d be a role model but I think to some people I am or have been. So this is an important time because it’s about what I do next. How I handle myself now with grace, with dignity. This is the time now that matters.”

Halle Berry and Olivier Martinez were spotted out and about in Paris on Thursday.  The lovebirds bundled up against the cold weather; it’s been chilly and rainy in the City of Lights.  Halle and Olivier are spending the holidays in France while Gabriel Aubry gets some quality daddy time with Nahla.  I guess being thousands of miles apart is one way to avoid a not-so-merry driveway beat down!

Troubled husband and wife Bethenny Frankel and Jason Hoppy have finally decided to end their marriage.   Frankel announced the news in a statement.

“It brings me great sadness to say that Jason and I are separating. This was an extremely difficult decision that as a woman and a mother, I have to accept as the best choice for our family.  We have love and respect for one another and will continue to amicably co-parent our daughter who is and will always remain our first priority. This is an immensely painful and heartbreaking time for us.”

Bethenny Frankel Launches Skinnygirl Sangria

The couple’s relationship has been on the rocks nearly this entire year; there have been numerous reports of temporary splits and cheating rumors.  In January, Frankel told Life & Style that their sex life had all but dried up.  All of this, naturally, played out during the third and final season of her reality show, Bethenny Ever After.    It’s hard enough having marital problems, but having them with cameras in your face surely only makes them worse.

Bethenny Frankel Tries To Pimp Her Baby For $$$$

Bethenny and Jason married in March 2010, when she was seven months pregnant; their daughter Bryn was born in May.  She’s been insanely busy ever since, launching an exercise DVD, an audio book and two regular books; selling her Skinnygirl cocktail line in exchange for a small fortune; and developing a talk show.   Jason, in comparison, has a fairly quiet career in pharmaceutical sales and real estate.   This will be Bethenny’s second divorce; her 1996 marriage to Peter Sussman lasted less than a year.

Ronnie Wood evidently still has it goin’ on – at least as far as his new bride is concerned.  The Rolling Stones guitarist married his sweetie, theater producer Sally Humphreys, on Friday in London.

The couple, who have been together less than a year, wed in a super-secret ceremony at the Dorchester Hotel.  Humphreys wore her mother’s wedding dress.  The Stones’ Keith Richards and Wood’s buddy Rod Stewart served as groomsmen.   Other guests included Sir Paul McCartney and his wife Nancy Shevell, and the groom’s children, Tyrone, Jesse and Leah Wood.

Humphreys says the fact that her new husband is 31 years older than her doesn’t really make a difference.  They’ve been friends for some time, she said, and it was just a matter of finding the right time for their relationship.  The Daily Mail quoted her:

‘Ronnie was married and then Ronnie wasn’t married. I have had boyfriends, then I didn’t have a boyfriend. It had to wait until everyone was clear. But I definitely feel like I have ended up in the right place.

‘There is an age gap. I would prefer it if there wasn’t but there is but maybe I’m a bit older and he’s a bit younger at heart.’

This is Wood’s third marriage.   He was previously married to Krissy Findlay, then Jo Wood.  He split with her in 2008 following an affair with a 21 year old cocktail waitress.  He dated model Ana Araujo for awhile, too.  His divorce from Jo was just finalized last year.

They finally got around to it!  After a year of separation, Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher are finally on their way to legally ending their relationship.  Kutcher filed for divorce today, December 21, in Los Angeles County Superior Court.

Demi Moore Smoked Fake Drugs, Seeks ‘Spiritual Counseling’

The filing cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for former Hollywood power couple’s split.  However, we all know what drove them apart last year:  naughty Ashton’s fling with two hot chicks.  Kutcher says he’s not seeking spousal support from Moore, but has left the door open for her to request the same.   She likely won’t:  according to Celebrity Net Worth, they are on pretty equal financial grounds (hers is estimated as $150M to his $140M).

The couple were married for six years.  This was Moore’s third marriage and Kutcher’s first.  They have no kids together.

Another day, another rumor about Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart.  They’re engaged, right?  Or, Rob’s about to propose?  Or as some posit, they’re probably already married, they just don’t want anyone to know it.  Or, their characters’ Twilight wedding was a real wedding?   Let’s sort out some of this speculation and gossip.

Photo Of The Day:  Kristen Stewart Hits Japan

And let’s start with what we DO know.  Rob and Kristen appear to be back together following her little indiscretion with her Snow White And The Huntsman director Rupert Sanders.  In July, she publicly apologized to him via an interview with People.  Now, out on the promotional trail for her new movie On The Road, she’s said she’s sorry again.  She told Newsweek:

“…I apologize to everyone for making them so angry. It was not my intention.”

The pair are rumored to be spending the holidays together, which is kind of big, right?   But will Kristen find a diamond ring under the Christmas tree?  The National Enquirer thinks so.  The rag has Kristen shopping for her wedding dress (she’s going vintage) and planning her wedding day makeup (mostly bare).  On his end, Rob is reportedly writing a wedding song for his leading lady (it will be their first dance) and designing an engagement ring (with a black diamond, naturally).

Kelly Clarkson has a lot to sing about these days – she got engaged over the weekend!  The lucky man is Brandon Blackstock, the son of her manager, Narvel Blackstock.  (Bonus bit of trivia:  Brandon’s stepmom is Reba McEntire.)   The pair have been together for about a year, but have known each other for quite some time.

The American Idol winner announced her happy news on Twitter, and also posted a photo of her engagement ring, saying:

Everyone has been asking about my engagement ring, so here it is It’s a yellow canary diamond with diamonds around it and Brandon designed it with Johnathon Arndt! They did an amazing job!

Yellow diamonds have become increasingly popular, as have colored diamonds in general.  Carrie Underwood‘s husband, Mike Fisher, proposed with a yellow diamond ring (also by Johnathon Arndt, as it happens); Charlie Sheen gave an 11 carat whopper to Brooke Mueller when they got engaged in 2007.

This will be Kelly’s first marriage and Brandon’s second.  He has two children from his first marriage.

Kelly’s newest album, a collection of greatest hits (simply titled “Greatest Hits – Chapter One“), was released last month.

What would Kat Von D and Deadmau5 do without Twitter?  About a month ago, they broke up on Twitter, then a few days later they got back together on Twitter.  This weekend, they got engaged on Twitter.    Deadmau5 (real name Joel Zimmerman) posted this romantic tweet:

I can’t wait for Christmas so…. Katherine Von Drachenberg, will you marry me?

Accompanying the post was this photo of the engagement ring the electronic music producer has designed for his bride to be:

The ring features a large center diamond flanked by two skulls.  The text reads:

“Changing the diamond to a black diamond FYI.  Sorry for the jpg…theyll finish the actual ring soon I hope.  I love you ”

Kat’s initial response was simple:  “!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”  Then she posted:

Mi corazon!!! Thank you all for the lovely congratulations! Please excuse me while I go squeeze the hell out of my fiancé! ❤

Which sounds like they were in the vicinity of each other, no?  Which begs the question:  why did Deadmau5 propose via Twitter?

Kat was married to tattoo artist Oliver Peck from 2003-2007.  She dated Mötley Crüe bassist Nikki Sixx for a couple of years, and then hooked up with – and got engaged to – bad boy Jesse James, who reportedly cheated on her with 19 different women.  They too had an on-again, off-again relationship, the only difference being that their indecisiveness was broadcast on Facebook instead of Twitter.   Deadmau5 was previously linked with Playboy Playmate Lindsey Evans.

We’ll have to wait and see whether this engagement sticks.   Congratulations for now, I guess.
