In news that is sure to break the hearts of some of my best friends (sorry, Don and Jeff), Latin singer and Menudo alum Ricky Martin is engaged. The 44-year-old singer, who can still rock a Speedo like nobody’s business, announced the big news on Tuesday’s episode of The Ellen Show.

Ricky’s intended is 31-year-old artist Jwan Yosef who, for the record, can also rock some skimpy swimwear. Side note: is it getting hot in here? Jwan is like a one-man EPCOT Center, born in Syria, raised in Sweden and based in London. Ricky and Jwan had quite the “meet cute” as the “She Bangs” singer told Ellen. Apparently, he was in the market for some new artwork and discovered Jwan’s work. He recalled, “I saw his art and I went crazy ‘cause I really love what he does. Really original. And I contacted him. I had no idea what he looked like and then I saw what he looked like and I’m like, ‘Yeah.’”

He certainly did get a work of art, didn’t he? Sigh….Sorry, I digress. After dating for nearly a year (they were “official” back in January), Ricky decided to pop the question, and the proposal was also the stuff of a rom-com. Says Ricky,

We just got engaged…. I proposed. I was really nervous. But I got on my knees and I took out, not a box, I just had them in a little velvet pouch. Instead of saying, ‘Will you marry me?’ I said, ‘I got you something!’ I said, ‘I want to spend my life with you.’ And he was like, ‘What is the question?’ [I said] ‘Would you marry me?’ It was very beautiful and thirty minutes after I said, ‘Wait, did you say yes?’ Yes, he said yes.

The father of 8-year-old twins Matteo and Valentino also used the show to promote his upcoming residency at the new Park Theater at the Monte Carlo in Las Vegas. The residency comes on the heels of his One World Tour, which wraps up on December 15 in Querétaro City, Mexico. The Vegas dates haven’t been announced quite yet, but tickets go on sale on Monday.

Hey, I’m always happy to hear when nice guys like Ricky find love, and I wish him and Jwan well. We can only hope they honeymoon somewhere warm and take lots of photos!

As some of you may have noticed, I am very interested in the way celebs wish each other Happy Birthday on social media. Take Karlie Kloss and Lily Aldridge. They are both supermodels, there are probably dozens (hundreds?) of photos of them together. And this is the one Karlie chose – Lily’s eyes …

As Kathleen wrote yesterday Dave Chappelle’s entire monologue on Saturday Night Live was the best. I just watched it again last night and am definitely keeping the recording on my PVR. So many punchlines were memorable, but unprintable. There’s one though that’s pretty safe, hilarious for his ran…

Tom Hiddleston arrived in LA yesterday from London. He’ll be on Jimmy Kimmel tonight to promote the release of the new Kong: Skull Island trailer. They’ve been teasing footage all week. The highlight here is that we’re going to see King Kong himself, being mad and crushing things, like helicopter…

The first trailer for the live action remake of Beauty And The Beast went viral earlier this week and has now set a record for most views in 24 hours, beating the previous record held by Fifty Shades Darker. Emma Watson’s social media presence had a lot to do with it as her Facebook page alone ac…

Expectant mama Natalie Portman stepped out on Wednesday (November 16).

The Academy Award-winning actress, 33, looked sporty in her maternity workout gear. While checking her phone, the Black Swan star went for a prenatal hike in Los Angeles, Calif.

On Monday, the pregnant actress radiated the red carpet in a white Christian Dior dress at the American Film Institute’s Festival in Hollywood.

Last week, the Thor actress wore a chic black midi maternity dress at the 20th Annual Hollywood Film Awards in Beverly Hills.

“I’m feeling great,” she said at the event.

Last month, we spotted Portman in a casual white top and maternity jeans while lunching in L.A.

The Garden State actress and husband Benjamin Millepied – who were wed in California in 2012 – are expecting their second child together. They are already parents to 5-year-old son Aleph.

Portman’s upcoming biopic, Jackie, premieres Dec. 2 in theaters.

Marion Cotillard was at the New York premiere of Allied last night. I love this outfit, the colour, the stripes, the shape of that jacket. I also love the red-lipped sweater she wore today. Marion has been doing a lot of the talking during this Allied press tour. Most of the talking? At a press c…
