VIDEO: Chad Ochocinco Gives Cheryl Burke a Ring
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Sports, Television, Videos,
Some students give their teachers apples as a token of their appreciation. Others give rocks—large ones.
Although Cheryl Burke hasn’t exactly been romantically linked to the football star (yes, they do flirt), she received an extremely generous present from Chad Ochocinco this week: a ring reportedly worth over $10,000.
The Dancing with the Stars competitor said the diamond-studded platinum piece was simply his way of thanking her. “It was just a gift ... In my world, we tend to give those that we care about gifts.” Chad added: “She has to deal with me nine hours a day. It’s like a marriage, so why not give marriage gifts? I don’t spend time with anyone like this—ever!”
A $10,000 ring for only being together 9+ hours a day? My actual husband must be squirreling away for a really big surprise!

Well - is he or isn’t he?
If you believe the latest reports, George Clooney may just be the last eternal bachelor standing. After weeks of rumors, multiple sources are now claiming that Simon Cowell is indeed engaged to girlfriend Mezhgan Hussainy.
Although the two have only been photographed together recently, Simon and Mezhgan (pronounced “mish-gone,” according to her website) have reportedly been dating for about six months now. Cowell and the 36-year-old first met years ago when she did makeup work on American Idol. (In other words, they knew each other when he was still dating longtime girlfriend Terri Seymour.)

Quote of the Day: Beyonce on Rings
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music,
For the November issue of Essence magazine, singer Beyonce Knowles finally opens up about her April wedding to Jay-Z.
In the interview, Knowles explains why she was against a big traditional wedding (“It’s been my day so many days already”) and why she didn’t want an engagement ring:
“People put too much emphasis on that. It’s just material and it’s just silly to me.”
Uhhh….is this coming from the same person currently sporting a $5 million dollar ring?

Check Out Beyonce’s Massive Piece of Bling
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Music, Weddings,
Sometimes pictures - or massive pieces of jewelry - really do speak louder than words.
Even though Beyonce and Jay-Z have not yet acknowledged their April nuptials, the Dreamgirls star has slowly been confirming the news her own way.
In the past few weeks, the singer has occasionally been seen with a very large rock on her ring finger. The flawless 18 carat gem - designed by Lorraine Schwartz - is valued at a whopping $5 million.
I guess someone won’t be needing to worry about the financial crisis anytime soon.

Depending on who you choose to believe, singers Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon are either just dating, engaged or already married.

When I first heard that Paris Hilton was dating Benji Madden, I, of course, had my doubts. But any pair willing to wear a tacky pieces of initialized jewelry must truly be in love.

Are Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz Heading Towards the Altar?
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Engagements, Rumors,
While Jessica Simpson is still trying to figure out her latest relationship with quarterback Tony Romo, sister Ashlee Simpson seems to be sailing along in her love life.
Or so her promise ring tells her.
The singer recently revealed that boyfriend Pete Wentz was the person behind her new piece of jewelry. Does this mean an engagement will soon be coming? Who knows? As Ashlee put it, “It just means that he hasn’t asked my dad yet.” (I’d do my best to avoid Joe Simpson as well.)
Does anyone want to let Ashlee know that promise rings are usually given by men are who simply stalling for time?
Then again, maybe they’re both stalling for time. It’d just be awful if she found happiness before her big sis did.
