Course Hotel in Scotland Friday, Warne, 42, is said to have proposed during dinner at the hotel’s Road Hole Restaurant.

Flashing a giant sapphire and diamond engagement sparkler Saturday, Hurley Tweeted a photo of the pair prior to their dinner, along with the message “Thanks for all your congratulations.” Warne then copied the message onto his own Twitter page and circulated it to his followers.

It will be the second marriage for both Warne and Hurley, who finalized her divorce from hubby of four years Arun Nayar in June.

Liz Hurley’s impressive sapphire engagement ring (right) bears more than a passing resemblance to the one Prince Charles gave to Princess Diana in 1981, pictured left.

That 12-carat oval sapphire, surrounded by a cluster of 14 diamonds, cost £28,500 from Garrard of Mayfair at the time. 

It was, of course, presented to Kate Middleton by Prince William on their engagement in November last year. Jewellers have reported a rush for similar-looking rings ever since.

But sapphire has long been a popular choice for engagement rings as it has come to symbolise love, truth and commitment.

In the 12th Century, crusaders would present their wives with sapphire rings to test their fidelity, believing the vivid colour would fade if a woman was unfaithful.

British heiress – and newlywed – Petra Ecclestone had a surprise waiting for her when she and her husband James Stunt returned to Los Angeles on Thursday: a bow-topped white Rolls Royce.

Onlookers said Ecclestone “seemed very excited” to see the car parked outside their hotel in Beverly Hills.

She and Stunt are staying at a hotel while they wait to move into Aaron and Candy Spelling’s former home in Los Angeles, which Ecclestone purchased in July.

“Petra and her husband James are very excited to be moving to L.A.,” a source tells PEOPLE. “They’re staying in a hotel until renovations on their new home are complete, but they hope to move in later this month.”

Ecclestone also plans to attend New York’s Fashion Week later this month to present her new Stark handbag line, according to the source.

Nadine Coyle

“Girls Aloud” singer Nadine Coyle is engaged to NFL star Jason Bell.

Bell proposed last week while at home in Los Angeles.

“I just got back from London and he was in New York and he surprised me with a ring and stuff, while I was in my pajamas!” Coyle tells Radio 1. “If I had known I would have had a blow-dry or at least had a manicure or something!”

Coyle and Bell have been dating for two years and met through a mutual friend.

“He was really nice about it,” she adds of the proposal. “He got down on two knees, not one knee because he had played football for a while so he was all banged up.”   – CelebrityBrideGuide.com

Prince William and Kate Middleton

From Herald Sun

PRINCE William will end the marathon wait for Kate Middleton – by making her his bride in 2012, just before the London Olympics.

The News of the World reported yesterday that the couple would marry just before his 30th birthday in June.

The couple want their big day when the world’s spotlight is on London – for the Queen’s diamond jubilee in June and the Games, which start on July 27.

A senior insider said: “William and Kate are aware a royal wedding followed by the jubilee celebrations and the Olympics will really put Britain on the map again.”

Secret plans are being drawn up for the nuptials to fit in with both major events.

The source said: “This will be a landmark occasion.

“The Chinese may have put on a great show for the last Olympics but nobody can do royal pomp like we can. It will be spectacular.

“There is no doubt that Kate is the right girl for William.

“Their future together is sealed.

“The powers that be, and I mean right to the top, see this as the perfect opportunity to secure the monarchy at the heart of the people at a time when the media focus is on our country.”

Rumours have been rife about when the couple will wed.

They met at the University of St Andrews in Scotland and have dated for eight years, splitting up twice along the way.

A week after tying the knot, Stephen Moyer and Anna Paquin hit the red carpet at the Emmys Sunday in L.A.

“It was a great day,” he gushed when asked about the wedding on E!’s pre-show. “It couldn’t have been better.”

Asked for details, he joked that it was a small affair with just “a few thousand friends and family.”

He was then asked how he knew 28-year-old Paquin (in Alexander McQueen), his True Blood costar, was The One.

“It just felt right,” said Moyer, 41, who got cozy with his new wife Friday at an Entertainment Weekly pre-Emmys bash in West Hollywood. “I’ve never felt it quite so much as I did with this. It was just obvious.”

As for their new steamy Rolling Stone cover, she joked, “There are certain things that needed to be covered or it would have to be sold in a different venue. No one’s covering their own bits!”

Zoe Saldana and Keith Britton

By Mawuse Ziegbe – MTVNews.com

Actress Zoe Saldana is taking on a new role: wife. The star, whose celebrity status has been boosted by the runaway success of the record-smashing flick “Avatar” and her role in the reboot of iconic sci-fi franchise “Star Trek,” is engaged to her boyfriend of 10 years, Keith Britton. A rep for the actress confirmed the news to Us Weekly.

Although the actress and her beau have been together for a decade, the starlet has largely kept quiet about her relationship with Britton, the CEO of the website My Fashion Database. She has, however, spoken frankly about her sensual side.

“Love it, love it, love it — can’t live without it! I love sex,” Saldana said in the April 2010 issue of Essence magazine. “I love skin. I don’t believe the body is something to hide.”

While Saldana’s star has risen over the past few years with a slew of hit movies, she has mentioned that she and Britton deliberately try to keep their relationship out of the spotlight.

“We travel a lot, which keeps things alive. We’re very private. It’s worked for 10 years — long enough to go to hell and back,” Saldana told Glamour magazine earlier this year. The actress also opened up about where she would like to be in another 10 years. “I want to be the best daughter, sister, friend and wife I can possibly be,” said Saldana. “Because when I die, I am not going to be buried with my Oscar. I want to love life.”

Prince Albert of Monaco and his fiancee Charlene Wittstock

By Gayle Fee and Laura Raposa – BostonHerald.com

Prince Albert of Monaco is finally tying the knot – and an old classmate from Amherst College couldn’t be happier.

“Thank God,” said former state Sen. Warren Tolman, who has known the former playboy prince – and father of two illegitimate children – since their frat-boy days on the western Mass. campus.

The palace in the tiny French principality announced yesterday that the 52-year-old royal is engaged to stunning South African former Olympic swimmer Charlene Wittstock, 32, whom he’s dated for several years.

According to protocol, royal couples must wait at least six months between the announcement of the engagement and the wedding day, a palace spokeswoman said yesterday. Hmmm. A royal December wedding???

News reports said Albert – a former Olympic bobsledder – met the swimming champ in 2000 when she was in Monaco for a tournament. Wittstock swam for South Africa at the Sydney Olympics that year but did not medal.

The former school teacher moved to Monaco in 2006.

Kate Rogers and Rush Limbaugh

By Stephen M. Silverman FROM People.com

Update Monday June 07, 2010 06:00 AM EDT Originally posted Sunday June 06, 2010 10:00 AM EDT

Talk about an odd couple: conservative radio commentator Rush Limbaugh and outspoken gay civil-union advocate Elton John.

But, according to a News Corporation (which owns Fox News) wire report, the Rocket Man, 63, serenaded the 400 guests into the wee hours Saturday night to celebrate the marriage of Limbaugh, 59, to Kathryn Rogers, 33, in the Ponce de Leon ballroom of Florida’s fabled Breakers hotel in Palm Beach. Sir Elton’s fee: $1 million, the report notes.

Amid dozens of giant bouquets of white roses (and very tight security), reports the Palm Beach Post, guests at the wedding included former Bush adviser Karl Rove; actor-politician Fred Thompson; former Kansas City Royals slugger George Brett; Fox News commentator Sean Hannity; former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani; New England Patriots owner Bob Kraft; former Clinton adviser James Carville and his wife, GOP analyst Mary Matalin; and golfer Tom Watson. A wedding guest also tells PEOPLE that among the others was Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.

The couple met six years ago, while she was running a charity golf tournament and Limbaugh was in the process of divorcing for the third time.

Sunday morning, a source tells PEOPLE, the newlyweds hopped Limbaugh’s private Gulfstream jet for a honeymoon in Mexico, Africa and a couple other spots.

Rogers is a direct descendant of President John Adams, and her father attended the U.S. Naval Academy with the future Arizona Senator (and 2008 Republican Presidential candidate) John McCain, reports NewsCore.

The wire service also quotes the new bride as saying of the couple’s 26-year age gap: “I’m sometimes not able to relate to the average person my age.”
