Celebrity Marriage Proposals

A marriage proposal should be one of the most romantic and memorable moments of your life, so how do the celebrities do it, given their deep pockets and intense media scrutiny?

British singer Seal rates highly in the romance ratings, following his spectacular proposal to supermodel Heidi Klum. He chose the day before Christmas Eve to take Ms Klum on a helicopter ride to the top of a 14,000 ft glacier. He then took her to a specially created igloo, where he made his proposal. Heidi Klum is quoted as saying that it was a “once-in-a-lifetime event”, and was clearly delighted with her impressive 10 carat cushion-cut diamond engagement ring.

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes had been dating for just two months when Tom chose the famously romantic city of Paris to make his proposal. After a candlelit dinner for two at the Le Jules Verne restaurant, he proposed at the top of the Eiffel Tower. The location is a bit of a cliché though, and the whole TomKat union was always a bit of an odd one, not least after all the strange rumours surrounding their scientology wedding and the birth of their daughter Suri.

Christina Aguilera’s fiancé, Jordan Bratman, filled a room with balloons, flowers and boxed gifts, with each gift accompanied by a poem he’d written. The last gift contained an impressive five carat diamond and platinum engagement ring. This is a simple and personal proposal, which shows Jordan’s heart is in the right place.

The British are renowned for their deep sense of tradition, as demonstrated by British actor, John Light, when he proposed to Neve Campbell. He got down on one knee and recited Shakespeare before presenting the ring.

A Florida beach was the setting chosen by David Arquette to propose to Courtney Cox. He arranged for an impressive fireworks display to start at the moment he proposed, providing a stunning backdrop to the event.

On the eve of the new millennium, Michael Douglas hosted a party at his Aspen home, where he proposed to his then two months pregnant fiancée, Catherine Zeta Jones. He chose a beautiful antique 10 carat marquise-cut diamond ring, estimated to be worth over a million dollars. Given the circumstances, one can presume he felt confident she would say yes!

Denzel Washington may be a Hollywood Oscar winner, but if there were Oscars for romance, he’d definitely be going home empty handed. He proposed to his wife over the phone whilst on location filming a TV series! The couple married in 1983 and went on to have four children. They renewed their wedding vows in 1995, in a ceremony presided over by Archbishop Desmond Tutu, proving that the most enduring marriages can spring from the least romantic starts.

It seems that while some celebrity proposals require a deep wallet, many are simply the result of a bit of effort and imagination, and could be within the reach of anyone. Of course, a big sparkling rock on your finger helps, but at the end of the day it’s the sentiment that really counts.

Kate Moss Immortalised In Gold

There are not many celebrities that could behave like Kate Moss and be rewarded with a solid gold iconic portrayal of themselves on display within the British Museum; but that is exactly what has happened to the inimitable Kate Moss.

The £1.5m solid gold statue, titled Siren, was created by Marc Quinn as part of the Statuephilia exhibition at The British Museum. It weighs 50kg, and is said to be the largest gold statue to be made in the world since the time of Ancient Egypt.
Quinn described Moss as "the ideal beauty of the moment", and someone who had "captured the spirit of an age".
Kate Moss has been a favourite among artists since her career began, almost twenty years ago. Perhaps most famously, Lucian Freud's famous nude portrait sold for £3.9 million in 2005.
The statue goes on show at the museum from October 4 to January 25. The exhibition will also feature work by contemporary artists including Damien Hirst and Antony Gormley.

Ellen DeGeneres & Portia de Rossi Get Married

Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi have officially married in a private ceremony within the grounds of their home, in front of just 19 close friends and family.

The intimate ceremony was led by Dr Wayne Dyer, a well known american personal development guru, and included personally written vows. The venue was filled with candles and flowers, whilst the couple sat on floor cushions. It sounds like it was a very romantic and personal ceremony.

Portia de Rossi looked absolutely gorgeous in a light pink dress by Zac Posen, while Ellen wore a white trouser suit by the same designer.

The couple exchanged rings designed by Neil Lane, who has also designed diamond engagement rings for Madonna, Reese Witherspoon and a host of other celebs.
I think it's great that they've been able to formalise their relationship in this way, and i'm sure it's a step forward for the gay marriage movement.

Matthew McConaughey Plants Baby's Placenta

Matthew McConaughey has confirmed his hippie status by announcing that he's going to bury his new baby's placenta in his orchard.

Aparently, the idea came to him following a trip to Australia. "When I was in Australia, they had a placenta tree that was on the river......and all the placentas of all that tribe, all that clan, whatever Aboriginal tribe that was, all the placentas went under that one tree and it was this huge behemoth of just health and strength."

The idea of planting a placenta is one that has been around for a long time, not only in Aboriginal culture, but also in other cultures. The Maori believe that planting the placenta reinforces our bond with the earth, as do the native Hawaiians, the Navajo, and the Costa Ricans. There can be no denying that it is extremely nutritious for the soil, and seems a more poetic way of dealing with the placenta when compared to the incinerator found in most western hospitals!

Giving birth in the West has become such a clinical event that it's great to see celebrities promoting this a more natural approach.

It seems that burying the placenta is becoming more popular in the UK, with placenta-planting ceremonies being considered an appropriately symbolic way of marking the arrival of a new child.

Ali G Wedding Postponed Innit!

Sacha Baron Cohen, otherwise known as Ali G and Borat, and his Aussie actress fiancée, Isla Fisher, have postponed their wedding plans.

The wedding was due to take place this summer, but the couple have now decided to wait until Isla completes her conversion to the Jewish faith.

Converting to another faith requires a huge amount of effort and commitment, so it's a good sign for their relationship, and for their family. They already have a daughter, Olive, born in October last year.

There have been rumours that Sacha's parents, and particularly his mother, are not happy that Isla has been slow with her Jewish studies, blaming her quick return to work after having the baby. It seems they are keen to formalise the marriage, and would have preferred her to stay at home following the birth, combining her Judaism studies and motherhood rather than pursuing her career.

At a time when many women want to have it all - the husband, kids and the successful career - there's usually sacrifices to be made somewhere along the way. Let's hope that the pressure doesn't have a negative effect on their relationship, as they make a great couple.

Celebrity Engagement Rings

There seems to have been a lot of celebrity engagements and weddings this year, so we thought it would be fun to have a look at some of the sexiest and blatantly bling-tastic engagement rings to have graced the fingers of some of our favourite stars and celebs.


I think we have to start the list with the ring that rates highest on the bling-ometer, and there can be no doubt that Mariah Carey wins this accolade hands down. Her whopping 15 carat emerald cut pink diamond ring is certainly an eyecatcher, if not a finger breaker! It's rumoured to be worth a cool $2.5 million.





Desperate Housewife, Nicolette Sheridan, was presented with a beautifully elegant 5 carat diamond engagement ring by singer Michael Bolton.





One of my personal favourites is the antique style diamond engagement ring worn by Katherine Heigl. It is a lovely pear shaped diamond with pave diamond platinum band. Aparently half the platinum band was made using platinum from her mother's engagement ring.




Spicy Salma Hayek has a ring that reflects her strong personality. Weighing approximately 5 carats, it is a LARGE classic oval cut diamond set in platinum - quite a rock!






Another one of my favourites has to be the understated but elegant diamond engagement ring worn by Scarlett Johansson. This is a round solitaire diamond on a diamond pave band.






Actress Jennifer Love Hewitt has an engagement ring which seems to match her sweet and feminine personality. It is a vintage diamond floral design, and is a family heirloom given to her by Scottish actor Ross McCall.





Carmen Electra made a less traditional choice with her black diamond solitaire ring, but it looks stunning, and suits her style perfectly.

Angelina & Brad Twins

Probably the most highly 'prized' celebrity babes to be born recently are Knox Leon (hello?!?) and Vivienne Marcheline Jolie-Pitt. Born on Saturday, both babies and mother are all said to be in good health.

The right to publish the first baby photos has sparked a ferocious bidding war between the celebrity magazines, which could result in the biggest baby photo payout ever! Brad and Angelina have said that ALL the proceeds will go to charity - which is great to hear, and confirms why they are still two of our favourite celebs!

Matthew McConaughey Baby Photos

Gorgeous actor Matthew McConaughey has reportedly sold pictures of his newborn son, Levi, for $3 million.

Levi was born barely a week ago, and his parents have already signed a deal with OK magazine for the photos! This is the crazy world of celebrity - rather than being totally consumed with the arrival of your first-born son, there's important money-making deals to be made.......i thought Matthew McConaughey was different!! But it seems that even though he has some fairly alternative activities, such as playing his drums naked in the garden........underneath it all, he's actually just out to make the most of his situation, and i guess money buys you freedom to do what you want. I just hope he does some good with the money......

Six Month Celibacy For Katie Price & Peter Andre

According to Peter Andre, he and his partner Katie haven't had sex for six months.

As seen on their reality TV show, Peter & Katie: The Next Chapter, Peter had aranged a romantic hotel break, hoping the pair could have some intimate time together. Their busy lives don't leave them much opportunity to do this.

Talking about their sex life, Peter said: "Having children ruins it! But it's about finding time for us as a couple and realising sex is no longer the number one priority in our relationship."

It's refreshing to hear celebrities talking about the reality of busy lives and having young children, and reassuring to know that even with all that money, they still suffer the same problems as us!

And well done to the pair for winning their libel case against the tabloid press!

Hotel Babylon Star Tamzin Outhwaite Gives Birth To Baby Girl


Tamzin Outhwaite and (gorgeous!) actor husband Tom Ellis have welcomed their first daughter together. Florence Elsie Ellis arrived last week.

Tamzin has previously said that: 'Having children is my biggest dream. I'd be happy not to work again and look after the children'. Following her previous success in Eastenders and Hotel Babylon, it will be interesting to see if she really does want to be a full time mum and give up her career.

Good luck to you both - it's refreshing to hear someone that values motherhood over fame and fortune. And i love the name.....

Coleen McCloughlin Wedding Ring


After finally tying the knot, pictures have been released of Coleen and Wayne's gorgeous diamond wedding rings.

Apparently, Coleen was involved in the design of the rings, and i have to say that they look great! A lot of thought has gone into the design, which involves a total of three rings for Coleen - the engagement ring, wedding band and a third band, which is wayne's wedding gift to her. Together, the three rings join to look like one stunning ring. Wayne's ring has also been designed to match Coleen's rings.

The white gold rings are encrusted with 18 carat diamonds, and were produced by New York jewellers, Jacob & Co.

Amy Winehouse Has Emphysema


It's such a shame to hear that Amy Winehouse is suffering from the potentially fatal lung disease, emphysema. She is such a talented young woman, with the kind of unique sound that doesn't come along very often.

However, she seems to be hellbent on destroying herself, and it seems that now her time is running out. If she doesn't take some drastic action, she's going to be on a breathing machine and will eventually kill herself.

I really hope she can turn things around, and find the strength to make some major changes in her lifestyle. She's only 24 years old, so has so much life ahead of her.

Wayne Rooney and Coleen McLaughlin Wedding

It's been billed as the celebrity wedding of the year, and next week it's finally going to happen! Wayne Rooney and Coleen McLoughlin will tie the knot in a lavish ceremony on the Italian Riviera.

The celebrity couple is reportedly splashing out £5 million on the event, most of which will be recouped in related magazine and other media deals.

60 of their closest family and friends are being flown out in 5 private jets to the wedding location on the 10th June. The celebrations will continue until the 14th June, and will include champagne breakfasts every day, a masked ball, a performance by Westlife and an unknown rap star.

Coleen's dress has been designed by British Designer, Georgina Chapman's label, Marchesa. Apparently, Coleen has purposely chosen an A-lister designer rather than the usual WAG designers in an attempt to not look like a meringue! The dress is rumoured to have cost a cool £200k, on top of designer wedding rings costing £100k.

Coleen, a catholic, is even flying out her local Croxteth priest to carry out the blessing.

Wayne leaves today for his stag party, together with 25 friends, being held at a villa in Ibiza. Coleen has had two hen celebrations already, and is off on a third to the Canary Islands. Let's hope that Wayne can keep himself under control for the next few days!!

I can’t wait to see the wedding pictures! There have even been rumours that Coleen wants to ration the alcohol available to certain Rooney family members, so they don’t make a fool of themselves in front of the magazine photographers at the events!

At every wedding theres family problems and it doesnt seem to make a difference whether you are famous our not. Wayne Rooneys Cousin Natalie Rooney and Stephen Rooney were not invited to the wedding apparently by Coleen. Natalie flashed her boobs on Coleens 21st Birthday bash.

Is Lindsay Lohan In A Lesbian Relationship?

Well, it seems that the rumours are rampant about Lindsay Lohan and DJ Samantha Ronson, after they were seen openly kissing & canoodling in Cannes this week. Are they more than just friends??

Tongues were wagging even more when Lindsay started wearing a diamond ring on her engagement finger......

I think she looks really happy in the pictures, so whatever the nature of their relationship, it seems to be having a positive effect, so good for her!


Samantha Ronson is the sister of DJ Mark Ronson, and the two have become very close friends during the last year.

Can Billy Zane Win Back Kelly Brook?

It looks like Billy Zane is pulling out all the stops in an attempt to win back Kelly Brook, after she recently called off their engagement and declared that she didn't think he was the right man for her to marry.
Billy was spotted buying red roses and chocolates before taking Kelly out for a romantic dinner in London.......but i think he could have been a bit more creative!! Roses and chocolates are hardly very original.......

Kelly is still not wearing her diamond engagement ring, so it looks like he might have to try a bit harder to win her back!

Mariah Carey Wedding Ring

So what is going on with all these secret weddings.

Mariah Carey married Nick Cannon in April whilst in the Bahamas.

According to The People Newspaper the rings were huge, proper good old bling. Mariah wore a huge Pink Diamond ring apparently worth 2.5 milion. 17 Carats! Theres also reports that Nick bought Mariah a ring costing 17 million!

All a bit much I think

If you cant quite afford that then Im sure you will be able to afford a wedding ring or engagement ring from The Diamond Store....type in "chicks" and get 5 pounds off!

Kym Marsh & Lee Sharpe

I was sad to hear the news of Kym Marsh and Jack Ryder. They have been married quite a few years now and sadly it was announced that they are separated. Then a few days later she is seen with Lee Sharpe!



Nearly always is someone else involved. Its weired that when she got with Jack Ryder he was a big part in Eastenders and now we dont hear of him at all whilst Kym Marsh has done really well for herself and I think is a fantastic actress.



So when shes divorced will Kym & Lee be engaged? Will we see an engagement ring? Im not so sure, Lee seems to have been involved with everyone...unless Kym has really knocked him off his feet.

Is Mariah Carey Engaged?


Mariah Carey has been spotted wearing a gorgeous (and enormous) diamond ring on her wedding finger, sparking rumours that she's engaged to current boyfriend, Nick Cannon.
Neither Mariah nor Nick's PR reps have confirmed the rumours, so we'll just have to wait and see if this is an engagement ring, or whether Mariah has simply decided to treat herself to a bit of bling!
Either way, it's a stunning piece of jewellery to show off.

Brad & Angelina To Get Married On A Boat


Apparently Brad & Angelina will finally be getting married this summer on a luxury yacht, off the coast of France.

The boat belongs to a friend of the couple, Paul Allen, who is one of the co-founders of Microsoft.

Brad & Angelina will be in France for the final three months of her current pregnancy, and plan to marry after the birth. It will be an intimate wedding, with only closest friends and family present.

Brad designed the engagement rings and wedding rings for his first marriage to Jennifer Anniston, so it will be interesting to see what he comes up with second time around!

Kelly Brook & Billy Zane Split

Apparently Kelly Brook and Billy Zane have split. Whilst Kelly Brook was in Come Dancing her dad died and this affected her really badly as you can imagine and she couldnt carry on with the programme.

Kelly and Billy have been together for quite a while and I always found them a bit of a strange couple but they seemed to have a good relationship. Billy was very jealous of Kelly whilst she danced with Brendan on Come Dancing.

Kelly was seen at some awards the other night not wearing her Engagement Ring and thats when the rumours started.

Minnie Driver Baby's Father Named


The cat is finally out of the bag! Media reports are naming Craig Zolezzi as the father of Minnie Driver's baby.

Craig is a San Francisco musician, but doesn't seem to have a very public profile - until now......no doubt he'll be hounded by the media for a while as the news spreads.

Minnie was originally a Jazz singer before becoming better known as an actress, and then dating some famous actors including Matt Damon and Barbra Streisand's stepson, Josh Brolin. Recently she's been concentrating on her music career and trying to establish herself as a serious singer / songwriter.

Will Craig be making an honest woman of her, and getting a diamond engagement ring on her finger??
