Away We Go star John Krasinski has opened up about proposing to girlfriend Emily Blunt.

John, 29, announced his engagement to British actress Emily, 26, in August and he has now spoken out about the way he proposed to the Devil Wears Prada star.

He said: “We were here in LA and there were unicorns and oceans and clouds. She said yes!”

The actor, who also plays Jim in the NBC show The Office, added: “It was very casual. I was nervous and the whole nine yards. She did cry after I cried and we cried and they everyone around us was crying.

“Then, I think people weren’t really sure what was going on, but they were crying because we were crying. But it was great. At the end of the day, she said yes which is great. It’s a big part of this whole thing.”

The couple started dating in November 2008 and although they haven’t set a date, starting a family is also a step that is a long way off.

He said: “Not soon. I think we’re going to take our time with that, hopefully.”

Two female Los Angeles cops have been suspended over the leaked picture of a battered Rihanna after her February domestic abuse at the hands of R&B singer Chris Brown. The photo was taken while the Barbadian babe was being examined by authorities for her injuries. Both officers have been suspended after internal affairs searched their homes, offices and lockers as part of the probe. They face possible charges of identifying a victim of violence and further disciplinary action if convicted. That’s definitely an epic fail for having a job that requires you to uphold the law. What were they thinking?

Hollywood actress Jennifer Aniston said she has been though an “awful lot of ‘types’” of men over the years.

The 40-year-old actress has been linked to fellow actors such as Vince Vaughn, Owen Wilson and Bradley Cooper and was once married to actor Brad Pitt but they later divorced.

She said to the UK’s OK! magazine: “Let’s just say that over the years, I’ve gone through an awful lot of ‘types’ and that’s only proved that I don’t have one in particular!

“There have been the nerdy, sweet loveable ones, the strong and silent, the slick guys… Men in general are a good thing – and all so different.

“What I look for is a man who can be a friend, someone who is an equal and one with whom I feel comfortable. I want to be happy, and loved, and not settling for something second best and less than I deserve.

“But a relationship by itself is not what is going to make this gal survive – a relationship is the cherry on the top of the cake.”

Twilight stars Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are too serious and co-stars don’t want to hang out with them much anymore.

Kellan told E! News: “They’re just so complex, and I like to laugh and smile.”

Lutz also admitted that he doesn’t know what is going on between Pattinson, 23, and Stewart, 19.

He said: “I don’t know what’s going on. I have no idea. I don’t hang out with Rob or Kristen.”

Although the 24-year-old does know that the couple are currently almost prisoners of the press as they film for Twilight in Vancouver.

He added: “We all love Vancouver. It’s just that there’s just so many paparazzi everywhere. We’ve been moving around to new places like every two weeks. Especially for Rob—we feel bad for him. Like, we go out to cast dinners, and whenever Rob’s shooting, that’s when we can have free time because usually that’s when everyone is trying to shoot Rob or Kristen.”

The second film in the Twilight saga New Moon hits cinemas on November 20.

Sister Kristina added: “We’re going to try to sell them on eBay.”

Crystal also admitted that she has quickly got used to having the show’s cameras follow her around.

She said: “At first I was nervous with all the cameras following me around. We’d be in the middle of something, and I’d be staring into the camera. But I learned quickly, and I’m very used to it.”

Jim, 47, and Jenny have previously said they would never wed.

Mandy Moore has recently been revealed to be lending her vocals to the latest Disney animated feature ‘Rapunzel’ as the princess herself. The movie has some potential that past Disney flicks haven’t, mainly since music man Alan Menken, who also did the music for ‘Beauty and the Beast’ and ‘Aladdin’, will be composing. Voicing opposite the singer/actress will be ‘Chuck’ star Zachary Levi as “the bandit who finds himself on the road with the rebellious” Rapunzel. The revamp of the classic fairytale “picks up with the princess, famous for her 70 feet of golden hair, after she’s been stolen from her parents’ castle as an infant and imprisoned. Now a teenager, Rapunzel escapes and goes on the run with a bandit as her captor pursues them.”

He told Playboy magazine: “We took a walk to find a secluded place and ended up in a hayloft.

“Neither of use knew what we were doing, but we went at it feverishly – until her parents showed up, with doors opening, bright lights, them screaming, me stuffing my underwear and her bra down the back of my pants.

“‘We weren’t doing nothing,’ she told her dad. ‘Oh yeah? Then why is your shirt on inside out?’”
