Jason Mraz Breaks Off Engagement with Tristan Prettyman
Jason Mraz and his fiancé, Tristan Prettyman, have decided to break off their engagement. The 33-year old singer told The Daily Beast “My greatest mistake right now is, I’ve been clinging to my art. In that, I have victory for my art and a great loss for my heart. At the moment, my beautiful fiancé is no longer my beautiful fiancé. In my relationship, I was giving myself away to make the relationship better, but in actuality, wasn’t doing better by doing that. I became less of a man. We are still super friends, we go to yoga together, we surf together. We acknowledge the journey that each of us is on. We certainly want each of us to feel whole and complete. And it’s when you’re whole and complete that that attraction exists and it really thrives.” It doesn’t sound like it’s the end for both of them so maybe they can try again somewhere down the road.

No commentsMiranda Kerr: ‘Having a baby is the best thing I’ve ever done’
Miranda Kerr believes that having a baby is the greatest thing she has ‘ever done’. The 28-year-old supermodel and husband Orlando Bloom welcomed baby Flynn earlier this year and she said that it was her biggest life-changing moment of her 28 years. Appearing at the CFDA Fashion Awards in New York on Monday night, she told Us Weekly, "He’s the best thing I’ve ever done!" But she said that the happy youngster, who weighed in at 9lbs, 12 ounces at birth, is starting to get his baby teeth meaning that a few tearful nights lie ahead. "He turned five months old today, and it’s such a fun age. He’s smiling. He has two little teeth on the bottom now, so that’s been a little painful," she said. Kerr has previously credited breastfeeding for the loss of her baby weight.
No commentsMark Ronson designed his own engagement ring
It seems the singer and producer doesn’t spare anything when comes to making something special. Apparently Mark Ronson went to some lengths to make sure that his proposal to his girlfriend, Josephina de la Baume would go well, even going so far as to design the engagement ring himself. This is what Mark Ronson’s future wife had to say on the matter: ”Mark proposed on the beach in La Rochelle – I had no idea whatsoever. He designed the ring – it’s a yellow diamond, so beautiful.” If Mark Ronson doesn’t hold back when it comes to making his engagement special, it sure seems like Josephina de la Baume is pretty reserved when it comes to details. Surely Mark Ronson’s design included something more elaborate than a yellow diamond.
No commentsKris Smith: ‘Dannii Minogue split blown out of proportion’
Kris Smith has insisted that reports of a split between himself and Dannii Minogue have been "blown way out of proportion". The British model was said to have flown to Australia earlier this week for crisis talks with Minogue, amid claims that work schedules had sparked the end of their three-year relationship. But Smith, who has an 11-month-old son, Ethan, with the singer, said that it was a case of something being made out of nothing. He told the Herald Sun: "You show me a perfect relationship and I will show you a liar. Everything has its ups and downs and things do get magnified [when you are in the public eye]. "This is something that has been just totally blown way out of proportion. Everything is fine. We are good. We are happy." He added that they are in the process of "building a nice barbecue area" at their Melbourne home and making it "a bit more child-friendly".
No commentsKate Moss and Jamie Hince to sing at their wedding
Supermodel Kate Moss and her fiance Jamie Hince have both reportedly written songs for each other which they plan to sing at their upcoming nuptials. The 37-year-old won’t be letting any other artists steal her limelight when she marries Kills rocker Hince, 42, on July 1. A source told British newspaper the Daily Mirror: "Kate’s wedding is about to get even more rock ‘n’ roll with this latest addition to the reception. "Kate is made up about it.

No commentsJennifer Lopez finds love to be confusing
Even after being married for such a long time, it seems that the American Idol judge still finds love to be quite confusing. This is what Jennifer Lopez had to say on the matter: ”I think a lot of people go through life wondering if it’ll happen for them. I definitely went through stages of thinking, ‘Am I ever going to find Prince Charming?’ I admit it, I still find love the most confusing, fascinating thing in the world.” So Jennifer Lopez is apparently proving the philosophy that love is indeed ageless. Still, one must wonder how her former husband, Ojani Noa, and the home videos fit into all of the mystery and fascination of love.
No commentsKate Moss moves wedding forward?
Kate Moss has reportedly confused wedding guests with a last-minute date change. The supermodel was set to marry rocker Jamie Hince on July 2, but has apparently sent out cards to everyone on the invite list telling them it has been moved a day forward. A source told the Daily Star, "I received a piece of white card with silver writing on it. "It read, ‘Kate Moss and Jamie Hince will be marrying on Friday July 1. Save the date.’ "The date has shifted from Saturday the 2nd but there’s no more information about where the wedding is, how many days, nights, etc. "Kate’s doing her usual secret mission stuff but it’s not so funny when the wedding’s just four weeks away. She loves to surround herself with an air of mystery. "It’s very confusing. We have no idea how long to block out our time or where in the country we’ll be. We don’t know whether that’s the church or the party, whether we need to travel, or what’s going on. "And Friday is a strange day to ask us to keep free, when everyone believed it was Saturday and a weekend away." It was thought that Kate, 37, would marry in a church near her Oxfordshire home before throwing a festival-style reception at her house.
No commentsJustin Timberlake’s happy coincidence
It seems that while at a friend’s party, Justin Timberlake rand into one of his many former girlfriends. But not just any of them, no, Justin Timberlake coincidentally ran into his long-time favorite person, Jessica Biel. And the meeting apparently went well, as one source relates: “There was no PDA, but they were talking to each other for awhile. They ate and sat next to each other.” So it would appear that Justin Timberlake really doesn’t have any trouble juggling these women around. He’ll probably be returning to Ashley Olsen without too much fuss, but then who knows where he may go next.
No commentsNadine Coyle is once again on the market
The Girls Aloud singer has recently revealed that she and her now ex-fiancĂ©e have decided that they are much better of as friends rather than husband and wife. This is what Nadine Coyle tweeted on the matter: ”A few weeks ago Jason and I broke up. We are great friends and decided we are better this way. I’m in NYC working & I love all your support.” Well… that was surprising. Nadine Coyle is probably pretty thankful for the fact that she had planned on a long engagement and they didn’t jump into any marriage vows or legally binding agreements too soon. Or maybe this was her plan all along.
