Lady Antebellum’s Hillary Scott Engaged!

Lady Antebellum’s Hillary Scott is the newest in the celebrities to get engaged. Scott got recently engaged to her drummer boyfriend Chris Tyrell.

Scott’s boyfriend popped the question on this July 4th weekend while the couple were on the late at East Tennesse. After their hike, Tyrell got down on one knee and popped the question.

In an interview Scott said, “We feel so blessed by God that He sent us each other, and we are looking so forward to forever together.”

Remembering Princess Diana!

Princess Diana would have been celebrating her 50th birthday today on July1st, 2011.

One of the magazines put their cover image of princess Dina, imagining how she would have looked at 50 and that of Kate Middleton together. And although, this image has stirred up quite many conversations, a lot of whom didn’t like the idea of putting Diana’s ghostly image.

Quite contrary to this, I found it quite interesting. Since the time Prince William got engaged to Kate Middleton, there have been innumerous comparisons of the two. Seeing the image of them on the same canvas (even if fictitious) was an intriguing sight.

What’s do you thing about this – Brilliant Imagination or a cheap trick??

Julie Benz Engaged!

Love is in the air. Former Dexter’s actress Julie Benz recently got engaged to her boyfriend, Rich Orosco. Well you can’t say a no when you are popped the question with a stunning $80K rock and Mariachi band.

"The proposal was simple and beautiful -- and then I was shocked by the pop-up surprise Mexican fiesta engagement party," Benz said. "What girl doesn't want to be serenaded by a Mariachi band surrounded by close friends and family?"

Benz’s engagement ring had a stunning cushion cut diamond, which was brilliantly complemented with pave diamond border set in handmade platinum band. The milgrain detailing in the ring gives the ring a very vintage look.

After Kim Kardashian, it is Julie Benz, let’s see who’s next?

Kate Middleton looks stunning as ever at the Irish Guards Medal Ceremony

It has been almost two months that Will and Kate got married, but we never seem to get enough of them. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were attending a ceremony held to honor the Irish guards in London on Armed Forces Day.

Like always, this time too Kate was dressed perfectly for the occasion. She wore a classic blue coat with matching shoes and a fancy hat. There was a very subtle touch of jewelry with her much talked about diamond sapphire engagement ring and dangling gemstone earrings.

This was the first event of Prince William as the Colonel-in-Chief of Irish guards, an honor that he received this February.

The newly wed couple took time to personally speak with all of the 60 members. In his speech Prince William said, "I am proud to be your Colonel. I am humbled by the thought of the sacrifices that you and your families have made and the losses that you suffered, all in the service of our country."
