THE SHORTLIST FOR JULY 31
Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden's romance sparks engagement talk
She's already introduced him to her family and he's gushed publicly that "life is good" since he became "lucky" enough to date her. But are Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden ready to walk down the aisle after just a few months together? Sources close to the couple seem
to think so. "It's early, but they have talked about marriage," a snitch dishes to People, in spite of Diaz having said on multiple occasions that she thinks marriage is an out-dated tradition.
Another insider says that the pair have made Diaz's Los Angeles home their love nest, noting that, "Benji spends so much time at Cameron's that it seems he now kind of lives there."
Having returned from a visit to Cammy's Florida-based relatives, the couple headed to Europe where they sailed past the coasts of France and Italy in what People reports was a "$633,000-per-week, three-story mega yacht" called the Lady Britt.
"They look very happy together," says one of People's sources. "Cameron hasn't looked this happy for years."
Back in 2012, when the "Sex Tape" star covered Esquire UK a few months after turning 40, she mused that marriage was never appealing to her when she was younger. "It just wasn't the thing I was drawn to," she said. "I certainly didn't want it in my 20s. Or my 30s." Asked if her 40s could be different, she teased, "We'll see!"less
ALICIA KEYS ANNOUNCES SHE'S PREGNANT WITH HER SECOND CHILD, POSES FOR BUMP PICTURE
Aww! Alicia Keys and husband Swizz Beatz are expecting their second child together -- and the singer made the announcement via Instagram on Thursday, July 31, with the cutest picture of her bump.
The Grammy winning musician, who is already mom to 3-year-old Egypt, shared the adorable picture of herself, 33, and her husband, 35, cradling her blossoming belly, as they celebrated their fourth wedding anniversary.
"Happy Anniversary to the love of my life @therealswizzz!!" the "Empire State of Mind" singer wrote. "And to make it even sweeter we've been blessed with another angel on the way!! You make me happier than I have ever known! Here's to many many more years of the best parts of life!"
Last year Keys admitted her and Beatz's path to love was not straight forward.
"Honestly, I didn't really like him that much," the singer told Marie Claire U.K. "I thought he was too ostentatious."
But after refusing to work together many times, Keys eventually gave in, and discovered she’d been too quick to judge the handsome music producer.
"I think we've taught each other a lot," she says of her husband, whom she married on the French island of Corsica in 2010. "He's taught me to live more fully, and I think I've taught him to live more deeply."
Happy Birthday Megan
'I'm very rich b***h': NeNe Leakes defaces $8,000 Hermes Birkin bag with Real Housewives catchphrases
Hermes Birkin bags often fetch five figures, but NeNe Leakes didn't let that deter her from drawing all over hers.
Giving new meaning to the term 'statement bag,' the Real Housewives of Atlanta star scrawled some of her favorite sayings from the reality show on the expensive leather tote, including 'Close your legs to married men,' 'I said what I said,' 'So nasty and so rude,' 'Fix that body,' and 'I'm very rich bitch.'
The bag looks like a standard leather version of the Birkin, and likely cost between $8,000 and $10,000.
Mrs Leakes, 46, recently showed off her artwork on Instagram, writing: '#personalized #birkin #neneisms #hermès custom by me & my husband had a fit.'
She has previously been spotted carrying a bright blue Birkin, but presumably hasn't yet doodled on that one.
