Angie & Brad Engaged – Simon Cowell & Dannii Minogue

Wow, well it’s been a bit of a hum dinger for celeb gossip this week and I know that some of you will all ready know this stuff, but I’m sure some won’t.  So here’s a quick round up of this week’s Celeb Gossip.

Angie & Brad Engaged

After Angie had been spotted sporting a HUGE $250,000 diamond ring on her wedding finger which apparently took Brad a whole year to design (yes guys, he designed the corker of a ring – how multi talented is he ... swoon), her and Brad have been forced to announce their engagement.  They’ve been together for 7 years now and have three natural children together as well as Brad becoming legal guardian of Angie’s other 3 adopted children.

Angie's Beautiful Engagement Ring

There have been reports that Jennifer Aniston is happy for them both as she’s completely in love with Justin Theroux (who happens to be the cousin of Louis Theroux – he did that serious of cringingly embarrassing but brilliant documentaries with Jimmie Savile, one about Swingers and Nazi’s in the US – compelling but difficult watching).

Allegedly they have decided to finally get married (they had always gone with the line that they would never get married until EVERYONE no matter what their gender could be married) after increasing pressure from their kids.  Brad designed the ring with ‘Jeweller to the Stars’, Robert Procop whose team said that he was heavily involved in the designed:

Procop said: 'Brad had a specific vision for this ring, which he realised over a yearlong collaboration. He wanted every aspect of it to be perfect, so I was able to locate a diamond of the finest quality and cut it to an exact custom size and shape to suite Angelina's hand.

He continued: 'Brad was always heavily involved, overseeing every aspect of the creative design evolution.
'The side diamonds are specially cut to encircle her finger. Each diamond is of the highest gem quality.'
Experts estimate the ring cost around $250,000.

How lucky is she! *sigh*

Simon Cowell & Dannii Minogue

Allegedly, according to a new unauthorised biography by Tom Bower (former BBC Journalist and music executive) Simon Cowell had a affair with Dannie Minogue before she met the father of her baby and just turned ex-partner, Kris Smith.  Not a very good month for her!  Firstly she splits with her partner and now this.

According to his book, Sweet Revenge: The Intimate Life Of Simon Cowell, the music executive said to a pal: 'There were a few bonks and then it petered out while I was in America.'

Whilst Simon has said that the book is ‘unauthorised’ he’s known as quite the control freak and undoubtedly knew what was going to be in the book before it was due to be published and as yet has made no move to stop it.  According to The Mail Online, when interviewed about it, the author said that he’d spoken to Cowell and he’d said that the romance was true.  It’s also worth noting that Cowell’s ‘people’ have refused to comment which in itself pretty much confirms its truth.

Danni and Simon both denied an affair back in 2008 when various shots of them holding hands surfaced.  He is quoted as saying: 'I had a crush on her. It was Dannii's hair, the sexy clothes and the t**s. I was like a schoolboy. She was foxy. She was a real man's girl. Very feminine.'

Bower's book describes how Dannii became Cowell's target when he changed the X Factor judging panel in 2007 to include her, allegedly calling her a 'new toy.'  I’m not usually huge on reading biographies (authorised or otherwise), but I think I may be taking a little peek at that one.  It’s out on 1st May (just in time for my holidays!).

Right lovelies, more tomorrow.  Until then, have a wonderful day and be fabulous.

Lots of love
