Flashy engagement rings have been the trend in Hollywood for years. Celebrities try to out do each other with bigger diamond or more unique settings. From huge 4 carat stones to bright red rubies, if it’s in Hollywood it has to get noticed. For the rest of us, it isn’t easy to keep up with the lavish trends of Hollywood. Your average fan doesn’t have a million dollars to spend on a ring. If you just have to have the latest in Hollywood trends then Christina Ricci’s new ring might be more within your budget. Ricci’s beautiful ring is smaller and exudes class; a direction that more of Hollywood might emulate this year. Continue reading »
The first Academy Awards ceremony took place on May 16, 1929 honoring the best films of 1927 and 1928. Only 270 people attended and the ceremony lasted nearly 15 minutes, very different from what it is today. Now, people from all over the world gather for this big event, whether at the location itself or to watch it from their couches at home. The Academy Awards have become one of the most popular events in history; a time to honor the men and women who have touched us through motion pictures. We have tough choices ahead of us this year with excellent nominations from each category; however, one must triumph above the others and claim their coveted prize – the Oscar. Here’s our predictions for who the Oscar will go to:
Hollywood gossip was through the roof on the night of the 2013 Grammy’s; the juiciest bit being the news of Rihanna and Chris Brown. With Rihanna in her stylish red gown with a see-through top and Chris in his snazzy white suit, the back and forth couple gave everyone on the red carpet a run for their money. If her dress wasn’t scandalous enough for the red carpet event, showing up with the boyfriend who was arrested for beating her in 2009 sure was. The two were rather cozy throughout the evening, but the ring on Rhianna’s finger was the first real shocker. The second shocker came later on in the night. Continue reading »

There’s no doubt that social media, and especially Twitter, has changed the way that celebrities interact with the world. From what they thought about last night’s Survivor episode to answering their fans’ most pressing questions; the stars have definitely embraced Twitter. It makes sense, too. Twitter is an easy way for stars to directly connect with all of their fans worldwide with no filter (which can get them into trouble…). To the contrast, there is some news that celebrities try to keep secret until they are ready to tell the world, like their engagements, however more and more celebrities are making their betrothals public via the social media platform.

From the spectacular 72-day marriage fail to previous Mr. Kardashian Kris Humphries, to the baby bump that appeared after Kim started dating Kanye West; Kim Kardashian always seems to instigate gossip whenever something new happens in her personal life. Well, that trend is continuing; KimYe may be headed down the aisle – after Kim’s divorce, of course. Even though her divorce with Kris has not been finalized, and polygamy is illegal, Kim wasn’t afraid of sporting her brand new ring in a picture posted on Twitter. Continue reading »

Valentine’s Day, the most romantic day of the year, is fast approaching and ladies everywhere are dreaming of what their guys will be getting them. Some potential gifts include sweet chocolates, lingerie, sappy sentimental cards and, maybe, a gorgeous diamond ring for the very lucky lady. On Valentine’s Day, celebrities love to pamper their significant others and some might even pop the BIG question. One thing is certain, on February 15th the paparazzi will be ogling the left hand of every eligible bachelorette in Hollywood; trying to snatch the first photo of the luscious jewel and reveal that another celebrity couple is headed down the aisle.

Celebrity engagements tend to fizzle before they get to the altar, but the rumors aren’t always true. For one thing, the ring is not always returned. If she’s still out and about flashing the bling, it can be hard to know if it’s really over or if it’s just another celebrity fabrication. In some cases, the jilted bride may even keep the ring thinking she has some sort of claim on it while others will simply do it out of spite . Regardless of the reason, the public is often left wondering as to whether or not they are really over. Continue reading »
Is marriage passé in celebrity circles? It sure seems so when the presentation of an engagement ring comes with no set wedding date. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were the most famous pair to just “go with the flow” and refuse to marry despite their many children. They’ve recently changed their minds and even had a ring made, but still haven’t set a date. The excuses range from the practical to the socially awkward, but it seems some celebrities are not exactly in a rush to get married. Continue reading »
Singer Brandy Norwood can now stop hinting about a ring. Her fiancée, Ryan Press, has finally obliged giving the entertainer more than just a “bubble gum ring” that she hinted she would accept from him in a heartbeat. The couple was vacationing in Hawaii when she posted a picture showing off her large diamond engagement ring on Instagram. While it may be a no-no to hint about a ring, this time it appears to have worked and Brandy has gotten her man. Continue reading »
