On the day his son, Levi, was born, Matthew McConaughey ripped off his shirt and proposed to Camila Alves, the mother of his newborn son. Okay, so maybe he didn't rip off his shirt -- that's just the way we like to picture it happening -- but he did propose just hours after Levi was born, and Camila happily accepted.

According to the Enquirer, Matthew wants Camila to design her own engagement ring, though he's been hunting for the diamond himself. They plan to have a beach wedding at sunset, and while they haven't set a date just yet, Matthew apparently hopes to tie the knot by Christmas.



We're all for the marriage (even if it does take Matthew off the market officially), but we're slightly concerned that it was a spur of the moment decision. Holding your baby for the first time certainly brings with it a wealth of emotions, and we hope that Matthew's proposal was something he'd been thinking about for a while and simply decided the time was right. What do you think?

Mena Suvari is gearing up to take her second walk down the aisle with a much older man. The American Pie and American Beauty actress' rep has confirmed that the 29-year-old is engaged to her 46-year-old music producer boyfriend, Simone Sestito.

Sestito proposed during a romantic Jamaican vacation. They met last September at the Toronto International Film Festival, and though the relationship seems to be moving along quickly, a source claims that, when it comes to planning the wedding, "They're in no rush."

Suvari was previously married at the age of 21 to cinematographer Robert Brinkmann, who was 18 years older than the petite beauty. She filed for divorce just over three years ago.

Rumor has it that Heroes actor Milo Ventimiglia, 31, has been ring shopping for his co-star and girlfriend, 18-year-old old Hayden Panettiere. Sources have even gone so far as to claim that he's favoring Cartier and plans to spend around $200,000.



While it sounds like Hayden could be in for a fabulous rock, we have to wonder if, at 18, she's really ready to be engaged. It doesn't seem unlikely that Milo is at that point in his life -- he's probably totally ready to settle down and start a family. But, even if his more diminutive half seems mature for her age, 18 just seems awfully young.

What about you? What do you think about engagements and age? Leave your answer in the poll, or let us know in the comments!

We would be nothing but disappointed if Cher found herself some boring old businessman to settle down with and marry. Fortunately, we don't have to worry -- the 62 year old is reportedly set to marry Tim Medvetz, a motorcycle customizer more than 20 years her junior.

Her rep recently denied that the diva had already married in a quickie Vegas ceremony, saying, "She isn't even in Vegas at the moment. Cher promised me if she ever got married again, I could be the flower girl." She also denied that Cher had made her groom sign a $600 million pre-nup.

Some speculate that the marriage will take place later this year, when Cher returns to Vegas to resume headlining her show, which alternates with Bette Midler's Vegas spectacular. All we can say is that we hope, hope, HOPE that Bob Mackie designs the wedding gown!

Jason Lee, star of My Name is Earl, has filed for a marriage license with his girlfriend, Ceren Alkac. Onlookers at the Norwalk, California courthouse said the couple looked happy and that Jason took time to chat with a few of his fans.

Jason recently revealed that they are expecting a child this fall, which will be the second baby the Scientologist actor has fathered. He has a son with ex-fiancee Beth Riesgraf named Pilot Inspektor. He insists Pilot Inspektor doesn't hate him for giving him such a weird name, and that the boy attends "a little hippy school where all the children have interesting names. He has a friend named Zoot." We just hope he doesn't try to find something even more offbeat for his newest child.

At any rate, we wish the best to the quirky couple, and we suggest that Jason find some clothes for his wedding that don't actually belong to Earl. Just a suggestion.

Uma Thurman's rep has confirmed that she is engaged to her Swiss boyfriend of over a year Arpad "Arki" Busson. She was spotted with a humongous diamond at Sir Elton John's 10th White Tie and Tiara benefit earlier this week. Sources are saying the diamond is so large "she can't fit it through the sleeve of her coat."

Listen Uma, we all have problems. You have a ring you can't fit through your coat sleeve, we have rings worth less than your coat sleeve -- it's the same basic thing.

Recently, Uma's ex-husband, Ethan Hawke, took out a marriage license with his pregnant girlfriend, so the timing is interesting. Uma was reportedly "shocked" when Arki presented her with the ring, but wedding plans are now in the works. Now, if the dress has to compete with the ring, Uma might have some shopping to do!

He may have said he wasn't shopping for rings back in March, but sometime between then and now he obviously did -- Timberwolves shooting guard Marko Jaric proposed to Victoria's Secret model Adriana Lima on her 27th birthday on Thursday. After approximately nine months of dating, he presented her with a ring, popped the question, and she said yes.

Adriana is famous not only for her ability to look fabulous in the tiniest of lingerie but also for her dating history. She dated musician Lenny Kravitz as well as Derek Jeter of the New York Yankees. And, despite having dated such hotties, the model insists she's remaining a virgin until marriage.

One thing is certain -- the girl will have no problem finding some sexy lingerie for her wedding night!

One of the hardest things about being engaged is knowing when to share and when to zip your lip. If you work in an office, you will likely run into a couple of challenges.

First of all, your coworkers will probably ask you all about the details, and you might really want to share every single bit of planning -- it's fun to have people excited for you! At the same time, though, you need to make sure you're holding your own as far as your job goes, so even if you're dying to share your new wedding website (and show your coworkers your favorite AisleDash posts), you need to still focus on work.

Aside from just handling your duties during work hours, you need to consider how the sharing of details will affect your guest list. If you tell people all about the wedding, they'll expect to be invited, so if you're trying to keep your guest list numbers down, you need to keep your plans to yourself. Check out this article at Forbes for more advice on handling your wedding at work.

While it has been widely rumored that Harrison Ford popped the question to his girlfriend, Calista Flockhart, on April Fool's Day (either 2007 or 2008, depending on the source), the couple's rep is denying the engagement.

The Indiana Jones star, 65, first met the erstwhile Ally McBeal in 2002 and have been dating happily ever since. However, Harrison has two divorces under his belt, one of which cost him $100 million, so it's understandable that he might be a little hesitant to take a third trip down the aisle.

We're going to go ahead and hope that he's just putting the proposal on hold so he can film one more Indiana Jones movie before getting hitched. Wishful thinking, perhaps, but we're hoping all the same.

British singer Leona Lewis has said before that her boyfriend, Lou Al-Chamaa, is "the one" and that she hopes to marry him in the future, but she has also stated that she's still too young to be concerned with marriage and kids just yet. However, she was spotted with a suspicious sparkler on her ring finger when she was out on the town the other night, fueling the engagement rumors that were already running rampant.

Leona and Lou have been dating for six years, since Leona was just 17 years old, and she says, "Me and Lou are good friends and I think that's the important thing, that we're friends and that we have a laugh together." He supported her when she auditioned for X Factor, which is what propelled her to the super-stardom she now enjoys.

The couple currently live together in a flat in Hackney, and though her rep says the rumors absolutely aren't true, we're still wishing them happiness and good wishes.

Before we even get started, we want to urge you to take this piece of "news" with a grain of salt -- it sounds a lot like a publicity stunt. But, our job is to fill you in on the buzz, so here we go.

Rumors are flying about the possibility of Lindsay Lohan being engaged to her openly gay gal pal, DJ Samantha Ronson. In Cannes last week, the pair were said to have shared a passionate kiss at a party, although the infamous picture shows little more than a hug. And, there's the fact that Lindsay's mom and sister recently made a public statement that Lindsay was not a lesbian, although the family knows and likes Samantha.

However, sources are saying that LiLo is referring to herself as Lindsay Ronson, and she was spotted sporting this suspicious diamond ring on her engagement finger at Dolce & Gabbana party in Cannes:
we're never watching Mean Girls again. Got that, Lindsay? Never!

Actor/producer/director/legend Robert Redford has announced his engagement to his girlfriend, German artist Sibylle Szaggars. The two have been dating since 1996 and live on an eco-friendly ranch in Utah.

It's being reported that Redford's three children from his previous marriage have welcomed the news, but we can probably expect that to be the last of the news to trickle out about the actor's marriage plans. He's notorious for being fiercely private about his personal life -- the man kept the break-up of his first marriage a secret for nearly 10 years!

Redford, 71, did say this about Szaggars, who is 19 years younger: "We are engaged and very happy with that. Sibylle is my fiancee and that says everything, doesn't it?"

They might not be household names in your home, but Deepika Padukone and Ranbir Kapoor are new but major Bollywood stars, and they have announced their engagement. Or maybe they haven't.

Most sites are saying the engagement rumors are confirmed -- just one or two are saying it's a lie -- and it's actually not terribly recent news. Deepika stated that Ranbir actually proposed to her after their debut releases last November, and that she "happily said yes." She also said they had the blessings of their parents, so her dreams of becoming "Mrs. Kapoor and the leading lady of Bollywood" in the next five years might just come true.

Speaking of dreams come true, the couple's relationship sounds like just that. It was love at first sight, but they tried not to put too much pressure on their relationship so that the could give their love "time to grow." And, we feel confident that, should this wedding take place, it will be a spectacular event, so rest assured we'll keep you up to date!

We have to say, up front, that we love Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal -- they're just so cute! and charming! and nice looking! As in, they look like such nice people. And they're both pretty attractive, too.

Now we're hearing rumors that Jake may be getting ready to pop The Question, and we couldn't be happier. Friends of the couple told OK! magazine that Jake and Reese have "been talking marriage for a while. They'll be formally engaged any day now. They want to spend the rest of their lives together." The same friend has said that the couple are both fairly traditional and conservative, and that they won't live together until they are married.

We find that kind of charming, actually. Now we're just waiting to hear that they're ready to get married.

Reports are circulating that proud new parents Halle Berry and Gabriel Aubry are engaged. As a matter of fact, the rumors actually state that he proposed to her with his grandmother's engagement ring to show her how much she means to him and his family.

There's only one problem with the story -- she may be wearing a sparkler, but she's vowed never to marry again. Actually, she has said that she feels more married to Gabriel than she has felt to either of her two ex-husbands and doesn't see any reason to make the relationship official.

We think it's more likely that he gave her the ring as a symbol of commitment, but not necessarily as an engagement ring. They wouldn't be the only celebrity couple to abstain from becoming legally wed. Perhaps they, like Brad and Angelina, consider their child the most important bond they can share.
