In what might be the most awkward proposal in reality TV history, Chaz Bono popped the question to girlfriend Jennifer Ella ... without actually popping the question.

In a clip from the upcoming show "Being Chaz" ... he gives her the ring, without getting down one knee, on the top of the Space Needle in Seattle. Her dry reaction was simply, "Wow, it's gorgeous. Thank you so much."

Congratulations?

Michaele Salahi has a big, fat diamond ring on her wedding finger ... and her Journey boyfriend Neal Schon put it there ... but TMZ has learned she's definitely NOT engaged ... yet.

Sources close to Michaele tell us ... Neal dropped $15k on the diamond cross ring a few days ago as a "message of love."

In other words, she's one step closer to the piece of jewelry that REALLY matters ... but as they say, "close" only counts in horse-shoes and hand grenades.

Weston Cage and his wife Nikki Williams may have an incredibly screwed up relationship, but they're not willing to spill it on a new reality show.

We're told the fiery couple has turned down an offer to appear on VH1's "Relationship Rehab," a revamped version of "Celebrity Rehab," that deals with bad relationships instead of drugs and booze.

We're told Nikki isn't interested in airing their dirty laundry -- of which there is plenty -- and would rather leave the last four months -- which included two domestic violence incidents that resulted in their arrest (link, link) -- behind her.

Casting for the show is off to a rocky start ... Jonny Fairplay's ex was asked to appear on the show too -- and also turned it down.

There's always David Hasselhoff and Pamela Bach. They're always good for a laugh. 

PERSONALS
Separated 43-year-old man seeks woman willing to compete for his love on television. Please don't be a fan of '80s soft rock music. Ability to talk your way into highly-secure events you were not invited to is a plus.

Sources close to Tareq Salahi tell TMZ he is pitching a dating show to various networks, with the title ... "Seducing Salahi."

We're told the show would shoot at his winery in Virginia and would be of the "Flavor of Love" variety -- with 14 women competing for Tareq's affection.

According to our sources, several networks are interested ... so don't say we didn't warn you.

TMZ tracked down Bristol Palin's heckler -- the one who screamed, "Your mother's a whore!" at a West Hollywood bar last night, and he's not ashamed at all.

Stephen Hanks is a 47-year old L.A. consultant who would not say what he consults on. He did, however, tell us this was not a setup.
 
As for Hanks' thoughts on Bristol's comment -- jumping to what turns out to be the correct conclusion that he's gay -- he has more choice words for Sarah's little girl.

Here's a shocker -- the chick who ditched Hugh Hefner days before their wedding is now trying to shop her own reality show around town ... and even more shocking, there's actual interest.

TMZ has learned ... Crystal Harris already has meetings set up with a few different networks ... hoping to land a deal.

We're told the premise behind the show (beyond just the fact that she's hot) will focus on her struggle to find a career after burning the richest bridge she will ever have.

Did we mention that she's hot?

Former VH1 reality star Megan Hauserman is finally facing the music for driving drunk in Miami last year after pleading guilty to one count of DUI ... TMZ has learned.

Megan was also ordered to complete a DUI educational course and complete 100 hours of community service.
