Hook Ups

Gina Lollobrigida, who back in the day was dubbed the most beautiful woman in the world, has confirmed that she's marrying Spanish real estate entrepreneur Javier Rigau Rafols.

Here's the most delicious part of the story -- they've been a couple for 22 years. They started dating when she was 57 and he was 23. In fact, in the picture you see on the right, shot in 2001, Javier was identified as Gina's son!

Sorry guys but Jaime Pressly's about to be off the market for good.

The "My Name is Earl" stunner announced her engagement to boyfriend DJ Eric Cubiche, who popped the question over the weekend. Pressly tells "EXTRA" what Eric said during the proposal. "I picked this thing up the other day and I wasn't sure if it would fit or not, so I went 'oh let me see' and I went 'Oooooohhh!' and I freaked out ... it fit perfectly."

Though the proposal came as a surprise, the two designed the ring a while back and the setting was less-than-romantic. "We've been really good friends for nine years, it wasn't the huge candlelit dinner thing," says Pressly. "It's not really me anyway, I'm more practical."

In case you're wondering, the ring sure is sparkly and looks like the real deal ... though we're not diamond professionals.

A source tells TMZ that Brown came into the hip Le Bra Lingerie boutique in West Hollywood on Saturday and was gushing about her impending birth.

Brown, who has a 7-year-old daughter from a previous relationship, is a frequent shopper at the store and admitted the pregnancy had her feeling tired. Brown added that she was concerned she may be carrying twins since, she noted, they run in Murphy's family.

While on her shopping spree, Melanie picked up nearly $5,000 worth of Eres lingerie for herself and about $300 worth of La Perla men's undershirts and underwear for Eddie.

In April, Murphy's divorce from his ex-wife Nicole became final. The "Daddy Day Care" star has five children with Nicole and another son from a previous relationship.

Murphy's rep told TMZ "We do not comment on Mr. Murphy's personal life."

Calls to Brown's rep were not immediately returned.

Simpson Number Two and The Duchess ducked their heads as they weaved their way through paparazzi outside the celeb eatery. Ashlee is currently residing in London, starring in the musical "Chicago." Fergie is there, well, probably because that's where her bridge goes down. Whatever that means.

It's pretty common to see Affleck and Damon or Oprah and Gayle ... but Fergie and Ashlee?

Drew Barrymore is still going strong with her longtime boyfriend, Strokes drummer Fabrizio Moretti.

The hipster duo where spotted walking through Soho on Saturday looking like quite the happy couple.

And it seems Drew can't claim she's "never been kissed" anymore, as Fab planted one on her when they stopped inside a local art gallery.

Drew and Fabrizio are probably the only thing cooler than a New York autumn afternoon.

Back together in New York after jetting hither and thither for several weeks, just-in-bloom lovebirds Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minillo stepped out onto the town and slipped into ultra-hot celeb-boîte TenJune last night.

When they emerged a few hours later, Minillo appeared to need the steady hand of her beau Nick as they made their way back to their vehicular transport, as well as that of a friend. With a wide-eyed stare and an almost helpless grin, she gingerly found her pumpkin/SUV which took the MTV mistress home.

Could her somewhat delirious condition been brought on by a new love song that Nick, according to PerezHilton.com, sang to her at his concert earlier in the evening? Regardless of its cause, there's little doubt that Miss Minnillo went away purring blissfully into the night.

It keeps getting more interesting on "Dancing With The Stars." Yesterday, contestant Sara Evans announced that she quit the hit ABC show and has filed for divorce from her husband. Citing the need "to give her family her full attention at this difficult time," Evans has left the dancing competition even though she hadn't yet been booted off. It's just the latest spicy turn for the show -- contestant Mario Lopez and his partner have been much-rumored to be taking their dance moves off the floor and into the bedroom, and recently-disposed-of Willa Ford and her dancemate Maxim were another buzzed-about couple.

Meanwhile, it seems that "Dancing" judge Carrie Ann Inaba is tango-ing with the enemy – well, if not the enemy exactly, then the competition. People reports that Inaba has been dating dancer Artem Chigvintsey, one of the professionals on Fox's "So You Think You Can Dance," for eight months, though the relationship only became public after the two were spotted getting cozy after the Wednesday night elimination show.

The former "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" star's been plagued with rumors she stole her now-boyfriend, Olympic skater Lloyd Eisler, from his then-wife Marcia O'Brien while the two were partners on the FOX reality show "Skating with Celebrities."

"You can't control what the media chooses to put out there and say," Swanson told Tyra Banks, "We taped the show back in August of last year and then it didn't air till February. Everybody thought all this stuff was happening and the scandal was happening at the same time and it just wasn't."

Though both Swanson and Eisler deny any affair took place, Eisler's ex-wife, who was pregnant at the time, told a different story to Dr. Keith Ablow a month ago. She calls their claims, "a complete lie," adding, "I have e-mails which he sent me where he admits to when they started sleeping together, how many times they had slept together. I went through a series of STD testing given the fact that I was pregnant."

Swanson is pregnant with Eisler's child, due in on Valentine's Day. The full interview with the two airs tomorrow on "The Tyra Banks Show."

Brody Jenner is making the rounds with all of Hollywood's young hotties. Who's the beauty de jour? None other than his ex-girlfriend Kristin Cavallari's nemesis Lauren Conrad. Brody and Conrad were caught last night at Mel's Diner in Los Angeles cuddling up.

Reports have been swirling around that Brody and Kristin are both hanging on to hopes of reuniting. If that's the case, then this next twist in the true-life soap opera is almost a guarantee that reunion won't occur.

Kristin and L.C.'s rivalry goes back to their days on MTV's "Laguna Beach". Here's the recap: Kristin stole L.C.'s then-boyfriend Stephen Coletti and the girls haven't gotten along since. Is this Lauren's way to get back at Kristin or is this an attempt by Brody to get Kristin's attention?

Guess we'll all have to sit back and watch the drama unfold.

This time Hilton and the tattoo clad drummer were spotted leaving the popular paparazzi hangout Mr. Chow on Wednesday evening after grabbing a bite to eat together.

But with their "innocent relationship" continuing to blossom, and with Shanna seemingly powerless to stop it, could a second late-night smack down be in the works? We'll just have to wait and see!

Diane Sawyer skipped out on a party thrown for Chris Cuomo, Sam Champion and other "Good Morning America" staffers last Friday -- and a source says that it's a sure sign that the news diva is planning on leaving the show soon.

Just as the competition heats up with "Today" after Meredith Vieira's arrival, a Sawyer sayonara could be a difficult blow to the ABC morning property. "The staff took Diane's absence as a clear message she is leaving the show," says a source to Rush & Molloy, "and is slowly starting to separate herself from it." Sawyer, say the columnists, had just arrived from interviewing Mel Gibson in his first post-DUI sit-down.

But an ABC rep dismisses any notion of Diane leaving: "She was sick in bed. She called [ABC News chief] David Westin and ['GMA' producer] Jim Murphy to see if she should still come. They urged her stay home."

meras spotted Travis Barker and Paris Hilton in the midst of a seemingly serious conversation inside of PURE nightclub in Las Vegas Friday night. The pair have been spotted together frequently lately, and Paris recently had a run-in with Travis' estranged wife, Shanna Moakler.

Paris was in Sin City for the weekend to celebrate her sister Nicky's 23rd birthday. The sisters dined at Social House -- a sushi restaurant above Tangerine at the Treasure Island hotel -- on Friday night with DJ AM, Kevin Connolly and Travis Barker, among others. The group then walked the red carpet at Tangerine, but Paris didn't stop for interviews. Travis, however, did.

He told "EXTRA's" Carlos Diaz that he hasn't spoken to Paris or Shanna since the incident. "I've been broken," he said, referring to the sling around his arm. "I've been dealing with my arm and I'm finding out people have been beefing and I have no clue."

Once inside Tangerine, Paris and Travis were spotted together in the VIP section, but they each left separately after a short time to go to PURE. That's where photogs caught the pair having a conversation that looked a little more serious than your usual club dialogue.

After her split from Nick Lachey, Jessica Simpson has been romantically connected to a handful of men including John Mayer and Maroon 5's Adam Levine -- but Jess doesn't seem to mind.

"I'm just used to it by now, it's just kind of a part of my life," she tells a reporter while promoting her new film "Employee of the Month," adding, "Every guy that gets within 5 feet of me is automatically linked to me."

Dane Cook, who knows a thing or two about being linked to the blonde vixen, jokingly adds, "Yeah, she's been my wife for 2 years now."

Just this week, Page Six spies spotted the "Employee" co-stars "whispering into each other's ears" and added that Dane "kept coming back to her every time he was pulled away." Simpson went home with another man though -- her hairdresser Ken Paves.

"Employee of the Month" opens today.

What happened to Danny and Melinda from "The Real World"?

Danny and Melinda are still going strong, Carissa. They are enjoying their engagement and living together in Boston. While they decided to air their proposal on MTV for the world to see, Danny doesn't seem to care for the idea of broadcasting their wedding or their lives after the ceremony. (And with the whole MTV curse, who can blame him? Shanna and Travis, Carmen and Dave, Nick and Jess...)

If you're craving more MTV reality, make sure to tune in on Thursday, Oct. 12 when the "Real World/Road Rules Challenge: The Duel" makes its debut.

According to Carter, Paris forced the situation after she allegedly cheated on him with her "House of Wax" co-star Chad Michael Murray. When asked if Murray was together with his ex-wife Sophia Bush at the time, Nick promptly responded, "Yeah."

After repeated apologies to Ashlee, Nick explained that he never meant to "throw her under the bus in the whole entire situation." He wasn't as kind to Paris. "Paris and her are two different people and Ashlee is a good person from what I know ... and I'm not saying that Paris is a bad person, but I'm saying she's got to work her problems out."

Nick said the initial reason for his call was to apologize, telling Ryan "this was one of those things I wanted to keep under wraps ... and then my brother kind of let the cat out of the bag."

Hilary Duff and Joel Madden have been together for more than 2 years and the pop tart says there's a secret for keeping things spicy.

Duff tells Life & Style magazine that the two constantly leave each other "a lot of secret notes," to keep the flame alive. While we think passing notes is "So Yesterday," apparently it's considered cool for the "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous" even after graduating middle school.
