Engaged! Justin Timberlake is said to be 'happier than ever' after proposing to girlfriend Jessica Biel
Adding to the ever-growing list of celebrities who are deciding to bring in the year 2012 with engagements is Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel, who are….you guessed it….engaged to be married.
'Justin's never been happier': Timberlake overjoyed after 'proposing to Jessica Biel on romantic break in the snow'. He is said to have proposed to girlfriend Jessica Biel just before Christmas in a romantic winter setting. And now friends have revealed that Justin Timberlake,30, has ‘never been happier’ following his decision to settle down with his girlfriend of four and a half years.
An insider told Us Weekly magazine that Justin ‘knew it was the right time to propose’, and decided to pop the question in the mountains during a pre-Christmas break in Jackson, Wyoming. The source added: ‘Justin knows how much she loves snowboarding and the mountains, so it was the perfect place.’
So in love: Justin is said to have known 'it was time to propose' to his girlfriend of four and a half years after the pair reunited after a three month split
Justin and Jessica,29, split for three months last year and sources close to the couple have said that marriage was on the cards after they got back together. A source told the magazine: ‘This was the basis for getting back together. When they reunited they had a conversation about taking the next step.’
The couple are said to have celebrated their engagement with their family and friends meeting up at Timberlake’s home in Big Sky, Montana. Justin and Jessica were also seen dining at a Thai restaurant in the resort called Lotus Pad and an onlooker said they were having a ‘good time’ with the happy couple ‘throwing back sake’ in celebration.
The Hollywood couple were first spotted together during a snowboarding break in January 2007 at the Sundance Film Festival in Utah. The pair were said to have met earlier in the month at the Golden Globe Awards that year shortly after Timberlake split from Cameron Diaz.

Reports suggest divorce was agreed upon weeks ago, but both parties wanted to be out of the country when papers were filed
A year after their fairy-tale wedding in India, it seems Katy Perry and Russell Brand won't be living happily ever after. Brand, 36, filed for divorce in Los Angeles on Friday, citing irreconcilable differences. "Sadly, Katy and I are ending our marriage," he said in a statement to PEOPLE. "I'll always adore her and I know we'll remain friends." The Superior Court filing, which lists Perry by her given name of Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson, does not list a date of separation.

The pair have been spotted without their wedding rings in recent days amid reports they spent the holidays apart, with Perry in Hawaii and Brand in the U.K. The California-born pop star, 27, and the British comedian-turned-actor began dating in 2009. Brand popped the question four months later, and they were married in October 2010 in a lavish ceremony – that included two elephants as well as acrobats and jugglers – at a luxury resort in northern India.

singer by her given name, Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson
In the early months of their marriage, the two were giddy in their compliments to each other. Perry called Brand her great man of God, while Brand said his spiritual and emotional connection to his bride made him "love everyone." In Redbook's April issue, Brand said he had been more than happy to give up his partying ways to settle down. "I think I was ready for it," he said. "If you're wild, like a wild animal, marriage won't contain you. I think that's how a lot of people get into trouble."
But in recent weeks, they faced a drumbeat of rumors of trouble in their marriage. Both laughed off the reports, with Brand telling Ellen DeGeneres earlier this month, "I am really happily married."
When Russell Brand announced on Dec. 30 that he was divorcing Katy Perry, it wasn't just their fans that were caught off guard. "I was shocked when I found out," a source who knows the couple tells PEOPLE. "I was really surprised that Russell filed for divorce so quickly – especially at Christmas time."
Continues the source: "I thought they would be together for a long time. Maybe not forever – but definitely not just 14 months." "They were always laughing," the source says. "They were very affectionate, always holding hands. They seemed like they were really in love."

Another source who spent time with Brand, 36, and Perry, 27, tells PEOPLE that both of them "took marriage very seriously." "These aren't people who give up," the second source says. "I always thought they would work on their marriage if they had trouble."

The stability of their marriage was called into question when Katy Perry and Russell Brand decided to spend Christmas 7,000 miles apart. And now it has been suggested the couple's separation over the festive period was because of a huge argument. The source added: 'They haven't split up just yet, but things are not good. The fighting is getting worse.' Katy, 27, was seen lapping up the fine weather in Hawaii with a group of friends while comedian Brand was seen in a pub in Cornwall, England.
The pair look content and happy as they walked hand in

The one and only Ryan Gosling, 31, surprised Eva Mendes, 37, by flying to Paris on Friday to spend the weekend with her. She's been in the City of Light filming her new movie, Holly Motors, and was "totally shocked" by her boyfriend's visit, a source tells Us Weekly.
"They were talking all the time so she had no hints that he was coming," another friend tells the magazine. "She was really homesick and missed him, even though she practically just left to shoot!"
The new couple's très romantique Parisian weekend involved a stroll through the famous Pere-Lachaise Cemetery, a tour of the Catacombs of Paris, dinner at Jules Verne on the second floor of the Eiffel Tower, and many tender hand-holding and hugging moments.
"They were holding hands and there was a lot of tenderness between them," an onlooker tells People.
Eva was one of the luckiest women in the world as she strolled through the streets of Paris and visited the Eiffel Tower cosied up to her man Ryan. Looking content and smitten with the actor, Eva is making many women green with envy as she continues to parade around with one of the sexiest men alive.
And as if that wasn't enough, The Notebook star carried a single red rose for his lady and looked like he didn't want to be anywhere else in the world. The pair dined at the Jules Verne restaurant on the second floor of the Eiffel Tower before taking a stroll. At one point the couple stopped and looked up at the majestic French landmark and Ryan put his arm around Eva and pulled her in for a hug.
They are starring in ‘Place Beyond the Pines’ together, but have been seen holding hands and enjoying several vacations together.Ryan and Eva were spotted kissing in L.A. last month. They continued their hand holding in the Charles de Gaulle airport on Sunday.

Dressed in a classic cream coat and dark boots, Eva bundled up for the cold winter weather but it seemed her romance was also keeping her warm. The 37-year-old actress seemed completely blissed out as she strolled through the Pere Lachaise Cemetery in Paris with Ryan. The couple looked like they had stepped from the pages of an advert during their hand-in-hand sightseeing trip.
She wore a camel-coloured trench coat, black hat, suede boots and pea green trousers during their afternoon out. He looked like a chic hipster in a navy peacoat and colourful scarf, scuffed shoes and black denim jeans, but had his right hand bandaged up. The two shared several intimate moments as they snuggled into one another while strolling around the graveyard, where Jim Morrison, Oscar Wilde, Honore de Balzac, Maria Callas, Isadora Duncan and Edith Piaf are buried.
Ryan Gosling: One of the sexiest man alive
People magazine's choice of Bradley Cooper over Ryan Gosling as "Sexiest Man Alive" drove Gosling's fans nuts. A swarm of Gosling's fans took to social network sites after the announcement last week in protest. In addition to an online petition asking People to admit its "huge mistake," a Facebook page titled "Pro-Gosling People Magazine Protest" allows fans to voice their feelings.
About a dozen Gosling fans stood in the rain before People magazine's office building on Sixth Avenue Thursday afternoon wearing masks bearing the actor's famous face. Among the protesters' signs were this one: "Ryan Gosling's dog has a Mohawk. Bradley Cooper doesn't even have a dog," the New York Daily News reported.
"It's grievously unfair to Ryan and his fans that he wasn't chosen as this year's sexiest man alive," a protester told the Daily News. "It also shows how out of touch People Magazine is with mainstream culture. If we can't trust People Magazine, then who can we trust?"
In addition to acting in several movies in recent months, the actor recently broke up a street fight in New York City, then said he was "embarrassed" by the attention he got for his heroics.
But the magazine is resolute in keeping Cooper on its cover, telling the News: "We stand by our man! Bradley Cooper is the whole package. He's gorgeous, talented, brainy, loves his mom, can cook up a storm and speaks fluent French! Who can argue with that?" True to the Hollywood adage, the show must go on.
Us weekly brings fresh news about Jennifer Lopez and Casper Smart who were caught by paparazzi while celebrating a hot Thanksgiving Day in Hawaii. Jennifer her new playmate maybe taking it to a new level: Smart has met JLO and Marc Anthony's kids Max and Emme.
Jennifer Lopez has been enjoying a romantic
vacation in Hawaii with new toyboy lover Casper Smart
The Latin diva was pictured while sipping a cocktail on a sunny beach in Kauai, Hawaii in company of her 24-year-old beau, Casper Smart. The sexy mom hired a cabana to enjoy more privacy. Even so, paparazzi still managed to take a few photos of her wearing nothing but a sexy bikini. Casper wasn’t less sexy, either. Chances are most ladies on the beach got out of breath when he took his shirt off. We know Marc Anthony did.
An onlooker agreed to provide Us reporters with more details about the couple. He told the press that the professional dancer is great with JLo’s twins, so he’s more than just a hot body. The kids seem to love him, too, because they enjoy his company. During a Thursday walk on the beach, Casper was seen playing with the three-year-old twins, twirling and doing flops with them.

Jennifer and Casper left on vacation after performing for the American Music Awards on Sunday. They also attended the post-AMAs bash in L.A where JLo was very lovesome with her three-week beau.
After the party, the two love birds took the twins Max and Emme and headed to Kauai, Hawaii in order to celebrate the arrival of the Thanksgiving Day. We do not know how long the two plan to stay in Hawaii, but by the looks of it, they are having a great time and they don’t intend to leave very soon.
The pop singer did not make any official declarations about her relationship with the pro dancer. Gossipers think their relationship will not last for too long because the Latin diva is 18 years older than Casper. In addition, JLo is still close to her ex-husband Marc Anthony because the two spend a lot of time together for the children’s sake. At the beginning of November, the two hooked up even though they had been separated from July 2011.
Backing her up: Casper performed alongside his new lady love at the AMAs
Casper, whose real-name is Beau Paul Smart, has tried to remain in the shadows, until today. As MailOnline has previously reported, he has had numerous run-ins with the law since 2004. Most of the charges have been minor motoring misdemeanors relating to either speeding or driving without a valid licence and failures to appear in court. In one case he was pulled over by police for speeding on his motorbike at more than 100mph.
But his most recent offence committed in February 2010 could potentially land him behind bars.The charge relates to an 'exhibition of speed' a section of the law more commonly known as street or drag racing. The dancer - who was rumored to have met the mother of two in May - pleaded no contest to the charge in March after an initial not guilty plea.
His bail was set at $26,000 - and he is yet to be sentenced, according to the court records. Smart is due in court to be sentenced by a judge in Los Angeles on January 5 next year and could face jail time as well as a stiff fine.
Kristin Cavallari has hit back at reports that she had a fling with Kourtney Kardashian's boyfriend Scott Disick. The former Dancing With The Stars contestant is also furious with the famous reality clan for not yet denying the claims.
The 24-year-old even went so far as to suggest that the family are staying quiet in order 'to keep the heat off Kim,' who is currently going through a divorce with husband Kris Humphries.
Kristin Cavallari isn't the cheating type -- despite what one tabloid mag wants its readers to believe.
'It's 100 percent not true,' she said on The Billy Bush Show yesterday. 'I just think, what convenient timing for them (Kardashians) with their show premiering next week.
Kourtney Kardashian put on a brave face yesterday
as reports emerged that her partner Scott
had an affair whilst the couple were on a break
'With everything that's going on for Kim, I feel like they're trying to take the heat off her.When there's a big story like that, they always call you and ask if you want to comment and clearly none of them denied it.'
She added that her on/off fiance and NFL player Jay Cutler was backing her. '(He) didn't believe (the report) for one second,' she said. The livid star said that the Kardashian's reluctance to speak out about the rumours was just plain rude. 'It's disrespectful to me and Jay,' she said. 'I think it just says a lot about their character.'
Today Kourtney's representation told the Mail Online that the story is not true. Yesterday Kourtney put on a brave face as the reports emerged that partner Scott had a fling with Kristin while the couple were on a break. The 32-year-old smiled as she posed with younger sister Khloe at a signing for their new book Dollhouse in New York City.
Kourtney's current boyfriend and father of her one-year-old son Mason was accused of 'hooking up' with Kristin in 2009 in a report published by American magazine Life&Style.
The fling is said to have occurred just before Kourtney fell pregnant. According to the insider, they first met up during a trip to Las Vegas. 'Scott and Kristin hooked up in Las Vegas during a time [February 2009] that he was on a break from Kourtney,' the source said.
Kourtney's representation told the Mail Online that the story 'is not true'.
Kristin did her date proud last night, after braving hellish LA traffic to escape the city and head north for the date. The 24 year old shrugged off the drama to attend the Marine Corps Ball in Temecula, California.
- Moore confirms split by releasing statement two months after allegations Kutcher cheated on her - Hints at his infidelity saying she is moving on because 'there are certain values and vows that I hold sacred' -Kutcher tweets he will always 'cherish' the time he spent with Demi and that marriage is 'the most difficult thing in the world' -Couple still following each other on Twitter and Demi's handle remains @mrskutcher
It's over: Demi Moore has filed for divorce from Ashton Kutcher, pictured together here at the January premiere of his movie No String Attached in Los Angeles
Demi Moore has announced she is ending her six year marriage to Ashton Kutcher. The 49-year-old actress said in a statement that she is filing for divorce with 'great sadness and a heavy heart'.
Hinting at Kutcher's infidelity, Demi said: 'As a woman, a mother and a wife, there are certain values and vows that I hold sacred, and it is in this spirit that I have chosen to move forward with my life'.
Moore added that it's a trying time for her and her family and asked for people to respect her privacy.
Immediately after the announcement, 33-year-old Ashton posted his own statement on Twitter.
He wrote: 'I will forever cherish the time I spent with Demi.
'Marriage is one of the most difficult things in the world and unfortunately sometimes they fail. Love and Light, AK.'
The pair are still following each other on Twitter in wake of the announcement and Demi's handle remains @mrskutcher - something she may now consider changing.
Despite their dignified statements, Demi is now gearing up to battle it out over their $290m fortune after enduring public humiliated because of his alleged infidelity. The Two And A Half Men star allegedly shared a night of passion with party girl Sara Leal, 22, at the Hard Rock Hotel in San Diego. Texas-born Leal sold her story on Kutcher weeks after the fling, which took place on Ashton and Demi's sixth wedding anniversary, September 24.

Demi scarily skinny
In the weeks that followed, Demi appeared to be suffering under the strain of her marriage breakdown, becoming gaunt and scarily skinny - reportedly dropping down to just 7st (98lbs) which given her height of 5ft 5in is considerably underweight. On Thursday, the actress -- who turned 49 the next day -- was photographed leaving a nail salon in L.A. looking thin and stressed out while revealing her protruding chest bones. Looks like the stress surrounding her alleged marriage drama with Ashton Kutcher is quickly aging the 48-year-old actress.
Demi and Ashton met with Kabbalah counsellors last
month in an apparent bid to heal their relationship
The couple were accompanied by some close friends along with their Kabbalah instructor Yehuda Berg and photos emerged of the pair sat around an outdoor fire. It was first time they were pictured together since news of Kutcher's alleged booze-fuelled one-night stand broke.
Moore and Kutcher wed in September 2005. The couple's relationship hit the headlines in recent months as rumours swirled about Kutcher's alleged infidelity. The Two And A Half Men star allegedly shared a night of passion with party girl Sara Leal, 22, at the Hard Rock Hotel in San Diego. Texas-born Leal sold her story on Kutcher weeks after the fling, which took place on Ashton and Demi's sixth wedding anniversary, September 24.
Moore, who was previously married to Bruce Willis, started dating Kutcher in 2003. They married two years later. In May last year Demi talked about wanting to start a family with Kutcher in an interview with Elle magazine - something that never came to pass. The actress has three daughter with her ex Willis - Rumer, 23, Scout, 20, and Tallulah 17.
Harper Seven is just like mum Victoria, even maintaining her signature look as the pair fly back to Los Angeles. The pint sized fashionista sported a brown baby-grow with a matching hairband.
The 4-month-old looks adorable in her
knitted dress, ribbed knit tights and
matching hair band
Baby Harper must have picked up some tips from her world famous mother during the trip as she worked it for the cameras.
Harper Seven’s style credentials have been on the rise all week with the 4-month-old showcasing a whole host of Bonpoint dresses complete with matching hair bands.
Best of all her dresses are a whole lot more affordable than mum’s, with a starting price of £39.
Award-winning designer and mum Victoria Beckham may be the one who’s actually dressing her, but it doesn’t stop Harper from having a signature look of her very own.
It’s much like having your own personal stylist on tap (one who’s also your mum and works for free because charging your baby for styling would just be weird).
Victoria has been in New York with her daughter for the past few days, picking up design awards, taking Harper Seven on designer shopping sprees and even treating her to dinner at celeb’ haunt Nobu.
Harper Seven in Bonpoint,
mum Victoria in her own SS12 collection
The designer (and baby stylist) is working on a range of childrenswear for her own fashion line, the self-titled ‘Victoria Beckham’ collection, to be launched next year.
Mrs Beckham appears keen to coordinate her daughter’s looks with her own - burgundy reds and chestnut browns being the order of today - while Harper looks set to follow in her mum’s very fashionable footsteps, whether she likes it or not.
Posh's mini-me has been spotted without her brown socks or tights in New York. Instead, the gorgeous baby - who was on a mummy-and-me day shopping in Manhattan - was resplendent in navy tights!
Harper is fast-becoming the most watched celeb tot in Hollywood – something Victoria seems happy to encourage – putting as much effort into dressing the 4-month-old as she does herself.
And of those tights - of course they were not just any old winter leg warmers but seemingly by designer brand Chloe... unless of course there had been a kerfuffle in the nappy change room at FAO Schwarz and Vicks had put another baby's (name-labelled) tights on Harper...
Victoria Beckham and daughter Harper dress designer for a trip to the airport
Despite wearing a figure-hugging own-label dress worth a whopping £1,395 plus knee-high Louboutin boots, there’s no question that Harper Beckham stole the limelight as the twosome made their way through Los Angeles airport.
Victoria has won the respect of the fashion world over the last couple of years with her very sporty SS12 collection said to be her best yet with legions of celebrity fans already eager to get their hands on it.
But however chic the pair of them look at the close of their New York trip, Harper Seven is CUTE - and a baby - so unarguably wins this latest fash’ off.
