Engagement News for Fergie, New York

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Daytime, Music, Reality, Cable, NBC, Gossip

Despite turning down a proposal from George “Tailor Made” Weisgerber on the recent finale of her show, People is reporting that Tiffany “New York” Pollard recently had a change of heart.  After selecting George at the end of I Love New York 2’s second season, Pollard, 25, told her suitor she wanted to wait before agreeing to any nuptials.  Although he agreed to wait the requested 24-months, the attention-seeking lovesick Weisgerber, 32, decided to try again anyway.  Fortunately, it turns out the 2nd-time was a charm.  (Let’s just hope the same can be said of this engagement; New York’s season one betrothal only lasted a few months.)  Fans of the series can witness the awkward/romantic moment for themselves when I Love New York 2’s reunion special airs on January 6.

Meanwhile, another star familiar to the viewers of the cable channel has news of her own to celebrate.  Fergie, 2007’s It Girl, just became engaged to actor Josh Duhamel.  The Black Eyed Peas singer, 32, and star of Las Vegas, 35, have been together for three years.  The couple started dating shortly after she made an appearance on his NBC show.

Dancing’s Helio Castroneves No Longer Engaged

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, ABC, Dancing With The Stars, Gossip, Rumors

As if this Dancing With The Stars season didn’t have enough drama!

In less than one year, DWTS’ Julianne Hough has seen two weddings become dissolved and/or delayed.  Last season the sexy, blonde dancer had to deflect rumors of a possible romance between her and partner, speed skater Apolo Ohno.  Unfortunately, the ‘postponement’ of her own August nuptials didn’t help quiet the buzz much.

Now, Hough’s Season 5 partner is having betrothal problems of his own.  People has exclusively announced that Helio Castroneves’ wedding to Aliette Vazquez - which had already been ‘postponed’ due to his busy schedule - has now officially been called off.  While no one has (yet) blamed his fiery chemistry with Julianne for the cancellation, I’m sure many people will now be playing back their looooong smooch after yesterday’s quickstep performance.  (I have to admit, it made me a bit uncomfortable—and that was before I had heard the announcement.) 

Maybe Hough should be the one paired with the Wayne Newton-esque celebrity next year just to keep things safe.
