Michael Vartan Engaged

Michael Vartan and Fiance Lauren Skaar

Michael Vartan, former star of TV’s hit show Alias, is soon to be hitched. The hunky actor, 41, is engaged to Lauren Skaar, who works in real estate. The two first met in the parking lot of a Whole Foods in LA. After only a year of dating, Vartan popped the question to Skaar two weeks ago in New York.

Vartan admits that he didn’t know when he realized Skaar was “the one,” but he’s 100% certain now. “I know that I know, and I’m sure that I’m sure,” he says. “It’s that thing people always say: ‘When you know, you’ll know.’ I never really understood what that meant, and I do now.” Vartan continues: “We’ve only known each other for a little more than a year, but I literally cannot imagine my life without her. It’s crazy. It’s wonderful.”

Despite his absolute resolve in their union, Vartan and Skaar are in no rush to tie the knot. The couple want to enjoy their engagement and see what happens from there. After all, if you know you’re going to spend the rest of your life with someone, what’s the rush in getting married? Just get the ring on her finger!

David Schwimmer Engaged

David Schwimmer and Zoe Buckman

David Schwimmer and Zoe Buckman

While David Schwimmer’s character Ross Geller made many a trip to the alter on Friends, this is Schwimmer’s first engagement. The former sitcom star has played the role of the perennial bachelor until now. And what did it take to steal the 43 year old goofball’s heart? Just a gorgeous British beauty named Zoe Buckman.

Schwimmer met the photographer Buckman, 24, in London while filming the British comedy Run Fatboy Run. He’s taken time off from acting to start his directing career, and lucky for Buckman he did! The pair have been together since 2007, recently living in Chicago while Schwimmer edits his latest movie, Trust starring Clive Owen.

This will be the first marriage for both, which is ironic considering how many times Schwimmer walked down the aisle on TV. Although the couple have yet to set a date, it is guaranteed to be a star-filled event. The nuptials will be like a mini Friends reunion with all five members of the cast sure to come along. We might have wanted Ross and Rachel to be together, but in reality this seems like a good match!

We have not received details on the engagement ring, but stay tuned…

Diamonds at the Oscars 2010 Red Carpet Bling

The Oscars

Oscar Statue

It’s that time of year again. The biggest award show on the planet has just finished and although the winners are basking in the glow of a gold statuette, we’re still focused on all the stunning jewelry that was on display. Every year, the bling gets better and better. This year was no exception, and the red carpet beauties opted for stylish and understated pieces to compliment their beautiful gowns.

The female oscar attendees stuck with their usual fare of white diamonds and platinum settings for their jewelry, but colored diamonds, onyx, emeralds and sapphires made appearances too. We take a closer look at some of our favorites of the night.

Kate Winslet’s platinum and yellow diamond pendent necklace, loaned from Tiffany & Co., was a particular favorite of the fashion police. She looked absolutely stunning (as usual!) with the necklace, totaling 19 carats, and complimentary bracelet. Beauty at any age was personified by Helen Mirren as she waltzed down the red carpet in a 125-carat diamond and platinum necklace, 9-carat diamond earrings, and a platinum and diamond cuff, designed by Chopard. But the big winner of the night, best actress Sandra Bullock, looked gorgeous in her diamond and platinum bracelets designed by celeb designer Neil Lane. Unlike most of the guests, she gets to keep them as they’re a part of her personal collection!
