Kim and Kanye Engaged
Kanye West has proposed to Kim Kardashian in predictably extravagant style with a 15 carat diamond ring.
Kanye flew Kim to San Francisco to celebrate her 33rd birthday on Monday night. Upon landing, he blindfolded her, and drove her to the AT&T Park baseball stadium which he had hired for $35,000.
With a fifty piece orchestra in the background playing Kim’s favourite song, Lana del Rey’s ‘Young and Beautiful,’ Kanye got down on one knee and popped the question.
‘Please Marry Me’ flashed up on the scoreboard as Kim’s friends and family joined the happy couple on the playing field as fireworks filled the sky.
The cushion-cut diamond ring, which Kanye designed himself, is estimated to be valued at an impressive $1.6 million.
The proposal was filmed for Keeping Up With the Kardashians, but Kanye has the last word on whether the footage can be used.
After the birth of their baby North four months ago, we’re super excited for Kimye’s latest milestone!
The Latest Royal Christening News
At 3pm today, British time, Prince George Alexander Louis will be christened by the Archbishop of Canterbury.
Details of the christening are slowly being leaked by the Palace, in the lead-up to this much anticipated event.
The christening will take place in the 16th century Royal Chapel of St James Palace, with Prince George wearing a replica of an intricate silk and lace gown that was worn by royals to their christenings since 1841.
The official photographer for the ceremony has been announced as snapper Jason Bell, who has taken photos of celebrities such as Paul McCartney, David Beckham and Johnny Depp. This is seen as Kate and William’s attempt to put their modern mark on this very traditional ceremony.
Only 60 people have been invited to attend, with the guest list including the Queen (of course!), Prince Phillip, Prince Harry and the proud grandparents Camilla and Charles.
Traditionally, royal christenings are held in Buckingham Palace, however St James Palace holds great significance for Prince William— it was his mother, Princess Diana’s, final resting place the night before she was buried. Kate was also confirmed into the Church of England in the same chapel a couple of years ago.
There will be six godparents, with friends of the royal couple expected to fill the roles.
Photographs of the ceremony will be released on Thursday.
And in some more exciting news, it is looking like Joh Bailey will tend to Princess Kate’s tresses on her next official visit to Australia.
While there is still no official confirmation of a Royal tour, it has been rumoured that Joh, who looked after Kate’s late mother-in-law Princess Diana’s locks on her last trip to Australia in 1996, has been locked in to work his magic while Kate and William are Down Under.
Of his time spent with Diana, Joh said “she was the most elegant and gracious woman you could have imagined…she was a lot of fun.”
William has hinted that little Prince George may also make the trip with his parents on their next visit.
We can’t wait to see what magic Joh will weave on the Princess’s mane!
Tully Reenters the Big Brother House
Evicted Big Brother contestant Tully snuck back into the house on last night’s episode, planting a kiss on Drew, whispering “I’m single” in his ear.
Of course, the whole nation found out before even Tully did that her girlfriend dumped her via twitter while Tully was still in the house, but this would have been the first the contestants had heard of it.
Adding to the intrigue of the moment, this week’s task is ‘Freeze and Release,’ which means that housemates must freeze in the midst of whatever they are doing, no matter what happens while they were frozen.
Of course when Tully kissed Drew, he was frozen— meaning he was completely unable to react!
While Tully was unpopular among the public for cheating on her partner with Drew during her stay in the house, sources close to the 25 year old say that she is “besotted” with 24 year old Drew.
We can’t wait to see if this romance flourishes outside the house!
