"Pretty Little Liars" Star Is Engaged

Imeh Akpanudosen/Getty Images(LOS ANGELES) -- Pretty Little Liars star Ryan Merriman is officially off the market.

ABC News has confirmed that the actor, who turned 30 Wednesday, is engaged to Kristen McMullen. Merriman reportedly dropped to one knee and popped the question in New Zealand at the top of SkyCity on New Year’s Eve, just before a fireworks display began.

“I did it on the fly of the moment,” he told reporters Tuesday night at the premiere of his new movie 42, about Jackie Robinson. “Thank God it worked!”

Now, he’s looking forward to tying the knot, though he’s leaving the details to his future wife.

“I’d marry her on a beach. I don’t care. We could go to Vegas,” he continued. “[But] it’s her day.”

In 42, Merriman plays rightfielder Dixie Walker, who initially opposed Robinson’s entry into the major leagues.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt Are Engaged

Pascal Le Segretain/Getty Images for Cinema for Peace(LOS ANGELES) -- Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are engaged at last.

Pitt’s publicist confirmed the engagement to ABC News Friday saying “it is a promise for the future and their kids are very happy. There’s no date set at this time. Brad designed the ring.”

Earlier Friday, a representative for Beverly Hills jeweler Robert Procop told The Hollywood Reporter that he designed an engagement ring for Jolie, which she was seen wearing on April 11.

“I can confirm that, yes, Robert Procop did indeed design an engagement ring for Angelina Jolie, designed in collaboration with Brad Pitt,” the rep said.

The jeweler said that Pitt “had a specific vision for this ring, which he realized over a yearlong collaboration.”

“He wanted every aspect of  it to be perfect, so I was able to locate a diamond of the finest quality and cut it to an exact custom size and shape to suite Angelina’s hand,” Procop said. “Brad was always heavily involved, overseeing every aspect of the creative design evolution. The side diamonds are specially cut to encircle her finger. Each diamond is of the highest gem quality.”

Pitt, 48, and Jolie, 36, have been together since 2005 and repeatedly denied rumors that they’re heading to the altar. But this year, Pitt admitted that their six children are itching to see mom and dad get married.

“We’d actually like to,” he told The Hollywood Reporter when asked if he and Jolie had plans to marry. “It seems to mean more and more to our kids. We made this declaration some time ago that we weren’t going to do it till everyone can. But I don’t think we’ll be able to hold out. It means so much to my kids, and they ask a lot.”

Snooki Confirms Pregnancy, Engagement to Jionni LaValle

Kotinsky/Getty Images(NEW YORK) -- It’s official.  Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi is pregnant and engaged, and the breakout star of MTV’s Jersey Shore is vowing that her days of peeing on porches are over.

She also said she won’t film any Jersey Shore this summer.

In an interview with Us Weekly magazine, Polizzi said, “If anything, I’ll visit the shore.  I’m not living in that house being pregnant.  I don’t want to be one of those moms who’s pregnant in a club.  It’s disgusting.”

Polizzi, 24, and the unborn baby’s father, Jionni LaValle, also 24, ended weeks of speculation by opening up to the magazine about their news, discussing the baby’s gender, Polizzi’s morning sickness and weird food cravings, and how they plan to parent.

Polizzi had been denying the pregnancy rumors for weeks, and told the magazine she didn’t want to share the news before the end of her first trimester.

“I wanted to make sure the baby is OK.  Things can go wrong, like a miscarriage.  It was my business, and I wasn’t ready to tell,” she said.

Even though the baby wasn’t planned, she and LaValle said they were ecstatic when they found out, and went through five pregnancy tests to be sure.

But not everyone was as happy about her impending motherhood, she revealed.

“My dad was upset.  He said, ‘You have your whole life ahead of you.’  We didn’t talk for a week.  He came around eventually, and now he can’t wait for the baby.  My mom is so happy for me,” Polizzi told Us.

The pair are split on the gender of the baby -- he apparently wants a boy and she wants a girl.

“She wants a cheerleader, and I want an athlete,” LaValle said, according to the article.  “If it’s a girl, she is not dating until she is 18.”

To which Polizzi replied: “I’m letting her date.  I started dating at 13.”

The pair don’t plan to wed for at least another year to give Polizzi time to lose weight and for the baby to be part of the wedding.
