Kevin Jonas and Danielle DeleasaSorry, ladies. There’s one less Jonas Brother to choose from now.

Earlier today, , the oldest of the trio, officially became a groom-to-be. After a long flight to New Jersey from Vancouver, BC (where he was on stage), the musician proposed to his girlfriend - on bended knee! - this morning.

“It was tough performing last night, knowing that I was going to ask the biggest question in my life to the most amazing girl in the world,” the 22-year-old told People magazine. Fortunately, he received an enthusiastic response. “She said yes, yes, yes like 500 times super fast in a row,” Jonas said.

Michael Jackson

“If you think you know everything there is to know about , you’re wrong.” These were the words of Jennifer Bergstrom, vice president of Simon Spotlight Entertainment. This is the company that’s behind Unmasked: The Final Years of Michael Jackson.

The man hasn’t been buried yet, and already there’s a new book on the way. Bergstrom’s comments continue, “Startling new information…will make this book the definitive biography of the most iconic performer of our time.”

You see, the publishing industry can’t afford to waste any time - many more authors are no doubt writing furiously this very moment. Author Ian Halperin is behind this particular book, which is scheduled for publication in July. This is surely only the start of an industry cavalcade that will include many more volumes about the life and times of the King of Pop.

Catcher in the Rye

The Swedish author who penned a sequel to J.D. Salinger’s The Catcher in the Rye received a court ruling Wednesday that prevents him from publishing the book Stateside. The court judged that the book mirrors Salinger’s far too closely.

The novel, 60 Years Later: Coming Through the Rye, according to the judge, has “taken well more from ‘Catcher,’ in both substance and style, than is necessary.”

Originally, the book was scheduled for a late summer U.S. publishing schedule. It’s already been published in England, where no legal action against the tome has been taken.

Michael Jackson

UPDATE: has released the full contents of Michael Jackson’s will. In it, the King of Pop names mom Katherine as the primary caregiver for his kids. In case grandma can’t rise to the challenge, Jackson names longtime friend Diana Ross as the second choice to mother his brood of three. Jackson also states that he intentionally did not include Debbie Rowe (mother to at least two of the Jackson tots) in the document.

Despite claims made by Joe and Katherine Jackson that their son Michael died without a will, one has miraculously come to light. The Wall Street Journal has reported on the information this document contains…and things don’t look so great for dad .

According to WSJ, the will divides most of ’s assets between his three kids, mom Katherine Jackson and one or more charities. Dad Joe isn’t mentioned and doesn’t stand to inherit a thing from the King of Pop.

Michael Jackson and Farrah FawcettBilly Mays

For three sets of family, friends and huge contingents of fans, June 25 will be remembered as the beginning of a very dark time. In only three days, the lives of three very large personalities were cut short. The trio of tragedies will mark change in thee industries: music, advertising and television. That all of them passed at relatively young ages by our standards, and all went so quickly, has left those of us who remain in shock.

But these larger-than-life personalities are big enough to shine even once the lights are dimmed, even beyond the cold chill of death.

Michael JacksonFor years, speculation and suspicion have surrounded ’s two oldest children (Michael Joseph and Paris-Michael). Debbie Rowe, Jackson’s wife at the time, delivered the children after becoming impregnated via IVF. She has recently stepped forward to say she is, in fact, their biological mother - though she released custody and claim to these kids years ago in favor of pop Michael.

Yet, the question remains. If Debbie Rowe is the mother, who is the biological father? It seems unlikely, to say the least, that MJ himself could be the daddy (genetically speaking). The media has often speculated that Jackson’s DNA was not used to create the kids.

So…whose was?

Blake Lively in Cavalli

During her appearance at the opening of the New York Swarovski Crystallized Concept Store, Blake Lively admitted to selecting her own attire.

“It would probably help if I had a stylist, but I don’t. I enjoy the process. I enjoy scrolling through the shows or fashion magazines and picking looks straight from the runway. I also like to think of things I haven’t done yet. For example, I’ve never worn Cavalli but I saw this dress in a magazine and thought, I think I need to get in on this,” she told reporters.

While I admire that (and her supposed choice in Cavalli), I have a hard time believing that she’s just not crediting her stylist from the show. Call me cynical, but Lively’s name was unknown in the fashion world until Gossip Girl. Was it magic that suddenly gifted her with a great fashion sense?

Lady Gaga has a thing for outrageous hair

If Sarah Jessica Parker’s twins don’t make you feel better this week, perhaps the new hairdo atop Lady Gaga’s head will.

Lady Gaga was snapped up by the paparazzi in England today, leaving an AIDS charity event with a gigantic button that seemed entirely disproportional and illegal. Following up her hair bow and hair cone styles, the queen of (highly) questionable fashion was definitely aiming to outdo herself with this button hair look.
