Joel Madden and Nicole RichieJoel Madden asked Nicole Richie to marry him 10 times before she said yes. The Good Charlotte rocker has confessed his wife repeatedly spurned his proposals before finally agreeing to the knot with him in February 2010.

"My wife is pretty good at rejecting me. People don't know this but I asked her to marry me ten times before she actually said yes. I was asking every other Tuesday," he revealed in an interview during an appearance on an Australian radio show.

"What made that tenth one different? How did she break? What did you bring out that was different?" the radio host asked.

"I pulled out the kids! I said, 'Do you really wanna do this to these kids?' I'm just kidding. I'm passive aggressive," he answered.

The 33-year-old musician has two children, daughter Harlow, four, and two-year-old Sparrow, with Nicole, 30. Joel was recently announced as one of the four coaches on the Australian version of pop star search TV show The Voice.

Miley Cyrus and Liam HemsworthChris Hemsworth "can't see" his brother Liam getting engaged to Miley Cyrus in the near future.

The Hunger Games actor has been dating the former Hannah Montana star on and off for almost three years and while it was recently rumored they were set to tie the knot, Chris says it's very unlikely as they're not ready.

"They're like 21 or something ... I can't see that happening. You have to ask him about his relationship," the Thor star said.

And it seems Liam, 22, agrees with his older brother as he recently said he was too young to wed 19-year-old Miley: "Marriage and kids are way in the future for me. I'm young. It's not really on my mind at the moment - marriage, kids or anything."

Liam Hemsworth and Miley CyrusLiam Hemsworth is too young to get married.

The 22-year-old Hollywood hunk and his 19-year-old girlfriend Miley Cyrus were the subject of wedding rumors recently after the Hannah Montana beauty stepped out wearing what appeared to be an engagement ring but Liam says he won't consider marriage for some time yet.

"Marriage and kids are way in the future for me. I'm young. It's not really on my mind at the moment - marriage, kids or anything," he said.

The Hunger Games actor and Miley have been dating on and off since meeting on the set of The Last Song in 2009 and Liam is happy to be in a committed relationship because he finds it difficult to know what people's intentions are in Hollywood: "I like to surround myself with good people and good moral values. It's hard sometimes to work out in this town what people want from you - whether they just want to be friends or they really want something else from you."

Alec Baldwin and Hilaria ThomasAlec Baldwin has gotten engaged.

The 30 Rock star - who turns 54 on Tuesday - popped the question to girlfriend Hilaria Thomas at the weekend and the yoga instructor said yes. "Yes, it's true! Alec proposed to Hilaria this weekend and we're all excited for the newly engaged couple. Alec's birthday is tomorrow. Great way to celebrate!" the actor's representative told Us Weekly.

Alec and Hilaria, 28, have been a couple for almost a year and first appeared in public together at several bashes in New York in May 2011. Things had been getting more and more serious between Alec and Hilaria for months, and the actor recently revealed he was considering having children with her:

"Have I thought about having more kids? Oh sure, that would be great, that would be heaven, that would be fantastic... As my friend said to me, 'When you have children, typically in a second marriage, when you're older and you get married again to a woman who would have children, you must always remember that you make sure the children attend a college where the commencement ceremonies are held in a facility with a wheelchair accessible ramp.'"

Jamie Bell and Evan Rachel WoodJamie Bell and Evan Rachel Wood are rumored to have tied the knot.

The pair - who met on the set of Green Day's video for "When September Ends" in 2005 - have been photographed wearing rings on their wedding fingers, fueling speculation they are now husband and wife.

Evan 24, was pictured wearing a silver ring with a diamond while Billy Elliot star Jamie, 26, had a gold band on during a walk in Venice, California, on Saturday. A source told RadarOnline.com back in December that Jamie had started looking for rings and was planning to pop the question.

"He hasn't made a purchase yet, but he is starting to seriously look and has met with a few jewelers," an insider said at the time.

The couple split after just a year of dating and Evan went on to get engaged to rocker Marilyn Manson before reuniting with Jamie last summer. "Evan and Jamie were really young and just getting going in their careers when they first met and they just weren't ready. Now that they are older and both excelling in their professional lives, I think they feel ready to take their relationship to the next level," the insider added.

Miley Cyrus and Liam HemsworthMiley Cyrus is rumored to be engaged to Liam Hemsworth after being spotted wearing a diamond ring on her wedding ring finger.

The 19-year-old former Hannah Montana star has posted a picture of her manicure on Twitter - revealing a big rock parked on her left hand in the process.

The couple - who have been dating on-and-off for three years since meeting on the set of The Last Song, and have a puppy called Ziggy together - also attended Muhammad Ali's Celebrity Fight Night XIII in Phoenix, Arizona, on Saturday night, where Miley was once again wearing the jewel.

While one source tells US Weekly the ring is not an engagement ring, a second insider insists a wedding is definitely in the pipeline. "They're still keeping it a big secret, but they're seriously talking marriage. Liam is crazy about her, though he hasn't proposed formally yet," an insider said.

And the news would reportedly be well received by Miley's parents Billy Ray and Tish. "The whole family loves him. They know Miley's no angel, but she's much calmer with him in her life," the source said. A rep for Miley was unavailable for comment.

Will Kopelman and Drew BarrymoreDrew Barrymore wants to wed before she gives birth.

The 37-year-old Going the Distance actress - who is expecting her first child with fiancé Will Kopelman - reportedly wants to say "I Do" this summer before their little one arrives.

"She wants to marry Will fast. Not just because she's pregnant but because she loves him and wants to be married before the baby is born. Drew's checking out dresses that will fit her then," a source told Life&Style.

Having been previously been married to comedian Tom Green and British bar owner Jeremy Thomas, the former child star - who entered rehab aged just 13 - admits she is enjoying the "stability" of her relationship with Will: "It's just the best! We go on group trips and spend holidays together - there's a lot of love! And that is really nice and very different from the way I grew up, which was more unstable and inconsistent, with a lot of highs and lows. It's funny, when I was younger, I used to say I'd hate a flat line - that I want the ups and downs, the roller coaster. But I'm actually really enjoying the flat line."

Josh Lucas and his wifeSweet Home Alabama star Josh Lucas is married!

The 40-year-old actor tied the knot with long-term partner Jessica on Friday. His representative confirmed the happy news to website TooFab.com although no other details about the ceremony were revealed.

Josh announced their engagement in January after he had proposed following a frightening experience with a mountain lion while shooting a movie in Big Sur, California:

"As the week went on, the movie started shooting later and later and, on a Thursday night, we ended up getting home at around 3 o'clock in the morning. So my girlfriend at the time and I, luckily we both had flashlights, so we began the 20-minute hike up the hill. It was black - pitch black. So we get to the top and we get into that lovely little trailer and immediately she starts hyperventilating and just can't even breathe. And I'm like, 'Baby, what's wrong?' and she's like, 'I'm so scared, the most scared I've ever been in my life because I know that we are about to be attacked by a mountain lion.' And I'm like, 'Honey, this is Big Sur, there are no mountain lions. That night, I then go home at 4 o'clock in the morning and realize I don't have a flashlight. And as I'm going up, I get to the point where I realize I can see nothing...I hear, totally serious, two big breaths, and six feet above me, I see the very slight glint of the eyes of a huge [mountain lion] and I literally proceed to do what I had just read in the instructions. And I started screaming and yelling and literally being as crazy as I could be, it padded off and just slowly went away and I worked my way into the trailer and I got in and I decided at that moment that this woman was the woman for me."

Matt Bellamy and Kate HudsonKate Hudson has already married rocker Matt Bellamy, according to her mother Goldie Hawn.

The Overboard actress - who raised Kate with actor Kurt Russell - has hinted Kate and Matt, who have seven-month-old son Bingham together and have been engaged since April 2011, may have wed in secret.

"My kids are fantastic with their children, they have an amazing parental ethic and I'm very proud of them for that. When my daughter Kate married an English rock star [Matt Bellamy] it didn't worry me; all that matters that the relationship is a good one. What people do is not necessarily who they are. Kate hasn't picked up too many English mannerisms, she's held on to her identity quite well," she said.

Speaking last year, Something Borrowed beauty Kate said she and Matt - who began dating in 2010 - were in no rush to wed. "One thing at a time. We'll say hello to our new one and enjoy that for a while," she said at the time.

Ronnie MagroSnooki's Jersey Shore co-star Ronnie Magro believes she has "grown up."

The 24-year-old star used to be known for her drinking and hard partying ways, but having recently announced she was pregnant and engaged to Jionni LaValle, Ronnie believes she is now a very different person.

"It's a different Snooki. She's doing really good. She's not drinking. She's got her act together and I'm really happy for her. Over night she's like this wild, crazy Snooki and now she's pregnant and engaged and growing up," he said.

Not only has she given up drinking, but Ronnie claims Snooki - real name Nicole Polizzi - has become keen on healthy eating: "She said she's feeling good. Not too much morning sickness. She's actually eating healthy. The fact that she likes to have a good time has nothing to do with what kind of parent she's going to be. It's her life and whatever's going to make her happy at the end of the day."
