Marilyn Manson, 43, is engaged to Seraphim Ward, 27, after 5-wk courtship

Posted: 16 Apr 2012 09:07 AM PDT

Every so often, even a freak needs some love and attention. Such is the case with Marilyn Manson, who has just gotten himself engaged for what seems like the millionth time. Just a few weeks ago, 43-year-old Marilyn was seen hanging out and sneaking off into an elevator with 25-year-old Lana del Ray (who may or may not be banging Axl Rose), and he’s already been engaged to Rose McGowan and Evan Rachel Wood with a short-lived marriage to Dita Von Teese somewhere in the middle. Honestly, he seems like quite the diva and must be hell to put up with on a long-term basis.

Now Marilyn has gotten himself engaged to Seraphim Ward after a five-week courtship. She’s a self-described “filmmaker” (hey, so am I after shooting a 5-minutes of iPhone footage this weekend), actress, and singer with a sketchily designed website that boasts all about her interest in the occult. According to her IMDb profile, Seraphim’s currently filming (as an actress) a movie called Speed Dragon, and she seems like a bit of a famewhore that’s looking for an instant career boost. Enter Prince Marilyn Charming, and now Seraphim’s friends have handily given an exclusive to Life & Style:

Marilyn Manson is off the market!

After just five weeks of dating, the 43-year-old rocker proposed to his 27-year-old girlfriend, actress and filmmaker Seraphim Ward, Thursday night, a friend of Seraphim’s tells Life & Style exclusively.

“Marilyn proposed with a family ring,” the friend tells Life & Style. “I think it was his grandmother’s. It’s Celtic, and Seraphim says it has a magical bonding to the receiver.”

“Seraphim is in a committed relationship and is over the moon about what her bright future holds with her partner,” her rep confirms to Life & Style.

Just a day ago, Seraphim tweeted a picture of what seems to be an engagement ring. Early this morning, she added, “I am still speechless and in shock!”

The couple, it seems, fell in love at first sight.

“They share an interest in the occult and have bonded fast,” the friend says, referring to Seraphim’s interest in making films about the paranormal. “He’s gotten her a house in the Hollywood Hills.”

Seraphim is currently filming her first movie as an actress, Speed Dragon, also starring Bai Ling.

Marilyn was previously married to Dita Von Teese for two years; they divorced in 2007. Before that he was engaged to Rose McGowan and later Evan Rachel Wood, whom he dated on and off since 2007 before breaking off the engagement in 2010.

Here’s a photo of the so-called “family ring” that Seraphim has tweeted with a follow-up message: “I am still speechless and in shock!” Okay. I can accept that these two are in lust and already think they’re eternal soulmates or some such nonsense, but what I can’t buy is the notion that this ring is a Manson(Warner)-family heirloom when the picture looks like it was snatched from an Amazon product page:

Anyway, I guess some congratulations (?) are in order. I hope these two are very happy together, and I hope that Marilyn at least has enough sense to get rid of this hideous mullet before the wedding.

Diane Kruger & Joshua Jackson are adorable, plus more Coachella pics

Posted: 16 Apr 2012 08:44 AM PDT

These are some more photos from Coachella, just because… you know, it's kind of dead around here, surprisingly enough. There are only so many posts we can do about Brangelina! So instead of beginning with the least worthy and most mock-able people, let's discuss Diane Kruger and Joshua Jackson, one of my favorite couples. Much like Kate Bosworth, Diane Kruger CARES about fashion. She cares about how she looks, even when she's just at a music festival. And much like The Bos, I find Diane’s Coachella look to be kind-of try-hard. So why doesn't it offend me like The Bos? Is it because I actually like Diane as a person? Because Diane is talented? Because Diane seems like a genuinely cool girl? No idea. All I know is that my reaction was "Aw… cute." I love the way Joshua lounges. He's adorable.

Here's Jared Leto. I don't get it. Ever.

Tallulah Willis, looking like she genuinely did not want to be photographed.

LEA MICHELE IS AT COACHELLA. LEA MICHELE IS POSING AT COACHELLA. EVERYONE NEEDS TO PAY ATTENTION TO LEA MICHELE.

Paris Hilton still exists. For real.

Emma Roberts and Chord Overstreet are back together. They wanted you to know that.

Angelina Jolie’s Pitt-designed engagement ring is worth more $1 million

Posted: 16 Apr 2012 08:07 AM PDT

I like the inside-the-media stories, especially in regards to celebrity/gossip media outlets. I enjoy trying to figure out what is and is not "worthy" of a "special edition" or a "double issue". What makes it on the cover of any given tabloid? How do they decide? Well, People Magazine's choices are always fascinating. Last week, their cover story was about that dude William Levy, who is competing on Dancing With the Stars. Levy must have a great publicist, because many outlets are really trying to make this "WHO?" nobody "happen". I hope that last week's People issue sold very poorly – and I think it did. Which explains why People's staff worked throughout the weekend to put together a "special edition" for Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's engagement. Like, when was the last time People put out a special edition days before the usual Wednesday release? I suspect the last time involved Prince William's engagement… or the royal wedding last year. So there's your comparison – Brad and Angelina are American royalty, at least according to People Magazine, and their engagement is worthy of a special edition.

When the time finally came for Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie to make a promise for their future, Pitt made sure to do it right.

“Brad had the vision” for the custom-cut engagement ring, Beverly Hills jeweler Procop tells PEOPLE in this week’s engagement special cover story. Check out the stunning sparkler – with diamonds set on a band of yellow gold – in a close-up photo.

An independent expert tells PEOPLE that the ring could weigh in at more than 10 carats total, with a price tag of $1 million.

Jolie, 36, quietly debuted the ring at a private event at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art on April 11.

After seven years and six kids together, the couple decided that they were ready to begin their next chapter together. “They’ve reached a stage where their family has jelled,” says a source who has spent time with them.

For much more on Brad and Angelina’s engagement, including wedding dress sketches from top bridal designers and an inside look at the couple’s relationship, pick up this week’s issue of PEOPLE.

[From People Magazine]

Yes, more photos of Angelina's ring have come out, and it's much different than I originally thought. From the side angle, I thought it was just one large emerald-cut diamond with maybe some smaller diamonds at the base. But this is one decent-sized "oblong-shaped" diamond, with smaller diamonds making a "tiered" effect. Procop told People Magazine that the surrounding diamonds are "ribbed" and weigh in at 10 carats – "The side diamonds are specially cut to encircle her finger. Each diamond is of the highest gem quality." As Procop said before, Brad worked on this ring for a YEAR. Good God. Procop continues, "Brad 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. Brad was always heavily involved, overseeing every aspect of the creative design evolution. Each diamond is of the highest gem quality."

And Angelina's ring costs more than the ring he designed for Jennifer Aniston (hers was reportedly worth $500,000). Although People is now saying Angelina's ring costs $1 million, I wouldn't be surprised if it was more than that, judging solely by the quality of diamonds used, plus all of the special effort Brad took in co-designing it. What I'm saying is that if (God forbid) Angelina ever auctioned this ring, it would go for much more than $1 million.

Kendall Jenner, 16, is in a bikini & photoshopped to look like Mila Kunis

Posted: 16 Apr 2012 07:35 AM PDT

The first time we saw Kendall Jenner, the second youngest Jenner/Kardashian, in a bikini photoshoot at the age of 14, I wanted to grab a towel and cover her up. She was posed way too provocatively for her age, in my opinion, and the mom in me got all faux concerned. (Kendall’s dad, Bruce Jenner, didn’t care though. He called those photos “hot.”) Then Kendall became a spokesmodel for an Australian bikini company at the age of 15. Now that Kendall is 16 she’s continuing to pursue her modeling career. She has some bikini photos in a French fashion magazine called Flavor. In some of these shots she looks like herself, but in others she’s photoshopped into this bizarre alien-looking Mila Kunis type. Here’s more:

Kendall Jenner may be only sweet sixteen but she already knows how to work the camera.

The Keeping Up with the Kardashians starlet looked significantly older than her years as she posed in a series of swimsuits for French fashion magazine, FLAVOR, and RadarOnline.com has the stunning shots.

The slender budding model donned several different designs for the shoot, which captured her striking beauty.

"I am soooo excited to show you guys these shots from my FLAVOR magazine shoot!!" Kendall wrote on her website.

"The pics were taken by the amazing Sinisha Nisevic at the famous Goldstein House in Beverly Hills!"

Kendall and her sister Kylie Jenner are eagerly following in the footsteps of their older siblings; Kim, Kourtney and Khloé Kardashian – all carefully crafted by momager Kris Jenner.

[From Radar Online]

Kris must be loving this. She has two daughters coming of age to step right up when Kim and Ko. are old news. They older Kardashians are quickly approaching their media expiration date so the timing is right. Kendall’s younger sister Kylie is 14 now and like Kendall she appears on their family’s reality show and on the red carpet. This is the Kardashian family business, it’s what they do. At least Kendall is naturally lovely without the apparent help of surgery, Botox or Photoshop, even though someone at this French magazine had a very heavy hand with it. Look at this photo, she looks like a gazelle. Her torso is stretched beyond belief.

LeAnn Rimes & Brandi Glanville celebrated Jake Cibrian’s b-day together

Posted: 16 Apr 2012 07:27 AM PDT

These are photos of LeAnn Rimes celebrating her boy's birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese. What's that, you say? LeAnn Rimes is Jake and Mason's step-mother and Jake's actual, biological mother was at the party too? That shocks me. Because the way LeAnn Rimes was photographed at this event, you'd think that it was HER event, and all about her and no one else. Yes, so Jake celebrated his birthday and LeAnn called the paps and they got lots of photos of LeAnn posing in her see-through dress (with no bra? Right?) and flipping her hair and squatting down with one of Eddie's sons and carrying presents and all of it. And then there were a couple of photos of Brandi Glanville leaving the birthday party alone. Remember what Brandi is wearing – LeAnn will be wearing it in a week.

I checked LeAnn's Twitter to see if she had gone overboard with the birthday tweets for "her boy". I was a little disappointed – she tweeted some photos of the birthday cake and stuff, but it wasn't wall-to-wall coverage. LeAnn did write, "He’s gonna be so spoiled. So many gifts from two households, grandparents, friends….omg….and we’re gonna have to put them all together!!! ". The Mail points out that a big group did arrive – it wasn't just Brandi, Eddie and LeAnn.

Also – next week is LeAnn and Eddie's one-year wedding anniversary. For real! It's felt like so much longer, hasn't it? LeAnn was tweeting about that too, writing: "I cannot believe a week from today Eddie and I will celebrate our one year anniversary. Big plans, full two week long celebration. Go big or go home is my way of thinking and we have so much to be thankful for. It’s nice to reflect on the joy and the obstacles you’ve overcome together, especially in your first year of marriage. We’re solid and passing with flying colors thus far I’m excited….if you can’t tell!" Oh… so that's why it feels like LeAnn has been more in-your-face then she usually is. She's preparing for a media blitz to celebrate her anniversary. It should be epic.

Pippa Middleton might be arrested in France after her friend waved his gun at a pap

Posted: 16 Apr 2012 05:20 AM PDT

Yesterday, we discussed Pippa Middleton's trip to Paris, where she was seen partying heavily, hanging out with friends and socializing with several eligible French dudes. At first the British papers were trying to make it sound like this is just Pippa's Parisian vacay, filled with accented, wealthy suitors all vying for her attention. But something took a turn for the worse. Pippa was photographed in a car with several men, and one of them had a gun. The dude was playing with the gun (real or fake, it is unknown), and he pointed it at one of the paparazzi. You can see those photos here, at The Sun. The Sun gleefully broke the (exclusive) story, and now they're claiming that Pippa might be arrested and charged with something.

PIPPA Middleton larks in a car with smirking pals as one terrifyingly aims a GUN. Prince William's sexy sister-in-law was last night facing a grilling by outraged cops over the antics in Paris — as it reels from a series of gun massacres across France.

Three male chums were with her in an Audi convertible. The driver took out the weapon and brandished it in broad daylight. He waved it in the air and pointed it at a photographer — whose snaps show the chilling moment the barrel of what looks like a semi-automatic stared straight down his lens.

Pippa, 27 — sister of future Queen Kate, 30 — is clearly seen in the front passenger seat.

Last night the Paris Judicial Police were poised to launch a probe — as a source revealed Pippa faces ARREST amid a gun clampdown. The Sun was told: "If the evidence points to her involvement, she will be prosecuted. Anybody involved in the illegal use of a handgun in public is liable to arrest and interrogation."

The source confirmed that if the gun was REAL, brandishing it in a public place is punishable by up to seven years' jail "for all parties involved".

Even if it was FAKE the maximum jail term is two years. The source said: "Certainly if you were in a car and knew somebody was using a gun to warn people off you'd be liable to arrest."

Last night the French photographer was "considering his options" over making a formal police complaint. Pippa was understood to have been in Paris for a weekend fancy dress party — weeks after three kids were among seven people shot dead in Toulouse.

A security source said: "Waving a weapon in public is not only illegal — it's incredibly stupid."

[From The Sun]

I've totally been warped by American gun laws and the particularly gun-friendly area in which I live – I mean, I've been in nice restaurants where I'm seated next to dudes who are locked, loaded, and holstered, sitting there eating their steak. So… I'm warped. Plus, my knowledge of French gun laws are minimal at best. I thought France was like the UK – as in, it's really difficult for the average person to get a handgun? Is that no longer the case? Best case scenario: Pippa's dude-friends are idiots who think they're "cool" for playing with a gun. Worst case scenario: Pippa thinks her idiot-friends are super-cool for playing with guns and pointing them at the paparazzi AND she gets arrested.

Kate Bosworth goes grungy, hippie-chic at Coachella: try-hard or cute?

Posted: 16 Apr 2012 04:20 AM PDT

There are 20-million new photos from Coachella, so just prepare yourselves. If it's dead today, we're going to be covering them, which is unfortunate because the celebrity photo-ops seem especially C-list this year. Like, Paris Hilton was photographed a lot. As was Vanessa Hudgens. In years past, some actual B-listers and an occasional A-lister made their way to Coachella where they pretended to be hippies for a few days then went back to their mansions. This year? The most photographed couple is definitely Kate Bosworth and her boyfriend Michael Polish. I don't know if photographers were just following them around all weekend, or if The Bos just has a sixth sense about where the paparazzi are and she just stands right in front of them until they bend to her famewhore will. I don't know. By the way, The Bos and Alexander Skarsgard were getting pap’d at Coachella at this time last year. I haven’t heard or seen anything about Alex being there this year – did The Bos get custody of the music festival in their breakup?

You know The Bos has a Twitter account, right? You can read her feed here – she's not at the LeAnn Rimes-level of self-perpetuating C-lister dramz, but there's something there. She retweets all of the photos Michael Polish takes of her. Yep. Like this:

Kate Bosworth on WhoSay

Sure. You know what, though? I respect The Bos's game more these days, now that she's with Michael Polish. She started up with Polish in a matter of weeks after Alex Skarsgard (allegedly) dumped her. She tried to play it like she dumped Alex, but… I never bought it. I do think there's a possibility she was screwing around on Alex with Polish, though – Polish directed her in Big Sur just before she and Alex broke up. Anyway, my point: The Bos's career is barely there, but she still holds on, clinging to scraps of relevancy. We all have an opinion on her, even if it's negative. And that's what she clings to. So… I salute her. She's hustling. I also think she's lip-injectin'.

Katy Perry debuts violet hair at Coachella: cute or trashy?

Posted: 16 Apr 2012 04:15 AM PDT

Over the weekend, Katy Perry was one of many celebrities to attend the Coachella Music Festival in Los Angeles, and she chose to use the event to show off her brand new hair color. However, the element of surprise was very important for some reason, so here’s Katy on Friday in two separate outfits as she made her way to her tour bus. In both instances, she’s covering her head under the guise of protecting herself from the rain, but let’s not fool ourselves into believing that because Katy could’ve easily found some lackey to hold an umbrella for her. She was really just hiding her hair because she wasn’t yet wearing one of her “adorable“ quirky outfits.

Now before we discuss her official Saturday concert-going outfit, here’s the big reveal on the violet-purple hair (with some new extensions too):

Katy Perry can’t seem find a hair color that suits her.

Perhaps that’s because she chooses unconventional shades, like the dark purple color she debuted at the Coachella Music Festival in Indio, Calif. over the weekend. The singer, 27, most recently rocked a bright blue hue.

In the past year alone, Perry has dyed her hair black, blonde and bubblegum pink. After Perry unveiled her cobalt coif in January 2012, her colorist Rita Hazan told Us Weekly: “She wanted to go this particular color blue for a few weeks now. Katy is the ideal client because she loves to be creative and unpredictable with her look.”

It’s been a year of change for Perry, whose husband Russell Brand filed for divorce in December 2011. The British comedian, 36, recently surrendered all rights to the $6.5 million Hollywood Hills home he shared with his ex-wife, according to a quitclaim deed. They purchased the sprawling seven-bedroom, nine-bathroom pad in June 2011.

[From Us Magazine]

Is it wrong to admit that I actually liked the blue hair better than this violet hue? At least blue played up Katy’s eyes a bit, but the dark purple seems to wash her out. Perhaps it’s the longer length that does so as well because I prefer her with a shorter, kickier hairstyle. At least we know this color and style won’t last long, for Katy doesn’t like to settle down with just one look. The purple is much better than the recent pink though.

As far as Katy’s outfit goes, she tweeted that “Today’s lewk is sponsored by courtney love, virgin suicides & fern gully #nymph.” Nice quirky misspelling there, right? But the outfit itself — a transparent, flower-child like dress, leather lace-up boots, and very visible bra and granny panties underneath — isn’t very flattering at all. Much like Katy’s recent mint-green, butt-flashing number from Paris Fashion Week, this is a very “look at me” sort of outfit.

By the end of the evening on Saturday, Katy added a studded, black leather jacket to her ensemble.

Gerard Butler totally hooked up with a random brunette in a Coachella Porta-potty

Posted: 16 Apr 2012 04:12 AM PDT

Gerard Butler is at Coachella. He's 42 years old, he just got out of a light three-week Betty Ford stay a few months ago, and he's consistently putting himself in situations where he's surrounded by people who are A) drunk, B) coked-up and C) under the age of 30. Plus, I have my doubts about whether Gerard is really "sober" at this point – the tabloid reports are mixed. Some have him sober and partying, some have him "slurring and sweating profusely" while partying. And honestly, I'm still holding on to my theory that Gerard's addiction issues are not JUST of the drugs-and-alcohol variety. It wouldn't surprise me at all to learn that he could be a sex addict. So guess what kind of story I have for you this morning? Gerry probably boned a random in a Coachella Porta-Potty. I think that's the subtext here:

Gerard Butler, fresh out of rehab, has been spotted testing his willpower all over Coachella in Palm Springs this weekend. The Scottish heartthrob has remained sober at every festival soiree, but still can't seem to control his love for the ladies. At the A/X Armani Exchange and T-Mobile Neon Carnival on Saturday, Butler made no secret of his latest target. Instead of hiding among the throngs of partygoers on the packed dance floor, Butler led his mystery brunette out into the open air for a seductive slow dance in an empty patch of pavement.

"The two were grinding like they were at a middle school dance," says our spy. "He didn't seem to care who was watching."

After their spin, our spy watched Butler accompany his dance partner to the Porta-Potties before they returned to the carnival-themed bash, produced by Brent Bolthouse.

[From Page Six]

Right?!?! He totally boned the "mystery brunette" in the Porta-Potty. At the very least, he got a beej (ugh). And we're referring to her a "mystery brunette" because Gerard probably didn't care enough to learn her name. Gross. I'm SO over Gerry. If he wants to come out and talk honestly about his addictions – including sex addiction! – then I'll listen. But boning girls in a Porta-Potty? For God's sake. YOU ARE RICH AND FAMOUS. Take her to a motel, for the love of God.

Oh, and Gerard's maybe-probably lover Lindsay Lohan is at Coachella too. She probably brought her own Porta-Potty for her bidness. GROSS. It looks like Lohan and Butler were at several of the same events – meaning they probably hooked up. Again.

Are either of these girls the "mystery brunette"? Or is those just his friends/assistants?

Lindsay Lohan wasn’t a cracked-out mess at Coachella, surprised?

Posted: 16 Apr 2012 04:12 AM PDT

Lindsay Lohan was at Coachella, of course. Because she's completely sober and law-abiding and what's the best way to celebrate the end to your formal probation than a music festival soaked with alcohol, cocaine and marijuana? And men, of course. LL was spotted in the company of several "mystery men" – I'm barely paying attention to them. I'm assuming she's "working" the festival, and that she has her own sexy Porta-Potty in which she conducts her business. TMZ has more from Team Lohan about why she’s there:

Lindsay Lohan is telling friends she doesn’t feel she did anything wrong by going to Coachella this weekend — because the judge in her probation case told her to avoid clubs … and Coachella doesn’t qualify.

Our sources tell us, Lindsay feels she didn’t thumb her nose at Judge Stephanie Sautner, because Coachella is really just a gigantic concert and she was just there for the music.

We’re told Lindsay went to a few different events during the weekend and was very conscious lots of people were whispering about her — specifically, that she was in the danger zone by even showing up. The way she feels … she’s gone to Coachella for the last 4 or 5 years so she didn’t think this year was a big deal.

Lindsay insists she didn’t have a drop of alcohol during the weekend — she feels she can control herself, even in a situation filled with temptation.

Lindsay is currently under investigation for allegedly assaulting a woman at a hotel bar, but Lindsay claims she wasn’t even out that night.

[From TMZ]

Whatever. “…She’s gone to Coachella for the last 4 or 5 years so she didn’t think this year was a big deal…” Of course. Because LL’s last five years have been GREAT. Why wouldn’t she repeat the pattern?

But I have to give the Cracken some credit – in many of these photos, she looks okay and reasonably sober. Her face is not bloated, her lips are… well, they're still jacked, but I don't think she got fresh injections before the festival. The ginger hair color is looking better too – less pink. She might have gotten the color freshened up. As for her outfit – what else was she going to wear, people? It's a glorified tank top, which she's wearing as a dress. I'm guessing she's not wearing a bra… or underwear. Those booties are hideous too.

My favorite photos are the ones where she's strutting through the grass like it's a catwalk. Never change, Cracken.
