Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra: We’re Engaged! And Gorgeous!

Just about a month after the exciting news broke that  Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra were engaged , the hunky singer and the gorgeous actress accomplished two things on Saturday: They confirmed the huge development. They celebrated in a very special way with family and friends. “Future Mrs. Jonas. My heart. My love,” Jonas captioned the above snapshot on Instagram this morning. As you can see, it depicts the famous and beloved couple embracing, as Chopra places her hand (and massive engagement ring) on his chest.  The Quantico star, meanwhile, shared the same picture on her social media page and wrote along with it: “Taken.. With all my heart and soul.” These beautiful words were just the beginning, however. The confirmation from the celebrities came on the same day their families united for the first time to celebrate the soon-to-be husband and wife’s engagement in Chopra’s home country of India. And both Jonas and Chopra included many pictures from the unique party on their respective Instagram pages… “The only way to do this… with Family and God. Thank you all for your wishes and blessings,” wrote Chopra as a caption to the gallery of images we’ve posted above and below. The truly awesome photos featured Chopra and Jonas posing for another engagement shot, along with photographs taken while the two participated in a Hindu prayer ceremony. Fans have been curious about this relationship ever since the stars walked the red carpet together at the Met Gala last year. Speculation then ramped upto fevered pitch after People Magazine reported an engagement… … and the director of Chopra’s latest project Tweeted last month that the actress was out of his “Bharat” film with a thinly veiled reference to singer-actor Jonas. “Yes Priyanka Chopra is no more part of @Bharat_TheFilm & and the reason is very very special , she told us in the Nick of time about her decision and we are very happy for her,” Ali Abbas Zafar wrote, adding at the time: “Team Bharat wishes @priyankachopra loads of love & happiness for life.” Jonas, of course, rose to fame as a member of a boy band made up of him and two of his brothers. The group has since split, but Jonas has maintained his fame via a solo career and a few acting gigs. Chopra, meanwhile, is actually good friends with Meghan Markle and Serena Williams. She just wrapped up a leading role in the ABC drama Quantico, which marked her first starring role in American television. The actress was a a giant name in Bollywood prior to her job on this series. “So happy for the engagement of our son @nickjonas and we welcome @priyankachopra into our family with love and excitement,” wrote Kevin, Sr. on Instagram this week. As far as proposal details go? All we know for sure is that Jonas popped the big question back in July. “His friends and family have never seen him like this, and they’re all really excited for him. He’s definitely very serious about her,” an insider tells People. Well, yeah! We’d sure hope so! The two are set to get married! They have our very best wishes.

MTV VMAs Flashback: Ladies and Gentlemen… Kelly Clarkson!

Kelly Clarkson won American Idol in 2002. But she won the hearts, minds and, yes, even souls of music fans everywhere three years later. At the 2015 MTV Video Music Awards in Miami, the original Idol champion belted out what most people would probably say – even now, even all this time later – is her best track: Since U Been Gone. The song is more than just a female empowerment anthem. It is pop music at its finest: catchy, memorable, with a message to which many can relate and full of notes that only a select few artists can hit. Clarkson, of course, is one of those artists. She has a voice nearly unparalleled in this generation and, some could argue, in any generation. For this Video Music Awards performance, Clarkson brought every ounce of energy at her disposal, rocking out to the single while rain poured down all over her face and body and she mingled with folks in the crowd. It was, in every sense of the phrase, a true show stopper. It was the kind of performance that announced to the universe that a new superstar had truly arrived. (One who had almost platinum blonde hair at the time!) Since this time, of course, Clarkson has merely proved those predictions to be accurate. She has collected numerous VMAs and Grammy Awards and is as beloved as any solo artist out there. And the video featured here is, in many respects, where that all began. With the VMAs airing on Monday, August 20 on MTV at 8/7c, go back in time and relive this incredible footage now!

Nun Fires Perfect First Pitch Strike, Leaves Internet in Awe

It's official. In case there was any doubt before, all debate has now been put to rest: Sister Mary Jo Sobieck of Marian Catholic High School in Chicago is a better pitcher than 50 Cent. As proven in THIS CLIP , the rapper is on record as having thrown the worst first pitch in Major League Baseball history. So, in that sense, the perfect strike tossed by Sister Mary in the video featured here did not have a high bar to clear in order to be placed higher than 50 Cent's attempt many years ago. But this awe-inspiring nun didn't just head out to the mound on Saturday and barely manage to get the baseball over the plate. No. First, she did a little trick with the ball in her hand and then she threw what can just be described as an ideal 12-6 curveball, one that would have fooled even Aaron Judge or Mike Trout. It floated right down into the catcher's mitt in the heart of the strike zone when all was said, done and applauded. Sister Mary was called upon to make this ceremonial first pitch in Chicago, prior to yet another White Sox loss. They fell to the Royals by a score of 3-1 after the nun left the mound. With a record of 45-77, it's pretty clear the White Sox could use Mary Jo Sobieck on their roster. Maybe not as a starter. Her arm might lack the stamina to go six or seven innings. But as a late-inning reliever? Someone to come in for a batter or two and disrupt the opposing team's rhythm? Someone ordained by God, no less?!? Sign her up, Sox! And check out this footage now, readers! (And then click on the following link to compare this memorable first pitch to past first pitches . Who hurled it best?)

You’re Fired: Slizzard Reporter Backpedals After Viral Clip Exposes Her Acting Asinine Outside Comedy Club

Getty Image Local Philly Reporter Spits On Comedy Club Manager, Says She Was “Drugged” After Getting FIRED A Philadelphia news reporter is trying to explain herself after acting a damn fool on camera, going to jail and coming out unemployed. Colleen Campbelll was caught on video displaying bizarre behavior outside of a Philadelphia comedy club called Helium. From the video, the 28-year-old seems to have had some trouble with someone inside and was asked to step out. That’s when she started to go off on an officer outside, spewing curse words and daring him to do something. It then looks like she attempted to spit on someone’s face. Thats when the officer had enough and placed her under arrest. According to phillymag.com , Campbell assaulted the officer once again, after the camera cut off. Below is the clip of Colleen Campbell that was viewed over a million times. Wil Sylvince, who shot the clip says: About last night: this very obnoxious lady, who wasn’t drunk (nor high I think) was disturbing the show with her “loud whispering”. After 3 warnings and other customers were complaining she was asked to leave. When she got kicked out she assaulted (kicking, punching, and eye poking) 3 of the employees in bar area right outside the showroom and then outside she mock spit in the mangers face when a cop came. [protected-iframe id=”9253acd53f79484c740dd3e024bb54dc-568005-3215498″ info=”https://www.facebook.com/plugins/video.php?href=https2F2Fwilsylvince2F10155404738669600%2F&show_text=1&width=560″ width=”560″ height=”606″ frameborder=”0″ style=”border:none;overflow:hidden” scrolling=”no”] By the time she was home from her incident, she found out she was fired. Poor thang. Now Colleen tells Philly Mag that she was probably drugged. Hit the flip for her explanation. PM: The video of you outside Helium has been viewed more than 1 million times. People are pretty shocked by it. CC: That’s not me or how I talk or act or anything at all. I don’t know what to do. I feel ruined and embarrassed for me and my family. PM: I saw your Facebook post where you raised the possibility of having been drugged. Were they able to do any tests to see what might have been in your system? CC: No. The police told me that it would slow the process. But at the police station, they had trouble taking my blood pressure. It was so high. I was worked up. PM: Why would it have slowed the process? CC: The nurse [at the police station] said if I send you to the hospital it will really delay everything. I just wanted to get out of there. I was really worried about my job. She gave me something similar to a Benadryl. Then later I woke up and had a panic attack. I never thought to get any test done. PM: Why do you think you were drugged? CC: Everything was foggy. I do remember coming in to Helium. I do remember getting into an altercation there, but I don’t remember what it was about. I only had two drinks at Helium. PM: On Facebook, you said you’d had one drink. Were you drinking prior to the two drinks at Helium? CC: Yes, I was working at Devil’s Den. I bartend there. And then we went to Cantina for a margarita, and I had two shots. But that was an hour before. Then we went to Helium, waited in line, got our drinks. I don’t even remember going out to the lobby. I do remember getting into the cop car. PM: Is there anything you’d like to say to the cop and the other people you acted out against in that video? CC: I feel awful. That’s not me or how I speak or how I talk or how I was raised. I had to delete all my social media, because I’m getting threats. PM: Given that you had at least five drinks, do you think it’s possible that your body was just reacting to the alcohol in your bloodstream? I really don’t know. I don’t know what to think. I know my limits. I’m a bartender. I didn’t feel wasted walking in. Damn, she was gone! Do you think she’ll be getting her job back??
