Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie: Inside the Proposal!

Nothing like calling a Jolie-Pitt family meeting for the announcement that the celebrity gossip world had longingly been waiting – and hoping – for. On a recent spring day, Brad Pitt gathered Maddox, 10, Pax, 8, Zahara, 7, Shiloh, 5, and twins Vivienne and Knox, 3, to present their mom with something. That would be a tablet-shaped diamond engagement ring, estimated at 16 carats and worth $500,000, and which he helped design with jeweler Robert Procop. “Angelina cried and smiled” at the proposal, a confidante says. Aww. The children, who had been eager for their parents to wed after seven years together, were equally overjoyed to see Brad and Angelina engaged . The source adds. “Everyone hugged once she put [the ring] on. She went around and showed it to each of the kids , one by one. It was magical.” As the world now knows, Jolie, 36, quietly debuted that long-awaited ring at an April 11 private viewing at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Procop and then Pitt’s manager confirmed the engagement days later. Now, “Angie considers herself bonded to Brad for life,” adds the source. Speaking of which … do you think they’ll last?

Jennifer Aniston: Happy With Justin Theroux, and For Brad Pitt!

Despite any bitterness you’d think would linger, Jennifer Aniston swears she has nothing but warm wishes for the engaged Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie . “Jen moved on a long time ago, and she is trying to just focus on her own happiness,” a source says of the actress, 43, who divorced Brad in 2005. “Jen is not a bitter person and she always wanted them to be happy .” Part of the reason for that is that Jen is happy and in love herself. Aniston has reason to celebrate herself: Next month marks her 1-year anniversary with boyfriend Justin Theroux, who she met while filming Wanderlust . “Jen spent many happy years with Brad and thinks their divorce was meant to be,” adds the source, noting that the two recently moved in together. “She is very happy with Justin – and that’s what she is focusing on right now.” And everybody lived happily ever after apparently … who’d have guessed! And what are Life & Style and In Touch going to devote covers to now? [Photo: WENN.com]

Melissa Etheridge to Tammy Lynn Michaels: You Put a Cigarette Out on Our KID!

Melissa Etheridge has filed legal documents claiming that her former domestic partner, Tammy Lynn Michaels, is responsible for all sorts of bad stuff. Namely accidentally burning one of their kids with a cigarette. In her EPIC dispute with Tammy, who is seeking a substantial bump in support from the $23,000 per month she gets now, wants the judge to order both her and Tammy to go smoke-free around their twins to prevent future burns. Melissa also claims Tammy has accused her of having no maternal instinct and therefore is against striking a 50/50 joint custody deal for their twins. Melissa says Tammy is adamant … she did not give birth to the children just to give them away. Melissa calls Tammy an “angry and vindictive” person. How angry and vindictive are we talking about here? Making matters worse, if that’s even possible, Etheridge says Michaels once sent her an email saying: “You have to support so many households because YOU BROKE SO MANY HOUSEHOLDS … If you had decided to have one ounce of integrity/honesty as a person or partner, you would NOT be in this predicament. Think about it.” “They aren’t leaving my care while you are on the road – a completely inappropriate place for 3-year-olds – not to mention you can’t track them, have no child care, and they were bit by dogs in the house last time you had them.” Again, there are bad celebrity breakups , and there is this.

Amanda Bynes Has Been "Lost" For Years, Friends Say

Amanda Bynes’ DUI arrest Friday has left those close to her scratching their heads. Yesterday, her dad denied she was drunk during the incident, in which she side-swiped a cop and ended up in jail on suspicion of DUI. Now friends are weighing in. “This DUI was definitely just a serious lapse in judgment,” a friend tells People . “She hit a wall personally and professionally [in ’08]. I think she’s been a little lost since.” Another source, who calls Bynes “a very sweet girl,” says, “[She] was raised in the industry, so she has kind of a twisted head space in terms of social groups.” But according to the 26-year-old’s father, Rick Bynes, his daughter doesn’t drink. He tells PEOPLE she was held in jail because “she was upset and very emotional.” Another source says Bynes “seemed fine to drive” when she left the Standard Hotel in W. Hollywood, where she is a regular and had dinner Thursday before her arrest. She had alcohol, but “never seemed drunk,” the source says. Bynes then went to Greystone Manor (where she’s also a regular), and was arrested after leaving there. After being released from jail, she went back to party again. Adds the source: “Bynes tried to come back to party [at the Standard] only hours after she was released from her DUI arrest,” but she is no longer welcome. Probably for the best. Whatever happened, time to dial it back. [Photo: WENN.com]

Ben Flajnik and Courtney Robertson are officially that couple. That couple goes out in public and posts photos of themselves in order to flaunt their relationship online … basically any couple in the social media era. Of course, they’re anything but a conventional pair. Just one week ago, Ben’s proposal to Courtney – and the dirty laundry that followed – aired on TV. Incredibly, despite a breakup since The Bachelor season finale , the two appear to have weathered the storm, and are now taking their romance public: “1st pic out in public,” the winemaker Tweeted with this pic. A witness who saw the pair out and about tells Us Weekly: “Saw Ben and Courtney dining with two other guests in the North Beach neighborhood of San Francisco. She was wearing her ring and they looked cozy.” Aww. Despite Ben kissing random chicks just last month and her overall psychosis on The Bachelor this season, things are looking up for the couple. The Bachelor host slash pimp Chris Harrison says that Courtney Robertson and Ben Flajnik just might last. What do you think? Do they stand a chance?

Jessica Simpson Baby Shower: Star-Studded, Special

Jessica Simpson is about to pop. On Sunday, in honor of that fact, the star was joined by more than 50 of her close friends and family, including her Texas family members and stars like Grey’s Anatomy ‘s Ellen Pompeo, Jess’ sister Ashlee and Jessica Alba, for a baby shower! Aside from the big names, it was a pretty standard soiree. “It was a kid friendly shower with many of her friends bringing babies,” a source says. “Jessica [Alba] brought her baby Haven and Ashlee brought Bronx.” Earlier this month, the singer/actress/designer confirmed to Elle (which features Jessica Simpson nude on its cover) that she is expecting a baby girl. Coming as no surprise, pink and yellow was the surrounding color theme of the day, with tube-shaped balloons and spring tulips throughout the venue. “She received tons of gifts mostly wrapped in pink boxes,” adds the source. “There were several books, stuffed toys and clothes among other items.” “She seemed completely ecstatic” an eyewitness added.

Source: Emily Maynard Asked to Be The Bachelorette

After Brad Womack famously selected no one in his first stint as The Bachelor , the Texas bar owner was brought back for a second go-around last winter. He got engaged to Emily Maynard, but that fizzled out before long. Now it’s Emily being sought by ABC to return for another stint on the reality franchise. In fact, the network has already asked her to be The Bachelorette, sources say, and despite her earlier lack of interest, “It’s basically a done deal.” Wow. Another source close to Emily Maynard , the single mom of six-year-old Ricki, tells Life & Style that while “she hasn’t signed the contract yet, she’s fully on board.” Since splitting with Brad in May after becoming engaged to him on The Bachelor season finale, the North Carolina product has been linked to various men. Jeremy Shockey of the NFL’s Carolina Panthers and Most Eligible Dallas cast member Matt Nordgren come to mind, though she has denied seriously dating either. Perhaps the allure of being The Bachelorette grew on her. “Emily is America’s sweetheart,” adds the source. “Fans will be thrilled! Everyone loved her.” True. If Emily doesn’t pan out, look for a castoff from Ben Flajnik’s season to fill the role ( The Bachelor spoilers we’ve read single out a few prospects). What do you think: Should Emily Maynard be The Bachelorette?

Drew Barrymore: Dating Will Kopelman, Ready to Have His Babies

Drew Barrymore is going strong with Will Kopelman, her beau of about six months. So strong, she’d like him to put a ring on it so she can have his children ASAP. The actress “is yearning to get married and have kids,” a source says. The insider says Kopelman, 34, has been thinking about marrying Drew , 36, and could pop the question “around the one-year mark of their dating” this winter. “He’s madly in love and knows she’s The One, but he just needs a bit more time,” another source dishes. Mmm hmm. You best move it before you lose it, W-Kop. The art consultant understands that he can’t wait that long. Adds the source, “If this were some twenty-something woman, well, there would be no rush.” That’s one way to look at it. Regarding kids, Drew is reportedly into the idea, the source says: “I could see her getting pregnant before they get married!” Well, that’s … great, we guess. We’re just glad they’re happy.
