Ian Ziering is engaged! People.com reports the Beverley Hills: 90210 star is engaged to Erin Kristine Ludwig, a nurse. Ziering confirmed the couple, who have been together since Labor Day 2009, are planning a spring wedding.
This will be the second marriage for the actor. He was married in 1997 to model-actress Nikki Schieler Ziering, that ended in divorce in 2002. Ziering has also appeared on Dancing With the Stars, dancing with Cheryl Burke in the show’s fourth season.
What is Simon Monjack thinking? The husband of late Brittany Murphy is hosting a launch party to celebrate the Brittany Murphy foundation, which is dedicated to arts education for children. Why do I think this is so bad? Usmagazine reports that Monjack is “suggesting” $1,000 contribution from individuals attending and $10,000 from corporations to attend the event to take place at the Saban Theatre in Beverly Hills.
The 32 year old actress was found dead in her home on December 20th. Toxicology reports could help determine the cause of the death. There have been suspicions around the death of Murphy and suspicions regarding her husband. Whether he was involved in anyway, this just seems incredibly tacky and inappropriate.
Actor Justin Mentell, who appeared on the TV show Boston Legal has died at age 27. People.com reports the cause of death was a one person car accident in rural Wisconsin, after Mentell reportedly crashed his jeep. Police reports show that he was not wearing a seat belt, and his car had gone down a steep embankment near Blanchardville, Wis., and hit two trees. The actor also starred in the film G-Force with Nicholas Cage.

The 2010 Miss America Pageant aired live last night from the Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino in Las Vegas. Newly engaged Katie Stam passed on her crown to 22 year old broadcast journalism student Caressa Cameron. The Miss Virginia contestant, who is a student at Virginia Commonwealth University, won the coveted crown along with a $50,000 scholarship for her year long reign as Miss America.
Cameron showed off her impressive singing skills, singing the Beyonce song “Listen” from Dreamgirls, and impressed the judges by her interview answer when asked about child obesity. “We need to get our kids back outside, playing with sticks in the street like I did when I was little.”
Miss California, Kristy Cavinder, is the first runner up and winner of a $25,000 scholarship, and will take over Cameron’s duties as queen if Cameron is deemed unfit throughout the year. The judges for the pageant included radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh, Vivica A. Fox, musician Dave Koz, American Idol’s Brooke White and Olympic gymnast Shawn Johnson. Mario Lopez hosted the event.
