Bobby Brown Gets Engaged
Bobby Brown proposed to his longtime girlfriend of nearly three years, Alicia Etheridge, on stage in Florida over the weekend.
Playing a show at the Funk Fest concert at Jacksonville's Metro Park on Friday night, according to Florida Times-Union, Brown was joined onstage by Etheridge with their 11-month-old son, Cassius, on hand. He then got on one knee and asked Etheridge, his manager, to marry him.
Speaking to the Florida Times-Union, fans said that the crowd went crazy when Brown popped the question. "We shouted, we screamed," Carol Pearsall told the paper. "We supported him." Her husband, Paul, added, "Hopefully he'll get it right this time."
Brown was very infamously married to R&B diva Whitney Houston for 15 years. The two have daughter, Bobbi Kristina, 17. Brown, who appeared on "Celebrity Fit Club," also has three other children from previous relationships.
While Brown has remained under the radar that last few years, Houston released an album last year, I Look to You. During the publicity tour, she spoke openly about her troubled relationship with Brown. "He was my drug," Houston, 46, said. "I didn't do anything without him. I wasn't getting high by myself. It was me and him together, and we were partners, and that's what my high was — him. He and I being together, and whatever we did, we did it together. No matter what, we did it together."

Sean Combs is a big deal, and he just launched an exclusive deal with Macy’s Department store to prove it. P. Diddy talked all about his new deal with the department store chain in the latest issue ofWomen’s Wear Daily.
“I got my start at Macy’s when I was 16, selling shirts and ties,” Combs said on Thursday. “To come full circle like this is a dream come true.
The nation’s biggest department store chain will begin selling Sean John sportswear exclusively in spring 2011. The exclusive collection will be available online at macys.com and in 400 Macy’s stores across the country.
“I am overwhelmed and humbled by the recognition from such an iconic American retailer as Macy’s and astounded by the opportunity,” Combs said in a press release.
Macy’s CEO Terry Lundgren told the New York Post that Sean John has “done more than $1 billion of business” with the store and “we plan to do a couple billion more.”
“When I launched the Sean John brand over 11 years ago, we created the tag line, ‘The Future of Fashion’ and today as we are announcing the partnership, I truly believe the future has arrived,” said Combs.
Heidi Klum and Seal got married for the sixth time
The couple renewed their vows Saturday at a Mexican beach town to mark their fifth wedding anniversary, people.com reports.
Family members and close friends watched as Klum and Seal - who have made renewing their vows a yearly tradition - remarry in Costa Careyes.
"It's our time – a lovely family time," Klum recently told Redbook of the family tradition. "It's about remembering this moment of love we gave to each other and reinforcing it."
According to usmagazine.com the night's theme was "brides and grooms." Guests were dressed as though they were about to take their vows alongside the happy couple and a minister was even on hand to conduct spontaneous vow renewals.
"They wanted it to feel like a real wedding, but still have a theme," a source told people.com.
After the nuptials, the newlyweds invited the 80-odd revelers to celebrate in a thatched hut decorated with chandeliers, candles and flowers.
But it wasn’t an adult-only event. Klum, 36, and Seal, 47, kept their four children close at hand the entire weekend.
"It's a great party, but for about an hour, we go off on our own down to a private beach," Seal told Redbook of the couple's yearly tradition.
"We sit there with the kids and read vows to each other as the sun sets. It's a very special moment to us.

Lawrence Taylor Arrested in Rape Investigation
NFL Hall of Famer and Dancing with the Stars alum Lawrence Taylor was arrested Thursday morning on suspicion of rape involving a 16-year-old runaway.
The former New York Giants linebacker was placed under arrest at the Holidome Hotel in Montebello, N.Y. An arraignment is scheduled at 4/3c and formal charges will be filed upon the completion of the investigation, a spokesman for the Ramapo, N.Y., Police Department said.
Taylor's attorney, Kenneth Gribetz, told The Associated Press that he is "confident" Taylor, 51, will be exonerated.
The Giants and NFL had no comment.
Taylor, who's had multiple run-ins with the law, led the Giants to Super Bowl titles in 1987 and 1991. A 10-time Pro Bowler, he was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1999.
He competed on Season 8 of Dancing with Edyta Sliwinska. They finished in seventh place.
