His Prerogative – to be a Groom (again)

Probably singing “My Prerogative,” during the proposal (just a crazy guess), singer Brown and Alicia Etheridge are going to make it official after a two-year engagement. The couple, who also have a young child together, will be tying the knot as part of a business-pleasure trip to Hawaii. Brown has a Father’s Day gig in Honolulu, Hawaii and is parlaying a walk down the aisle on June 15th as part of the trip.

Yes, they are getting M-A-R-R-I-E-D and that’s worth at least 9 points.

Hey, Jude Law – June’s Marrying Man of the Month

Jude Law, Academy Award-nominated actor and scandalous playboy, is engaged to Sienna Miller (again) after rekindling the relationship this past December on a Caribbean beach getaway. Readers of gossip magazines may recall that the two began their on-again, off-again relationship on the set of Alfie, co-starring in what turned out to be a real-life romantic comedy. Engaged the first time on Christmas Eve 2004, the two called it quits in 2006 when Law was caught nuzzling and more with the nanny of his children from a previous marriage.

Green Gets the Fox

Marrying Man of the Month has been busy keeping up with all the celebrity wedding and engagement news that has been buzzing about. Most recently, Us Weekly magazine reports that actress Megan Fox is engaged to her long-time, on-again-off-again boyfriend, Brian Austin Green of " Beverly Hills 90210" fame. The news has been confirmed by the actors’ reps and Fox teasingly told E! Entertainment News tonight that the two will marry when “the stars align.”

Palin Baby Daddy Making It Legit

Redemption and forgiveness, those are good old-fashioned family values -- values you would expect from a sound and solid Marrying Man of the Month. Apparently Bristol Palin, daughter of past VP candidate Sarah Palin, is applying these moirés of morality by taking back her baby-daddy, Levi Johnston after they'd been separated since the birth of their baby. You heard it here first (okay, maybe not first), but Levi is still our Marrying Man of the Month!

Marrying Man of the Month: It's Wills!

September has been a bit dry for celebrity bachelors signing up for the big M so we've decided to make our Marrying Man of the Month this time around, Prince William of Wales. "Is he" or "isn't he" has been the topic of conversation for years about when this heir to the British throne will finally settle down. After a courtship of more than 8 years, speculation about an engagement to his girlfriend, Kate Middleton, is reaching a frenzied pace with royal watchers (and even the rest of us). While there has been no official statement coming from the couple, the Queen or the House of Windsor, the gossip magazines and rumor mills are still churning full speed with the hopes that a royal wedding will soon occur. Britian's own online rag, "News of the World", has recently come out and said that the two will indeed wed in the summer of 2012 to put the spotlight on England right before the Queen's Jubilee and the Summer Olympics in London.

Humphries, Kardashian Tip Off Summer With NBA Nuptials

Kim Kardashian is officially off the market, but we all knew that would only be a matter of time since she’s been in full-on, time-to-get-engaged mode for a while. Her newly minted fiancé, Kris Humphries of NBA fame, popped the big question on May 18th after just 6 months of dating and plenty of PDA.

KISS Lothorio Quite Possibly Engaged

Hard to believe, but KISS bassist Gene Simmons may actually settle down and marry his long-time steady, Shannon Tweed. Reports from the Daily Mail are saying that the 61-year old rocker and confirmed player is finally ready to wed his girlfriend and mother of his two children after a 28 year relationship!

Paul McCartney's Ticket To Bride

Paul McCartney has a ‘Ticket to Bride,’ yeah; he’s got a ticket to bride! On Sunday, October 9, 2011, the former Beatle married heiress Nancy Shevell in a civil ceremony at Old Maryelbone Town Hall in London. This is Sir Paul’s third marriage, the first, ended sadly when his wife Linda died from breast cancer in 1998. The second ended scandalous in divorce from Heather Mills who slung plenty of mud and demanded a massive settlement.

Cool Couple Justin and Jessica Getting Married

An on-again, off-again Hollywood couple has decided to make it official . . . soon. According to reports, Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel, became engaged during the recent winter holidays and are planning a summer wedding. While you guys aren’t going to be impressed at all with the frilly bride-to-be details, like the rumored designer of her wedding dress or the history behind the vintage-looking engagement ring, there is one ‘cool dude’ aspect of the engagement to date – the pair became engaged in Jackson Hole, Wyoming while shredding up the slopes on snowboards. In our opinion, that sure beats popping the question to your girl wearing a stuffy suit in some fancy restaurant. That Jessica is one cool chick!

Marrying Man of the Month: Ryan Reynolds

Congratulations are in order on many levels for actor and now groom, Ryan Reynolds. Not only did he tie the knot with the lovely actress Blake Lively; perhaps, more impressively, he pulled off a celebrity wedding right under the nose of the unsuspecting paparattzi. The surprise ceremony took place on Sunday, September 7, 2012 at Boone Hall Plantation in Mt. Pleasant. Interestingly, this is the same location where “The Notebook” was filmed in 2004. It wasn’t until five days later that the two filed for a marriage license in Charleston and were legally married the next day, September 14th.

Hef is a Groom Again

Still chasing the girls like a young whippersnapper, the 88-year-old Hugh Heffner is once again set to tie the knot with his on-again, off-again girlfriend, Crystal Harris. This makes “The Hef” our Marrying Man of the Month, although we’re not entirely sure the nuptials will go off without a hitch. You see, Heffner and the 26-year-old playmate are engaged to each other for the second time around; the first engagement was broken off by the bolting bride-to-be just days before the wedding which was originally set for 2011. However, in recent months, Harris has moved back into the Playboy Mansion and the two have reportedly been spending more time together. Despite the 60+ year age disparity, Harris has mentioned in the past that “she is the one keeping up with Hef.” Sources confirm that the May-December romance will culminate with a wedding at the Playboy Mansion this New Year’s Eve with family and close friends in attendance. So, if Hef were to have a posse of groomsmen, what kind of groomsmen gifts do you think he’d give? Here are our top picks:

Marrying Men (and a Woman) of the Month

Spring and sprung and love is suddenly in the air! Engagement news has been confirmed for a couple of bachelors and a long-time super model too. Celebrity weddings just make our hearts go aflutter (insert sarcastic tone here), we can’t wait to see who’s wearing what and how over the top all the details go. Okay, we pretend that we don’t care about which stars are getting hitched, but really we do. When a male celebrity gets engaged, it reminds us regular Joes that getting married isn’t really that bad of a deal. Chances are the girl you’ve proposed to really loves you for you and not you’re a-list bank account. And, when a Sports Illustrated bikini supermodel gets married, we all just sigh a collective “what if.”
