Heidi Klum Wants To Change Her Name

Emma Renda — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 22:14:33 +0000

I didn’t even know Seal had a last name, but apparently his wife Heidi Klum wants to adopt it as her own, according to TMZ.

After a four-year marriage, Klum submitted her request to the L.A. County Superior Court to change her surname to Samuel, making her Mrs. Seal Henry Olusegun Olumide Adelo Samuel-Klum.

It doesn’t have quite the same ring. The decision has not yet been signed, but will be officially revealed on Nov. 20.

This is the most serious Klum has ever gotten about a hubbie. In 1997, she married stylist Ric Pipino but they divorced in 2002. One year later, Klum was pregnant with the child of boyfriend Flavio Briatore. But the day she released the news of their lovechild, Briatore was caught on camera kissing Fiona Swarovski, the jewellery heiress.

Klum was already dating Seal before she even had Briatore’s child (Helene), and has since stressed that the biological father is not involved in her daughter’s life, but that Seal is the father figure. Together, the two have had two sons, Henry and Johan, who both go by Seal’s surname.

Sorry for any Jonas Brothers fans, but the eldest of the brothers is taken. Kevin Jonas is engaged to his girlfriend of almost two years, according to People.

On Wednesday, one third of the Jonas Brothers trio showed up to girlfriend Danielle Deleasa’s New Jersey home, got on one knee and asked her to marry him. “She said yes, yes, yes, like 500 times super fast in a row,” he told People.

The pair met in 2007 while their families were on a Bahamas vacation. At the time Deleasa, a former hairdresser, admits she didn’t even know who the Jonas Brothers were.

“It was tough performing last night, knowing that I was going to ask the biggest question in my life to the most amazing girl in the world,” Kevin said to the magazine. He arrived from an overnight flight to ask her to marry him.

Kevin’s parents released a statement sharing how thrilled they are with the news of their son’s engagement. “Our hearts are filled with joy today and we are happy to share with you that our son Kevin has asked Danielle for her hand in marriage.”

As of yet, a date has not been set for the marriage.

Kim Kardashian may have found her Mr. Right.

According to E! News, the reality star says that her boyfriend and football star Reggie Bush may be the one for her.

“I think I finally made the right choice. He’s just a really sweet, normal guy,” says Kardashian.

As for marriage, “we talk about it,” says Kardashian. “As soon as we’re done filming [Keeping Up with the Kardashians] I’m probably going to spend most of my time in New Orleans for a little bit until he’s done [with the NFL season].”

Kardashian performed with the Las Vegas Pussycat Dolls inside Pure Nightclub on Friday but her New Orleans running back beau could not be there for her performance. Fortunately for him, he got the next best thing – a sneak preview.

“I did iChat him and I had my costume on for his approval,” she says. “I did my whole dance for him when I was practicing last night. He thought it was so cute. He said, ‘Please videotape it so you can send it to me right after.’”

It’s official! Ellen DeGeneres has tied the knot with longtime girlfriend Portia de Rossi.

The pair swapped vows Saturday in front of family and friends at their Beverly Hills home, E! News reports.

“It was all close friends and family,” said a source, adding that no celeb guests were spotted entering all day.

DeGeneres, 50, and de Rossi, 35, have been a couple since December 2004. Back in May, DeGeneres announced on her talk show that she and de Rossi were planning to tie the knot after the California Supreme Court struck down a ban on gay marriage by ruling it unconstitutional. The audience responded with a standing ovation.

“Planning a wedding is very stressful,” DeGeneres said on the red carpet at the 2008 Daytime Emmy Awards. “It is crazy. My gardener is now invited.”

On more serious note, the Emmy Winner talk show host added: “”I can’t wait to be married. I feel like it is long overdue. And I think someday people will look back on this like women not having the right to vote and segregation and anything else that seems ridiculous like we all don’t have the same rights.”

Although months may have passed since word first leaked that Jay-Z and long-time girlfriend Beyoncé tied the knot, the hip-hop star finally talks about his marriage—and defends the couple’s decision to keep the details of their wedding private.

According to MTV.com, interviewer Elliot Wilson from “Vibe” magazine asked the rapper 15 questions – with No. 15 being, after Jay-Z had referred to Beyoncé as a “friend”:

“You said your ‘friend,’ but this is your wife. Are you still not willing to confirm?”

”That’s ridiculous for me to confirm,” replies Jay-Z. “I don’t have … I’m gonna say, I think that was a ridiculous question. I just think it’s really a part of your life that you gotta keep to yourself.”

Jay-Z continues to then say: “You have to, or you’ll go insane in this type of business. You have to have something that’s sacred to you and the people around you.”

Although Anne Hathaway has recently split from her boyfriend of four years—accused conman Rafaello Follieri—the “Get Smart” actress has some dating rules, reports E! News.

“I try not to date where I work. It makes life easier,” says Hathaway. “I don’t say no to anybody because I’d hope that people wouldn’t say no to me just because I’m an actor – but they’d have to be pretty extraordinary.”

And who are Hathaway’s role models when it comes to relationships?

“My parents have been married more than 25 years, with all the glory and the pain you can imagine, but they’ve stayed together. I want a strong marriage like that.”

Hathaway’s ex-beau remains in prison in the U.S., awaiting trial on a dozen counts of wire fraud, conspiracy and money laundering.

Reese Witherspoon and boyfriend Jake Gyllenhaal are denying rumours that the pair are engaged, reports People magazine.

“They are not engaged, getting married or any of the reports,” the reps tell the entertainment magazine exclusively.

When he asked her again a couple of weeks ago, she finally said yes.”

Not only is Mark Wahlberg expecting baby number three, but the actor is also planning on marrying long-time girlfriend Rhea Durham—finally.

“We continue to grow in our relationship,” Wahlberg told People magazine on Thursday at San Diego’s Comic-Con International. “I think we have a much better chance at succeeding and staying together.”

The 37-year-old actor and Durham, 30, plan to have a formal wedding next summer after their baby is born.

“I wasn’t prepared to be married – I don’t care who it was – at [age] 20 or 30,” said Wahlberg. But now, he says, he’s ready for “committing to really making it work constantly and all the other things that go into building a solid foundation.”

‘Grey’s’ Star Squashes Wedding Rumours

Irene Ogrodnik — Sun, 08 Jun 2008 00:52:09 +0000

T.R. Knight is not getting married to his boyfriend of less than a year, Mark Cornelson, anytime soon.

Rumours of the couple’s possible nuptials arose soon after the California Supreme Court legalized gay marriage. Before the legalization, however, Knight did not even think of the possibility of getting married.

“It was never an option,” Knight told me last night at a gay marriage celebration in West Hollywood. “You realize more when something like [the Supreme Court decision] happens that you’ve been treated like second-class citizens. But it’s simply a matter of our rights and freedom.”

When asked about his fantasy wedding, Knight says he has nothing special planned.

“I haven’t been planning on it, so I don’t know,” Knight says. “I don’t have one of those books made up. I’m going to have to give that some thought.”
