LuAnn de Lesseps: Engaged to Tom D"Agostino!

SPLASH!

That sound you just heard may have been Ramona Singer falling into her wine glass.

That’s because LuAnn de Lesseps, Singer’s co-star on The Real Housewives of New York City, has confirmed that she’s engaged to Tom D’Agostino Jr., who happens to be Singer’s ex-boyfriend.

The couple has been teasing this romantic news for weeks now, ever since we reported last month that they were dating.

Insiders told People Magazine at the time that de Lesseps is “completely over the moon” for the real estate investor and and that a “big announcement is imminent.”

So here it is:

“Thomas was planning on a Valentine’s Day proposal during their upcoming vacation in Vail, but couldn’t wait and presented an eight-carat canary yellow diamond ring before they got there,” a source close to Lesseps tells People.

Yes, you read that correctly: EIGHT carats!

The anonymous insider goes on to say that LuAnn considers Tom to be “her soulmate and is so happy and grateful to have found love a second time.”

Lesseps was married to Count Alexandre De Lesseps from 1993 to 2009 and the exes share two children, son Noel and daughter Victoria.

Tragically, once her impending marriage is made official, the reality star will lose her courtesy title of Countess.

However, have no fear: her businesses, The Countess Collection: Styled for Living (which features her apparel and jewelry collections on Evine.com) will stick around.

PHEW.

Lesseps was introduced to D’Agostino about nine months ago.

They haven’t been dating long, but when the heart wants what the heart wants, one cannot argue with said heart.

No word yet on when this wedding will take place, but we’re guessing LuAnn de Lesseps won’t be shy is passing along every last detail.

We send our very best wishes to the happy couple and we can’t wait to watch The Real Housewives of New York City online to see how their relationship evolves.

Ben Higgins: In Love with TWO Women! Lauren Bushnell Not Happy!

If you haven"t read The Bachelor spoilers … don"t read any further, because we"re pretty much going to give away the end right here.

Alleged ending, that is. With due credit year in and year out to the soothsayer of spoilers, Reality Steve, not even the Oracle is perfect.

No one truly knows until the season finale airs. With that said …

Flight attendant Lauren Bushnell is going to get the final rose from Ben Higgins. This is all but guaranteed. Beyond the final rose, though?

Let"s just say that for all The Bachelor couples that end up blissfully engaged and start planning a wedding once the cameras stop rolling …

There are actually very few weddings that take place. At all.

Might Ben Higgins and Lauren Bushnell buck that trend? Of course it"s possible. But their fairy tale may not be as drama-free as expected.

According to Reality Steve, Ben Higgins picked his winner before the season  finale was even filmed; Lauren was that big of a frontrunner.

Well, you wouldn"t know it from the promo for tonight"s episode, in which Ben reveals that he is in love with TWO girls at the same time.

Apparently Lauren was as surprised to hear this as anyone.

Even though he"s the star of a show in which one eligible guy dates 25 women at once, the notion that Ben was “in love” with another?

That didn"t sit well with her. A source closed to her dished: “Lauren was shocked and embarrassed when the video aired on ABC."

"She told all of her close friends and family that she was the only woman Ben was interested in on the show, now she feels like a fool.”

The insider went on to say that Lauren is questioning their entire relationship as a result, wondering what else she doesn"t know about him.

Much ado about nothing? Rumor mill gone wild in February?

Maybe so, but don"t be surprised if these two split up even faster than Chris Soules and Whitney Bischoff. The show"s track record? Not stellar.

Khloe Kardashian: My Talk Show SUCKS!

It’s only been two weeks since Kocktails With Khloe debuted on the FYI network, and it seems the sassiest Kardashian is already completely sick of her hosting gig.

While rumors that Kocktails is being canceled turned out to be bogus, Khloe is reportedly very unhappy with the show’s ratings thus far.

Worse than that, however, production insiders say that Khloe is unhappy with the show in general.

As the heads of a small, struggling cable network FYI execs are reportedly thrilled with the Kocktails’ slow but steady progress, but Khloe isn’t sharing in their enthusiasm:

“Khloe’s bosses are ecstatic because this show has put their network on the map,” an insider tells Radar Online.

“[But] Khloe said she’s just not happy with the outcome of the show thus far.”

Early reviews of Kocktails With Khloe have not been kind, with critics pointing out that the show seems amateurish and oddly reliant upon gossip that’s usually old news by the time an episode makes it to air.

“Khloe said that she also does not love how reliant the show is on outside gossip and she feels like she should have more authority on air than she has,” says the source.

Of course, at the end of the day, the best way to appeal to a Kardashian is to feed her ego, and apparently, producers just aren’t doing that.

“Khloe said she just doesn’t feel like it is really her show and that she is the star. She said that, so far, it just feels like she is co-hosting Kocktails with a panel of friends,” says the source.

We guess someone should’ve explained to her that that’s kind of how panel shows work.

Kris Jenner Used Prayer, God to Accept Caitlyn Jenner

Despite what a certain tabloid wants you to believe, Kris Jenner probably did not sleep with O.J. Simpson.

But the 60-year old reality star is featured in the latest issue of Harper’s Bazaar, telling the magazine that she did have a difficult time accepting her ex-husband’s transition from man to woman.

Even now, it sounds as if Kris is still struggling to fully understand why Bruce Jenner decided to become Caitlyn Jenner.

“I just have to let it go. And try to be tolerant,” Jenner told Harper’s Bazaar, explaining what she has done to cope:

“[With] prayer. God. You know, just trying to understand. It takes time. But time is a wonderful healer. And we have two children together. It’s important for my kids to see our family strong and united.”

In a recent interview, Caitlyn says she was actually taking estrogen pills when she met Kris.

She says she had 36B boobs at the time she got together with Kris and the two came up with certain rules and guidelines (e.g. no dressing up in woman’s clothes) that made their relationship work.

But Kris has always disputed the notion that she knew her husband of 23 years had this disposition.

“I never really thought about it before,” she tells Harper’s of the transgender world, prior to Caitlyn’s announcement last spring.

“And I’d never known anyone who was transgender. I didn’t even know what the word meant. Because there’s transgender and transsexual … I just didn’t know much about it. So…I definitely got a big education.”

This edition of Harper’s Bazaar, which hits newsstands on February 16, also featured Kris saying some very nice things about Kanye West.

“I couldn’t be prouder. One thing people don’t realize about him is, not only is he so beyond talented, but he’s also a genius,” Jenner says.

“And when he’s here, he’s so present. He’s the best daddy, and the best husband. Kim is so lucky to have him.”
