Spring is just around the corner, and already love is in the air. Earlier today, Wiz Khalifa asked Amber Rose to marry him, and she said yes! Of course he gave her a big, beautiful ring, and then they both took to Twitter to issue the requisite engagement announcements, because true love always tweets.
Wiz tweeted, "She Said Yes!!!" with a picture of her oval-cut diamond ring. (She has unreasonably attractive fingers, btw.) And she said, "He has made me the Happiest Woman in the World!!!!" Living the dream. The two have been together for about a year and have been pretty serious for a while, but they've finally made it's official. It's tempting to say that her ex Kanye West is now just a distant memory, but let's wait until they make it through their whole wedding without Kanye busting in and doing the matrimonial equivalent of his "I'm gonna let you finish…" speech before we declare him totally neutralized.

As you may know, if you have been anywhere near Twitter, today is Justin Bieber's 18th birthday. Yes, it's finally here, the moment we've all been waiting for. Justin Bieber can finally come into his own as a sexual being. It's a gift to the whole world—so in a way today is all of our birthdays. Luckily for us, JB didn't waste any time addressing his new official status as legal sex symbol. After getting hammered with birthday tweets of all kinds, the Biebster responded to those who were joking (maybe) about wanting to do him now: "dear cougars. i see the jokes. im legal. Hahaha." Do you think cougars in Justin's young mind are like 25 years old. Oh God, that's a depressing thought. [HuffPo]
In her interview for the April issue of Glamour, Jennifer Lawrence talked about not giving in to pressure to be ultra thin in Hollywood: "I don't diet. I do exercise! But I don't diet. You can't work when you're hungry, you know?" It's kind of crazy how refreshing it sounds to hear someone say such a normal thing. Anyway, yes, actually, we do know how hard it is to work when you're hungry, and we weren't even working on a movie called The Hunger Games. [People]
Beautiful John Carter star Taylor Kitsch (Tim Riggins for life!) told David Letterman last night that he was stopped by customs in the Philippines because his passport was out of space for stamps. He'd flown in from Japan, and they were about to send him back, but he told the agent he was an actor (something to do with his visa, I guess). They didn't believe him so he showed them the John Carter trailer, and here's what happened next: "He's like, ‘That's not you.' I'm like, ‘What?' He's like, ‘You have short hair.' And I'm like, ‘Mate, I cut it. It grows. It's me." Haha. Good to know that a customs agent who spends his days looking at passport pictures doesn't understand that people's hair grows. [EW]
Here is a quote from a James Gandolfini interview with Vanity Fair about his time on The Sopranos: "I'm still in love with Edie. Of course, I love my wife, but I'm in love with Edie. I don't know if I'm in love with Carmela or Edie or both. I'm in love with her." I am sure there is some context to this remark, but I'm not going to look it up because I choose to believe that this could mean sometime in the future there could be an HBO show called Gandolfini and His Wives, in which James Gandolfini plays a (nice) polygamist and Edie and his current wife become sister wives. Is that too much to ask for, world? [HuffPo]
- It seems Demi Moore has left rehab—where she was both reported to be an not be simultaneously—and she is now just "on vacation" in some undisclosed location. [E!]
- Scandalous People headline of the day: "Natalie Portman Steps Out Days After Secret Wedding Rings Revealed." Gasp! She dared to leave her house at a time like this? How can she go on about her daily life when we all know that she is married? [People]
- Another cryptic headline for you to savor: "Jennifer Aniston: Justin Theroux's Love Rival Is A Goat." Apparently there was a goat on the set of Wanderlust that she milked and ended up having a deep connection with. We should probably start speculating about whether she and the goat have secretly gotten married and/or whether she is hiding the fact that she's pregnant with goat-baby twins. [Contact]
- Burn this date into your memory for all time: Uma Thurman has just "debuted" her newly pregnant belly. [People]
- President Obama has named his favorite character from The Wire. It's Omar, as it should be because he is the world's best badass. (Though don't get me wrong, I love me some Stringer Bell too.) [EW]
- Some people thought Jessica Chastain was 30, but maybe she is actually 35. Did she lie? Does it matter? Have you ever in your life before this moment even wondered how old she was? So many important questions. [CDaN]
- In jolly old England, Kate Middleton had a tea party with Queen Elizabeth and Camilla. Seriously, it was inside food store Fortnum & Mason, and the ladies got souvenir picnic baskets filled with goodies, including dog treats. We ought to be thankful for this outing because it allowed this sentence to spring forth from the mouth of Kate Hobhouse, chairman of Fortnum & Mason, "One thing in common with all the ladies is their love of a hound." [People]
- Whoa. Colin Firth was on a flight to London yesterday when two of his fellow passengers got into a violent brawl. Armed police were their waiting when the plane touched down. Doesn't it seem like a stern talking to by Mr. Firth would be intimidating enough to calm anyone down? [E!]
- To celebrate her 25th birthday, Ke$ha had her head studded with a bunch of metal. Is it wrong to hope that those are actually screwed into her skull permanently and that we'll get to see Ke$ha celebrating her 75th birthday with them still on full display? Probably. [E!]
