Jessica Simpson to wed Eric Johnson by Christmas
Jessica SimpsonSinger Jessica Simpson is reportedly planning to tie the knot with fiance footballer Eric Johnson by Christmas. The singer-actress got engaged to Johnson after a six-month romance and she is now determined to walk down the aisle over the festive period because she doesn’t want it to be overshadowed by the nuptials between her ex-husband Nick Lachey and his new fiancée Vanessa Minnillo. "She wants to beat Nick to the altar. She knows that it is going to be tough to pull everything together on such short notice, so it might have to be a New Years wedding. In any case, she wants the focus to be on her wedding. She doesn’t want her wedding to be the aftermath of his," the source said.

The "Come On Over" singer will spend a fortune on her big day as she doesn’t want to be upstaged by Nick and Vanessa, who announced their engagement two weeks before Jessica and Eric.

An insider added, "It will be big and elaborate. She’ll spare no expensive for fear that Nick and Vanessa will outdo her. She’s already started planning everything and has every family member working on her big day."

Jessica Simpson representatives Lauren Auslander and Cindi Berger tell reporters that the singer and sometime actress is engaged to former NFL player Eric Johnson.

The announcement comes less than two weeks after Jessica Simpson’s former husband and "Newlyweds" co-star Nick Lachey announced his engagement to longtime girlfriend Vanessa Minnillo.

The 30-year-old Simpson and 31-year-old Johnson -who played for the San Francisco 49ers and New Orleans Saints - have been dating since May.

No plan for Wedding: Priyanka Chopra
Priyanka ChopraShe may be one of the most eligible single women in tinsel town, but getting married figures nowhere on the agenda of National Award winning actress Priyanka Chopra. The 28 year old says she is too young for it. Priyanka is in fact "amused" by recent rumours that she has given in to her parents’ incessant requests to get married. "It’s actually quite amusing how much momentum this particular rumour has gathered. But it’s completely ridiculous. Of course, like any girl I’d want to be married some day but for god’s sake I’m only in my 20s and for an actress that’s like being a teenager," said Priyanka. Nevertheless, she admits her parents want her to settle down. "My parents have been wanting me to be married since I was born and have been coaxing me since I was old enough to understand the concept. Like any normal Punjabi family," she said.

But does she see herself married in the next five years?

"I don’t plan my life, so I don’t know. It will happen whenever the right guy comes along and sweeps me off my feet, whenever destiny permits," quipped Priyanka, who was seen in her rough and tough avatar in the reality TV show, "Fear Factor: Khatron Ke Khiladi 3".

The former Miss World is counted among the most formidable actresses of the current generation and reached the peak of her career with projects like "Fashion", "Dostana" and "Kaminey".

She is enjoying her success, awaiting her upcoming releases, and busy working hard for her new projects, which hardly leaves her with time to mingle with people. She feels her celebrity status, at times, makes it difficult to meet good men.

Besides, Priyanka says she has no hang-ups about the background of the person she will marry.

Priyanka has been previously linked with three actors - Harman Baweja, Shahid Kapoor and Hollywood star Gerard Butler, but she prefers not to comment.

She said: "I have never felt the need to discuss my personal life. I never have and never will until there is something or someone substantial to say something about!"

In the meantime, work is all that’s on her mind.

Her forthcoming projects include Vishal Bharadwaj’s "Saat Khoon Maaf", in which she plays a femme fatale who kills her seven spouses.

She will also be seen with superstar Shah Rukh Khan once again in "Don 2 - The Chase Continues", the sequel to the 2006 "Don - The Chase Begins Again". Both films are slated for release in 2011.

She has also signed up for Anurag Basu’s "Silence", and will be featuring with Ranbir once again.

That can never change.”

Amazing and Unbelievable : Katrina Kaif married to BJP MLA
Katrina Kaif
Believe it or not, but Katrina Kaif has apparently been framed in a marriage scandal. A marriage certificate, which is believed to be ‘fake’, has revealed that Katrina is the wife of local BJP MLA Ramesh Mendola.

A marriage certificate approved by Indore Municipal Corporation (IMC) shows that Katrina entered into wedlock with the MLA on December 2, 2008 and got the marriage registered on December 11 the same year. However, it has now been revealed that nothing of that sort ever happened and the certificate is fake. Perhaps, the certificate has simply been prepared out of malice to malign the actress’ image.

IMC Marriage Registrar Dr Natwar Sarda said, “This certificate is completely fake & Municipal Corporation hadn’t issued it. It’s a mischievous act. It seems as if somebody must have firstly scanned a marriage certificate by IMC & with software’s help they showed Katrina and MLA Ramesh as couples.”

IMC is now planning to lodge a police complaint to book the culprit for the crime. Imagine how furious would Salman be on that!
