Sherri Shepherd received the ultimate Christmas gift from boyfriend Lamar Sally. According to People, Sally popped the question to 'The View' and 'Newlywed Game' host the day after Christmas, but not before asking Shepherd's 5-year-old son, Jeffery, for permission.
"Upon arriving back to Lamar's home in Los Angeles from a trip to San Diego, Shepherd was surprised to find their accommodations had been decorated with lights by one of Sal's best friends, her dog was wearing a Santa beard and hat, and in the middle of a dish of Sherri's favorite but forbidden M&M's (she is diabetic) was a tiny little box," her rep told People.
The couple -- who have been dating for more than a year -- were introduced by the fiancé of Shepherd's good friend Niecy Nash. The two plan to tie the knot during August in Shepherd's hometown of Chicago.
Shepherd isn't the only one headed toward marital bliss. Actress Vivica Fox, 46, and her party promoter beau, Omar "Slim" White, 27, are also engaged. According to People, White presented Fox with an 8-carat diamond ring over the holidays while the two were staying at the Ritz-Carlton on South Beach.
"She is over the moon - so excited, so in love," a source close to Fox told People. "They are both eager to start their lives together and have a family." The couple went through a brief breakup in 2010, before reconciling. This will be Fox's second marriage (she was previously wed to singer Christopher Harves) and White's second.
Eva Gets Her Groove Back
Despite being in the midst of a public divorce from her basketball husband Tony Parker, Eva Longoria is dealing with it just fine with the help of her new man, Eduardo Cruz. The New York Post reported that Cruz, who is Penelope Cruz's younger brother, was spotted at the actress' home around the holidays.
Longoria's neighbors claim she's been spending a great deal of time with the Latin singer, who is 10 years her junior. "He's there at least three nights out of every four -- he turns up and he leaves the next morning," a source told OK!
Longoria's rep denies that the two are an item saying, "Eva and Eduardo are friends." We're just glad to see her moving on -- even if he is just a rebound.
