1. Yes, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are engaged now
The fairy tale romance between Kim Kardashian and Kanye West has reached its inevitable climax: Last night, West proposed marriage to Kardashian using a method that conveniently doubles as a parody of what a Kanye West proposal would be like. The rapper took Kardashian to San Francisco's AT&T Park, where she was presented with a flashing Jumbotron that read "PLEEEASE MARRY MEEE!!! [sic]." A 50-piece orchestra was in attendance, and fireworks went off over the field after Kardashian accepted. The couple has not yet set a date for the ceremony — but given what happened the last time Kardashian had a big splashy celebrity wedding, you can expect to hear a lot more about it in the months to come.

5. Kevin Connolly is still threatening to make the Entourage movie
Despite its enduring message of laid-back bro love, the film adaptation of HBO's Entourage has been dogged by reports that its principal cast members are embroiled in a fight over salaries. But you can go ahead and put those celebratory brewskis on ice, Entourage fans: According to star Kevin Connolly, the movie is essentially a done deal. "It's gonna happen," warns Connolly in an interview with TMZ. "It's not official yet, but it will be" — as soon as Vince stops wasting an entire season hemming and hawing over whether or not to do it. [TMZ]
