Rumors ran rampant
that Ashton Kutcher had popped the question to Demi
Moore after the "Indecent Proposal" actress
began wearing what looked suspiciously like an engagement
ring on her left hand. However, the lovebird's single status
had not changed after their Valentine's excursion to the One
& Only Palmilla Resort in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.
Although whispers
of a Las Vegas wedding between Justin Timberlake and
Cameron Diaz turned out to only be a rumor, the "Charlie's
Angels" actress, who is wearing a three carat ring from
her beau, enjoyed the pleasures of Sin City alongside the
"Justified" singer with a Valentine's Day getaway
at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino.
February 14th
was a down home celebration for newlyweds Britney Spears
and Kevin Federline, who spent the day at the Kentwood,
Louisiana mansion of the pop princess. Britney's hubby made
the day even sweeter with a Valentine's Day cake and a present
from local boutique Connie's Jewelry and Gifts.
Days after accepting

Another attendee
of New York's Fashion Week was actress Renee Zellweger,
who was spotted later in the month dining at Jacoby's Bier
Garten in Detroit with former boyfriend Jack White
of The White Stripes. Were Renee and her old flame simply
reminiscing about old times, or are the two willing to take
another chance on love? Only time will tell.
On a whirlwind
promotion tour which has taken him from the streets of London
to Hong Kong, "Constantine" actor Keanu Reeves
escaped the pressures of fame momentarily as he admired the
masterpieces found in Paris' premier art museum, The Louvre.
The Louvre has
seen an increase in its popularity due to "The DaVinci
Code", and another A-list celebrity seen perusing the
museum's halls in recent days was Johnny Depp, who
was in The City of Lights with his longtime Parisian paramour,
Vanessa Paradis. The couple checked into the "Coco Chanel
Suite" at The Ritz for the duration of their stay.

green makeup and matching dragon costumes, soon to be wed
