The two have been engaged since November, Campbell revealed at the premiere of his latest film, Handsome Harry, at the Tribeca Film Festival over the weekend.

Campbell and Kathleen met when they were both working on plays on Boston.

Abracadabra…David Blaine magically made a woman who wants to marry him appear.

The formerly-cool-magician-turned-douche-y showboat “illusionist,” 36, is planning to marry his French girlfriend, 23-year-old model Alizee Guinochet.

A magician and a model?

That worked out real well for Claudia Schiffer and David Copperfield.  

Their honeymoon will take place in an ice tank, suspended fifty feet in the air, upside down.

Megan Fox wants to clear up any misconceptions about her engagement to Brian Austin Green. 

The 22-year-old Transformers star and the former Beverly Hills 90210 hunk, 35, broke off their engagement in February after a five year relationship (do the math on Megan’s age and then cringe with us).

They’ve since gotten back together, which is good since Megan has Brian’s name tattooed over her whoo-hah, but she says she still isn’t ready to walk down the aisle.

Danny Bonaduce has proposed to his manager girlfriend.

And the girl said "yes."

Has she not seen Breaking Bonaduce? Is she insane?

Their engagement comes less than six months after Danny divorced Gretchen, his awesome wife of 16 years who bore the brunt of his ire on their VH1 reality show.

Danny, 49, proposed to Amy Railsback, who is 26, 23 years his junior, on March 12th with a diamond and ruby-studded sterling silver skull and crossbones ring.

Lovely.

Yeah, this is not going to end well.

Harrison Ford and girlfriend Calista Flockhart are engaged to be married.

Ford, 66, kept it old school. He presented Calista, 44, with an engagement ring on Valentine’s Day weekend while the two were away on a family vacation with her son Liam.

After seven and a half years together, he performed the most romantic gesture possible on the most romantic day of the year.

That’s adorable.

No wedding date has been set yet.

It’s Harrison’s third marriage (he got married the first time in 1964, the year Calista was born) and Calista’s first.

Wee hobbit Christina Ricci is engaged to her gigantor boyfriend of four months, Owen Benjamin.

Uhhh huh.

Okay.

We’re so sure that’s gonna last.

Christina and Owen, who are a walking sight gag with their 17 inch height difference (she’s 5’1, he’s 6’6) began dating in November when they co-starred in the upcoming comedy, All’s Faire in Love.

Who thinks these two make it all the way to the altar? We’ve got twenty bucks that says no way, no day.

Danny, 33, who is best known for his work on That 70s Show and who now deejays under the handle DJ Mom Jeans, proposed to Phillips, 28, on Saturday after three and a half years of dating.

It’s a dark day for men everywhere…and many lesbians.

Adriana Lima, the Brazilian supermodel best known for her work with Victoria’s Secret, eloped with her NBA star fiancé Marko Jaric, who plays for the Memphis Grizzlies, on Valentine’s Day in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.

The couple, who got engaged last June on Lima’s 27th birthday, had a small, private civil ceremony.

Congratulations, kids.

F. Gary Gray's latest effort, Law Abiding Citizen, starring Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler, is a knockout! Exhilirating, wry and breathcatchingly paced, it's a stellar accomplishment for everyone involved. Hell yeah you should see it!

Scott Hicks, the director of Shine, and Clive Owen teamed up for this gloriously beautiful if underwhelming project. It's not that it's bad, it's just not that memorable and with such supreme talent attached, I was hoping for and expecting a lot more.

Oh, Diablo Cody, why'd you have to do it? I love you so long...and then you made this. Megan Fox does what she always does, she looks hot. At least there's that. Sophmoric, unfunny and obsessively idiosyncratic, it's a painful movie going experience.

Chocolate and peanut butter. Spaghetti and meatballs. Bobcat Goldthwait and profanity. Two great tastes that taste great together. Gone is the Bobcat of the Police Academy movies and in his stead is a fantastic writer-director who's able to orchestrate the most brilliantly, hilarious vulgarity imaginable. World's Greatest Dad is a fantastic dark comedy (very dark) that features Robin Williams' best performance since Good Will Hunting. See it!
