Mariln Manson Engaged To Rachel Wood?
Shock rocker Marilyn Manson has prompted rumors he has proposed to girlfriend Evan Rachel Wood, after the actress was spotted with a ring on her engagement finger.
The 20-year-old flashed a sparkling gem on the New Jersey set of The Wrestler - 13 months after she began dating Manson, who is 19 years her senior. The pair hooked up after Manson split from his ex-wife, burlesque star Dita Von Teese.
After going public with their relationship, Manson said, "I've found my double, my twin, with my new girlfriend, Evan Rachel Wood. She understands I like to get up when night falls and go to sleep at dawn."

Keira Knightley: 'Photographs Take Away The Soul'
Keira Knightley hates having her photograph taken - because she insists each photo takes away a piece of her soul.
The Atonement star tries to avoid being caught on camera, and now admits she agrees with the thoughts of indigenous Australian people on the nature of photos.
She says, "I'm not comfortable having to be myself or being photographed as myself. Australian Aborigines say that with every photo that is taken, a piece of your soul goes with it. And there are some days when I kind of believe that."

Mother Approves Of Lindsay Lohan's Naked Photos
Lindsay Lohan's mother approves of her daughter's nude photo shoot in the latest issue of New York magazine, insisting the revealing spread is "tastefully done."
The actress bares all behind strips of sheer fabric in the raunchy photos, which are copies of images photographer Bert Stern shot of Marilyn Monroe just six weeks before she died in 1962.
Lohan had never stripped off in print or on screen before, but didn't hesitate to emulate her hero Monroe - and mom Dina is proud of her 21-year-old daughter.
Dina says, "It was very tastefully done. I respect the photographer as an artist, so I look at them artistically.
For him to call Lindsay 46 years later and to say can you recreate these photos is an honor. I don't look at them like it's Playboy; she was being a character. If you look at it that way, you can look at it as a mother."

Brett Ratner Stunned By Mariah Carey's Hot Body
Moviemaker Brett Ratner can't wait to release Mariah Carey's new "Touch My Body" video next week - because he's convinced the world will wow over the sexy singer's toned new look.
Ratner directs the much-anticipated promo and admits even he was stunned by his pal's rocking body. He says, "Mariah looks better than she has ever looked... It's ridiculous.
She has this trainer that she flew in from (Caribbean island) St. Barts and this woman has been beating the hell out of her and her body.
She has an incredible body, but she was always very voluptuous; now she's just, like, fit and I was, like, we've gotta show this body." Ratner hopes to have the video, which also features TV funnyman Jack McBrayer, ready to air online by Monday.
