Rumor has it,  Mark Wahlberg is getting hitched this weekend! The actor is set to tie-the-knot with longtime girlfriend Rhea Durham tomorrow, Saturday (Aug 1st, 09), at the Good Shephard Catholic Church in Beverly Hills…

The couple have been dating since 2001 and share three kids together…

Lisa Marie Presley is devastated over the sudden passing of ex-husband Michael Jackson. This morning at 9:15am she wrote a heartfelt blog entry on her MySpace page entitled “He knew”. She says Michael “knew” he would die young and that he feared the same kind of fate as her father “Elvis Presley” once endured.

taken from Lisa Marie Presley’s blog entry…

Years ago Michael and I were having a deep conversation about life in general. I can’t recall the exact subject matter but he may have been questioning me about the circumstances of my Fathers Death. At some point he paused, he stared at me very intensely and he stated with an almost calm certainty, “I am afraid that I am going to end up like him, the way he did.” I promptly tried to deter him from the idea, at which point he just shrugged his shoulders and nodded almost matter of fact as if to let me know, he knew what he knew and that was kind of that.“

Lisa Marie struggled to help Michael for a long time but when it became too much to bare the couple grew apart and thus resulted in divorce…

I became very ill and emotionally/ spiritually exhausted in my quest to save him from certain self-destructive behavior and from the awful vampires and leeches he would always manage to magnetize around him.“

Presley also states that her relationship was not “a sham” and that she loved Michael “very much“… and I believe her!

As I sit here overwhelmed with sadness, reflection and confusion at what was my biggest failure to date, watching on the news almost play by play The exact Scenario I saw happen on August 16th, 1977 happening again right now with Michael (A sight I never wanted to see again) just as he predicted, I am truly, truly gutted.“

… It feels like she’s blaming herself in a way?!… I feel for you Lisa Marie! I think you probably did all you could… I’m sure many people are asking themselves “what else could I have done?” but the truth is, as a person you can only do so much to help others… ultimately the only person you can help is yourself!

       Canada’s Joshua Jackson is completely and utterly head over heals in love with German-born actress and girlfriend of 2 1/2 yrs, Diane Kruger. During a recent interview, Jackson had only great things to say about his girlfriend…

“I want to be a better man because I want to always see that look in her eyes when she looks at me. I want to be the man that deserves that love”

and then goes on by saying…

“She’s wonderful, she’s kind, she’s loving. She’s forgiving when I am a moron and not forgiving when I don’t deserve to be forgiven. There are no amount of good words.”

give her a ring already!…

         So rumor has it, Vince Vaughn is allegedly engaged to Canadian real-estate agent Kyla Weber. The only thing I can find on Weber is that she currently works or used to work for Keller Williams Platinum Realty in Calgary, Alberta. Word has it that the 29yr old is from the small town of Okotoks, just South of Calgary.

The couple meet and feel in love last May while vacating in Italy with friends. The pair were first publicly spotted spending time together in August, dining with friends and attending a Dolly Parton concert.

In Touch reported in December ‘08 that Vaughn bought the Canadian a 4-carat engagement ring retailed at $125,000!!! There were also rumors that Vaughn was planning on popping the question on New Years, however that apparently never happened.

Just recently Vaughn told USA Today that he is officially off the market and said “I am in a very happy, serious, committed relationship“…
