Dear gawd, can’t people just date?  I guess not if they’re famous.

Now that Russell Brand and Katy Perry have been very public about their dating…. The engagement rumors have begun.

A source close to Russell said: “We’ve never seen him like this. He always has a woman on his arm, or in his bed, and hasn’t been interested in monogamy.

“But this is different – we all think it won’t be long before he marries Katy. I’m waiting for a call to say they are in that Little Chapel in Vegas and have run off to get married.”

A couple that would be fitting, and celebrated, would be Russell Brand and the Waking up and Vegas Katy Perry.

Brand has even said about his relationship with Perry,

“To be honest I haven’t stopped smiling. She’s a lovely girl and it’s going really, really well. In fact I’ve never felt more settled in all my life. Katy is fantastic. I’m really happy.”

As long as they are happy… and it seems that they are

It must be a pin up theme this week on Busy Bee.

Victoria’s Secret and Sports Illustrated swimsuit model Marissa Miller got her pose on to support the troops with Harley Davidson.

Victoria’s Secret supermodel Marisa Miller is the new face — and body — of Harley-Davidson’s Military Appreciation Month. The company spokeswoman, whose grandfather is a veteran, joined the November campaign to express her appreciation of U.S. military personnel. “It means so much to me to salute the men and women of service,” Marisa tells In Touch.

I’m surprised Marissa is hiding the assets that made her famous. But she certainly is cute.

Lovely Dita, Dita von Teese, was headed off from LAX to Paris today (November 3).  The burlesque queen looks so beautiful even when traveling.  I wonder if security makes her take off her shoes, too.

I, uh, ok. Mormon moms, and muffins. Which are hotter?

Mormons Exposed have released a hot new addition to its controversial international project: a provocative 2010 calendar featuring 12 gorgeous Mormon mothers who have dared to pose in the first-ever Hot Mormon Muffins: A Taste of Motherhood calendar. A follow-up to the popular and controversial Men on a Mission calendars featuring hunky returned Mormon missionaries, the new Hot Mormon Muffins calendar is a tongue-in-cheek celebration of motherhood done in a playful vintage pinup style. Created as a vehicle to create dialog and deliberately debunk the subservient stereotypes of women’s roles within the Mormon Church, the sexy new calendar celebrates the great looks, beautiful bodies and delicious muffin recipes of these unconventional Latter-day Saint moms.

We knew it would happen. Mel Gibson and his “not a gold digger” singer/girlfriend had a baby girl.

“This will confirm that Oksana Grigorieva and Mel Gibson welcomed the arrival of a baby girl named Lucia on Friday, Oct. 30, 2009, at an undisclosed hospital in Los Angeles,” says Gibson’s rep, Alan Nierob, confirming earlier reports of the event. No further details were available.

I’m torn on how to report on this. I mean, who gives a flying flip if a man who’s been separated from his wife for the past three years has a girlfriend. And in that vein who cares if she gets knocked up with her second b@stard child. (yes, this is baby number 2 with a different guy).

Maybe that’s it. Who cares. Have your babies just don’t expect me to get excited for you.
