Engaged:
TOMMY LEE is set to take a third shot at happily-ever-after. This time, the MOTLEY CRUE drummer popped the question to Vine "star" BRITTANY FURLAN, who proudly showed off a heart-shaped diamond on social media and tweeted that she "can't wait to get to spend forever with my best friend." If you're keeping track at home, Tommy was previously married to HEATHER LOCKLEAR from 1986-1993 and PAMELA ANDERSON from 1995-1998. (Lee)
Hysterectomy:
actress LENA DUNHAM has revealed she has had an operation to remove her uterus after years of suffering from endometriosis, a condition which means tissues that should line the uterus begin to grow outside. Lena --who's 31 and stars on the series, "Girls," said "Soon I'll start exploring whether my ovaries, which remain someplace inside me in that vast cavern of organs and scar tissue, have eggs" and that "Adoption is a thrilling truth I'll pursue with all my might." Lena had been dating JACK ANTONOFF, the lead guitarist of the band, FUN, since 2012, but they broke up in December.
Lowering expectations:
This Olympic skier has been showing off some other skills.
Swiss skier FABIAN BOESCH is in South Korea, taking part in his second Olympics. Video posted to Instagram shows the athlete riding up an escalator, holding onto the handrail with just one hand and dangling off the side. Another person is seen riding the escalator properly and staring at Boesch in disbelief. The Olympian's video caption reads: "After 20 years I still couldn't figure out how these things work! Am I doing it right?" The clip has 700-thousand views. (Still)Grace notes from Vinny Marino:
ED SHEERAN is available for weddings. Well, one wedding anyway. Us Weekly says PRINCE HARRY
has personally asked Ed to sing at his upcoming wedding to MEGHAN MARKLE. But, Ed has a show that night, May 19th, at Phoenix Park in Dublin. He can probably do both. Dublin and London aren't that far away from each other. (Marino)
