Kevin Jonas surprised his girlfriend Danielle Deleasa by showing up at her doorstep in New Jersey early Wednesday morning and dropping down to his knee to ask her to marry him. Presented with a cushion-cut diamond ring that Jonas designed with Jacob & Co., Deleasa couldn't believe what was happening.
Then, "She said yes, yes, yes like 500 times super fast in a row," the oldest of the Jonas Brothers tells PEOPLE exclusively.
Jonas, 21, and Deleasa, 22, who met in May of 2007 while vacationing with their families in the Bahamas, haven't set a wedding date yet. "It still feels like a dream," she tells PEOPLE.

INSIDE STORY: Gosselin Divorce Papers Explained
Originally posted 06/29/2009 11:30AM
Kate Gosselin – of TV's Kate & Jon Plus 8 – filed legal documents to end her marriage in one of two counties in Pennsylvania where divorce cases are kept sealed. But leaks to the press have brought some of the details into the open – and caused a world of confusion. What are the grounds for divorce? Is Kate really claiming the pair separated two years ago?
Beware of reading too much in to the perfectly standard filings that have appeared so far, legal experts tell PEOPLE. About the only thing that is clear is that the couple, who married in 1999 and have eight kids, are opting for a no-fault divorce – the kind that lawyers like to call "divorce with dignity."

Kate Hudson continued to follow her New York Yankees beau Alex Rodriguez on the road Friday night, attending the opening game of the "Subway Series" at Citi Field in Queens, N.Y., against the New York Mets – where, in the eighth inning, A-Rod hit his 564th career homerun.
"Kate was standing and clapping and cheering during the game, especially when A-Rod hit a homerun," a source at the game tells PEOPLE. "She looked adorable and was so happy."
For the hunky ballplayer, 33, it was a milestone that pushed him into 11th place on the all-time homer list, one spot ahead of the legendary Reggie Jackson.

Kate Gosselin: 'It Feels Like I Failed'
Originally posted 06/24/2009 07:30AM
There's a lot of shouting happening in Kate Gosselin's house. The mother of eight children – twins Mady and Cara, 8, and sextuplets Alexis, Collin, Leah, Hannah, Aaden and Joel, 5 – has barely had time to change out of her morning workout clothes before her brood descends upon her, clinging to her legs and loudly wondering what to do given the rainy weather.
"Let's do a project," yells Kate, 34, above the clamor. The eight children race to the kitchen table and promptly pull out their construction paper and crayons to make Father’s Day cards for their conspicuously absent dad, who'll receive them two days later.
"Will you help me draw a heart?" asks a giggling Collin. "I want lots of hearts."

Don't expect Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi to become moms anytime soon.
Although the couple told PEOPLE last August that they talk about having kids, they have decided that they are happier being cool aunts.
"I don't think we're going to have kids," DeGeneres tells AOL Television. "We have animals, and we love them. And, you know, we are brand new aunts. Her brother and his wife just had a baby girl who's a month old now, and it's fun to be a part of that."

If anyone would have a perspective on marriage it would be Robin Wright Penn, whose union with husband Sean Penn has been one long roller-coaster ride.
"All marriages have their phases," Wright Penn, 43, tells the British magazine :Psychologies" for its July issue. "It's life. We go through it, if we're married long enough. If you're lucky you grow and you work it out."
The actress had stated her observations after her divorce from Sean Penn was called off last year. Since then, Penn, also 48, again filed legal separation papers in April, only to rescind them soon afterwards.

Drake Says He & Rihanna Are Just Friends

Although he and Rihanna have been spotted around town smooching, Drake is dispelling rumors that he and the 21-year old "Disturbia" singer are dating.
"We're just good friends," the Toronto-based rapper (real name: Aubrey Drake Graham), 22, tells ET Canada. "She's a great person, and I am happy to have her in my life. She gives me a lot of great advice, and she is very talented."
Best known for his role on the teen series Degrassi: The Next Generation, Drake said recently that he is writing songs for Rihanna. Asked if they would ever do a duet, he replied with a chuckle, "Maybe someday."
While Drake is due to tour this summer with Lil Wayne, Soulja Boy and Young Jeezy, Rihanna is expected in a Los Angeles court Monday for a preliminary hearing in the Chris Brown assault case.
