Fangtastic news everyone, Alexander Skarsgård will be the new face of Calvin Klein. Very little details are known, only that the Swedish überhunk is not going to strip down to his underwear since it'll be a perfume deal (Why Alexander? Why?). The photos were shot a couple of months ago. The campaign will be released these coming days, right on time for the premiere of True Blood's fifth season, where we can see Alexander as vampire Eric Northman.

Liam Hemsworth popped the question! Miley Cyrus announced to People Magazine that she is engaged to be married to Liam Hemsworth. In a statement the 19-year old singer and Hannah Montana actress says, "I'm so happy to be engaged and look forward to a life of happiness with Liam."

Liam, 22, proposed on May 31st with a 3.5 carat diamond ring from jeweler Neil Lane. The celebrity jeweler told People that Liam asked for "something unusual. Something really beautiful and romantic." Liam and Neil Lane went back and forth until Liam was satisfied. The final pick was a 3.5 carat cushion-cut diamond handcrafted in 18-karat gold. The ring has a distinct art nouveau pattern with handcarved diamond floral motifs. The center stone is highlighted by smaller stones set in the gold band. The jeweler says, "The light flashes and sparkles no matter where Miley moves her hand." The center stone is an antique from the late 19th century. Neil Lane says, "It was hand-cut around 1880 or 1890 and it's unique and in its original form. At that time no two diamonds were alike, as they were all hand-cut, so it's fascinating to look at because it hasn't been re-cut to look contemporary over the years. I find that really romantic."

Miley and Liam, 22, met when filming for The Last Song in 2009 and have been a couple ever since. Miley is currently in the studio working on a new album, whereas Chris Hemsworth younger brother is filming Empire State in New Orleans. Afterwards he'll film Paranoia with Harrison Ford and Gary Oldman, as well as the second installment of The Hunger Games.

Yesterday Kimberly Stewart stepped out with 10-month old daughter Delilah. The mother-daughter duo went out for breakfast in Bel Air, where they met up with two friends (among which actor Scott Caan). Delilah stole the show though, chewing away on her mom's purse. The dark haired baby girl takes after her daddy Benicio del Toro. She looked adorable in a cute vest top and red pants. Kimberly, daughter of Rod Stewart, wore grey skinny jeans and a cute top. She accessorized with an oversized red bag (probably filled with baby stuff), a golden necklace with heart pendant and a big gold cuff.

Kimberly and Benicio are no longer together, but she has stated that he is a very hands-on father. He even was in the delivery room with her and her mom. Kimberly named her daughter after the 1968 Tom Jones song.
Adorable Delilah!

Ashley Biden, daughter of Vice President of the United States of America Joe Biden, wed Philadelphia surgeon Howard Krein on Saturday. The couple tied the knot at the St. Joseph on the Brandywine Roman Catholic Church in Greenville, the same church where Ashley was baptized. The wedding ceremony combined Catholic (Ashley) and Jewish (Howard) traditions.

Joe Biden walked his daughter Ashley down the aisle on Saturday. The VP was very emotional about giving his youngest daughter away. He said to People Magazine, "I kept telling Ash, we've got to open up the church and practice walking up and down the aisle so I can handle it." The bride wore a dramatic mermaid gown with elaborate ruffles at the bottom, designed by Vera Wang.

The newlyweds, their family and friends celebrated the nuptials at the Biden's lakeside family home in Wilmington. The reception and family-style dinner were attended by some 200 guests.

Ashley, 30, and Howard, 45, have been a couple since the summer of 2010, when they were introduced to each other by Ashley's older brother Beau. Howard proposed in October 2011, after getting permission from proud father Joe. The VP said, "This is the right guy. And he's getting a helluva woman."

The couple is now off on their honeymoon. The destination was kept a surprise from Ashley by Howard, until Saturday evening. They will make their home in Philadelphia.

Will Kopelman and Drew Barrymore are husband and wife! The couple wed on Saturday at Drew's Montecito, California, home.

The newlyweds had an intimate ceremony that was "classic, simple, very pretty, garden-inspired". The wedding ceremony was organised by wedding planners Yifat Oren and Stefanie Cove, who also organised Reese Witherspoon and Jim Toth's nuptials last March. A rabbi officiated the Jewish ceremony. Cameron Diaz, Reese Witherspoon, Jim Toth, Jimmy Fallon and Busy Philips witnessed the couple tying the knot.

Drew, 37, wed in a Chanel gown. Not very surprising, since Will's father, Arie Kopelman, is a former Chanel CEO.

Actress Drew and art dealer Will are expecting their first child later this year. This is Drew's third marriage.

The European Championships are about to begin, but Dirk Kuyt (Dutch spelling: Dirk Kuijt) had some time left to take an important decision: he's going to play football at Fenerbahçe. Both Fenerbahçe and his current football club, Liverpool FC, have confirmed the move.

In a statement Liverpool FC officials say, "Liverpool Football Club can confirm that Dirk Kuyt has advised the club that he has reached an agreement with Fenerbahçe SK over a move to Turkey, and the transfer is expected to be completed in the next few days. Everyone at Liverpool Football Club would like to wish Dirk all the very best for the future and thank him for his contribution to the club."

Dirk will sign a three-year contract with the Turkish club. He was supposed to stay at Liverpool FC until 2013, but this last season was disappointing, first-team starts were hard to come by under trainer Kenny Dalglish. It is unknown how much Fenerbahçe will pay Liverpool FC. 

It was rumoured that Dirk Kuyt would go back to his old club, Feijenoord in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. However, Dirk said that, "if I returned to Holland, I would have to take an 80% cut in my Liverpool wages. If you are 35 or 36, you know your career is almost done. But I'm only 31 and in the prime of my life. I still have two or three years left at the top. I still have an ambition and fitness to play at the highest level, a club in a major competition or a big club with European ambitions."
