Chad Michael Murray's Gettin' Hitched!
One Tree Hill hunk
Chad Michael Murray asked his costar
Sophia Bush to marry him while he was shooting his upcoming horror movie,
House of Wax. They've been
dating for a while now, and
Chad went all out with his
proposal. First of all, he arranged to have 500 lit
candles and
20 bouquets of roses laid out all around his
hotel room! Then he got down on
one knee and
popped the question - presenting his
future wife with a stunning
diamond ring that he helped design. Why does
Chad think their
marriage will last? "She's
perfect. She keeps me inspired, and she complements me very well."

Kirsten and Jake are Splitsville!
Everyone was
shocked when
Spider-Man 2 star
Kirsten Dunst dumped her cute boyfriend
Jake Gyllenhaal, saying that she was just
too busy to keep the relationship going. Poor
Jake apparently didn't see the
break-up coming, and is now battling with
Kirsten to keep the dog they adopted together! As for
Kirsten, she reportedly has already begun to see other people, so it's probably safe to assume that she's already over
Jake.

Lindsay Lohan Signs a Record Deal!
This didn't come as much of a surprise to anyone who's heard
Lindsay sing in movies like

Tommy Mottola, the record executive who married (and divorced)
Mariah Carey a few years back, signed
Lindsay to multi-year deal - with her first
album due out by the end of 2004. Like
Hilary Duff and
Madonna before her,
Lindsay will combine
acting with her newfound
music career.
