Many busy mothers of two children may not be able to fit into a tiny shift dress, less than three months after giving birth. But Kourtney Kardashian was an image to make women across the planet feel very envious as she filmed scenes for her reality TV show on Friday.

Anyone hoping that Katie Price and Simon Cowell would take their rumored-fling and make it into something more are going to be disappointed, because it appears that the UK glamour model/reality fixture has become engaged for the third time…to her Argentinian model boyfriend, Leandro Penna!

The pair were spotted out and about in London this past week, with Jordan wearing a massive pink engagement ring, and her spokesman confirms:

“It’s true — they are engaged. Leandro proposed to Katie while they were away skiing recently — and she said yes. They told her children but had intended to keep it secret for a while. No wedding arrangements have been made and they are both quite relaxed about that for the time being.”

Well of course no arrangements have been made – she still isn’t completely divorced from her second husband, Alex Reid!

But hey! If they’re happy – and don’t mind exchanging vows with translators – then who are we to judge?

Congratulations, you two! All the best!

The singer is not the only celebrity to perform community service with an entity to which they have close ties. Mel Gibson and Sean Penn had similar arrangements. Both actors had received permission in advance for the assignments in misdemeanor cases.

At a party with a bunch of other pop-culture bloggers a few weeks back, our revelry eventually deteriorated into drunkenly trying to one-up each other with which celebrities we shared our birthdays with. I didn’t even have to look up IMDb because I already knew my birthday buddies: Naomi Watts, Bam Margera, and Hilary Duff. The latter I announced with a grim resignation, as I’d been dealing with it for the past 24 years.

Sharing a birthday with Hilary Duff—who’s only a year older than me—is like having the same birthday as one of your friends and coming up short every year. I remember in high school when I was looking forward to my 17th birthday, but all over the internet, websites were excitedly counting down to Hil finally being legal. This didn’t change when I went to college: 20 for me was an even more lackluster birthday when compared to Lizzie McGuire’s 21st.

And it wasn’t just the numbers—when you’re comparing yourself to a celebrity, even your highest achievements seem mundane by comparison. I was an undergrad at NYU? Hilary played an NYU student on Gossip Girl! I was moving in with my first love? She got married and popped out the cutest celebrity baby our Twitter accounts have ever been blessed with.

A few Septembers ago, I was celebrating my cousin’s engagement at a trendy Asian fusion restaurant in the Upper West Side when I caught sight of a familiar blonde blowing out candles at a nearby table. It being a few days before the 28th, I figured out that Hilary was celebrating low-key with some friends. I so wanted to quietly walk over to her table and wish her a happy birthday, without drawing attention to who she was. But I knew that short of me whipping out my driver’s license, she wouldn’t believe that we were kindred spirits and would think I was just some crazy stalker who had memorized her date of birth.

Of course, let’s not forget that this year Hilary has upstaged me once again, hitting her quarter-life birthday while I’m lingering at the unremarkable 24. And in writing that, I realize I need to stop joking about this. Because even though it’s all in good fun and I’m being self-deprecating, it still means I’m putting myself down instead of letting myself actually enjoy my day. It’s not a contest.

The other day Hilary tweeted, It’s almost my birthday!!!! I figured why the hell not and responded, Same here! She hasn’t responded, but I don’t imagine she would; with 1.6 million followers, she’ll expect that statistically there are a few people with her same birthday. Still, it was nice to reach out to her across time and space and say, Hey, September 28th means something to me, too.

With the second season of Once Upon a Time set to premiere this Sunday, star Jennifer Morrison did some last-minute promoting in NYC yesterday. On Sept. 27, the small screen siren made an appearance at Bloomingdale’s on 59th Street. After posing for a few pics, Jennifer sat back and signed some posters for fans.

As a huge fan of Once Upon a Time, I’ve been waiting for the second season since May. With so many questions left unanswered, I’m intrigued to see where the story will pick up. Are YOU going to be tuning into Once this weekend?
