"If I was with you for 9 hours a day, I'd buy you a ring, too." Is that a promise? Chad Ochocinco sparked engagement rumors after giving Dancing with the Stars partner Cheryl Burke a gigantic platinum diamond ring, which Burke conveniently wears on the ring finger of her left hand. Recently, Ochocinco said he is thinking about buying Burke a new car...if they make it to the final three.

David and Victoria Beckham made it known during their appearance on The View, that they would consider having a fourth child. The couple already has three sons, which Posh confessed is a lot to handle. But when asked about a possible addition, she said "Who knows, one day?" Could a little girl be in the stars?

For the first time in a long time, Tiger Woods was spotted...GASP... "hanging out," and received a significant amount of flack for attending a Nickelback concert. "Nickelback -- a couple of the band members are friends of mine, and that's why I went. I just had a great time. And unfortunately, I got criticized for seeing my friends.''

So we kind of felt like the reconciliation between Reggie Bush and Kim Kardashian wouldn't last long. Sadly, the two have called it quits and perhaps for good this time. Especially since, rumor has it, Kardashian has found a new man -- soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo. The two were seen hooking up in Spain and are apparently in "daily contact."

It’s always nice to know your significant other will stick with you through thick and thin…literally. Carrie Underwood said her hockey star fiancée Mike Fisher would love her even if she weighed 800 pounds. While we doubt the vegetarian could ever balloon to that weight, it’s good to know she doesn’t have to worry about gaining a few post-wedding pounds.

Oliers forward Mike Comrie and actress Hilary Duff seem to be taking their wedding planning in stride. When asked how her sister is preparing for her nuptials, Haylie Duff said the sisters have begun discussing preliminary plans, but have nothing solid in place. Comrie may want to get in on the action in an attempt to forget about his team's last place finish among the NHL's 30 teams.

Erin Andrews and Maksim Chmerkoskiy have kept people wondering whether they're more than just dance partners. The flirtatious duo won't give a straight answer on their relationship status, but they've managed to stay safe on 'Dancing with the Stars' and are one of six couples remaining.

Floyd Mayweather and Shane Mosely really know how to attract an A-list crowd. Boxing alums in the audience at Saturday night's fight included Muhammad Ali, Mike Tyson and Oscar De La Hoya. The main event also attracted Leonardo DiCaprio, Bar Refaeli, Paris Hilton, Nick Cannon, Mariah Carey, Eva Longoria-Parker, Mark Wahlberg, Will Smith, Michael J. Fox, Magic Johnson and Jamie Foxx.

Danica Patrick. IndyCar driver. NASCAR driver. Fashion designer? Perhaps. Apparently, Patrick has had an interest in fashion before she was old enough to drive and has recently designed some of her own clothes. But don't worry. Patrick still has a few races left in her. "I would like to get in a little deeper into that as my career goes on for an after-career, career," she said.

Tennis player Andy Roddick and SI swimsuit model Brooklyn Decker recently celebrated their one-year anniversary in Hawaii. The first year of marriage is traditionally celebrated by giving something made of paper. We guess plane tickets fall into that category.

The lovely ladies of the VH1 show Basketball Wives are cashing in on their relationship status. Only 1.5 of the six cast mates are married (one's engaged, hence the .5), but that doesn't seem to bother the show's higher ups, including executive producer Shaunie O'Neal... Shaq's soon-to-be-ex-wife.

There's nothing like front-office employees and coaches' girlfriends divulging secrets. And Jeanie Buss is both! The Lakers executive vice president and significant other of Phil Jackson said there's a chance the coach will lead a different team next year. And who are we to question this bold statement? She clearly has the inside scoop.
