Barely four months after enduring a nationally televised breakup with indecisive Bachelor Jason Mesnick, Melissa Rycroft is engaged to fellow Texan Tye Strickland, the bride-to-be confirmed on Good Morning America Tuesday.

“Sometimes the stars align and the clouds part and everything works out the way it should,” she said in a phone call to the morning show.

Per Rycroft, the engagement took place in private at White’s Chapel in Southlake, Texas, after which the happy couple “went and met up with our parents and friends”—who were apparently onto something when they were reluctant to meet Jason last year—at a nearby restaurant.

Rycroft parlayed her rather heartbreaking Bachelor appearance into a third-place finish on Dancing With the Stars. Easy as ABC, the 26-year-old former Dallas Cowboys cheerleader was then offered a job as a special correspondent on Good Morning America this summer.

And it turns out Strickland was never too far from Rycroft’s side throughout.

“We’ve been really good friends, but the timing was never right,” she told Us Weekly of Strickland, who she started dating not long after Mesnick broke off their engagement.

“With all this going on, he’s my support system. It’s funny how things happen.”

Mariah Carey surprised the fans and crew around her as she did a little bit of cross-dressing outside the Plaza Hotel in New York City, New York June 29, 2009. Carey dressed as a chauffeur, but the best was when the beautiful singer came out as an Eminem look a like during the filming of her new music video “Obsessed”, which happens to be featured on Mimi’s soon-to-be released album called “Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel”. The track is in response to Eminem’s recent lyrical attacks of Miss Carey and her hubby, Nick Cannon.

Anna Kournikova ended up with cuts on her neck after getting into a shoving match this past weekend in Las Vegas

The former tennis ace got into a scuffle inside Lavo Nightclub on Saturday night after another woman at the club threw a drink on her, PEOPLE has learned.

An onlooker said Kournikova, 28, and her assistant were sitting at a VIP table when the other woman bumped them. They pushed each other but were separated – until the woman confronted Kournikova again as she was leaving the nightclub.

“The woman came back over and threw a drink on Anna and her assistant,” the source said. “The woman was definitely drunk.”

“Anna said she wanted the woman kicked out, but then everything started to escalate and she and the woman started shoving and pushing each other,” the source said.

The other woman grabbed Kournikova by the neck and pushed her into a wall before security broke them apart.

“Anna looked really shaken up,” the source said. Kournikova was checked out at The Venetian hotel but didn’t require further treatment, said an onlooker.

Kournikova’s rep was unavailable to comment.
