I miss Alias! I love Vaughn!

Michael Vartan recently confessed he met his fianceé, Lauren Skaar, in the produce section of a supermarket.

‘I saw her and I was quite stunned,’ the 41-year-old Alias star told Access Hollywood.

“I thought to myself, ‘I’ve gotta find a way – I’ve got to jockey position in this checkout line or something.’”

Before approaching Skaar, Vartan said: “I was like a blubbering idiot … I didn’t really know what to do.”

After giving Skaar his email address, the couple struck up an online relationship, emailing and texting one another.

They recently became engaged and are yet to set a date for the wedding.

Michael Vartan is thrilled to have a new alias: groom-to-be.

“I’m very blessed. I’m very happy,” Vartan, 41, tells People of his recent engagement to Lauren Skaar. The actor popped the question two weeks ago after a year of dating.

Vartan says he’s not sure exactly when he knew Skaar, who works in real estate, was “the one,” but he’s absolutely certain now.

“I know that I know, and I’m sure that I’m sure,” he says. “It’s that thing people always say: ‘When you know, you’ll know.’ I never really understood what that meant, and I do now.”

He adds: “We’ve only known each other for a little more than a year, but I literally cannot imagine my life without her. It’s crazy. It’s wonderful.”

That said, the couple’s in no rush to the altar. How long before the big day? “Ten years,” laughs Vartan. “No, I’m kidding. There’s no rules. We’ll play it by ear, but maybe a year. Enjoy the engagement, then see what happens.”

Vartan, who previously starred in ABC’s spy series Alias and currently appears in TNT’s Hawthorne, hit the red carpet Saturday at the 24th annual Genesis Awards, honoring Hollywood’s animal-friendly efforts, at the Beverly Hilton hotel.

He was pleased to report that his and Skaar’s dogs – he had two, she had one – have been cohabitating harmoniously as well. “Smooth as silk,” he chuckled. “It’s very nice.”

It has been rumored lately that Big Shots has been cancelled, though ABC has yet to announce it officially.  I hope ABC gives it another shot – I think the show has potential.  I don’t think it’s the best show on TV, but I think it’s definitely better than a lot of shows right now.

What do you think?  Should Big Shots be given a chance?

Don’t know why – just thought we could all take a moment of silence for Vaughn.
