While Halle Berry seems to be getting serious with Olivier Martinez, her ex-husband Eric Benet has done some settling down of his own.

The musician, 44, whose divorce from Berry was finalized six years ago, proposed to Manuela Testolini in November with an antique diamond ring he designed, Benet confirms to PEOPLE.

"During a romantic dinner I decided to finally let Manuela hear 'Never Want to Live Without You,' a song off my new album that I had written for her," Benet says. "I sang it to her, then got down on one knee and proposed."

Manuela, an entrepreneur and founder of the charity In A Perfect World, was formerly married to Prince. She has been dating Benet for three years.

The wedding is set for this summer.

The 46-year-old reality star of "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" was checked into rehab by her family at the end of the show's shocking season finale on Thursday night.

The painful decision was made after Kim and her sister, Kyle, got into a booze-fueled war of words at fellow castmate Taylor Armstrong's birthday party. The shouting match initially started between Taylor and Kim over a previous fight the women had during a trip to New York.

The women eventually retreat back to their limo, where Kim calls Kyle a "f--king phony" while Kyle accuses Kim of being "delusional" and "demented."

She tops it off with "You are a liar ... [and] you are an alcoholic! Yeah, that's right. I've said it now, and everybody knows. "The fight continued to escalate with Kyle claiming her husband sends Kim, a single mom, money every month.

"You are so sick. My husband has helped you every month and stood by you and taken care of you, okay, like you're his second f--king wife!"


The show ended with Kyle storming the limo telling her sister that she's on her own. A written banner then announced Kim was checked into rehab by her family, then checked herself out a week later, and that the sisters have not spoken to each other since the blowout.

On the show's blog, Kyle said she would not divulge what happened after the vicious fight because it's Kim's "story to tell." "My heart was broken and I suffered an incredible amount of anxiety and panic attacks," wrote Kyle. "Next to losing my mother, this was the most difficult time of my life."

Former teen queens Debbie Gibson and Tiffany are out on the promotional trial together for their new Syfy movie, "Mega Python Vs. Gatoroid". The 80's teen queens

Debbie told Billboard, "When people see us together, they flip out."They actually thought we're one person, but now they know we're not," she joked.

"It's a little trippy. It's trippy for us, too!"

"It is such a moment for the genuine fan, for the Syfy audience and also for people who don't have a clue where we came from," says Tiffany of the film's signature fight scene.

"It's like, 'Two girls fighting? Hot! They're both hot, you know?!'

"Mega Python Vs. Gatoroid" with Debbie Gibson and Tiffany premieres on Syfy this Saturday January 29.

Amanda Seyfried is one of my favorite young actresses in Hollywood right now. I’ve been a big fan of her work since Mean Girls and love that she’s finally starting to get some of the attention she deserves. While it’s true that I didn’t really care for ‘Dear John’ or ‘Letters to Juliet’, they got her name out there and got people looking at her as a realistic leading lady. I think she has real talent which she gets to really put on display in Big Love. While I’m sad to see the show ending, I’m excited to see where Amanda’s career takes her. I am disheartened, however, to see her getting mixed up with notorious womanizer Ryan Phillippe. Hopefully things work out better for her with him than they did for Reese Witherspoon and Abbie Cornish.
Kristen Stewart has no beef with the Man of Steel. Despite reports that the actress turned down the role of Lois Lane in the 2012 Superman film, her rep tells PEOPLE there was never any discussion about her playing the part.

"There are a number of fabricated stories circulating," says the rep. "The fact is that she has not met on this film nor has she been approached for this film."


Stewart will next be seen in the drama On the Road and will reprise her role as Bella Swan in The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1 and 2.

British Tudors actor Henry Cavill, 27, has been cast as Superman.
