"Laguna" Star to Wed Kimberly Stewart
Perhaps inspired by the marriage-minded moves made by her good friends Paris and Nicky Hilton, Kimberly Stewart has gone ahead and taken the engagement plunge.
[Kimberly] Stewart, the 26-year-old daughter of rocker Rod Stewart, has announced that she is betrothed to Laguna Beach star Talan Torriero, 19, whom she has been dating for anywhere from one week to two months, according to varying published reports.
(E! Online's own Party Girl Lara Morgenson, who has encountered the pair out and about on her rounds, pegs the budding romance at about two weeks old.)
The twosome announced their plans to wed Wednesday night at an XBox 360 party held at a private home in Beverly Hills, where Stewart proudly showed off her sizable diamond engagement ring to the Hilton sisters, who were also in attendance.
"It's almost too big," Stewart gushed to Us Weekly. "It's beautiful."
The duo's commitment to each other was possibly reinforced by the not so near-death experience they shared last week when Hilton's beau, Stavros Niarchos, crashed the Bentley in which the foursome were riding.
The hard-partying crew walked away from the car crash unscathed and uncited, even though the non-driving (and still underage) Torriero was caught on camera by TMZ.com remarking, "I'm the only sober one."
Torriero attained celebrity heights--at least with the MTV set--last year, when he was chosen to be a central figure on Laguna Beach as a high school junior.
Though his reign on the show officially came to an end with the conclusion of Laguna's second season on Monday, the SoCal native is determined not to let his 15 minutes peter out too quickly.
"I'm doing an album, which is very exciting," Torriero told MTV News in September. "I can't tell you what label I'm with, but it's a really big label push."
Beyond his musical aspirations, Torriero said he may also try his hand at the acting game.
"I've been acting since I was young," he told MTV News. "Now I get to take what I'm doing and what skills I have and use it to my advantage."
As for Stewart's professional life, rumors that she was replacing Nicole Richie as Hilton's Simple Life sidekick never came to fruition, despite Hilton's reported campaign for her to do so. In the meantime, the gangly blonde has been working as a model and hitting the party and shopping circuits.
The engagement is the first for Torriero and the second for Stewart, who was previously engaged to musician Cisco Adler.
No wedding date has been set.

i'm not sure if you createBloggers watch mindless television like Laguna Beach but this news shocked me...
He's only 19! Sorry, but I don't have high hopes for this one to work out. But best of luck to them nonetheless.
What ... the heckk... I don't think he is that good of a singer.
