Lee DeWyze Is Engaged!

Lee DeWyze, the 2010 winner of American Idol, has some more great news to celebrate.

The singer, 25, is engaged to model/actress Jonna Walsh, he tells PEOPLE exclusively.

"I'm excited," says DeWyze, who popped the question July 16 over champagne on a private yacht under a fireworks-filled sky at Disney World in Orlando. The couple are planning to wed in the fall of 2012.

"Jonna is a Disney freak," he says. "They were playing love songs on the boat and I got down on my knee and asked her. I had a speech prepared but it all went out the window so I just asked her. She started crying and I said, 'Is that a yes?'"

Indeed it was. DeWyze met Walsh last October while shooting a video for his single "Sweet Serendipity." "We were casting and I saw her and said, 'Let's go with her.' I thought she was cute."

"We hung out and we went to a Lakers game on our first date. She's a Lakers fan and I'm a Chicago Bulls fan and we just clicked out of the gate." As for Walsh supporting another team, "We're seeing a counselor about that," he joked.

But DeWyze did seek another sort of counseling two months earlier: He consulted Walsh's sister before choosing an engagement ring.

"We do all kinds of stuff together," the singer says of life in Southern California with his fiancée. "We go to plays and exhibits and Jonna is really into the planning for the wedding."

Though they have been dating for only eight months, DeWyze had no hesitation before popping the question. "When you know, you know," he says. "We both feel that way. We don't need to be together 20 years before we figure it out."

Happy Birthday, Selena Gomez! Here Are Some Chic Gifts Justin Bieber Ought To Get You

Oh, Selena Gomez, we are bursting with pride like parents...or at least creepy aunts who pour over the pictures you send and remember things like "how much you loved pink when you were still small." But you aren't small anymore. In fact, you grew up before our very eyes, stepping out from Waverly Place and into the hallowed halls of The Very Adorably Dressed Women In Hollywood. So we wish you a happy 19th, and very gingerly have some teensy-tiny suggestions for what your man Justin Bieber ought to get you for the occasion.


Justin is great, for sure, and you might not know it but we watch the two of you when you aren't noticing and, GURL, it's clear he is so into you. Which is great. But you are definitely the burgeoning style star in this relationship—the one that is stepping out and creating a presence and personality within the fashion community. While we don't have any beef with the MCM bag he got you earlier this month, we think he ought to take a page from your style handbook. Which means, thinking like a 19-year-old girl who has her style game on lock.

So skip the stodgy bags (MCM is a good bet, but a girl can only have so many heritage bags, right?), and go for something youthful. Miu Miu has been making headlines with its stylish parties and your pal Hailee Steinfeld as the ambassador. They just released a killer collection of adorbz sunnies, and for a July lady, nothing could be more sun-shieldingly appropriate. (We also know how, in your youth, you dug a leopard print, and the sparkly ones are super reminiscent of the shoes you rocked at the "Never Say Never" premiere.) Lotsa glitter!

Since it's July and we have sun on the brain, all the hip young girls have been spotted in the embroidered, colorful offerings of Mara Hoffman. This is perfect for Selena because, deep down at heart, there's this bohemian vibe we totally adore. We've seen your bandeau bikinis before, and while they are aight, a colorful but well-tailored swim look would be killer.

Let us know if Justin takes our advice, OK? Maybe if we were invited to the party, we'd have brought one of these sweet treats along, too. Jus' saying.

'Glee''s Cory Monteith Is 'Straight But Not Narrow'

Cory Monteith has joined the movement of guys talking to guys about guys who like guys. Phew, say that three times fast. The “Glee” star joined the likes of Avan Jogia of "Victorious" and Josh Hutcherson of the upcoming “The Hunger Games” in saying that they are Straight But Not Narrow (SBNN).

The SBNN movement, founded by Jogia, aims to reach straight guys (and girls), opening their minds about people they know being “straight, gay, and everything in between.” If more and more straight guys start standing up for their LGBT peers, then hopefully much of the bullying toward gay teens will subside.

Cory's character on “Glee,” Finn, knows a thing or two about standing up for his gay stepbrother, Kurt (played by Chris Colfer). He didn't come to that stance without struggling with his own beliefs, but in the end realized he could be a powerful voice against bullying.

SBNN wants to spread open-mindedness, and promote a “who cares?” attitude. Does it really matter who the guy in your history class chooses to date?

"Maybe you like to play football," he says in the video. "Maybe you like to sing and dance. Maybe you like both. Maybe you don't like either. It doesn't matter, just be yourself. Just be you, 'cause that's good enough for me."

Watch the video and let us know what you think. For help establishing an SBNN campaign in your school, contact the Gay, Lesbian and Striaght Education Network (GLSEN), or start a GSA of your own.

OMG, Are Justin Timberlake And Jessica Biel Back ON?

Take your Team TimBIELake shirt out of storage, because Us Weekly magazine reports that Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel are giving their relationship another shot! In addition to bringing Myspace back, the sexy singer is adding his ex-GF to that order. The pretty pair ended their four-year relationship in March but have been spotted together all over the joint of late, and it seems like they may be seeing each other once again. Perhaps this reunited-and-it-feels-so-good moment comes courtesy of Jessica Biel's recent Revlon commercial with Pharrell Williams. Did Justin see Jessica on his pimped-out bachelor-pad TV advertising mascara and think: "Wait. I could totally get with that?"

Sigh. Sorry, Nicole. You'll just have to wait once again for your shot at single Justin Timberlake.

Taylor Swift Cancels Tour Dates Due To Illness

It may be a little difficult for Taylor Swift to Speak Now. The singer canceled several dates on her summer tour after coming down with bronchitis.

According to a statement from her label, Swift has had to shuffle around a few shows because she "has bronchitis, and has been advised by her doctor that she is not well enough to perform this week."

Her July 8 show in Charlotte, North Carolina, has been rescheduled for November 16, and two dates in Atlanta, on July 9 and 10, are now slated for October 1 and 2. "It breaks my heart to miss out on this weekend's shows with my friends in Charlotte and Atlanta," the star in a statement. "I would never cancel if I thought I was physically able to perform these shows. I am so sorry to the fans, but I look forward to seeing you when we come back through your towns, which we will do."

Swift's tour will resume on July 14 in Montreal. Swift canceled a concert in Kentucky over the weekend, marking the first time the singer has ever had to cancel a show due to illness. She alerted her fans to the news on Twitter, writing, "Louisville, I so sorry to have to postpone this show to Oct 11. This is my first time having to do this. I'm so, so sorry."

When Swift spoke to MTV News in May about the Speak Now tour, she explained it would be all about the fans. "That's why I'm so blown away. That's why I can't wait to go out on tour and thank them personally," she explained.

"We get to have such groovy, cool stuff happening. I've never had pyro before. I've never had aerialists before. It's got this grand staircase. The stage in itself looks like an old-world theater. I can't believe we get to play stadiums. I'm so excited about this tour. I want to live on that stage. I hope people leave the concert feeling like they know you better."

Get well SWIFT
